Miscellaneous What Psychedelics Do You All Wish Were More Accessible?

[TheLightBringer]

The same is not true for something like LSD - it requires connections to suppliers of watched chemicals, preferably proper lab equipment and a sufficient degree of knowledge (and intelligence to attain such).

Wait, youve never done the orange peels and toothpaste method?

This is essentially true of all drugs. Regarding mushrooms though, that's a drug that could theoretically be systematically hunted down and destroyed, placing it first as an endangered species and then with enough effort, it could be eradicated entirely from the planet the same way various plants and animals have gone extinct. Extremely unlikely, but technically possible. Psilocin, et al. would still be known and possible to synthesize but the natural species of mushrooms could be eradicated.


That's probably accurate, although GHB from GBL is easy. DMT extraction from certain root barks is also fairly easy. Meth from ephedrine is easy if you have the precursor and reagents needed and know what you're doing.

I love how some people think they're "cooking ketamine" when they dehydrate a saline solution containing ketamine.hcl. That doesn't count. Also converting coke to crack is easy, though it doesn't really count either.


While I take your meaning – you don't need special grow lights nor exposure to sunlight for specific hours each day to grow shrooms – there are some light requirements. The mycelium should be grown in the dark, but to initiate pinning, you need light to trigger that mycelium. Basic indoor lights that any room has is sufficient though. Also, indeed gas exchange is necessary to grow shrooms and adequate ventilation along with adequate humidity/moisture levels are needed as well. It smells faintly of wet perlite, but it doesn't reek the way cannabis does. The difficulty is in maintaining sterility, which usually isn't that difficult once you know what you're doing.


You mean other than the fact you can't feel the effects of MDMA and the effects of many psychedelics are partially suppressed & dulled if not muted by the Zoloft? Or does that not happen with you? Many people experience weight gain and sexual dysfunction along with a drop in libido even after months of being on it. What about atypical antidepressants? Given the severity of your condition, you may not be inclined to experiment here, and I wouldn't blame you if that were the case. I'm just not a fan of what SSRIs sometimes do to certain people, but what does it matter what I think? If it works for you, it works.

Do you ever think about trying a different medication, or you're good with Zoloft so why bother?

Zoloft has made enough of a difference to definitely be worth taking, but if they are adjunct treatments I can add to it that I may benefit from, why not try them? I had very severe depression all of the time before and no I have moderate depression off and on. So, huge improvement, but if (es)ketamine can provide additional relief, that would be awesome.
I didn't say that it had no side effects, I said that I PERSONALLY do not experience any side effects from it, including none of the ones you mentioned. No weight gain, so sexual side effects, no diminishing of their effect of any drugs.

I didn't say that it had no side effects

Easy, killer. No need to be defensive. I never claimed nor implied that you said there were no side effects. Where did you get that from?

I said that I PERSONALLY do not experience any side effects from it

You also don't need to ALL CAPS YELL at me. I read what you wrote the first time. That's why I specifically said I'm "not a fan of what SSRIs sometimes do to certain people" figuring it would be obvious that I was carving out an exception space for people such as yourself who don't experience the side effects that many others do.

In general, with cases such as your own notwithstanding, I believe SSRIs, SNDRIs & the sort are overprescribed and laden w/side effects for too many ppl, even if not you / everyone. And doctors are just doing speculative work on their patients, like, What's that? Zoloft not working for you? Ok I'm gonna try switching you over to Paxil and we'll see how you tolerate that one… What's that? It's causing you to feel suicidal? No worries, let's switch you over to Effexor… or Celexa… or Cymbalta. See how sophisticated our meds are, what, with their negatively charged oxygen atom connecting moieties and affording us enantiomeric shielding? See how selective our monoamine reuptake inhibitors are? … even though we don't really know howTF they work exactly or how they'll affect an individual without barbaric-ass primitive guess & test methodologies like some hack apothecary from the 17th century wearing a pointy hat with moon- and star-shapes sown into it, carrying a flagon of "Quicksilver" (read: elemental mercury) he keeps sipping from for its "health restorative properties", and rambling about alchemical elixirs and homemade spirits …

Any acid what has happened to acid used to be everywhere you was tripping out all the time.e been years since some one said I got some the cheapest and best buzz

Any acid

You wish acid were more accessible? Seems fairly ubiquitous to me. Where do you live that you can't find acid?

what has happened to acid

The quality is through the roof and I've never seen so many media at once: blotter, liquid, gel tabs, microdots and even sometimes pressed tablets are all available right now in any of the big cities of the U.S., some of it domestic, some of it imported. Maybe fire your dealer & get better connections? Networking is clutch.

used to be everywhere

Still is as far as I can tell.

you was tripping out all the time.

Still am. LSD is still my all time favorite drug nearly three decades after first taking it in the mid-90s.

been years since some one said I got some the cheapest and best buzz

It's funny bc I don't really consider tripping to be a "buzz", but that's just semantic preference. Personally I feel like we're living in a sort of new Golden Age of LSD where not only is it abundant and cheap, but I've had the opportunity to take ETH-LAD, AL-LAD, 1P-LSD, 1cP-LSD, ALD-52, 1v-LSD, MIPLA and other exotic lysergamides I never thought I'd ever have the chance to try in my lifetime. Sure, L is not quite as popular as cannabis, cocaine, MDMA or ketamine (never thought K would be so popular, either), but it's not far behind them, and is still a mainstream popular drug despite its Schedule I status.

The caps were meant for emphasis, not yelling, lol.

Yeah, I absolutely think they're overprescribed, too. I think depression is way over-diagnosed in the first place. Same with anxiety. Like, if you can say "I'm depressed about..." or "I'm anxious because..." then you don't have depression or an anxiety disorder, you are experiencing a normal emotional reaction to whatever that circumstance is.
