Because I'm the real deal Artificial suggests that someone has constructed it. That which I am has no creator outside of itself.

Find something that you love on this side of the psychedelic curtain. I really mean it: Find something that you love! There has to be something. If it's psychedelics, have you thought about starting some project by which you can share your love with others? Or it's something else entirely. The important point is sharing it with others! I feel you also need physical touch and the warmth of another human — physically as well as psychologically and especially emotionally! Work on that, too. This could be a therapist. You're not alone, believe me. I know a lot of those thoughts and feelings. The difference is that I have a why that makes me able to bear this burden. I have found something that I love (which is my music). It could be something completely different for you, but I know that it is my divine duty to bring the music in me into this world, because that is, what she needs the most.

@Schizophonia I was talking about getting addicted and then stopping — and getting physically and psychologically addicted to them happens really fast. Benzos are no child's play. Especially if you underestimate them.

Wrong. You can mess up your brain really bad with benzos. You can even die if you get addicted to them and suddenly stop, or do serious lasting damage to your brain. If I remember correctly, this is exactly what happened to Jordan Peterson when he tried to suddenly stop his benzodiazepine consumption. You can read about it.

@Leo Gura Just a heads up: You wrote: I think that's a mistake, no?

Me. I didnt't like Methylphenidate (Ritalin) because I had the feeling it made me extremely anti-social (I was extremely awkward around other humans). But some report the exact opposite. I take Bupropion right now (but try to wean off of it), because it has the least effect on my personality compared to amphetamines and dopamine-reuptake-inhibitors like Ritalin or say coke.

@Seeker123 If somebody debunked that for you you'd have to debunk that person later (because else THAT would become your new parroted belief... putting you back at square one) — so why not skip that and come to your own conclusions instead of relying on others to do it for you. That doesn't mean it's not worth to have a discussion about this stuff, but your thread title screams intellectual laziness.

Copium. You're greater than you think. See it as a chance to shine brighter than you could've ever imagined (if you dare). "Will I regret my life?" is the wrong question. Rather ask yourself: "What would it feel like to be free of all self-imposed limits?"

You're fooling yourself. Karma literally means action. There's no rulekeeper of the universe who would punish you, true. But your actions have consequences and those will be very real. In the end, you can do whatever you want and nobody's gonna stop you. But at least be conscious of how your actions affect others that in turn will affect you. Remember: We're all in the same boat. We're all in this alone together. What you do to the least of your fellow beings you do to yourself. Contemplate that. If you keep ignoring that you're just being unintelligent..

You said: "Psychedelics are just an illusion experience." I say: "Psychedelics are an illusion experience." Those are two different statements. You could say the same about Life.

@James123 It's not just an illusion experience. It's an illusion experience. And that's a huge difference.

No answer will suffice until you start looking yourself.

Gravity.

I don't see any images, just an alphanumeric string.

Do DMT, else you won't know. It is horrifyingly beautiful — and that's what you are. What you describe sounds like a hack of Super Mario 64 lol
