I’ve been following this stuff since the mid 90s and am familiar with the terminology.
What do you assert is the difference between a psychedelic experience and a hallucinogenic experience then? Dissociative I agree only partially overlaps with psychedelic on a venn diagram but hallucinogen and psychedelic I understand as synonymous.
- bluntfang 6y agoHallucinations are pretty concretely defined, medically. Seeing stuff that isn't there. Hearing stuff that isn't there. Things moving when they aren't. For me, the psychedelic experience is more about the "Ah hah! we're all in this together! We're all the same thing! I've removed the veil and barriers I've built up all my life and can finally see clearly what it's All About." I'm sure it's different for others, but I don't experience that "oneness" or "connection" on dissociative. It feels like I am born again, free to be vulnerable and experience the world without the lenses that society and myself have placed over my eyes.
- ricopags 6y agoI think the term there is "entheogenic" a la DMT: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ep4dxk/its-official-dmt-makes-you-believe-in-god https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/ep4dxk/its-official-dmt-m...
