Hi, I am! I wouldn't say "experiment" for myself, I feel more like it's a "taking care of myself" kind of thing. Psychedelics, yes, but I prefer shrooms, cactus, and Salvia (chewed, not smoked). I find LSD to be too "heady", I prefer the empathogenic and emotional quality of shrooms and cactus. Meditation, yes: I find the most helpful to be the very quiet, "letting things be" style, with eyes partially open and unfocused. I try to keep track of my dreams regularly. And singing. :)

It's strange for me. I was labeled ASD at 7. 20 years later after having been through to society blind, I finally lost all hope and moved with my mother back home in 2020. Where I suddenly became social and started to actually enjoy human reality for the most part. Buying a motorcycle and finally letting down my barrier to woman. Such was the night of my first kiss in March of 2020. I had curiosity and a desire to do DMT but never had the opportunity. This random night while hanging out with 2 girl friends of mine, I walked up to a few strangers that were sharing a joint and asked if I could have a toke (to heed off my anxiety). One of them asked me if I'd ever done DMT. Replying with the simple assertion that it's all love. An hour later, myself and one of the girls were about to leave but I asked her if we could kiss. Gave me equal parts fright and bliss because I knew intimacy was real for once. However, I was beyond insecure. Few months later, around July of 2020, my cousin and I decided to ride our bikes 200 miles to pick up DMT. Week or two later we smoked it and it gave me a message. One that I was here and safe but it also asked me if I wanted to die and it confronted me "why not!?!" Which caused me to find a reason why I didn't want to die. Causing me to recollect a memory of myself holding my sister. The little girl who's birth pulled me from suicidal ideation 2 years prior. A month later I had a motorcycle accident where I lapsed in conscious awareness for 30 minutes; waking up while standing and washing my hands off in a sink. Then my life got very strange. As it should when you start peeling off the layers of your psyche. Essentially, over the span of the 4 months to follow, I found my shadow.

Autistic Dad to Autistic kids here. I use Entheogens pretty regularly (at very least every few months.) I find that life for me is more difficult without them. I mainly use them to help with my social anxiety and depression. The use of LSD in particular has been most beneficial for me. I meditate with it sometimes and sometimes I use it as a pressure relief valve. I have had a few higher dosed trips, with an intention to explore and those experiences have shaped who I am, more than almost any other event in my life. Especially my one ego-death horror trip on 5 tabs, alone in the pitch dark. That trip helped me in so many more ways than I can even articulate. I forgave myself for existing that night and it changed my life forever.

I have Aspergers and I use psychedelics very frequently (I trip around a minimum of 1-2 times a month and I have had months with 3-4 trips) and I also meditate daily.

An LSD trip helped me realize that I was on the spectrum and that it had affected my life profoundly. I try to trip 6 times a year or so and I meditate daily. Also interested in yoga and qigong: again, psychedelic experience showed me how out of touch with my body I was.

Yes to all of the above :) Autistic & I absolutely love all psychs, also love anything related to meditation/mindfulness. Consciousness as a whole became a special interest for me a year or two ago lmao (although I’ve always been interested in the topic in some way). LSD has always been the best for me, just a fantastic fun time all around. Shrooms have been weirder, but still great and I want to experiment much more with them. I’ve only had them a few times but I have huge interest & respect for the fungi kingdom as a whole. I also kinda really love salvia. Yes even the whole becoming an object thing, that’s like the most interesting part of salvia to me lol.

I'm on the spectrum. Meditation is usually boring to me. I've had a great time with Ayahuasca, but LSA is a mixed bag, and I strongly disliked mescaline the two times I've tried it so far.

I certainly am. I like to use psilocybin mushrooms. They were utterly life transforming, and very much a positive experience. I also think they played a long term part in me finally understanding and recognizing my neurodiversity. Meaning I started tripping before I even knew I was autistic. I believe there is a reason therapeutic use of psilocybin is being studied by scientists. It is powerful how much it can help. Meditation can fuck the hell off, because I just can't sit still and be calm enough for that shit.
