What's the difference between trippy & psychedelic?
The two terms can be used interchangeably. My thoughts on defining two of the classic cannabis highs of the 1970's is this: one is more other worldly or heavenly, and one more grounded to the earth and your awareness of your world.
I use trippy for a high similar to a 1970's LSD-25 "trip. LSD altered the thinking process created increased mental activity significantly and increased choices about mental and spiritual decisions. Some say it helped connect with a greater cosmic order and other worldly experiences. I use the term clinical as your increased mental impulses are often psychoanalytic and abstract.
I use psychedelic when the high is similar to psilocybin mushrooms. The effect is more spiritual and euphoric. Your perception of the world changes and sensory perceptions are heightened. Less of a cerebral shift and more an awareness or environmental shift. Your awareness of music, sight, feelings, and touch are heighten. Experience is more grounded and experiential, you might experience your connection to the world as raw energy, Don Juan's definition of "Seeing" or rolling waves of energy, shimmering light, light trails and so on. There is a sense of contentment with life "as it is". In Sanskrit satva means "as it is" or well being.
One difference in the two experiences is trust or "Let it Be" which is a grounded earthy approach, giving up struggling with life rather than constantly psychoanalyzing your world, or seeking out of body and other worldly experiences. This approach often results in too much mental activity for your own good.

!! It seems what we call "Calabrese red"!! It was a lost strain cultivated in deep South of Italy, on the Aspromonte massif 20 or most years ago!! Save this strain or this pheno, it has a great value for cannabis history
