I’ve probably tripped around 20 times throughout my life. I did it mostly because I bought into the idea that psychedelics would improve my life and habits in some way. I don’t believe that anymore, and I don’t think psychs really changed my life at all except it gave me lots of cool memories. I kind of feel some level of nostalgia for that reality-bending feeling of being on psychs, even though the last time I took it was only a couple months ago. It’s just so different from everyday experience.
I feel like psychs definitely have improved my life and habits, but not in the ways that I expected. It definitely didn’t make me more well-suited to existing in a capitalist society, if anything it made me less ambitious and motivated, but did incredibly improve my interpersonal interactions and my emotional regulation. I feel like I’m much more ‘at peace’ than I used to be. That said, everyone’s experience will vary, and it depends how you use and approach them as well.
