As a young kid I started to develop a big interest in Psychedelic usage, as well as the popularity of Psychedelics that has surrounded the counter culture back in the 60's. A lot of people that I've known who are about my age or younger have partook in psychedelics themselves. I would say that you are now seeing a big resergence on Psychedelic usage. For my generation weed is pretty much the big thing (which is entirely separate from the psychedelic category) however it isn't just weed that is the big thing. Nowadays Acid and Shrooms seems to be another popularity with some of my generation. We hear many stories based on psychedelic propaganda which was developed by the conservative establishment back in the 60's.
The most common stories that I've heard surrounding psychedelics are getting "flashbacks," or getting "perma fried." Some people to this day have bought into the whole psychedelic propaganda. And it's amazing how much critical thinking is never used to break the propaganda myths. When you've known people who have personally used mind altering substances, as well as people like Zach Black who has even broken those myths, including documentaries on psychedelics, you already began to analyze it and come up with your own conclusion that these anti-psychedelic myths are bull shit. Now don't get me wrong, any drug that is abused can probably mentally fuck you up one way or the other. However, if you yourself have tried these mind altering substances you will come to those same conclusions that disproves government propaganda.
I am a big supporter on psychedelic usage including the benefits that psychedelics has on the individual. Certain psychedelics can open up one's subconscious of the very hidden that one has kept away. It makes you face your own very subconscious. Sometimes the things that you face on your psychedelic trip can be negative, and of course you don't wanna face the negative of your subconscious. But at the same time when you face that very negativity of the hidden, you began to come to your own self-realization of your own self. It makes you challenge that very self, it makes you question that very self, it raises that awareness of that very self-transformation. It gives you the question if you want to accept those changes within the very self to improve on.
Psychedelics isn't for everyone. It is for the very few that has that openness to reject the status quo, and that's willing to see these substances themselves. I personally think that if one is in possession of these substances, they shouldn't get arrested from that. These substance's can have a positive impact on the individual self, if the individual is responsible on having a purpose by using these mind altering substances. I personally do not have a problem if one uses these substances recreationally. But in my personal opinion some of these substance's isn't really meant to be recreational at all. Rather it can become an alternative to psychological therapy for the individual. It can form the very fabric of the individuals critical thinking process as well as one's spiritual or philosophical foundation. Every trip is different on the individual. Some can have that recreational experience when indulging with these mind altering substances. And some who try to do it recreationally can get the opposite result where it focuses more on the psychology of one's mind. Don't get me wrong in the psychedelic world, you do have a group that I call the "psychedelic elitists" who believe that psychedelics should only be used for therapy. I personally disagree with that form of elitism. Yes, not everyone should use psychedelics. But I strongly advocate an open mindedness on psychedelic usage on one's individuality. If someone uses it recreationally be my guest, if someone uses it therapeutically, be my guest. I don't believe in dictating to others on that elitist view on psychedelics.
