My experience with psychedelics was that it wasn't anything spectacular. It was just an experience. There was never any transformative thing that happened. It was fun at times and I had my share of bad trips too. Coming down is sometimes welcomed. I always knew it was the artificial and that anything outside of that was just b.s. invented by those who wanted to claim something that never was there in the first place. LSD, mushrooms, ecstasy, other hallucinogens are an escape. But, reality is better.drumdude wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 1:04 amExcellent point. There’s a growing, and in my opinion, dangerous secular movement to glorify psychedelic experiences. Joe Rogan and others like him seem to believe that the “machine elves” are real. Most proponents really highlight the positives and benefits, and rarely mention that a bad trip can result in permanent serious mental damage.ghost from the past wrote: ↑Sat Mar 11, 2023 12:53 amIt's similar to psychonauts that claim tripping on mushrooms unlocks the "real" reality to allow contact with multidimensional beings but there is never anything revealed to these experimenters that they didn't already know.
Take a look at people tripping some time when sober. You'll probably only see someone speaking jibberish. Sure, they may be having a good time, but reality is better.
