    Of course, we all had a drug that just changed your perspectives or gave you an open mind about your surroundings. Haha, mine actually is tripple c's :p
    Im on them right now XD But Ever since ive done them I really realised whats going on in the world and how the government is taking over and a whole lot of personal things too. Like, My outlook on people and judging them.

    Whats yours ? :p

    i'm sure every drug i've tried has changed my perspectives in some way... but overall i'd say i'm who i am for reasons other than the drugs i've done. it's probably more accurate to say i've done the drugs i have because of who i am...

    Marijuana and Salvia...

    Salvia was the eye opener, marijuana was the moderator.

    But beyond the drugs are my actions as a result... the tremendous reading/research and meditation on all questions asked.

    My eyes are open, and now I can make better sense of what I see :)

    Definitely penicillin, without it I would cease to be.

    Other than that, I don't do hard drugs and of that which I have done, nothing particularly changed my life. Just made some days more enjoyable than others. :D

    No drug changed my life. But I enjoy smoking weed and an occasional trip.

    valium. i realized when i took valium and all the anxiety just melted away that i'm an anxiety freak. it made me more aware of the constant level of anxiety and the physical manifestations of the anxiety. this helped me to tune into what increases it and what decreases it more. i wouldn't say that i've ever gotten rid of the anxiety, but i've learned to pay attention to it more and manage it better. if they ever come up with a drug that does what valium does, but isn't addictive and doesn't cause tolerance to develop...i'm on it! :D

    the usual eye openers others mentioned, lsd, shrooms. but I'm still skeptical about that statement. psychedelics tune you into yourself but I've seen few people utilize the information.

    ego death is a bizarre experience for those unfamiliar with it (i myself, though having used psychedelics many times over have only experienced it a few times)

    its kind of hard to explain...but....

    think of the ego not in the ordinary use of the word (hubris, pride, self-worth)

    rather think of your ego as everything that distinguishes you from everything else, that is, everything that's not you. the ego is the essence of your being and your personality in this sense.

    ego death occurs in several ways as far as i'm aware, but its most basic form is when you become without self, without ego, when your mind is in such a state that it cannot distinguish between yourself and the rest of the universe. everything is one, and you are incapable of thinking of yourself as an independant entity with your own personality, style, thoughts, emotions, etc.

    more striking is coming face to face with the pure void, a state of whirling chaos and absence of anything. a state where you have no real thoughts, are completely dissociated from your body, and are engulfed in pure psychedelia.

    these types of states can also be reached more reliably and utilized to a higher end if achieved through meditation, but it takes far more work and practice.

    ego death is often considered among the most important varieties of psychedelic experience as it is one of the most earth shattering and one of the few experiences that may make you rethink your existance and the nature of the soul and reality even once you return to normal reality.

    it is often experienced as a pure state of ecstacy and bliss, as a spiritual revelation, but for those not expecting it or incapable of handling it, or for people who hold very deep religious beliefs which are ripped to shreds when facing such an experience, it can be deeply disturbing and unsettling.


    this is all simply how i understand it, other people may feel differently about it or have something to add or correct to what i've said. i hope what i wrote was clear and not just jibberish.

    and i can't say any particular drug has changed my life, though overall drug use has changed my life in many (mostly small) ways. particularly using psychedelics has changed my outlook and attitude about life in general
