I've just started microdosing on psilocybin, looking forward to macrodosing for my therapy! Glad to hear you've gotten good results with LSD, I hope it sticks!
Would not recommend. You never know which way it will go and it's much better to have someone you trust sit with you and guide you through any rough bits. Only time I've ever done it I had a terrifying loss of self experience.
Remember that that feeling is something inside you that you need to cultivate and NOT something LSD "gives" you, don't let this become addiction, use this boost to create a reality that supports you (you can do it, just go slow, and make gradual steps).
I suggest gel tabs over blotter paper. Had my best trips on those. First time I did LSD it shed away years of depression and it was one of the happiest timeâs in my life.
What youâre describing is the âwind downâ as opposed to the âramp upâ the first half of the trip. It makes the world around you seem dingy and dark. This is why if youâve never done it itâs a good idea to have a âtrip sitterâ. Someone to answer questions while on your trip. The wind down is also very relaxing though and how we get creative art like âeldritch Garfieldâ.
i do not recommend doing acid alone. unless you made it yourself, you never know the actual dose in the tab, and you might end up with a two way without knowing it. i had to bail my son out of jail on this. luckily the cops didnt shoot him.
LSD is great. only thing i found that can relive fibro myalgia pain and could actively turn it on and off until the effects ware off. also fucking music man
would love to try lsd and mdma. ive only tried shrooms and the experience literally changed my life. im not saying absolutely everyone should do psychedelics, but i think almost everyone should.
Isn't it amazing? Honestly everyone should be doing psychedelics. It is such a revelation. I repaired my relationship with my brother. I worked out a lot of shit in my brain and realized that life is good and certain things are just bullshit
It's a handy way to get that sort of self-reflection and mindfulness, but I always compare it to crash-dieting, personally. Sure, it can get you to those sorts of goals, but if you weren't practicing that sort of thing before, you're probably not going to be keeping up with healthy mental techniques, and the mental garbage will pile up again. Personally, I've been accidentally micro-dosing ego-death through flow-states in video games for as long as I can remember. >
> No idea if that's actually healthier, but the "guided trip" I went on just felt like a mediocre dream, even though my guide thought he brought me through some big "revelations." So either I'm that fucked up that I've had to sort my mental health long before drugs could get involved, or the revelations really are just paying attention to the effect of your thoughts and actions more than the average person knows how.
I don't think EVERYONE just because there are people whos brains won't be able to tell the difference between real and fake while on psychedelics. You need a pretty logical mind to stay grounded or else it can go bad real fast.
I love them, swear by them, but idk about everyone. for instance, it highlighted schizophrenia in my ex. definitely try to know yourself before going in and talk it through with friends or trusted family first
I went through a whole Journey, it triggered the same in me along with bipolar, but I kept with it because I was able to see glimpses of enlightenment in the chaos, and it was better than psychiatrists pushing meds. It took a lot of self and shadow work but I overcame my diagnosis and the depression thanks to weed and psychedelics thanks simply to faith in good and self love which allowed me to build the mental models necessary. I think the environment and language makes a huge difference.
Yeah, no. They're not for everyone. They definitely work wonders for some, but really fuck some people up. Glad they work for you, but don't encourage everyone to do them.
Yeah heavily agree with this opinion. Let's take an extreme example, a veteran with PTSD uses weed to take the edge off and is dependant on it to relax vs an ADHD bi-polar narcissist that refuses to medicate becoming extremely paranoid and dependent on it to not become paranoid.
This. We had a guy come over share a bowl of some alright weed. He spent the next three hours on the porch in the cold. People react differently to drugs.
I tried mushrooms a couple few times hoping for the same thing and was instead hit with a massive migraine and debilitating depression that lasted 3 straight days. Enjoy responsibly, children. Psychedelics aren't for everyone.
Mushrooms and LSD are much different experiences. If I eat mushrooms I get the cold sweats, have a massive headache and generally don't have a good time. I've tried it a couple of times and my body doesn't like it.
HOWEVER.
I've personally never had an uncomfortable experience on LSD.
I find Burning Man absolutely fascinating. I would never want to go because I'm an introvert and a homebody but I'm fascinated that there are people who think being stuck in the desert with thousands of strangers and no toilets is a fun time. Plus the pictures are always beautiful and interesting.
I have been several times. It's.. extreme camping, however if you're properly prepared it's fine. I'm also an introvert and don't leave the house too much, but there are ways to experience the Burn without having to place yourself into the throngs of people. It's entirely possible to meet people in very small groups and make amazing connections. What's really nice is most people are there for the same experience, which makes making those connections very easy :)
I mean, I guess it's possible my dealer was trying to poison me but he sold a literal ton of them one year and most people had good results. I wonder if maybe it was me, I think I have reduced liver function, edibles don't work for me either but inhaled, marijuana is lovely.
Well its very possible there was a mix if the source they got them from didnt know what they had. That is odd that edibles dont work? If you think you have a liver issue see a Dr.
I did, she doesn't believe me and won't test based on the symptoms I have, she says I'm imagining it. Canada has this great reputation for healthcare but the fact is, our healthcare still sucks, it's just sucky and free instead of sucky and expensive.
Lordy that does sound like it sucks. Can you see another provider? I dunno what the rules up there are for CDL's, but if you are getting one in the USA you have to get a physical and blood work done. Its a sneaky way to get some tests.
Or just be prepared for all that stuff to come out in any shape and form at any time and just handle it, it's you vs you might as well get some shit sorted with the 12+ hours you got on hand lol
Well, at least nothing immediately specific. Like, if a loved one was sick and in the hospital, thatâs not the time to do LSD. And if you start worrying about having a bad trip, youâll have a bad trip. It started happening to me, and I had to stop. Or at least had a bad enough one that I swore to myself Iâd never do it again.
Time was wrong (in so many ways) and, well there was a plan that I just adjust the arms of the clock manually. I also remembered that I am not alone in this and that may have been incorrect.

And when the drug was gone you had an even worse depression. Drugs are bad m'kay? They don't sort any problems, they just cause more.

Also strongly recommend having a trip sitter and/or working your way up so you can get a feel for it.

Very important point, everyone should get a good trip sitter for their first few times, it can really help.

I'd probably still try LSD if I had the chance but I don't really know anyone in the scene anymore. I lost touch with my dealer when weed went legal.
TILImgurIsAwesome
That's fair. I happen to be connected to Burning Man so, while I don't really do drugs, they're available.
Linduvan
I find Burning Man absolutely fascinating. I would never want to go because I'm an introvert and a homebody but I'm fascinated that there are people who think being stuck in the desert with thousands of strangers and no toilets is a fun time. Plus the pictures are always beautiful and interesting.

that really sounds like the wrong mushrooms. There are a number of toxic ones with exactly those side effects.

I did, she doesn't believe me and won't test based on the symptoms I have, she says I'm imagining it. Canada has this great reputation for healthcare but the fact is, our healthcare still sucks, it's just sucky and free instead of sucky and expensive.

Lordy that does sound like it sucks. Can you see another provider? I dunno what the rules up there are for CDL's, but if you are getting one in the USA you have to get a physical and blood work done. Its a sneaky way to get some tests.

Been wanting to do this for a while. I've had some great mushroom trips, but I'd love to drop some lsd

Make a list of things you might be interested in. Lots of hikes on shrooms.

Mushrooms you're the passenger, acid you're the driver.

Just make sure you donât go into it with stuff stressing you out in the back of your mind.

Or just be prepared for all that stuff to come out in any shape and form at any time and just handle it, it's you vs you might as well get some shit sorted with the 12+ hours you got on hand lol

General PSA for anyone wanting to try drugs, Have a trip sitter.

I'd absolutely hate anyone around while I'm on shroomies
