At least have 2 week intervals between trips, even that I find pretty excessive use. But it's necessary to get back in touch with reality and to fix the receptor internalization that otherwise takes place.
 
^^^Yeah, I agree....I did go through a period of about 6 months where I had acid nearly every weekend. Even while I was doing it I realised that it wasn't healthy, but it wasn't until I actually had a bad trip that the point was kind of drummed home.

The last time I tripped was 5 months ago, and I'm at the stage now where I wouldn't say no, but I'm not chasing it either...I recognise that different people have different boundaries, but acid should be more than just a fun way to kill a night IMO and be respected as such...

Yeah I'd be pretty much in agreement with that sort of regime after a qwhile once a fortnight becomes well nowt special and I reckon when that feeling shows it's time to take a good break 2 to 3 months maybe. My own tripping regime has altered radically over recent months so that I'm down to about once every six weeks at the moment. Too much or enough too often usually leads to some kind of HPPD effects.

You can laugh all you want, but there's nothing to laugh about. It's simply abuse. Reserve psychedelics for special occasions, not casual fun.

Thats my reason for taking psychedelics for now on, casual fun thats how i like my sundays just kick back drop some dxm and watch football with the family.
 
You know, I get the impression that your only reason for being on the forums is to antagonize people. Almost all of your posts consist of useless shit where you try to fuck with people. Stop doing it.
 
At the best point in my life I was tripping 1-3 times weekly. Now I am lucky if I can squeeze 1 trip in per month, sometimes 2. My life is definitely more stressful now, partly the chicken and partly the egg. My job and social life just pull in me in too many directions to find the right time and place to do it as much. I do feel the absence in my life, especially in terms of my creative output. I wish I could find a way to work less and still survive...
 
now that a friend ;/ has a quantity of RC's at his house that i have free access to, a bit too often.
 
I don't really think that tolerance would permit me to trip more than once every other month. I voted for an average of once/month, however, as I sometimes switch drug classes, since I personally have more profound experiences on DXM than just about any other chemical. So, I would say I use, on average, a 5-HT2 agonist once per 2 months and DXM once every 3-4 months.

My reasoning? In terms of the pure psychedelics, I think both receptor-mediated (5-HT2 downregulation, I mean, I am already on an SNRI) and psychological/phenomenological tolerance would probably fuck up the peaceful and tranquil mental states these chems engender, while leaving all the annoying PNS side-effects.

In terms of DXM: (1) I don't want to over-antagonize my NMDA receptors and risk neural apoptosis/memory loss from lack of NMDAR-dependant synaptic potentiation; (2) doing it more than around 4-5 times per year seems to 'kill the magic,' and just cause a light trip, rife with PNS annoyances, as I mentioned above; and (3) it takes a day or so to recover from the post-DXM emotional sensitivity/amplification and the general lethargic malaise of the DXM-hangover (which feels like a more severe hangover than that of good old ethanol).

On the plus side, DXM seems to (at least somewhat) abate stimulant tolerance (although I don't think a dose of dexamphetamine has ever out-right not worked to help me be more personable, attentive and functional) and my post-DXM day is often accompanied by insightful and lucid prose--the words just seem to flow with a unencumbered creativity. Now I wonder what neural mechanism is responsible for that?

I also love you, blowmonkey. :)

But I gotta wonder: How do you know what the correct way to trip is?

edit:
Different strokes for different folks, right? You get stoned every day, I drop somethin down and head to work or have a day to myself. Mary Jane and I didn't work out, but the doc.tor helps me treat every moment as sacred, see the truth behind people's eyes, script desserts, and get bigger tips.

I hope someday I don't ever need to trip again, but until then I think I'll keep eating this shit. :)

Everytime i trip recently, this is exactly how i feel.
Yet then when i come down and have this large stash sitting before me, i feel i want to take more. Most of the time i resist this urge but its very odd.

I have reached the point where no more tripping could possibly answer anything else for me mentally, because ive already reached my peak. I suppose thats how i could put it.

Hey Blowmonkey,there are those who want to find out for themselves...last one I remember was DexterMeth 8(

It all depends on my supply. So NOT ENOUGH, as someone else said. When I had a good cache of 2ce and 2ci I was tripping weekly. Now I just have to save the tiny fraction of dust in the bottom of a vial for a special occasion.

I think I was just ripped by one of the last remaining online chemical suppliers, which SUCKS.

When I was into salvia (I still kind am) I was tripping 2-10 times daily.

Yep, you're right. It's probably no use anyways trying to convince people that their drug usgae is out of proportion.

Hypnic, cannabis is a very tolerable and mild drug compared to the serotonergic drugs, which have a far greater impact on your brain.
 
you're right. But goddamn, I will never make a post about how the drugs came and got me because they're like russian roulette!

/intoxo doubles dosage, crosses fingers
 
Yeah be with trusted friend(s) who won't fuck off and leave you and be in a place where you won't be hassled by authority figures, always remember it'll wear off sooner than you think.

I don't trip much.....when something to "trip" on are available...it's probably about 1-5 times a month. Currently 3 or 4 times this month. I realized again how much space there is inside one's own mind....never ending......I love it! ;-) ;-)
 
i wonder if all the people who answered everyday til i run out were serious. actually i wonder if i was too... wait what?... nevermind... ;)
