hello everybody! back from some crazy adventures and i find a topic that i fit into! lol, i havent read all of it yet-but i will. i think there a a lot of female psychonauts, but i find that more of them do it sans drugs. i think male and female have the capacity to be psychonatus without drugs, but ive found that guys (especially younger guys) tend to jump straight to licking papers and downing shrooms where are the girls that ive known have just been more observative of their natural capabilities. this is completely a generalization, but thats what ive noticed. i do drugs, but i find that it is easier for me to enter the spirit world/do whatever i want to do, while im sober. I feel that I have such a strong powerful force inside of me, I can do crazy things, communicate with things and leave my body, all of that without drugs and it moves at a pace that’s right for me-everytime you go farther and learn more but at a rate you can digest it. at my work we make herbal medicine and we were all sitting at a table pouring the tincture into bottles talking about this. basically everyone at my work is a psychonaut (i got lucky) and we got in a heated discussion over this, cause all of the guys thought drugs-especially plant psychoactive were the door to something you couldnt achieve in a natural state unless you were a shaman or something, whereas all the girls were like no, you dont need drugs to do anything, and some of them even felt they clouded and misled you. I try to avoid making blanket statements about different genders because each person has the capacity to channel male and female energy, but from observation, feminine people and masculine people approach psuchnatuical experimentation differently, going back to an archaic response to mother earth, old rights of passage and that such. But yeah, there are tons of female psychonatus out there, theyr just not as vocal (from what ive seen). Peace and love everybody! (sorry this was so dam long, I didn’t even really get around to saying what I wanted to=stoner tangents lol)
