Despite being intensely skeptical of anything veering towards association as causation, I have always insisted that a psilocybin trip when I was 20 years old was overwhelming responsible for a series of achievements and positive changes in my life in the years following.
My lack of words or explanation for this has left me embarrassed to talk about it. Seeing these studies is bringing up a lot of dormant curiosity.
- jrnichols 9y agoMy anecdotal and totally non scientific experience about 6 months ago with psilocybin is similar to yours, i suspect. A positive trip completely changed my outlook on.. well, everything. It's almost as if I see everything in a different light. Instead of being pessimistic and negative about things (by things, I mean pretty much everything under the sun) I just feel hopeful and positive and thankful instead. I really cannot find enough words to describe how much better I have been feeling. How long will it last? I don't know. While it lasts, I have at least been dealing with things better. It really is hard to explain. But I think you might know how I feel.
- b6 9y ago> My lack of words or explanation for this I wouldn't feel bad about this at all. I'm comfortable that there are many very important things that can be understood but cannot be conveyed to others using language. You can tell someone the capital of France, but not what it was like when your child was born, maybe because one is a concept and the other is an experience. I've had a lot of indescribable but very valuable experiences too (LSD).
