RE: Revolutionary Clinical Trials Show Party Drug MDMA May Work to Cure Alcoholism

in #health6 years ago

Ah what an mindful way to conceptualize the two different experiences. The very prosocial party-effects is probably the most congruent if a lot of other people in the party is having the same trip. My experience with people drinking is that I get overly emphatic and they get dull, which makes you feel more as an alien then necessary.
But thank you! I will think about the therapeutic mode of the drug, and explore exactly how direct the experience is. I still have a sneaky suspicion that there is a touch of overly sentimental feeling in the alone experience too, but it's sooo much easier to go loose in your sentimentality when you are alone.

Thanks @heartstar :D. Yes, a harmonious group on M together would be a very nice vibe. I've not experienced that (yet)! I have experienced the random party mix of M and alcohol as you describe, and it is indeed different frequencies. But then, for me, alcohol lowers, and M raises, frequency, and it's kinda to be expected IMO.

Being alone exposes the 'overly sentimental' and the 'sentimentality'. I'd loosely call 'sentimentality' all the stuff that may look like, or purport to be, love, but just isn't! Thus when alone on M with healing intention, the false is exposed for what it is, and there is a new space. This can be a very powerful experience of discovery IMO.
