kalmia Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I know Stefan hasn't tried psychedelics, but since he has done dream evaluations, I would be curious to hear him try to do a psychedelic trip evaluation.
Guest darkskyabove Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Have you ever tried a hallucinogenic? If not, shut the hell up. If so, how about relating your experiences before fantasizing about someone else doing something which you haven't explained a good reason for doing. And yes, I have. Numerous times. Lysergic acid diethylamide-25 and psilocybin. These substances are not a toy. As in, ooh, wouldn't it be cool to drop some vitamin-L. Or, hey, let's do some 'shrooms. Simply put, why don't you explain why Stefan, or anyone else, should experiment with mind-altering chemicals? (This goes for the OP of the other current thread, also.)
Josh F Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Darksky, I dont think you're addressing the right person or topic. This person did not recommend Stef do psychadelics, that was another person in another topic.

I went aggressive in the other thread, too, but, hopefully, cleared the air a bit.
PatrickC Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 I feel some of your frustrations darksky.. You're like Batman that floats in unexpected like, to give the occasional KAPOW!
steve_ Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 It would be very easy to pick apart some of the nuttier ones; lawd knows there's many. Picking apart some of what someone like Alan Watts says would be interesting, though. Stef's video on drugs was really great. I remember the first time I watched it having a different reaction than the 2nd; I think I either knew Stef better and so knew to give him more respect and to actually listen to what he was saying, or I just got better at receiving and deciphering arguments all together - It was probably a bit of both. At any rate, I think he mentioned some of the more in-depth reactions people have with psychedelics, the other dimensions and entities that people report to have come into contact with, but in my experience with small doses of psilocybin it has just a case of making your brain work a little different which gives you a different perspective on things, relatable to how you may feel social situations are easier after drinking alcohol. I believe there's been studies done that show psilocybin having similar effects on the brain to deep meditation, which might account for people reporting an improvement in their personality and feeling of well-being.
