Why does everyone discount psychedelics as hippy nonsense...

>if you're smart, its in a good way, i.e., teach you to courageously live your life and explore all that there is in the world

YEAH DUDE #WOKE, READ A BOOK.
Go back to /b/ or wherever you came from.

i said parrot because all you acid heads sound the same but your're right, its not the proper usage

though i could kinda say you are parroting the thoughts 5g mushrooms put in your head

except most people who do drugs dont end up well

So for all its worth in the moment i guess is fine for you but give people a chance to figure out if that is the life for them before chemically skullfucking them into thinking it like you are.

>except most people who do drugs dont end up well

I'm just so sick of stereotypes and fallacious generalizations being spewed constantly regarding this topic. There are tons of different drugs and some of them are life crippling, whereas some of them are life fulfilling. Why is that so hard to comprehend? Why do you people even use the broad term "drugs"? The majority of people in the world use drugs regularly and are fine. It's just that they use certain drugs we don't consider to be "drug drugs" because their effects are less noticeable.

this!

Tylenol is a drug too that other guy is a a total idiot. Smoke meth daily mih niggas

Is being on drugs really altering your consciousness? I'm skeptical. Your consciousness is not your feelings and thoughts, those are like clouds in the sky. Your consciousness is your sense of awareness, or "I am"-ness. I've never taken drugs so I don't know, but do they really affect anything besides your sensory input, emotions, etc?

...In this world

The bulk of the human population can be viewed as herd animals. Everything you've stated should be common sense, but people are poor at building coherent frameworks of knowledge, pursuing truth for themselves with any intellectual honesty, and properly integrating available data. Strictly empirical and otherwise. They must be put in a social ecology where they are consistently "told" to have this change. Though often if it doesn't begin early, they will simply remain quiet or leave, to find comfort elsewhere. And they will find it.

Consciousness is likely strictly mechanical. What does that actually mean? We don't know. We don't know what is behind the underlying logic that drives the universe, if it's self contained, if perhaps every given system whether micro or magic, you or a pile of rocks, is not having its memory harvested and used by something. Memory is simply state. The universe is a state machine. There is nothing but state. Heraclitus, Parmenides, and Democritus were ultimately saying the same things from different angles.

>micro or magic
micro or macro*

Lots of non-intellectual people can't close their minds a bit and become skeptical of nonsense. Lots of intellectual people can't open their minds a bit and become rational regarding topics that are often associated with nonsense. It doesn't matter if psychedelics are associated with hippies and druggies - you should look at them rationally, scientifically, and philosophically.

But intellectual people often fail to do so because they immediately assume that psychedelics are in the "astrology, hand reading, mysticism" group of topics - and they are in some senses, but they also are not when you put that all aside and look at them for what they are.
