Hi everyone!

Why do we know psychedelics are good? Because we have the knowledge and the experience to know it. Other people who don't use them are scared of them because of all the propaganda. We are passionates of drugs, so we spend hours reading tons of information about it, that's why we have this knowledge! People don't spend hours reading about things they have been taught are evil and must be avoided at all cost. The only way for changing the actual laws and ending the war on drug is changing the public opinion. And the only way to do this is education! And here WE can make a difference! We must try to educate the most people to the beneficial effects of psychedelics, and more generally to the lies about drugs and how prohibition is bad. I know it is hard to talk about things like that without people thinking you're a freak, but we can still do something! I have some friends that don't see anything more spiritual in shrooms than speed. I've done a few MDMA and shroom trips with them and I like to tell them some deep things I think about while I'm tripping and ask them questions to force them to make some reflexions, kind of trying to show them the real power of the substance. I think I succeeded in "converting" a guy into a psychonaut after a few MDMA trips we did together, just smoking and talking for hours :P But I doubt he will be doing things like K-hole or doses higher than 3.5g of shrooms or high doses of LSD. But I explained him what psychedelics were and made him realise that some substances are more than just drugs to have fun. He actually thinks I'm a bit crazy for planning to take 5g shrooms and for snorting enough ketamine at once to completely lose grasp with reality :lol: . Probably like a lot of the other people I told about those kind of things. But I actually think I'm a bit insane... but anyway I feel good with it and it's off topic. But it is possible to make people realise. Making them read some things about psychedelics can help a lot too. I don't remember if I had anything else to say, if so I will edit 8)
 
i've been educating people ever since my epiphany. however i have been educating starting to talk about high philosophy and "dry psychonautics" (as i like to call a drugless session ;P) then i slowly introduce the subject of drugs and Erowid (oh! what would i do without them?).
however people feel often uncomfortable with this. being pulled out o their thinking patterns and schemes and all. like pulling out new from the matrix, but much slower. the problem is that i can't find ethical to act like Morpheus and give them the choice of the red pill/blue pill and give them a rollercoaster ride out of the matrix...
excuse the figurative speech i couldn't be bothered to write a lengthy, fat, elaborated post.
 
The more you educate yourself, the more you see that we have been lied to by our government and/or authorities. It is a very touchy subject when it comes to discussing 'drugs' with individuals who truly believe they are bad. The government has them conditioned to take it offensive when you tell them 'drugs' are not bad at all. They are also conditioned to look at you as a 'bad person' if you use 'drugs', well at least most of the people I have incountered in my life. Some individuals just don't care whether they are legal or illegal. It is ignorance towards the subject. If only these individuals could see that they have been brainwashed, it is truly sad, because it is not their opinion, rather the opinion of authorities projected down upon him or her.

PEACE & LOVE

Stop focusing on the government and start focusing on yourself for a change. Don't put all your energy into seeing how others determine your life and take some responsibility. Stay positive and create something new instead of reacting on external voices. By reacting on 'them' you define yourself as being determined by others. 'Questioning authority' doesn't mean creating a mental image wherein the government aims at destroying your personal life. It means growing up, maturing, be your own authority.

that's the kind of post I had to read, it fits well to my situation of thoughts right now (i.e. I was focusing on something external). thanks fork.
