I have the same approach. I think given how many smart, rational people I know say there is something to purging I'm inclined to try it once, but once I have that experience I think I'm likely to revert to thinking it's stockholm syndrome for long-term exploration / future trips.
- boppo1 4y agoI have not taken ayahuasca, but have vomited on acid. I believe your latter conclusion is correct. Psychedelics are overrated by those who take them.
- nikisweeting 4y agoI think psychedelics hit the salience receptor (5HT2A) and so everything experienced on them feels artificially meaningful. It takes unpacking and skepticism to figure out which experiences actually hold merit and which are noise. "Enhanced meaningfulness" is a useful tool if that's what you're lacking in your life, but a dangerous one if you let it inflate every idea you have while impaired. This is why I like dissociatives more, they don't artificially inflate the sense of meaningfulness and don't tank your working memory so you can explore deeper and wider with more skepticism during the trip. If only MXE still existed...
- xs83 4y agoI disagree, I love both disassociatives and Hallucinogenics, they are entirely different beasts though. I love the alien / earthbound feeling of things like DMT, Mushrooms, Acid, 2-Cx, it feels...natural to be in that state, I also love how quickly things can go south on them purely as a function of your own mind deciding it wants to be a prick. Disassociatives like Ketamine are totally different, in some ways more profound (and the shorter time of action is a big draw) but I cant say I "Love" them but finishing a night on them is an experience everyone should try if they are interested in exploring their mind and ego-death.
