If someone asks you why you take psychedelics, just say...

[buffachino]

... I take psychedelics for the same reason you tell someone you love them.

You dont need to hear it, and you dont need to say it, but in doing so it makes the experience of love all the more real.

Peace.

...because there is instinct and fear.

To Kick my Ego's ass.. :lol:

 

[????????]

In Leary's words: fun, sensuous enjoyment, esthetic pleasure, interpersonal closeness, pure experience

 

[Meduzz]

to experience mystery, fear and wonder, awe, respect, happiness, sadness, joy and horror al in just one afternoon :wink:

it's indeed all about the experience

 

[Forkbender]

all of the above.

as a medicine to happyness and understanding in this fucked up world.

 

[Roeligan]

.. to study the normally hidden thinking processes and brain machinery at work

 

[Forkbender]

For hedonistic purposes.

(being the only reason most people can understand).

Then I try to explain how being dragged through a bottomless pit in hell for 6 hours and then ending up in heaven as you feel the regenerative power of the soul counts as hedonistic. Without much success.

To answer that, I'd like to quote a line from 'The Matrix'

Agent Smith: " Why do you do it, Mister Anderson, why "?

Neo- " Because...I...choose...to "

Alexander Shulgin:

"Have you seen the Matrix?"

(yeah!)

"Cool, and the movie?"

(all of the above btw )

 

[Meduzz]

we all see the matrix, and take psychedelics to see beyond :wink:
