I’ve probably tripped around 20 times throughout my life. I did it mostly because I bought into the idea that psychedelics would improve my life and habits in some way. I don’t believe that anymore, and I don’t think psychs really changed my life at all except it gave me lots of cool memories. I kind of feel some level of nostalgia for that reality-bending feeling of being on psychs, even though the last time I took it was only a couple months ago. It’s just so different from everyday experience.
It’s done wonders for me. Some people might read this and assume that I simply lost my mind after taking shrooms, but to me it’s been the most beatiful feeling I ever felt and it opened doors I never even knew existed. My interests were always a bit “out there” and I’ve been going into rabbitholes ever since I first got my first dialup modem, so I’m not overly shocked that it just opened a couple new pathways for me to dive into.
Having been an atheist most of my life, after tripping on shrooms I got really curious about the general idea of consciousness which lead me to Carl Jung and ancient egypt which both rekindled old interests in “the occult”, bicameral mind, metaphysics and spirituality in general.
Edit: Open to any questions, btw.
