Your magical half-dozen! (story/report/description required)

[sml-la]

What's up PD?!

I don't know if this thread has ever come up before, but I'd love to hear this wonderful communitys opinions as far as the drugs they would select in their overall magical half-dozen psychedelics/dissociatives/empathogens. This does not mean to give a list of your top 6 psychedelics, top 6 dissociatives, and top empathogens, but rather, your top 6 drug experiences within all three of these criteria. Please include your commentary/opinion for each, and maybe the drugs you plan to try in the near future, that you are very intrigued about and think could tentatively make it into your magical half-dozen.

--------------------------------------------

Here's my current magical half-dozen

1. LSD
----Lysergic Acid Di-ethyl Amide is without a doubt the most monumental psychedelic I have ever had the chance to experience. My experience with LSD is less than I'd like (only having used 1-4 hits of this substance 15-20 times, about to eat some today :D), but every time I have taken it, it has shown me the most perfect, unique synergization between the mind and body. The mental processing I undergo on this drug is an unparalleled intellect, having the ability to set off my thoughts like fireworks (watching them burst into manipulated versions of the same thought, perceived in different tones, different interpretations, different misinterpretations, dark/bright outlooks of the thought, what the thought is composed of and what the thought can compose). This drug holds great significance with me, and I marvel the beauty of a chemical so precious. I am glad that it lets me relish in it only so often, because I would hate to play this drug out like I have other psychedelics/dissociatives/empathogens.

2. Ketamine
----I never thought I would be the type to really dig into dissociatives much, after only trying Salvia, then Nitrous, and lastly DXM. DXM definitely ripped me out my normal universe, but it didn't really strike me as anything I really would like. It is what turned me on to searching for Ketamine. After I found my vet connect, I had my very first Ketamine experience. Before too long, I had my first K-hole experience. The first time I K-holed, I knew that me and this drug would grow VERY close, and we did. This drug fills me with such a sense of spirituality. Not normal deitic type spirituality, but moreso spirituality in a sense of machines/code. Like everything inside existence are different manifestations of the same (or similar) programs inputting the same codes/progressions. It was magnificent to see the dimensions of reality Ketamine exposed me to, as well as the mental processes that were a result of this exposure. Though I calmed down with my Ketamine use after my grand mal seizure from over-using the stuff for too long, I still believe that the type of understanding and insight I have gained from this drug have been well worth it, and something I would advocate anybody take the time to try, with no fear.

3. DOC
----My favorite phenethylamine for sure! Very similar to LSD in my opinion, except slightly more abrasive mentally than LSD. This chemical seems to lack the mental UMPH that LSD gives, which in some occasions, such as tripping with large groups of people, is kind of a plus. It does have a very notable mental aspect to it, as well as a very comfy body high, with visuals very reminiscent of lower-mid-range doses of LSD. It reminds me of LSD with a low dose of Amphetamine. Makes me feel the typical amphetamine-confidence and aritculation, with a very LSD-reminiscent psychedelia.

4. 4-HO-DMT (psilocin/psilocybin) / 4-AcO-DMT (psilocetin)
----Now, before I start discussing why I like these tryptamines, let me say that in my honest opinion, I prefer neither one over the other, and decide to eat either/or situationally. I find both of these chemicals deliver the same tryptamine-buzz which I love so much. That chilled, heavy stoned body high, the endless sea of introspection and self-analyzing thought processes, as well as the strong connection with the world you feel, most of such appreciations coming from careful observation and understanding. Visuals warm, alive, and very closely tied to my mind. Truly a very primal drug, bringing me to the roots of my perception in a very unique way. Way much more enjoyable than any phenthylamine (aside from DOC). The classic psychedelic/RC.

5. 6-APB
----By far the best empathogen I have tried this far in my life. The cleanest stimulation I have ever felt, matched with a smile that has no intention of leaving my face, and connection and understanding of others. Gave me the ability to be very self-analytical without any of the typical harshness. The psychedelia was very tryptamine-esque. The lack of bite with the comedown, with sleep coming easy, and no future week-long hangover such as MDA, this drug beats the shit out of Mdxx chemicals for me, fasho. This is literally the only empathogen I will eat out of preference, instead of availability.

6. N,N-DMT
----BLAST OFF! TRY IT AND YOULL KNOW WHY THIS ONE MADE IT HERE

I'm very soon to try 2c-C, 2c-T-7 and 5-MeO-DMT, so I may later have some revisions. NOW, you!

 

[donvliet]

LSD:
The ultimate psychedelic IMO. If done right always blows me away. Very profound trips, drenched with meaning and insight.

MDMA:
Hedonism for rare occasions. Very suitable for personal exploration, relation therapy, partying and sex. Combines very well with LSD.

2c-I:
A psychedelic that can be used recreationally. Still a real psychedelic drug, capable of providing insight and creativity. Fun for watching movies. Combines well with weed.

DOC:
The most visual psychedelic I have tried, and the one that's most like acid. Strong distortions but very manageable headspace.

2C-B:
Smooth, beautiful trip that can be both recreational and meaningful. Combines nicely with LSD or 2C-I.

DPT:
Peaceful, spiritual, heightened perception. Doing Tai Chi after the peak comes very naturally.

 

[ungelesene_bettlek]

my magical half docen:
DMT - because smoking it is like loading the universe in a gun and shooting it in your brain
Psilocybe mushrooms - deeply psychedelic, and long and fascinating history of use
LSD - deeply psychedelic, and not-so-long, but also very fascinating history of use
ketamine - crazy science fiction stuff
methoxetamine - like ketamine, but even more pleasureable, like swimming in a sea of boobs
fly agaric - even more crazy science fiction stuff than ketamine

if you would have asked for a full docen, I would have added:
DPT - deeply psychedelic, but short-lifed in a positive way (if taken nasally)
MET - mild and nice tryptamine, a bit different than all the others I've tried
5-MeO-DMT - because it is the power, in contrary to the glory of DMT
5-MeO-DiPT - it's extremely euphoric and erotic to me
2C-B - warm, erotic and colorful
mescaline - also a classic

 

[TestOfSanity]

5. 6-APB
The cleanest stimulation I have ever felt

That's funny, most people I talk to say it isn't stimulating, and is in fact a sedating drug. Everyone is different though, it is classed as a stim. I got a small sample, I'm waiting for the right time to try it myself.

 

[effingcustie]

LSD
MDMA
Mescaline
DMT
Psilocybin
2c-b

IMO the classics are classics for a reason.

 

[Si Dread]

Herbal Marijuana - I feel that I can use weed for whatever I need at any time, it's truly versatyle
MDMA - kinda speaks for itself, ecstacy
LSD - profound, other-worldly
Shrooms (psylocybes) - just plain fucking hilarious
2c-t-2 - chemical that feels surpisingly organic at reasonable dosage
2c-e - not yet preferred to t-2 . . . yet

 

[Feste]

Mescaline:
Wonderful euphoria, lasts ages, really gentle & peaceful - yet powerful. Everything always feel right in the world.

LSD:
An amazing trip - relaxed, clear-headed, brilliant visuals.

4-ho-met:
Everything mushrooms should be.

DPT:
Powerful & short lived - but never overbearing. Surprisingly strong, but never felt negative.

MDMA:
Introduced me to just how amazing psychedelics can be.

MDA:
Like MDMA, but with more visuals.

Honorable mention: 3-meo-pcp

 

[Solipsis]

In line with the OP, let me remind everyone not to just plump a list of 6 compounds, we have too many of those threads already and they are worth nothing without explanation. Post your magical half-dozen (or less) including a description - even if a little short - that allows everyone to understand why it is so special to you.

A single synchronistic date with fate, while under the influence of a certain drug does not give it any more objective quality.

lists without explanation will be unapproved (removed from sight).

 

[greenmeanies]

To be honest, I've only had experience with a handful of psyches so I won't even fill up a 6-list. I'll just say that these are my top three out of (marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms, fly agaric, syrian rue, 2c-e, 2c-i, 2c-t-7, 2c-c, M1)


3. 2C-T-7. Due to my life outside of drugs, I don't get enough time to fully explore the whole 2C-X family. But my limited trials with 2C-T-7 have taught me that it is a very special member of the bunch, very warm and inviting in a spiritual way. I felt strong connection to my pets on a T-7 trip, and it helped me realize what things I really wanted to surround myself with. I am excited to discover the subtle nuances that 2C-T-2 and 2C-T-4 might offer.

2. LSD. My first and only LSD trip was a year after the mushroom experience listed below, and needless to say it precipitated a flashback bad trip that eventually helped resolve some of the issues that I brought up in the original mushroom trip. Because I still have much to learn from the 2C-X, and since LSD is more difficult for me to come by, I am postponing any further research with LSD.

1. Mushrooms (specifically, Ps. cyanescens combined with Peganum harmala seeds). ++++ experience, I dissolved the entire universe before my eyes and realized that God and I were one and the same. Of course reintegrating after that trip took several months and a lot of uncomfortable thinking, but that is my single most amazing experience of my life so far. I was honestly afraid that by going into the rabbit hole I had caused the world as I knew it to cease to exist, and my parents and friends would be very angry with me for doing such a careless act. Mushrooms on their own had never blown me away so completely as that one "psilohuasca" trip. Also note that 4-AcO-DMT, while clean and beautiful, never gave me the kind of emotional opening that mushrooms is good for. But I only got a chance to try 4-AcO-DMT in lower (8-14mg) doses.

 

[QuasiModo]

They're all magic, maaaaaaaaann.

 

[sml-la]

That's funny, most people I talk to say it isn't stimulating, and is in fact a sedating drug. Everyone is different though, it is classed as a stim. I got a small sample, I'm waiting for the right time to try it myself.

Well, when I said the cleanest stimulation I have ever felt, I think I left out some perspective necessary to understand what I'm saying when I said that. The drug doesn't FEEL very stimulating. I often found myself sitting around, not really moving too much, just talking. Very mentally stimulating and empathogenic. I was eager to speak, to listen, and to analyze things. But when a situation which demanded any physical vigor in slightest would arise, that same eagerness would happen again. As in, we were jamming, switching between playing the guitar and drums, and with both, I found myself able to play with incredible speed and stamina almost effortlessly. Anyways...jsut trying to clarify

Thanks for the explanation, I seem to understand what you mean.

I can play guitar faster on stims, but when I play on psychedelics its even better. Not only can I play faster, but I can play better. The neck of the guitar and the strings feel so much different, truly an extension of my body. I may as well list 6 of my favs.



LSD - Pure bliss to me. Induces a magical state of mind, where the universe and my mind are in synch. It's the psych i've spent the most time exploring, and therefore it has given me the most rewards.

Psilocybin Mushrooms - The only psych that has truly mind fucked me. Makes me feel so much in tune with the earth, and others around me. Has also given me the most beautiful OEV's i've seen.

2C-P - Been really into this one lately. In reasonable doses, it comes on so slow it feels as if someone is slowing pulling a warm psychedelic blanket over your body. In high doses, it's a powerful tool. A drug that commands respect, and it will bite you if that respect is not given. I've had some intense CEV's, reliving past events that were stored in unseen corners of my mind.

MDA - Incredible euphoria. The first time I tried this one I fell in love. In your face euphoria, but very relaxing and great visuals. I really wish this was still around like it use to be.

2C-I - Some people get overstimulated on this, but I don't. It's a very visual drug to me, and euphoric. I watch tv in the dark, and watch fractals come and go out of my vision. Sex was great on this.

MXE? - Been using this one a lot lately. Low doses bring on a nice warm buzz, like booze without a toxic feeling. High doses get trippy, flickering lights and weird colors, and some odd CEV's.

 

[IamMe90]

6. 2c-b

The most beautifully erotic drug in existence. Not much else for me, but I had intercourse wherein I literally felt like every cell in my body was erupting in sexual pleasure. Truly amazing.

5. LSD

My first trip was absolutely incredible, visually and mentally, but ever since that trip LSD has been too tame for me alone (have dosed up to 600ug). However, it makes this list by virtue of the fact that it is by far the best combo psychedelic. In combination with the 2c-x series, the visual and aural potentiation is absolutely incredible, with virtually no increase in body load. 2c-e and LSD is truly a gem in the realm of psychedelic experiences.

4. DOC

Visually reminiscent of 2c-e, lasts longer - less deep, but is an incredible cognitive enhancer for me. I've written some of my best academic papers on this drug, it provides creative insight with sharpened articulation. The CEVs are also almost unparalleled, I get a sort of vorpal inter-dimensional tunneling.

3. Mushrooms

The best classic by far for me. Extremely deep, visually impressive, music is incredibly altered, it's the whole package... I only wish they could last longer, and that the experience was a little less variable. P. Cyanascens are particularly amazing experiences.

2. MDA

The most enjoyable drug experience I've ever had. Pure and utter euphoria/empathy topping MDMA for me, beautiful fractal-type visuals and incredible sonic enhancement. I fondly recall my only MDA experience as one of the best in my life.

1. 2c-e

By and far the deepest and most visual psychedelic for me. The body load is terrible, but adds a certain epic component to the trip, it adds to the depth. I can't do more justice to the deeply turbulent and always therapeutic experience with words, it's something that just has to be experienced to be fully understood.

 

[omicamushroom]

1. Psilocybin Mushrooms - Mushroom have always been my favorite. My first trip with them wasn't particularly great due to certain circumstances and certain confusion amongst trip members, as well as being very young. However, I continued to use them. My following couple trip were with low doses with a bit of weed smoked. These experiences were wonderful. I was at a nice, calm, and even stone. I felt as though everything that existed within me was wonderful. The trips just kept getting better after this. Then I locked down a source where I was able to get ounces all the time. I began a wondrous binge that lasted a good 6 months. I ate a great amount over those few months. I had an absolutely terrifying experience where I thought I was likely going to die, and was having out of body hallucinations. I was completely engulfed in a world outside my own normal reality, but which was composed of bits and pieces of the reality I knew. I liked doing mushrooms combos when I first got into my binge... I used them with 5-meo-dmt, LSD, 2cB and MDMA... and eventually DMT. All provided wonderful experiences. I really love the MDMA combo. All in all, I stopped eating mushrooms often. I enjoy beach trips during the summer months and trips in the woods during the fall or spring. All in all they make me euphoric, in a way similar to DMT. Although they allow me to introspect, and live within the confines of reality, unlike DMT. I have freaked out on mushrooms twice. The freakouts were mostly due to poor setting, but I do believe the frequency at which I was using them had something to do with it. Like DMT, the more I did it the more the mushrooms would tell me to chill out. In certain ways I believe the mushrooms have a mind of their own. I like sharing mushrooms with friends.

2. DMT - Nearly every time I use it I am reminded of its wonder. I binged on this one for a few months. There was just a lot of it going around, and a lot of people wanting to smoke it, as well as me wanting to share it with some good friends. So I ended up hitting the pipe quite a few times. Some morning I would wake up and blast off. I enjoyed smoking it while on acid. Changa was very pleasant, although I've never fully broken through with changa. I was starting to smoke it less by the time my friend had made the blend. I would love to try the changa again though. More than the incredible visual display I love the euphoria that grows within you and around you after smoking it. So incredible. First time I smoked this was on a moderate dose of 2c-I. I was merely testing it, and was amazed by the results. I couldn't wait to grab more and smoke it. A lot of times I have a nervousness before I enter the experience, but upon finding myself in the world beyond worlds, I am more than glad I smoked it.

3. LSD - I love the speed at which thoughts fly through my mind. The visuals can be very nice. I love dancing when I am on a hefty dose of acid (especially psy trance events or festivals). Sometimes it can be too powerful for me... sometimes it can be too chaotic for me. IT can last a long while if things get weird or bleak or just too chaotic. I am not sure if this should be 3 on my list, but I may have used LSD more than any other psychoactive, and I have had some truly wondrous times with it, and it mixes well with many other psychedelics. 2cB and LSD may be my favorite mix. I usually end up in a greatly euphoric place when I mix the 2. This is another one I have enjoyed sharing with people, and have had many insightful trips where friends and I were able to see each other more clearly. We were able to get to the source of certain problems, or instances, of our life which aren't always talked about. Other times acid is just good fun. I've had a couple strange trips with acid, but for the most part I have enjoyed it through and through. I would love to have it back in my collection sooner than later.

4. 2c-B - I love this chemical. I have had some beautiful experiences with it. It makes me very emotional, and very attentive to my feelings and the feelings of others. I like watching movies, going to concerts, going to plays with this one. I like making music with it sometimes. I like how mellow the trip is. Preferred dose is 16-24mg. I have gone higher, but find that it is too visual. Sometimes that's not so bad, I just don't think the visuals are the greatest with this chem. I mostly just like the way i am able to reflect and dig deep into my emotions.

5. 5-MEO-AMT - I have used this tryptamine 5 times, I believe. One of those times may haven been a really low dose. Between 2-3mg, with the addition of some acid and ketamine and mdma... yeah I was young and dumb, and went too overboard. All my other experiences were between 5-8mg. All of them were very pleasant. There was some nausea produced, especially when I ate 8mg. whew... I was feeling very nauseous for a good few hours. i met up with some friends and things turned around greatly. Sometimes I feel as though this chemical is like a low dose of mdxx that lasts for hours, with a slight mushroom feel. I like talking. I like the calmness I feel when I am on it. I like the way my skin feels, and the way the world feels, and the way everything feels. I really wish I could get some more of this... Maybe one day I will find a way to acquire some... My experiences with it were generally 6-12 months apart. I would probably keep it at that level, but I would love to take it from time to time as life goes on.

6. 2c-E - This psychedelic is pretty interesting. I have wonderful experiences with it between the doses of 8-18mg. I have gone higher with the mg, but I may have been too mindfucked to really make sense of what was going on. Environment may have been a cause of the mindfuck in addition to 2c-e's capabilities. Oral doses are nice. I also enjoy sniffing this one, and it has provided some rich experiences. I have used this with different people and have had really good results and enjoyable times. Most people I use this one with enjoy it. I am still working with it a bit. I've only got 150mg left though. Where did it all go?


2c-t-2 may take the place of 2c-e if I give it some more trials. I have more experience with sniffing that one. I find the effects truly remarkable, and I find the trip to be more warm than a 2c-e trip. The nausea can be difficult, but damn the buzz is pretty amazing. I have only done it 4-5 times sniffing, and maybe 3 times oral. My first oral trip was pretty powerful and dreamlike. I have no idea what amount I actually ate. It could have been well over 30mg... or it could have been around there. I need to eat it a few more times. Raise the dose a few mg each time and see where I get. This one definitely has the potential to take 2c-e's spot.

MDMA is pretty good too. I think it is very short-lived. Also, my revelations never really end in goal seeking either. I just generally feel wonderful about certain connections I make, but afterwards those connections kind of fizzle out. I prefer the other psychedelics because they seem more real in terms of what I am able to accomplish and how I actually feel about certain things. One more thing - the come down is too drastic. All of a sudden it seems as though I am completely down. I feel pretty worn out for the next couple days. I don't like to eat this one often. Maybe every 3 months. Its damn popular so it is generally easy to get hold of a couple grams and make that last for a while.

That's all... I think. Its pretty tough to decide. I enjoy most chems... It is hard to pick because certain ones I have used in much greater frequency than others. This list seems about right though.

I agree. 6-APB seems to cater to my playing in the same way stimulants and psychedelics. I am able to play with extreme clarity, and at the same time, understand the dimensions of what I can do with the instrument with minimal brain-power, and often will find my hands translating what I'm constructing in my head before I even finish it. It's like I'm dancing around the guitar, as if I'm some species that's evolved so much that the guitar was a trivial toy from childhood.

And I'm wondering if you prefer MXE to ketamine, or if you just haven't had the chance to try Ketamine...

 

[Contained]

Not really in order, but:
LSD
-Feels so "natural" to me. everything about acid is almost perfect to me. Nothing i would add, nothing i would take away.
MDMA
-Extremely empathogenic, love the energy, the love, everything.
DMT
-Sort of self explanatory, but most of all i love how dose sensitive it is. It takes me where it wants to take me, and i feel confident releasing my control to it.
DOC
-Visually a lot like acid, but so much faster! Love the conversations, visuals, energy, etc.
DPT
-Holds a special place in my heart as the first hallucinogenic I ever tried.
2C-I
-My favorite out of the 2C-x series. Feels less "toxic" to me than the other 2C-x's.

Sorry about the brief descriptions.
