How did your perception change after? Was it a good or bad thing? What niche did you find yourself in after? Is there anywhere you fit?
I love me some drugs..
But that is all I am going to say about it for now..
Same
honestly the answers to a lot of these questions are really hard to articulate...partly because I'm not sure what kind of responses you are looking for and i don't like disappointing people and partly because I'm not exactly sure what you mean by things like what kind of niche i found myself in after doing such drugs? Maybe because those don't apply to me...i don't know.
maybe you could elaborate? or answer them yourself? i'm very interested in seeing where this topic goes..
Lets see... the main drugs I guess I am talking about are LSD and weed. I feel as if I have been born into a completely new perception, but I don't know what the hell to do with it. I feel like a particle free floating in a wind storm. I guess the effect it had on me was making me feel my perceptions are no longer limited. I just don't know what to do with it. Kinda wandering aimlessly because I can't think of a way to go.
Ahh ok
like nolla, it wasn't so much that weed gave me a feeling of experiencing different perceptions. it allows me to wade through already established perceptions, but not anything that's "new", or earth-shattering... it just allows me to perceive THOSE perceptions differently.
Wow that sounds like a very stoner thing to say. But there is a difference, I think. depending on if I smoke something that gives me a "body high" or a "mind high". In my head i see it like a sliding scale; for example when i'm "sober" I possess Extraverted Sensing but it's not nearly as well developed as my Extraverted Intuition, so i lean more towards a "mind high" on the scale. with weed I can either tip the scale ever more towards a mind high (Ne), or towards a body high (Se), but nothing beyond what is already "established". Keep in mind i'm generalising here, but using N and S perceptions as a reference point.
hallucinogens like acid, shrooms, and salvia are what gave me the feeling of experiencing "new" perceptions. It deconstructed everything I perceived to exist to pieces and rebuilt and reconstructed over and over again. I saw things beyond "N" and "S". Any and all categories that previously existed were destroyed. It was a little scary and a lot beautiful. i can relate to feeling like a free-floating particle in this sense.
What I did find interesting is that colours and strong visuals were not the "highlights" of any of these trips except salvia, which is how they've traditionally been described. Instead they were rather....conceptual. I don't know what that means beyond interesting^^
I know exactly how you feel about salvia, it scared the hell out of me seeing some of those things. I felt like I couldn't think, simply experience almost like I was forced out of my own mind. Where did the free floating take you?
Are you asking if we found we belonged to a certain niche after we did drugs because you don't know where you belong and are looking for your own niche?
heh uh, well it lead me to a realization that in terms of the "big picture", I have no fucking clue what is going on. It's just that when I'm "sober", the illusion that I do is much more stable.
