RE: Life is an Illegal, Drug-Induced Psychedelic Experience

in #psychology8 years ago

MDMA was originally used as couples therapy -- often referred to as months of therapy in one session. An old reddit thread comes to mind, where a war veteran suffering from treatment resistant PTSD found a solace in MDMA:

The war on drugs is a waste of time, money, and has created a body count larger than 9/11. It needs to end.

Have you experimented with DMT? If so, what were your experiences like?

Hey Daut, I tried DMT once and it was a pretty intense experience! But also quite a short one and although during the trip I was a bit freaked out, I'm still glad I did it - I've always been the type of person who wants to see for myself. One thing I found interesting about DMT was that afterwards I was able to remember it much more clearly than with other psychadelics I've used (perhaps because it didn't last as long?). There was more colour involved than I usually experience with LSD, as well as a strange effect on my hearing - kind of like the distance of sounds was all messed up. The closest thing I'd experienced before was the first time I tried philosopher's stone mushrooms in Amsterdam, but subsequent experiences with them were never quite as intense (as with most things in life, if I'm honest) so maybe the same thing will happen if I try DMT again. As with any new psychadelic, I'd definitely recommend being in a comfortable environment if you do decide to give it a go!
I'd also like to say thanks Sterlinluxan - really interesting to read about the similarities between serotonin, psilocybin and DMT. Cheers!
