Every Entrepreneur Should Try Magic Mushrooms

I took 4-ACO-DMT last weekend for the first time. Incidentally I am an entrepreneur too, having started a consulting business, and now starting a nootropics business. Not that I think that matters, as my mind was able to think in many abstract ways before.
I don't think my perspective changed that much, honestly. I mean I was tripping, and seeing things in a different manner than normal. However, it was not so abstract that I would describe it at a perspective changing experience. I saw shifting colors, patterns, and things like bushes vibrating and all that. I also got lost in my own thoughts for a while, almost living inside them. However, I could do all the beforehand. Perhaps my imagination was unconstrained to begin with. Perhaps I didn't take enough. Or perhaps I am too grounded in logical thought to assign too much significance to pharmacological mechanisms.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the experience. I laughed for hours at all sorts of things with my friend who was also tripping. I saw animals in my backyard that were not there, and stared at planes in the sky thinking they weren't moving. I watched a video of the pig island in the Bahamas, and dreamt about pigs all night. It was fun and hilarious. However, I am still the same person I was when I went into it. I don't look at business fundamentally different now. I don't think more outside of the box than I did before. Maybe I want to go to pig island a little more than I did, but that's about it. Haha
Perhaps I am not allowing myself to assign significance to the experience, or let those thoughts in. Or perhaps they are not there, and all those thoughts are just internal manifestations of what a person needs at the time. Maybe I just needed to laugh about pigs on an island in the Bahamas.
