How often do you dose?

Atm i do about 5g of mushrooms every weekend with some nitrous and dmt.

But then i can go months without tripping like last fall.
Havent done lsd since august last year.

Paid for a small tank of nitrous for a festival soon so i guess im going to do a shitton of acid soon hehe
 
Dose on what? Coffeine and Theobromine: almost daily. Typical Psychedelics: only once every 2-4 months. Dissociatives: unfortunately, I am quite addicted to them and take them whenever possible.

That was a new trip report actually, it was DOF which is a psychedelic amphetamine, I felt more capable actually. But yeah I also wouldn't recommend an axe in general while tripping. =D
Why didn't you use a chainsaw? ;)

EDiT: You did, didn't you?

3:00pm (T+2:30) - I just got back inside from chainsawing/carrying big tree trunk rounds/splitting.

You haven't tried 2cb yet? Bruh it's fun. Sniffing it hurts but goes away fairly quick feels like you got punched in the nose. Plugging it also is great because both ways take half the dose as taking it orally. Great substance.

I'm an absolute dummy. So unless I run into someone selling it (highly, highly unlikely based on where i live), i probably won't ever get to do it. Not even close to smart enough to successfully figure out how to properly buy stuff off of those wonderful sites that sell stuff that isn't so, ya know, legal.. ;)

But if i ever figured it out, I know EXACTLY what my first order would be.

I failed to mention nitrous in my original post. Love Nitrous. Haven't done it since August, though.
 
Dont call yourself a dummy man. Always say imma learn how to do this right. Using TOR, PGP, and cryptocurrency is not too hard to learn and grasp.

As long as your a buyer and not buying crazy amounts of substances and dont buy from someone that is sending thru customs and dont tell people how you obtain your meds/recreational meds the police aren't gonna waste time on you. You really dont have anything to worry about. Worst case scenario is they do a controlled delivery but since you used PGP for communication and paid using anon coins nothing is gonna happen to you. 2nd worst case scenario is they seize your package and send you a letter.

I have no fear of getting caught. But i am a dummy. A tech dummy, at least. I can't even properly download tails or whonix. I've tried. Recently lol. I honestly don't think my computer can even use the software.

I would honestly use as little safety precautions as I could and just get some bitcoin, go to a DNM and buy some stuff using only a pgp. I honestly don't think I'd be at a much higher risk of getting in trouble if I ordered domestically. But I feel like that's disrespectful to the whole process, so I won't do that.

I did recently get insanely lucky and successfully order 4-aco-mipt on a clear net site. But the customer service was literally non-existent and I just have to chalk it up to luck that it even came.
 
First ditch bitcoin investing. Litecoin to Monero is where things are right now IMO. You have to specify identity to buy litecoin/bitcoin etc from most exchanges. But once you trade your stock of "legit" crypto for anon coins you're not in risk if you follow the rules.

Use a laptop that is not registered to you in any way. Gut the HDD IMMEDIATELY. Buy a quality USB drive to install Tails on an you're good to go. Remember your master passwords no matter what. Write me down an lock em in a safe need be cuz if cops get a warrant on your residence, written down username and passwords make you look too suspicious in court lmao.

ALL HAIL XMR!

I work my ass off and pay my taxes dont try and tell me what I can a cant spend MY money on. Fuck outta here with that.
 
I've ordered things to my house probably 30 times over the course of my life (at least), and never had any issues. Not that that means you shouldn't be careful, but...

Why didn't you use a chainsaw? ;)

EDiT: You did, didn't you?

Yes I did. I was cutting up a fallen tree and also splitting the rounds I cut with an axe. Good times, I love splitting wood. Very satisfying.
 
Hey Shadow, I have am ex band member who now lives in UP Michigan that goes through 7-8 cords of firewood every winter if you're interested in some extra wood chopping ;)

And yes, we would chop wood while dosing if we needed it. It's like riding a bike or playing guitar, largely muscle memory. You can get in a very transcendental state chopping wood even without LSD if you have the right mindset and treat it like meditation. Very Zen.
 
Agreed, it's probably my favorite workout. Therapeutic and healthy.

Back when I hadn't tripped often I felt like I couldn't function in any real-world way on psychedelics but with enough experience that changes. Shulgin and company wrote about doing all sorts of "normal" things while tripping.
 
In the 60's I belonged to a group of folks whose aim it was to "function on acid". I used to do all sorts of complicated wiring, etc out of my gourd.

Man, I wish I had a time machine. Those were some of the happiest days of my life.
 
I bet. Yeah back in my days of tripping way too much I use to eat psychedelics at work just to see if I could get away with it and still function (I could and did). In some ways I find weed more incapacitating than a reasonable dose of LSD.
 
For the first ten years of my psychedelic use, I took them once or twice a year at most, sometimes skipping a year or so. This didn't include salvia divinorum, which I used much more frequently for a few years. After a spell of depression that lasted more than half a decade where I took very psychedelics, I decided to throw caution to the wind. Realizing that the depression had done more harm to my mental function than drugs ever did, I returned to psychedelics and started using them once every week or two for several years. Over a period of months, my depression started to recede and has been mostly at bay provided that I take a psychedelic once every two to eight weeks, with efficacy dependent on the psychedelic, the dose, and the duration. Some work well, some do nothing at all. They have definitely played a huge part in bringing joy and satisfaction back to my life, and in helping me get out of ruts and form healthier habits and relationships over the last five years. I find that I don't need to use psychedelics all that frequently anymore now, in part because of the benefits they've imparted already and in part because there's less guesswork in finding out which will be beneficial.

Because of my better understanding of these materials, I use them more like specialty tools. It's hard to say how often I "trip," because I use them so differently. I might have one proper psychedelic experience every 4-6 weeks, but I might intersperse some low dose use of short acting phenethylamines to enhance a visit to a concert or art gallery. Similarly, I might vape a strong dose of a light, short-acting tryptamine after work here and there to kick myself out of a bad mood or spend some quality time with my partner. Neither of these fulfill what I'm looking for out of a typical psychedelic experience, but improve my quality of life in much the way that I feel others use alcohol, but healthier and more targeted. It's nice to have extra tools in the toolbox.

The last time I tripped hard was last summer... usually for me it's a more targeted use, like you said. I trip most often to enhance nature excursions (it's like church for me) or enhance musical creativity. Whereas all of my earlier trips when I was less familiar with these states, I went deep into my psyche and had my world transformed.

Awesome that they've made such a tangible improvement in your life.
 
I was usually doing 1x a week on fridays while in senior year of college. Sometimes it was every 2 weeks or 3 weeks but for most of college it was once a week. Dose usually 3-5 hits.

I've probably dosed over 100x times by now, been dosing for 3 years probably. Years 1 and 2 it was really frequent, like once a week or once a month. But this last year I've only done it 3x and usually spread about 4-6 months apart.

I'd say that it still does have some magic left in it. But it's nothing like the "holy shit, I'm understanding the deepest revelations of the universe and myself" like in the beginning. Also I started to notice that it just affects thoughts negativly when you do it frequently.

Like it makes you so fucking spacey and ungrounded. If you take it regularly you want to believe everything is perfect, the universe is loving and great and wants to be your step-parent, that its all love, etc. it also takes a few days to recover physically, and for a few weeks or months afterwards it will affect your thoughts which consequently usually affects actions.

If I dose these days it's usually just 1 tab. And I also will usually just lay down and "vibe out". The first few years when I did LSD I would go to music shows, listen to music at home, watch porn (completely fucking amazing while on lsd), or basically do something that was a super mood booster and got me feeling even higher. I would do things that engaged me basically.

Now when I dose I don't engage with things outside of me, Instead I engage with things inside of me. How I'm feeling. What I'm thinking about. Maybe engage with the silence between thoughts. Maybe go on a journey to another universe and meet an alien species (but do I ever leave my thoughts is the real question).

And I find that the "high" isnt as intense, but it's also much more pleasant and enjoyable.

So I'd say that the magic is still there for me on LSD, if I use it in a new way as compared to how I was using it before. If I listen to music and engage with other activities like that, then yeah LSD doesn't affect me as strongly as it once did. But if I go inside, which is a relatively new practice for me on LSD, then yeah it's still got supreme magic.
 
Switching up the psychadelics (lately LSD or 4-aco-dpt) i usually dose every weekend or every other weekend. This has been for the last 8 years or so. sometimes taking a few weeks off and sometimes dosing 6 times in two weeks (hey i just went to burning man give me a break ;)

it should be noted a lot of these are 1/4 hits of (strong) acid or museum level doses.

I've never had HPPD or PTSD or depression or social anxiety or anything. I even took L a few times in organic chemistry classes whilst in college or even calculus class one time.

Your mileage will definitely vary LOL. My ex once said that i'm the only person she ever met who can take this much psychedelics and/or drugs and not get 'burnt'.
 
As needed :)

A sheet or two in 3 months will scratch my itch for a while. HPPD only comes with nbomes and shrooms ime, youll notice depersonalization first, and if you?re under under the low pressure acid reality you won?t really get it as strongly at all. Many cases of HPPD come from people shattering their perception on negative trips, if you have a moderate grasp on reality you?ll come down fully.
 
I’m digging this up because I am very curious about others experiences with frequency of psychedelics. I have an excellent stash of drugs and these days I want so bad to trip all the time but I try to be a good kid and limit my trips to one psychedelic and one disso a month. I would like to do more, like twice of each a month for example, because it’s so damn fun. But I have a fear that I will fuck up my neurochemistry. But damn sometimes I feel like I’m looking at the calendar waiting to dose again.

I have tripped probably 75-100 times over the last 20 years on lsd, mushrooms, and various tryptamines, 30 times on mdma, and maybe 10 times on dissos. The craziest was three days straight of psychedelics, but usually it’s 1-4 months between trips. Always reasonable doses, like the most high I’ve been is 3.5 grams of shrooms (which is my go to dose for some reason). I no longer drink alcohol or caffeine and rarely smoke weed (which is the source of almost all my bad drug experiences).

For me, frequency depends on a number of factors. I kind of read into the experiences themselves, generally the psychedelics (or me?) will tell me when it’s time for a break.

I generally keep it to about once a month average but sometimes I’ll take longer 4-6mo breaks, and other times I’ll trip 4-5 times in a month. I’ve got no hard and fast rule.

Heh well if we talking strictly psychedelics, I dose probably 1x every 2 months.

If we include enactogens (MDMA etc) and dissasociatives (ketamine etc), its probably more like 1x a month.

I dont include DMT because sometimes I go phases where I will take take mini trips every day for weeks and then I dont touch it for a few months. If we included DMT it would be like 10x or more a month
