RC users: Why do you do it?

I think there has been no other time in history that regular people have had access to such nice chems. I feel lucky to take part in it.:)
 
After reading the drug geek character sketches, I would say I'm a combination of the generalist, the supplement geek, and the history geek.

I think there should be a mystic/spiritual geek or a pseudo-scientist geek sub-type. I was surprised there wasn't a sketch for the evangelist geek. Some who likes to blab on about the importance and potential of psychedelics etc. I'd also be one of those. ;)

I've definitely seen some of those sketches apply to the online personas of some people here.

I still remember GreenBarts, "Hey guys I just licked the DOC bag", definitely the thrill seeker geek. =D <3
 
I've always been fascinated by psychedelics...since I became aware of them anyway. The idea of 'collecting' them never occurred to me, even when I read PIHKAL and became aware of the fact that hundreds exist.

Even when I bought my first (X-amount) of 2C-T-7, then DPT, then 5-MeO-DiPT...I never thought about buying more than I would need. At some point I decided that 2C-T-7 was my favorite psychedelic (still is) and that I should buy enough that I never have to buy it again.

Then, more things became available and I bought them and sooner or later had a lot of things. I don't know when I made a conscious decision to 'collect' them...but suffice to say I do enjoy collecting psychedelics and I see no difference between that and collecting coins. In fact, I'd suspect that psychedelic usage is even older than the concept of currency...so there is plenty of precedent. :)
 
I like that drug-geek page. I definitely show the characteristics of "the collecter' and the 'chemistry geek' as I have quite a collection, and there is not a single chemical in the collection that I can't readily draw the structure of.

I used to be "the taster" but I've only tried one 'new' psychedelic in the past three years...I only trip a few times a year...so that no longer applies to me...though I certainly still have an active interest in trying new things....I just don't seem to make the time like I used to. Life changes as we get older...and having responsibilities with a good job also influence things. We all have to play our role in the machine if we want to benefit from the machine. I personally enjoy my warm house over begging for food.

Interesting page for sure.

Yeah, they're like stamps -and they can also have a very rich history. Think of phenazepam...

personally I like telling people about the Church of True Inner Light every time DPT comes up in conversation...

:D
 
I personally don't feel much compulsion to keep trying new drugs at all. I am curious, but can certainly live without RC's. Everytime I take mushrooms I experience something completely different- theres enough variety in the natural world (who, if you know her well enough, won't rip you off ever) to satisfy me. I prefer to not contribute to anyones pocket if I can help it when buying or obtaining drugs- because when money is involved, so is lying, cheating, stealing and fakery. Call me paranoid, but I don't think anyone can KNOW what their taking unless they are able to analyse via GC/MS. Truly.

Im not sure why people think RC sellers are some kind of saint or giving a gift to the world, that baffles me. I don't think their motives are as pure as we'd like. I see no evidence to suggest that these people are doing anything except selling drugs, kinda like bikies sell methamp in Australia. Rarely is much of a warning about effects provided, IME, and often people simply don't care enough to bother. RC's (YES i HATE THE NAME) actually have caused me more problems then good- I want LSD when I buy that, not some other chemical that I don't want. But I still may receive it.

I understand the drug collecting thing- though I suggest it is purely an egotistical, materialist thing. As said, they are just molecules- their matter is irrelevant compared to their effects. I will say to anyone that has mammmoth amounts of drugs they aren't going to use to share :) Otherwise, its like being a Rupert Murdoch, but with drugs not money. Or something.
 
i was around your age too morninggloryseed, did you ever go through a period of use which you thought went a bit out of control? not like an addiction, just a compulsion to trip alot? if so, did this have any negative reactions on you? i feel psychedelic drugs have helped me alot and most has had something to offer me in terms of telling me of how my mind works.

I did abuse MDMA quite a bit which was something i greatly regret, but i still dont ever regret trying the drug because of the first few experiences have changed me for the better for sure.

I just like getting a view from an older wiser person than myself who took psychedelics at a young age but still seems sane now =D (which the majority of you do ;) =D )
 
It's not just the egotistical knowledge that my collection is vast that drives me to collect more. There is definitely attraction to the sheer nature of what the volume can do, the sheer amount of experiences I could have with it. Well, maybe you see that as egotistical as well...but in my case, I certainly don't have the stuff for bragging rights. I concede for a while I had a pic on the web of some of my collection...but it really wasn't just to 'show off'...I honestly think the sight of vials full of psychedelic dreams a magical sight.

I really do consider the psychedelic experience a sacred one and feel very privileged to have access to many fantastic materials, and to not be limited to LSD/mushrooms (neither of which I care for). I don't think it is quite the same thing as hording money....I don't personally think it would be ethical for me to give out the grams of 2C-I and 5-MeO-AMT that I am not going to use to strangers so 'holding onto it' is all I can do, no?

Not with psychedelics. At my most frequent usage, it was once a week...and most of those during the 'once a week' period were a lot of +2 dosage levels...trying new things...not full-on tripping.

I can honestly say that nothing negative has ever come from my psychedelic usage and I have never had any long term 'effects' other than learning from my discoveries and making the most of my experience. Certainly no negative long-term effects.

Totally agreed- I have had collections in the "past" myself. The shareing comment was slightly tongue in cheek. But there is something at odds with hording large amounts of matter for no other reason then to own it. I understand it to an extent, becauwe I do it with all sorts of things- its really just evidence that psychedelics, like most things, are merely tools. I thinking placing too much emphasis on the exact composition of a drug is almost meaningless when your there.

Legal reasons preclude most if not all sellers/makers from giving advice regarding consumption. Motivated by money or not, there are *pure* compounds getting passed around to some very blessed people.

Whats so bad about selling drugs? Methamp, 2c-e, whatever...at least interesting, mind expanding, drugs are being produced and spread vs. some guy making up a bunch of methamp, or fent, and selling to one guy who cuts it...

My world is a better place.
 
Ive had 2c-e, 2c-i, and doc. Doc was a bit much for me but if I were able to ever come across any 2c-x chemicals again id love to take a second dance with them. I love my psychedelics, but at the same time sources seem to be getting lower and lower and well its rare for me to ever find any psychedelics.
 
The thing about psychedelics is they are 100x more idiosyncratic than most other drugs, meaning that there will be ones that agree with you and ones that disagree. This is a good reason to try a wide variety of them until you find your favorites.

As others have pointed out, "RC" is not a meaningful category of drugs. Not legally, not structurally, not pharmacokinetically, not any way.
 
Why does a bear shit in the woods? For me it is the same thing, it's what's available.

I'm too old to be a part of any modern drug subculture. I'm not into psy-trance, etc and if I were I would be viewed (rightly so) as either a narc or a creepy old pervert.

The family does not exist anymore, and although I still go to a lot of Dead family shows, I don't buy lot doses anymore because the last time I did I got DOX blotters.

I don't work in a lab anymore and even if I did, I have other priorities in life now anyway, like working for the not so distant day when I can be just plain old retired_.

So, 2C-I, 2C-E, it's what I have available.

~ Maybe I'm a little intense, but I mean it's proven that changes in diet cause changes in the organism. I think RC's, along with emerging forms of expression, movement, and information processing that's happening in this grand ole 21st century are going to play a vital role in cognitive evolution. If not as a society as an individual. New places and spaces and so many interesting faces along the way.
