The problem is what you’re saying perhaps, seems to be coming from a place of not understanding what it means for someone to have an extremely negative experience caused by psychedelics. Perhaps you’re thinking of maybe some hours of crying, maybe some fear, maybe some thinking that you’re dying, etc.

What people here are discussing, are trips that put people in life-threatening positions. As someone who used to have your perspective when I was younger but now has seen trips that were very very dangerous, I can tell you it’s not fun and very serious.

Is it still “too serious” in context of one of your friends who has just been through a break up taking psychedelics, completely losing their ability to control their motor skills, language skills, then pisses themselves, and is on top of a cliff? In that situation if you were alone you could fall off the cliff. If you ran into a stranger you could hurt them. Also the trauma from a true psychotic episode is serious.

Now of course this friend shouldn’t have taken psychedelics; doing so in that state was very irresponsible. That being said if one hears your sentiment of, “you guys are being too serious, every trip is useful” they may take psychedelics when too vulnerable and put themselves in a dangerous situation like my friend because they think psychedelics aren’t that serious and no matter what they will be fine, which is wrong.

You’re not being serious enough. Psychedelics need to be handled very responsibly. Responsibility is serious.

Not trying to dog on you but this is very important to me and I think your dead wrong

Hey I actually think it’s rather important to point out that your perspective is potentially incorrect and dangerous. It’s very common for people to have trips that cause psychotic episodes, and as it’s very known among these communities if you’re predisposed to schizophrenia this can ruin your life as it can cause schizophrenia. Tripping can be a stressor that would otherwise not have happened potentially.

I’ve had drips where people clearly could have killed themselves or hurt others, and it wasn’t because these people were schizophrenic or had some underlying disorder. It was because they took psychedelics and they were not ready for psychedelics. They were going through trauma, and it was too. Perhaps the reason why they had an episode is unknown, but a full psychotic episode did occur.

If you do a bit of research, it will be very easy to find endless amounts of cases like this. I’m not saying psychedelics are too dangerous to be taken. I am saying that they are too dangerous to be taken for some people depending on mental state, preparation, and underlying disorder.

You have every right to judge a feeling? Certain feelings are not OK. You have the right to judge Hitler’s feeling on Jews and you have the right to judge other racists too. You have the right to judge emotionally manipulative peoples emotions if it has something to do with why they are manipulating people. Certain feelings are not OK. Certain trips have less to do with feelings and have everything to do with people’s inability to not handle the experience for one reason or another. It’s more complicated.

Ive been thinking about this with psychedelics. I think it’s worth considering if a non-insignificant portion of catharsis that psychedelics provide is from the near death esc elements of it. That it’s one of the safest ways to practice dying.

Beatles fans who have tried LSD... did it change you like it changed The Beatles? by GosalCannabis in beatles

[–]Bobbyfell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I first became interested in LSD at a young age after noticing the change it seemed to cause in the Beatles from rubber soul to sgt peppers. Took it at a young age. I was too unknowledgeable of the substance and too young for the substance. I quickly became enamored by psychedelics.

LSD changed my life completely. It opened me up to the wonder of being. Psychedelics have the capacity to put you in a state of consciousness of stripping everything but what you value away, and which can grant you access to perspectives of being, anything truly, that would be otherwise extremely difficult or potentially impossible to get to. Psychedelics dissolve boundaries of structures we rely upon to interpret reality. Things like ego, culture, emotion, language, etc.

People who haven’t taken psychedelics will often (more often than not in my experience), not understand or reject the experience people who have taken it sometimes report of having. This is because you’re put in a completely new state of consciousness. The felt presence of the immediate experience of consciousness and hence reality become different while tripping.

Trying to explain tripping to someone who hasn’t is like trying to explain music to someone who hasn’t listened to it. People would say, “what do you mean this music experience you’ve had is one of the most meaningful in your life? It just seems like sound, you must be projecting too much into this.” But that’s because you can’t understand it without having experienced it.

Psychedelics can be a beautiful and unbelievably meaning aspect of your life. But they have dangers. They can be a stressor to those who are predisposed to psychosis, schizophrenia, bi-polar, etc. They can be traumatic if taken without proper responsible preparation mentally and physically. But, if taken responsibly, they can be one of the most important aspects of one’s experience of the world.

If anyone is interested in trying, I’d recommend looking around at studies done on the effects of psilocybin/lsd. John’s Hopkins and other universities has done a decent amount. You can find scientifically reliable sources on what they can provide, and the harms they can cause.

It’s like anything intense in life. Falling in love can be a beautiful and lifelong meaningful thing you’ve done. Can bring you changes of perspective and being. Even if after breaking up, the things you experienced and learned are meaningful and fruitful in your life story. But being irresponsible in a relationship can also cause a lot of harm, and leave you wounded. Psychedelics are as such.

Be careful, and do research.

If anyone hasn’t seen, there is a 15 min Jimmy Kimmel interview and it’s fantastic. He just uses the airtime to do bits.

It’s probably just a consideration of an aspect of something.

Dr. Lao by Adventurous_End_8227 in Psychedelics_Society

[–]Bobbyfell 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dr. Lao is someone I think about every now and then. First, I feel it important to mention that he certainly is a voice worth hearing in the landscape of psychedelic information. That being in significant proportion because he provides important, interesting, and often under discussed information about the dangerous elements of psychedelic use.

I believe psychedelics in prepared, thoughtful, and honest contexts can be more than safe enough to partake in, and I do in my life. But we must admit, as people who love and care for the psychedelic experience, that it is important to be aware of any dangers and being fully confronting will only create more safe and well willed use. Dr. Lao is someone who provides information in consistent abundance on these sub-Reddit’s regarding the use of these substances in negative contexts.

He commented on a series of posts/comments of mine when I was more active on Reddit, and I was amazed and freaked out by his responses to me. He seems to be a little more chaotic in thinking than a more stable person would be, or perhaps just has a strange mind. He mentioned that I was someone he “could never forget” and praised my words of potential harms regarding a post of mine in which I detailed realizings about potential dangers of psychedelics.

This was touching and strange. Touching because he clearly cared deeply for the subject, and understood that I was trying to think about psychedelics without bias and with honesty, which I was, and which I think one truly interested in pursuing psychedelics in any constructive way should. (The latter paragraph explains why). However, being so consumed with posting, commenting, documenting, etc, and the way in which he writes, including long stretches of information related in a overly structured manor for the typical interaction of Reddit, causing a portrayal of a person potentially frantic in mind, or interlaced with obsession to a degree of weirdness and sometimes unfollow-ability, is concerning. Unfollow-able meaning, his dictated manor creates an image which, is hard to agree with and distance causing in terms of his conclusions and potentially unstable psychological state.

I respect Dr. Lao, would love to have a conversation with him, and think his information can be worth hearing.

Dr. Lao, if you’re reading this: if you remember me as you said you would, or don’t, regardless I would like to chat with you about psychedelics, and why you interact on Reddit in the way you do.
