Yet there are also chimps who take care of the weaker members of the group (mainly alphas do that to gain sympathy) or there's this story of a female chimp who took care of a wounded bird.

If I want to trip in the morning I always eat some small hospital-like meal, for example, one sandwich with jam and then wait for an hour. Better to get nauseated from that sandwich (didn't happen to me yet), than fainting from a lack of food (this was close to happening). I am quite a fainty person. Everyone has to suit their own needs. Although drinking a strawberry shake once before tripping was a mistake, I could feel it traveling through the intestines. So, after all, it's better to err on the side of too little food than eating too much.

This not an issue of introversion, but a lack of experience. Being introverted derails your efforts when you are trying to maintain long-term relationships or chat-up a group of people. But 1-on-1 conversations with strangers? You should be ok. In my opinion, it's not that introverts are anti-social, but they just prefer personal interaction with one person at a time and extraverted types prefer doing stuff in a group. Of course, your introversion might have helped to put you in this position of lack of experience, but it's not keeping you there.

Yeah, that's true. I prefer to let it dissolve in a mouth.

@legendary I feel you. I have the same thing with Mushrooms, high doses are not high enough, I always dose higher. But with LSD I am more careful because of the duration and dose conventionaly. So it might also be a legit 200ug, because those exist too. I have divided once blotters that were rated 200ug for microdosing thinking they are underdosed and I tell you, those weren't microdoses.

Both are cool. If anything it's Hatha Yoga which is causing bursts of energy, I rememeber fire going through my arms when doing the warrior pose. Like literally a sensation of something rapidly going through your hands out. Intense feeling.

And mine is something along the lines of helping people setup successful conscious businesses like this, plus I learn Spanish. I think we could build quite a good team from members of this forum with matching LPs.

I have swallowed whole LSD and 1P-LSD blotters and they both always work. If it didn't work 1. It was not LSD, 2. Blotters were inactive because inproperly stored, 3. Your friends had super-high tolerance from the previous trip or other substance.

If you have broken off contact with your fiance then no wonder you have suicidal thoughts. Breakup is the most potent suicide-inducing factor

@Chris365 You also need to watch out not to press down on the substance in a scoop, because then it will get more dense and that will result in a higher dose. You can try to take a few loose scoops and weight them and then a few tightly packed ones and compare. I am not sure if I have explained it correctly, hope you will understand.

@Chakra Lion Donald Trump is not using this forum (probably ), so I don't think he will mind being called an idiot. He's a grown man (probably ) and have heard worse things about himself.

I have heard some sounds when doing Kriya Yoga. And I can say it was a profound experience because the sense of self was disappearing while listening to it. But it didn't resemble anything you normally hear, it was like celestial instruments, that's the best way I can describe it. My best yoga session was when I could listen to it late at night. Are those sounds important? I guess so when doing yoga.

They have similar properties, that's why I think it doesn't get burned. There are reports of people vaping bufotenin, like this one https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=79324 where person reports "I was breathing consciously but somehow it didn’t feel as though the oxygen was getting in." So it might be the compound that is causing issues in some people.

@Leo Gura are you sure? The last time I have checked it was a fact that some of it is converted to bufotenin. People were speculating that this is what causes visuals on 5-MeO. I also don't get why would it get burned. Bufotenin is just a fancy name for 5-HO-DMT, they are both tryptamines with similar chemical properties, they will get vaped together. The venom might have some other ingredients that are poisonous though.

@OBEler Cool, but then report you have taken 3 or 6 scoops and not some numbers in milligrams. Because people read it and can get confused.

@Lyubov Yeah, but bufotenin is also a by-product of 5-MeO-DMT's metabolism by your body. So if it can harm you then pure synthetic 5-MeO can too.

The word "lesson" doesn't quite match, but yeah something like that. It's more of a fashion show than a movie, you are a model whose role is to display certain aspects of IT. Nothing is being learned, it's a spectacle.

@Chris365 You can't know how many mg fit in your scoop without a scale. They weren't made for 5-MeO-DMT. You have to put a few scoops on ascale, then divide the measurement by how many scoops it was. Then repeat a few times to get a feel for how much one scoop contains and what is it's measurement error. Otherwise you are dosing yourself with random amounts of the substance without really knowing. That's how "Ohh I have taken 60 mg and felt nothing" reports get made.

@Leo Gura That's cool, because I would like to discover how and why I am creating it. Any aid helps.

@Leo Gura You need to make an episode on imagination with your post-retreat perspective on it, because it's a one thing you keep talking about that gets me confused and I believe I am not the only one. And on what other is. My mind can't compute that.

What I have learned form one LSD trip is that there's no difference between tripping and life, it's all one experience. A trip is just a little more dense part of that experience. That means that everything that is possible sober is also possible on a psychedelic, but on a substance it will be more intense and happen quicker. That's why you CAN get a spiritual breakthrough on a trip. Your inquiry gets 1000x more intense for a moment.

Looking at all views equally sounds more stage Green. What Yellow does when confronting libertarianism is understanding libertarian's position, but also not agreeing on it in the slightest, because it's disproven scientifically and seems highly improbable to Yellow considering his sophisticated worldview.

I think your ability to discern Yellow thinking patterns might be inaccurate by reading too much about Spiral Dynamics itself, and not actually listening to people who are stage Yellow, but talk about somethig different than SD. Yellow thinking has a certain quality, you can discern it when you know what to look for, but you need to experience it deeply first.

@louhad It all goes in a full-circle don't you know it?

@giglio Ok, you have read Ron Gardner and probably a few other authors you agree with. But have you ever read stage Green economy or politics books like Picketty's Capital for example? Stage Yellow books? Wilber doesn't count, we have all read him.
