I can honestly say I think DMT in the form of ayahuasca opened me up to a whole new way of thinking and my subsequent usage of LSD furthered that exploration. No repercussions at all, that I can tell. I smoke pot more, though, which slows me down, but I'm sober enough most of the time to do my shit without over-thinking. Since I've had the world opened up before my eyes, I think about everything in every way possible and it drives me crazy, so I have to dumb myself down every now and then, just to relax. I would say that's a pretty good side-effect as opposed to the failure of vital organs or holes being burned into my brain.
Since this post, I've learned that most of what I said is untrue about the necessity to dumb myself down. As can be expected by many of you now, I was high when I typed that post. But looking back(all those many days ago) I realize that I do enjoy my sobriety and the amount of thinking I do and I've been slowly weaning myself off pot because of that. Also, I don't think I even like marijuana any more, if I ever did to begin with. I liked it because of how it brought me closer to friends and how it changed my view of the world in small ways and in small glimpses at a time, but my goal in smoking weed was to achieve the effects that I've since experienced by using psychedelics, therefore rendering my initial reason void and the only excuse I have now is that I'm "addicted" on a psychological level. I feel angry and burdened when I'm sober, or at least I used to. I had become dependent on weed to seek insight into the small world I trapped myself in and I felt as though only weed would bring me closer to people. I thought that everyone should do it. Now, I don't think weed is terrible, no not by a long-shot. But it's not for me, any more, at least and I do intend to quit it in the near future. I've already slowed down immensely from smoking 3-5 grams daily(by myself) to now smoking a joint or two with friends twice a week at most. I still enjoy the effects, but I don't need it and I understand now that it's become a ball and chain on my mind, slowing my mental progress and separating me from my friends, the exact opposite result of what I used to think was good about it.
Anyway, I know I'm rambling and y'all don't want to read it, but the more I think, the more I discover and I stand by my previous statement about the ayahuasca being the catalyst that got my brain jump-started once again. I'm planning on doing it again soon, after a week or two of fasting.
