Whoa SONN, that sounds amazing. :) I want to skydive one day, I never really considered adding a psychedelic to it, I figured it would be intense enough sober.

I had a really great weekend... my bass player and drummer friends who are in Intergalactic Propulsion Module with me (we decided to go with that name, I'm pretty pumped since I came up with it - while tripping =D) proposed that we go camping, the idea came about late Friday and Saturday afternoon we went. My girl came with too. We found an amazing campsite, well, she found it last time we were there and we went there. We backpacked in. It's at the place that is basically my favorite place on Earth so far, where I go river hiking. We had an incredible evening, made tacos on my little pocket propane burner, and had a nice night. Then Saturday morning we got up early and went river hiking, while my girl went hiking to a different place because she's not too into climbing dangerous rocks and waterfalls. The river hike was incredible, they both took DOC and I took 200ug of 1p-LSD and 150ug of AL-LAD. We had a glorious trip that ended up being some serious band bonding, especially with the drummer since we know him the least (but we're starting to get very close recently). Such a magical day... at one point it rained pretty hard for 15 minutes and we took cover in a cave and when the sun came back out the rocks and the river were misting and it looked like some jurassic fairytale land. Then when we were almost back we got caught in a full-on 2-hour thunderstorm where it rained SO HARD... eventually when it started thundering we scrambled the rest of the way back including climbing up a pretty intense waterfall... it started to get to flash flood conditions after the waterfalls, to the point where the river was churning brown with debris and it would have been impossible to walk in it. Pretty dangerous but exhilarating situation, we would have probably gotten seriously hurt or worse if we had been climbing the waterfall a little later, there were rocks being carried along by the flow and the whole riverbed is massive boulders and smaller rocks, and a smooth sheet of rock at the bottom.

Then when I got back my girl was waiting and we waited out the rain by having some really incredible tripping sex, it was so primal and great. :) Finally it let up and we packed up and hiked out just in time before the next storm hit. Got back, made dinner, hung out, and came home and passed the fuck out. Today I'm SO exhausted, my muscles are so tired and weak and it's difficult to get up and summon the energy to move but it was worth it. :) We also foraged for some of our food, we found some great reishi mushrooms and some indian cucumbers (the tasty root of this plant that tastes something like potato/carrot/cucumber).

And next weekend I am going to a camping festival that's only $30 for 3 days, with some good local bands and this one band who I'm obsessed with because they're so great, the Marcus King Band.

Thank you, 'm always grateful to hear that people appreciate my dissociated posts, especially when they represent the beautiful and positive parts of my soul that normally lie dormant. I think I have a lot to offer that seldom has the opportunity to germinate, much less bloom.

It makes me happy to see that side of you. :) Sometimes drugs make it so much easier to feel positivity. I went through that for a long while, it was the reason I took so fucking many psychedelics in 2006-2008.

I figured most people would say that Xork. I'm just a thrill seeker, I already rode the biggest roller coaster in the world while on allylescaline and 25c-nbome and have ridden a bunch of roller coasters on cocaine.

also, ironically enough it definitely could have been a little more intense seeing that I still have an incredible urge to get a wingsuit and fly around like a flying squirrel human at over 100 mph

also props on the tripping sex brothaman!

lolol I think i'm gonna start doing more font changes in my posts they're funny

Sounds like a badass camping trip too! I want to go on more psychedelic camping trips..... I wish I had a band lol

I only really ever went camping at freeform, which was not really camping because it was on fairgrounds with like 3000 other people

Xork if ya had to choose your favorite lysergamide which one would it be? and why? I'm quite interested in these new ones I just want to know what appeals they have over LSD... which seems to be so plentiful and cheap as of late.

Just got home from my date, such as it was. After days of ruminating over whether it was a date, what sort of relationship I wanted to pursue, and all that jazz... I realized it didn't matter, at least not yet. What I am sure of is that she has been an immensely positive influence on my life in the time we've known each other, and what's really important to me right now is to ensure that we are, in some fashion, a part of each other's lives. We compared notes on the trials and tribulations of addiction and recovery, and we each got a much better sense of where the other is at right now. Her history with H is more extensive, though slightly less recent than my own. I spoke frankly about a phase of my life I don't think I've ever discussed in a serious manner (i.e., not just dicksizing among fellow addicts) anywhere but here: my psychedelic binging phase. We had a nice lunch at a cute little cafe (well, she had lunch - I had coffee, didn't really have an appetite - I never do within a few hours of waking up, and I scheduled our plans for noon so I wouldn't have an excuse to sleep in till PM like usual), then walked to a nearby library where she picked out something for me to read (The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler... it's been years since I read fiction that wasn't assigned for school). I even got through a few chapters in between periods of furtively looking up to watch her read... Heh.

We had to cut things short somewhat abruptly - she wasn't feeling well and had to go home and get some rest - but it was a lovely afternoon with a lovely human being. I'm gonna do my best to make it a day or two before I start making plans to see her again, but I'd be lying if I said I weren't already running through possible plans in my head. I forgot to get to about 90% of the subjects I had thought out in advance to discuss, but there's plenty of time for that next time we see each other. I'm still on the fence as to whether it would be wise/responsible to invite her to the Beats show - it sounds like psychedelics were never much of a problem for her, but a concert where everyone will be smuggling in copious amounts of weed at the least might not be the best environment. She's gone to AA/NA style support groups for many years, so she's more of the 'total sobriety from all intoxicants' school of thought vis-a-vis recovery. We shall see. On the other hand, maybe having a reason *not* to partake in my usual vices and to try and enjoy a setting I associate closely with drug use while completely sober would be a good thing. I'm a lot better at worrying about the well-being of others than taking measures to ensure my own... But for the first time in a while, I know someone I can see in person to talk about this sort of thing, who isn't paid to give a shit about me, and yet - miraculously - who actually seems to give a shit nevertheless. It's a nice feeling.

e: Oh and SONN, funnily enough... She mentioned yoga as one of the sober activities that really seemed to help her get over H. Natural endorphins and all that good stuff... I think I might be too lazy / self-conscious about my poor physical fitness to partake, but then again, I've always been a little too effective for my own good at making excuses not to do things that would probably be healthy for me. Perhaps getting over that and trying something outside my comfort zone will be the next example of her having a positive influence on me. Or perhaps I'm just lazy and that's okay... Diff'rent strokes, etc.
 
Hey PDers, how's it been?

Haven't been on here really in a few weeks, I went home to visit family and friends which was pretty fun overall. I'm beginning to realize though that in these next months when I move back in with my folks temporarily, I'm gonna get into it a lot with them and be quite stressed from my overbearing mother and my stubborn "my way or the highway" father.

I'm pretty settled on working to get certified for high school teaching back home, after a lot of thinking about various career paths. Something about teaching seems like one of the most honest of jobs one could have. I would actually be helping society and getting paid what I think is plenty enough to do so. If people need more than 40-50k a year to live, then they're either weighed down by children or they're stuck too much in materialism.
 
Soli, I will say, for me getting in shape was one of the most crucial parts of opiate recovery, and it also really transformed my life and self-confidence. I started going to the Y and doing cardio and lifting weights and I feel SO MUCH better now, it's crazy. Getting my core muscles strong was the most important part, it really makes your whole life feel better, that and being in shape cardiovascularly. It's hard to start but once you get into some amount of shape it gets way easier to keep doing, and it does wonders for feeling steadily good throughout your days. I did have a lot of extra help, I took a flood dose of ibogaine last April and I came out of it without any shittiness or cravings for opiates, plus a strong motivation to work out and eat healthy. So it sort of happened for me pretty easily (in a way, not that it was easy to do a flood dose of ibogaine), but I'm telling you because I am positive that had I not worked at it afterwards, I wouldn't be feeling so good now. It's amazing what nutrition and exercise will do for you. I was always the type before to make excuses not to do it (especially on the exercise front), but now that I've gotten into it, I'll never not do it again, the difference in my life is astounding.

So far, LSD for sure, but I am excited to try ETH-LAD when I get the chance. Even 1p-LSD isn't quite as good as LSD for me thus far, though it's nearly identical, just seems a bit "softer".
 
lol I've already posted on here about my twisted fantasy of injecting myself with DMT and K and jumping out of a plane as soon as I am conscious enough to make the decision



^that guys performances are fucking insane! they also remind me a lot of the way a really strong dissociatives make me feel

I'm sure some dissociative users will love that vid as much as me



A fellow Olivier de Sagazan fan! Nice dude.

And sweet Parachuting story.
 
Hell yeah Xork and Soli! I'm also back on the dating scene...finally split up with the wifey after 2 years of shitty uncertainty and infidelity on her part. I'm not even angry with her at this point because I feel that it is best for us to go our separate ways. It's weird to be single after being in a relationship for over 10 years. But I feel like I'm in the prime of my life. I know who I am and what I want...it's empowering. And the whole dating thing is much more straightforward than it was in my late teens/early 20s.

Been hanging out with a really cool, outdoorsy chick from Alaska recently. We're making plans to do some backpacking and psychedelics together. :)

p.s. SONN, glad you enjoyed it. I skydived on the tail end of an AMT trip and got nauseous as hell. Glad it went better for you!

It is a very valuable job, I know a few of my teachers had a wonderful influence on me that can't be accounted for in a system based upon state standards and test based evaluations (my humanities/philosophy teacher, who was so crazy tenured he could do whatever he wanted, taught a class that really wasn't based on the actual memorization and academic work. I know I copy-pasted all my reports and was never called out on it, but that didn't matter to him, he was all about getting students engaged with the subject matter, making them think for themselves in a nonjudgmental environment. I left that year a different person than when I entered largely because of the fellow, and his class left with me with a lifelong interest in the subject), and I considered them my friends, I would visit a junior high teacher of mine until my early twenties, when I eventually stopped due to the shamefulness of my life. I attended another teacher's wedding while I was in high school we got on so well. I don't think I could work the job myself, I don't have the patience to teach a bunch of kids that don't want to be there.

Glad to hear about everyone's summer of love lol <3

This cute little blonde girl who was four grades below me in high school just recently started talking to me and pretty much asked to be my girlfriend 8o never had that happen before!

I was saying I needed someone to motivate me to better myself and my life and help keep me in line and she was like 'I'm the gal for the job' despite the fact that I haven't seen her in person since high school when she was like wayyyyyy too young. She seems to realllllly like me and literally has a 'summer bucket list' planned of shit were gonna do as soon as I get back to philly. She's a really sweet girl she doesn't even drink alcohol but she smokes weed occasionally and she goes to college and has a job at starbucks... I feel like a lucky little trippy bastard lol

she's like not even five feet tall and she's very pretty I'm literally astounded that out of nowhere she likes me so much. I've been texting her and snapchatting her and i'm gonna facetime her tomorrow to have a better idea of what actually hanging out with her is going to be like lol

a sober girlfriend will be so great and refreshing after dealing with a manipulative junkie(my ex) for like a year.

I really fear for anyone doing heroin right now, two of my friends died of overdoses yesterday :( one of which I feel partially guilty about because I did coke with him a few times and he told me it was the best he ever tried. Literally like 10 people I know have died from heroin this year, including my own brother. I guess it probably has to do with the fact that Philly is like the heroin capital of the east coast :! which is one of the main reasons I'm getting so sick of that ghetto ass place. North philly really does seem like the trashcan of the world at times.

I feel so loved on here right now =D everyone seemed to enjoy my skydiving trip report. I honestly wanted to find a good trip report about skydiving for a long time but never really came across a very memorable one, and now I finally got to do it myself!

yesterday at yoga the teacher said this, "Spread some love into the universe, we could all use it."

I'd never heard that before despite it being so simple and so profound so I think i'm gonna keep spreading the message and hopefully the love as well <3

I love you all

Sorry to hear that man, except I feel where you're coming from so hard, so actually mostly I'm really happy for you. :) Your current experience mirrors my own quite closely, except I was with my ex for 12 years and there was no infidelity (except for a weird thing where she told a good friend she had feelings for him right at the very end). Finally split last February and it felt so good once a couple of weeks went by. I've been dating a really cool outdoorsy girl since September, so it's been a good while now... I honestly didn't know that someone could be so cool to date, it's been amazingly chill. And it's kept getting better, I'm definitely in love again now, trying to get the nerve to tell her, it's not that I think she doesn't return the feeling (I am sure she does), it's just that I'm afraid to go there again just a little bit still, like saying it will make it more real or something. I think it in my head to her several times every time we see each other. Also I really was trying to just casually date a few people when we met, it just was so awesome that I didn't want to stop dating her. I ended up marrying the first person I ever had sex with and now this is the second person I've had sex with... it's kinda weird and I'd like to explore other people but on the other hand that would in no way be worth ruining what I've got going on right now... she may be damn near the perfect woman for me (plus the sex is pretty amazing, best I've had for sure). In all these months there hasn't been anything that's even close to negative in our interactions together, no fights, no anger, nothing but closeness and fun and sweetness and support.

Plus, she loves to camp and backpack and hike and forage for wild edibles and garden and all those things I also love, and she wants to trip with me, and she likes hanging out with me and my friends while we're tripping. :) And she just likes me for who I am and isn't interested in changing me... I've gotten really into playing music and even though it's not her thing really, she always insists I prioritize it over her on a given day if we have practice or something. It's pretty much my dream situation with a relationship. She really values her alone time, as do I, so we'll generally spend a couple of days together and then a couple of days apart without any contact, which is perfect for me.

So great to see some of the old school PD crew back here. <3

(Sorry to everyone else for repeating myself for the 97th time about my dating status, but we got some new/old faces around)

I'm really sorry to hear that man. :( <3 That's rough... ever consider leaving? Is there somewhere else you have ever wanted to live?
 
Xor, some of your jams are really amazing! Keep it up.

Btw, I've probably ready 80 of your 97 relationship updates. ;) I haven't been posting much, but I check in fairly regularly. Oddly, my relationship also lasted exactly 12 years and regarding the infidelity, it was more emotional than physical...still different than your situation, but yeah, more similar than different I think. And once I was ready to start dating again, I thought I'd date around for a while and keep it casual, but damn, on my 2nd date I meet this really cool woman and we really hit it off. Definitely revived my libido! It's still super early, but I'm going with this and guess I'll see where it takes me...

NKB, maybe you should go into education. I think you could be quite good at it. Just teach to the kids that do want to be there.
 
Nice man, it's cool to draw some parallels. If you're ever in the area hit me up, I still want to meet you. :)

Thanks for the words about the jams too. :) We're very passionate about it, we play very frequently and are getting better and better. The vast majority of what we've played is either not recorded or else I didn't bother posting it.

Had band practice today with my friends' band (my band now too I guess). We played the song I learned last week with the entire band and it went really well. We also jammed at the beginning, I haven't heard it yet but I remember feeling really good about it while it was happening. I'm so lucky that my friend managed to put together a professional home recording studio... it means we can record whatever we want for free, whenever we want. It adds a whole new element to jamming when you can re-listen forever... you learn so much more.
 
So it looks like I'll be spending at least a few days exploring Europe later this summer! I'll be joining my folks for a couple days in Rome (they're going from July 22-29, not sure which end of their trip I'll join them for - still working out the logistics), which should be fun. Then I'm taking off for a currently undetermined length of time with a Eurail pass and a long wishlist of places to see. A few years ago, the obvious #1 destination for me would be Amsterdam for its, ahem, coffee shops... But I have domestic options now for that kind of pot tourism. Not that there are no other reasons to visit the Netherlands, of course, and not that I won't partake if I find myself passing through the country :P

Any suggestions for countries/cities/activities to be sure not to miss? I want to visit basically every country in the EU, but I don't have the time or money for that extensive of a trip. I'm thinking after Rome (or before, if Rome is at the end of my trip), a night in Venice seems like a logical next stop, then onto somewhere in Central Europe. I'm pretty sure I want to visit somewhere in France for at least a day or two, or at least a French-speaking city; it's been a while since I practiced my French, but it's the only non-English language I can kinda sorta speak and understand, and it would be nice to at least try to immerse myself in the non-English-speaking portion of the local population for part of my time in not-Americastan. Resisting the urge to head east instead and visit Lenin's tomb... I'm sure comrade Vladimir Ilyich would not approve of such a quasi-religious pilgrimage, after all ;) But at this point, the only destination that's locked in is Rome. It's up to me to figure out which of the Barbarii are worth visiting.

e: Xorky, I was thinking the same thing... I was trying to remember if Bluelight uses UTC timestamps or something and maybe your last post was from just a couple hours ago... But nope, motherfuckers be slackin'!
