Benefits from a psychedelic experience?

I've been doing Psilocybin Mushrooms for a little over a year now, do them about once or twice a month on average...they have been the best thing that has ever happened to my life. They were able to let me see my own inner workings and thought processes that my ego was shielding me from. One of which being that I was fat, and that it was not ok.

I was able to realize that I could do better than the job I was working at for four years that made me think about killing myself all the time. I now work at a job I absolutely love and am making more money than I ever have. After getting out of the job I hated I joined a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym and work out 4-5 times a week and absolutely love it. I am happy in life. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who isn't happy in life and can't figure out why. I'm pretty sure I was in a depression before I found them.

The only reason I would say be weary of them is if you have serious mental disorders in your family history like bipolar and whatnot. If you do plan to trip, I would strongly recommend to research, research, and more research before doing so. I read countless stories on erowid.org's experiences section to get somewhat an idea of what I was stepping into before I did. I read the horror stories, the perfect harmony stories, everything I could get my hands on.

Another really good read is http://www.badtripguide.com/ - after doing countless trips this guy's description of tripping is spot on. My advice if you're tripping and for any reason you start to kind of freak out or have negative thoughts, just FORCE yourself to think positive. Say out loud "I want to think of happy things, nice things, be positive!" The fungus is a teacher and it will listen to you if you don't overdose and go in over your head and what you can handle.

Speaking of overdosing: WEIGH WHAT YOU HAVE. Do NOT just grab a handful and start munching! Get a digital scale, weigh out what you want and eat it. It takes about an hour to hour and half to kick in, so don't just start munching more, you'll regret it.

Also you can grow them REALLY easily and buying the spores to grow them is legal.

I can go on and on and on about how amazing they were for me. Lord knows I've talked my friends ears off trying to get them to come trip with me, but growing up in the bible belt of Louisiana people are pretty apprehensive. Feel free to PM me any questions if you want if you think I've been helpful.

I've done a few psychedelics.

Mushrooms make you more aware of your more "primitive" self I think. If you have trouble with anxiety or indecisiveness, they can help. It won't "fix" anything in your personality but it at least gives you a clearer picture of what you're working with. I've had memories from my early childhood come flooding back an hour into trips. Some of them were not so good but it allowed me to work on certain things.

Do not do what I did though and eat a whole bag first time. It's...Not fun but enlightening. I thought I was badass until the whole universe pissed on my brain.

LSD for me is straight up euphoric and mind-blowing BUT, it's like having a really awe-inspiring dream. You know you had the dream but you can't remember the details. Trying to write/record the experience is pointless because all of your filters are stripped away. What you think and feel only makes sense in the moment and only to you.

Psychedelic drugs aren't the end-all solution but it beats therapy by a mile. I can speak from experience.

I tried both LSD and shrooms several times last summer and it couldn't have happened at a more crucial and opportune time. I was a beta who had been friendzoned and in doing the drugs it not only led me to TRP but it also helped me to internalize the theory and also helped me truly see the world for what it is.

I saw every intricate detail of how people interact with each other and how the way they hold themselves establishes how people treat them. Everything from subtle hand gestures to eye contact and body language became apparent to me and it made me hyper-conscious of how I carried myself.

While I was tripping I began seeing how my father, who was once an alpha, had become beta-ized by my mother, getting no respect from neither her or me. I saw how the more he tried to please our every whim without any regard to his own desires, the less respect he got from us. He used to beat both of us when we got out of line but he got soft and my mother capitalized on this and taught me to resent him. I realized how strength, dominance, and power establish where you stand in the hierachy.

I also went feral and felt my desires at the most primitive level. I felt so liberated at that time to not be ashamed of my sexuality, regardless of what my mother and society had taught me. All I wanted to do was fuck, kill, and eat, instead of facebook and youtube. It was great.

Psychedelics for me destroyed my perception of what society deems correct and gave me a reset, and in finding TRP I was able to recreate my view of the world. However, the downside of it all was that finding TRP right after my trips was the cherry on top of really blowing my mind and It spiralled me into an extreme depression and anxiety for 3 months. Though, you having already taken the pill and gotten over the emotional trauma of the truth so you should fair much much better than I did, especially if you are at a good point in your life.

Just like TRP, psychedelics is a one way trip, so know that there's no going back. Your view of the world will shift radically.

I've been TRPing for a few months and did LSD for the first time this weekend. I was looking up at a flat-iron mountain against the sky thinking about how amazingly that mountain was holding its frame.

I had a mega RP discussion with my friend while we were tripping, I can give details if anyone's interested. Much of it was my own monologue, but we faced 2 situations that night after we came back to reality and my game was way better than usual. It's only been a few days and I was only out that night, but I should know this weekend if there was a longer term boost in game. I don't feel any different in my day-to-day life.

I actually tried LSD for the first time about a month ago and I notice a slight change. I don't recommend taking it and hoping for a change, but rather just experience it. It's a 12 hour long trip so your mind, imagination, insecurities, and ego will all come out and confront you. So take caution when taking it and make sure your head is clear before you do it. Take with friends and turn on pandora for the best results.

The slight changes I got was eliminating the cynical attitude I carried, being in touch with my masculinity, and sleeping better. Overall a good change, but my mind and body were already on track of bettering itself.

Don't do drugs, because the actualization of change that you're seeking should come from an active desire (i.e by yourself). Relying on an abuse-able / psychedelic substance to begin that change will actually have a negative result.
