That's where the term "getting high" came from, entering a higher state of consciousness. People who haven't experimented with consciousness raising drugs often refer to people using such drugs as escaping from reality when, in fact, a raised consciousness gives one a better sense of reality.

Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychedelic and behavioral disorder.

After getting laughed at my whole life for saying this, it's bittersweet to hear it acknowledged.

You feel everything in your body literally everything. Think about feeling every single one of your hairs, your shirt and pants on your skin, the teeth in your mouth, and just things that you wouldn’t normally be bothered feeling. Its kinda scary but you gotta calm down and be one with yourself. It shows you things that you cant explain.

I once dropped acid and went to Six Flags over Texas. The Spelunker's Cave boat ride was a mind altering experience.

I've just come out of a 10 hour trip. It wasn't pleasant because I kept getting lost when I found out about the truth of who I am and what I'm doing here. I didn't want to forget but wanted to come back. I'm back now frightened but more at peace. I don't know why it took so long to sober up there's no way I took too much but I've just spent several eternities just to type this. Time is an illusion

Humanity is not supposed to wake up or reach higher states of consciousness. If they did, they would realize they are being used and manipulated on detrimental levels. Society is ran by mules. Miles for the great pretender

LSD is the greatest thing ever. It has absolutely changed my life for the better.

Why do all news broadcasters speak with the same tone inflections, stressed wording, common adjectives etc?

ketamine is *NOT* the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. That would be psilocybin and psilocin.

I took 3 times lsd this year and i gotta say by the thrid time i was able to control it, and when playing cod all the sudden i understood how to play.
Usually players just run around and act like rambo but for some reason i started acting like a real soldier which was clearing rooms using flash bags and aiming at the corners before peeking and all the sudden i had flawless games like really really food games. It was so surprising

Had lsd last full moon in India, on holiday, few friends in the desert, 35c overnight, what a trip, will never forget that night, trance tunes pumping .amazing experience 🙏

If you ever get the chance and have the experience, I recommend trying to work out on it. I had the opportunity to microdose while following a diet and supplement intake before and after working out on it. Got some amazing results and now I look at exercise a lot differently because of it. I don’t need it now to keep at my workouts going, and I’ve managed to keep the weight off.

Is this tje guy from the ted talk where the guys talks about reality being an illusion?

[King_David_]

I enjoy this drug. It's probably my favourite.

[gourbera]

Do you guys know what is consciousness? the definition? and what is higher level? how do you quantify higher level?

[stindianonthemoon]

Bill hicks would be very pleased with this story

[LarryP]

I'm captivated by the clarity and depth of this content. A book with comparable insights was a pivotal moment in my journey. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

[King_David_]

Higher level of consciousness. I agree.

Lsd and shrooms are nice, just dont mix with other substances and you will be fine
