@Leo Gura That’s awesome, thank you! I already sent you an email.

@Leo Gura How long beforehand do you plan on setting the date? It would be really helpful if you could set it as early as possible. Hotel prices and plane tickets generally go up as time goes by, and for long-distance travelers, the overall cost would already be quite high, with a transatlantic flight and a longer stay to adapt to jet lag. I just wanted to draw attention to that because it could make a huge difference in being able to book several months in advance. I'd really appreciate being part of this first retreat either way. I especially value the fact that this is the first one and that it is experimental in nature.

Happy Birthday, Leo!

@Basman You're right, they were very deep trips. The trips I had on 15 g were weaker, more like a moderate dose, and not as effective for deep inner work for me. However, I've only tripped six times on magic truffles, and those were my first experiences with psychedelics. I don't know how it would be now that I have more experience.

From my experience, truffles are good for this kind of work. I don’t think the brand matters much, and around 20–25 g works well for me.

Thanks for sharing.

Did you have a lot of trips that were too much for you? I remember you said it was so potent you had to force yourself to do it. I'm wondering how the trips were when you had to force yourself, and how you manage that kind of fear. Would you go back to tripping on weed if your health allowed it?

@integral I have experience with psychedelics, just not with vaping them.

@integral Why do you ask?

@Leo Gura I’ve never smoked weed or vaped any psychedelics, so it’s hard for me to estimate. I was thinking of making a 1:2 cart and experimenting from there. Do you usually take just one inhale, or a few like with DMT?

@Leo Gura What ratio do you think works best when mixing THCA isolate with Liquify Pro for vape carts?

Dimmed light, eyes open. Music to help with the come-up. Sitting up, then lying down.

I start to feel the first effects after about 2 minutes, reach the peak in about 4 minutes, and the peak lasts for about 30 to 40 minutes. Then I experience a sudden drop from the peak into much lighter effects.

@Leo Gura Have you seen my post in the Blog Discussion Mega-Thread? I’ll link it here. I hope you’ll take the time to read it and watch the videos. I totally get your point that trans ideologies are a real issue. The point I raise in my post is not about that, but about the way being trans itself is framed in your blog post. I hope you'll see what I’m trying to communicate and understand why I think the way you conflate these different realities in your blog post is problematic.
