the afterglow is the part I keep coming back for, not the trip itself
took about 4 experiences to realize this about myself.
the trips are fine, sometimes good, occasionally uncomfortable. but the 2 or 3 days after a 2g session are the thing I actually look forward to. everything feels slightly less urgent. I sleep better. I'm more patient with people in a way that doesn't feel forced.
last time was about 6 weeks ago. nothing dramatic happened during the trip, sat in my backyard for 3 hours, some visuals, a few thoughts that felt important in the moment and kind of obvious by morning. but the following monday I was at work and someone said something that would normally send me into a 2 hour spiral and I just... didn't. responded and moved on.
I don't know if that's the point for most people or if most people are chasing the experience itself. curious whether others use it more for the residual effect than the trip or if that means I'm doing something wrong with set and setting.
