[QUOTE=ZenX2;52009197]Exercise and meditation[/QUOTE] I've heard several reports of it being addictive though.

Geomancer is right, I'd stay away from that if I were you, those aren't the kind of decisions you want to make in life... [editline]25th March 2017[/editline] think of the risks

God I miss psychadelics. I really loved the short term highs though not a 6 hour trip. I loved the quick rapid pace of Dimethyltriptamine and Salvia divenorium

[QUOTE=matt000024;52006939]Don't go in expecting "fun" in a conventional sense.[/QUOTE] If i would have known this my first trip. shits crazy but if you know how to enjoy it its amazing

thundercat last night surprise 110 micrograms of acid too whole trip was a little underwhelming but hey it wasn't bad [editline]25th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Zillamatic;52007937]So I grossly miscalculated the timings for the roll, resulting in me very gradually coming up during the whole show, and only feeling it during the encore. This is probably due to the two antacid tablets I took (took them because I had a really nasty come up last time and wanted to slow it down). It did mean that I started feeling it as soon as Thundercat played my favourite song in the encore, which was fun. I love his music so I enjoyed it sober anyway. They played a great show- the whole band are just ridiculously skilled musicians, and they improvised over basically every song. We then spent the rest of the night barhopping and chatting shit, crashed back at the hostel and chilled to music until about 4:30 I think. Shit was cash.[/QUOTE] dude i went with my mate who was coming up on 220 mics during the show, another mate with his girl who were out on the bars drinking pre-show, and i took half a 220 tab a few hours earlier we all got fucked thoroughly by the jazz hole

[QUOTE=sourcegamer101;52006899]I havent tried any psychedelics yet but tripping sounds sooo fucking fun, and i know what to expect, plus i dont have any rough patches or slumps in my life right now[/QUOTE] Don't do psychs until you have to. You seem to already know what that means by the second part of your post. Your first experience will be so much more poignant. [editline]25th March 2017[/editline] I am seriously such a big proponent of psychadelics as a non-recreational thing. Tripping acid isn't just "something fun to do on a lazy Saturday", people who think that way make me cringe. It should be treated with a little more respect

Why I am always mega deep thinking when hungover ahh

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;52007372]speaking of acid, i'm going to take a shower then drop 2 100ug tabs[/QUOTE] How was your trip dude?

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;52011807]How was your trip dude?[/QUOTE] went through a whirlpool of emotions, some good, some bad. came to some self-realizations that i hope will help me in my sober life, as long as i take them to heart

[QUOTE=ljonny;52009884]God I miss psychadelics. I really loved the short term highs though not a 6 hour trip. I loved the quick rapid pace of Dimethyltriptamine and Salvia divenorium[/QUOTE] How do you even get salvia tbh? I live in NY and iirc it is legal here, but no one seems to know where to buy it.

Tripping acid isn't just "something fun to do on a lazy Saturday", people who think that way make me cringe. It should be treated with a little more respect[/QUOTE] This especially. It isn't pot. It's not a toy to have fun although it can be fun. It isn't something that you should just take to party for a night. My friends learned that the hard way. I have friends in college right now dipping into it treating it exactly like pot. And that is a big no no. The consequences are so much harsher. It is an experience not a gateway into getting higher. Educate yourself on dosages, for the love of god don't exceed 200mcg unless you have a trip sitter with xanax on hand especially for the first time. Once you have experience with it then you can dip higher if you want. But even then it gets to a point where it is sensory overload which is in no way enjoyable. Save that shit for home not when you're in a dorm room. I can't wrap my head around my college friends doing it right now. You get caught with that shit you lose your Financial Aid money, potentially get drug charges, etc. As well give LSD a bad name. I'm really fucking lucky I didnt get in trouble so far. I don't know if i still can or not. Dealing with police while tripping is absolute balls since you are the bad guy in that case regardless. And now a friend of mine who is the innocent bystander in this case is getting trespassing charges for my monster post a while back and he doesn't even remember it (Due to being knocked out at the place). It's no fun having to worry about others. But in this case i can't even worry about him. I have to worry about what could potentially be linked towards what we did ages before that. And i wouldn't wish that on anyone. It eats you up inside. The guilt I feel for letting this happen is absurd. And there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. Be responsible with acid. It is not a toy. It is not pot. The potential long term consequences are astounding if you think about it. Be careful you guys. Back to worrying about things for me now z.z

when you get high on god [sp]yes, this is an actual church[/sp] [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZkV8DRdvo0[/media]

All tehy do is sit there and stare at teh carpet, at kleasat the way I use LSD I learn something meaningful because it's an all powerful tool, and tools must be treated better than be used on lazy Saturday aftertoons. if you use it the RIGHT way it enriches ur spritual mind

I didn't say you can't or shouldn't do it, I said that I think LSD should be treated carefully. go ahead and tab yourself out til you hit ego death, if that's your thing. anyone's usage of anything should always be at their own discretion, so if you feel like you want to just hang out and drop then by all means, have at it

I also never implied you shouldn't treat it carefully even in satire [QUOTE=n7610;52012032]I have friends in college right now dipping into it treating it exactly like pot.[/QUOTE] This I cringe at the thought of

dudes not wrong tho, the played out "respect psychedelics as if they were deities" thing doesn't really apply to someone who actually has enough experience to know what they're doing, shit doesn't have to be some sorat (pretentious tbh) soul-searching mission i try to arrange my settings to be comfortable and i like to prepare my trips as much as the next guy but i'm not having someone tell me i've fucked up because of the few instances where i've casually taken something like 2cb or shrooms, if you're that afraid of ruining your mental state via a standard dose of a psychedelic then you're probably already the type of person who shouldn't be taking those risks in the first place it's a cliche for a good reason because it's a preventative measure and usually aims to keep people safe and educated and all that feelgood shit but people can really exaggerate the effects sometimes, especially the types that think something like dmt is literal contact with ethereal beings, no doubt psychedelics have triggered episodes in people predisposed to those sorta things and it's shaken up otherwise-stable people but this "you can't trip unless it's for a therapeutic purpose or you will destroy your mind" stuff just feels like remnants of the classic "people take acid and think they can fly and then they die" attitude hell i usually make the same point (that psychs aren't really the type of drugs to just casually take just because they're there and you're bored and it's the weekend) to my friends whenever they suggest doing something like that but i'm not going to pretend it's a universal law or overstate the potential risks for the sake of holding up this odd intimidation of a drug then again i might be a bit biased because i've been on some heavy acid during some really terrible situations that most people would describe as beyond just a bad trip yet i've always held it together and, not only has it not really impacted me long-term, i didn't even break down or freak out like a lot of people would expect, shit i wouldn't say i've ever had a 'bad trip' despite the countless times i've been in really negative or unsettling environments while on psychs [editline]26th March 2017[/editline] shit i once ran out of weed but i had dmt so what the fuck did i do? loaded my goddam bong up fuck with me [editline]26th March 2017[/editline] or am i misunderstanding the discussion here i thought the general topic was "don't take something like acid on a whim because it might fuck your mind up a bit" or are you just talking about making the most of the experience through preparing settings and stuff

[QUOTE=TCB;52013368] if you're that afraid of ruining your mental state via a standard dose of a psychedelic then you're probably already the type of person who shouldn't be taking those risks in the first place[/QUOTE] TCB for president. [QUOTE=TCB;52013368]i thought the general topic was "don't take something like acid on a whim because it might fuck your mind up a bit" or are you just talking about making the most of the experience through preparing settings and stuff[/QUOTE] I got the vibe like it's more 'Be careful when/where you use it' as FFStudios' (well said) response clarified, I just took a shameless shot at the tone of his original post. NGW screeched in response.

I'm just trying to say be freaking careful :s: If you have experience by all means dose whenever. Its just the sudden influx of first timers as well as my experience having to deal with a shitty situation that a friend of mine got us into really has got me worried about folks.

[QUOTE=TCB;52013368] i thought the general topic was "don't take something like acid on a whim because it might fuck your mind up a bit" or are you just talking about making the most of the experience through preparing settings and stuff[/QUOTE] nah I was referring to the dude who was saying he has never tried acid before. if you know what you're doing on acid, then you can totally do whatever you want. but just like I wouldn't tell someone to eat a whole dispensary edible for their first time with marijuana, I wouldn't tell someone to just drop acid casually for their first time. that's all I was saying I definitely didn't mean to give the impression that acid is the great holy god above like some people think it is at all. I think maybe we just lost sight of the context of first time tripping

[QUOTE=FFStudios;52013391]I definitely didn't mean to give the impression that acid is the great holy god above like some people think it is at all[/QUOTE] blame me for that one :v I had to a lot of the times I've seen beginner advice asked for or given, SOMEONE has to throw in the diety card, overhype it like it's dangerous as shit and should be feared, or other fearmongering shit like 'don't do it' or 'don't do it until you need to' (like what does that even mean, it's a recreational drug ffs if you're posting here you're clearly not having trouble coming to terms with the fact you're shoving chemicals up your CNS)

yeeee i getcha my dude, i think it just boils down to the individual. as a rule of thumb people should totally be made aware of what exactly they're dealing with on their first time and that applies to every drug, it's just that psychs in particular are a lot more "head-y" so people get overwhelmed and freak out which helps fuel the "acid is crazy man that shit'll drive you insane" narrative, hell i know a middle aged lass who's a fiend for damn near anything in powder form yet she always refuses to mess with psychs because of this one experience decades ago when her brother ended up in hospital because he got scared on lsd and called the police on himself, she told me the story and he literally just overreacted and panicked but because of the overall context it's led her to just write acid/etc off as nightmare shit that leads to you being hospitalized first time i took a psych i was pretty young, i took shrooms and i watched a horror movie, insidious. i was fine. the next time i took something it was 2cb at a small local festival loaded with people i've known my entire life, i wasn't told the fact that i was given a double dose and i was the only one in my crew tripping, i ended up running into my ex (who i was still in the midst of breaking up with at the time so emotions were high and all that) and it shook me up for the night but it didn't mentally scar me, it just sorta discouraged me from taking drugs when i know i'm going to end up in public because it's not worth the shock of running into someone you don't want to see you in that sorta state in general people should really have an idea of what they're getting into before getting involved with any of this sorta stuff but of course that isn't going to be the case for a lot of people, it really is down to the individual to do the research otherwise they won't know what to expect and, when they see eerie morphing faced within furniture rather than the bright pink elephants the stereotypes told them about, they freak out and end up skewing their perspective on psychedelics rambling anecdotes but i'm not getting judged by a single one of you wonderful people because this place isn't reserved for coherent sober thoughts if ya know what i mean
