  1. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/hawaii-maui-wildfires-08-12-23/index.html Nature is relentless..
  2. I was. The program is called D.A.R.E. We had a police officer come to “educate” us about the dangers of illicit street drugs, some being psychedelics. @Hello from Russia I’m sorry for what you had to go through. I find that police officers here in the US tend to be more ignorant than cruel based on my few encounters with them. Lucid dreaming comes close
  3. @How to be wise I see that you smuggled in some AI-generated content into this forum discussion How to be AI
  4. @cjoseph90 and you’re superimposing judgement and moralism onto a statement
  5. An important skill to learn is reading between the lines. That requires considering the other person’s needs above your own. Doing so repeatedly expands your sense of self and makes you less selfish. In other words, you’re more open to love. And many more kisses to come.
  6. You ultimately have to get to a point where you decide what’s right for your own life. Make autonomy one of your top value. That means, not needing to be told what’s right for you; living and making choices based on what you intuit is appropriate for yourself. You still listen to advice and feedback from others, but you don’t turn it into strict rules that you must follow blindly. It’s a difficult path that I myself still struggle with, but the long-term gains you’ll make will be well worth it. You be the captain of your own life. And others will thank you for operating such a magnificent ship.
  7. @Princess Arabia I kid you not, I went on a date with a girl who looks similar to you, and a very similar scenario like that played out. This was like 10 years ago
  8. Set and setting, as they say. That’s why psychedelic rehab centers, I believe, are the future. How long it’ll take to make it widespread and a standard practice is still unknown territory. A few psychedelic trips, and they’ll also encourage you to get out of the rehab asap.
  9. And yet not all people will mental illness abuse drugs. I am very responsible when it comes to drugs, despite having several mental illnesses. Even legal drugs that can be highly addictive I’ve tried and never got hooked on or took in excess frequency, such as phenibut. And once I found that it no longer was useful to me, I got off it on my own accord without any issues. If anything, one of the most challenging “drugs” to get off of was excess sugary foods, which is found plentiful in society. I’ll admit that fast food is still a big issue for me, though.
  10. @acidgoofy that is the chillest mosh pit i have ever witnessed
  11. Music is absolutely beautiful and a deep expression of love. Experiencing music on psychedelics can also amplify it… not by volume, but by an increase in raw connection to the Music
  12. Directly be the one who is making that distinction
  13. @Osaid it’s very inspiring and beautiful to read your communications right now. Thank YOU!
  14. It’s like trying to get rid of SMS text messaging and email. There’s a lot to hate about both of them, but they ain’t going away anytime soon.
  15. My friend has bipolar and is studying psych as her major. Her family told her not to do it because it wouldn’t be a high paying career, but she said fuck it and followed her passion anyway.
  16. @integral Well… it’s been a week since you made this post. Have you noticed an uptick in new users?
  17. As silly as it sounds, therapists may actually do this with their patients during interoceptive exposures. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interoceptive_exposure
  18. Yep, there’s more where that came from (Came from God)
  19. That would be perfect for exposure therapy. Some therapists already use VR headsets in their practice for this purpose, but obviously the technology is still in the early stages and will improve over time.
