Codeine makes my stomach turn into a WWI battlefield fuck that shit. Almost out of the good cheese too and I need to save the money for estradiol fuck my lousy life sometimes.

[QUOTE=ZenX2;52119181]I've thought about it and in researching whether anybody had done it, I came upon a counterpoint that the pain reduction from LSD could lead to increased injuries i.e. not being able to tell if you're pushing yourself too hard So a smaller dose would be safer if you do want to try it[/QUOTE] A full recreational dose is going to fuck up your muscle coordination when exercising so that's a really bad idea indeed (remember you tense and twitch your muscles A LOT during a trip). On the other hand, I've had extremely good results with microdosing and working out. I notice it allows me to focus on my muscles during sets and reps and it just feels... Easier? User experience varies of course, but it that's my anecdotal evidence for it. [editline]18th April 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=PredGD;52119462]yup. I feel a lot less sharp today compared to before drugs, though I'm not sure if that's because I'm actively thinking about it or if the drugs actually had an impact on my brain in some way. its also not that fun to know what drugs feel like imo since I always have some sort of craving for it despite my infrequent usage the past 4 months. its sort of hard to live a sober life when I'm always aware of the fact that I could alter my mind with drugs and live a more "fun" life for at least a short period. drugs are fun but idk, sometimes I wish I didn't know what it felt like so I wouldn't miss it when I'm sober aka normal[/QUOTE] Self control and will power is so important with recreational drug use. Live a diverse and active life where drugs are meant to be special occasions to savour the magic. This is why I space out my usage a lot, you don't want to make recreational substances a routine in your lifestyle. That's how things go bad for a lot of people.

I hoped that 4 months of barely any use would kill the "need" to get high but it's still there, though reduced.

I bought a little dab rig today so I'd have something portable for summer outings, and I'm completely stumped on how to use the nail on this thing It doesn't feel like quartz, its a female dome like normal rigs, but it looks like a bong's bowl (as in there's a tiny hole in the center) I heated it a bit with my torch but after a minute it was barely turning red right where I was hitting it What I am I doing wrong here? This is pretty much what I'm looking at [IMG]http://www.dhresource.com/0x0s/f2-albu-g5-M01-B9-7B-rBVaJFgxYYCAamGBAAJz6EnpVes337.jpg/domeless-glass-nail-honey-buckets-bubbler.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=matt000024;52116023][t]https://wiki.tripsit.me/images/3/3a/Combo_2.png[/t] Damn this is cool, but I swear the alcohol on the comedown made my trip way more intense.[/QUOTE] I don't trust this for a second when it says LSD and amphetamines are "caution" but LSD and MDMA are low risk and synergistic.

That sounds like a potential disaster[/QUOTE] I take Vyvanse pretty regularly and I took acid one night after I took Vyvanse a few hours earlier in the day. Was honestly fine, but probably because I'm so used to Vyvanse. Didn't feel all that much different from a regular acid trip, since acid's honestly a way more potent short-term stimulant than amphetamines. At least while you're peaking, not so much the comedown, then it's just a wakefulness agent. Snorting something while tripping balls, though, [I]fuck that[/I]. It's not even how they interact, it's that tripping with a drip would be the worst experience ever.

idk if anyone else experiences this, but i get a lot of vision enhancements when im baked, and they get even more exaggerated if i have a low tolerance or if i smoke large quantities. not only does my eyesight gets completely sharp (like actually sharp), but i get this interesting effect that can only be described as having a decreased framerate across my entire visual field, like if i swivel my head/or look around the environment it feels like my eyes are processing shit at like ~15 fps. that may sound bad, but the trade off is i can see almost clearly in my peripheral vision without having to look at the object out of my sight. colors become more saturated too, and my overall 'brightness' as i put it is significantly brighter. not bloomy, but just brighter. as if someone cranked their monitor's contrast levels to levels above normal. i always see these replications that have chromatic abberation, but thats not what it's like at all for me

I took acid while on 300mg Wellbutrin once, now that I HIGHLY recommend against, norepiniphrine drugs don't play well with most things bc they put you so on edge I've also had an extra strength energy drink while tripping on shrooms and smoking weed, and I felt surprisingly great and not anxious? But all combinations are inherently unpredictable/try at your own risk

[editline]19th April 2017[/editline] Yeah, adderall's mechanism of action is based on increased activity of dopamine and norepinephrine which is why you'd get a compounding effect if you take it with LSD, as opposed to MDMA and LSD that work on the same receptor/neurotransmitter.

[b]The double process is the primary difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine in a laboratory or scientific instance.[/b][/quote] [url]http://amphetamines.com/amphetamines-vs-methamphetamines/[/url] So similar naming scheme, but difference in structure completely changes mode of action and thus you can't really compare the two.

woaah, wtf lsd don't ever go outdoors to smoke weed i just wanted to get high so i walk to the woods and suddenly i'm out alone in the woods, battery is out and its actually really "woaah dude this is pretty cool, i am like a free man now lived without wires cuz my phone battery is dead" and its kind of nice. but it sounds like people were coming for me, that someone was throwing a party for me in the woods and i wasnt sure if they wanted me to come or go. maybe it was just a big test??. idk the sky is pretty and woah i only see kaleidoscopes now and i just exist. its as if mother nature wants me back, forcing me to strip down to mere nothing and oh god what is going on??? i heard cars coming arund everywhere, but i dont know if its for me or the world. its porlly just for the world but why are they coming into the woods no no theyre not?? oshit they actually are reversing into the woods i gotta hie. nah im just fooling with u u idiot. of course theyre not coming for you, theyre out there to get the garbage!! being alone in the woods is very nice when its in the middle of the night. so peaceful. i thought of everything and nothing at the same time and i still do at the very thought. blissfully like the lighs behind you am i seeing this womgm i thought those were house lighs why are they slwoly rveering towards me theyre going to catch me okay fuk this im out of here im not going to challenge this any more i want my sanity over buddha im not readyh, we must go back home where its safe pls lsd wtf? [editline]19th April 2017[/editline] fuck i actually ate the joint

Holy shit, it's alright man

During my trip on Friday, after the kief bowls, I was out in nature and all my senses felt like they slipped faaar out of place like my senses were a fractal, a plant getting blown around in the wind, vision repeating and jumbling, and then I had that class feeling like "oh fuck what have I done" and like it was going to continue getting more intense and I had to stop walking because I was too disoriented, and then I had this vivid flashback to another time tripping at the same intensity and then while at that intensity having something really bad happen and having to go to the hospital and tripping at the hospital, except that's never happened to me :v: There's something about the difference in the geometry of nature and indoors, where it's harder to notice certain effects because you have the constant reference of the walls around you, but outdoors in nature everything (plants, trees) is fractal, and so the grain of the effects is more in line with what it's affecting

Got drunk on a tyuyyuwssssday with my frands, jabencrowlitz!!

I feel like I really need help. It's 16 hours since I dropped and I'm still left shambling, I'm a complete disaster. The drugs has to stop, it leaves me so fucked up once they start wearing off. I ask myself every time if taking whatever I took was worth it and it's never yes and yet here I am, doing it over again as if its magically gonna change. I can't enjoy these drugs because I don't enjoy who I am as a person or the life I'm leading. Loneliness is consuming me and I don't know what to do with it. It feels so bad to cry and not to have someone their to comfort you, to tell you that everything is going to be alright. I just need someone to tell me it'll be alright, because right now it feels like life is only gonna go down and I don't want that. I want to be okay I really don't know what I'm trying to accomplish with this post. I'm probably not going to find my answers here of all places but I don't know, I'm just so desperate to be heard. I just want to scream help

You took a relatively large dose, something that's advised against if you're not [B]very[/B] experienced with psychedelics, especially if you're not in the right mindset which can shake up a lot of things. Send me a PM if you need someone to chat with or use as a soundboard.

The trip was okay other than getting freaked out while smoking weed outdoors and funnily enough just 5 hours ago on the tail end of the trip I cleaned the entire house with so much happiness and content with the world, only for it all to come crushing down real quick when I thought the LSD should have been completely out. Right now, I'm sort of glad I got to experience the intensity in the form of hopelessness and loneliness. As of now it feels like it just highlights how important it is that I work towards exactly that one thing that bothered me most, being lonely and using drugs to counter loneliness. What an emotional rollercoaster tho [QUOTE=ZenX2;52124380]Even though I haven't talked to you one-on-one much, I remember talking to you on FP quite a while ago... you've been in my life for a while, and I care about you.
