From the Ayuhausca to other drug experiences on this forum to many of the other experiences I've read, I would say I am just a newbie in this world of psychedelics, and my reasons for doing them are not quite as good as other people's. Thank you for the critism Art, because you're right, this isn't a dick measuring contest, but to me I would say that is the petty reason I do it... Just to be able to say I've gone this far or done that thing, perhaps I'm just a petty person.

Why, if you are so inclined to tell me, do you do psychedelics? I'd really like to know because I've been thinking for the last couple of months, and I honestly don't have a very good reason as to why I do mine, the closest thing to it being self destruction to the point where hopefully I find a reason to stop on this path of self destruction...

Constantly I feel trapped by the system we have in this world, grow up, go to school, go to college, go to grad school, get a 9 to 5 job, drink on the weekends to forget about your 9 to 5 job on your 9 to 5 schedule

Whats the point of it all? Sometimes I feel like a hamster spinning on a wheel to escape from that wheel. And that wheel is the system of debt we have in the united states. Many people would say I am a generous and kind person, but this still saddens me because to be nice in the land of money is to be ignorant to the wasteland that is the rest of the world. I come from a third world country and it saddens me to think how insignificant my actions are as to help the actual world. But hey, I still try, helping one person at a time is still progress, but it feels like slow, unmoving, progress to me. Especially if I am helping someone with clothes on their backs and food in their stomachs as well as their refrigerators. I've been privileged to read and listen to educated and enlightened people, the tibetan book of the dead and dying, Ram Dass's Here and Now, listened to many Alan Watts lectures, hell i've even read the holy books of the Quran and the Bible, and countless other things as to develop some sort of critical thought, but nothing answers the question of why there is so much suffering in this world, and why the system is setup so its so hard to do anything about it...
