Contamination happens sometimes, but it's very rare. I know a story of a Polish vendor who was selling 5-MeO-MALT contaminated with an NBOMe. Both are psychedelics, but one is dosed in 10-40mg range and the other up to 1.2mg. The first has a duration of a few hours and the other can last for days. So you can imagine how scary combinatiom it was or even deadly in some cases. Some people got hospitialized. How could they have protected themselves? By choosing the safest ROA for this compound, that is oral. The only victims were those who choose snorting. Why? NBOMes are inactive orally, but work very well by snorting. How to avoid falling a victim to such mistakes in the future? Look at vendor's reputation, the one that made this mistake had it mixed, ranging from terrible to OK. So don't buy from questionable sellers. Also look at other items in their inventory, if they sell both fentanyl and psychedelics, I would question their integrity and doubt that they have the best intentions for the buyer in mind. Also be cautious around psychedelics vendors who sell exotic substances like 25C-NBOMe or 5-MeO-pyr-T, as you don't want to get those compounds by a mistake, so use your test kit.

I love bicycle touring and kayaking.

Elderberry syroup. It works wonders, but as with other solutions you have to drink it appropiately early, otherwise it won't work. Every summer I go and gather the flowers to make my own syroup. It's a very simple process. If you feel like it's a virus infection, then Neosine is a valid solution. It boosts immune-system.

Pointless. Plugging won't be more effective for 4-HO tryptamines than ingesting them the oral route. (Psilocin in mushrooms is 4-HO-DMT) Plus why on earth would you want to put dried mushrooms up your butt. Maybe some liquid psilocybin extract, but not whole shrooms, it sounds ridiculous.

Vaporizing HCl is ineffective. I never know how much went in. With freebase, it melts almost immediately and vapes cleanly with little to no residue. It's way more intuitive.

Count me in. I always have similar ideas after attending a retreat. Is this a case for you?

I have revived the journal as it's one of the most effective practices one can have. Looking in retrospection, I don't know what has made me to stop this habit. It will still be mostly private, but I will try to update it from time to time with some content. Here's a recent trip report: Contemplating The Future - 5-MeO-MET, 17 mg 22.11.18 // Taken at night, at home. Oral ROA works flawlessly for this compound. Trip closed in two hours. Easy sleep afterwards. THE TEST Took this substance with goal in mind. To try to figure out the next step in life, pushed by growing dissatisfaction with formal education and my personal inability to perform. Conclusion is to finish the current course I am studying (two months left) and go all into creating marketing bussiness. That is if I succeed at completing the course. If not, then I am not developed enough to succeed at having a bussiness and have to work on myself, by working for people and attending retreats. THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT Higher inteligence has devaluated my worries and told me to focus on Enlightenment, as this is the real thing. All else in life is just a decoration. ABOUT THE SUBSTANCE It's more of a stoning drug than anything. Slight alternation of thinking, bodyload and noticable, pleasant physical buzz. Increased concentration, clarity of vision and depth of sound. No visuals. It was definitely a light dose.

Stuff like this happens, it's not important what exactly it is. The lesson here is to notice that all those states, no matter how unusual or spectacular, are impermanent, so they can't satisfy, nor harass. By focusing on impermanence, you will grow in wisdom. It's a traditional buddhist approach.

Fellow INFP here. My dating life is a badly written drama. Just as most of my novels from teenage years. Sometimes I feel on top of the world and crush it. The other times I can't force myself to even say "hi" to a girl. Emotions rule my effectivness at game, which is far from ideal. There's no easy solution to that problem. Hard work on inner game is needed. You can also put some system in the place that will force you to take action, when you can't motivate yourself naturally. Like schedule that on this day of the week, let's say Wednesday, you approach at least two girls and say, at least, "Hi!". You can also deliberately schedule time to go to a party and set a goal of setting up a date with one girl met at that party. Such rigid, goal-oriented approach is counter-intuitive for INFP, but works.

4-AcO-DMT works great. It's basically shrooms. I would also recommend 4-HO-MiPT, if the first one is unavailable. It's quite well suited for spiritual pursuits.

I would vote for Heraclitus. The "everything flows" and "you never step twice into the same river" guy. Maybe Socrates, who knows. And definitely not Marcus Aurelius.

@martin_malin Yeah, all the greenish guys have Tesla on their boards instead of Lambo.

Since a lot of people are following this thread, I have wanted to give you a heads-up and announce that dry spell on 5-MeO has ended. Many trusted rc vendors have it back in offer.

Both are salts formed by adding either oxalic acid or hydrochloride acid to 5-MeO-DMT base form. Oxalate, HCl, Fumarate, etc. - all salt forms are soluble in water, but have different chemical properties, like for example vaporization temperature or stability. They all can be converted to freebase by using "Fumarate to freebase" or "HCl to freebase" tek. These work interchangebly. Freebase doesn't dissolve in water. But you can dissolve it in non-polar solvent like propylene glycol. HCl is the most popular. But only because 5-MeO-DMT Oxalate is a new idea. If I had a choice to buy this substance today, I would choose Oxalate, because it's from fresh batch and HCl might be 1-2 years old.

David Airey's "Work for Money, Design for Love" book is great if you are seriously considering art as an career.

How to make it happen? Be decided it's what you really want. Escalate with the girl, touch her here, see how she reacts, touch her here, see how she reacts. She doesn't like it, step back, talk some more and give her time to get comfortable. Then try again. She likes it? Good, go further. Go further. Oops, she didn't like it, step back a tiny bit - aaand... go further. Right now you could start kissing and have fun through clothes or, if you have been already enjoying yourself for long enough, you can start to get undressed. It will make her feel more comfortable if you take off your shirt first. Another option is to offer her a massage. Let her lay down on the belly and undo her bra, you have all right to do it, because it's only a massage, nothing sexual. Always have an massage oil, it works wonders. Pour it on her back and keep it coming, there's no such thing as too much oil. It will have to go somewhere. Mainly on the sides, so you can not only rub her back, but also gently take care of the sides of her breasts. Don't rush for putting penis into vagina. Be patient and make her really horny first. Use your fingers, tounge, whatever you are ok with. Touch all of her body, not only the most obvious areas. When you finally get through all of that, then remember that lube is your best friend. Oh, and if the girl that you have just met insists on not using a condom, then don't think it's because you are so awesome. It's more realistic that she offers it to most of the guys she sleeps with. It's not worth the stress.

Could someone share any reliable resources/techniques that are aimed at developing charisma?

There are many high-quality online courses about art and painting, so college is unnecessary as you say. But the thing is those courses are pricey. How are you planning to sustain yourself? Are you going to try to sell your art or get a job as a painter?

@Charlotte We won't find out, because we already have! You can watch the movie on YT, type in "True Hallucinations". It's a two-part documentary series about 6-8 hours long if I recall correctly, created from McKenna's recordings. The whole Jim Carrey thing was a very clever and funny marketing tactic. Nevertheless, it's a good movie, I recommend watching it. Substitutes reading Terrence's books.

@axwell lay on your side, not stomach. Bend one leg. It's way easier that way.

The twist is that everything you see, you only see once in a while. There's not a thing that exists continously, that could be more you than the coffee table or anything really. There is a Self, but it's not a thing. (Experiences are also things.)

New camera setup, cool.

Hey, I am thinking about buying a light, cheap laptop for note-taking. I have been considering 13 inch Macbook Air from 2012-2013, but maybe there are better alternatives? What are you guys using? Budget around $400.

Some people freak out after psychedelics. They destroy their enivronment and hurt themselves unconsciously.

Listen, you talking about texting. I will tell you what happens when you text. Your decent at making conversation interesting, so girls talk to you when they are bored, because they know it will be somewhat engaging. They don't do it, because they secretly like you or want to test if you are good candidate for a boyfriend. No, they only want to kill time. You want to hear how a text that works look like? Here it is: "Hey Katherine, what's up? I hope everything goes well. Wanna grab a beer and have some fun on Saturday?" That's it. Talk logistics and save all the interesting topics for when you actually meet. Wasting time on texting is pointless in my opinion. Dates are way cooler, even if you don't end up in a bed, for whatever the reason. I am assuming that you are talking about girls you have met in real life, not some Tinder matches, because there apply other rules, obviously.
