^ that sounds cool.
i never got much from nootropics. i think of the ones i tried i liked oxiracetam the best, but i didn't like noopept so much.
can you elaborate at all? i'm kinda interested in them, and wonder if they could be of any help to me. i sometimes wonder if i've permanently changed how my brain works after using way too many benzos a couple of years ago. it fucked my memory then, and i'm not sure how good (or poor) my memory is now. it's sort of a tough thing to gauge (as are nootropics, but i wonder if they could aid that sort of cognition?)
Oh, mushrooms are one that I forgot to list. I have tried them several times from different sources. Every time, I had at least one friend (other than the one who gave them to me) confirm that it was a "good" batch. The first few times I felt absolutely nothing at all, and the last time I just got a severe case of this giggles (like weed x 1000).
that's interesting, you know - i went foraging for mushrooms this year in the forest, and picked heaps of really stong psilocybe subaeruginosa - and i took some
hefty fucking doses of those things (1 mushroom had all my friends tripping - i had over 35 and the trip just never came up.
on a couple of those trips, i ate something about 2 hours after eating the shrooms, and i got some small "first signs" kind of tryptamine feelings - but it only lasted a couple of minutes, and no trip eventuated.
i kept meaning to start a thread about it here, but i was sort of weirded out by it.
not sure if it could be a stomach or liver enzyme thing? i don't know much about the biological processes involved in this.
these trips were all taken weeks apart, and unlike a couple of years ago, i don't trip much any more.
oral cannabis works fine for me. i'm grateful for that, because i love edibles.

I've felt very jealous lately from reading all of the substances that you have tried. I almost feel like a "virgin" on this site!
hehe, i guess i'm almost embarrassed at how long the list of things i've tried must be. i mean, it's far less than some folks here, but when i think about it, it's definitely not something i feel like boasting about - like, some of those drugs have messed me up or contributing to bad or stupid behaviour. like, i wish i'd not taken all the obscure benzos i took. those things are fucking evil.
not that i have any regrets - but as someone who has tried a lot of different substances, it's not something i would recommend. to be honest, i think psychedelic drugs are one of the only classes of drugs worth experimenting with extensively. which isn't to say i havent tried as many types of opiates, speed or other stimulants as i could get my hands on - but in some cases it really wasn't worth it, especially in the case of some RC stims.
and i'm really glad my RC days were over (and my opiate days!) before fent analogues became so common. i know people who developed highly unsustainable habits (and
monster tolerance) from experimenting with RC opiates.
so, i guess i'm just trying to say 'not all types of drug experimentation are equal'
to you and your papa, xorkoth. get better soon man.
