Basically being clutch is being able to perform under pressure <| sep |> It ' s definitely going to be highly subjective , but I can certainly tell you what I ' ve experienced continue to experience . My drugs of choice were mostly mushrooms with some RCs hopefully real acid interspersed . I generally would take any given substance on average three times a month , sometimes taking a month , two weeks , or just one week off before starting the pattern again . This went on for about three years . After a certain point , the trips started getting darker , I became more and more aware of some very ugly aspects of the psyche . At this point I took a several month break and then returned for another mushroom trip which was actually a pretty great experience . After that I still haven ' t touched psychedelics to this day about 3 years , as I just haven ' t felt compelled to . Over these past three years these are the effects which subjectively seem to persist and make themselves apparentPeriods of d e p r e s s i o n D e r e a l i z a t i o n d e p ersonalizationPotentially permanent visual distortions , not really life altering but absolutely noticeable every day . Access to the precognitive domain of spontaneously generated imagery , similar to being able to see a dream within your minds eye at any time that you can manipulate to a certain extent but that also operates on its own accord . occasional feeling based flashbacks , not where I literally have full on flashbacks but I will all of a sudden feel that far out cosy nostalgia of the psychedelic space via some sort of external cue . enhanced creativity great as a musicianLike I said it ' s going to be very difficult to say what sort of effects frequent long term use will have on you , but everyone I ' ve talked to or have heard talk about this have reported lasting noticeable effects of one type or another , positive as well as negative . My advice to you is to slow down and space things out at least a month apart . There isn ' t a good reason not to , you will get more out of the experiences anyways with less overall risk . The stage I ' m in now is interesting , I still feel like I ' m still coming down from some of those trips , looking back at my life , feeling somewhat cynical living in the shadow of years of gloriously transcendent experiences . Anyways .
