Title: What kind of people take psychedelic drugs?
Post by: LSD Research on December 12, 2012, 03:21 am
I'm doing a research paper and I was wondering if you people can help me out a little.

If you use psychedelic drugs regularly, I would be very appreciative if you would answer the following questions.

Feel free to omit any questions you are not comfortable with answering.

-----------------

1. Give a rough estimate of how often you take psychedelic drugs (e.g. once a day, once a week, once a month, etc)

2. What is your psychedelic drug of choice?

3. What is your favourite genre of music?

4. What are your three favourite bands?

5. Do you drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes?

6. Do you use psychedelic drugs for recreational use?

7. Do you use psychedelic drugs for spiritual use?

8. Do you use psychedelic drugs for self-analysis or self-improvement?

9. Do you believe in any kind of spiritual power (however you personally define it)?

10. Do you believe in fate or predestination?

11. Do you believe in the survival of consciousness after death?

12. Do you believe in the existence of any kind of phenomena that would be regarded as 'paranormal' (telepathy, remote viewing, astral projection, UFOs, etc)?

13. Do you believe that psychedelic drugs have long-term psychological or spiritual benefits?

14. Do you subscribe to a political ideology? If so, what is your political ideology  (liberal, conservative, socialist, anarchist, libertarian, fascist, etc)?

15. Have psychedelic drugs had a negative impact on your life in any way? If so, how?

1. Give a rough estimate of how often you take psychedelic drugs (e.g. once a day, once a week, once a month, etc)
Once a month

2. What is your psychedelic drug of choice?
LSD

3. What is your favourite genre of music?
Classical

4. What are your three favourite bands?
Raffi, ICP, *NSYNC

5. Do you drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes?
I drink on occasion, but rarely to the point of being drunk. I've smoked before, but not in the past year.

6. Do you use psychedelic drugs for recreational use?
Somewhat.

7. Do you use psychedelic drugs for spiritual use?
Not really.

8. Do you use psychedelic drugs for self-analysis or self-improvement?
Yes, and this is the main reason I take them. Psychedelics allow you to see the world from a different vantage point and they're great for personal introspection.

9. Do you believe in any kind of spiritual power (however you personally define it)?
No.

10. Do you believe in fate or predestination?
No.

11. Do you believe in the survival of consciousness after death?
I'd like to think so, but I can't rationalize it in my head.

12. Do you believe in the existence of any kind of phenomena that would be regarded as 'paranormal' (telepathy, remote viewing, astral projection, UFOs, etc)?
No.

13. Do you believe that psychedelic drugs have long-term psychological or spiritual benefits?
Possibly, but they're not the only way to come to these conclusions and using them certainly doesn't guarantee these benefits either.

14. Do you subscribe to a political ideology? If so, what is your political ideology  (liberal, conservative, socialist, anarchist, libertarian, fascist, etc)?
I'm far left on social issues and center-left on fiscal policies. I'm possibly a libertarian in denial, although I'm still not quite sure.

15. Have psychedelic drugs had a negative impact on your life in any way? If so, how?
Not really, although I've had some bad trips that have temporarily put me in a bad place.

16. Do you have a more introverted or a more extroverted personality?
Definitely more introverted, although I can break out of my shell on occasion.

1. Give a rough estimate of how often you take psychedelic drugs (e.g. once a day, once a week, once a month, etc)

LSD

Classical

4. What are your three favourite bands?
Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead

For some people.

15. Have psychedelic drugs had a negative impact on your life in any way? If so, how?
I think the negative effects are also positive. For instance, I find that I am extremely empathetic and sensitive towards people, often painfully so. This is both good and bad.

16. Do you have a more introverted or a more extroverted personality?
Introverted but I wish I was more extroverted.

All of my posts are fiction. It's not like any of those questions are very revealing though, I don't really think LE cares if people who use psychedelics listen to pink floyd or believe in afterlife.

The only potentially incriminating question I see is the "pick your three favorite bands" one, but even that's a stretch. It's not like I have a soundcloud or last.fm account either, so I don't see how LE could track me down solely on the basis of three incredibly well-known bands. 

But because I'm a very paranoid individual, I went ahead and edited it anyway.

LSD

10. Do you believe in fate or predestination?

I've definitely experienced some strange shit but there could well be a scientific explanation for all of it

14. Do you subscribe to a political ideology? If so, what is your political ideology  (liberal, conservative, socialist, anarchist, libertarian, fascist, etc)?
You have to be hear the problem before you offer a solution, I generally lean libertarian though
15. Have psychedelic drugs had a negative impact on your life in any way? If so, how?
Not in any lasting way, made a few dumb choices before I learned how to handle my doses though
16. Do you have a more introverted or a more extroverted personality?
Introverted but finally turning it around, I have psychedelics to thank for that  :)
Thank you !
