Tripping parents ???

[Tello89]

So I was curious how many of.you are parents? Has tripping changed from when before you were parents? I have a 3 year old girl and a 3 week old girl, I have not tripped in 8 years and got a hold of some mushrooms and I'm waiting (maybe procrastinating) for the "right" time to eat some. Being a father has been the biggest thing that has ever happened to me so I guess I'm wondering how much that will change my entheogenic journeys ? Just wanted to know what other parents here have to say about tripping pre/post parenting.

Thanks one love

Hi Tello,

I have 2 kids (11 months and 8 years) and to me 2 things have drastically changed since I am a father:

1) Finding the time to trip! Real bummer but before being a parent I could basically do it every weekend and now it's more like once a year

2) Letting go! When going deep I always get feelings of guilt about letting my kids alone when I'm dying, leaving this world. If find the responsibility that comes with being a parent doesn't make it easier.

The one psychedelic I find issue with using as a parent is vaped DMT. It's the only one I have "oh, I broke myself...the kids are going to have to visit in the asylum" moments with. Makes it hard to go back in. :|

All the others are basically the same as pre-kids, except that I had a very long break from psychs (early or mid 20's until mid-30's), so the comparison is somewhat skewed as a lot changes in that much time.


btw...Congratulations on the new baby!

Young kids are basically tripping all the time in a way...

There's nothing wrong with tripping a bit less frequently.

And if you're sensible, tripping as a parent is an amazing thing... so I'm told

Psychedelics have been an important catalyst in becomeing the father I am today.
These tools help understand relationships and what an important relationship to understand.
The connection between offspring and parents is the strongest.

I like this comment and I think that I agree. Children in fact give me a contact high.

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated I agree that raising Kids is trippy in itself... I think that I maybe need to go into the trip wanting to be a better dad after never really thought of it that way :? (thanks third eye) thanks to everyone who replied!


Many blessings & one love
