a peer's dilemma.

Migrated topic.

A friend of mine wants to do DMT and Ayahuasca, she has never done either, but has been aquinted with (very weak from her descriptions) LSD.

I have done ayahuasca, and at the time I was very confused about life, I stupidly did it in a childish manner, with no pre-thought except that I wanted to be healed without trying.

That was two and a half years ago, and I have grown much since then. I have not attempted ayahuasca again, and will not for some time, however DMT seems to be the cure for my seasonal anxiety (worth writing a book about!).

This is the problem though, said peer or friend has recently taken a small amount of LSD and a small amount of mushrooms. Both times she has indicated to me that it was a very negative feeling, and that afterwords she is going to quit drugs and focus on his connection to the church, and to school.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing at all, however I feel as if she is simply hiding something very deep inside that I don't know about. She seems on edge sometimes when speaking about psychadelics, as if she wants to talk about them, but feels anxiety simply by the words. I feel as if she is simply looking to trip, without realizing it has immense implications.

I have told her my .02 cents, and she has listened, she agrees, but doesn't realize what I am saying.

I have told her to meditate, and I think that is the best advice I have given her so far, but I am wondering, should I be blunt, and tell her I don't think she is right to use psychadelics in this state of mind? Should I simply trip sit her (I will not allow her to take ayahuasca) and guide her? Or should I let her be, and let her figure out her own problems?

I have a feeling I am the only one she talks to about psychodelics, and that if I quit speaking to her, she will learn on her own the hard way, but if I encourage her to use them as healing tools she will simply run in circles, never getting anywhere.

I suppose sitting down and talking to her for a long time may be good, but I don't know if my opinions are even correct to be pushed on her, I do not feel as if I should play a shaman as of yet.
 
Well..there is really nothing easy about this path..

And thats just it..people get the idea that psychedelics are like instant enlightenment..not realizing that illumination requires one to look at THEMSELVES first and foremost..

People are afraid to let go of the things that make them tick..the things that drive them to do the things that they do..for better or worse..they are afraid of loosing the categorizations to the moment..

Looking in the mirror is never easy..and for many people it's a painful and percieved negative thing to have to do..

Its just not the "shortcut" that people think it is..they end up in deeper water than they decided to swim in..and it scares them and they come back cursing the experience.

If people take psychedelics thinking its going to be all happy colors and bliss, and reinforce some ghandi complex they seem to have..you can bet they wont like it when they really do fall into self realization..
 
Truth. Also, I would suggest high doses of LSD or mushrooms before low doses. Blasts straight through any personal "issues" and start at the source.
