Developing "special Interest"? about psychedelic research and experiences

out_of_step
over 4 years ago

I don't know if this thread will get pulled or not I hope it doesn't.  I self-identify as being on the spectrum. I've gone off reading and resesrching about autism since I have developed a very keen interest in psychedelics.  Not to take. But ive been reading up about a particular one since the Monday just after Christmas when a very brief conversation with a friend set the spark going. 

It's like I cannot get enough of it. YouTube,  forums, articles, studies. I bought a book by rick strassman and read it inside a week and a half. I finished it tonight so ive been looking at what other books i can buy. Ive stsrted in a youtube audio book by terencr mckenna. I've been looking online at which psychedelics I could grow in my garden. I've been reading about microdosing. I've been reading accounts of people's trips. I've been looking into how to take part in research. Reading up about the powerful effevts is changing how i see the wotld and im changing my beliefs from material to spiritual. I have only talked to one person about it all as he's very open to "talking deep".

I still wonder if I'm on the spectrum. (And it's not just because of interests... I have plenty of other reasons too...)

Does anyone else share this interest?

Has anyone got any first hand experience of this subject?

    This is interesting this thread has re-ignited. I'd be careful what you say...I got reprimanded last year and the forum rules were changed last year in response to something I set off about psychedelics on another thread.

    I'll read all the responses in a bit - there's quite a lot!

    check out paul stammets and alan rockefeller. i think both are usa based, both interested in mushrooms and probably microdosing. stammets for sure. but alan rockefeller has a lot of youtube videos on shrooms - worth checking out. i happen to live in one of the only places in the usa where psylocybin (sp?) is not illegal (i think?).  which is oakland, ca. yea, oakland! i've tried them, but not a huge fan, personally.. but i feel microdosing of it is well worth study.

    i hope this site encourages free speech of substances that may have been stigmatized int he past, but is now having worthwhile research done. but stifling communication on this site of psylocybin would be...........well....................very NT-like. lol, super duper ironically.

    Yes I've been listening to Stamets on Spotify.  He's a dude.  Not heard of Alan Rockerfeller. 

    I don't think its "NT" like. There are rules in society (whether I agree with them or not is another matter) and they have a responsibility to keep people safe. I'm sure there are other forums on the internet where it could be more openly discussed
