I'm feeling very sentimental tonight and I just want to repost one of the best bluelight posts I've ever read.

Wow! That description of 2C-C as a "lava lamp compound" really nails it. Good job!

"Lava lamp trip", "Cookout trip", "Hiking trip", "Museum trip", "Reading trip", "Creativity trip", "Housecleaning trip", "Dreaming trip", "Partying trip" and "Erotic trip" are all categories of trips that I've been trying to figure out how to best induce in people as experience enhancers, and @xdrc 's use of the term "Lava lamp trip" just added a new one to the list.

This is an exceptionally beautifully written post, and I do not mean for there to be even a modicum of comparison here, simply juxtaposition, but I literally joined bluelight because of a thread I saw where somebody (assumedly a minor) was asking about smoking tabs of some 25X-NBXX, and while everybody advised them not to, they chimed back in with something like "just smoked two tabs, I'm feeling heavy". It had this comical front to it, but also this very serious backdrop that gave me a thought along the lines of "holy shit I need to do what I can to help further harm reduction". Like I said earlier, I don't want this to be compared in any way to the meaningful and profound post that was linked above in the reply I'm commenting on, I just find it fascinating how divergent posts can be on this forum.
 
For those of you who have known of my struggles these past three or so years, I'm happy to report that my wife and I are closing on a new home next week. Well, not NEW new, but built after I was born and out in county rather than in town so lots of space with only three neighbors within eyesight type place. So new enough, and certainly enough land to keep us busy. I get to do the rural man's dream this weekend of shopping for a riding mower that can cut down the time it takes to mow such a large plot. Not quite big enough to warrant a tractor, but when standing in the yard I can hear the cows in the pasture behind us mooing. I'm excited for the future, for the first time in years.

So no tripping for me for a month or two, I've got to pack, move, list our old house and hope someone buys it or else we'll have to become landlords which I'd rather avoid for many reasons.

Yeah man, I remember your struggles for a few years when I was not having any. And you pulled through. Kept of keeping on. You know? Keep on trucking and you did. One foot in front of the other. I will say though for such a logical statement I am fully aware there are times we don't know whether to put the left foot out or the right foot out first. Those are the toughest times.

Totally warms my heart and I appreciate the updates. It helps me more than you know. I am up to my ears in struggles, nonemployment, wife, family. Feels like it all just slowly disintegrating. Not sure where I will land, but having read posts of yours over the years CG you gave me a little hope that life can and does turn around even after such rocky periods.

So yeah, I remember and have hope. :)

Hey man I'm happy you're happy and managed to get a nice place next to a farm. Let me give you some advice about mowers since I have to mow probably as much if not more than you will every week.

You want a zero turn mower with a really wide deck. We've had good luck with Toro mowers. When I worked for a landscaping company we had Dixie Chopper mowers and they were really nice. I thought they were better than the Toro mowers (and the Toro mowers are already really great).

Anyway you want that zero turn with the wide deck because you can zoom around trees and they can do like 20mph (it feels that fast anyway). One of those mowers cuts mowing time in half compared to a regular riding law mower.

Now here is the trick. If you buy one new they're really going to hurt your pocket. What you want is a nice used one. They're usually 3-4 years old and a lot of them don't have much mileage on the engine. The engines on the toro are made by kawasaki and they're very easy to work on. Putting new blades on the mower isn't very hard either.

Trust me the zero turn Toro or Dixie Chopper is what you want. You'll never have to buy a new mower if you do the usual up keep (oil changes and such).

I don't know how much land you have or what you plans are. But if you have a lot of land it might be a good idea to pick up a cheap used tractor. The tractor comes in handy so much. We use ours all of the time.

You'll really enjoy the land once you settle in. If I were you I'd start planning a huge garden for next year. Maybe get some chickens. If you have a tractor you can build a mobile coop for your chickens and move them around the proptery. You could keep a few cows, goats, sheep or whatever you're into with them and do rotational grazing. You got the freedom to do anything you want and I wish you well.

Thanks everyone! :) I am very excited, a bit anxious too of course. There's never any knowing what new neighbors may be like but I've been scoping out this house for months and feel pretty decent about it. Paying a bit more than what the house might be worth in this market, but we're getting a large shop along with a two car garage and some furnished rooms at the back of it that will allow us to spread out and have all our own tools. And brick siding on a slab, which is what I really cared about most. I'm always shocked how much slabs on brick siding block out so much more external sound. Plus the house is set back as far in the property as possible, away from the road, the way I would have built it too. And now that they've run fiber out throughout county we'll have high speed internet for my wife to work from home which was previously holding us in town.

It's really only about 2 acres, which only warrants the mower I think. The zero turn probably is the best idea because my wife wants to plant all sorts of stuff and have some fruit trees and vegetable plots and move her bee hives out there. Unfortunately all three of her hives died and or swarmed and left their queens to die... not sure why, they were fine for over a year till summer just hit then they started robbing each other's resources till they all kicked the bucket. Hopefully keeping them closer to home we'll be able to monitor changes better, they've been out on some family land a good drive away. Wanted to build out there but needs far too much development and we couldn't stand another year at our current home.

People in town are like literal human garbage. I believe the advent of smart phones in rural towns completely destroyed small town America. The kids all spend their money on subwoofers to blast their music and don't seem to give a fuck about anything but meth now. I got no beef with drug use, but not at the expense of others...
 
Welcome to the sticks! You're out in the country now. Please don't be alarmed when you hear gun fire it's jut Cleetus shooting at pie tins again. ;)

You are now living beside the good old boys. It's great if you want to privacy and quiet which is sounds like you need in your life right now.

We recently got fiber here as well. 1Gbps down and upstream for $30 a month. Can't beat that. The reason we're all getting fiber is because the federal Government back in 2021 I think signed and edict to run fiber to all the populated rural areas in the country. Ours finally got put in last year. I've been loving it. It's so much better than cable.

You're going to want a zero turn for sure if your wife is planning on plants stuff like that. I hate trees because growing up I had to mow my Dad's yard. His yard is massive and it's full of trees. We actually broke two regular mowers before we broke down and bought the toro zero turn. The yard was so rough on the cheapo riding lawn mowers that the entire left from wheel assembly snaped.

I loved that, thanks for sharing it! I have Vortech's book. This reminds me that I should really sit down and read it.

And congratulations, CG! I'm so happy for you! 😀
 
@Pfafffed I'm not sure, probably not this Friday as I have commitments that I need to be straight-headed for basically all weekend. I basically just need to make it happen, maybe the next weekend. Oooh kind of excited now..

It's been a long time for me with mushrooms too. I always feel like there are so many other molecules to get more familiar with, but good old mushrooms are never a bad idea. They're classic for a reason!!
 
Hope you all have a good one.

I planned to trip many times in the last months and have not had the proper set and setting.

I want to do mushrooms too. But as it stands those opportunities have not presented themselves. Life eh?
 
Can anyone tell me if Xorkoth is doing okay and what happened to him? I checked his profile because I was reading my old PMs and noticed he hasn't posted anything here in almost 3 years. He was very active for years here and I'm kind of worried about him.

Did he just take a break because life got to busy? Please tell me he's not in the shrine.

If you're reading this Xorkoth I hope you're doing well.

I found TMA-2 very easy to handle at 30mg, but have yet to try a DOx to compare it to.
Click to expand...

I wasn't a fan but due to the laws circa 1999 it was quite legal in places like the Balearic islands for it's duration as much as anything.

I have scrupulously avoided both those extemely long-acting DOx compounds and the NBOMes given that I found TMA-2 far too stimulating so something that goes on for days isn't for me.

I'm more interested in people finally noting that indoles alkylamines OVERLAY those amphetamines. We already know that 7,a-DMT is nigh on identical to 3-MeO-4-Me amphetamine. But it seems that while people are able to wrap their heads around amphetamines being chiral, people don't seem to recognize that they overlay and are likewise chiral.

I began by just resolving AMT and to nobodies surprise, only one isomer was psychedelic, the other was a (weak) entactogen essentially acting like 3-MeO amphetamine. We also know that 3-MeO-4-Me amphetamine (MMA) was being misrepresented as MDA in the 1970s with capsules containing 141mg of the stuff in each. Clearly NOT MDA or that would have been rather a high dose. But very similar qualitatively.

So 7,a-DMT was synthesized and resolved and turned out to be much like MMA but the better LogP made it more potent.

So I would be extremely surprised if 5-MeO-7,a-DMT was any different to DOM. Not as cheap but I suspect not explictly controlled.

It's worth noting that 5-methoxy indole equivelents to the NBOMes are known so we have a lot of evidence showing that an indole does indeed act like a 3-MeO benzene (meta anisole).

He'd be glad to know that you're thinking of him! People on here chat with him IRL pretty regularly. Last time I checked, he was just busy with life, work, music, and volunteering. New priorities and all that.

I'm sure someone that's chatted with him now recently than I have can fill you in.
 
I haven't been able to get in touch with Xorkoth in those three or so years. I'd like to talk to him just so he can know I'm in so much better a place than the last time we chatted. I think he was worried for me... and for good reason at the time.

Would like to know how life has been treating him.
