Because it fills me with an unparalleled bliss and gratitude for my existence. =) Also, it's given me a pretty groovy perspective on life.
I'm a sentient being somehow generated by some mysterious chemical process in an incredibly complex biological mechanism called a brain, housed and protected and nourished by a "body", which was perfected over millions of years in a self-optimizing process called evolution. All of this is made up of matter, countless infinitesimal forces, interacting with each other and constantly shifting throughout space and time.
At least, that's what I've been lead to believe.

GreenD,
It converted me from atheism at age 41 when no one and nothing else could.
It has shown me realms of beauty and given me lessons in art I wouldn't have believed possible.
It has taught me the true meaning of the word ecstasy.
It has taught me the true meaning of the word terror.
It has filled my mid-life with novelty, something that had been sorely lacking.
The list goes on . . .
Peace & Love,
Pandora

Pandora, I liked that one.
I seem to, I don't know. For some reason the feelings I get from being sober after inhaling, that I seem to be seeing something different from everyone else I've ever talked to.
But I guess everyone's gotten that feeling too right?
It just seems the farther I go, the harder it is to relate to anyone else. It's odd, and happens on occasion.
But I do it to learn. I do it to make connections in the brain I couldn't without it.

If you have to ask.....!
No seriously, because in my wildest dreams I wouldn't, couldn't ever have imagined that I'd be able to see such Impossible, Awe inspiring, Astonishing things behind my closed eyes....
As TmK once said "There's a universe sized object right there in your head & it's your birth-right to be able to explore it"
5 years on & off exploring and only just scratched the surface....

There's not a more perfect surrender. But in the end you surrender nothing and gain everything. I've never been saner.

For me it's also definatly the magic of it all!
I'm only talking about smoked DMT now, other psychedelics are part of my little quest for inner peace, realisation, and understanding.
I also love the afterglow, in that moment i'm able to see things as they truly are, pure and undamaged by the thinking mind.

My goals are knowledge, integration, and bonding.
Initially, I tried my first psychedelic because a friend convinced me that he had discovered the answer to life, the universe and everything by taking LSD. He begged me to try and and to put off calling him crazy until I had actually experienced it myself. I agreed, and decided that I had also found the answer to life, the universe and everything.
After that, I continued tripping occasionally until I felt I had learned everything I could from it. At that point I stopped. I'm able to understand the experience while sober and have completely integrated the experience into my sober understanding of reality.
Same goes for magic mushrooms. I tried them and then continued using them until I no longer could gain anything from an experience. Then I stopped.
I haven't tried DMT yet, but my intent is the same. I hope to experience hyperspace for myself, and learn until I feel that nothing more can be gained in terms of what I can carry back with me to sober life.
Another goal is to use psychedelics as a bonding experience with friends who are willing to try them, or with those who have already used them.
Some people I know use LSD once a year to re-examine the year with a fully-expanded consciousness. This seems respectable to me.
For me, though, the magic and escape is just a side bonus during the trips. The awe, knowledge and bonding stay with you forever.
