@jj-adams saidWorst I ever did was that white paste in kindergarten. I personally have never touched any cigarette (cigar on hunting trips to be cool!) nor, as it would follow, any weed or drug stuff.
Did it have a good or bad effect on you?
Did it make you a better person? More spiritual? More aware?
So, I guess I will just see what you fellers did and how it affected you.
@jj-adams saidYes and no I do not think so, but I had a few really good weekends in the early to mid 70s.

Mushrooms are supposed to be good for depression and anxiety if you know what you are doing with them.
Not in the 60’s.
LSD didn’t agree with me. My brain kept fighting the sensation.
Same with mushrooms.
And not once have I met anyone who’s said that their tripping was a life-changing experience who wasn’t a pretentious arse.
“Ooohhh… I opened my third eye…”
Oh? Really? You have a third eye, do you? Or maybe it’s just fukking brain damage. Moron.
Well, maybe my cynical hatred of mankind is the reason acid didn’t change my life for me…
@JJ-Adams
Yes, in the 1970s. It was life-changing but not in any smarmy Carlos-Casteneda way; more in the sense that I came to realize that hallucinogenics were not a path of spiritual awakening for me. I found it to be a purely sensory experience which tended rather to distract from more important issues. It did make me think long and hard about what criteria might be applicable to distinguish hallucinations from veridical perceptions, and in that sense stimulated epistemological reflections which are still relevant to my thinking today.
I quit after about four trips.
@jj-adams saidLSD a few times and mushrooms once in the 80s.

Preferred the mushrooms experience I think, probably because we were outdoors, trudging around Glastonbury Tor on a warm star-filled night. Quite an amazing experience actually.
Not spiritual in slightest, into music and nature.
It does your head in though and I’d never touch it again.
