Hello all!

First of all i think of myself as still a relative young guy, maybe say i'm still on my 1/4 of life, but i have already made some really good progress's in my opinion, but... i'm still young! and have much to learn and improve in myself :roll:

So from when I was a child I always had an interest for the hippie time, but not really knowing the full spectrum of this movement or it's beliefs, its just something about nature it self that I wanted!
Yes indeed i liked nature, but there were some dishonest in this thinking because I didn't threat animals at the same level of other animals(humans), i only though " oh its pretty lets play with it", sometimes hurting them and bullying them perhaps. Maybe this was a manifestation of the bullying infected in me in school... oh those idiots that know nothing about respect...I channelled that fury i had inside my through exercise in the body and i turned much more calm on that aspect.

In my grow I then learn to fully respect nature, not only by the hurting/annoy of domestic animals, but by not pollute and not killing small animals that in fact they're in their home!
With this i now had respect to give! but did i receive respect? hmmm till some time ago i even though that not believing the words of the next one, the ones I socialise with and meet, was indeed a form of disrespectfulness, weeeell not quite so! Indeed i learn from a kinda rough way that i must question the others and i must confront them with their attitudes and beliefs, not only to safe guard myself but to even improve the life of close ones, make them realise that they could be better with their thinking and their life in general.
Now to talk about my interest in mind altering substances! :d
I began to experiment with alcohol when i was 14/15, with some taste of Black Eristoff with passion fruit! yumii :roll: and the alcohol continued till i was 16/17 but only in party moods! I liked it because it made me more comfortable with the ones around me.
Why did the alcohol stop? well i started to smoke hash! and that made me like " wooohaaa alcohol compared to this is truly shit man!",then from hash to weed, and smoking what i say today Huuge amounts of weed that really wasn't justified! why the heal smoke 30g on a night??? it made me go to the catacombs of my brain! really didn't enjoyed it, it was like nothing existed... pure darkness...
The heavy use of smokes started reveal on my consciousness and brain, i left hash, it was doing no good to me! making me feel unsocial and to lazy, like i wanted to do something but at the same time i didn't want to make it, it was like a war in my brain.
from then on I only smoked weed in not so bit quantities! :) but tobacco came in to substitute the every day smoking i was messing with the left of hash.

I always liked apple computers and products, when i watched a episode of Diggnation that Kevin Rose was talking about the Steve Jobs( SJ ) Biography and he commenting on the fact that SJ said LSD was one of the most important things in his life, i knew that moment i really needed to try it!
My journeys with LSD have been amazing and mind revealing! i have already discovered so much because of it. It has interested me in so many thematics that i previously I never had any interest thus making me a more cultural person and more activity in the day to day life. One of which is Buddhism, it really sounds good to me now.
I'm performing some changes in my habits like the language and way i talk between me and some specific people in my life, detox of tobacco and coffee.
which i would like your opinion...Coffee, do you think it is good to leave it your to continue use it? I have a strange feel on coffee and dont' know what to really think on it.

I'm on a artistic school and i work both the computer part and the hands on. I like pretty much everything that i can play with, more on the sector of graphical, image is my area!
I have some drawings that i will someday post in here to see the feedback and some advices from you guys until then i will still continue the develop my abilities and express myself better through disincorporation of the drawing material 😁
well thats about it, there are many things left to talk but i dont feel like writing more! sorry about that xDD
 
Welcome to the most amazing entheogen community on the web!

About the coffee use, i personally feel every substance has some use, as long as that use is not abuse. I very much feel you on your weed/hash haze, been there and it was almost like i was living for cannabanoids. I can honestly say i was mentally addicted hardcore. However, from what i learned from first hand experience with my living-high experience, and how it has changed me, im very glad that it has happened and has really helped me to look at things differently; almost like realizing that every bad could turn to good? Haha a bit corny i guess

Peace
 
Thanks for the welcoming!

Yes I think like that too but I feel I will be better without the coffee for some reason...maybe because i kinda want all energy thats in me to be natural and not like a boost, so I don't have like spikes in my day and have a more linear like energy income/outcome.

Naah i don't think it is corny at all! xD I too I'm glad of the past I had and I wouldn't change it because I am who I am because of who I was, as I'm happy now i don't need anything from the past.( of course the lessons it gave me are in me, but thats part of the present, not past).
Weed and hash in general didn't do much for me in the long run, at least that I recognise being from it, I still like to smoke a bit of weed to relax, but I will only use it when I'm off the beach and see the sunset in the most tranquil way possible! :d
The part of bad turning into good i really saw with LSD, had some fantastic experiences, one of which contributed to this aspected, was in the summer where I spent the night looking to the completely starry sky, no clouds at all, a deep purple with so many but some manyy points, like it was full of stars but in a different way, its one of that things I cant' explain :roll: however the sky was so full of information! it was one alarming journey for me.

The other was in a friends house where i was lying, listening to many kinds of music but all important to me and I started by "playing" with the concept of my self, by this I mean like in the ego death way(which i didn't know at that moment what it was), and in an uncontrolled way I started to go through tunnel after tunnel of psychedelic patterns and after so much tunnel vision, so much closed environment I arrived into a place that was so vast, so open, so free! I remember talking with my friends that the idea of internet was so but so old...
That was the moment i saw we are all connect, what connects us i don't know, I didn't saw a human shape so maybe not God, i remember seeing a more like chest or vault shape.
Thus with this year of LSD i began to perform better in school, I don't look at it like it is something boring to do, of course its better than doing nothing! so when i get a work/exercise proposal i think to my self " What can i do with this that i can get joy out of it? how can i play with it? " so an apparently bad work proposal can actually turn into something wonderful!

I feel what you are saying, ive somewhat recently saw some very informational and meaningful videos about a whole foods and vegetables diet (even though its more of a life), and just centering on nature for your daily needs (permaculture design) and nature helps with the not-daily needs also. However previously i was into psychology very intently and one thing i can say, is that any substance, more specifically nature based substances, act on the neurotransmitters that are already there. So my point i guess is that to me its not really an artificial boost; and most certainly not unnatural, to an extent, as i also believe plants are aware, in a sense, and have wisdom to offer.
Also i have got into reading and watching videos about buddhism and hinduism. I generally read more, like the bhagavad gita, or the yoga sutras, or the dhammapada (basically VERY old sacred texts), and have found them oddly and intensly meaningful; i have also noticed these books referencing many plant-substances that produce effects that they use as tools, but not at all in a dependant way.

As for the cannabanoids, for pretty much 4 years straight (nothing before that), it has been my almost only psychotropic substance i could use, or abuse. It was also very high quality sensi and hash oils. I was defenatly dependant, i would have between 5-10 seshs a day. What i meant in my earlier post, was that after i could say no to weed temptation steadily, i could say no to alot more than the weed temptation.

I wish i had come across some quality lsd, but sadly no. Just a bit of insane salvia, and a few psilly mushies here and there; however i am very hopeful for the near future in my entheogen use.
 
So my point i guess is that to me its not really an artificial boost; and most certainly not unnatural, to an extent, as i also believe plants are aware, in a sense, and have wisdom to offer.

Indeed! when i said natural it wasn't really the best choice of the word. I really like coffee and sugar because they give that boost that is unstoppable, the chocolate for example is a boost that when is gone it's fine and i even sleep and awake up very well but with coffee i feel it doesn't leet you sleep properly, not the falling asleep part but the sleep where you're unconscious.

Ye buddism really got my eye, gotta see what hinduism is about! ^^ could you link me some documentaries or some sort of institutional videos worth watching?

For me it was quite easy to leave/downgrade my usage of hash and weed, now that i'm leaving tobacco is way more difficult because it's not only in the mind but the body too while weed is only in the mind. What helped me workout my mind in that factor was working out the body/bodybuilding, when you workout you have to always jump to the next step, always improving yourself, amazing thing when you can transfer that characteristic to other day to day activities!

The LSD time will come for you, don't worry xD The next thing I want to try is magic mushrooms, i have the source...just not the time! 😉
 
Well i think the hinduism that ive looked into is pretty much just books. The videos were buddhist vids, so i dont really have a link for you:(
However, im 90% sure buddhism stemed from hinduism, and many if not all of the principles in buddhism is also in hinduism, except hinduism is about as metaphorical as one could get, id say. I see buddhism as very logical, while hinduism is almost as logical, yet still very creative. I think there are thousands of gods in hinduism (which i think is metaphors manifest in humans), yet in buddhism the only god is the infinite in all and/or nothing (i guess you could say that in about any spiritual practice, though)

About the coffee and sugar use; as you pointed out sugar is very stimulating, yet required as a macro nutrient for life, like fats and proteins.

I had a bit of a hard time with slowing down on weed. I would constantly find excuses to smoke. I would say i was about as mentally habituated as i could get, and a bit of physical dependance (ie i couldnt eat much or fall asleep without it). It definatly took its toll, but im glad i went through it. As you pretty much stated, who you are now depends on your past
 
(ie i couldnt eat much or fall asleep without it)
dam :surprised thats wicked, I have never gone that far!
I too for the first days of the slowing down would find excuses to smoke...until i found out that the problem was not in the excuses but in the reason why i wanted to stop smoking.

Well i think the hinduism that ive looked into is pretty much just books.
too bad i cant read on the computer, it gets my eyes pretty dam wrecked
 
Yea i smoked too much haha. I would barely get high also.

I have an iphone and theres an app called ibooks. I dont remember the last time i read a paper boook ha. Theres a few good netflix videos on buddhism, and "dmt the spirit molecule" is on netflix. "The buddha" is on netflix, its pretty great and theres a little bit about hinduism in their, mostly just saying siddhartha didnt feel happy with the relegion he grew up in, so be decided to find his own way. But theres a little more about hinduism in that movie
 
Already watched those two xD don't recall earring about hinduism... i was drawing while watching/earring the Buddha, maybe thats why :p gonna post some drawings i recently made in here in a couple minutes! :d

duuude, dont even talk about iPhone :cry: i had an ipod touch and it was stolen not long ago, like the past weekend....
so much time to acquire it, only 1 month in my hands.... oh well, only staid mad one day xD
 
hehehe xD i miss it! :roll:

so here it goes three drawings of mine, made recently!

In the first i blured the upper part because it may indicate who i am, because of the lettering and the language used, but basically it says : a bag full | of nothing

the second one is just some idea i had when i has tripping and i decided to immediately draw it, called it: Nietzsche;au!

and finally the one i'm currently working on :p

Wow

When i first saw it, I felt the first one applies to everyone, as we are all a mix of finite and infinite, something and nothing. Its very dichotomous; its meaningful to me, and quite a drawing

GL with the third! It looks like it will be interesting 8)

Edit: have you heard of alex gray?? Hes an artist also

Ye, I really like that one! one of those ideas that come when your almost asleep but you need to note it down so you don't forget! hehehe

Yes I have heard of alex grey, quite an interesting artist, but those paintings are so complex to make, at least in my point of view and my skill at drawing/painting
 
Yes he is quiet interesting! Very dichotomous as well. He combines the material world with the energy world in a very colorful and unique way. His artwork almost tells me that he uses entheogens (aside from the lsd and dmt molecules in a few paintings) in a purposeful and respectful way! he had an amazing netflix video "Chapel of sacred mirriors", but i cant find it anymore, like it was deleted. A couple netflix videos i know that are definatly nature aware are "forks over knives" (about whole foods and veggies diet), and "the secret life of plants" it literally shows that plants are aware
 
What really catches my eye is his ability to capture a day to day life aspect an illustrate it in such a psychedelic way, seeing his art just makes me wanna take some L xDD. One thing I don't have patient is to take so long in making a portrait, a drawing or a painting, whatever it is I don't really like to take long...but even in the Nexus in the art section i have seen incredible things! but when i see that they took like 5 months or so I'm like :shock:

nice nice xD glad you said some more videos to watch, after all i haven't previously watched The Buddha like i tough i had...I had watched The life of Buddha, but the movie you referred it's way more complete and explanatory, very good! :d
Later when i feel like watching some more videos i will check the ones you just said!
Another documentary i wanted to watch is Electronic awakening as i like trance music specially Goa Gil, but i cant seem to find the movie online or to download without a payment option :?
 
Ohh i for got to mention "dmt the spirit molecule" is also on netflix! Although its not nearly as informative as the book.
Theres also many different whole foods videos on netflix, as well as a few different movies on entheogens :thumb_up:

I look forward to seeing you around the forums 😁
