When I get blazed I get extremely inspired, motivated, and interested in my life and the world around me. I make simple but very powerful realizations about my approach towards life and understand that I should be living for the moment, staying true to myself, and just ruthlessly pursuing my surface goals while keeping the big picture in mind at all times.
But...when I'm sober and it's time to put the plans into action, the thoughts and ideas just don't seem so inspiring any more. They seem sort of lifeless and dull, like there's no energy to them.

i know what you mean but there isnt a short easy answer i can give you to your question, you have to train your mind to love life when sober through personal experiences, i suggest possibly a psychedelic experience. theres an afterglow can linger for a long long time and has helped me realise how wonderful life is even when sober.

Weed has brought me a true epiphany one night. It was the strangest realisation, one that came to me without me wanting it to. I really found the epiphany frightening and difficult to take in, but I knew it was all the truth.
When I was dating my ex, I went to my buddy's house, and hadn't smoked in over two weeks. This was the first time to take a long break for me. He loaded me about 4 bowls right off the bat just for me, was like "man you never come around anymore, come chill more often."
I rip them, and then I get too stoned. I've never been too stoned, it started feeling hallucinogenic almost, like i could hear music in my head and shit (in the background) it was odd, and then I started thinking about my relationship and it really tripped me out, thinking about how horrible the situation was and how much I didn't love or trust her, it really freaked me out because I realized I was suppressing all of my feelings. I thought the herb was dosed with something, which I asked if they put anything in it, and they said no. he'd pulled it out of his big jar too, after it was rolling around the table. Still don't know if it was or wasn't dosed, maybe had some that JWH JHW-18 or whatever it is on it which could make the trip uberpotent especially if you aren't prepared for it. I haven't had that stuff yet though so I don't know.
I do remember though, it was difficult to be there because the realizations and missing who I was, missing being my own person and living life was all coming back to me. I had to leave, I ended up leaving, though it was difficult to drive, nothing like I've ever felt before. I generally wait to drive but in that paranoid state I had to leave. I went to hang out with her, and just felt awkward around her the entire time because of the thoughts I had had.
All those realizations, that was 4 months into the relationship, if I had just listened to that epiphany, though I knew the entire time after that the relationship was wrong, if I had listened to them I could have saved a lot more money and my time and I could have been a lot happier.

*Fixed
double fixed. But on a serious note just because mushrooms aren't the experience for you doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone. I can safely say that lsd was the tamer, more enjoyable of the two. however sometimes the uncomfortable thoughts, feeling ect that come from a mushroom trip are more valuable.

I came to class stoned out of my mind every day, i chugged vodka in the back of class, i put dead fish in the ceiling tiles. i put a gallon of old milk and orange juice in the file cabinet before winter vacation. i brought snakes in a tied up sweater and let them loose during class. i didnt go to school to learn, i went because i had to. i didnt care, and i didn't fucking listen to that stupid bitch. and i still don't fucking care. i tore the pages out of her books and burned them, and threw away all the books in the class, two books per day.
