It's not that there are some evil commpanies or people pulling the strings from behind. There are many factors drawing it out to the situation we are finding ouerselves in. Think about the following: Ukrainians don't want to be bullied into submission from a mafia like country that denies openly their cultural, political and economic integrity and they want to participate in the western system for the benefits in the afore mentioned areas and their developmental perspectives. Also keep in mind that in the first part of the invasion destroyed a big part of the ukraine, killed innocent people, plundered cities and raped their women. So more of this is expected in terretories which the russians might gain and it's the ukrainian govorments duty to prevent that from happening. However I don't think ukraine can win but they have too much sacrificed to lose too. So they have improve their situation for the negotiations by giving russia some kind of strategic defeat. They are also under huge pressure from the donator countries to get some results in the south so they have to put their people in the meat grinder. But instead of the russians (they have finally improved that as well) they also try to minimize casuslties hence they don't break through. An the other side the russians think that they will capture the annexed terretories eventually in 2-3 years and they as a former superpower can't let a defeat ever happen. So they invest more and more ressources and seem to increase their military production a lot which btw europian countries still haven't. The russians are also afraid of ukraine joining nato if they lose and the conflict is solved in the ukrainians favour which was one of the reasons for the war at the beginning. There are more reasons from the russian perspective which contradicts other perspectives like protecting russian people. Leo has explained that very well in a thread a year ago, you can find it. In this conflict are so many interests involved that go beyond the things I mentioned but this more or less explaines why still fighting is going on. There are companies like the military industrial complex that drive the conflict on a lower level though but this has to fit in the context I explaint to get a better picture. But there are also coorparates in the economy that would more profit from peace. So one has to keep that in mind too. @mojsterr what's your opinion about that?

I just smoked the pure leaves and got a good trip for a few minutes and didn't expect much. I honestly just wanted to relax and get the cannabis like high of a low dose as experienced before a few times but this time was different. I smoked just a little puff and not the whole bowl and got an slightly dmt like trip where objects started to change shape and everything seemed like having a presence and everything got a slight greenish taint and I got a lot more conscious and I remembered that I could have breakthrough. It was like an invitation that I politely declined. It surprised me a bit because I cleaned the bong and didn't expect that from the pure leaves especially that only happened before when I mixed it with dmt. So that was quite interesting and reminded me of not taking it too lightly and respect it then it will respect you back because it somehow has a life of its own. These breakthroughs are different than on extract. Imo extracts give you the maximum experience with mostly non spiritual value whereas this roa gives you more insights because you don't forget everything and won't get catapulted into another dimension. If you close your eyes you can expect fractals and landscapes though.

I second the first two paragraphs. I don't like to tell this but if you look at the maps, the places were the battles are fought you see its not even the first line of defense were they were repelled. The things is that even if it's slow the russians still inch their way ahead therefore will probably achieve their goals because every inch they conquer ukraine has to get back some way and both sides know this. In many parts of ukraine the russians are still advancing and already a quater of their forces are comitted and some of them are heavily damaged. They broke at the first defensive line and are outgunned by artillary and air. Also the ukrainian army doesn't want to kill 50k soldiers as the wagners did with the prisoners so they have to be more caucious. Militarywise they need far more air defense systems and artillery or it's a waste of lives. The things is that the russian air strikes over the whole country caused two things. The first is that the ukrainians run out of ammo of their s300 air defense systems and the second thing is that this threat caused that most western air defense systems are spread across the country protecting infrastructure and they haven't either enough to deploy at the front nor do they want to because this could bring those expensive and rare items into striking range. The only place were they really advance and pose a threat is around bakhmut were the russian haven't had much time to prepare the defenses. I hope they can soon use they dried dnjepr river for ofensive actions. However I hope that they still manage to make some gains or pull something off. Maybe I'll have some time the following days to give you a detailed report.

I chewed leaves. You have to chew a lot and spit then out and repeat until you've done a few grams. It's quite disgusting. the trip is super smooth though. Things start to warp you are in a more psychedelic state unlike when you smoke it. I didn't go deeper due to the bad taste of the dried leaves. I heard that you can biy extracted fluid and use it sublingual which should work far better.

@Soul Flight use as little white vinegar as possible. Freebase is poorly water soluble hence converting it into salt via vinegar. you are right with the importance of hitting the right depth injecting it. Put rubber band around number six on the scale of the one ml siringe and that should be how deep you'll insert it. You might adjust it a little for your body though. Don't inject too past, let it slowly trickle. You should notice 10 mg, if not adjust the depth and you position. Your butt should point up like a dog on its 4 feet. No soda needed. Slowly up your dose from 10/15mg in 5 mg steps. Some might end up with 40mg. Watch this video: https://www.actualized.org/insights/how-to-plug-psychedelics I wouldn't plug nn dmt on your place because you will need rediculesly much and waste substance. Consume some with harmalas but never consume 5 meo dmt with harmalas. It's too easy to kill yourself if you're not an expert and even then...

You can try it but if you get too stressed it won't be worth it if it makes you sick. It will most probably work for a certaint amount of time while you're in your twenties. I worked and went to night school for 2 years to get access to universities and it sucked. I had maybe one day a month off to see friends because I was learning, was sleep depraved and gained almost 15 kg because I had no time to prepare food. At least I had good collegues and friends at school. I liked my job so I extended my contract longer and longer. Finally I had to work far less and a different job because I the stress stressed out my nervous system and I got autoimmune disease.

@Leo Gura I've got a question offtopic. Is sourcing still not allowed, if one could buy researchchemicals labeled not for ingestion legally in a shop at a location in a country? Thx in advance.

@Yimpa The thing is that one can use chatgpt but I know from reports and experience that it can happen that it gets important details wrong and therefore one should take this into account and still check the info. But in some cases I would be critical of some psychiatrists advice. It depends on the subject and they are biased, too. The thing with the diet is that I find it a bit problematic because chances are that a newbe might stumble on this thread or might be getting advice that they don't have to watch what they eat or drink and consume harmalas and get into some trouble. Also one might interprete this as green lights to take some medication to take a notch down or kill the trip as would be done on lsd and get knocked out because it might interact with the drug or potentiate it. Most people even here tend to not to be so caucious and have a clean diet as Leo does so for me it's important to take this into account.

@LSD-Rumi haven't you heard that chatgpt can sometimes give you false and incomplete information? Therefore people SHOULD always double check and think about the Informationen. It's obvious that you don't know about what is talked about here. I find this very irresponsible abd you're putting yourself and other people who know even less at a risk. It should be searched explicite for harmalas if they are talked about.

Godspeed my fellow psychonaut =) Tell us how it was.

Oh, yeah. That reminds me of a story that happened to a former friend of mine. I don't want to give you a negative feeling about exploring this substance but I think it is important to know the risk and practice harm reduction I tell this story because if you're unlucky you can get real damage and this shouldn't be underestimated while dealing with salvia. Of course it depends on multiple factors but nevertheless. His story was that before we met he smoked some high extract with some friends in an irresponsible manner and woke up in a world with green salvia beings and he was also green and the world was full of vortexes. He was then forced to live in this world and work there keeping this vortexes alive by focussing the hole day on them. At first he seemed to have the remniniscens that he didn't belong there but soon get used to it and even became friends with some other elves and build there a whole live. He told me he spent there years and finally got ptsd from the shift to ordinary reality again because his whole coherent reality bubble there broke apart and when he first saw a human face of the sitter he couldn't recognise it as such and was shocked because it was like seeing those naked rats with their teeth and weird looking mouths. I should mention that he had some trauma before that but still had nightmares for a year and can't trip anymore. I find honestly find it hard believe when people say they spend there years. i often ask myself if one really spents there years or just get the memories of being there such a long time. But then I remember some weird shit happening to me on my lsd trips where I spent different live paths and it took me also a long time arriving back here in this human form with human memories.

I think that is unlikely. There are hundreds of reports from people who think it's fun and end up having those nightmarish trips. I once smoked 20x extract with tabacco in a joint and part of my vision became a demon and grabbed me for 20 secs or so. When I came back I saw that I was grabbing some sleeves of a jacket. I also use just dried leaves as basis for my dmt because I can't smoke it pure and it's fine as long as you respect it. However the visuals and texture get quite sinister and autonomous. Thats because salvia doesn't hit your serotonine receptors so it's different from normal psychedelics. I've had an more or less classical awakening from smoking just leaves in the bong. Things started morphing a little though. So I think you can work with them on lower doses. If you want to get a feel for it and not so extreme where your psyche gets raped try salvia extract spray which you keep for some time in mouth spit it out. Theb you will trip but it's gonna be managable or smoke leaves in the bong. In tradinional indigenous tribes they pzt them only in their mouth and chew on them and spit them out and use them for spiritual purposes that way.

A conspiracy theorist dies and ask God who killed JFK. God looks in his eyes and says "it was Lee Harvey Oswald, with A Rifle, and on His own". The Conspiracy theorist scratched his head, looking suspiciously and answers "oh man, this goes deeper than I thought". When I hear such stories I often think about this joke. However it has also a bitter after taste because it reflects the stupidity and closedmindedness very acurately.

One time when I lived in dorm and was high on lsd I visited a small party in another apartment a friend joked that I wasn't wearing pants and I panicked and locked myself in the closed and tried for half an hour to verify if this is true or not and I became really paranoid. Finally I took a lot of pictures of my legs and concluded that I most likely was wearing them and calmed down. I was wearing pants btw. Another time I was tripping on 2c-b during a rave and a guest came with blinking blue lights on her bike and I thought we were getting busted. But the matter was quickly settled.

Hehe, I think they won't help everyone. Once I took 200yg lsd and right before the peak I got fear and took 200mg quetiapine and it helped shit. Even the letters on the screen rearrenged in" that won't help you now". It was crazy. However I accepted it and had a good time and a full fletched trip. But they seem to help me at the end of the trip because that make me sleepy or else after 12 hours I'm still too energized to sleep.

@Yimpamy trip has never ended. I'm still tripping on Re-Al-I-Ty ?

Don't worry, Its normal. Some people have that gift but theoretical everyone can do that to lower degrees. My question is, can you get a 5 meo state at will?

I wasted a lot of 5 meo dmt to watching porn and low conscious things and it got me a huge ego backlash. It wasn't due to porn but rather the attitude I had and that preferred porn to Infinity. There were a few times when I was in a deep clinging state and I couldn't let go so the lsd trips lead me through hell and I was barely tripping despite more than 200yg. I also redosed while peaking and that brought disorder to my mind and more visuals. When I'm in a detached state I normally need just 1g shrooms or 100yg lsd. Another mistake I made was when I ate 30g of fresh shrooms and had only a mild trip. Then I thought I could just take 3g dried shrooms and add half a tab lsd. It came far too strong and I got a bad trip and everythings looked like made of plastic.

Before I trip I eat only a light meal. I would make my apartment fool proof and hide sharp things because even if I don't hurt myself I might worry if you have. Once I wasn't tripping balls and only lightly and I decided to get some melon and I cut it in half. However because I couldn't tell if I hurt myself I got extremely worried. Since then I always prepare enough food for the come down and enough to drink in advance because sometimes you don't know if your enough hydrated or not you just can't tell. One might swet from the exhaustion and lose water. There was another time I was tripping longer and harder than expected and I had big difficulties refilling my water supply. It was as hard as flying an spaceship and there were fractals everywhere and the world with closed eyes blended continiously with what I saw with open eyes so I stayed mostly in bed. I would make myself a comfortable space to chill. I also stick a big note somewhere I can see it while tripping which reminds me of when I dosed and the expected ending of the trip (12hours) and maybe a reminder with a smiley to relax. Before the trip I try to get into a good state by relaxing on my balcony or a nearby park and some music. Sometimes when I have difficulties I use the trip sit chat where are people who can lift you up a bit. If you take a lsd analogue adjust your dosage. For me 1v lsd is multiple times more visual than 1 p lsd. 1 cp lsd is only slightly visual.

It might though very well and all of how science works is contradicted. Reliable comutersimulations how enzymes work are contradicted and this makes it literally impossible. If this was possible ot would render decades of knowledge and well tested models used to design drugs false and it's clear that the probability is very low. Also they said it was "on faith" and that makes it sound rather flimsey. To speak from personal experiences I can tell that I had similiar effects as described by a strain of mckenai abd I think there are a lot of thibgs at play like it depends what experiences with psychedelics you've had earlier and also how easy you can let go( I've had times when I tripped on 0,75 shrooms more than now on 3-4). Also brain chemestry plays as role and placebo effect, especially on those low doses can play a huge role. For example when I expect to trip, before I consume the substance I get a peak of higher consciuosness which can be like a low dose shrooms or lsd and that explaines it perfectly. Edit: additionally it would contradict how purity and identification of substances is done in general and on the reliability of these methodes depend most of modern society. I'd critisize that they made their own standard and not bought it from a huge supplier but they seem to have the methodes and if you have them and a chemist and tested it the methode seems pretty reliable. One has also to take into account that these people in the lab have probably done thousands of anayses and can predict if any change could happen when the substance is dissolved. Also there would be indicators in the results. I can speak from experience and knowledge as qualified lab technician and now biological process ingeneer to be.

I'm looking forward to your trip reports. but be aware that there exists two strains which have different concentrations what makes it easy to poison yourself like some on erowid report.

I think this here is leo's place. It's like a temple or monastry and one have to accept the rules, respect the teaching. In physical places like a buddhist temple can't go there and do a few backflips and yoga exersizes. Moreover we should not take his thousands of hours of free help and leadership for granted. This thread reminds me a bit of this video.

After preparing food and drink and making some harm reduction adhustments in my apartment I ingested 225yg V Lsd. This substances can be far more visual like dmt but anotjer pattern. I had eaten beefore and it was a pallet. Therefore and giving to slow come up with v lsd in general it took 3-4 hours to really start tripping and oh boy it was the most intense trip of my life. I had often higher doses before in my life and the last time I had a real breakthrough on lsd before was one year ago. The first 2-3 hours after kicking in I solved some important traumas and saw the things I regret that I did I forgave it because god is forgiveness. I did that a lot. But then I changed minds and became other persons I know which have suffered terrible things and it was strange because I knew what happened at the time and I forgave that as well an saw that every missconsuct came from love. I also experienced multiple deaths of relatives and what they regretted in their last moments and I could forgive for them as well. Then I could release some generational trauma that was built up in my body and I died multiple times. After that while listening to music, something klicked inside and the disharmoniuosness I was in disappeared and there was all the love there is, because it was all me. Then I opened my eyes a d saw that 7,5 hours had passed. I started to worry because it seemed to get more intense and the visuals were so strong that the closed eyes blend into what I saw and I could barely read. I also feared that I would loose ground completely. It never happened before but for this case I always have a harm reduction chat open where I can be calmed down and ground my experience because I feared that I would loose my mind and stay there stuck. Everytime I closed my eyes my whole reality dissolved into fractals and impossible geometry and so many diferrent angles or multiple dismensions, and this was quite teriffying for the last bit humanness that was left. During this time I also realized that multiple lifetimes are still dreaming and all teachings are part of the dream and many if not all keep you from reaching truth. By the way there was also a time were I experiences orgasms for what was eternity but after seeing that it has no values this way, I stopped. During closed eyes I also started creating beeings and mind wanderings. After 9 hours I noticed that trip was slightly wearing off. That was the time I lost my fear of being stuck and I enjoyed the trip again and created things in my imagination again and guess what, after a while I created all this here step by step and I comepletely understood why I created every aspect of this world and my sickness and disability. It's pure love and I love my life and it sucks right now enormuosly because I greatly care for it and I do things which suck. Froms gods perspective it's great and it has so many chances. I also noticed that I'm on a very excelerated low level vibration and will stop feeding it because this and my porno addiction plus the adrenaline rush of my ptsd irritates the body and mind to a horrific level and create pains and inflamations from which I suffer. Also my bad attitute in general sustains this feeling. My plan is to use the following 2 weeks to take right paths and slow it a bit down to change tracks. I will probably trip again in 2 weeks if I feel right. After that I might not have the time for it until december and it's very important that I reduce the trauma a bit. I also take aways are to be more honest, even with small things, stopping feeding my mind with shit and exelerating it because of the structure of my nervous system the mind will project danger on it and go into a survival vicious circle. I also realized how important it is to forgive and do things I love. Negativity also feeds into pain. It is strange because after every breakthrough I create a slightly different, more harmoniuos self. I'm very greatful for this place. I know I can do it and create a great life despite the hindrances. I came down at 12 hours and had slight visuals for another 16 but after some good sleep I'm back to normal. And finally I thank you for being here and being a positive influence. ?

Ok, I understand. I appreciate your perspective. ? I think they loosened my internal blockages a bit to make room for change. Until now it is very positive and I remember what to do to improve my life. It is like there was a inner part reconnected and put in harmony again. I now understand that I can do every moment something to improve my life because the attitude manifests in all kind internal and external.

A double recontextualization ? I love their movies. They often have a huge twist.
