Xorkoth
Bluelight Crew
have some thoughts on some of the recent discussion here. maybe for later. at substantial risk that I succumb to predictability I'll just get it out there that I have a bone to pick with Xorkoth's proposition that the current era of drug markets and drug use that we're living in is a blessed one and perhaps quite a few of the approaches to psychedelic self-help here.
more later. or maybe I shouldn't bother with that either, lol.
Just wanted to say that when I talk about "self-help" related stuff on here I never mean to emphasize the psychedelics. I mean I love psychedelics, and they have really helped me, but it's possible to communicate those thoughts and perspective shifts in ways that don't rely on drugs. I'd like to think I'm a long way from my younger years where you might find me saying that if everyone just tripped, the world would be amazing, mannnn. I definitely don't think that. I just feel like I've figured out a really good way to live, and for me, psychedelics were a big catalyst in that. And since I've found that for myself, I want to try to communicate it so maybe some other people can find it too. Everyone's gonna be different, but all we can really do is try our best to put something good out there.
But yeah, about the scene today, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, precisely what I said, that I feel blessed that we are able to obtain these substances, is exactly how I feel. It's pretty amazing. We have people pushing all the boundaries, delving into far more areas than they were in the past. We have novel lysergamides even. Of course, I don't like how popular and visible it's getting. I don't like that it's super easy for someone, who has put almost no effort into learning about the scene and having a minimum requisite level of intelligence and dedication required to find these things, to be able to get them. I don't like that they're exploring so many shitty stimulants, or opiates. I think it's a really bad idea and I wish it wasn't happening. I wish it was still a secret little club but it's not anymore and shit happens. There are still redeeming qualities about what's going on now. Do I wish they hadn't gotten into producing NBOMes, and passing it off as LSD? Absolutely. But we also have a whole bunch of exotic tryptamines we'd only been able to read about and even some we haven't read about because they're that novel. To me, that's fucking cool, regardless of the rest of the situation. I think the scene is unsustainable, it's become part of the general rat race and it's probably doomed eventually, at which point it will probably return to a secret club. But in the meantime, I've been able to really deeply explore more of something that I find really fascinating, and I know other people feel that way too because here we are, talking about it.
As for what psychedelic to consider, I would probably choose 4-HO-MiPT as you say. I find the -METs and -MiPTs to be quite similar, but there is something more deeply satisfying about the MiPTs to me. I find them more euphoric and more mental, but less visual and I guess some people have had really intense and out there trips on 4-HO-MET. I haven't, but I haven't taken it high enough probably. But 4-HO-MiPT is the sort of drug that I always have a good time on, I'm always glad I took it. It's really warm and lovely.
need to find an excuse to keep posting here though. I remember the conversation about starting the first of these threads like it was only the other day but it was like 8 years ago. 8 years of PD social threads. and a fuckton has changed about the scene, the drugs, the audience of the thread (both participatory and presumed to be lurking), and those of us who are still there, for better or for worse
Yeah crazy how long it's been since this thread started. We used to delete them when they were full back in the day, I was wondering why I couldn't find any before like 2008 and that's why. It's a bummer, I really wish I could go back and read through the beginnings, those were great days.
