Have you ever experienced psychedelics?The best was when I took a load of edibles this one time, had this strange depersonalisation effect on me and it was the first time I felt love for myself in god knows how long; the whole thing was an indescribable experience. Felt like I wasn't even myself anymore, as if I was someone else looking at my own life, understanding where I'm going wrong and just feeling complete love for myself. Didn't care about any of my faults and just loved myself for who I am, just happy to be alive. God I wish I could feel that again.
I can remember shortly after that when I was withdrawing from chronic cannabis usage I got these mood swings - some days I'd feel so depressed I'd be in physical pain and others I'd be so happy. On one occasion the mood swing was so strong it felt like I was actually high on some sort of drug, I had a massive rush of euphoria that lasted hours and when it peaked I felt like I was a god. I just felt happy to be alive and breathing on this planet for once. Never felt like that before and haven't felt like that since.
So yeah I'd say either one of those was the best feeling I've ever experienced.
No, but it's certainly something I'd like to do. I've been drawn to DMT as it sounds really hard hitting and lasts just 15 minutes but I just never got around to it, although I should probs start with LSD or shrooms first. In the UK they've been running psilocybin trails as a method to treat depression which I've found very interesting. The results seem to be positive.Have you ever experienced psychedelics?

I absolutely will. It's one of the few things I don't want to miss out on.Please have a psychedelic experience before you make the decision to leave.
I have always wanted to try it. If I had a source, I'd be on it like white on rice.Using ecstasy. It was pure bliss.
Some of the bad trips I've heard of scare me though. I wonder if an antipsychotic on hand as a fail-safe might help.Please have a psychedelic experience before you make the decision to leave.
I know what you meant, but cannabis actually is a mild psychedelic. For anyone reading.Have you ever experienced psychedelics?
