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

Bad advice. Many parole programs will fail you for a dilution result.

Glad you're making a go of it dude, I wouldn't recommend meds personally. Just let your body do its thing, I had night terrors coming off the weed (fucked up dreams and such) but I persevered and haven't smoked it since December. No regrets at all Keep it up dude happy for you

I was in a very similar situation a few weeks ago. I started going to the gym and made it a habit to read for half an hour or so before bedtime and now I never get insomnia.

I've just stopped vaping weed too. Moved into uni halls and didn't want to risk vaping until I knew what flatmates/security was like. Having similar problems with sleep and restlessness, but then I feel exceedingly tired in the afternoon/evenings because I'm not getting enough sleep. I'm having crazy vivid dreams too (which is obviously a normal thing when you take a break from weed). Also my appetite isn't crazy like it used to be which is helping my weight loss.

Poppy tea weekend? I think so.

trying to make a bowl for a weed pipe out of an avocado seed, anyone here ever try that?

i haven't tried it myself but i can't see why it wouldn't work, saw some other people have done the same on google. good luck on your homemade pipe crafting!

LSD makes me feel like a very happy and privileged monkey who gets to have luxuries such as having a refrigerator and a laundry machine. it boggles my mind how complex the shit around me is, it really does feel like I'm in some sort of sci fi. manipulating temperatures in a box? what?

I took approximately 150uq of LSD yesterday and wow what a ride. I got these 200uq tabs and since I'm poor at planning, I didn't have any liquids to mix the LSD with so I just used a scissor and cut off about 1/4th of it. I know it's common to get underdosed tabs but I honestly had no idea how underdosed a lot of these tabs could be. I've tripped so many times before and I'd never have expected 150uq to be as strong as it was. I had to battle some anxiety as I was coming up but I managed to deal with that, as well as some reoccurring waves of anxiety. a common theme for my stronger trips is how underwhelmed I get of the experience to begin with. all I can think is "that's it?", assuming that I'm at the peak but in reality I'm far from it. it kept ramping up in intensity over the course of 2 hours until I lost sight of how strong my trip was, only realizing it when I was coming down. there was a point where I was listening to Jon Hopkins (great artist by the way), don't remember the name of the track but it was extremely chill and had a real slow build up. I find that songs with a slow build up are the trippiest of them all. anyway, as I was listening to this song, there was this church chorus thing at the end, like this godly, holy symphony of women humming a tone. it was so euphoric and it felt like I begun ascending to the next stage of "humanity" as if I were becoming an angel or god. my entire field of vision went from relatively normal to geometric shapes and abstract patterns which freaked me out a little bit due to my bad experiences, but I decided to keep spacing out due to how euphoric I was to see where it'd lead me. I had been staring at my lava lamp which was now covered in abstract patterns like everything else in my field of vision and suddenly something snapped in my brain. I went from knowing that I was staring at my lava lamp with my room in my peripheral vision to literally not knowing what I was looking at anymore. I felt this wave of panic due to the extreme confusion after losing grip with reality for a second and snapped straight back to the real world. luckily it didn't evolve past that point but god damn that was extremely trippy. I continued to listen to music for a while but eventually I got kinda bored of just listening to music. I took my headphones off and lied down in bed which was surprisingly comfortable. it felt good to simply lie down and exist. as I was lying there, my SO came home which startled me and planted a bad seed. judging from that experience and previous ones, there is rarely something that straight up causes a bad trip on the spot but rather plants a bad seed that grows over time. that startling feeling of hearing her coming home was still in me, but I had forgotten why I felt that way which confused me. after about 15 minutes, I got really confused and the panic started to settle. the panic I experience on LSD always starts with a argument with myself. it goes something like this, "no? why? ehhh, maybe? ahh nah... eh huh no that can't be right haha..?" which makes no sense but makes me panic way too hard. I've described it before, but it's as if I'm trying to find a point between 1 and 0 when no decimals are allowed. so I confuse myself, going deeper and deeper into this until I straight up snap and feel like I'm dying since I'm trying to "exist" between 1 and 0. it also makes me feel like I'm part of some predetermined wave and this argument inside my head prevents me from going with this wave, the wave of life if you will. I'm not sure if this makes sense at all, it's difficult to explain. I figured that if I were to stop this bad trip from getting really bad, I had to stop trying anything. I had to stop finding something to do, put on some relaxing music and submit myself to whatever was going on. I was trying to make sense of something that didn't make sense and I think that's why I get so confused and start to panic. so I stopped arguing with myself, stared at a point at my wall and spaced out. initially the panic got worse and I was so close to popping a xanax but I didn't want to pussy out of it since it wasn't nearly as bad as my previous bad trips, yet. I think I sat like that for a little while and eventually the anxiety disappeared on its own. I don't remember if I did anything else before the anxiety settled or if I tried to distract myself, all I know is that it disappeared. I'm happy with this trip, especially after managing to tackle the anxiety and almost bad trip that popped up several times. I'm still a bit confused on how I'm supposed to deal with a panic attack on LSD but whatever I did this time ended up working out fine. my memory is a little fuzzy so I can't remember it that well. it seems like I did the right thing when I stopped trying to make sense of it and rather just went with the flow, but this also escalated the panic a few times to the point where I tried to distract myself instead. perhaps a combination of distraction and going with the flow is what's needed to deal with this sort of problem? because only going with the flow and spacing out causes me to go reaaal deep into the panic attack, but only distracting myself feels so forced and only makes the feeling of panic even more intrusive. having these trips seems to have "cured" my sober panic attacks as well which is great. I got some nasty panic attacks after my first LSD bad trip but after re-exploring LSD and having one good trip, then this more challenging trip where I actually managed to deal with the anxiety, has made me less afraid I suppose? it feels like I found that missing piece that I missed on the first bad trip

Ik this probably isn't exactly the right place for this but I appreciate this threads wisdom and need some advice. So... I'm currently studying computer science at university and working a casual job and it's making me miserable. The more I hear from people working in the industry, the more I feel like it will kill all my passion and enjoyment for computers. I also find the course work mostly tedious and frustrating and the work load is stressful as fuck. I go out twice a week to sesh with my friends and it's the only time when I don't feel trapped from this course and career choice. Also unmedicated ADHD makes it tremendously difficult to get a efficient days work in with uni. Anyway I want to stop feeling trapped and get my life started. I want to move out, experience working, gain money skills and travel. Casual and part time jobs are extremely scarce at the moment so I am seriously considering entering a trade. I get paid to be an apprentice which would enable me to move out and set up my life. My plan would be to study something on side part time and get into a desk job/management/start a business by my 30's. I have a solid work ethic and like to master the things I work on. My biggest concern would be, am I jumping the gun? Forgoing a better career for short term success? My family regard me as highly intelligent so it will shock them a bit if I move to a trade. Any advice or insight would be hugely appreciated.

while i am not in a trade myself i find myself often thinking that i should have gone that way. honestly, i think that the computer science boom is on its way out, and we need more tradesmen. it might take some adjusting to get used to the kind of people that work trades if you're coming from compsci but most of my family have gone that way and they're good people. if you do well, you might even be able to start your own business in it. what trades in particular are you looking at?

My dad raised me doing all sorts of manual labor (flooring, retaining walls, reticulation, landscaping) so I'm fairly well adjusted to it. I'm looking specifically at HVAC or carpentry but am open to other trades as well

if your dad raised you that way then it sounds like a great path to go down, you've already got experience and i imagine you didn't hate doing that manual labor when your dad had you doing it. you're probably not going to be rolling in the big bucks but honestly a comfortable life doing work you don't hate is better than an affluent one going to a job you despise every day. i think the whole idea that "trades and manual labor aren't jobs for highly intelligent people" is a bunch of baloney. yeah, it is how it is culturally framed, but i find it harmful because it closes off entire career markets to people who think the only track to success is to go to university and get a degree otherwise you're a loser failure who has to do the work of the idiot lower classes. obviously nobody says it that way but that's the "feel" i get, you feel? if you like fucking around with computers, you can totally keep that as a hobby. i'd say you would enjoy it far more if you did so.

Welcome to the club mate. Not entirely an awesome club to be in since I do find playing it safe often leads to an underwhelming trip.

LSD is all fun and games until you fall on your ass and have your first bad trip. trying to be reckless after such an event will definitely bite you in the ass. by the way, anyone else eyeing the Healthy Rips Fierce? I pre-ordered that bad boy and am so hype to get my hands on it. it will be a huge upgrade from my DaVinci Ascent

I'm probably the only one in this subforum who does this, but not the only one in the world. Anyone use drugs as aphrodesiacs for assplay? First off, prostate orgasms are the best. Second, I've had most success with acid and coke. Going to try adderall today, gonna boof it. So excited. I'm not sure if it's funny or sad that I don't really do drugs often anymore, only just for this purpose on the rare occasion.

boof cannabutter

This is a brilliant idea, and I have attempted. But I have not made it correctly and yeah. I wish I had those fancy THC suppositories that are sold in legalized states

decarb (heat) weed at 90°C for 30 minutes, then toss in a pot with butter and water for 2 hours and stir. that should work

Apparently not, as eating a tiny amount of fatty foods will increase the rate at which they burn due to ketosis. You'd really have to eat almost no carbs for this though. 17 days should be enough for most people, but it depends if you were smoking a shitload like I have in the past.

any idea if losing weight gives a similar benefit? I haven't been able to stick to my pure fast food diet so I ended up losing 2-3kgs instead. I eat at a calorie deficit everyday so I'd assume that I'd burn off some of the fat with all the dank. but I think it's fine really. I bought some urine test kits for myself that covers all the drugs I've taken lately and THC is negative on me. I did test positive for amphetamines and benzos, tho I did take those drugs only 3 days prior so that makes sense. hopefully both of these are water soluble? hopefully those strip kits to test urine are good enough too? hah, I'm nervous. I'm worried that they'll use a high tech machine to analyze my piss so I'm really hoping those strips are able to pick up just as much as those machines. I got one final question for this piss thing. I've googled the urine detection time for the drugs I've taken and on amphetamines for example it says 1 to 4 days. I believe I read something similar about benzos too though I'm not sure. is this 1 to 4 days thing the hard rule with no exceptions? or is it possible to test positive even after, for example, 6 days?

IIRC - losing weight can actually cause positive traces much later on than expected as fat containing THC is broken down and releases it in urine.

yeah, when you word it like that then it sounds absurd. just feeling a bit paranoid over this whole thing, wouldn't be fun to test positive on a drug test

Nah I get you, no-one wants to test positive. But I suspect you are worrying a little more than necessary.

Going to Miami tomorrow night for Kyau & Albert and Super8 & Tab, which are two trance artists. Trance is my favorite. I'm bringing my mom to her first show (yeah I never have taken her before, but I'm excited for her), and my two best friends are coming. Renting a nice hotel on the beach and the show is a 7 hour event. Going to roll, and do some coke. I went to this venue before for a 7 hour Aly & Fila show, but had to leave after a hour because my Venezuelan boyfriend didn't like the marijuana smoke. So of course we aren't dating anymore, haha. Well, for different reasons (he was a scumbag cheater).

Is that how it works? You smoke some weed and you suddenly think public masturbation should be legal?

some of my best posts were made while PUI on a heavy disso dose

still though. it's not like drugs change who you are, even if it's only temporarily? like the only example I can come up with where people start acting on stuff they would never have thought was okay is if they push their mind to the absolute limit and have a psychotic break.

Smoked up with my best mate over the weekend, after not smoking for two weeks. I definitely miss it for sure, but there are aspects of it I certainly don't miss. I'm not sure if it was all the caffeine I had, or the excitement for seeing my best mate but fucking hell the joint we had made me majorly anxious. I was definitely high, like I could feel the tolerance break but it also made me so antsy. I definitely don't miss feeling like that. If you lot are in the throes of a weed hole, I'd definitely recommend letting yourselves run out (cus I know I can't help but smoke it when I have it), then see how you feel after 2/3 weeks. I'm gonna try and keep it as an occasional thing, because I do love the feeling but it's definitely detrimental to me if I smoke up every day. Ofc this is my personal experience and YMMVWVMYW
