In my early 20’s, broke-ass hippie-ish acidhead days, my friends and I made it thru several 12hr long trips without money for smokes by just tricking our brains. We would take straws or broken pencils or whathaveyou, just to hold in our hands while we were frying. IT. FUCKING. WORKED. Every time.
At my age now, and the baggage I hold onto, getting psychedelic is less appealing than it was back then. But it’s not hard to use that headspace to flip switches in your brain. Especially if you’re going into it with that intention.
Ok, you “get it”, then. It’s super hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t experienced psychedelics before.
Once the party aspect of psychedelics wore off, I started using them in a more controlled atmosphere. Actively seeking out and resolving my years of baggage has been a hell of an experience in more ways than one. It’s been extremely healthy, but difficult sometimes. At the end of the day, it has been totally worth it.
For me, psychedelics are perfect for my age. There is a ton of wisdom and experience I have now that makes self-reflection much more productive. Needless to say, ego dissolution has a much more profound impact now than it would of had when I was younger.
And of course, you must absolutely do you. I can absolutely respect that! (Just try to quit smoking, m’kay?)
After 10 years of 1-2 packs a day I quit by being very very angry. The hardest part for me was not the routine (work doesn’t allow me to have a routine) it was the actual hallucinations and headache and physical addiction.
Best is to tell everyone “if I am angry it is because I am quitting smoking“ - rub in in their face, and rub it in your own face. Tread yourself the way a protesting vegan treats others.

This is a path, when used correctly, is awesome. For example, while I didn’t personally think of it as a huge deal, I had to do this when I went to social gatherings after I quit drinking. It annoyed the fuck out of me to have people bugging me about my abstinence. I hated the 20 questions, the people “joking” about offering me shots, etc.
It was just easier to act like a holy-roller, anti-alchohol fanatic for a bit so they would shut the fuck up about it.
Nobody makes a big deal out of it anymore and the people that still do ask me if I am not drinking anymore are generally the people who actually give a shit about me. (I was a serious alcoholic, no doubt. People did have a valid reason to be concerned.)
