21. Ss Responces About Hallucinogen Induced Emotional Changes
1
Yes
I become more melancholy in my feelings.
2
No
Not really.
3
Yes
Again, they are "amplified". If I am in love with someone, I feel infinitely more in love with them. If I have been hurt by a person, I feel REALLY hurt. Sometimes I feel a lot closer to my parents while I'm tripping, but I think that is an individual characteristic of me -- I can't say that EVERYONE loves their parents.

kinder, gentler. More curious. Loving. DOM had the experience of all emotions at the same time.

22
No
Hmmm... usually there is so much thinking that I don't really have "time" for emotions....
23
Yes
well if i'm sad i get happy almost 100% of the time i am really happy when i am tripping usually though, i am in a good mood going into the trip, so there isn't much of a change, just get happier
24
Yes
They become amplified, or sometimes dissappear (which is very weird)
25
Yes
I become more peaceful, more accepting of the nature of things. I also become more assertive when I feel that compromising, opportunistic or other behaviour I find offensive is exhibited.
26
Yes
it depends on environment. usually overreaction to whichever emotion is prevalent in the surroundings- especially paranoia.
27
Yes
I have had several 'bad-trips' where I felt inferior, useless, and impotent to change my situation. This was a long time ago, though. In my more recent HD experiences I have noticed little emotional change.

37
No
Unless you consider terror/paranoia an emotion, they remain essentially the same (tho, of course, responding to the various weird things my senses pick up, distort, and throw at me)
38
Yes
The logical and emotional parts of my mind seem to operate independently of each other. My logical self can see my emotional self objectively, as a separate entity. My emotions seem to stabilize to a constant level of happiness most of the time.
39
Yes
either really happy and thoughtful or paranoid(rarelly)
40
No
-
41
Yes
Generally much more excited, jovial, and fun to be around.
42
Yes
They are intensified and experienced more clearly. It becomes alot more clear what causes each one.
43
Yes
Everything I can imagine, and then some. In other words, I experience a wide range of emotions, with great intensity.
44
Yes
My emotions are under a magnifying glass. If I feel fine, I feel wonderful. If I am around negative areas (dirty areas, bad areas of town) I become very paranoid and very, very scared. I can't control it until the drugs wear off. It's like I either see God and Mother Nature, or I see a demon.
45
Yes
They diminish in intensity. Often I get to the point that I don't even have emotions, in the regular sense.
46
Yes
Let's say amplified not changed. a lot has to do with the emotional state prior to trip.
47
Yes
Intensities change - Also (this goes for hallucinations too) whn on certain substance people pay attention to feeling (Im feeling like that) or perceptions in very special way - normally some emotions or perceptions might go unnoticed, but when on halluci! nogens U scrutinise (I do that) everything.
48
Yes
I become nostalgic (especially about family), I cry.
49
No

50
Yes
Answer: Most of the time they will be stronger. Both the positive and negative emotions. Most of the time strong negative emotions hardly occur at all, unless I'm in the wrong set or setting.
51
No

52
Yes
Emotions become more obviously related to the projection and subsequent interpretation of the experience going on. They become almost fluid and real in the sense that you can almost see and touch them. They have a definite, what appears to be "objective", reality and it becomes a "world" overlaid what we call the physical that you can more clearly observe and interact and create with vs. just a hypothetical abstractive label of different classes of behaviors observed in people (the textbook psychologist models.)
53
Yes
I feel a sense of power due to heightened awareness, which makes me feel supremely confident due to the improved perceptive abilities this heightened awareness gives me. While coming down, I feel as if I have just returned from a long journey with my trip-buddies, and I feel a sense of melancholy because I miss them (when they go home). Also, when I trip at raves I feel a deep affection for all those who are sharing my experience (hence, I like to dress raver all the time now).
54
Yes
I become paranoid sometimes. Extremely elated when peaking. Emotions are much more appropriate and "crisp".
55
Yes
IT SEEMED LIKE A 'BONDING' EXPERIENCE WITH MY FRIENDS
56
Yes
MDMA has shown me love everywhere. LSD, psilocybin, harmaline, and yohimbe had little to no direct effect on emotions. Some of the things I realized while tripping did cause emotional change, but it was an intellectual effect, while MDMA just spontaineously causes them to happen.
57
Yes
seem to be consitantly more happy and carefree
58
Yes
ditto
59
Yes
Absolutely - I can step outside them I can step outside and laugh at my own emotions they become absurd in the aspect that I seem to be so concerned about things that don't even really exist, except for in my mind
60
Yes
the first bunch of times it seemed that i would be very depressed or down after a hard trip. usually i experience the extreme of the emotion. very happy or very confused etc.
61
Yes
I BECOME MORE SENSITIVE TO EVERYTHING...NOT JUST MY EMOTIONS. BUT WITH REGARDS TO MY EMOTIONS THE MOST OBVIOUS THING IS WHEN I LAUGH IT FEELS LIKE THERAPY...A GREAT RELEASE. WHEN I'M GOING THROUGH A NEGATIVE SITUATION...IT IS FAR MORE PAINFUL EMOTIONALLY THAN IF I WAS STRAIGHT. EITHER THAT OR I'M NOT FEELING HOW PAINFUL IT REALLY IS WHEN I'M STRAIGHT. ASSUMPTIONS ASIDE, THEY DEFINITELY ARE EXAGERATED IN COMPARISON TO BEING STRAIGHT.
62
Yes
Often feel the experience, and/or everyday objects, are more important or significant. Sometimes have feelings of paranoia, or pronoia [feelings of conspiracy in my favor]. Often feel joyful, estacy, in harmony with everything.
