Have you ever done psychedelics?
- nathan_compton 3y agoI've done psychedelics of many types and I find the so-called "insights" they offer to be banal in the extreme.
- chaps 3y agoNot exactly going to disagree with you there. Just felt it was an important question to ask considering the rigidity of their comment.
- nathan_compton 3y agoI'm not the original reply, by the way. I think psychedelics can be fun and extremely liberating/relaxing. But they have not given me any significant personal, scientific, literary or other insights.
- grugagag 3y agoI find that whatever insights, they’re personal. But their general effect humbling our egos. I find that to be of great use in a selfish narcissistic society we’re living in. I remember after having an LSD trip with good personal insights I got home and had cathartic session of sobbing. It felt absolutely great to do something I rarely do. Last time I did this was more than 15 years ago and feel that I’m still drawing some essence from this experience. Perhaps if I find myself stuck or at crossroads I’ll give it another go.
