Any regrets?!

So... does anyone regret their psychedelic journey? (strong long-lasting ones; LSD, psilocybin, mescaline... the ones most known as being truely an intense long soul shattering experience) Did you find your life to be more happy and less depressing before taking psychedelics? (be honest... saying <no> just for the confidence without really meaning it is lying to yourself)

I have no regrets at all, but I do wonder how it would've been if I never did... even though I started young when my perceptions weren't at a stable point, I can't know for sure if I'd be the same person as I am today if I'd of never gone on this journey... maybe I would've gained the same perspetives from something else then those substances.

Like... for a while (2-3 years ago), when I got into my first experiences and all, I honestly had regrets a few weeks after... I thought I wasn't normal and that I'd think things that I just, can't think of at my age, where kids are supposed to be having fun, and that the other people my age just can't understand what goes on in my brain, and that I just took a completely different road from normality... and felt I'd kill myself or I'd become insane being able to do any actions without judging it (ex: Killing didn't seem very bad, like... what is "killing" anyways... or dieing) whatever...... But throughout the years, and throughout more experiences, I started accepting that road ... and now, I have no regrets whatsoever, am very happy with my perceptions and how I live my everyday life. But really, even if I wouldn't of taken that road, what would I have to regret?
We make decisions, even though they're good or bad... there's a stage of acceptance we have to go through... a murderer will have to live through his devastating act eventually, learning the mistake of his actions.

Did some of you have to go through that process... of forcing yourself to live with this change in your perception, but deep down, not really likeing that new change...? Once you go through that valve , you can't come back... you have to adapt to it... in other words, would you rather of kept that valve closed and lived in ignorance,happiness and innocence?

 

ok well, iknow i dont regret taking that road, i wish id respected it a bit more, and gotten off that road a few hits sooner..i guess i may have some minor regrets
if nything u regret a few of the others whod been exposed to it through me but not many
but iknow i wouldnt be who i am today if it wasnt for the expeiriences ive had
but to you i wonder you said you were ..guessing 15? and at 17 your ..well maybe i read that wrong or something but your equating the decision to trip to the decision to murder?
i keep thinkin i probly misread that
but anyway
for me the psychodelic road wasa lifechanging experience for me and i love the life and the me i ended up with but if i do regreat anything its that i started my journey when my life wasstill in turmiol and i was not yet quite in a stable mindspace... luckily luck and guidance brought me into other life changing circles that helped me to 1st tap into the experience more fully then let it go and move beyond it
i dont believe the psychodelic experience however woulda been the only possible path to where i am, was just the 1 i chose.. i definately regret every other drug i did except weed ..
theres definayely lil things i regret..but overall nope
well my only regret though is in a few who probly shoulda never tripped but only did cause they knew i always had some

 

the first time i tried psychedelics i was 15, and definitley not ready for the expierence. afterwards, i regretted doing it because i had a really bad trip (it included an ambulance ride). it definitley changed my outlook on life forever, but now that i look back on it, i dont regret it at all- it was an expierence good or bad, and it has led me to look to the intellectual and psychological side of psychedelics, as opposed to the just the "fun" side.

 

pip... i love you.



everything i have ever done has made me who i am, which is insanely cliche. but cliches are cliche for a reason. i think there's a point, no, lots of points in the journey, where you have to decide to go forward no matter what is revealed to you, and work through it, or stay where you are and accept that there are things you don't want to know. i'm proud of being able to keep pushing myself into the unknown, because even if the ultimate truth is that all life is meaningless and painful, at least i'll know that i'm not believing a lie. i think we all "walk the same path", but it's like candyland... some people ride a rainbow and get to the candy castle faster, and some get stuck in the goo. and some people are green, some people are red, some people are yellow, and some people are blue... but we're all gingerbread men.

the only frustrating thing is when i try to bring someone along with me, and they decide to pull a plumpy card when we're hanging out with gramma nut. but that's their choice, and when they're ready, they'll come.

so no regrets. it's a waste of energy. everything happens exactly as it's supposed to and it could not possibly be better.

 

I regret the overuse of 2c-e. I really think boomers, LSD, and DMT were the only psychs worth doing.

 

I regret not inventing a certain B-52's song, but thats something else. I do however, regret the time I ate an 8th of mushrooms, then ate another 8th about 4 hours into. Talk about exploding bones in space. Not fun. I actually saw the sun come out at night time and I cried at it.

 

Yea the sun at night phenomenon is when you know you're tripping face.

 

Got that right. It happened another time when me and my girl ate acid at the Philly folk fest, we both saw something bigger than the sun and more bright, but it was still dark outside. And some random dude walking by and he saw it too. My girl asked him like "what is that big thing in the sky?" And he was like "It's beautiful...." Yep, it was great.

 

lmao i had the same trip...but off of shrooms ...the only diffrence was i saw more of an eclipse

 

Damn, that sounds crazy! I wonder what eclipse look like when your tripping. Ok, Im picturing it now, just got to put my brain on trip mode......

 

i have a fetish for tripping during the day for some reason.....i like it better but when that shit happen the entire world went dark on me for what seemed like forever....

 

Tripping during the day is way better because there is more stimulation. Because everything is brighter and more alive your mind has more to go off on.

 

my only regret is not doing mushrooms with my one friend who moved to toronto, he is like a yogi/guru all my friends who have tripped with him has learnt lessons from his phislosphy

 

no. regardless of what happens, i never regret it. its an experience and although not always fun, experiencing is important. otherwise you'll never learn anything.

 

I agree almost fully, but due to overuse of a particular RC, I may have developed some physical health problems. Sure I had a blast and gained knowledge of the infinite, I wish I could live life comfortably straight now.

Or it may all be dealt in my hand, who knows at this point.. the after effects of experience should be considered, all I'm saying. Simply a warning, not an anti-drug slogan.

 

what sort of health problems???meaning u personally

 

Tremors, spasms, urinary retention, dysphagia, and a bunch of other inexplainable shittiness.

 

reminds me of my first trip ever, on shrooms, i ate a 1/4oz over time and saw a sun-like colorful spirit type thing and yea... it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and I cried. I felt extremely in tune with nature. That trip was the best trip I've EVER had on any drug.

 

and I get spasms sometimes maybe that explains it... fuckin RC

 

never a regret. drugs have made me who i am today




and me, too
