The Addicts' Lounge V - What time is it? Time to get high! - General

Took LSD for the first time on Sunday. I'd tested it as pure like 2 months back, but only had a chance to take it now. went for 110ug. It was strange, really kind of a flop. It had a pleasant body load that lasted hours, and the come up was great, but then... nothing. No special visuals, just some very subtle waving and drifting, and I was still pretty sober mentally. Sitter I was with (Who's experienced with acid) said I didn't look like I'd taken anything at all. I'm just confused really. Of course I couldn't have taken more for my first ever without knowing what it did, so I don't regret it at all. What can cause this reaction? I stored the tabs as well as I could, but I did trip on Hawaiian baby woodrose about 2 weeks ago, 14 seeds. Wondering if I still had some resistance from that, but I kind of doubt it. coincidentally I don't see anything on HBWR either, even with that fairly strong dose. Are there any psychiatric problems that reduce the effects of lysergamides? I have a couple. And sure comparing my experience to other people's is a poor idea, but I was hoping for something. I'm not on any medication, haven't had an SSRI in over a year, and I didn't take anything else on the day. I did potentiate the effects with a fair bit of nitrous near the end of the trip which was actually really nice. The auditory distortions were remarkable. Pretty sure I saw super faint fractal like patterns after a big hit which was the closest I've come, so it's not hopeless. And yesterday was 120mg of MDMA. It was wonderful, even though it took 2 full hours to come on this time for some reason.

You probably had a lower amount of LSD than you think, then.

Yeah you definitely had a lower amount than what you thought you were taking. I think my bad trip last week was caused by the weed i smoked while coming up. I had some weed the next morning and had a similar reaction (basically a panic attack). So im going to avoid weed for now. Even though the trip was terrifying it hasnt turned me off of acid for good. Started watching some king of the hill before going to sleep and it was awesome. My brother and some friends made it through fantastic planet on 300ug. I dont know how they managed it cos we were watching the insanity pepper episode of the simpsons and the trip out scene was too much for me i had to stop watching. Cartoons look really great on acid.

if I'm gonna talk from my own experience then I assume some people aren't as prone to visuals as others. I've had some mindblowing visuals myself but they only appear if I take high doses of whatever I'm taking. 200-300uq is where I start hitting some visuals that aren't waving and drifting, and at 450-500uq it's all I can see. personally, I wouldn't say LSD is all that visual compared to other drugs unless it's a high dose. it's mostly a mental trip. if you want visuals, then 2C-B is a very visual drug. it doesn't take much until fractals and neon colors is all you can see while still remaining in a manageable mindset. like the others said too, you probably had a lower dose than expected. I've read some statistics on it before specifically from the Netherlands, and there it was said that the average LSD blotter only had 60uq (seized LSD that was tested) despite being advertised as much higher. it matches up with my own experience here in Norway too where I can definitely notice when I'm not getting the dose I paid for. I've taken up to 500uq from a batch before that felt more like a 200uq trip from another batch and that first batch was from a reputable vendor. LSD is very commonly underdosed and if you were to try 100uq of 1P-LSD from a clearnet RC vendor, that'd make it very obvious from what I've heard. 100uq hits surprisingly hard if it actually is 100uq.

Damn. Alright, thanks very much for the help guys, I'll try and source some more accurate tabs for when I start pushing it up. Funnily enough 2-CB was on my radar for next time, sounds very interesting!

I found the opposite, I would take 150ug tabs and have pretty strong visuals everytime (rotating patterns on every surface, trails, etc). In higher doses acid's visuals were insane, I find acid intense both visually and mentally Although yeah I had a friend take 120ug recently and it didn't have that much of an effect either, he never really tripped. Probably varies a lot person to person

yeah I get those too, drifting, rotations, trails and so on. I wasn't very clear but what I meant by visuals in that post is stuff like fractals, geometry and generally stuff that isn't there instead of only seeing distortions

the amphetamine comedown really isn't so bad. it seems to be a mostly mental thing from my experience as I can definitely feel a harsh comedown if I think about coming down and get stuck in that thought. if I keep on trucking and don't think about it, I gradually sober up and feel fine. so what I've begun doing is tidy and clean my place as soon as I start noticing that I'm coming down and when I'm done, it's as if I never took a drug to begin with

I always wanted to die violently. This is the time of vengeance and no life is worth saving. And I will put in the grave as many as I can. It's time for me to kill. ..And it's time for me to die.

i remember when people were in such a huff about Hatred, now it is essentially forgotten

i saw a dude the other day wearing a hatred tshirt, i had to stop to think to remember what hatred was. also saw a guy with a shirt that had "run dmt" on it in the style of run dmc. bloke in his late 30s maybe with his tween daughter.

in other news, i have received an absolutely pleasant amount of O-PCE after being in order-limbo for over a month, it was even a half-gram overweight to make up for the unforseen delays. i have to wait to dig into it, though. it arrived almost literally the moment i was heading off to the parents' home for the weekend, and out of respect to them i don't want to take any drugs other than beer or weed under their roof now that i am moved out.

Just recently bought a brand new weed vape but now have just come to the realization that I need to quit/take a long break. Wish I figured that out a few weeks earlier... How do you guys find weed impacts your motivation? Been severely lacking in motivation despite all my best efforts which makes me think its the bud, also paranoia has been slowly growing for quite some time now I just feel like weed enables me to be content with sitting in my comfort zone which is the last thing I want

weed certainly doesn't help me get motivated

Weed and motivation are directly negatively correlated tbh

it gets me hella motivated to annihilate some cheese curls

Tacos are the best munchie food. They are crunchy they are greasy and they are cheesy.

tfw you accost the first motherfucker you see while drunk and he actually is the random weed dealer you were hoping you'd find

alternatively, only ever program while high so your own spaghetti code makes sense to you. i have fond memories of writing an inventory program while fucked on DCK that worked only to come back sober and try to figure out what the fuck i was doing with my code. i like trying to think how my high mind does while sober.

you can also learn new things this way

I get what you're talking about. I have had several periods of time where weed has not negatively impacted motivation; I think it may be the place I'm at in life atm, lot of change going on and such. I feel like I need to put it down for a while to focus on life, I find that weed distracts me if I use it daily for a long time. I don't completely lack self control either, I just feel I could be more efficient without daily usage.

it's interesting how psychedelics can show you how consciousness works. I was thinking back at one of my uncomfortable trips involving LSD + weed and the thing that made me so uncomfortable about that trip was that it felt like me, the driver in the brain, was one step behind the rest of the brain. it felt like something up there outside my control was pulling the strings to create my reality and to my surprise, that is actually what happens in the brain outside of our awareness. the world is colorless, soundless, tasteless and so on. it is all physics and our crafty brain found a way to "encode" this information to create our reality. we're never seeing the world for what it objectively is, all we see is our brains recreation of the world around us. for the part about feeling behind the brain, as if I'm actually in the past and not the now, is also something that happens. our senses have different processing speeds and therefore they're ready at different times in our brain. smell is the fastest of them all, and if I recall correctly, vision is the slowest of them all. yet we still don't perceive this lag that occurs in our brain. when I see something move that makes a sound, I will also hear the sound when said thing moves. the brain, again with its creative solutions, solves this by giving us an outdated perception of the reality around us. when all the senses are ready to be used by our own little internal simulation made by our brain, that's when we perceive stuff. our reality isn't constructed until the brain has all the pieces ready to go and therefore we always live in the past while the brain does the heavy lifting in the now. pretty fascinating. or maybe I'm making weird connections out of some wacky hallucinations. still though, it's interesting to experience something like I did and then learn something about the brain that is awfully similar to my own experience while high out of my mind on psychedelics. ---------------------- I haven't been able to shake off this feeling that I need to take LSD again to overcome the bad trip I had 6 months ago. I can still vividly remember the hallucinations, the fear, the intense pain and the fear of dying. I've been thinking about it a lot for half a year and I'm slowly but surely getting it all processed but it's not enough. it feels like I left that bad trip with something unresolved and I feel I need to go back, try again and see what crops up. I'm mostly back to baseline and I'm not having panic attacks anymore but there's still a part of me that is scared to touch psychedelic drugs. people say you should wait until you feel ready and that you'll know when that is but I'm not so sure about that. I don't know if it's possible to feel ready for something scary unless you have a good experience with it or at least try again.

Whilst that's true, just don't take too much - some dissociatives are respiratory depressants and can be contraindicated with benzos due to the cumulative effect. Also, just be aware that you'll be way more inebriated and idiotic with a combination. 2mg alprazolam max, IMO. It's fine with DMT, LSD, shrooms and many psychedelics, but something like methoxetamine could cause issues.

nothing here seems wrong to me, man. the brain is an absolutely fascinating organ and it is only made more fascinating that it is able to consider itself.

Got myself an Arizer Solo 2, technically my second vape after XMax Vital, which I was disappointed in. Just tried placing a screen in the stem, tried "pulling", nothing came out, so I thought the draw resistance was increased by the screen and pulled a lot harder - this resulted in a huge cloud - what the fuck? I didn't know you could do that - is it all potent vapor? Is it a waste? Should I have been vaping like this the whole time? I read everywhere that you should pull lightly, mostly because otherwise it cools the herb too much (I think?), but also because you don't want to end up with a bunch of weed shit in your mouth - so I never tried this.

Depends how good the airflow is through the vape. When the filter gets clogged in mine it takes quite a bit of pressure to get a draw from, until I clean out the filter. If you're pulling hard but it's working, I wouldn't worry about cooling the herb too much. Only if you're pulling really fast on a high setting and it's doing nothing. Most good vapes gets hot enough on the lowest setting (at least for a fresh load). But yeah, if you're getting fat clouds and getting high you're doing it right. You can sort of tell the quality of the weed (at least how many trichomes) you've got if you observe how big the cloud is on a normal setting.

Anyone tried CBD-oil with 0.2% THC? It's the only thing that's legal here, and some guys I know with my issues recommended me it.

Guess what??? North Dakota has a recreational marijuana and expungement of offenses bill on the ballot this year!
