Hey everyone,
Thanks for all the positive comments. I like this community.
I've talked it over with my girlfriend, and I apologised for being passive-aggressive about the whole thing, but I did tell her that it was really important to me that we take a psychedelic journey together.
As a psychonaut, it honestly is, so I wasn't deceiving her. I laid it out there for her, told her that she probably wouldn't be able to understand my life perspective unless she took this trip with me, and let her know my doubts about a successful relationship blossoming if we couldn't share this experience that's so important to me and so much a part of me.
I went out of my way to not make it sound like a "do drugs or I'll break up with you" threat but I have a gut feeling that that's how it came across.
In the end, she told me that she's open to doing mushrooms, but not LSD or MDMA because they're synthetic. She'll let me know when she's ready, which she said would be likely this summer, and I promised not to bring it up anymore until she does.
if she beleives in god. tell her god made it just like he made u and me.
We're both atheists with a spiritual slant. That wouldn't work. I like to use that argument when I'm having drug debates with fundamentals, though. What's that bible passage, about all of God's herbs and seeds being for us to use?
Show her some good information about psychedelics.
I wouldn’t go about convincing anyone to take anything, let alone a psychedelic.
So leave it to her to make that decision herself.
All you can do is provide information,
And there’s plenty of that on the internet.
I plan to do this. I didn't research the drug before I tried it, and I had a disaster trip because I didn't know what was happening and tried to fight it. I don't want this to happen to her.
Has she had any experience with Cannabis? Usually after many sessions with Cannabis, you get curious what other psychoactive substances are like. Maybe she needs something to draw her attention towards mushrooms. I would suggest getting high off Cannabis a few times, and just talk about the trip while she is high. If you can put it in the right words, almost anyone would want to try mushrooms after. But don't force her if she really doesn't want to, as she may have an bad experience her first time if everything is to crammed in. By the way, where about in Canada do you live?
She has smoked weed from time to time (her younger brother is a major stoner, her brother's friends are dealers) but no more than a couple times a month at the most.
Oh, and I live in Vancouver, BC.
Don't talk her into doing a psychedelic drug for the first time on a festival where she is in an unknwn environment with a lot of unknown people.
Of course not. If our first time would be at the festival, I'd take her into the adjacent forest where we'd have solitude and tranquil surroundings, away from the permeating bass of the electronic music. Still, I doubt it would be there. I've spoken to her about taking a couple grams at a local flower garden. You know, good vibes, positive, spring-time environment. She seems to like that idea.
I do not know how old she is. This is very important!
She's 22, I'm 23.
Ecstasy
I'll suggest ecstasy to her, but she seems adamant about avoiding synthetic drugs. It's a mental block for her and I don't want to push it.
Once again, thanks for all the positive comments.
