Need help dealing with family

[VisualDistortion]

To address your first paragraph, fiashly, I had the spice with me because I was going to introduce a close friend and fellow psychonaught to it.

I also went through troubles about 6-7 years ago when I was an adolescent when I was using addicting and harmful drugs. I'm sure my family remembers those times and they fear a return to my scheming and dishonest ways. My parents used addictive and harmful drugs also for years and years and they finally kicked the habit sometime back. Along with those drugs they also used psychedelics. Yet they make no differentiation between addictive and harmful drugs and entheogens. How they do this is beyond me. I guess really it was their attitude towards any substance they used. Their attitude was always, "I wanna get high and fucked up and party". Be it coke, meth, alcohol, or LSD; that was their attitude. I guess the biggest gap between them and I is that I do not approach these substance with that attitude, and I think my approach to psychedelics is beyond their understanding. So I think I need to work hard to bridge that gap in understanding.

Remember it´s nothing more difficult than to change people´s minds. My parents are essentially antipsychedelic, but Your situation seems to be more complicated. As for start, I would tell Your parents DMT is just incomparably stronger LSD, :lol:.

Ahhh that makes sense. I am glad it is something like that. Deception and secretiveness do not go well with entheogens. Entheogens are about opening oneself to the sunlight of the spirit and sneaking around is counter to that purpose. I have made it a point to tell the people who I am closest to, and who I trust, about my entheogen use. I mean obviously my spouse knows about it, but I have also told all of my close friends as well as my mother. Honestly she would rather not hear about it so I don't bring it up anymore, but she has stopped by when I had caapi brewing on the stove and asked about it and I tell her the truth. I refuse to give it any dark energy to grow in secrecy, it just feels too much like my old dope using ways when it's like that. As I said in my other post, some people have not been receptive to it, some have predicted my return to heroin and crack. But as more and more time goes by, some have known about it for years now, they stop thinking that way. Their minds open a little and they see that the truth that they thought they understood isn't necessarily my truth. I think in the long run you will be fine, in the short run though it could be a little bit rough. Go straight into it though, face the conversation honestly and courageously and let the universe take care of the results.

Wow! I mean, wow!
:lol:
So You say You have made way from the opiates and metamphetamines up to psychedelics? Glad You made it here so far and be welcomed among us!

Things seemed to have turned out alright. Seems like it just took that extra week for my parents to chill. Although they are still worried and nervous. But I just want to thank you guys for all the good words.
