This is exactly 30mg of 5-meo HCL:

As you can see, not a large quantity. But that dose will knock you to floor and your life will never be the same again.

@AlwaysBeNice You CAN smoke HCL, you just wouldn't want to it. If you're looking to smoke 5-meo, you want freebase.
BTW, it's pretty easy to convert freebase to HCL, and HCL to freebase at home with some basic solvents.
Smoking 5-meo is incredibly fast-acting, and it will hit you like a freight train.
Snorting is gentler, although it still gets crazy-intense after 10 minutes.
HCL can also be used sublingually and rectally. Both methods are worth experimenting with, as snorting tends to waste substance as it drips down your throat. It's not easy to get a full dose by snorting unless you have experience manipulating your nose and really massaging it into the nostrils for a good 10 minutes.
Don't try to snort freebase, it will burn like hell.
My preferred RoA is one that's completely fool-proof, always consistent, and wastes zero substance. Both smoking and snorting are not ideal in this regard.
My best guess is that rectal is the best RoA. But I haven't tested it yet.

@OBEler your batch of 5meo is probably just one of the disphoric confusing batches. Bro. Each batch I have tried has been different each time. 
I got 3 different batches. First batch was extremely weak, confusing. No power at all even though everyone was giving it amazing reviews?? It looked the part. Second batch was wayyyy more powerful, but extremely twisted hellish and disphoric. Third batch was amazing, pure, clear, clean, HEAVEN. I'm currently waiting for my dopamine levels to restabilize to remove any anxiety before I hit up a 27mg trip plugged. Then go for 30, possibly 35/40.
I don't think I could do a breakthrough dose with the disphoric one though. That would be a biggggggg bigger hindrance to my progress

Haha!
Yeah.... that's exactly how the first few trips are.
You gotta push past all that nonsense. You're not even scratching the surface yet.
If you want an easier trip, then plug it. Otherwise, get ready to have your reality obliterated within in seconds.
You don't need to do any more research. We told you exactly what you're getting into here.
If you do a serious breakthrough trip, it's gonna feel like God shot you in the face with a shotgun.
Plugging is the way to go. You guys are unnecessarily freaking yourselves out with vaping.

I haven't found it any harder than integrating insights from a 10 day Vipassana retreat.
Integration is core to all spiritual practice. Do not assume you will just awaken and become an angel without a TON of integration work.
There is more work in integration than there is in having the awakening.
Try doing 30 days of Vipassana and then go spend a week living with your mother and see how that goes. See if you can keep your Vipassana insights while living with your mother.
It's easy to keep your Vipassana insights when you meditate for 8 hours a day in a cave non-stop while someone else prepares your food for you. It's much harder when you have to run a business, raise a family, attract a mate, cook your own food, do your own taxes, etc.

@Arhattobe The psychedelic is a transformative tool. You are judging is improperly when you judged it like so: If it fully enlightens me in one go, then it's good. If it doesn't, then it's bad and useless.
If you're gonna use that criterion, then you should apply it equally to meditation. Like so: if I sit down and meditate for 30 minutes and it fully enlightens me, then I will do it and it's good. But if doesn't, then it's bad and I'm never going to meditate again.
How many meditation sits does it take to become stably awakened? 1000? 5000? 10,000?
Now apply those numbers to psychedelics. So your comparison is fair.
What would happen if you did 1000 trips? Would you become stably awake? If so, you'd beat mediation by 10x.
Why do I have a deeper understanding of metaphysical reality than Shinzen Young, who has 40 years of professional practice while I have less than 5 years of amateur practice? How do you explain that? There's some facts and statistics for ya.
You see, there's more to this than just awakening. You must look at psychedelics as a holistic tool for self-awareness, personal development, and mental health.

Dude, you need to get in touch with why you're going on a date at all.
If you see a cute girl then you gotta leverage your desire for her. Do you want to fuck her or not? If not, then don't pursue it. If yes, then what more motivation do you need? Use your sexual desire to drive the whole interaction. Be very clear with yourself about your intent. You're not there for social games. Immediately get to business. Cut out all the bullshit and time-wasting.
Your mind should be on sleeping with her. A date is one of the few contexts where thinking with your dick is a good idea.
INTENT is a hugely important aspect of game. Work on your intent.

1) Stop looking at girls on Instagram. Most of it is fake, and I don't even mean plastic, I mean photoshop and silly filters. It's just making you feel bad with fakeness.
2) The problem is that at some point you're gonna have to accept your look whatever it is, and aging too. So you're playing a losing battle.
3) Fillers seem pointless to me. If you're gonna do plastic surgery then at least do something permanent like a nose or boob job. Those can be done well if done right, in a subtle way. And they can even improve your self-esteem. Just be careful not to take it too far.
4) Of course girls who use their looks for money will try to optimize everything because it easily pays for itself. If you're even just a waitress a boob job will pay for itself in higher tips within a few years. And if you're a stripper or model it will pay for itself within a month. So it's a no-brainer for those kind of girls.

There are so many hot girls in Vegas that you're not really competing with anyone. Your only enemy is yourself not approaching.
There are a lot of good-looking guys in Vegas. Many guys are ripped as fuck at those pool parties. But not many guys know how to approach hot girls consistently so it's not a big deal.
Train your mind to not even think about competition. Just do your approaches.

You should try a strict elimination diet.
Try eating something very neutral like chicken and rice, or oatmeal for a whole week or month and see if it eliminates the pain and bloating. It should. Then slowly start testing other foods to figure out which foods are triggering the problem.
If you have bloating and gas I doubt your SIBO is gone.

Honestly this is probably the best thing you could be doing.
My breakup advice is almost always the same. Go sit somewhere and do nothing for a while.
Your mind is going to spin all sorts of painful thoughts. You’ll probably cry until you have a headache. All normal.
Just be with your pain. Like the same way you would be with your young daughter if she was going through a hard breakup.

I made a series just for you:
How To Get Laid - Parts 1, 2, 3.
Watch it, then do it.
Online dating is trash unless you look really good.
P.S. You should move out from under your parents and live your own life.

1) Where did you get the idea that Ralston is an extrovert? He has spent a lot time alone. You just have no idea. At one point in his life he lived by himself in the jungle in Hawaii. If you think Ralston needs people to be happy, you don't understand Ralston.
Sadhguru runs a gigantic organization. He's busy 24/7. Of course he is with people a lot. But I'd bet he would also have no problem being alone for years on end.
There is a big difference between what Ralston and Sadhguru are doing and the way Teal uses her inner circle for emotional support. There is a difference between being around people and not needing them for your happiness vs keeping people around to support you emotionally, and if they leave you want to kill yourself. The issue is one of attachment vs detachment. You can be around people in a detached way and it's no problem. Or you can get very attached to people to the point where it destroys you when they leave. This is a problem.
2) Introverts like to be around people too. It's not like an introvert will be satisfied all alone. Introverts socialize, they just do it on a difference scale.
3) My work is primary online. I don't run a spiritual retreat center.

Hello 
I plugged about 6-10 mg on a microscoop. I felt a little bit more “conscious” and wavy but it didn’t send me into any god head mode 
and I carefully watched the plugging video on Leo’s  blog  multiple times to get it right.
I tried to get the syrinage in there until I felt the rubber band but nothing significant happened to my consciousness 
any tips on that ?

and @Leo Gura  do you recommend just snorting it if plugging doesn’t work for me ? 
 
thank you  

My ex-gf had Asperger's. She was pretty chill and easy to get along with, although she had problems with people at work.
She was actually easier to get along with intimately than most girls, who are drama queens.
Asperger's tamps down the feminine chaos. At least that was my impression with her.

Just take a shit. It ain't complicated. But you better do it every time prior to plugging.

Any of the 15-40$ miligram scales are more or less the same. I have had the gemini20 which is the most common one in the "research" scene and right now I use the cheapest one I´ve found (15$) and I found it is the same accurate as the other ones. (All are made in Shenzen lol)
 
The most important thing you have to do is make sure you calibrate it well, and each time you are going to research substances, calibrate it again just in case. If you want total accuracy in miligram scales you would need to go into the laboratoy/proffesional stuff and those ones are ridiculously expensive. You´ll be allright with a cheap one if you remember about calibrating it, and of course do several allergy tests beforehand (doesn´t matter even if you have researched the substance beforehand, if its a new batch, always do allergy test)

I don't think an introvert can be in that state most of the time.
1) I completely turn off my mind. No thinking. No planning.
2) I consciously make myself very relaxed in my body and comfortable. Very present.
3) I force myself to approach lots of people and talk a lot.
4) Having fun friends around you helps A LOT. And then I talk shit with them.
5) Getting a few bad rejections helps build state by showing rejection doesn't matter.
6) I go to the dance floor and dance and enjoy the music.
7) Build momentum throughout the night by constantly approaching and talking.
8) DMT
It's much harder because you won't have enough interactions and there is no music, no friends, etc.
But during the day I find that state is much less important/needed. Just be chill and friendly and not anxious.
If you go out a lot for night game, you can easily carry some of that momentum/state over into day game from the previous night out. This is usually what I did.
Day game is actually a lot easier than night game because if the girl stops, you have her complete attention and you don't need to be some high-energy dancing monkey. You can just have a nice long calm conversation. You can't really have those kind of conversations in loud busy clubs. State is more important for loud, intimidating clubs where everyone but you is drinking and dancing with large groups of friends.

This isn't a humility issue.
I'm super introverted, but I have taught myself to go out to dumb clubs and just have fun with dumb friends on a dumb level.
Learn how to party. You can learn to put yourself into extroverted states. It's good for ya. Also good for getting girls and making friends.

Good. What you discovered is called STATE. State is the key to game. But now you need to learn how to enter state without drinking. It is more challenging but it can be learned. That's where the magic happens. Build up your state each night until you give 0 fucks. Then you will hook lots of girls, and the hottest girls.
You are basically learning how to enter extroversion, where you are completely out of your head. Extroverts can turn on state instantly. Introverts require lots of training.

Hehehe... the notion of "a reality" is a cultural bias. Not to mention: time, space, science, math, self, other, life, sentience, death, mind, brain, language, money, society, country, race, age, pain, good, bad, up, down, and intelligence.
You're grossly underestimating how deep the rabbit hole goes.

All depends on you.
For me waking up is the shit. You may feel otherwise.
It's too profound to speak.
If you understood it, your jaw would drop the floor.

Healthy suffering grows you, you learn the lesson from it and move on.
Unhealthy suffering you bask in and keep repeating without ever growing out of it.

There should be apps you can install that will limit how much time you can watch per day/week. Or only allow accessing YT during limited hours of the day, like 9pm-12am.

Absolutely horrible experiences. I did not fit in AT ALL. I'll definitely work to release that trauma, even though I think worked through it already somewhat, there's probably a lot to do. Thanks!
Yes, that's what I'm trying to accomplish here. I'm trying to make friends specifically to go out with them. The question is HOW! I mean I guess socializing and trying to make friends as much as possible will eventually get me there.
I've actually thought about volunteering in an association, yeah. Seems like a really great way to make friends, possibly for the LGBT association I went to. I'm very young, 26, so it's definitely up my sleeve. Workaway sounds great as an experience but I'm not really sure it's going to help me make friends here in this city.
