I'm on prozac and I can still trip on mushrooms, but I do think the experience is probably considerably weaker in comparison to those not on SSRIs. Then again, I've unfortunately (I wish I never got on them...) been on prozac since age 14, so I've never once tripped without being on it so I wouldn't know what I'm missing. Of course, everyone is different.
Just curious, but do you like black metal when NOT on DMT? lol. Cause I'm a huge metalhead and I love it (obviously not ALL black metal bands) However, that doesn't mean it's going to be good on all substances. I've only tripped on shrooms, LSD and Salvia, but I would say it usually would probably not be great on any of them...
No, you don't sound soft, but my guess is you don't like ANY metal do you?
Do you know if some people at least are able to trip on DMT if they are on an SSRI and whether or not it's a risk for serotonin syndrome?
If you take enough DMT, you will definitely trip. An SSRI will not stop it.
Thanks. Actually, I don't know if you are right about prozac + MDMA being a big risk for serotonin syndrome. When asking people on here and probably some other places, most people seem to say that MDMA will simply not work while on SSRIs but that USUALLY it's not a big risk for S.S. It's pointless at best, dangerous at worst, but from what I hear the actual risk of S.S. is much bigger when mixing MAOIs, DXM, Tramadol, etc, than MDMA.
How would you describe that experience? Gonna trip at a canyon on 2 tabs tommorow and was playing with the idea of bringing the dmt vape. Never done it before but I'm probably gonna dive in tomorrow. What madness can I expect?
What keeps bringing you back to salvia? I do the same with.enhanced leaf. Sometimes a little dysphoric and intense but never boring. I genuinely believe the reputation as a healing plant. Usually gives me some form of antidepressant type tertiary effect.
I'd make sure you're in a super safe environment for a first time dmt experience, and also wouldn't be combining it with anything either
Heh. I've been dying to talk about this with someone. I was for example listening to a fair amount of Guns and Roses my last week in South Carolina, which was the last time that I could really listen to music given that I now live in a cheap hotel.
No, I don't like metal.
Heavy metal was the first music that I listened to as a kid that wasn't something that my parents got me into. Well, unless you count Vanilla Ice!
Who, I will note, did turn metal.
Like the rest of the sheep I switched to grunge the very first time that I heard Nevermind. I regret that. I embraced new metal when it came out as a delightful replacement for grunge. I am surprised at how many aging hipsters pretend like they never liked new metal. I consider Break Stuff to be a good song with neither irony nor apology.
Also, heavy metal was the last genre of music made by musicians who could actually play their instrument. It might therefore qualify as the last popular music. People still make pop, but it could be argued that the styles that supplanted metal are not actual music.
I played drums in a metal-style garage band in high school. My band mates were some of the better friends that I've ever had.
Saw Metallica play. Saw Tommy Lee. Saw Electric Six play on a boat, no less. Best heavy metal band that I ever saw was actually the Toadies. Not kidding. And I saw a few dozen decent garage bands play.
I reconnected with metal again after I got bored of emo. Hung out in Freenode's heavy metal chat room basically until there stopped being a Freenode. Was really happy with Metalgate. Promoted a doom metal band in NYC for a bit.
9/10, would repeat. If my next girl ends up being interested in music, I'll probably try to talk her into promoting bands with me. Music promotion is about the funnest thing that most people can simply walk into.
But remember, one still cannot simply walk into Mordor.
I look like a fat hippy in real life, but people mistake me for a metal head. I mean, I get it.
No, sorry. I don't know how to play any metal songs.
But what ruined metal for me was during the pandemic I was in NYC. I have quite a few cool stories about that, but they are perhaps tales for a different evening. Anyway, what turned me off was how ovic the metal crowd was during the lockdown. Seeing grown men in their 30's that still collect action figure toys, walking the streets wearing jolly-roger masks took what remaining respect I had for the metal crowd.
It was time for me to move on.
How about you? What was the last good metal band you saw?
This is what 300 angry polka fans look like
If I have to fight something bigger than me, I mostly listen to Flatt and Scruggs to get pumped up.
I do love all types of metal, but it just colored the experience in such a negative and unpleasant way I definitely won't ever repeat it. Even though psychedelics interfere with sensory processing music is a big influencer on the setting
Yeah, I'd agree that usually metal doesn't go too well with psychedelics (it goes GREAT with weed for me, but I don't consider weed a true psychedelic). During one particular acid trip in highschool I remember enjoying listening to Mr.Bungle (one of the trippier metal bands) and Suicidal Tendencies "Trip at the Brain" haha, but other than that, I don't think I've usually listened to metal while tripping. I don't trip a lot either anyway, but yeah, I would usually want something a bit more mellow. I do think I could enjoy Black Sabbath while tripping though. I mean, it really all depends on my exact mood. During my last 2 shroom trips I didn't want to listen to or do anything other than sit outside and stare at nature.
If you haven't seen it, check out the Netflix series "Wormwood" about the CIA's acid experiments (basically part of MK-Ultra) in the early 50s, which led to the highly questionable "suicide" of Frank Olsen in 1953. The whole thing was made by his son who was looking into the truth of how his father died. Some very dark conspiratorial stuff.
