This band is so good

Heck yes!! Love this band

Out of the few posts I've made all I've done is say what Elon is doing is wrong, criticize him, and acknowledge he is simply being self serving, and that he is too biased to oversee any federal agencies, etc, while also simply acknowledging he probably thinks what he's doing is best for the people. I don't really understand why you are so angry, lol. Perhaps I came off as too charitable to Elon for you.... even though I never really was charitable to him at all. You're like upset my brows aren't as furrowed as yours. I hope you have a better night.

I haven't tripped on DPH (yet). Yes it was completely stupid and degenerate, almost rebellious. I had close to suicidal levels of disregard for my well being. Drinking cough syrup was another one I was stupid enough to do a bunch of different times. I have seen some extraction methods for DXM somewhere online, but I don't know if they are "good" methods. There was a specific product we would seek out that didn't contain chlorpheniramine, acetaminophen, or any other active ingredients except for DXM. Can't remember what brand. There were a bunch we knew to avoid. It was a risky game, you had to get the right bottle. That sounds interesting. You are a mad scientist. Where are you? Did you like the scopolamine? Datura is described as nightmare fuel, did you ever try it? Sounds a bit much for me these days. I would've probably tried it back then. I applaud your expertise. Thanks for providing some insight to accompany my surface level trip reports.

Just take THC edibles to preserve your lungs.

@Davino I've done salvia a bunch. I very rarely feel the call towards it. Never mixed with marijuana. nn-DMT plus weed makes the experience quite different, almost demonic. But marijuana and LSD always mixed really well and intensified the experience in a way I really enjoyed. Helpful on the comedown too. I always felt marijuana was very psychedelic but this increased after LSD trips. Then there are 5meo reactivations which felt like I literally just smoked 5meo again. I probably have brain damage from constant weed smoking throughout my teenage years. Marijuana plus caffeine consumption made me into quite an anxious and neurotic individual. Now smoking weed feels childish, but really nostalgic.

@Joshe @Scholar Good replies. Yes Elon is primarily self-serving. I agree about Elon trying to dismantle the federal government and instill a tech-oligarchy. It's less about a need to balance my perspective and more about setting my bias aside and acknowledge we don't know what is a whisper or a thunderstorm in Elon's head. It's not a "need to balance perspective"- a balanced perspective is important. It's not fanboying- Elon could care little about humanity and just acts selfishly, but we don't know that. I'm the last thing from an Elon fanboy, that's just a silly assumption you are making. Just like other world leaders, spiritual gurus, genocidal maniacs throughout history, he most likely thinks what he's doing is best for humanity. I agree that he's selfishly trying to gain power, but he most likely believes this sort of restructuring is better than our current structure. I'm not saying he's right, I obviously don't agree, but acknowledging this does not mean I am biased or some Elon fanboy. In fact this is not a defense of Elon at all, actually more of a criticism of Elon, the rich, and other narcissistic leaders who justify their selfishness. It's simply acknowledging the way the mind works, and how most people can justify their actions from a warped perspective.

What lacks nuance is the getting rid of entire agencies. See my other comments. I am well aware of what he's doing. Elon can think what he's doing is right for society while still being self-serving. That's usually how it goes. The Pentagon cannot account for trillions of dollars. Two things can be true at once. Elon wouldn't do it if it stood in his way- that's obvious. Adjust this comically evil understanding you have and acknowledge that these individuals might actually think they are doing the right thing for society.

@DavinoI miss marijuana. If I didn't have so many responsibilities, and had more money, I think I'd indulge more often. People definitely underestimate its potential and write it off. It can a great creative and spiritual tool. Of course anything too much can be harmful. How often do you do Salvia? I find that marijuana has a unique relationship with other psychedelics. It has definitely sent me back to LSD, 5meo trips, etc.

That's a bit silly.

It's not extreme or radical. It's hard to date someone you disagree with politically. Your job is not to convert your partner. If they cannot meet your level of understanding or if they don't live in the same reality as you then it might not work. It all depends on how much you value being politically aligned with your partner.. some people simply do not have that as part of their relationship criteria.

Looks like some of the DMT entities working behind the scenes
