What good have mind altering drugs done you?

[Matthew Mussolini]

Its true drug abuse does more harm on average than good but part of that is because of how expensive and illegal drugs are.

Nobody ever wants to mention the good drugs do.

I'll get to explaining all the good things drugs have done for me later. For now it is rush hour which means I need to get to work as a certified vetran outdoor Twin Cities panhandling technician.

Chloroethane..

Some of these things were fleeting or negated by other drugs but there were at least points in time where drugs helped me :

• Enjoy dancing
• Become a better Guitar Player
• Overcome Sexual Hangups
• Become more open minded
• Diminish Social Anxiety

Opened my mind to more music genres

Made me understand the difference between having a crush and being in love.

Helped rid pointless insecurities

I believe MDMA and psilocybin at age 17 significantly contributed to increased social confidence that went beyond the actual drug effects

[Undies]

They altered my mind.

I had amazing sex on acid one time !

Marijuana cooled me out after 13 months in combat. LSD was immeasurably helpful in the healing process after those experiences. Psychedelics were part of what led me to a lifetime of service. In my 60s I learned how to really dance thanks to mdma. I hope to face death with assistance from these medicines.

hi thismoment very cool to hear about your Marijuana and LSD Psychedelics experiences : ) I'm now 38 going on 39 this Sept I've been enjoying awesome Marijuana for the past 2 decades it was around my mid 20s when I living in Richmond VA, USA where I had some fun stoner happy hippie friends who had some of the best quality strains of Marijuana varieties that I'd tried in my life + they also had access to Psychedelics such as magic shrooms and LSD I've tried shrooms around 5 times in my life and LSD around 3 times.
I had the best visual trips with LSD and shrooms I enjoyed that when I looked at any wood like wooden floor boards, wooden furniture it would start moving like a river : )
When I looked at my skin or other people's skin I could see all our veins and bones and it was very cool looking at my own art work it would come to life start moving like a 3D animation : )

These days the best drug I enjoy is good quality Marijuana it helps make my life more mellow & chillaxed ♥

I've found over many years of trying many strains of Marijuana (mj, weed, pot, 420, green etc) different strains of the qualities of weed will make me feel various levels of feeling mellow & chillaxed.
Some weed just makes me feel very sleepy whilst others it feels acts as a prompt to expand more my creative imaginative thoughts & feelings.

Since loosing my last job many months ago back in March 2020 and then having to endure surviving on financial benefits each month and not even being able to go out to buy more weed (because of all the strict lockdown restrictions) it made me over time reduce my craving desire to smoke weed.
The last time I managed to buy some weed was early Dec 2020 and I managed to make that last till around Christmas but overall I have thankfully made myself more disciplined in not craving desire to always have to have weed all the time.
Also before the horrible 2020 world pandemic crisis & strict lockdowns past few years when I've been working in many contractual (several months here & there) I'd be always paid weekly so it felt like I always had a lot of finanaces which was very tempting to always spend it on weed alot it's only now since loosing that last work and not being able to easily go & get more weed that I've thankfully managed to save alot more of my finances to have a stable future.

I will hopefully be working again end of Feb and I need to be very careful again when I'm out and about in the world not to start spending so much on weed and when I do buy it I need to try to do better at making it last longer.

Mushrooms gave me a sense of peace I didn't have before. It's like.. Something beamed into my brain "everything is okay" and it was nice. I feel like I gained understanding just by doing them. Like everything made sense. It was really nice. And I still get that way with shrooms, everything feels very matter of fact. Idk how to explain it lol
And mdma definitely helped open my heart. Just to know that I can feel those feelings, I needed that. We've talked amphetamines, I'm not a big fan. But those two drugs, life changing for suuuure

[thismoment]

Mushrooms helped in the grief process after my wife passed away seven years ago. About 6 months after her death I tripped with two guides and experienced a deeply healing birth experience - as in I was giving birth to my grief.

I have a lot of gratitude for psychedelics.

[boubindica]

MJ saved my life, but after many years I became psychologically addicted to it. I had to give it up. Which is cool because I’m not as sad as I used to be. And I’m no longer suicidal. I do enjoy the odd shmoke now and then but I still dare not buy any or I know I’d smoke the lot, just because I love being stoned.

Acid helped me realise I’m an ok person. DMT was a beautiful experience I’d definitely like to repeat one day. MDMA was pretty awesome too but I don’t think I’d do that again unless I wanted to party all night. Currently I don’t want to party all night. Salvia was an invitation to dive deeper but I chose not to so I did realise I have a little fear around some Otherworld beings (not the DMT ones). Not sure what the Salvia beings intent was. Maybe they’ll visit me again one day. I do know I’d really like to visit Mr. Toad when the opportunity arises.

[neonspectraltoast]

Salvia sounds scary.

[boubindica]

Yes Riddler, it seemed kinda scary. DMT is like tripping in the light and it’s warm, whereas Salvia is dark and cold. But I think one day I will be brave enough to revisit it and get taken down fully. They really wanted to show me something but I was so surprised at the strength of them it made me thank them but decline and jump up, snapping out of the visions.
