I was one of those guys who was highly ascetic and never did drugs and meditated for exactly 10 years straight (from 20 to 30) living as a hermit and very against any substances. I developed my mind very much but very slowly, the advantage of which is that my mind could adjust to my growing mental powers readily, but the disadvantage of which is I wasted so much of my life that could have been accelerated by psychedelic use. I had during my 10 years of absolutely no substances (not even coffee) studied extensively the nervous system, meditation, energy work, psychic functioning, etc. and eventually I ended up reading books like DMT: The Spirit Molecule and then countless of the books referenced in that book. Eventually I acquired a bag of shrooms (golden teachers), apparently the most safe psychedelic, which I then did nothing with for 8 months until one Halloween I decided to take three of them. After that first experience I then went a very long time without taking any again, but eventually started to experiment again and with more mushrooms and later also DMT. What I have found quite simply with psychedelics is this: they are just an amplifier and an accelerant. They amplify your consciousness and they accelerate development. It is far easier to meditate, to learn, to game, to do sports, etc. on psychedelics and to program your own mind. I do note that every strength of a psychedelic can be a weakness too; like the increased suggestibility means that if you or someone else is programming you then you can overcome bad habits, negative thought patterns, etc. but if you're bad at programming yourself because you know nothing about NLP, IFS, CBT, DBT, operant conditioning, etc. and are the type of person already full of or otherwise prone to delusions, logical fallacies, cognitive biases, superstition, irrational fears, and dwelling on the negative and filling your mind with these things then yes it will amplify your negative attributes.
However psychedelics also come with increased awareness and it's very natural that in most cases even these people will just end up processing and resolving these negative aspects of their mind and growing from it, it's just the learning experience is far more intense and quick. The people who experience these "bad trips" or "challenging trips" usually always report that they still are glad they went through the experience.The dosage matters too. Microdosing DMT and shrooms is great. You can function throughout your day and it's like a cheatcode for videogames and sports. It enhances balance, strength, endurance, stamina, and all other functions of the body. It heals nerve damage and allows for cognitive flexibility. It reduces depression for long periods of time (and in some ways permanently), allows people to process their PTSD and actually overcome the trauma, helps people overcome anxiety, etc. Bigger doses are not very convenient and with our busy lives it's often hard to find time to go through an 8 hour trip on shrooms, although with DMT the long trip is not a problem, though DMT is more expensive and hard to find and so it hurts the wallet and is difficult to source... also DMT is harder to get any experience from at all, many people are just immune to DMT and get no effect, whereas shrooms this doesn't seem to be an issue so far as I've heard. With shrooms just .2 grams of high potency shrooms grinded up is good enough and it's especially amazing for bike rides.
If nothing else everyone should start microdosing psychedelics. If you're afraid of the big trip or have some kind of stigma about it, fine, you'll grow as a person with only 200 mg of shrooms every few days, and you can ignore the 1 gram, 2 gram, 3 gram, 5 gram (heroic dose) trips where normal functioning is increasingly difficult during the trip. However if one is suicidal, is deeply disturbed, or really stuck in a rut somehow these heroic dose (5 gram high potency) shroom trips can reset you and completely change your mindset and often cure chronic health problems. They allow you to access into deep parts of your mind and change the programming there and the body can heal. If life is going really well for you and you're already in good health then the only real reason to do a big trip is curiosity / because you want to, otherwise you'll be fine with just microdosing.The only kind of people that maybe should proceed with caution with psychedelics are those surrounded by people who are bad influences or will take advantage of them while they're in a vulnerable state, those taking antidepressants who could then develop serotonin syndrom, the kind of idiots who take a high dose while being near water and thus fall in and drown, and people who are just going to intentionally use the psychedelics to amplify the worst aspects of themselves (aka anyone with bad intentions). The ideal use of psychedelics is for study, for amplifying the enjoyment of already fun activities, for introspection, for sports, for yoga, for meditation, and for healing. If that's what you'll use them for you'll be good.
It does not make you irrational, develop delusions, etc. When scientists, philosophers, and other high IQ individuals take it the results are good. Even when stupid people take it they will become more intelligent, more empathetic, but they also may make really bad choices while in an altered state of consciousness because they already tend to make bad choices to begin with and those choices (like casual sex, or acting on impulses to do crimes, etc.) can be an issue. We already have alcohol though making people do incredibly stupid things and yet it's legal and readily available and killing lots of people every year. Psychedelics are far safer than nicotine, alcohol, and even random foods that are allergens for a lot of people. Psychedelics boost the immune system, improving cognitive functioning, cure many diseases, increase self-awareness, allow you to process huge backlogs of things in your subconscious, and are absolutely a friend to those who want to achieve virtue, greatness, insight, better relationships, and other good things.
>Alcohol is responsible for approximately 2.6 million deaths globally each year. In the United States, about 178,000 deaths are attributed to excessive alcohol use annually.>There have been three reported fatalities following DMT use, all deemed accidental, with two occurring during ayahuasca ceremonies. Recent cases in the UK involved polydrug use, which may have contributed to the deaths.DMT has three deaths over all time. Alcohol has 2.6 million deaths every year. One is illegal and the other is not.LEGALIZE PSYCHEDELICS ALREADY.
>Psilocybin-related fatalities are extremely rare; only two deaths have been attributed to psilocybin alone with no other drugs involved, and scientists have questioned those reports due to possible contributing factors.
https://www.addictiongroup.org/resources/lsd-facts-statistics/In your article you reference a myth about LSD being absorbed through the skin. "Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann first synthesized LSD in 1938 and accidentally discovered its hallucinogenic effects in 1943 when he absorbed some through his skin." It absolutely can not be, not even with substances that are known to increase absorption of other substances through the skin. Trust me, I researched this and tried, because my girlfriend got her vocal cords damaged while in the ICU after a seizure and a heart attack induced by alcohol (including drinking hand sanitizer) and meth use for three weeks non-stop while also not eating any food or drinking anything else, and afterwards she hasn't been able to swallow anything (neither water nor food) and she has to be kept alive now by tubes. I wanted to find a way to give her psychedelics that could be absorbed through the skin since she can't swallow anything as she's been in withdrawals a lot and very depressed and it just wasn't possible and you can find notes from plenty of scientists testifying that LSD just can't be absorbed through the skin even if you combine incredibly high doses of it with other substances meant to increase absorption through the skin, it just doesn't work. The only things I've been able to do for her are hug her, kiss her, be with her every day, and use my knowledge of psychology and trance to help her. The other issue I have with your article is this specific line: "In the United States, the economic cost of drug abuse, including LSD, was estimated at $193 billion in 2007, encompassing lost productivity, healthcare costs, and criminal justice costs." This tells us absolutely nothing about the economic cost of LSD and is lumping in LSD with literally all other drugs.
the first time I ever tripped out I took 17 hits of acid. unbelivable terror bad trip X a million. wew.
anon I like psychs too and think shrooms should be legal at least but you're not giving them a good look with this thread
I ain't reading all that
Legalize cocaine and ex-stacey'Yomama
>>545624146i dont think the normies can ever handle the mirror. asking too much, they cant do anything with it because they refuse to look within.
>>545625279Care to elaborate? I've never done LSD before. Also what is the LSD experience like at different doses? I'm interested in reported cases of couples developing telepathy by doing LSD together.
>>545625319How so?>>545625421Good. Psychedelics are only for white people. Jews should be prohibited from it and instead forced to drink alcohol and take fentanyl.
>>545625468That just means they will waste their time laughing at something stupid or doing something meaningless like watching goyslop entertainment crap instead of contemplating how the universe arises out of 17 quantum fields and how we have 6-dimensional time crystals in our microtubules or other things theoretical physicists contemplate.They're still going to benefit from increased empathy, nerve damage being healed, etc....and if normies all started microdosing it would be great for raising the average IQ and making the nation a better place to live in.They might not be able to do anything useful with the big trips but you can't ignore the many health benefits for the nervous system and immune system.
>>545625421Me neither, just release the toxic frogs!
>>545624146I used a lot of Acid and Mushrooms in my late teens and early 20’s. I will only say this from a human development standpoint ; Our bodies while still developing aren’t meant to handle that much nervous system overload. Could awaken episodes of mania and psychosis (not just your typical post-acid haze mind). Psychedelics have definitely refined and helped me feel confident within my identity. If I had to go back and do it over, I would have definitely still done psychedelics, but I wouldn’t have been so reckless about it.
>>545626637I didn't even start until I was 30.Also you can abuse anything and be stupid with anything. e.g. me with a fruitarian diet because "hurr durr fruits = healthy" ignoring that I had way too much sugar from only eating fruits all the time and became really sick from being so wired by so much sugar all the time. Many things have to be adjusted to the activities of the day, cycled, done in the proper amounts, etc.
