I was thinking Musk would just bleed money behind the scenes and leave the site mostly untouched for a while. Seems that won't be the case. I had a huge addiction to twitter for many years and gave it up a couple years ago. So I wouldn't be too upset if the place collapses into nothing.

so it would be totally fine if 21% of people (more than 1 in 5!) who had reassignment surgery regretted it because that's within the typical range of surgery regret?

extensive psychological screening by who exactly? Are they trustworthy? do we place full trust in the authority of whoever "unambiguously determined" something so subjective? "literally no harm is done" by puberty blockers... How does radically interrupting the natural hormone system of a child equal no harm? How do you know that putting kids though such stressful and confusing circumstances at such an important stage of development won't have long-lasting psychological effects for the rest of their lives? it's also an undeniable fact that de-trans people are real. that is far more than "some nebulous unforeseeable consequence". Imagine being convinced for years that you should be one way only to realize you were wrong after you've already made numerous irreversible alterations to your body. Is a growing population of de-trans folks the collateral damage that we have to accept if we want to be trans-inclusive? Is that trade off worth making?

No wigs. Start wearing cool hats instead.

You can do the same thing with other base tryptamines. Put MET or MIPT in your substrate and you'll get 4-HO-MET and 4-HO-MIPT. a cool quality of mushrooms for sure deserving of more study, and possibly a viable route to new psychedelic discovery. but definitely not an efficient way to actually trip on the results (since its such an inefficient method and it'll be mixed with the natural psilocybin in the mushroom anyway).

I used Dall-E to make some art for a single I released a couple months ago. It came out pretty decently. Though I didn't just plug in any old suggestion until i found something I liked, I used the app to generate components of the art that I had in mind and assembled them together in an arrangement i liked.

if youre not going to tell them just take a microdose. if i was a therapist and someone came to a session on a full dose of any drug without telling me I'd probably reconsider having that person as my client. Don't force people to be trip sitters without consent.

You're paranoid af, this would not be viable in the US but Canada is not the US. This has been going on for years with tens of thousands (more?) of customers across the country. They are so reliable that many of these sources are MORE trustworthy than the darkweb. The place I order mushrooms from even had their founder share his real name and do an interview about his growing techniques. Of course scams do still exist and need to be watched out for, but drugs are basically de-facto decriminalized in Vancouver. Nobody is getting arrested for psychedelics here. Come to Canada and visit the psychedelic promised land.

It's completely safe as long as you order domestically. There are dozens of legit clearnet vendors who've been operating for years in a similar way to how cannabis was sold in Canada online for years before it was legalized. In Vancouver stickers advertising mushroom and LSD websites and dispensaries are practically on every street corner.

You can order most psychedelics on the clearnet in Canada. I don't know how they get away with it. I guess the laws just aren't enforced.

Tried it a few times this week and mostly just got some swirly colors. My pupils were dilated completely, I could see increased symmetry in textures, and some moving and warping and color enhancements, but not much really happened beyond that. Obviously I got a relatively weak dose, but I did have a fair bit of anxiety built up about smoking the dmt, and how chill it turned out to be at the dose i got helped to reassure me that i didnt need to worry as much. I wouldnt say it was a letdown, because I still enjoyed it, but it definitely was not a significant enough experience to convince me that DMT might be preferred over mushrooms or LSD since this small dose didn't bring me any insights or anything. It was like the visuals of 3 grams of mushrooms for 15 minutes, but the headspace of like half a gram, so it wasn't as radically reality altering as I had been bracing myself for. I definitely plan on going deeper, but I'm glad the lower dose went as well as it did. Was a good place to start.

If youre posting on this forum the education part is mostly repeating things you already know, as far as that aspect is concerned it is definitely aimed more at psychedelic naive people. But I think the true value of this doc is contained in the footage of therapy sessions and the testimonials of the participants. There's some very inspiring stories of healing especially in the 3rd episode about MDMA therapy, that was by far the highlight of the series for me.

Not everyone gets nausea and vomiting. My San Pedro trip was three quarters a great time, and one quarter explosive diarrhea. Also it tastes horrid. The human body was not built to digest cactus. I would like to try pure mescaline to compare however, because i suspect a lot of the digestive issues come from the fact that there are a ton of other alkaloids in there for your body to deal with beyond just the mescaline.

I've been mulling this over myself as a virgin who's starting to date more often. I think the decision I've come to is being honest about my relationship history (or lack thereof) which will likely give the girl the impression that I'm probably a virgin without saying it directly. I think the only time I would say it outright is if the girl directly asked, if it came up in conversation somehow where it would be weirder to avoid saying it.

@RMQualtrough I haven't tried Salvia but I think I can safely say that weed is nothing like salvia for me haha. Weed is generally blissful for me, and the state it puts me in allows my mind to get in a flow of thought and deep introspection. I've brought myself to many beautiful epiphanies through weed that have helped me to put the pieces together when dealing with some personal issues. It also allows me to feel free to dance and move. (I prefer energizing sativa strains, and like to go on long nature hikes with music when I smoke weed). I also find that it can take on characteristics of the most recent psychedelic I took, and it combines especially wonderfully with LSD. When I have a low tolerance I can get mandala-live visual patterns with both eyes open and closed, as well as enhanced colors and everything takes on a hazy warm glow. That being said it works well for me, but I don't think weed is an essential psychedelic because only a relatively small percentage of users will actually gain consistent positive spiritual benefits from it (and plenty of people get uncomfortably high their first time smoking weed and so dont pursue it further).

If you reached a breakthrough on weed I wouldn't be too shocked. I could probably reach it if I took a sizeable tolerance break (and even with my typical tolerance I can still go pretty deep with weed on a regular basis). In my observations of myself and others ive got the impression weed can have the potential to function almost like a reactivation trigger of some sort in psychedelic users. So if youve gone really deep on something else that will be able to be recalled to some extent. This is exaggerated further if you have zero tolerance, have very high quality weed, and also the closer to a recent psychedelic experience you smoke the weed (when I smoke weed the day after a strong LSD trip I will be fully tripping again).

I think you're just kidding here, but if anyone seriously wanted to try this I'd advise against it because self-administering drugs into your dick would be a great way to give yourself priapism.

plenty of good tips in this thread so far, but I'll add that you shouldn't go in with huge expectations especially if you're just starting with a low dose. It's totally possible you may be underwhelmed. Don't rely on all your problems being solved by one trip or something like that, I sometimes see people going into first-time psychedelic experiences with that expectation and then end up disappointed. It takes time and practice to get good at working within those states.

5g but they were weaker shrooms. My deepest mushroom trip to date was on about 3.5g. The weight is not always an indicator of how strong the trip will be!

Don't know if it's accessible to you but what's called a "PSILO-Q" Magic Mushroom Test Kit is available in Canada. I haven't used it because I get whole mushrooms most of the time, but the vendor I use tests their mushrooms with this kit to list their potency so I presume it works decently well.

Just take smaller doses if you don't want as much mindfuck.

I've seen some forums allow saying the name of the vendor without directly linking them. Maybe that could work. It is frustrating to advocate for things and then not be able to share how to obtain it. Allowing discussion of sourcing would be extremely helpful in helping people not get scammed by shitty vendors so it would be better to allow it for that reason. But the potential legal issue makes it such a grey area.

I think that there always have been gender-non conforming people throughout history, but the expression of this would be affected by the developmental stage of the era. The idea of a transgender person (or even a gay person to a lesser extent) as we understand it today didnt even exist in the possibility space for people until roughly the 20th century. these ideas have only really taken hold in mainstream culture with the increasing dominance of green. I agree that gender and sexuality can be transcended because doing so allowed me to work though gender issues I struggled with years ago, but most people aren't going to do that for the same reasons most people don't do spiritual work, so it's not a very helpful thing to point out to most people. the view "transcending your gender/sexuality is possible" could also be misinterpreted as "pray the gay away", which is not going to help mutual understanding in the slightest.
