Yes, Inception:Audio sort of took me out of the weird feeling bit.

That was interesting....I think the restlessness and uneasy bit was basically confined to the peak.

The come up was alright, that's when I was still by the lake. The peak was when I got home and first started posting on here.......really was unpleasant.

But then the plateau and come down were quite nice. The music helped a lot. A bit of the usual introspection. I think I really confirmed to myself that I need to get the hell out of the city. I live just west of the CBD of a pretty big metropolis and it's choking my soul, I think.

Man, low dose mushrooms is a lot of trouble during the peak for what it is. Higher doses seem a lot easier to deal with in that you're going places and taking notes whereas this was like......."so...uh, we going somewhere or?".

I messed up a bit by eating such a heavy dinner beforehand. It caused the onset to be super latent and staggered. I think the peak would have been more tolerable if it had hit sooner and faster.

I think I want to try it again. I'm going to try a slightly lower dose, to see if I can find a spot where low dose is pleasant.
I think I prefer regular doses of 3-4g though. There, the peak is generally not unpleasant, unlike this which was rough.

After all these years of tripping, to do it alone for the first time was fine. I had apprehensions, but it was actually perfectly fine. It was just the dose that was problematic.

I think I'll go down to 1g next weekend to see if that's a more pleasant trip than 1.4g.

Nothing beats a good 4g though. ;)
 
Man, the 60 mg DXM + 5 mg 4-AcO-DMT was nice, but a redose of the same ratio and dose at hour 1 would have been better. All in all, worthwhile, but needs adjustments.

Felt way more interesting on 15 mcg 1p-LSD and 60 mg DXM. More visually active, and there was some very interesting "blank spots" in my minds void, like when you throw a Nintendo game cartridge in and it's all dusty and not connected correctly, and the game is all blockey and glitchy. Even the following day had some interesting "dark blocks" that would phaze in and out of what the mind understood is or should be present in the material plane, mostly things just out of the reach of peripheral vision. It was a unique experience.

If that increases in a dose dependent manner, DXM and LSD are probably some of the best drugs in my adventure box for synergy. That being said, DXM, deserves to be investigated alongside other serotogenic drugs.

Going to drop just one tab this time around been blast off through the multiverse on just one tab and a half when its suppose to be 110 ug each shook me up didn't trip that hard since i took 600 ug with 300 mg mdma and weed added on top in june last year. Sometimes the LSD just takes you on a grand cosmic adventure on its own will no matter the dose or it was one crazy hotspot.

Isn't it odd the way some dogs are like this? My father in law has a big ol' boxer mix, when I first met him we were sharing a small cabin on a vacation and he spent the whole first night growling at me and keeping me awake. He'd really come at me if I tried to touch my nephew to help him wash his hands or something (poor kid has a shitty mom and a dad that's in and out of jail).

Anyways, long story short, after many years of getting to know him and him being all bark no bite, I can now simply shout his name when he comes running to stop the 'intruder' at the door and he immediately shuts up and then starts wagging his little tail nub and wanting pets from me. It was something like 3-4 years before he accepted me as one of the family.

My nephew is the only kid I think I'll ever love. He's so funny... wife and I don't plan to have kids, I think she's the god mother but someone else is the god father? My sister in law is kinda dumb... I just assume we'd take him in if something were to happen. I always thought I'd be the 'fun' uncle but as it turns out I'm the serious uncle that asks him existential questions and makes him eat his veggies/etc. when he won't. He listens to me when he won't listen to any of the women in his life lol.

Feel kinda bad for him, he's a kid so he thinks the pandemic will be over by June when we were all gonna go to Disney for a vacation... I can't bring myself to tell him those plans are long gone. The virus hasn't even peaked yet, no way in hell Disney will be open in June. Poor kiddo loves the place :( as do I for that matter, we were gonna have a day at Epcot, just the wife and I separate from the rest of the fam, I was gonna bring some acid. Oh well... best laid plans of mice and men right?
 
I pretty much love all kids, but I have a nephew too and I'm definitely the fun uncle so far, he's only almost 2 now, and the last time I saw him he was 1 and a half, but every time he sees me, even on Facetime, he breaks into a huge grin and starts laughing. It's because we make funny faces at each other. He always wants to give me big hugs and hang out with me and lead me around and point at things and have me tell them what they are. Sometimes I tell him the wrong thing and he laughs at me. He's my little brother's kid, and my little brother is my favorite person on the planet. He's 7 and a half years younger than me but basically ever since he was born, he's been my best friend. I was old enough to totally remember and be a conscious human when he was born, and I was SO happy to have a brother, I decided I was going to teach him everything, so I sort of helped raise him, in terms of teaching him how to be a kid. I taught him how to walk, climb the stairs, throw, etc. Anyway my nephew looks exactly like him, and it's so crazy to see, and really cool. :)

I'm glad the trip turned out well in the end, I figured it would. :) I grew up the suburbs of a huge city, though I was lucky enough to spend much of each summer at a lake in the middle of the north woods of Wisconsin/Michigan, pretty close to Canada. And I was in Boy Scouts and did a lot of camping. 11 years ago I moved to a much smaller city that doesn't have a big city feel at all, it's very centered around the nature, plus I live outside of city limits. Being so much in nature (my house is backed up to endless forest) has been such a game changer for me, it makes me feel so much different about life.
 
Sounds like my dream home. ;)

Yeah, I've lived in Toronto my whole life, though I grew up in the eastern inner suburbs near a private park which was amazing. I've been going camping and hunting in northern Ontario since I was born and I work outside so I'm very fond of the outdoors and being in nature. I'm equally comfortable in the deepest darkest of the city though. The problem is that city life is very....harried and stressful. Everyone's always trying to be as busy as possible and rush everything and always have things now. It's the opposite of the way I am. I've been trying to impose my relaxed will on my workplace with middling success, but at least that's moving in the right direction.
I'm so ready to move the hell out of here, though.

Man, I messed up.....in my haste to get to my sunset viewing spot last night, I didn't finish all the tea so I dosed closer to around 1.1g than 1.4. So now, I'm wondering if I should try to bring that down or up to try and find a fully pleasant low dose...if there is such a thing.

I think I want to write up a trip report about my low dose trip last night and my 7g trip from 5 years ago. I found the difference between them to be more than just a question of scale or degree of intensity.
 
Mushrooms have always been a bit rough on me at all doses. I had some insane experiences as a kid but I remember an equally insane mind fuck that was very hard to navigate. Mushrooms to me bring me to this primal place where my mind kind of goes into overdrive and eventually numbs to the stimuli. I often take on a hunched over ape like appearance and have to be out in nature or I feel like I’m dying.

I can relate to the feeling of the city killing your soul. They can be fun, but I naturally (as I’m sure most of us) need the wild outdoors.

Yesterday was a breath of fresh air. Ever since this past winter, cancer related surgery, I felt like I had something missing. Idk if it was the opiates I had to use, the monster dose of K for anesthesia, what.. But I was numb.

Experience like yesterday feels like I’m slowly getting “myself” back. I slow down and for a moment feel true peace, pray it lasts.

I’m still feeling the Mescaline now almost 24 hours later. Cacti is so strange, the experience duration can last anywhere from 8 to 36 hours.

I’m happy too cuz I tried a new bridgesii I received and the effect profile was exactly what I seek :)


Xorkoth I also have a brother ~8 years younger as well as another 6yrs younger. They are truly my best friends, we’re as tight as brothers get. I remember that feeling too before they were born I was so excited to have “new friends” since I was a lonely only child til that point.

I’m very grateful to be so close with my brothers cuz I’ve seen many families which don’t have that unfortunately.

But yea back to last night doses maybe 2pm and was up until midnight before finally passing out. Watched TV, lostened to music, just appreciated life. Good times.

I also find mushrooms to be quite dark. I find it comforting though. It's very much about death and decay and the inherent tranquility and peace in that as well as how that leads to rebirth. That's been the general feeling I've had with mushrooms over the years. It's very peaceful, not morbid nor scary.

Why were you having issues with moderate doses? Was it interference from some medication? A different species of mushroom to what you were used to?

I think we'd get along with being restless. Whilst this low dose restlessness was unpleasant, I'm fairly active on higher doses as well. It usually ends in some mission or other.

I'd say I feel pretty refreshed today, though it's nowhere near the post-trip ease and sense of well-being I've had from higher doses.
 
Hey, @G_Chem.....glad to hear you're starting to feel your old self a bit more and more. :)

I remember the depression I fell into when my meth and then coke and alcohol use turnt me in to someone else. It was a slightly depraved time and it took a long time to climb back out of that pit of psychological illness.

I can't imagine being high for up to 36 hours. The one time I did some sort of DOx compound, I started freaking out near the end of it because it felt like it was going to be permanent and I was so tired and just drained.

I think I need to finally get some DMT....sounds like my kind of jam: intense space/time travel, minimum time commitment.
 
That's interesting, I thought the dephosphorylation of the psilocybin happened through and enzymatic function....I know it dephosphorylates in acidic solution though.

I have only done LSD four or five times and two of those were candyflips (which are amazing, geeze, what a feeling!) and have found LSD to be quite hedonistic and less therapeutic than mushrooms. May have been me taking low doses though.
 
Yeah you can't beat DMT. It's extremely easy to extract yourself too which is one of the really cool things about it.

Yeah the majority of people I know do not have the kind of family relationships I have, and especially sibling relationships. I also have a sister and we fought a lot as kids because we're really close in age but as we got older we grew much closer. My dad and his siblings all kinda grew to hate each other, well not all, but it became more and more toxic as they got older. Likewise with my mom and her siblings. My dad, before he passed, was so worried me and my siblings would eventually do that. And we're like, no, no fucking way would that ever happen, not in a million years.

It makes me feel really, really lucky. I'm glad you have that too. :)

I've actually got a zoom meeting with them in 30 minutes, we've been doing Sunday games. I might have already said that in this thread, I don't remember. We've been playing Jackbox's Quiplash lately, that game is amazing, so funny.
 
After 7 weeks of weekly LSD tolerance has now finally caught up for sure though the love and melting away into the ocean of bliss was still present the magical atomic reality warping peak of LSD was absent. Hopefully lockdown eases up will have to give the LSD a break for a month to regain the magic again. Could truly feel the universal message of love and oneness that these chemists dedicate their lifes to to heal peoples souls. The next 10-15 years are going to be some interesting times for psychedelics. In the past year i have seen many more people taking up psychedelics for the first time. So many people that shunned them and people who used them now suddenly hoping on the train.

My one wish is see the legalization or decriminalization of LSD before i die in old age. The entire world will be transformed from this crisis into i hope something better. Nature repairs itself fast maybe people will see that we can control climate change if we changed everything.

Speaking of nature, with this outbreak we've discovered new species that weren't seen before. That's what nature does. People drift back, nature takes it course.
 
Sunrise, my first solo trip had me feeling uneasy as well. Actually come to think of it that was a pretty dark one. Having experimented with solo trips a couple times I can say I definitely prefer the communal experiences. Even if I don't know anyone there I'll still lose myself to dance and exist freely and full of love. Full sackin it with the homies, however, is of course like nothing else. I think it may have something to do with the stimulating aspects of psychedelics that get me so social
 
It saddens me to think family that were once so close fall apart and it scares me to the point where I try to always keep that close connection open even now that I live so far away. I travel often mainly to see them.

I think solo vs group tripping comes down to whether your an introvert or extrovert. I’m personally an introvert and can often be more comfortable alone with a heavy dose than around others. Music festivals are nice though cuz the music/dance provides a distraction and outlet for those moments where things get weird.

When I was a kid I’d go across the street from my house into these thick woods and take mushrooms, sometimes spending the whole day walking around the woods with nothing but a Discman containing Dark Side of the Moon and my thoughts.

I remember how fascinated I was by how it would make my mind travel down the strangest thought tangents.

One night I remember taking 4g and the trip was a strong one that stretched into the night. I laid in a field as the sun set looking up into the sky watching the craziest things and patterns take place up there.

I was beyond fucked when I decided I needed to at least get close to the house while it wears off. I snuck into my backyard and hid in the trees for a few more hours til I could get my shit together enough to go in to see my folks.

Good times.

That said, to this day if I’m around people I don’t trust my mind goes to some weird places.

One experience took some strong wood lovers (forget the species long time back) and thought our recently met festie neighbors were plotting against us.

In my mind they were gonna spin fire poi for us to distract us while they robbed our asses lol. Later I found out I wasn’t fully mind fucked as they were major mooches but my mind amplified that times a million to this convoluted scheme.

Also very dependent on the psychedelic. Mushrooms are better for solo trips, LSD and Mescaline are more social.

@TripSitterNZ I think it's naive to believe the world would be a better place if everyone dropped acid. Remember how the Manson Family used LSD? Didn't make them peace lovers...

When I was younger I truly believed LSD was the answer to war, wealth inequality, etc. But it simply isn't... some people are born evil, and will stay evil, till the day they die. It's the unfortunate truth.

As my friend's dad always said, "Life sucks, then you die," lol. I'm not so pessimistic as to wish death upon myself but I think to believe that the world can ever become 'good' so to speak is naive and ignorant of the inherent greed and self-destructive nature of humanity.

The world is going to destroy itself. Of course, after all us humans have murdered/suffocated each other, the Earth will move on without us. It's got billions of years before the sun goes supernova. We are but a blip in the cosmic joke.

This has happened in a few places already, Portugal and Mexico, as far as I know - decriminalization at least, if not outright legalization.

Although the reason I'm quoting this is that I just found out about this the other day - Schedule 1 drug possession "defelonized" in Colorado - happened just earlier this year so maybe I'm a bit late finding out about it, also not totally familiar with US laws but my initial understanding is this is at least vaguely equivalent to "decriminalisation" - someone correct me if I'm wrong - as possession of small amounts of these drugs is no longer a felony, but simply a "misdemeanour". Not sure if a misdemeanour is technically still a crime though, if a less serious one.

Sadly - and nonsensically - manufacture and distribution remains explicitly criminalised everywhere, of course.

Misdemeaners still prevent you from ever working anywhere but a fast-food joint. Any kind of drug charges on your record automatically places you in the slave class here.

Ah, well that is less good news than I thought it was then... still I guess even baby steps are better than no steps at all...

Yeah, I mean... progress I guess. But really, how do you define personal amounts? I've heard when charging people for LSD they'll weigh the substrate it's laid on, therefore they can be like OMG YOU HAVE 5 GRAMS LSD YOU'RE A CARTEL if you've got like a handful of sugar-cubes...

And my 'personal' amounts of just about anything are rather large. I buy in bulk to save money, with every drug I buy. Does that make me a dealer? No. Would I be charged as a dealer? Probably.
