Cairo, Egypt.
Hi everyone, this is my first post on a fresh account, I've been a lurker for some time.
Anyway.

I live in Cairo, and the drugs here suck, but the hash is great and cheap, and it's literally everywhere here. But smoking hash alone became boring for me, and ever since I read trip reports about psychs I immediately decided to try it at any costs, especially LSD.
But the problem is no on here even knows about psychedelics, every stoner and drug user I know doesn't even know what LSD or magic mushrooms are!


The closest thing to a psych is a deliriant called trihexyphenidyl, Its brand name is called parkinol here.

There are other alternatives like synthetic cannabinoids (spice). There are two types of spice in Egypt, one is called Strox (its like weed but x100 stronger), and the other is Voodoo (it has the hallucinations of deliriants but the mindfuck of psychs). But I always end up in a bad trip when I try any of them.

Anyone here from Egypt that can answer this question?
 
Welcome to Bluelght Strox.

I cannot answer your question on psychedelics - but you are well advised to stay clear of synthetic cannabinoids. There are over 100 different synthetic THC analogues alone and branded products like 'spice' may have any one or combination of these and / or similar CBD analogues that may be different from packet to packet. Some of these 'synth - noids' have been associated with serious physical harm and death. Smoking hash alone may seem boring, but you have already described the unpleasant mental effects that you got from smoking synthetic cannabis so as far as this aspect of your drug intake is concerned - just stick to the hash.

Yes, I know some synth cannabinoids are dangerous but this didn't answer the question; are there any psychedelics in egypt? I've searched everywhere and no one even knows about them.
 
Well there are definitely psychedelics in Lebanon and Israel. With regards to Egypt I'd say probably? I have no first hand experience but I'm sure it's out there, you may just need to know the right people.

Have you considered growing your own mushrooms? Or perhaps googling psytrance and cairo...
 
[Sorry for the megapost - stims. I know this post probably isn't that helpful, but it if you can be arsed to read it, it provides a pretty thorough brainstorm of all the suggestions I came up with for your question without giving a definitive answer lol]

Without looking up sources, I am 95% certain I read somewhere that there has been an ancient pipe/smoking device found with DMT residue. So yes, there are psychedelics in Egypt.... just perhaps not in the present day. Not that this is helpful to you, but it isn't very often I can get that factoid out!

An educated guess: I'd be highly surprised if psychedelics didn't exist at all in Egypt, but it sounds as though there isn't much of an active community. Thus, there is probably a relatively small supply for a small collective of enthusiasts, but they are basically inaccessible to those who don't happen to have personal relations with this small group. In the UK access to psyches is pretty widespread, as is knowledge of common psychedelics (I learned about them in primary school during a lesson where we were provided info on all the common drugs and their effects - they thoroughly failed to make a single one of them sound unappealing, and here I am). I think most people here order online these days, or perhaps get an occasional hook up for acid/dmt through a small time weed or MDMA dealer. However, I've never met a real life big time dealer that sells bulk psychedelics in the UK.

However, there are certain "scenes" where knowledge and supply of these types of drugs can be found. I was introduced to a psychedelic scene in the UK through meeting folk at parties.... went along to a psytrance event, ended up at an after-party, and from that point on it became clear that a lot of the people I met that night formed a collective of friends that I frequently met at similar events and parties (some of these people were directly involved in organising psytrance events, basically all of them were well experienced with psychedelics). If you are able to find a group like this, then you will have little trouble sourcing/trading psyches. I imagine this sort of thing exists in some scale in Cairo, but perhaps the lack of awareness of the populace regarding psyches means I'm wrong...

Obviously this depends a lot on laws in Egypt (which I know nothing about), but it might be worth doing some research into growing shrooms or extracting DMT. I can't emphasise enough how important it is to know the legality of what you're buying, where it's coming from, and what the consequences will be if you get caught - these are all vital aspects to making an informed decision.

EDIT: Forgot to add, it probably isn't worth taking any unnecessary legal risks with growing/extracting (until you have researched every aspect thoroughly, including the legal consequences, and the ease(or difficulty) in obtaining precursors/materials). If you are really struggling to find anything psychedelic in your area and are dead set on trying, why not take a trip to a psychedelic oriented event/festival? This can take a number of forms, psytrance events would be an obvious starting point for your research, but really anything with a strong association with psychedelic culture would probably do. This won't just tick trying psychedelics off your bucket list - it will likely provide an unforgettable experience in an environment where you are surrounded by plenty of experienced users that can guide you through your first experiences and help to demonstrate the true value of these substances. After all, the quality of the experience is down to set and setting - if it's a choice between secretly tripping on some blotter paper sold as acid in a city that has little understanding or respect for the user, or getting the opportunity to be guided by and bond with a crowd of likeminded people out to spread good vibes - I know what I'd choose. Not everyone is able to find friends willing to join them on such a venture, but the atmosphere of these events is one of social acceptance and most people are more than happy to befriend a stranger once conversation has been initiated.

Obviously, this option isn't affordable for everyone and might involve travelling abroad if there truely is no visible psychedelic scene in Egypt. Also, some people might not go for the festival/party atmosphere, but I reckon you'd be better off waiting till the time is right and saving up for an appropriate event rather than risking legal repercussions by growing/extracting. At the end of the day, what's the rush?

Plus, if you do go to a psychedelic oriented event, you might find yourself making friends with someone who can help rectify your swirly drought!

Correct me if I'm missing something here, but my friend once got a load of blue lotus as a tobacco alternative (as well as just for funsies). We were smoking it, perhaps it would work better in tea, but it seemed to me to be one of those herbs that doesn't really have much in the way of psychoactive effect - kinda like "yeah I think I'm feeling it, but I wouldn't wager money on it in a game of 'Placebo or Intoxicating Herb'" (that old family gameshow we all know and love....)
 
Guys, blue lotus is a sedative, not a psych.

And there aren't any psytrance festivals here. Maybe there are but I've never heard of them. (I asked a LOT)
Literally every drug user and drug dealer I know doesn't know a thing about psychedelics.

The things that are widely known in here are Strox, Voodoo (they're both spice, everyone in cairo thinks that strox is a sedative for bulls -_-) and the rest of the more famous hard drugs like heroine and coke. And no one even knows about meth!!! Can you believe that?

The ignorance here is fucking ridiculous.

What about MDMA and rave culture? There tends to be a lot of acid/2c-x floating around those sort of events too, even if its not your thing it might help you find what your after/meet the right people?

Other than that, the only solutions I can think of are basically what I said above: save up and treat yourself to a holiday to somewhere where a psychedelic event is held. I know this probably seems like a massive pain-in-the-ass, but at the end of the day it is the setting you're in that makes the experience. I think planning an adventure somewhere new and experiementing with psychedelics in an ideal and supportive environment would be a very worthwhile experience.

Otherwise, research extracting DMT. As I said, I'm not sure about laws in your area or how hard it would be to get materials, but you could maybe have a google to see if there are any native growing plant species that contain DMT in your area. I know we've had Australian members do just that.

As an aside, there is practically no meth in the UK either.... most people only know of it as that drug off "Breaking Bad"

I'm pretty sure that there are no psychedelic plants here in Egypt, it's a goddamn desert dude, how can shrooms and mimosa's grow in a desert?

Honestly I don't know much about Egypt outside of the great pyramids, I had assumed there was maybe more to the country than a giant wasteland of sand surrounding that particular landmark but I guess not.
 
there is - the acacia tree is highly rich in DMT and prevalent in the region. What do you think Moses was tripping on when he saw the burning bush :p

Mushrooms grow there. Cows shit there. OP sounds like a troll.

Please O wise one, tell me where the fucking trees grow and I'll cut them all down myself.
shrooms don't grow here, they do if you grow them yourselves by buying spores from the internet. But I don't want to wait months so I can trip!

Or perhaps you're the one trolling us?
 
yo strox, if you can't see you're the one in the wrong with those last couple of comments, then I reckon you need a good old trip to break down that defensive ego of yours..... oh wait

I suggested a while back ordering the materials you need online and doing an extraction. Obviously you should go ahead with this only after investigating the laws in your country and assessing the risks (no one here is going to do that for you), but so far you seem to have just ignored my suggestion in favour of pointing out loopholes as if to suggest we, the people you came to for advice, are the idiots for not having an encyclopedic knowledge of Egyptian horticulture.

Psychedelics aren't just gonna fall into your lap, and sorry to break it to you but bluelight rules don't allow sourcing. If you're really keen on finding some psychedelics, then you're going to have to put some effort in. And as far as I can see, your only real options are home extraction, or finding an event (either in or without Egypt) to meet some likeminded people in a psychedelic oriented environment.

Like it or not, these are your options.

Otherwise, work on developing other aspects of your life for now and maybe one day you'll find an opportunity arrises when you least expect it.
 
Couldn't have put it better myself, OM.

To the OP -- dealers who don't take into consideration the attitude of a potential client when assessing the risks of a possible transaction usually end up getting busted. Just sayin'.

Anyone with a definitive Yea or Nay, please PM a mod. Till then, padlock time.

EDIT: I have had a PM and apparently, yes, psychedelics are available in Egypt, if you know the right people to ask. Any more than that would be crossing the line.
