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

Just to make sure I'm clear; Seriously, don't do Cocaine. Do not do it. And if you have done it, don't do it again. I know a few people who used it casually at parties years ago and they still occasionally mention in idle conversation how they miss it... about twice a week. Years later. I can only imagine how much it must suck dick to essentially want something forever, even if the desire is fairly minor.

If you don't trust yourself then I agree: don't do it. Personally, it's not a problem to take a bit over a night and then seal it back in a jar for another fort night or two. It's just a pleasant thing to do and I feel for any of you with a soured relationship.

is it really that bad? I admit that it felt incredibly fiendish while I was still skiing but the day after I don't feel interested in trying it again. I've tried it, it was cool, fiendish while I was on it, but not special enough to warrant regular use imo. I'd rather take amphetamines than do coke.

Was like that when I first started. It was like that every time for over a year, but now I can handle it. What changed for me is treating it like a psychedelic, all about set and setting. I only do it in a comfy environment with my BF, watching silly stuff like Spongebob and hanging out. Until I'm really good at handling it I'd never do it without him around.

yeah I think I need to change my mindset on weed and treat it like a psychedelic like you say. it is a mild psychedelic afterall. I still won't touch it in the closest future tho. I want to get these panic attacks under control first because they've seeped into my sober life. it's only weed that triggers it as well (drug wise at least) which is weird since I'm perfectly capable of enjoying an acid trip. weed is a whole other beast in that department. that's comforting to know at least. I've tried to calm myself down by telling myself that xanax is one of those take as needed drugs to handle severe panic attacks which I currently use it for. the guilt still eats me up after reading all those stories of people getting severely addicted and so on. I want to have as much knowledge on why xanax addictions start so I know where I should draw the line for myself. since I don't know much, I'm scared that my use might be how people get addicted to it but a part of me is saying that those who get addicted are either using it recreationally or they use it for minor anxiety, like before hanging out with people or if you're anxious in grocery stores and so on. which I don't, so far I've strictly used it for drug related panic attacks since those are a lot harder to calm down from.

Had my first legal joint in portland the other day. West coast fucking rocks

I've personally used clonazepam, another, longer acting but less heavy benzo. I've used it primarily for weed-induced panic attacks or as a trip killer, also for the occasional unprovoked sober panic attack. I've even used it before social gatherings to kill my pre-inlaw anxiety. These were all occasions where it felt like "as needed" use and I never experienced any feelings of addiction. You wanna talk about a frequency that'll get you addicted? It was prescribed for DAILY OR BI-DAILY USE. I think its addiction potential varies greatly between people, so of course it's good to be safe, but as long as you know yourself, understand the pitfalls, and regulate yourself, I wouldn't put myself through a severe panic attack for fear of getting myself hooked.

Probably depends on the person. I have absolutely no idea what their dosage or frequency was.

alright, thanks. it truly is a great drug when used for panic attacks so it's nice to know that it won't crash down into an addiction out of nowhere. the thought that scares me the most is that most people don't realize it before it's too late but I think that if you are able to regulate it and use it properly then it's most likely a non issue.

Are there any biochemical things I should watch out for if I smoke weed like here and there? I remember constantly panicking even sober back when I constantly smoked weed.

Ehhhh its not that fucking amazing imo its pretty good but if you want to not fuck up your life fucking stay away from oxys, that shit made me wish i could take opiates everyday for the rest of my life.

Was all good in the end. Just delayed the drinks by an hour so I was sure of how high I'd reach and acclimated to it.

I'm really glad that garry is working hard on continuing Facpunch's legacy with s&box. It's gonna be like a next-gen GMOD and hopefully it means these forums will be around for even longer. It's kind of exciting in a dorky sort of way that this forum has the potential to be a main fixture in my life for years to come. I'm really grateful for all the people I've met through here and I really value the conversations I get to have. It's almost like I grew up with this place, it's like my digital hometown.

Going to be rolling molly for the first time soon, but can't decide on a good place. Would really prefer to completely avoid everyone who will be in this house as they don't know I do anything at all, and it'd stress me out (Roommate in particular). Was thinking of finding a hotel on the day, but with that it's an unfamiliar setting and I've literally never gone to a hotel solo before. Not sure; stay in the familiar place without the stress of travelling, but with the risk of acting unpredictably around people who might also start some unpleasant shit randomly (It's hard to explain), or go somewhere I've never been for my first time and be completely myself for a good while but without all my junk to hand? Not a fucking clue. Fuck I was expecting to know the answer by the time I finished typing, oh well, guess I'll post it. Anyone who's used mdma have any thoughts?

Welp, did some talking today and donor truck is confirmed. Frame's junk, front brake is sticking a little, but it's mine. Just gotta arrange to tow it down here and we're away

Don't drink more than a beer or two. Any more than that and you risk memory loss.

man i got hit hard with depression. i don't even want to smoke weed right now.

Just curious, are CBD Gummies fully legal now in Indiana?

currently on a bit of MDMA, at the end of the come up and I'm starting to feel nice

weavesilk is p darn cool https://pred.me/pics/1522620455.png

Druggies are awesome because druggies are rebellious. This is awesome because it's honest, because humans are rebellious. Try to put them in a box or force them to do anything and they will figure out how to subvert your system and do whatever it is you say they can't do. They were told they can't before they had the opportunity to decide for themselves, so of course they want to try the forbidden fruit just to see if they like how it tastes or not. Some even manage to break free of the control of others nonviolently, and those are histories greatest heroes, despite often having failings (AS DO ALL HUMANS). People like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Galileo. People who were ahead of their time and didn't have their ideas accepted at first, but refused to try to fight (with violence or lots of aggressive words) to get their ideas accepted, and instead were willing to learn from others and try to teach them. If we try to silence people, they don't stop talking, they just learn to talk inside their own heads instead of out of their mouths. That's why force will never work, because if someone complies with force its always because of the force and not because the person genuinely learned why they shouldn't do the "wrong" action. Aggression can't change the world, because it will always be met with resistance. This is why peaceful druggies are dope as fuck. The ones that are still around me are peaceful, because I won't stand by and stay silent while people hurt others. That's why fuckbois tend to leave me alone of their own volition, as they have every right to.

Have a nice bit of MDMA + 2CB in me too now, come up hype

Nice, didn't knew 2C-x are still alive / on the scene.

Yeah there's some pretty nice 2C-B pills coming out of the NL, think they're Qdance based on stockist. Plus there's 2C-E, 2C-I and a couple 2C-T-X around from RC vendors I think.

Had my first acid trip (one incredible tab) two nights ago with two of my very good friends and an experienced sitter. It was better than I could have ever imagined. The tabs had rainbow Australian flags on them. Dropped it at the sitters beach house, which was right at the seaside, at around 11.30pm. His roommates decorated the backyard patio for us in firefly lights and blankets ready to snuggle with which was beautiful to come up on. Spent probably two hours wandering around their house losing ourselves in his roommates oil paintings until we decided to grab as many glowsticks and blankets as we could, grabbed some speakers and a playlist then headed out onto the beach. Fucking full moon, clear night sky, slight breeze, perfect temperature; absorbed the moon and stars energy as the three of us walked knee deep into the ocean. Thought my feet were talking to the sand. Bringing a playlist and speakers was probably the best decision we could have made, my body transcended under the moon to Riders On The Storm by The Doors and El Manana by Gorillaz specifically. Over the course of the night, I kept looking over at our sitter and he was always in this majestic position against the moon-light; his silhouette only visible infront of a streetlight glow, smoking a cigarette with one leg up on the sand dune overlooking us. Convinced myself he was our yogi. Finished up the morning rugged up in thick blankets on a couch they had sitting in the front yard, watching people drive, walk, jog, cycle by. I'm really surprised at how much more spiritual I felt with acid than when on shrooms, especially during the comedown, I felt like I had found a missing piece to a puzzle I never knew was missing.

oh man, mirrors on acid are always a shocker. Sounds like you had an awesome first trip though!

Psychedelics help you see the truth, but most people are scared of the truth. If you trip, and it scares you a little bit, it's cause it hit a little too close to home. Don't let it scare you. The point of tripping is to learn to let your fear go, and go back in for more knowledge. Psychedelics enable you to learn, but it isn't too long before they cause an information overload, which causes your short term memory to be overloaded with thoughts and thus somehow overriding your long term memory (ego death), causing some truly wild and indescribable shit to happen which you sadly, won't really remember except for perhaps subliminally or subconsciously. This is fun, but if you don't know that it can happen, it can be scary. It can happen, but it won't happen unless you take enough of a psychedelic to induce this. My theory on this is that when you trip, you lose your long term memories that form your identity, or the stuff that has stuck to you over time, which includes all imprecise labels, and biases, and emotional trauma of the past. You lose who you thought you were, and you simply proceed as a stream of thought, and as long as you don't get scared, you have honest thoughts, which are generally true thoughts, and you convince yourself of exactly what you truly would believe in, in a perfect world where you didn't "have" to think anything. Psychedelics un-hypnotize you from a world that teaches you there are certain things you "have" to think. Psychedelics make you feel free, if you don't get scared of them. That's because in the end, you are creating the hallucinations, and they are extremely beautiful, and that's your beauty reflecting back at you.

Well, yes and no. Permanent ego death? Absolutely. But experiencing it can be very positive. I personally don't think that drugs are the only (nor are they the best) way to play with diminishing/halting the ego, but it's not a bad thing to be fully aware of what it is by experiencing its absence.

Remember, no matter how meaningful, colorful, or terrifying your life is,, at the end of the day, it's just your brain. You're not witnessing reality as it truly is nor have you uncovered some hidden network that binds everything together. You're just experiencing consciousness and under the effects of the chemicals in your brain, like millions before you, and just like the millions after you. See how demeaning that tone is? I disagree that people are indistinguishable and unremarkable. Psychedelics or no psychedelics, I find them extremely distinguished and highly remarkable. I can tell that about everybody except myself. I'd need to ask someone else if I'm distinguished or remarkable before I'd really know, though. I generally never think I know for sure about something about what I look and sound like from another person's point of view until I've asked them
