[QUOTE=WoodenSpoon;52207058]audiovisual sensory stimulation [video=youtube;PP2hWvVyyUM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP2hWvVyyUM[/video][/QUOTE] I watched this on one of my acid trips, it made me burst into tears from the sheer beauty of the human race. The music is great too. I've had a break from weed for a few weeks, I was not expecting how low my sex drive would be because of it. Wonder why it makes you so fucking horny. I'm going to do some 2C-B today, go for a bike ride, make some music and see CKY with some mates later. Should be a chill day. Will try and remember to report back if anything interesting happens.

Well parts of it repairs nerve ends from excessive masturbation and parts of it heightens response from stimulus in all members of the kingdom of animalia.

I don't know if anyone who gets horny on weed, me and my friends just get couch locked

i have no tobacco to put in my hash joints so i've settled with tea lmao [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] it's a bit of a pain in the ass to smoke because it burns slow as fuck, plus i've settled on rolling roachless because then you can actually get decent hits [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=SuperDuprKyle;52207450]What games you guys like playing on acid?

I never learned anything from these experiences. I guess what I'm asking is why do some people seem to have either a fun or "eye-opening" time on psychedelics, and other people just experience absolute hell? I know set and setting plays a role, but even with friends I just can't escape it

I have however experienced both a uncomfortable bodyload and headspace but I've always managed to reverse it with my thoughts. What kind of thoughts appear? I imagine that if you were to "solve" these thoughts by rationalizing them and telling yourself that it's just a drug and that you're in control, then you'd have a better time doing psychedelics. It could be that you don't enjoy the effects of LSD in general too which makes you have a bad time.

I've probably posted about this before but it's relevant and also I can't sleep because t-break and too much coffee. I used to be like that (re: the post I just made about the cascading internal panic), every time I took a psych it was like walking through a minefield where I had to hope that I wouldn't think about [i]that thing[/i], whatever it may be, that would trigger a cascade. The thing is that in normal non-tripping life, you can shove stuff like that down indefinitely and spend your life sitting at the peak of a dormant volcano waiting to erupt. For a long time death was one of these things for me, starting when I was a wee ~3-year old and thought "hmm, before i was born my awareness didn't exist, and after i die my awareness will cease to exist" (conceptually, not in those exact words), and this scared the shit outta me and I buried it. Then it would come up every few years and EXPLODE, being the only thing i could think about, pulling me into a state of existential dread, until I forgot and the cycle repeated. At some point, I became aware of this cycle. I noticed that I just had to wait to forget. The issue? Being aware of that made it impossible to forget. Suddenly, every single thing I never wanted to think about became linked in a massive network where thinking one of the forbidden thoughts brought up every single other forbidden thought. I was a mess, a ticking time bomb where I was only ever a moment away from complete internal chaos and pain. Then came the LSD. And thank fucking god. I tripped a few times, no issues. No eruptions. But then, my 6th time, I took two tabs from different batches, and had my most intense trip to date, walls melting and bubbling, everything flowing together, everyone's skin covered in intricate patterns and symbols. I closed my eyes and saw extremely vivid 3D CEVs of people and landscapes made of rapidly flowing rainbow stripes. And what crosses my mind? "Oh god I hope I don't erupt." And of course, I erupted. I had lorazepam on hand and took 2mg, and it did jack shit to quell the anxiety (this was usually enough to turn me into a drooling lump). Flipped my shit a lil, had to be taken to someone's room and coddled by my friends, at this point I was staring at a poster of the earth, and it was 100% fully animated. I had never felt so overwhelmed and terrified in my life. Eventually I started to come down, and something hit me. It was just thoughts. Nothing more. They couldn't hurt me. Not that this stopped it from happening immediately, but I had my foot in the door to a solution. I knew that meditation was supposed to help control thoughts, and so I decided to start researching Buddhism and mindfulness. Over the two years since (this happened May 2015), my view on the nature of conscious experience has totally changed. I no longer live so deep within a self-constructed narrative, experiencing the world through the lens of the mind. Meditation has given me the ability to quiet my mind and let my senses and thoughts just [i]be what they are[/i]. The best way I can explain this is that when I listen to music, I don't [i]do[/i] anything. The music is already in my brain, because I can hear it. There is no additional effort required to process it. I simply let my attention wander through the stimulation of my auditory cortex and [i]feel[/i] the music, just as you might feel what an object looks like by touching it with your eyes closed. And this can be done for anything that you experience, because if you can recognize that you're experiencing it, then all the sense data is [i]already present in your mind[/i]. It applies to thoughts as well, though it can take a while to get used to experiencing thoughts like a sense rather than something you're actively doing. But it's worth it a thousand times over. And then mushrooms also had a big impact on me, mostly how I relate to myself. I now live in a state of being a body flopping around in the physical realm, guided by a council of personality fragments that are often at odds with each other (we all have our self-contradictions), but I've (they have?) learned to be civil and try to put their own desires aside in favor of what benefits "me" as a whole. It used to be that I thought I should be one unified "me", except that was really personality fragments fighting over who got to be the dictator, and the constant rebellions and shifting of who was in power (I should do X! I shouldn't do X!) prevented me from actually accomplishing anything. But that's a whole 'nother can of bananas. The result of aaaaalll that is that for the most part, my volcano is empty. Realizing that pushing shit down only made it worse, I decided to provoke eruptions and deal with it until there was nothing left. In other words, I made peace with my demons, transformed problems into solutions. My anxieties about bodily harm and spiders crawling in my ears? I draw it, I write it into a horror story, and what once made my life hell, is now a source of creativity. And now when I trip, I can delve deep and watch clouds turn into the surface of the moon, and then thousands of people crawling over each other, and draw funky shit, and meditate surrounded by lizards. Was it difficult getting to this point? FUCKING YEAH. Was it worth it? FUCKING YEAH. That terror, wanting everything to stop, drove me to change my life for the better. Honestly, initiating this process is the #1 reason to take any psychedelic. If they were legal and you could go on this journey with a trained specialist/therapist to guide you and help you through it, the world would be a much better place. You aren't doomed to be a complete ball of negative anxious energy for the rest of your life! If you make it a high priority to make peace with your demons, you will not regret it.

[QUOTE=ZenX2;52209508]post[/QUOTE] I'm glad for you, reading this is inspirational. Its nice to see people conquer their own demons I think I stumbled upon my new favorite vendor, what a nice guy. I was going to buy some weed from him but after my payment was accepted, he realized he was out. He told me he had another strain, tho more expensive. After some talking he offered me a discount so I could afford that instead. I never thought I'd be getting gift codes for drugs of all things [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] Do you guys find that there's much difference between the strains? Whenever I smoke I usually always arrive at the same high as every other time I smoke. I haven't been very mindful about what strain I'm picking when I buy so maybe I'm just picking the same class of strain every time.

[QUOTE=PredGD;52205246]MDMA + ket? I was thinking of trying the combo soon. How much did you take of the two?[/QUOTE] Whoopsie, i took LSD and Ket, not MDMA and ket. However, i've got a show on i'll likely to take MDMA for and i'll take ket and some weed on the comedown. I'll let you know then. In other news, one of my friends got caught with 35 MDMA caps of some extremely high quality stuff. In short, he's got to come up with 40k or possible be in jail for up to ten years. He's fucked. It fucking sucks for him.

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;52207530]Alien: Isolation [sp]don't actually do this[/sp][/QUOTE] I played Prey on a tab and a half last night. I have beaten the game on Nightmare. I am on a new playthrough and I got stuck in the Psychotronics place and just kept walking through the same areas and didn't know what the fuck to do I literally wanted to shoot myself lol. Eventually hopped off an got on Gears, much easier of an experience lmfao. Which by the way wow Gears 4 looks beautiful on ultra graphics. [QUOTE=matt000024;52210322]omg that sounds like literal hell. probably would shit yourself.[/QUOTE] Sounds sick as shit IMO. [QUOTE=inebriaticxp;52208237]Killing floor 2 [Sp]really, do this[/sp][/QUOTE] I did actually, made a post in the KF2 thread about it. Super dope. I also played Shadow Warrior 2 last night too. Wow drugs are awesome.

[QUOTE=ZenX2;52209508]snip [/QUOTE] this is a good post i noticed recently that i do this volcano analogy usually in the wake of stressful or bad events and have looking for the main reasons i really do this, and i have been trying to take a more introspective look into myself, my worries, insecurities, my purpose, how i must seem like to others, etc. i dont have any means of entering the psychedelic realms, but cannabis is the closest i can come to having a drug that makes me think more and have a psychedelic like headspace. ive come to many important existential realizations, decisions, and life choices on cannabis that have done nothing but improve my life and make me a much more chill and laid back person as a result

YES, I finally got myself more marijuana. Exciting!

my friend is great gonna take some hash hits from a pipe and build his new pc for him

My kratom habit is getting out of control. I'm dosing multiple times a day, probably upwards of 15-20g. I don't even bother weighing it out anymore.

Why do opiate surrogates always end up being worse than what they are being used to replace? It's sort of ironic tbh.

What if black holes is just the universes way of storing energy, sort of like fat. They do evaporate and eventually explode violently, this means that at some point the in far, far, far future of the universe, where only black holes and dwarfs exist, the universe will suddenly be lit up by a huge cluster of exploding black holes. What if this actually relights the universe? What if all black holes eventually merge together to one super mega giga massive black hole and that hole then a virtual eternity later explodes into a new universe?

[QUOTE=ZenX2;52209508]post[/QUOTE] Holy shit. Thank you for that. I always kind of figured it was that way, or that some people like psychedelics because it helped them get over whatever was bothering them all along subconsciously. It seems like a great thing, I guess it's just not something I can handle alone. Someday I'm sure I will though.

I used to have a Google Calendar I kept up for two entire years chronicling my daily drug use and it was really helpful. right after I stopped things got bad
