>'We can easily see how LSD inverts the relationships of ill humor, stupidity, and thought: it no sooner eliminates the supremacy of categories than it tears away the ground of its indifference and disintegrates the gloomy dumbshow of stupidity; and it presents this univocal and acategorical mass not only as variegated, mobile, asymmetrical, decentered, spiraloid, and reverberating but causes it to rise, at each instant, as a swarming of phantasm-events. As it slides on this surface at once regular and intensely vibratory, as it is freed from its catatonic chrysalis, thought invariably contemplates this indefinite equivalence transformed into an acute event and a sumptuous, appareled repetition.'

You as well as every other millennial has done this by now. I'm really disillusioned by psychedelics but I used to be interested in them when I was a little bit younger. They're cool still but so many children and retards have ruined their image for me. Ayahuasca mixtures are about the only one I think really has lasting impact, at least for me, but even it fades after months-years

Psychedelic drugs are not a rare candy that levels up enlightenment. They're at best a form of mentally dangerous entertainment that produces easily gotten delusions of having real insight. Terrence McKenna produced no thought of real substance and died of brain cancer. Alan Watts was an obfuscating entertainer with garnishes of real wisdom that lived a life as a plastic monk and profited greatly from the hippie counterculture.

There's a good reason Buddha advocated against drugs as one of the five precepts. They limit self control, impede coherent thought, overexaggerate mental connections to a schizophrenic level, often spiral into hedonism, encourage egotistical confirmation biases and can outright cause insanity in heavier users. So many psychedelic users are evangelists about this dangerous and ultimately indulgent form of recreation. People like Phillip K Dick saw dozens of people crumble around them into death or psychosis because of these kinds of carefree attitudes.

What are drugs though? What about sugar? Or the drugs produced in your body/brain? All the medicines that treat people with severe illness (non-psychedelic or psychiatric medicine and not mental illness in this case but those are important too) and keep people alive? All the foods you eat or beverages you drink which contain chemicals which could be considered a drug just as much as anything else?

DMT is the psychedelic drug in ayahuasca along with the catalyst to make it orally active (some sort of MAOI, usually a beta-carboline in a plant like the ayahuasca vine banisteriopsis caapi traditionally. The experience is different but so is DMT taken intravenously or insufflated

You could use DMT HCl along with a pharmaceutical MAOI and it would still be the same experience (more or less) to any other form of ayahuasca that uses a DMT-containing plant along with caapi vine or Syrian rue

My friend did lsd a while back and didnt experience anything close to what most people see as a traditional high where people see colors and shapes. He said it just made his mouth numb and everything seem funny. Although he did only take 125 micrograms. Did he just not take enough?

I had to go through the worst trip of my life to snap me out of my obsession with the idea, but LSD has no final "answer" waiting for you. It is an experience that feels infinitely meaningful, and feels like it is hiding secrets somewhere at the bottom, but everything you experience on LSD is all their is. Maybe this won't mean anything until you take the round trip yourself, but you can hit the "bottom" of yourself with a large enough dose and you will feel that it is incomplete and incomprehensible right to the core. There is no understanding waiting for you. There is only curiosity and frustration no matter how far you go, and it only ends once you realize that's the case.
That isn't to say you shouldn't take it. It's a marvelous drug and can point your attention towards some amazing things about your own mind. But remember that you're not studying, you're not becoming whole, you're not "getting closer." What you think is what you get.
Good luck anon

Based and true, although it seems like these kinds of drugs have stimulated creativity in some artists so there is that. Still, it's playing with fire and not a route to genuine enlightenment.

I spent 3 years on and off with L and what I've found is that it's like standing in an empty steel container, but every time you walk towards a wall, it grows slightly more out of your reach. You realise how much larger the room is inside, which amazes, but eventually you find out you can't ever reach the wall, the "answer". The room becomes so large that you can't even guess where close to center is. Many people don't ever ask themselves what they would even do if they could touch that wall. "Life's complete, you found the answer, congrats, but you're 30something and have 55 more years ahead of you, now what?"

I agree with Sartre that man is condemned to be free. People don't want to choose their own life, they want to be told what the best life for them is. They want the individual guidelines on exactly what's right for them, who is right for them, and what decisions to take when. The problem is that casting this away is to cast away our humanness. We must eternally suffer knowing that nothing will ever be right enough for us. The moment one thinks that someone else has the whole answer for them is the moment they gave their humanity away and should and shall be treated like such.

>tl;dr acid is good at expanding the metaphorical ever-expanding steel box you exist in, but you can't ever begin to leave this box. Stop worrying about trying to touch the walls and start worrying about how you can live in this box
