People who fear the change it can bring about can achieve little. People who embrace the change and realization it brings benefit the most.

If I interpret your post right PB, do you mean a fear of escaping your depressed state? Because depression can be strange that way, in that while it's making you miserable you don't want to do anything that would make you feel happy. It stems from "I'm not up to being happy" really, but I eventually came to realize that it's not about being happy, it's about gaining the strenght to be happy and cure the exhaustion.

I meant the cognitive change, not necessarily the emotional change it may bring about. I, too, have been in extremely depressed stages, and I know the whole "Well, do I really want to be happy again?" dilemma. That's when my chronic pain began, and over time, I realized I was making myself hurt more with the misery and self-pity I was afflicting on myself. That's when I discovered pot, and it showed me that I can live life with pain.

EDIT: Funny thing you're on tonight, Gandalf, I'm watching my copy of 1978's Lord of the Rings by Ralph Bakshi... Good stuff

I never got how using certain drugs is a "psychological exploration" tool...? or some of them.

Because when your on drugs, your under the influence of something else other then your own naturality. So how can you explore yourself if your not even actually yourself? Your just fucked up on something, right?

this is very untrue, some drugs literally enhance the way that the experience makes you feel, of course your not yourself that is the whole point of drugs, you don't find it to be a psychological exploration to be on any hard psychedelic drug that i can't mention, any number of things that any drug does to you can enhance the way you are effected by it, and you really have to do a lot of psychedelic drugs to understand what i am saying

Hahahaha! You know what PurpleBanana? I was interpreting your post wrong because I thought I clicked on the other thread about psychological health! Oh man I knew I my eyes were heavy and I was half awake, but I must have been a lot more out of it than I thought!

I love getting high and thinking. I share the exact same passion, and believe it or not I've never tripped. As soon as I get out of my troubling situation and back to smoking, I'll definitely go on a few trips.

Challenge: Try and develop a new color while on a trip. It will either make you or break you There is no possible way to develop a new color, but it would be a breakthrough if you did. (I'm not talking about mixtures, I'm talking about a raw color.)

Something else that's kind of scary, but possibly fun is imagining your life if you had changed one thing about it, or possibly made one decision differently. I bet it would be too overwhelming, and possibly depressing. But those general types of things would be awesome on a trip.
