It's 2017 the need to break the law and possibly create a roadblock for yourself and have to possibly wast your time in the legal system to expand your mind is over. There are planty of innovative products and supplements out there that are not only legal but actually good for you I use a product called KATY it makes learning things awesome it's marketed mainly for the music festival edm demographic but I like to use it and take a course on Udemy or listen to a good audio book. When I do it I feel like I can learn any skill if I try hard enough and don't give up. It rly helps me I'm not trying to be a "bro marketer" but I'll post a link if you want to check it out https://katy.love/

Interesting thread so far.

I'm under the impression that Psychedelics really aren't good to take until your brain is past full maturation (~25 years old for Males). Is this reasonably true?
In the meantime and as someone who studies NLP/Psychology for personal development purposes, it makes sense to maximize our current brainpower with what we have available, even if using drugs as a tool for personal development has its usefulness.

This is coming from a person with zero drug background or usage. Nothing. So they may not be comparable.

@AndrewNC any thoughts? Sounds up your alley since your field is human performance.

EDIT: (Mods, Redact if this doesn't belong here) Adding to what I said previously about not needing psychedelics and maximizing what we have...A big component to maximizing life has also been largely spiritual.

Without going into detail I've recently changed faith, and there are some capabilities and events that happen in life that are miraculous and not my doing. I'm not talking about "spiritual superpowers" here, and they're not all the time. Nor are they present 24/7. Nor can I even actively "control" these "powers." Based on what I just mentioned, you'd even say they're useless. But they are there, they're real, and they come out when they need to.

I think the more we open up to the idea that we don't control our lives, but rather we influence them, the more we begin to see life in its riches.

You haven't lived until you microdose LSD and make cold calls.

I wouldn't recommend this for somebody who hasn't done psychedelics under 5 times.

But you lose the fear of what's going to go wrong.

It can also back-fire, because a buddy of mine tried to pitch $100K to a client while microdosing on LSD.

He didn't land the client, but it just shows you how it dissolves your fear.

Loving this thread man. I'm going to conduct more research.

I want to try LSD safely, because I want to 10X my creativity. I know I have the potential, I just need a push. Would workout tremendously for my web design agency.

Glad to see Steve Jobs tried it. Cliche but he's one of my inspirations.

I hate when people suggest this [meditation]
The benefits between the 2 are night and day
I know you're trying to be helpful, but all you're doing is discouraging him from a potentially beneficial experience

Meditation is like building a house from the ground up. You prepare the land, lay a foundation, building it brick by brick until it is finished and you can walk inside and live there. Psychedelics is like finding the house and sticking your head through the window for a short look. DMT is like strapping yourself to a rocket ship and blasting off into the unknown depths beyond space and time.

(or so people tell me)

"Performance enhancing" drugs and the whole biohack nonsense seems like a high cost for very little return.

The wick goes faster the brighter it burns, so what's the point if you can't guarantee you're moving towards anything beneficial?

If you want to be "Apex", "Alpha", "Rockstar", etc., awesome, you'll make someone a very happy employer.

But I don't see most billionaires wasting their time worrying about optimizing every last drop of energy - they're looking for opportunities, they're mastering relationships, they're getting people to know, like and trust them.

And if those crusty billionaires can outwork you on prilosec and lipitor, I don't think a limitless pill will do jack shit to get you closer to freedom.

Expected landfill - someone looking for the 'secret' to success, instead the author was MJ, very pleased!

Regarding LSD/Mushrooms, I believe them to be a fragile, yet powerful tool - although they are by no means required.

LSD & Mushrooms are portrayed by media as the same thing, which isn't really true. They are merely in the same class of drugs, as are caffeine and cocaine.

For those wondering the difference, a great description I once heard was that LSD is like being the driver of a rocket ship and mushrooms are like being strapped to the rocket ship (it will show you what you need to see, and you'll have very little choice.)

For the reason above I prefer mushrooms as I think it brings to your attention what you really need to address.

As far as my experience, I have had incredible insights on mushrooms - things that I would expect would've taken me years (I speculate) to figure out otherwise.

Like @JAJT mentioned (great post, btw) you wake up the next day and something has changed. The realisations you had, the thoughts, the moments of disbelief, were all real. These realisations are not weed (not a fan, as it happens.) realisations aka "Woah man, what if there is another gender, not just male/female, woaaaah" (You get my point...).

I will now unleash my preschool art skills to try and offer an insight on how psychedelics work at a very basic level...

2rh1pqd.jpg


If you are curious about the topic, I'd be more than happy to chat further. It is such a out of this world, unique, special, and indeed spiritual experience that can only deepen ones character. Words can never do the experience justice.

Do not let yourself grow old without experiencing the wonders of the psych world. Even if only one time - that may be all you really need.

Of course, the real work starts when you must put your realisations to action.

"Psychedelic experience is only a glimpse of genuine mystical insight, but a glimpse which can be matured and deepened by the various ways of meditation in which drugs are no longer necessary or useful. If you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen..." - Alan Watts

Well I've never done Cocain, Heroin, LSD or any of the 'hard' drugs, however I smoked Marijuana to varying degrees for about ten years and it totally f*cked up my mind. It took me another five years to get my 'self' back and another five years before I started being an entrepreneur. If Marijuana has such a massive negative psychological effect, I shudder to think what other drugs can do to you; probably irreversibly destroy your life, for the rest of your life. My opinion: Don't do drugs (and I include alcohol in that list).

Read an interesting article about this in Men's Journal, I think. LSD microdosing was mentioned as well as experimenting with the narcolepsy drug Modafinil. It was developed for use by the Air Force during the cold war, and when used, you can expect to stay awake and quite functional for days at a time if necessary. You could send your productivity levels off the charts, and many of the Silicon Valley ilk use this as well and stay up for days writing code. It is fairly low-risk, but of course, it's a prescription drug and any non-standard method of procurement would have to be investigated by the individual.

I used Modafinil for the first six months that I was working on my Publishing business. By the way I don't consider Modafinil to be a 'drug' in line with the topic of this thread. If you're considering it, you have to take Alpha GPC (a form of Choline) with it, else you get intense migraine headaches.

It definitely increases your focus and concentration, but you have to make sure that you are focussing on the thing that you want to work on when you take it. It takes about half an hour to take effect and whatever your attention is fixed upon during that time becomes your sole intense focus for the next four or five hours. So, if your intention is to do work and you start working and pop some Modafinil, you'll spend the next few hours ripping through work. However, if you start watching YouTube videos and pop a pill, you'll spend the next few hours addictively watching YouTube. You won't even consider that you should be doing something else. You'll probably even forget to eat, as Modafinil is also an appetite suppressant.

I eventually stopped using it because I just didn't like feeling like I was on drugs. You don't get the altered reality effects that you get when you're on weed, but you do feel like your vision is ultra-focussed, like a horse wearing blinkers. Also, I started experimenting with reducing the amount of sleep that I got every day, to increase the amount of time I could spend working on my business. That worked, but the feeling was really unpleasant. What happens is that when you deprive yourself of sleep for long enough but you're on Modafinil, you're still intensely awake and focussed but your mind just loses the ability to think. Trying to do anything that involves thought becomes really hard.

So, I abandoned reducing my sleep, as I really think that your brain needs sleep to be able to function properly. I also began questioning why people like Tim Ferriss and Dave Asprey who were massive proponents of Modafinil suddenly decided to stop using it. I read that one of them said "There's no such thing as a free lunch". So, I stopped. I may not get as much work done now as I did then, but it's really great feeling 'clean'.

You haven't lived until you microdose LSD and make cold calls.

I wouldn't recommend this for somebody who hasn't done psychedelics under 5 times.

But you lose the fear of what's going to go wrong.

It can also back-fire, because a buddy of mine tried to pitch $100K to a client while microdosing on LSD.

He didn't land the client, but it just shows you how it dissolves your fear.

I'm not trying to be offensive, but this is just rubbish. You don't do drugs to 'dissolve' your fear of doing something. You just DO IT. I used to be petrified of talking to people on the phone. So I GOT A JOB ANSWERING PHONES. I used to be terrified of the thought of talking to attractive girls. Guess what? I got really good at talking to girls by DOING IT. I didn't need to take LSD to do it, I just needed to grab my balls and put them on the chopping block.

I was asked my opinion on drugs (LSD) as a tool for creativity during one of my podcast interviews and frankly came up blank as I didn't have enough knowledge to form an opinion, other than SCRIPTED responses (drugs are bad/dangerous/etc.)

Your thoughts?

I could tell you that this would be "writers block" worst enemy.


Other related forum topics:

Nootropics (Brain drugs!)

O/T: Health - Nootropics? Anyone familiar with them?

Very interesting; I have used various drugs throughout my life including LSD, however have never heard of it being used as a creativity tool.

I think like all drugs, its use can be beneficial, its abuse is not. The problem with acid is that it's so damn small, and so damn powerful, so taking it in small enough doses to kick your creativity gene whilst not triggering your freakout mechanism is difficult.

Between the ages of 17 and about 20, I took a lot of acid, when I say a lot, I'm talking about a 12 month period whereby I took it almost every day. I tripped on all sorts of different strengths, and of course was using it for recreational purposes. I did indeed have lots of, aha I've solved the most important problems in the world moments, however was always too mashed up to write them down or remember them afterwards.

I like mushrooms more because you can control their dosage a lot more effectively, taking 5 or 10 (British psylocibins) might make you a bit giggly, 20-30 and you are in an interesting zone, 50 + and you're tripping balls (depending on body weight, state of mind, etc.)

It intrigues me that highly successful people are using this, although Tim Ferris is quite out there, and I doubt that his mastermind group is typical. My advice would be to buddy up with someone you trust, who really knows their acid. Then get them to give you a very low dose and go from there.

Ultimately I'm all for using drugs to enhance cognitive function; I'm on Modafinil as I write this, and have used skunk weed in the past to write creatively. I kind of got over LSD and have a very different reaction than when I used to take it, watching that video does make me want to have another go at it, this time using it for developmental purposes.

Thanks for the post, I really had no idea!

Based-on what I've seen, many of you are working hard, hustling, getting-up early (it's 5:42AM as I type this) and as you do all of this....you're taking time out of your day to meet someone to buy illegal narcotics they probably cooked in a dirty laboratory flask, made with precursor chemicals from China or Mexico that were probably obtained through other illicit means, likely initially produced and shipped by gangs or cartels.

You're so concerned about a manufacturers rating on Alibaba and if you'll get a good product from your CAD drawing, but don't seem to mind ingesting chemicals of unknown quality from a factory in Bangladesh.

I'm not here to debate drugs being legal/illegal, and interestingly neither will the cop that arrests you. You could flush all your work down the drain over this kind of thing.

Again, I may not agree with mandatory minimum sentencing or the classification of some drugs (and yes people, despite what individual states are doing, recreational marijuana is still illegal).

Be safe. Don't jeopardize your business and livelihood to "get more creative".

Seriously people? You're building a business, not attending a rave.

Alrightly then - flame on.

I don't do drugs so i don't have much knowledge about LSD,but i do know that drugs are bad and they affect almost every organ in the human Body.

You prefaced a statement on drugs saying you don't have much knowledge on drugs.

Drugs r bad?

Hmmm, how was your coffee this morning?

Yes, I was saying it's a fun thing to try. If you can't talk to somebody on the phone without LSD you're going to be a nervous wreck.

Drugs being bad, is anything but a scripted response. A scripted response would be that they benefit you. As kids we are continually told drugs are bad by parents/society. So you might think that you are "scripted" for now thinking they are bad. Reality however, is that mostly everyone try at least some drugs. I classify nicotine/THC/alcohol as drugs as well. We try them because we are curious. "Why are people still taking these drugs, if they're so bad? "There must be some benefit to it! All my friends say it's cool and do it!"

So THAT is a script, if you have to call something a script. Drugs are a trap that's luring us in from childhood. Unfortunately there's not much revenue to be gained in antidrug campaigns, at least not continuous. So the only campaigns you see are scare campaigns. Crappy government campaigns. Instead of explaining how the trap works, and why some people keep taking the drugs. However very few people know these things. Even the people in drug campaigns are scripted as well.

I am firmly in the "Just say no" camp. The negative effects of the entire drug trade outweigh any one person's desire to make cold calls or whatever BS reason they use to justify it.

It is no secret that my childhood was disturbing at best. We did LSD on a regular basis up until early twenties. None since then.

It was life changing.... Not in a positive or negative way. But the experiences were intense!

I saw things that could not be explained in words.

One example.... I was walking by myself up a trail in the hills. My mind told me that there was a cliff ahead and that I was marching to my death. I was swinging my green shirt over my head and the sky turned into an amazing kaleidoscope of green and blue.

I reached the edge of the trail and down in the valley I could see the house of my girlfriend. What a relief! Not going to die yet. As soon as I reached her house, another friend of mine came driving up. He walked up to me, opened his shirt and said "I have a police wire on. We are going to get xxxxx busted".

This guy had pulled a gun and threatened us a few days back. The police were sending us "minors" back to get it on tape.... without our parents permission!!!!

The next few hours were unreal with undercover police, a pimp, him finding out that there were undercover police, and a confession.

All while tripping!

No cell phones back then. I have no idea how my friend found me there. I was supposed to be in school.

True story.

Seriously...my creativity has never needed foreign substances. I've heard all kinds of people talking about all the above, and I laugh most of the time. When you don't know the difference between imagination and reality, than you're kind of in trouble. If I die I rather do it the natural way, with my full mental function. I come up with enough weird stuff on my own in art and literature. My question is, "How do they know they can't be creative without it."
Maybe it's just an illusion within an illusion. I push my mind with things like chess, riding on roller coasters, looking at abandoned houses, maneuvering in and out of cultural perspectives. I think you can be inspired by many every day interactions without drugs. INFJ's are dreamy enough. Usually I'm sensitive to prescribed medications, if I took other foreign substances, I'd freak out probably. What it's really all coming down to is the right side of the brain, illusion, fight or flight, fear. Most people have a hard enough time figuring out fiction and fantasy. Just the main population already uses drugs, they seem to act violent, do stupid things, jump off buildings, car surf, drown, road rage, shoot each other, and they claim there being creative. Insanity seems to be pretty close to being arrested for murder, rape, vandalism, and other forms of idiotic behavior. Some individuals walk in front of cars, trains, and drive into parked buildings, that weren't there five minutes ago.

Trigonometry seems to be my latest phase. The more you surround yourself with creativity it automatically push your brain and cuts the pathways. I think the whole drug idea really is more about delusion and hallucination.

Frankly, just from visualizing, I can be creative. I think it's more how your brain is wired. If you practice drawing a flower on a chalk board, you can build a house in your head. You can change colors. I think basically from being on second life and working with shapes and dimensions it actually trained my mind to think that way. Since you're taking shapes and maneuvering to create something.

Bath Salts is one thing that's really crazy. I watched them on you tube. Some people enjoy experimenting. Fortunately, I've never been much of drug experimenter, nor alcohol. I think I just like being in control of my mind.

My take on microdosing is that it's not the wonder creative drug that it's touted to be -if you read up on the microdosing subreddit (or other easily found online resources), there are tons of pretty lofty claims which I find to be consistent throughout online discussions. I did not experience most of the lofty claims. But that doesn't mean it wasn't worthwhile to me.

I microdosed LSD for 3-4 months earlier this year (following the Fadiman protocol) & definitely had a positive experience with it: it helped highlight some unhealthy mindsets that I subconsciously carried that were definitely damaging to the progress I wanted to make -both personally & professionally. Never once was I tripping in any way -zero impairment of any kind, not even pupil dilation which some people report even at micro dosages. It was like the insightful voice in the back of my head spoke up a little louder & with significantly more insight about my daily happenings. It was actually pretty incredible - but not in any way I was expecting due to online research.

Like anything else in life, these substances can be a tool. Just like with a TIG welder, you don't just run off & decide you want to use it one day -you decide if the tool fits the job you want to accomplish, you read up on how to operate the tool, you do it in a safe environment & potentially even have a teacher guide you at first -you have harm-reductions protocols in place & use them. Psychedelics are no different than any other tool, in my opinion.




The problem with acid is that it's so damn small, and so damn powerful, so taking it in small enough doses to kick your creativity gene whilst not triggering your freakout mechanism is difficult.

This is why you dose volumetrically, in distilled water. It's very easy to control the dose in this manner.

Nice ! I've got a few crazy ones. One was at an intermission at a Grateful Dead show somewhere where I for some reason started playing drum rhythms loudly with the underside of my fists on one of those plastic garbage cans in one of the hall areas in the stadium. Next thing you know the entire area was slam packed with deadheads dancing and spinning. Garbage cans from other corridors were dragged down there too for more jammin by others. And some were tapping rhythms along to this on the drinking fountain with lighters. Security was the one who had the episode at that moment!

I hear kratom is good. Never tried though.

Good stuff. Make sure you buy the expensive stuff though. It's not cheap. If it is, it's cut with something (flour, cornstarch), especially if it comes already in pills... so buy the powder (harder to cut it because you can tell by the smell)

Really good, but subtle painkiller. Anti-depressant and anti-anxiety. It mellows the mind, but not in a good way for creativity, and increases physical energy. Weird combination. Helps with social anxiety for sure.

Side effects I've had: Nausea, gas.

One thing to be aware of though, it will increase absorption of other drugs. It's commonly (?) used by people on prescription painkillers to increase effectiveness. So be wary if you are on any prescribed meds. Also, doesn't mix well with Wellbutrin anti-anxiety/depressant. (personal experience)

Anyway,

Interesting topic haha.

Mushrooms, been there, done that as a teen. @JAJT put into words what I never could about it haha! Especially about the high and low emotions. Sad stuff was the saddest stuff EVER, and I loved EVERYBODY. I was like a puppy that was just so excited to see everyone!

Phenibut: Tried this last year. Weird stuff. Takes away ANY social anxiety. Completely removed my filter from brain to mouth and boy, do I have a lot to say! Like being drunk and lacking inhibitions, but not drunk at all. There's a reason guys use this to pick up women, all fear is GONE. Only lasted a couple of hours for me though. Only side effect was a weird headache. Actually really good for creativity AND productivity. Action-faking is related to fear, and with this there is no fear. If you're serious about a drug for helping your fastlane success, this is good stuff.

Other than that, only weed, nicotine, alcohol. The usual stuff.

  1. I take caffeine and theanine when I need to get my energy levels up on the weekends.
  2. It is like taking a dosed version of green tea.
  3. It gives me a sense of tranquility and focus.

  1. I should note that it is easy to grow dependent on caffeine and theanine to boost energy levels and that it should be cycled to minimize tolerance.
  2. Withdrawal symptoms include headaches, being cranky, and a dip in energy levels
  3. We tend to underestimate the cognitive effects of a good exercise routine and diet
  4. On another note, Creatine also has a positive effect on critical thinking from what I understand
  5. I like Tim Ferris's book called Tools of the Titans, you can get insight into successful people's routines in the book
  6. I am going to experiment with the keto diet in the fall, I read that it helps with mental clarity since there are no highs and lows from sugars and carbohydrates

Most coffee drinkers are addicted to caffeine without realizing it.

The simple way to tell is to stop drinking it for a week. When the horrible headaches kick in and the painkillers barely work you can confidently say you were addicted to caffeine :)

As usual whenever drugs are discussed people's emotional and biased opinions pour out without a thought. "They are bad for you, they will kill you, I will never, blah blah blah.

MJ asked a simply question. Can there be a relationship between psychedelic drugs and business?

So let's try to answer the question not dismiss it because you've been told they are bad for you.

The two most popular psychedelics are mushrooms and LSD. To compare them both imagine that all the information you have ever experience in your life is held back by a dam. Every sensory experience and knowledge is there but it's been held back.

On your day to day you only tap into this informational reservoir through a faucet. All you need is a cup or even a bucket to get through the day.

But once you ingest psychedelics someone just handed you the controls to the flood gates.

Mushrooms is the open all button. You hit that button and all the flood gates open. The information just floods you. You can't pick and choose what information you want to analyze. All the information just tossess you here and there. Like been trapped in a beach with strong waves hitting you over and over again.

LSD on the other hand are the controls that have the buttons to each flood gate number 1, 2, 3, 4. You can pick what flood gate to open and each gate let's in certain information that you are able to think about and analyze. Like a pleasant stream where you just sit there and calmly enjoy the water. Only problem is that you can't stop hitting the different buttons. You go crazy with the buttons but if you can concentrate and prepare beforehand you will be able to concentrate and open only the gate that you want.

The psychedelic that might be the most positive for business is LSD since it's easier to control while active.

Scientists have done studies on psychedelic shrooms and they found out that while active it does connect the brain structures together. Structures that do not connect to one another otherwise.

I can only assume that LSD does the same but you get to choose the connections.

Here's the link if you want to read up on that.

I'm not here to debate drugs being legal/illegal, and interestingly neither will the cop that arrests you. You could flush all your work down the drain over this kind of thing.
This reminded me of the movie, Gotti. He was constantly being told don't break the rules of the Mafia.

If you watch the movie, you'll see one of the rules was not being involved with drugs.

I found this movie fascinating, because he broke the rules, and he landed in a cell. He did what he wanted to do, and his side kick Sammy is the one who brought him down.

You prefaced a statement on drugs saying you don't have much knowledge on drugs.

Drugs r bad?

Hmmm, how was your coffee this morning?

I said i don't know much about "LSD" i started that.
I did not say that i don't know much about drugs that's first correction.
moreover doing drugs is not a good thing which you and i know.
you can google the side effect of LSD and find out yourself.

You may not have said that exactly but it is clear that you do not.

moreover doing drugs is not a good thing which you and i know.

If there is no physical damage to my body and with the aid of substance (lsd/psilocybin in this case) I am able to analyse my path/direction/progress/life in a objective, progressive way, this is bad?

We're not talking about doing a few lines of coke each day to jack up your neurochemicals and have a fun time. For the most part (unless micro-dosing) this is something you can do once every 1-5 years or maybe just one time ever and there have been thousands of reports (albeit, anecdotal) of the experience changing the course of ones life in a dramatically positive way.

you can google the side effect of LSD and find out yourself.

No one, in the history of the world has ever died from LSD, 0 people.

my coffee this morning was good.

*facepalm*
I don't drink coffee.
But I appreciate your honesty nonetheless.

(Im pro drugs, can you tell?)
