Psychedelics and girlfriends

I would have posted this in another forum but sometimes I feel the LSD forum is its own seperate community.

How many of you have dealt with the issue of having a SO who wasn't into psychedelics (either didn't approve or understand why) and how how did you approach this. How do you tell someone you are dating you like to take acid?

I know some of you are blessed with a girl who digs the whole thing. It just seems like a lot more of the male community pursues the psychedelic journey. Ahh to have a lover who wishes to leave "reality" with me....one can dream I guess.

I imagine tripping with a lover/ a soulmate would be one of the most beautiful experiences this soul could partake in.

 

yeah... it's so beautiful. wonder-taking...breathtaking...

 

i've done both, *i am a girl though* and the relationship with the dude that wasn't accepting/willing to even try and understand why I enjoy tripping didn't work out or last long. Although tripping shouldn't be a barrier, it has opened my eyes to things that this person would never see, not simply through drugs. He isn't the spiritual/religious type to meditate and ponder life. It didn't work, other things affected the relationship as well.

in addition i've been with another dude who loved it as much as me; he simply liked to get fuck up (and would every day, though not necessarily on psychedelics) which was a bit too much for me, but it worked for awhiile. Every weekend we were experimenting, it was fun and we had fun. Our relationship ended peacefully, not by choice, but by force (we occasionally run into each other and its all good) but i will say tripping with someone you deeply care about is increidble, damn I can't wait for that to happen again.

either way, i will argue soul mates don't exist...but what do i know? but yes tripping with someone you love infinitely is something that even words can't describe. i think at this point in my life it would be very difficult for me to date someone who wasn't at least open minded to what I did, i would be best if they enjoyed it for their own reasons, and then we could unite to share something out of this world.

patience man, hopefully you will find her

 

I remember reading a book about Buddah after my acid trip...He stated that him and his "soulmate" were lovers in a forest in their past lives.lmao, old religions make me laugh.

 

I am going through a break up right now with a girl I dated for 5 years. This was one thing we always clashed on. She just never understood and was very against experimentation with psychs. It got to the point where I had to lie about it, which really sucked and I'm not someone who does psychs all the time (maybe once a month). And I don't want to lie in a relationship.

To make a long story short, after we've parted ways I am realizing that I was bottled up being with this girl. She was not understanding of some aspects of my life. After this experience, I now know what to look for in a woman.

I think when you meet someone it is very important that you are very up-front with them in the beginning. If they dig it, that's great..if not, move on. A lot of times people get caught up in the "lovey-dovey" phase and are willing to sacrifice certain aspects about them.

Never let a SO force you to sacrifice who you are. It will only get worse and it will hurt your relationship in the long run. And worst of all it will eat away at you as time goes on...

 

interesting, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but i strongly believe in reincarnation, and that we are drawn to those we have known before (in past lives) i don't knwo much about my past lives really, i think i have an idea of one of mine...but don't knock things.

have you ever had the experience where you were immediately drawn to someone (someone of either gender) or have there been people you just had bad feelings about right away? --not saying this is true, but i think this could be due to our past lives and knowing people, not that person, but the person their energy came from...their previous karmic imprints if you will, because in Buddhism there is no self that carries on into future lives.

 

Yes I too am in the process of a break up with a long term girlfriend who did not approve of psychs (but approved of alcohol). This is not why we broke up but it was always a problem in our relationship. I simply could not explain to her my intentions. It was like talking to a wall.

Anybody have any good stories about a relationship with an SO where psychs were used by both parties??

 

i want prone to jump on this thread

 

iv never had a girlfreind who didnt approve. come to think of it, all of them have been heavy trippers in their past. (before i met them) my current lady dosent trip anymore, but she's eaten shrooms at least a hundred times, so she can hold a real conversation about the spirituality of psychs with me, thats somthin nice. i dont know that i could really be with someone long term who has never tripped, idk, id feel like there would be a huge part of me that they just couldnt understand. not that i trip a whole lot these days, but the transformations iv expirienced through psyches are really very close to my heart, and id like to at least be able to communicate them to a lover that can comprehend what im saying

 

well i didnt mean to knock a religion in that kind of way...Old religions make me laugh only because some old religons are really rediculous in my opinion,but i respect a believer as long as the believer is chill.....My beliefs = karma, reincarnation, and past lives....My uncle actually said while tripping on acid he seen into his past life,as in he watched his face change on acid

I just dont like the idea of getting carried away by a religion

I respect tho lol :cheers2:

 

i respect your open mindeness, likewise i agree that anyone who gets overly caught up in their beliefs is a bit ridiculous...but im getting on to you here, not out of spite but to try show you what you did

so why laugh at that when you yourself believe things of that are possible...seems you contradicted yourself a bit here

peace brother

 

yeah, past lives...i believe in em.
why would we ultimately feel bad about somebody immediately?
it has to do with the inside,
much like our trips,
unexplainable...

 

not necessarily unexplainable

 

I have a girlfriend who is very into psychedelics.
But we still clash on the subject.
She does it for fun, i do it for insight.
She treats psychedelics like a toy.
Which i view as very wrong.

 

This.

then have the insight to let go of your views of this, as it is causing nothing but friction. she must find out on her own the better way to use it, if one can say such a thing.

 

Well i pawned quite nicely lmao...I do not know what i believe in but thanks for pointing out my contradiction....

If i were to get into psycdellics i would veiw it as a toy with awesome outcomes...Veiwing it as a spiritual hoopla thing could be both positive and negative in my mind...It is spiritual but i would veiw it more as a good time...Its just a drug after all.

 

Psychedelic Drugs are farrr more than "just a drug"
I find that demeaning to PsyDrugs.

 

itsallgood, if its just a drug, why do you post in all these long winded spiritual/psychological discussions?

is this something else you're not sure of?

 

My love trips just as much as I do

 

Allright so i went a little over-bored lol...I went really over board actually lol...Too over-board...Honestly really over board...lol...That stopped after i started burning..Too much thinking
