Why do you use psychedelics?

[420mory]

the first time I came across mushrooms was when some friend of mine told me, hey girl we bought some shrooms
wanna join us ??
and I was like sure, not having much of an idea what to expect
I heard some things about it but I could not imagine what I would see
I thought maybe smurfs or gnomes or fairies something like that
so the first time was pure for the fun
and also the second time was but then I started to learn things about myself and the world and that was the reason I continued doing it after those 2 times
and it really makes u appreciate life again for all the small things and the big things
and u get respect for plants , friend , stuff , envirement and so on
its beautifull

hahaha nice.

Read my thread called "An In-Depth account of one night with Psilocybin" for more on my say in the matter.

haha to each his own.
there's no right or wrong reason for doing psychedelics.
come on dex, more open-mind less hostility.
you know the drill.

me personally, I do them for a combination of fun and enlightenment.
I almost always learn something about the world when I trip, whether it's about myself or anyone else, or even people in general. I enjoy the solitude of tripping, and value that more than any other part of a trip. If I can't even get a minute or two for my own personal discovery, then the trip isn't complete. That's just me though, and I know plenty of others who do it just for "fun", and that's fine by me, but taking some alone time while tripping is definitely recommended.

I also like how tripping removes any sort of restraints on my mind, and it goes whereever the wind takes it, which I guess sort of goes with learning things about myself and the world.

What is there to be open minded about? Using chemicals just for "fun" or to get "high" is what I consider disrespectful. Misusing drugs gives conscientious users a bad name.

â??don't feed me any of the spiritual bullshitâ?�

You tell me who needs to be more open-minded.

[enthused]

I use them because I want to. I want to have fun. I want to sit in awe staring at a beautiful forest for hours. I want to write crazy guitar riffs and interesting lyrics to a song. I want to be tripped out. I want to feel like the music I hear is inside of me and part of me. I want to be one with nature. I want spiritual enlightment. There are plenty more. Simply..I do it because I want to.

well dex, first off I am pretty sure spicoli was being somewhat sarcastic, so that was just jeff being jeff.

and really who did write the book on "misusing" drugs? When does someone consider a person to be "misusing" drugs? Where do "misusing" and "conscientious users" meet? I'm just saying that simply b/c a person doesn't do drugs for the same reason as you that it is indeed "disrespectful". Don't get me wrong, crack heads are one thing, but just b/c some people want to have a little fun doesn't mean they are bringing psychedelics a bad name.

The use of anything for purely parasitic purposes is obviously gluttonous and abusive. Indulgence for puerile reasons is synonymous to misuse as far as I am concerned.

Moderation and discretion must be implemented and incorporated into every aspect of oneâ??s daily life. It is a harmonious and pure way of being, the high road if you will. Iâ??m not saying that it is easy or even achievable, but it is certainly something to strive for. These feelings flood over into my views about drug use; to take any drug for selfish reasons is disrespectful to the substance and offensive to those who value it. Mental masturbation with psychoactive chemicals in pursuit of a pointless and trivial â??highâ?� is blaspheme to any true psychonaut.

Iâ??m not trying to sound â??holier than thouâ?� about this, but I feel pretty strongly. For kids looking for cheap thrills there are lots of other superfluous drugs out there to take. Maybe I'll write the book.
