Got me thinking...that'd be cool to have a story like this...when someone is tripping.

not to get too "rabbit hole" but it does make sense that if these substances allow a person to reach an enlightened state of being, that the powers that be would really want to ensure the masses couldn't reach such levels

What's the point of having a brain if you can't occasionally take it for a psychic joy ride?

I'll never understand you squares.

please show me one person who achieved great things because of the use of hallucinogens.

Square thinking at its squarest: if LSD doesn't make you a more productive tax payer, it's bad.

The trip is the greatness, the revelations are the achievements--most any voyager knows this.

Save that MDMA for night time. If it's hot out you might regret it, there's a comedown/crash that follows eating ecstasy or good Molly, and you will NOT want that to occur when it's hot or you still have to do your thing around people. However, if Bama is a night game and we are about to win, eat it with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter and then go where the people are celebrating afterwards... you will have the best night EVAAA. Then you will also be able to crash comfortably when you're ready to.

Sounds like Bonaroo.

Your emotions would be on a whole different level after a big win. I guess if the weather was right, it would be great during the day. If it's hot like Louisiana likes to do well into November.... best of luck, and mix in water frequently!

This past year I did a few lines out of a chit-chat bag before the Arkansas game and nearly came to blows with 2 of their more retarded/a-hole fans there. Those "emotions" work both ways!

Have you ever done Hallucinogenics

Yes. Loved the experiences. But anything that makes you feel that good can't be that good for you.

? Any Experience in Psychological Treatment?

No

Yours was one of the best and most enlightening replies I've ever seen on this forum.

Cheers to your experience and to this post on a whole.

I've done every mainstream hallucinogen there is except mescaline. Always recreational though.

LSD was being experimented with by psychologists for therapeutic purposes in the 50s and 60s with very positive results before it was outlawed.

All through recorded history, in cultures all over the world hallucinogens have been used in spiritual rituals which would be akin to psychological treatment today. See ayahuasca used still by remote Amazonian tribes.

While I've only used seeking recreational fun, every experience I've had has been extremely positive psychologically. Obviously like anything, if done too much it can have very very bad side effects. But used correctly, in moderation and in the right environment it will be positive.

There are studies that show that when using LSD you're using different parts of your brain that aren't normally used. I truly believe that hallucinogens can be enlightening. I believe that my experiences with them helped change the way I think and view things for the better, and I believe that comes from the whole unlocking different parts of your brain thing.
