This war is not about American profit, for once. It is about Putin's imperialism. Sometimes it is profitable to oppose a devil. You don't think Russian oligarchs profit off war?

I do not deny parapsychology science. But at the same time, I have no idea how sound their research was. We are taking their word for it.

You can stack the deck in your favor, but cards are still random.

You did, but she didn't. You think a girl knows how to inhale 5-MeO-DMT properly? You're kidding. Lower but not zero.

LSD is very coin-flippy for me.

Well, that's what he's doing

If you suddenly became Tom Cruise, you would be freaking out and run to a mental hospital. You are not appreciating how serious it is to lose your entire sense of identity. It is worse than death. Psychedelics do not wipe out all your memories and psyche.

It is just a side-effect of your survival. Your question is like not understanding why surgery hurts. If the body requires surgery, why does it still hurt? Because you are evolved to survive within a very narrow band of situations. Outside those situations your body/mind will react inappropriately. Salvia is not what your psyche has evolved for. So it is scary.

Salvia is excellent when done at the right dose. People are being fools and overdosing on salvia, then blaming the salvia. This is like blaming your car for driving off a cliff at 150 miles per hour.

Conservatives in general are going to be more pessimistic than liberals because they live in harsher survival environments. It is hard to be optimistic in Afghanistan or Somalia. It is easy to be optimistic in Norway or Denmark.

@gengar I think there are very subtle aspects to manifestation. But they are subtle. They are not as brute as imagining a million dollars and it appears in your bank account. Spiritual effects of the mind are subtle. The human mind has a very subtle pull on the material world. New Agers love to exaggerate this pull and invent all sorts of fantasies around it.

No. We don't allow that here.

Of course that can happen. That's very normal. Vaping 5-MeO is tricky because when your technique is poor, you won't inhale the full dose. How lungs absorb chemicals all depends on your inhalation technique. The chemical can get stuck in the throat or mouth, never making it deep into the lungs to absorb. You could also cough it up, etc. There are many variables at play. Also, even at a proper full dose, 5-MeO-DMT doesn't always produce the same trip. Trips can vary significantly just depending on the mood you're in. Higher doses produce more nausea and negative effects. Of course bad trips are possible. One trip could be heaven and the next trip could be hell. There are no guarantees and you cannot control it. Bottom line is, nothing went wrong. This is just how psychedelics work. Make sure your inhalation technique is solid.

Is it stealing if I go into a grocery store, cut a hole in a Coke bottle, and suck it out with a straw?
