^For real. I was consumed by maniacal laughter Saturday night when I started peaking on ALD-52, and I couldn't for the life of me even understand what I thought was so funny.

Holy cow, man -- you know shit is for real when you break out into the maniacal laughter. Few things offer as much catharsis.

I remember one time--after having been drug-free for about a year--and being super stressed out, playing disc-golf with some buddies who broke out the hash; I erupted in an interminable fit of hysterical laughter, gulping for air, tears streaming down my face, rolling around on the ground. I think I scared my friends that evening. lol
 
Got some bloodwork results today, to see how my serum tumor markers are doing after my first two chemo cycles... The chemical in your blood that they use as a tumor marker is the same chemical that pregnancy tests tests look for coincidentally... Anyway, in a normal person the level of that stuff in the blood is under 250 (not sure on units)... Before I started treatment I was at like 2300... As of my bloodwork Friday I'm down to 450. So progress! Two more rounds of chemo to clear me out completely and I'll be good.

Next week starts chemo round three. Round four will finish up on May 13th. Almost there!

Can't wait to be done, I need a nice big trip.

Heck yeh dude, you've been in my thoughts. Much love and good vibes to you TNW.
Kick that cancer in its ass.

A couple more days and I'll be Cali to see my family and some old BL friends of mine.
I'm really looking forward to smoking some good Cali herb on the beach. Soaking in those west coast vibes.
 
God I could go for some herb. My herb guy got his door busted in by the cops, he ain't comin back any time soon... and he was the last person I knew here who toked.

^^Glad to hear your making a good recovery pharmakos!
 
Bummer dude. I forget that it's hard to get herb in some places. My little town is full of hippies and artists and weirdos so it's pretty easy to find by just going to a bar or event where like minded folks congregate.
And when I arrive in LA in a few days it's as easy as going to Venice beach and asking someone who looks like they're there to sell pot to tourists.

If you live in a city go find your local grateful dead cover band and go chill where they play, I'm pretty sure that would work, and you might find some new tripping buddies.
 
That big NPS motivations study that was plastering the forums a year ago has been published.

http://www.bluelight.org/vb/content/198-motivations-novel-substances

I don't know how many of you participated (I did). Interesting results--basically consistent with what we tend to claim: hallucinogens are the most widely but least frequently used, hallucinogens and dissociatives are most heavily used for introspective or spiritual purposes, and hallucinogens have an exceedingly low addictive potential while dissociatives have a moderate addictive potential. Also 30% of participants had used 9 or more NPS in the last two years whereas only 15% had used 1 and 15% had used 2. They argue that this, coupled with the choices of NPS used by participants, the reasons stated for their use, and the high reporting of both positive and negative effects, suggests a strong motivation towards experiencing a variety of
states, rather than experiencing pleasurable states.

Of course it also speaks to me that there's a huge selection bias--not only in the study's limitation to bluelight but also in the likelihood that only more "active" members took the time to participate. I do suspect that this is a self-selecting crowd (frontiersmen, "psychonauts") but also that it's a group in something of an echo chamber: we have a strongly stated forum ethos of harm reduction and those of us who are more active members likely have a highly developed consensus ideology about our drug use. The surprising percentage of people who reported making their own drugs (1.9%... low but still likely not representative) also suggests self-selection IMO. I wonder how different the results might have if taken from a different forum--particularly a non-English-speaking forum like flashback or hyperreal.

Other things I noted: 50% of participants were from the USA, and participants consumed less alcohol per year than the statistical average (6 liters). I'm also disappointed to see that 25i-NBOMe was the most frequently reported NPS psychedelic ( ~10% ), although 4-aco-dmt and 2c-b were close behind.

How bad would it be to use O-DSMT two nights in a row? I did some last night and I really wana do some more tonight... Curse you weed drought, you drive me to worse things!
 
Opiates are a slippery slope. If you use them 2 days in a row once in a while, it'll be fine. But if it's a symptom of a gradual increase in frequency of use, I'd be incredibly wary. How often have you been using it lately? Even every other day for any length of time is a no-no.
 
When I have question like that I always think "If I have to ask, then I probably shouldn't"

Good to keep in mind myself because I just got RICH =D
