There is a lot of ignorance in this thread. I have never done DMT, but at some point I will be doing it.
Our culture has conditioned everyone to lump all drugs into one category of bad. I believed all the cultural shit about Pyschadelic drugs for a while. I assumed that they fucked up your head and that they jeopardized your future.
However, what psychadelic drugs do is throw you into introversion. At least that is what they have done for me. These type of drugs take you out of your own little world and show you the bigger picture of everything. I have learned a lot about myself and culture in which we live through smoking weed and the occasional shroom trip.
We all get caught up in our own little lives and our own little realities. We clear a little patch of ground and cling on to it for comfort. For example, I identify myself as a quiet person, who likes to ski, has a hard time socializing, thinks negatively often, and hopes to own a company. Throughout all of our lives, we get caught up in the appearance of ourselves and our ego. We begin to identify ourselves in how exactly we fit into the world.
What psychadelics do is take you out of this little world. Your perception is altered in such a way that you look at trees differently, you look at people differently, you understand your own world better, and you see straight through the bullshit.
As I said, I used to be extremely conditoned to fear these drugs and look down upon people who use them. After my own experiences though, I am all for pyschadelic drug use. It is immediate therapy for yourself. I understand my own life better and the world itself better after doing looking at life through the different lenses that these drugs show you.
What these drugs have shown me is that reality is completely what you make it. Life is in the art of perception. What I mean by this is that if you think you can't do something and your down about a girl, its your head that's creating these problems. You have the option to not worry about the girl and think that you can do something. Life is all how you perceive it. If you can understand this fact, it gives you such piece of mind. I have arrived at this conclusion. My outlook on life and the way I see things has improved so much since my younger years and its all attributable to drugs.
To those of you saying drugs are for losers yada yada yada, its compete bullshit. One of my favorite quotes in regards to psychadelics is "Pyschadelic drugs use causes psychotic behavior in people who haven't taken them."
Do your own research on this subject matter and make your own decisions. Don't let the culture, your friends, or your parents tell you otherwise.
