anybody know if there are any science papers out there on the realtime following of brain chemistry during a trip. I'm referring mainly to mushrooms. The state/high you have after coming down from a pure (no pot during trip) mushroom trip where you feel refreshed, energetic, clearheaded and colors are still bright is in my opinion an amazing state. too bad you have to go through the mindmelting 6-8 hours before just to get there. wouldn't it be great if you could just get the afterglow only? i havn't had this feeling after every mushroom trip but have definitley experienced it a few times and wished I could stay like that forever. didn't get it from lsd or any phenethylamines.
so you just want a sedative state...get some blue lotus. i feel that my afterglow when i trip is so great because of the experiences i just had and the change of pace.
not sedative at all. I usually cant even sleep the night after a trip. I would describe the feeling as being on some kind of really clean, non-edgy stimulant, while being extremely happy. colors are bright and crisp. mentally your feel clear, like you could do anything you normally would sober, perhaps even better.
i know the feeling. i get it from acid as well. i used to feel the same way that you do about it, but then i realised that it's really stupid to be just using a psychadelic just for it's aftereffects, and then i learned to enjoy my trips more. the trip is basically the same as the afterglow really, it's possible for it to be anyway. now my trips are a whole lot less mindmelting and a whole lot more like having a really rediculous afterglow that is alot stronger.
thats cool...I never got it from lsd, I always felt so drained/tired after an lsd trip but i havn't tripped on L without smoking herb at some point in the trip and I feel that weed pretty much negates having a good afterglow after a shroom trip. anyways having a strong afterglow isn't what I want. I feel like the perfect drug would be one that gives you the afterglow. I seriously feel like I could take on the world and do anything in that state its very motivating. But i guess to actually benefit from tripping you have to try and hold on to this feelings when you are back in your normal state. This really would be the perfect drug in my eyes though
