This is one of my all time favorite pieces of music. Such an intense composition that you don't need any drugs for it to put you in an altered state. This was also the soundtrack to one of the most incredible scenes in Twin Peaks The Return (episode 8). Not one I'd likely choose to trip to but I think it would have played out much differently knowing what was coming than it being a surprise.

This is irresponsible advice that could cause harm to someone who is more naive about using these substances. Someone says "I had a bad trip, and these are the mistakes i made that caused it" in a thread about making mistakes, and you basically say "no you didnt". If I wasn't already experienced with psychedelics and knew how to handle myself that could have been a traumatizing experience (and like I said, I *would* have stuck it out had other people not gotten involved). You don't know what I was experiencing or my circumstances. No awakening experience was possible on this occasion for all the reasons I listed and more I didn't because I'm not going to detail all the events of my personal life on this forum. My set and setting were poor, and I did learn from it.

Hamilton Morris has said that he tried several of them years ago when they were initially gaining notoriety, including JWH, and while he had positive experiences he emphasizes that these substances are extremely difficult to dose properly, and very easy to overdose on. many are active in the microgram range. it's also very difficult, if not next to impossible, to confirm you are getting the cannabinoid you want because there is no regulation or any easy ways for casual users to confirm what the substance is. JWH seems to be regarded as the least harmful of these, but chances of you actually getting ahold of it and not some other more gnarly substance are slim to none. The side effects from repeated are severe. and unlike regular weed they hold little to no spiritual value. Basically there is no point in consuming them when normal cannabis already exists. Stay away.

I was tweaking the fuck out like a crackhead that's not a "sit with your discomfort the trip will get better" type of thing. I've been tripping for years, I can tell the difference between a normal trip where things get uncomfortable and a "shit is going off the fucking rails" trip with cascading physical side effects and panic-attack-like reactions. it went off the rails for all the reasons I mentioned, hence why they were mistakes. and especially once family members who disapprove of tripping got involved I had no choice but to abort the experience (if it hadn't been for that I would have stuck it out).

A few weeks ago I took 3.5g of mushrooms from a batch I was unfamiliar with (mistake #1, should have tested a low dose from this batch first), when I was already feeling sick with a cold (mistake #2, colds reduce your body's ability to feel pleasure). I had just had an exhausting day at work (mistake #3), and I took the dose after eating dinner (mistake #4 having a full stomach made the shrooms kick in more slowly and unpredictably). I was thinking the cold wouldn't make much difference to the trip, but my sick feelings became amplified and made me feel extremely terrible. I was completely couch-locked and my mind was really numbed out, so I drank some really strong caffeinated tea to try and get my energy up (mistake #5) and I smoked some weed hoping that would boost my mood (mistake #6. the weed was also a really mediocre strain which was mistake #6.5), but it just made me over-stimulated on top of being sick, and the bad feelings kept getting worse and worse. I felt like I was on a runaway train that kept speeding up and getting ripped out of my body (and definitely not in a good OBE kind of way). I felt horrible and was tweaking the fuck out. I suddenyl had a ludicrous amount of energy and mostly neutral to bad feelings, so I was just running around my house at full speed and kind of having a mini-freakout. I knew nothing I took would kill me or hurt me long term so I was able to not panic too much, but it was maybe about an hour or two after the effects had fully come on that I recognized that this trip was a complete failure and not only would there be no salvaging things but that the bad tweaked-out feelings were only rapidly getting worse. So for the first time ever I took a benzo to abort the trip (though I had to contact a family member who was ignorant and disapproving of my use of psychedelics to get ahold of one which was humiliating, and has now caused significant family drama in regards to my drug use which I would have really rather avoided), and even still it took almost an hour for the benzo to kick in so I still had to bear the bad trip for a while longer. So yeah on this occasion I made a lot of mistakes that I won't be making again that's for sure.

why do people need their accounts deleted? just stop posting and leave.

I'm not reading through all 40+ pages of this thread so maybe this was already talked about, but in my view placing your attention on writing and reading posts on a forum is inherently consciousness-reducing, so claiming to be "awake" while doing so is kind of contradictory.

From scratch maybe not, but i think it could be possible to train the AI on an actor and then instruct the AI to exaggerate or modify certain characteristics, so potentially we could get AI Pacino that's *more* Pacino-y than the real thing. Or have an AI trained on multiple actors and then combine the outputs. Like why not combine Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt into one ultra-celebrity, heck we could have different Cruise-Pitt iterations each with a different balance of each actor, 35% Tom 65% Pitt and so on.

I always find I fret until I take it. but once it kicks in I forget I was ever worried.

I saw a talk a while back which I'm looking for and cant seem to find again where the speaker presents research that higher EPA to DHA ratios gave the best results compared to equal amounts of EPA and DHA or ratios where the DHA was higher. Currently I get "triple strength" omega 3 supplements, cus they have more EPA and DHA than the others. (600mg and 300mg respectively, and I'll take 2-3 capsules)

yeah me too. and I agree with it being a distraction, but a frustrating one since it's a super pleasurable state to be in so it's often hard to pull away from it to change the direction of the trip. Like if I'm tripping with the purpose of gaining insights and instead I fall into a horny hole for most of the peak then that trip was, in spite of being enjoyable, ultimately kind of a failure.

Mushrooms are good for healing. just seriously contemplate your problems while youre tripping.

Dont take drugs if you dont know what they are. a quick websearch tells me that if its not 2CB it could be some kind of cathinone (aka bath salts), or maybe ketamine mixed with some other stuff. no drug is normally pink that's some marketing BS by the people who threw this stuff together. fuck that.

No way to judge the potency of changa compared to pure synthetic since you cant know the dose of dmt you're taking. So just start small and try increasingly larger doses each time.

Definitely have had both mushroom and lsd trips in my dreams. though usually the dream is in the context of taking the dose at an inopportune time like before work or something, and then it's kicking in while i'm supposed to be taking care of some responsibility.

When Leo makes posts like this I sometimes imagine while reading it that I am a student of martial arts and Leo is the wise old master. We spar during training and I think I'm holding my own. But then Leo stops to put a blindfold on himself, ties his hands behind his back, and then proceeds to use nothing but his pinky toe to annihilate my entire universe.

Not fear mongering, just being realistic. It's a possibility, just not one that the vast majority need to be concerned about however. We may have evolved to use the damn thing, but we did not evolve to use the damn thing 20 times a day, high on meth or whatever else, watching porn every waking hour of every day. Guys like that are out there. If you think their dick is coming out of that unscathed you're fooling yourself. Anyway, my main thought is that it's your dick and you want it to work as best as it can, so you should treat it with respect. Sometimes masturbation is treating it with respect, sometimes it's not. It's all about having a healthy relationship with your own body and sexuality. for some men that means eliminating porn or reducing masturbation, while for others it doesn't.

You can damage your dick by jerking off too much. That's a good reason to be moderate with your wankin'. Tho you'd probably gotta be on the far extreme end of the frequency bell curve for that to happen (stimulant addicts who watch porn all day for example). Most guys concerned about jerking off too much are not on that level, but they're out there.

I can't top anything that's already been posted, cus my "worst" things are mostly kinda silly. I ate a grapefruit during my first really epic LSD trip and it was amazing. I recall having the thought that this "grape"-fruit was really a "great"-fruit, and that brought me much joy. So I decided to eat another one the next trip. But the 2nd time I was impatient and ate it during the comeup, and then almost immediately felt my stomach say NOOOOO, I ran across the room to the door to the backyard but couldn't make it in time and projectile vomited the entire contents of my stomach across the room. So then I gotta spend my first hour peaking on 350ug while cleaning up all my barf off the floor. I then had the thought that this "grape"-fruit was actually a "not-so-great"-fruit, which made me laugh my ass off and feel like the situation was the punchline to a joke that the first trip had started.

My parents are Keto& sugar free (as much as possible anyway), and in the process of eating their many artificially sweetened desserts, the conclusion Ive mostly drawn is a thumbs down in terms of taste. Maltitol and Monk Fruit are the most palatable (but maltitol can cause diarrhea, so Monk fruit is the winner). But honestly I'd prefer to just eat unsweetened things rather than the weird icky-sweet tastes of the alternate sweeteners. What would be a massive game changer would be Left-handed Sugar. It's literally just the sugar molecule mirrored, but because biology evolved to adapt to right-handed molecules our bodies cannot process it, BUT it still behaves exactly like sugar in every other way and tastes exactly like sugar. The only reason it's not used is because it's extremely expensive to produce at a commercial scale because nature REALLY wants all sugar molecules to be right-handed. But one day I could envision a breakthrough allowing it to go mainstream, since it would be what all artificial sweeteners wish they were: 0 calorie sugar that tastes normal and doesn't affect blood sugar.

Good decision. far too often I come to this forum looking for a 2nd tier perspective on things, and then end up getting sucked into wasting my time reading a thread full of drama and immaturity or whatever else. If I wanted to read facebook-level discussions then I'd go on facebook.

My friend did this combo and had his ass handed to him. He even went to the hospital cus he was freaking out (they gave him a placebo telling him it was a benzo and told him to go home and he was fine after that lmao). Made me a bit unsure if I want to try the combo out for myself. Might be better off just taking a higher dose of lsd or mushrooms rather than crossing them. Maybe I might try a double microdose one day to see how they interact at a lower dose. Like a quarter tab plus half a gram or something.

if youre ok with plugging oil then that would work fine. and tinctures are themselves just oils themselves so you can use the same product for both sublingual and for plugging, find the most potent per ml you can find of a good quality tincture and you'll be set. probably should be sure to use 2 different droppers for each method though . My prediction is that because both sublingual and plugging methods bypass the liver's conversion of THC to 11-ho-thc (the edibles effect) the effects from both would be similar in effect. maybe differing rates in how fast the kick in or minor stuff like that but both would be a pretty pure thc experience. You can find nearly flavorless oils btw, so sublingual doesn't have to be that unpleasant if you dislike the taste of weed. I think sublingual would be better just because you can consume more at once. If I want to have 3 droppers worth of oil at once (what i would take for a very strong effect) i can easily fit that in my mouth, but going for more than 1 dropper worth of plugging might be too much to ask.
