Well I like psychedelics, LSD, Salvia Divinorum, mushrooms, peyote DMT, Xanga.
and I have tripped with marijuana. And I'm not just talking about the aspects that we could call cosmetic/visual (although I have had things that could be considered hallucinations with cannabis) there are certain varieties of marijuana that change the "train" of thoughts in a very similar way to certain of the mentioned psychedelics (LSD, mushrooms, peyote), while with some of those psychedelics, (Salvia, DMT, Xanga), at least in my experience, there have been plenty of visual effects, but not much change in my pattern or train of thought. thoughts, at least in the moment, later like everything in life because we try to find meaning in what we experience and see, analyzing ourselves and such. but if I remember on my trip to Salvia or dmt, say, yes the colors and fractals are beautiful, but where is that other thing that is missing. It's like doing tourism haha, a change of scenery but I'm still the usual me in a bizarre situation.
To which I go, the definition of tripy is subjective by definition.
I don't want to sound like a New Ager Hippie, because in general I don't like them. Here in Mexico some of those mentioned (the non-synthesized ones) were a common part of traditional medicine, and I don't mean in pre-Columbian times, when as you know several psychedelic substances were considered Of sacred importance, if not to the already urban Mexico, from the 50s beginning of the 60s they could be found in the market in the stalls of medicinal plants, of course that was before the hippies, and the idea of "drugs" was imported.
and it is that the hallucinating aspect of those substances, let's say that it was not understood as an end in itself.
And I wonder how much of the trippy effect can actually depend on the intention we seek?
nothing wrong with getting high for the sake of getting high, but...
