Be sure to do your research, psychedelics are not something to take lightly. Learn about set & setting and what to expect as well as dosing. One bad trip can do much more harm than good on your mental health. Utilized properly they are a great tool to improve yourself mentally.

Yep. Several deep engagements.

Changed my world view? Nope. Mine has been accurate from the beginning. I don't live in fantasy land without my knowledge.

During the trip? Sure, I explore the cosmos. After the trip? Not really. It's like a rollercoaster; there's some residual excitement and thoughts but its fades away. I'd recommend it to people though, really helps stir up the neural network in your brain.

Acid, E, Shrooms.

It's expanded my consciousness. Gave me a view of my own life from another angle.

Just do some DMT - will give you perspective about nature of underlying reality.

Huasca is great, 8 years of therapy in 8 hours. Again if you don’t want to do the work 8 years of therapy will do nothing for you

I’ve done ayahuasca quite a bit and mushrooms. Learned how to brew it and use different plants for different effects. The result were at times terrifying, and at times pure ecstasy. There seems to be this trend of thought that psychedelics are somehow a shortcut to enlightenment. And my older wiser self sees it as somewhat gimmicky. The truth can be found with much safer methods and traditional spiritual practices: (yoga, celibacy, meditation, grounding, diet), without the need for risky potentially harmful substances. There was a time that I recommended it to more adventurous youthful and curious individuals. But these days, not so much.
It’s simply too much for me to handle now. And I traumatized myself pretty badly thinking “i just need to take this heroic dose, and I’ll have the truth.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. It’s typical of our fast food culture to think this way. But the reality is, there is no shortcut to enlightenment. Ironically, I could never have the perspectives i now have without these experiences. So was it worth it? I think so. But do take the warnings of others seriously if you decide it is for you. The stuff can be downright dangerous.

Not psychedelics, but I enjoy cannabis. I have chronic pain so I legally can smoke it medicinally, but generally only do every so often to take the edge off or to pull a stick from my arse. That being said I’ve made some notations on the composition on of the mind from my experiences.

For instance, couch lock or an inability to move is because your conscious mind which moves your body autonomously is unable to do so anymore. If you concentrate you’ll notice that you now have to regulate your own perception of gravity (feeling heavy) and movement. You can even switch your frame of reference from the frontal cortex dominated conscious mind to the middle brain subconscious.

Yea a decade or so back. I've tried almost everything. It was collectively incredible and one of the best things I've done in life. It has nothing to do with mgtow but I see reality as a bit of an illusion, so I can stomach being different easily as I don't take society and it's games seriously.

ayahuasca and psilocybine shrooms, changed my life forever. Not for faint of heart

I mainly do weed (a lot) wich is a very low tier psychodelic and i also used to do lots of yoga wich in my experience is a very strong natural psychodelic if done with enough intensity and meditation practice (so no yoga pants estretching the butt kind of yoga, the real one focused on the nerve system, breathing and so on).
The way you put it it sounds like we are passive observers of our experience but i believe we are actively protagonists of our lives i strongly believe in free will.
I would disagree that we just having an experience means that the risks for men doesnt matter so much i think thats just the endorfines talking haha.
The way i live my life is a constant analysis of my own subejctive experience to try to understand more and more how it actually works (im struggling with actually putting all my ideas together, as for now its a mess of notes all over the place)
