A shitload of stimulants & weed, on top of what I'm prescribed (DHC, lorazepam & pregabalin). Been like that since the winter solstice...
Well, two and an opiate painkiller. I'm 60 and well fucked!you have a doctor that prescribes three downers?![]()
Jesus, DOM/STP is still around? That shit is dangerous, man. Just stick with the acid, a lot of people in the 60s got fucked up by DOM, including said guy in my profile pic (quaaludes are what really ruined him but once he did DOM his behavior immediately became extremely weird afterward).
Maybe you're experienced and enjoy tripping for up to a week, I just didn't know that stuff was still around honestly. Given it's past Sunday, do tell how the DOM trip went lol. I assume it was acid on Christmas on DOM separately the next day? Idk man that just spells trouble to me. The guy who synthesized DOM said it was the closest thing to insanity he'd ever felt and that was just 10mg, lots of 20mg tablets were going around in the 60s, some with acid in them. DOM ruined the Summer of Love, it ruined a lot of people really.
Nah, Nixon wasn't elected until 1969. You might be thinking that's when it was, some people get confused since Woodstock happened in 1969 but the SoL was 1967.Didn't Nixon ruin The Summer of Love?
But yeah, the number of casualties of the era is quite lengthy, and they're only the famous ones we know about. The counterculture definitely had its dark side as much as we might get misty-eyed over it
No, DOM is a beautiful psychedelic that got a bad reputation because a) the dosages were far too high and b) it takes a lot longer than acid to kick in, so people redosed with pills that were far too potent. Taking a 20mg pill, followed 30 mins later by another 20mg, is going to fuck up anyone. Chlorpromazine doesn't accentuate the effects, just a normal dose of chlorpromazine will do fuck all on top of 40mg of DOM.Nah, Nixon wasn't elected until 1969.

The brown acid thing being "bad" is kind of a myth. Wavy Gravy only said it was bad because the guy who had it got robbed, so they thought it was "bad karma" or something along the lines. I've no doubt STP/DOM went around Woodstock though, but it was mostly LSD and grass. Even backstage, everything was spiked including the ice cube tray, leading some bands to start tripping when they didn't want to be lol.
Of course there was probably everything there, 2 people died of heroin overdoses (which is honestly shockingly low given how many people were there and how many people were probably using). Nearly 800 people overdosed but only 2 died. Then of course that kid being crushed to death by a tractor. I don't know if he was on something, but if you're passed out in a sleeping bag in muddy rain probably lol.
They tried to give thorazine to one or both of the badly overdosed guys and I think that just helped kill them. This stuff was to basically stop acid trips but if you were on STP, it boosted the shit out of the effects. I recall reading about this happening around Haight and people developing severe psychosis as a result. Since many medical professionals wouldn't have known if someone was on LSD or STP they would just give it to them. Scary times honestly. Some of the best music comes from this period IMO but I'd never want to live during that period.
Issy, that's a week since I began, have I won a present or something?I finished work on Friday and since Saturday I have been stoned off my tits.
Can anyone beat that?
Acid and DOM on Sat/Sun and edible sativa and oral morphine today.

In PIHKAL, Shulgin states an effective dose is 2-3mg and that it takes 90-120 mins to fully kick in. I remember myself and B9 taking 9mg, pissing ourselves laughing over stupid constructs (the special powers of the Chai Tea Masters!) and being blown away by the beauty it revealed (including a blue that was so beautiful, I cried).
Admittedly, the trip lasted at least 36 hours, but we took a very large dose. It is every bit as wonderful a psychedelic as LSD, in my opinion.
It was synthed by Owsley, who by all things I read, may have been a great organic chemist, but was something of a dilitante, who never completely embraced the psychedelic mindset (a comment from Ken Kesey).I don't know about beautiful, I mean, so many people had horrible trips on it and as mentioned the guy who made it himself stated that it was the closest thing to insanity he'd ever felt, that was 10 micrograms I think. So I suppose if you're implying a dose like 2-4 micrograms, it could be better.
