We used to joke about how it didn't matter how off chops you were, not being able to construct a word as much as a sentence,yet we still understood each other, or as i see now were connecting on another level. I can sit here and recapture the estatic feelings I would get as a trip was coming on, but see now it was the antisipation of just being, and absolute clarity of mind amongst the craziness, rather than the craziness and sense of being totally out of control phsyically that was the motivating factor to take the drug. Its interesting, at first its about fun, you don't understand it but it feels good, you listen to other peoples experiences, some not so good, however this seems to boost your sense of invincibility and ability to cope with being out of control. You go harder and there even seems to be an unspoken statis created by how much a person can have and not loose their shit. This I feel for me is where it slowly became a misguided habit. You would now only feel comfortable around others that are tripping. Why can't I cope with this anymore? I can always cope! was the question and answer/statement that dragged me from, what was total bliss but now was kaos and confusion, of psychedelic drugs, to stimulants where I regained my power and control! (SO I THOUGHT!) I feel my later experiences of psychedelic drugs, the anxiety of loosing control, has blocked my desires to reconnect with, and be at peace(trust) with the realm which cannot be controlled. Although I feel totally blessed to have had the experiences, just a little lost at present. I agree that barbecues and sport no longer fullfil me, as an Aussie male this is almost an offense worthy of burning you at the stake. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insightfullness. PS If the article is correct and traditional drugs are becoming popular again, then I guess collectively, on a sole level the kids are ready to reconnect and get clarity of their minds again. My only hope is they can be quided or quide each other lovingly and confidently through there experiences. Hi Jost
This article resinates with me deeply, it prevokes a sadness or sense of loss in me for what i did not embrace when i was young and taking LSD etc. I am now 34 and it has only just occurred to me that the craziness of trips, the feeling of being totally off your face and out of control, was the phsyical aspect. We used to joke about how it didn’t matter how off chops you were, not being able to construct a word as much as a sentence,yet we still understood each other, or as i see now were connecting on another level. I can sit here and recapture the estatic feelings I would get as a trip was coming on, but see now it was the antisipation of just being, and absolute clarity of mind amongst the craziness, rather than the craziness and sense of being totally out of control phsyically that was the motivating factor to take the drug.
