3rdI said:good skills:thumb_up:, i lived with an alcoholic for many years and it aint fun to be or to witness, if i ever thought i was close to becoming one i would make very quick steps to destroy the inclination.
I hope you keep this up

i think this attitude will serve you wellI haven't ruled out drinking entirely - weddings etc will mean I crack out the booze - but drinking without purpose has been ruled out![]()
Just felt it was worth clarifying so you knew I wasn't having whiskey with my corn flakes! Thanks for the support - I intend to keep it up :thumb_up:Tattvamasi said:People are inclined to do whatever they feel like with any given substance, really, whether it be alcohol, DMT, coffee, etc.
I tend to feel along the lines of Nick Sand on the issue on 'use of DMT': his "Moving into The Scared World of DMT" and "Wee Bit more About DMT". Both highly recommended reads.

A very common delusion in those with paranoid or disorganized psychotic disorders is a belief that people on television or movies are somehow communicating with them directly, or that they are connected in some deep, emotional way.
The fact that the poster claims to have fallen in love with the actress and maintained this emotional connection after the experience ended is...concerning.
The difference is the parties involved. On a neurological level, you're probably right. My religious experience of ego death on magic mushrooms probably isn't all that different from someone who watches the news on acid and 'realizes' that Barrack Obama is a lizard man in disguise.hug46 said:Nathanial.Dread said:That is *classic* psychotic behavior.obliguhl said:There are unusual ways to experience DMT (NSFW)

The same argument could be used to describe someone as having a psychotic disorder if, once their psychedelic experience has ended, they continue to have an emotional connection to shared consciousness, a continued feeling that love is the meaning of everything, a direct communication with their environment etc etc. I guess some psychotic disorders are more beneficial than others.
I would be more concerned if the poster in that thread had fallen in love and maintained an emotional connection to the actress without having taken drugs.

I mean, by standard, medical definitions, almost everyone here probably qualifies as 'sick in the head.' Depends really on how you're defining 'sickness.'obliguhl said:The fact that the poster claims to have fallen in love with the actress and maintained this emotional connection after the experience ended is...concerning.
I don't find it concerning at all.
Through the act of a series of coincidences he was able to watch this intimiate sexual act, and noticed how priviledged he was to be able to experience such beauty. The bond between him and the actress stands as a symbol for that, and the communication that happened between the two.
Now that he has come down, he still associates her face with this tremendous feeling of love. It is just anchoring. I've got a song, each time i listen to it i almost cry because i heard it on dmt. Would you say im sick in the head too ?
When Kanazawa analyzed data on UK children, he found that link. Drawing on the results of the National Child Development Study, which tracked for 50 years all British babies born during one week in March 1958, Kanazawa found that kids who scored higher on IQ tests grew up to drink larger quantities of alcohol on a more regular basis than their less intelligent peers. He evaluated other factors, including religion, frequency of church attendance, social class, parents’ education and self-reported satisfaction with life, and found that intelligence before age 16 was second only to gender in predicting alcohol consumption at age 23.
