I was thinking the same about MDMA. It usually makes me too fidgety to really chill out and think. Then again, I've never had a completely clean pill. One batch was mixed with caffeine, and another was just TFMPP+BZP.
So, I tried a low dose shroom trip. Well, it wasn't a bad trip. Not exactly what I was expecting though. It was only a 16th, and I tried the Lemon Juice Tek to get the most bang out of them. Somewhere along the line, something failed. Keep in mind, these shrooms were mighty old, sitting in my closet for almost a year, and in not-so-great conditions. Anywho, i downed it around 1-1:30. Things started to get trippy pretty fast. I got that anxious "somethings off" feeling around 1:50. 2:10, puked it all out. I think that might have killed the trip actually. I felt a hell of a lot better, but the instant i dug my head out of the toilet bowl, i felt way too sober. I didn't get much of the mental effects. Mostly, things swam around for a bit visual-we, and then I fell asleep around 4.
As for LSD, it usually makes my mind race way too fast and makes me too stimulated to relax and meditate. Although, they were always relatively low, and not always actual LSD.
I like weed alone, and i can see how it would work, but it just doesn't work to me. I don't know if I'd call it paranoia, because I'm not really scared of anything, but every time I'm high alone, i keep obsessing over how i would look to other people, whether what I'm doing looks stupid or not.
I hope you guys don't get the wrong idea. I'm not trying to shoot down your suggestions. I appreciate them greatly. I'm just sharing my personal experiences. I've heard hit and miss things about methylone, and I think that's what I'm gonna try next.
P.S. When I was chopping up the shrooms for the Lemon Juice Tek, i came across a small, silver thing of a spongy texture. It wouldn't cut, so i played it safe and threw it out. Does anyone know what that was?
