I'm not sure if this is going to be true for all, but for me it was necessary to be around greens all the time before I came to truly understand them. Or, at the very least, not be repulsed by them. I still don't use pronouns, but I am considering it just because I have some trans friends now and want them to feel supported. At this point, I am tired of hearing the term "woke". I feel blessed because I live in Portland and I think many are going to miss on some good shit out by living in centrist communities. Go to a green school, join green communities, join a sangha, stay at a monastery, make friends with trans people, etc. I think that's what many on this forum are going to need. We don't change in isolation or by dwelling in echo chambers. It takes humility to learn from people around you.

100% I used to be one of them, by the way, until I moved to Portland and met true green folk that actually knew how to think, many of whom I have come to admire. I still feel that I'm filling into my green shoes. I'll never believe in the woo woo spiritual bullshit that green believes, but I am biased socially and politically, and could care less about yellow. Right now, I think that orange needs to be held accountable for the mess we are in and I think that some need to pay with their lives. This kumbaya mentality towards all members of society can piss off. We need greens with bazookas and AKs. That said, there are also people who know nothing about integral theory or development psychology, that think they hold an enlightened perspective because they see things from multiple perspectives. They claim to be progressive, but demonize woke culture 24/7 as is if it were their job. The enlightened centrist.

Are you saying that free health care is a good idea?

I'd have to think this through some more, but I don't think we necessarily need a conscious society for democracy to work. What we do know, is that the US constitution needs a major fucking facelift to protect against the bullshit we see now. Private and corporate donors, for one, need to be eliminated from eligibility. We need term limits for senators and judges. A major fucking vetting process for workers in all branches of government. This is more complex, but the two party system that we currently have is totally fucking BS. They demonize each other and split the country in half. So depending on who's elected, 50% of the country thinks they aren't being represented. Granted, a lot of this has to do with lack of intelligence on the peoples' parts. Our education system fucking sucks. People have no idea who they are voting for. Many don't understand policy so they vote based on personality or charisma or bullshit like "They're going to take your guns" / "Trans in womens' bathrooms" etc. Anyways, there's a lot that can be done. Just because what we have now did not work, does not mean that democracy doesn't. We have a lot of work to do. Corruption has to be weeded out and we need to find a way to keep it so.

Well said.

This isn't a bad idea. But good luck finding this on the street. Find someone who really specializes in LSD and can tell you what kind of crystal it is, and who the chemist is. I agree with some of what you posted, but it also depends on how you define "good". I like visual, euphoric types. But also, the amount that you take can have different effects. The stuff I have now is great at 250ug. But when you go over 300ug you just get confused as fuck. There are two chemists that I have really grown to trust over the years. But even then, they mix up their recipes, refine them, etc. So the effects change. And sometimes they just have shitty batches.

It drives me nuts.

This is a fantastic explanation. Thanks!

Exactly. My recommendation here would be to go hang out with some kind trans folks for a few months and see if you have the same opinion All I hear on this thread is ignorance

LSD doesn't taste like anything. Liquid LSD is usually mixed with vodka or everclear alchohol for drops so if you take a drop, it might taste like liquor I second the motion about getting an LSD test kit if you're getting it from the street. Or just find Dr. Seuss

I can relate to what a lot of you are saying here because I felt the same wzy. I didn't understand them I thought they were mentally ill I would not use pronouns Since moving to a city with lots of trans people, being around them a lot, them being kind to me, I now support them. I don't care what the reason is, I will be kind and respectful and treat them like people deserving lo love and respect. The same as all of you hjere Part of growing up is love , tolerance and accepting of people who are different from you. Don't forget that

Well, this certainly does seem to be the actions taking place right now https://bsky.app/profile/sarahkendzior.bsky.social/post/3lgsyqiznks2o

One more thing, I gave my close friend some tabs a couple of years ago. He recently took them and said they were week. But these were 150ug tabs. He tends to be aloof, so I'm not sure if it was just him not storing them right, or if it was the LSD. I do remember, that mine from the same batch had started to turn brown over the years. Not sure what that was all about but I never took those ones again.

I have another storage question. What is the best way to store liquid LSD and LSD blotters? I can only find anecdotal evidence on the web so I have no idea. Recently, I took a tab that I had sitting in a dark, mylar bag, for years and I was surprised how hard I treipped given how long it'd been sitting around in my closet. I'm not sure if that even mattered. Now for the real question. I have a vial of liquid in a dark glass that I keep it in the fridge. It is Dr Suess 3.0, I thought I would mention, it is my favorite LSD. And yes, for those that don't know, quality matters, and this is the best. Extraordinarily pleasant and entertaining powerful visuals. Giggles all day! Anyways, the question I have now, should I keep it in the fridge? I'm a little worried someone might come over and do something stupid. I'd feel terrible. Next question, I also have tabs. Should I keep the them in the freezer? I'm afraid they'll get condensation if the fridge breaks or again if someone discovers them. Last question, I have read that LSD on blotter lasts longer than liquid. How is that so? What does seem to be common knowledge, is that light, heat, and oxygen can degrade the molecule. I usually store my shit in an airtight jar with a desiccant and an de-oxidizer packet. But! There there seems to be so much disagreement about how long this shit actually lasts. I have heard people say that they've had LSD that's lasted 20 years. No idea. :SHRUG:
