im able to be more empathetic now. i used to be totally intolerant of anybodys faults (except my own). there are other effects, but i think that is the most profound change
It had changed me a lot. Through my mushrooms experiences and my last San Pedro experience, I really have developed this 'trait' where I have a really hard time NOT seeing the beauty in every individual and every living organism. Everything and everyone are just beautiful, period.

It puts everything in proper perspective. I see things with a bit more clarity. Don't try quite so hard and things will come. I think we get in the way of our own true selves sometime. And yes, I became more tolerant of others opinions and shortcomings. I'd rather be thier friend than be right.

It's really hard to tell because you don't know any different (how would I have been if I had never taken any psychedelic drugs?)
However I think I tend to have a break more often from my usual ways and think about what I have been doing and why. I am often more aware of myself and tend to see other people from a different perspective as well. I think it all comes down to being more open-minded to different ideas and actively trying not to fall into thinking in stereotypes. Something like that.

My self-image has beamed after my first mushroomtrip and has never again reached the dark places it dwelled before. I also feel more connected and grateful to be alive.
Though more connected, I also feel more alone. It's hard to talk to other people who haven't had these experiences.

To answer this question I will first have to go back in time to the period before I ever had a psychedelic experience.
I was interested in nature, was wondering about the infiinite cosmos, made drawings and cartoons, wrote short stories and I loved my father's weird music (Genesis, Marillion, Pink Floyd). But that was my private life. With my friends I was different: shoplifting, vandalism, making nasty jokes, etc.
When I was 15 my school celebrated its lustrum, and the them was "the 60s", I had my first puff, and everything evolved from that. My philosophical side became public through articles in the school paper, for which I became en enthusiastic writer and cartoonist. I stopped doing mischief, other than secretly smoking dope.
LSD soon followed, and it again had a profound effect on me. It made me radically clean up/simplify my room. During the first trip I took out my wooden bed, old carpet, childish images on the wall etc. During the second trip I became a vegetarian.
LSD made me very straightforward, not just during the trips but especially between them. Brutally honest, except for the fact that I used drugs, for my father had threatened to severely punish whoever would take drugs. He liked psychedelic music, but was completely in the dark about cannabis and psychedelics.
Unfortunately I also became religious, which kind of backfired on me, because I joined a religious order, so no drugs for 6 years... Well, I actually dropped out a couple of times, but it took me a while to really detach myself from all the BS.
The first time I did a high dose of mushrooms in a dark, silent room was in December 2005. But the experience itself didn't change my lifestyle as much as my first encounter with LSD had done. I guess all the talk about psychedelics (by McKenna, Alex Grey, Rick Strassman, all of whom I got to know at that time) has been much more influential.

psychedelics (including using thc as a psychedelic) helped me analyse some personal issues I had coming out of growing up in a strict fundamentalist religion. it definitely helped me analyse and deal with self-image issues (related to the above) by letting me dig into my psyche and understand where these issues came from. i think i'm more confident now and more comfortable in my skin. i learned to appreciate the now. i think i know how to love better
I once had an "i'm dying" trip (from a massive rush of thc). Some would call it terrifying. I would call it a gift. I came to crying at the sound of just hearing crickets... so very happy to be alive. 10 years ago I wasn't so sure about that. and you know since then that is the general message i have gotten from psychedelics--how joyful just being alive can be
oh yeah, and i started having amazing dreams again. and lots of new creative insights, ideas

I can't say enough about this topic. Overall it pryed me open, and forced me to take a second look at my surroundings again, and recognize the beauty in all living things, especially natural formations. I am extremely more tolerant, trustworthy, honest and humble. I am EXTREMELY curious about EVERYTHING now as well. Not sure if thats the form of "ADHD" I have with learning but I developed a deep passion for seeking truth. I am on the path to enlightenment, and I must say I owe a great deal to psychedelics.

Well yesterday i took a really small dose of mushrooms, but fucking hell. I had a really bad time. I got really sad about the fact, that i still not had finished school or having a job. I never know what i wanted to do and because i also had some other problems that stopped me from finishing school or finding a job i still wasted all my time at my computer. But today i really feelt great, did a search on the internet for a new study. And suddenly i found my mission, and maybe in a view months i start again, to finish school. So let's hope for the best
The mushrooms i took yesterday, really showed me how important it was, to DO something and also FINISH it. So i hope, I've really learned a great lesson and i can say in about 3 or 4 years, that i really did something.
