I just don't get how people like Elon can achieve ego death twice a day and still be the world's shittiest person. In my experience, psychedelics make most people better
I’ve done psychadelics like 10 tines in my life and I’ve had a good trip like 1.5 times (on shrooms). I think I’m just too clinically depressed for acid and most psychadelics
I think it is framing. All the times I have done them people have described them as bad trips to me. However, I have only positive feelings about the adventures. Like, the time I thought the thermostat was a giant spider was chill cause I realized that she was just vibin' over there minding her business and I didn't need to stress.
No matter how much psychs I've taken I've never thought my surroundings were different other than everything being covered in geometrics. I wouldn't really call them adventures more like "oh wow I'm enlightened I guess' and thats why I dont take them no more.
Huh, I suppose people's different neuroanatomy also plays a role. I can't begin to guess how things could vary between people
Everyone's brain chemistry is different. Set and setting have a lot to do with it and so does your mental state going into it.
It's also just one of those things that aren't for everyone unfortunately. I do hope that eventually we start figuring out how to use them as a normal medicine because I feel like a lot of people can benefit from psychedelic drugs. Self medicating is dangerous and a total crap shoot
The first time I tried psychadelics (shrooms) was literally the only time I had a good trip, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
I’ve been chasing that high ever since and instead, I’ve gotten bad trips time after time to the point I can say I flat out do not like LSD and cannot even imagine how people can withstand an 8 hour battering ram on your brain.
Concentrated depression and rumination for 8 hours, it fucking sucks for me.
Imo shrooms go deeper but are easier to control the dose. LSD is not something you can identify on sight, so you never truly know what you're getting until you start tripping. I'm on the wrong side of 35 to have a bunch of time for 12 hours down the rabbit hole. A gentle mushroom dose is a fantastic way for me to spend a day off cleaning and de-stressing
