☮ Social ☮ PD Social Talk Thread: Firly Swolks Discussing Mitillating Tatters Fithout Wilters

[vortech]

I am still very excited about something that I can't talk about, but just know it is good.
Something personal that I can talk about is meeting a Tinder crush IRL tomorrow. It's about time I level up on this tinder game. We have been chatting and getting to know each other, and I know online isn't the best way to test chemistry, but our sensibilities seem very compatible, and there has even been a few very curious synchronicity signposts along the way that clearly point the right way.

hey pd what happened the last two weeks?

just came back yesterday from my bicycle trip through denmark.. awesone experience, allthough very windy and rainy.. I saw some amazing nature and had a great time bonding with the girl I have been seeing recently. I was a bit wary before the trip, because we didn't know each other for long before the trip but it couldn't have turned out better, I believe.

now back to Austrian summer heat... 36 C today, will smoke and vape all day and not go outside (besides getting food) :D

that sounds so beautiful man!
i'm happy to hear that the trip exceeding all your expectations. it's so nice when that happens and you have a lot of fun with someone like that.
did you take any photos? i'd love to see some pictures of denmark

Id look into it but probably wouldn't join. Religious institutions have a way of debasing important things because they often become focused on hierarchy and personal power. The message often gets convoluted and derailed. And I like the unstructured nature of a psychedelic trip, the foray into anarchy so to speak. With institutions and legality comes rules and you know they are made to be broken.

Key word 'open-ended' means the institution would not acknowledge any one 'proper' way, instead offers but does not require any sort of guidance or knowledge aside from needing to pass a basic comprehension and HR test to minimize risk to oneself and others. In other words each parishioner can take their journey how they see fit. As for the hierarchy, it is more lateral than vertical. The church would honor members based on their experience and contributions to the institution, and based on their individual merits can take on appropriate roles, such as a Writer/Editor, Steward, Multicultural Ritualist, Mentor, Musician, Theologist, Botanist, Neuropsychopharmacologist, Chemist, Lawyer, Specialist of 'insert sacrament here', and members can even suggest their own title for their unique role, but as you can see from these titles, active members have equitable degrees of influence. Active members can participate in democratically-run committees that make various collective decisions, but there is no equivalent of the Pope or Arch Bishops that hold unbalanced levels of power. Also 'open-ended' implies sparse dogma, just enough to bind the organization with spiritual glue.

With this clarification does it sound more intriguing?

 

[swilow]

It sounds intriguing but I'm.not sure I see the ultimate purpose...

 

[TheAppleCore]

Dissociatives caused me both physical and psychological problems; I can't say the same for psychedelics.

What if I told you there exists a religious institution that allows the legally protected use of plant/molecular sacraments, and that it wasn't designed around traditional religions but as an open-ended spiritual support structure offering knowledge, guidance, community and safe space to pursue one's spiritual journey and to connect with higher powers? Would you look into it and consider joining?

I ask because this will be a reality.

I might seriously consider joining. Personally, I would be most interested in using it as a way of connecting to like-minded individuals -- making new friends. Regardless, I would be really happy and blown away if somebody actually pulled that off.

 

[swilow]

I'd join such a club for sure .

Most people I've met irl haven't even heard of the drugs we take. My litmus test to head down the discussion path is if they've heard of DMT.

I recall going to a cool symposium on psychedelics which was really a doof with discussions amidst psytrance and hippies. It was cool to be among peoples who shared the affinity.

Hey bagseed, I'm going "okay", shit has been mega fucked up but getting better. How are you mate?

And hey tac curious if you've ever played with Reasons subtractor synth? I'm making tunes using only that one synth, its quite challenging tbh but is a useful way to force creativity. Making lofi goa stuff...

 

[spacejunk]

i know, right?
it's funny talking to friends about things like mxe that is a much-missed favourite in communities like this one, but something my friends irl have never heard of.

 

[vortech]

One of the purposes is to release the fear of persecution for the safe use of spiritual sacraments.

Yeah, I figured that would be the main purpose xd.
Nonetheless I agree with TAC about it being a good instance for psychedelic community building haha...



Hey, Swilow, I'm listening to Belus for the first time in a couple of years because of a comment you made about it a while ago ... And I remembered that this track is fucking beautifully mesmerizing !!

Summer in the UK. It's been pretty poor really. Earlier in the summer it was warm and dry and I had some ALD fun. However, almost as soon as someone said "hot, dry summer" the heavens opened and it has rained constantly. The result is that I have not been up to much, but am planning a seaside retreat in Wales in September. Beautiful coastline and great cid = good time ahead!

I would trade you rain for extreme southern USA heat any day of the year. I'm talking 100 degreen F with a feelsl like of 109. I was supposed to trip tonight but the mailman and vendor had other options

So I finally reached out again to Sara. I'm going to see her on Sunday so we can talk. Hopefully that gives me some much needed closure so I can stop fixating on this... Or maybe it won't. All I know for sure is that I desperately want to see her, and until I do, I'm not going to be able to think about anything other than how much I miss her

Why can't I be half as good at falling out of love as I am at falling into it?

 

[KneelB4Doom]

When the trip suddenly goes awry..

 

[Cream Gravy?]

Finally got my internet and computer setup at my new apartment. Yay!

 

[KneelB4Doom]

150ug of acid, 1.5g of phenibut, and 20mg of coluracetam. Seemed to be a very good mix I usually get a little anxiety on the acid comeup which is okay. Phenibut seemed to completely take away any anxiety. I was just kicked back on the couch while the trip started. Most times I am very active on the comeup. Noticed coluracetam visually effects. Very subtle but definitely present.

Wonderful (half sarcasm). I found (and ate) about 4mg of suboxone in the wrapper on the ground when I was walking today. This is now the second time finding subs randomly on the ground in this town, and about the half dozenth time finding random ground scores. The first time was in 2012 at the most inopportune time possible. I had just spent a couple months out of town staying sober, and I returned literally the night before, determined not to seek out opiates anymore. I had even prepared to start taking low-dose naltrexone as a way to distance my brain from opiate agonists. What I wasn't prepared for a fresh 8mg sub strip to be staring me in the eye on the street. The worst part of this story is that I took a couple mg the next morning, felt guilty about it, and a few days (4?) later I started the naltrexone and it quickly put me into precipitated WD, even though the only thing I had taken in 2 months sas 2mg sub. I ended up taking the rest of the sub over some hours to try to eliminate the WD. It sucked. Then I ended up getting back into opiates after that pain. I failed the Universe's test then, and I guess I just failed it again. FML

I just got my hands on thirty free 10mg Ambien (zolpidem) and took the first one not quite 30 minutes ago.

I'm not taking it to sleep; I have read numerous reports from people who say that if you take them and stay awake, it can be a very mild mushroom-like experience with "breathing walls" and such. I've been searching for a cheap thrill to lift me out of this boredom and depression lately, and since I don't have any access to "real" psychedelics, this is the best I can do at the moment.

I am safely in my room, wide awake after sleeping way too long last night (like 13-14 hours), with sitters present. I have no obligations for the entire evening. No other substances ingested. Empty stomach except for a little fruit hours ago. Drinking Coca Cola with two Vivarin (200mg caffeine each) on standby.

4 pm: 10mg Orally (I've heard it's hell on the nose) 10mg Total
5 pm: 10mg Orally (not feeling anything from first dose) 20mg Total
6 pm: 20mg Orally (same as above) 40mg Total
7 pm: 20mg Orally (beginning to lose hope) 60mg Total
8 pm: 30mg Orally (Oh well, at least I didn't pay for them) 90mg Total

Updates pending... 8(

Never got any psychedelic effects from it just a little delusional and wobbly eyes. What about lsa since you say you say you don't have access to psychs?

 

[vortech]

Dreamflyer, you made a thread about dream while under the influence of Ambien? Makes sense. How is that going BTW?
EDIT: "AMBIEN, NOT EVEN ONCE"

 

[iamthetalker]

My wife used to have an Ambien 'scrip. She was on it for almost a year--and came out of it with HPPD. (Seriously, what doctor in their right mind would prescribe something that's intended to be a 7-10 day regimen for a year?!) The early days--before tolerance kicked in--were fun, though. She would pick flowers out of the carpet for me and talk to little people living in mountain villages on the ceiling, then sleep like a brick.

No need to beat yourself up about it, but seriously, you quit opiates, don't go back to that. If you feel a pull back down that road, get yourself a bottle of DXM and chug that shit. A quick 300 mg dose helped me quit smoking when I stupidly started smoking cigarettes for 4 days straight not too long ago. Pull down that path was strong. The DXM erased the craving like it never happened. A reminder that this is fuck addiction 2017.
