No, if you are an addict you should be treated as a medical patient and not a criminal

Decriminalization is absolutely under the scope of a thread about drug legalization. At least if you want to have any kind of nuanced discussion anyway The last three paragraphs of my post were just my general opinion on the issue and weren't really a response to you anyway, that wasn't so clear, sorry.

Decriminalization of all drugs has been shown to be extremely positive in various countries. You shouldn't go to prison because you ended up addicted to heroin or coke. Nor should you go to prison for being found with a couple tabs of acid in your pocket. It's a nuanced issue, and your initial response of "no this is a fucking shit idea" is probably what riled up that dude. It's not a simple issue with an easy answer. Most people here are particularly concerned with psychedelics anyway, since many of us have had such positive effects. I don't think anyone is advocating for the legalization of buying some heroin in your local corner store. Most common psychedelics are non-addictive and non-toxic. The dangers come from misusing them, or from the substance not being what it was advertised as. My argument would be that legalizing psychedelics to a degree would essentially fix both issues, by introducing regulation/awareness/standards for use. Basically preventing it from being sold as something it's not and preventing people who are likely to have intense negative reactions from taking them.

React was released in May 2013, the first Wayback machine snapshot of Actualized.org is also coincidentally in May 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130520193322/http://actualized.org/ Seriously doubt Leo would use such a new framework at the time. Plus React is also kinda overkill for a site like actualized.org

You should pretty much always order from the same country you are in if possible. Domestic packages are almost never going to be inspected or seized in any Western country. The more international borders something crosses, the more attention it draws.

A really big one I've noticed is dilated pupils

It's pretty difficult to change facial aesthetics, hair, age, or the shape of your frame e.g. what gives you a nice waist/ass/legs. Many people are also far more genetically prone to being overweight. It's very possible to be genetically extremely disadvantaged when it comes to looks, no matter how much effort you put into self-care. And that affects women much more harshly than guys.

This was so gross when I did it. Eugh

Huh? I don’t understand what you mean lol

I think this is a little too black and white. Yea, girls like strong guys, but you see plenty of girls attracted to or dating guys who are not bullies, cocky or selfish I can kinda feel the bitterness in your post and I think it is an unhealthy mindset that you should try to avoid

Dude, it ain’t her fault you creeped her out, calm down

You shouldn't really be talking on the dance floor. The dance floor is for dancing. If you wanna talk you take her somewhere else in the club where it's quieter

Your mindset here should be "let her do what she wants, if she cheats then I know I can find another girl and it's no big deal" Ask yourself, if you truthfully thought you could find another girl within a month of breaking up with this girl, would you feel insecure about her going away on this trip? Probably not. You'd feel like it was her loss, or that it just wasn't meant to be.

IMO it's better to just go out and go for same night stuff. You get clean obvious rejections from girls rather than ambiguous or flaky texts which are very draining to mentally process day to day. I would bet flaky girls have probably caused male suicides in the past, it's that frustrating for guys to deal with. You're not alone. But you really just gotta be a man and learn to deal with it. Lower your investment in text convos if you have to have them. You shouldn't care how the convo goes. Just say whatever is in your head, don't spend ages thinking of what to say. If she's interested it will happen

Shamanic breathing just makes me hungry as a motherfucker. Like food has never tasted so good as it does after 30 mins of that shit. I have no idea if this is a unique to me experience or not but it's all I remember from doing it a bunch of times a few years back

My work bought me one of the new M1 Macbook Pros as my work laptop. I thought I'd have issues with compatibility since it's ARM but I haven't had a single issue. And it's super speedy, super quiet and super sleek. Plus, the screen is better than any screen on any other device I've ever owned in my life But it's easy to be a fan when you aren't footing the bill of a Macbook

Fixed

It's not gonna actually poison you in hallucinogenic doses, it's just gonna be a miserable time. It feels like you're being poisoned. You can't do spiritual work if you're too busy vomiting and feeling pain in your body. I mean they're illegal pretty much everywhere, but most countries won't give you in much trouble for having a personal dose. Maybe your country is different, though. In my country (UK) it'll just get confiscated. And your chance of getting caught is really really small if you aren't dumb about it.

When it comes to psychedelics, you are honestly better doing your own research for questions like these rather than relying on people here. But I will answer nonetheless: Yes, you can eat the whole seeds themselves but it will make you quite sick. They also taste awful. You can also grind up the seeds, soak the powder in lime juice for a few hours, mixing every 20 mins, then strain the liquid to remove the seed powder. Then mix the remaining liquid with some orange juice or something and drink it. This is a very basic extraction of the LSA (the active compound, similar to LSD but less potent) that removes some of the stuff the makes you nauseous. I mean, it won't hurt you unless you take a crazy high dose, but it will make you more nauseous than most other traditional psychedelics. I was never able to take them without being sick. Depends on the dosage. If you take enough then yea, but the more you take the higher the body load and the more sick you will feel. But to get a trip on the same level as a tab of acid you'd need to take a lot. Can't speak for Leo, but personally it was a lot of effort for a shitty trip that made me very nauseous. The only benefit is that they are legal-ish and easy to order online. You'd be better off just finding some traditional psychedelics. Is there a reason you can't do that?

It would actually be dangerous for Leo to offer advice on mental health issues when it is not something he specialises in.

I did feel good when I took a microdose of LSD and went out, felt super aware and alert. But I notice that after heavier trips, I tend to experience heightened social anxiety if anything so yea, I think a full dose in a club would be a bad idea. I'm going to a techno/trance festival in October and my plan is to get a DMT vape pen set up for that. Should be dope.

It's something I've been curious about. I am not talking about a large dose, more of a microdose or something like 10-40µg. Obviously more than that would be quite silly in a club environment. Would you recommend it? Anyone got any experiences? Thanks

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura#Psychoactive_use Read this. Basically, it has spiritual use if you're an indigenous tribe with extensive experience in safe preparation and consumption. Otherwise, it should remain a pretty flower in your garden Go find yourself some acid

It made me feel like I was hungover for days when I tried it. Plus it's disgusting to eat in the first place. Gave me mild psychedelic headspace for a bit but no visuals or anything close to that. I also tried Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds which have the same active compound, they made me super sick but did actually have reasonable-ish psychedelic effects. Nothing comparing to traditional psychedelics but it was something at least.

Just a friendly reminder that if you go out to bars/clubs, be careful with your belongings On Saturday night some fucker pulled my bank card out of my pocket and spent £80 on it the next day, lol. Bank will refund it so no big deal really, but could have been worse if I was carrying cash, or if it was my phone. Funnily, the guy used the card 5 times in the same shop on the same day, and they recognised him when I asked about it. Was an old dude with a Russian accent apparently. Quite funny in some ways
