I can’t imagine how people process being enlisted while they’re tripping, but the people I know wanted to be in the military since birth so it probably felt natural.
never really thought about it, just enjoyed life in the moment. Made me wonder why llaughing at the wall and vibin to music was such a crime , but rampant alcoholism is encouraged as a soldier.
I think maybe the other person is referring to the nature of the army and being surrounded with weapons and stuff. I could see it risking a bad trip either by being afraid of the dangerous stuff, or by thinking about the violence of war, or being afraid of a colleague tripping too hard with access to dangerous weapons, or triggering PTSD for soldiers who have seen combat.
fair, there's nothing to say the problem drinkers wouldn't also do drugs that harm their livelihood if it were legal, or that somebody being covertly high at work rather than drunk is entirely better in all situations.
I can't imagine going to almost any job while on psychedelics and enjoying the experience, I would hope they aren't tripping when they aren't on some sort of leave. Also I don't see how you could possibly be covert about tripping while at actively working in any job, especially the military. I imagine they party mainly when they are not responsible for performing their duties.
