I don't recall ever doing LSD

I've only done it like 9 times and did shrooms a few times. I definitely liked LSD better than shrooms...more predictable but then again I did the shrooms at the very end. the thing is I didf it all in about a three month period. It was pretty much every weekend for like a month and a half and i know one week i did it twice, maybe three times.
The first time I did it wasd at my friends apartment and he had this black cat that must've been about twelve at the time. Yes Close to the Edge was cran king on the stereo and it was about 1 hour after taking it....I was starting to really feel it and then his girl friend shows up. She was really tall like 6 ft 1 and she just walks in the apartment and I'm melted in to the sofa with the cat on my lap which I'm petting and my buddy is on his recliner chair. the room is cloudy with ciggerette smoke (back when i smoked and he did too and i know i went through like two packs that day) she walks in all concerned looking, goes to the stereo and turns around facepalms and walks out without saying anything. m,y buddy goes out after her and I'm peaking...alone the first time....i feel the overwhelming sense of abandonment and i feel so alone :embarrassed:. I think REM comes on next as I had made a mixtape.....
Then there was the time took shrooms the first time while out camping....couldn't even function enough to get a fire going so we ate cold Ranch style brand Jalepeno beans....good times but i would never touch the stuff anymore. I'm glad i experienced it but i think it's one of those things where less is more. everyone should probably do it like once or twice but i'm not sure it's the best recreational drug out there :embarrassed:

Microdose bro.

It like having 1 strong beer vs slamming a pint of vodka.
 
I did it once in the 70s during a severe blizzard. Big fun. For a while, I thought I was a god. Because of the blizzard, we stayed inside. Probably kept us from getting hurt. Did mushrooms a few times, definitely more fun.

Highly recommended
 
I agree, I’m not sure I see any significant recreational benefit at my age, but I do think there is a revolution in psychology and psychiatry coming with psychedelics that is going to blow the fields wide open

Parody or not I'm going to share. I did a LOT of acid at Uni and thoroughly enjoyed it, until I had that one bad trip. Fucked me up for days, a proper psychotic episode. Never touched it again.

So I have very mixed feelings. I have no regrets as it is mind expanding and does alter you in a positive way. However I also recognise the danger, it can fuck you up. I would never do it again but am glad I did.

Then a couple of years ago I had some shrooms in Amsterdam. I'd done shrooms before but these were far stronger than I expected and I kind of freaked out. It was less intense than acid but I wasn't expecting it so didn't enjoy it. Same with weed now. Even supposedly mild weed is super strength mega skunk these days and immediatly puts me in a tripping headspace. I don't like this so avoid it. I'd kill for a source of mild CBD heavy weed but there is no money in it as the kids all just want to get smashed.

There are several high CBD, low THC strains hitting the markets in the last few years. You can also buy a high CBD strain and mix your bowl with just a pinch of a stronger strain to "roll your own high." You might need to find a dispensary that has some better medical bud selection.

I love high THC, and typically don't smoke anything much lower than 20%... I currently have an Infernal Kush (hybrid) that's approximately 26% and a GG#4 (indica) that's 23%, but shake/popcorn or high quality trim of 12-14% is usually available at the shops I frequent.

Sadly we don't have legal weed here and the illegal market is driven by kids who think they're Snoop Dog

*edit* pics included...

Taken on a cheapass 35mm camera. These were two of the shroom camping trips. The last three pics were the Ranch beans trip and the rest were the first time i did shrooms. the guy in the Doo rag was my buddy (this was 1991 i have written) there's only 1 pic of me 9sort of) because it was my camera. You can barely see me in the tree but I had a folding military shove (trench shovel) and I was stabbing the tree. I remember the spider web was really profound which is why i took the picture...there was an actual spider in it walking around but the limitations of a crappy 35, well....

the two trees with the hollows is why we chose that spot for a campsite since it was kinda "hobbit like"
ymmv

We always had a rule about acid, have a safe place to use for 12 hours, where you’ll only be around other people on acid and no run ins with people who are not tripping. We used to venture out of the safe place, but always had it to retreat back to.

Parody thread is a swing and a miss.


I have had some ridiculously fun times in Amsterdam though :embarrassed:

The thing about parody threads, which no one seems to learn, is that the only response to a parody thread is “oh, that’s clever” or a little chuckle (rarely a LOL). And then they fizzle out because cleverness only goes so far.

On the other hand when people begin responding to the literal subject of the thread they actually grow and flourish. Become productive threads, which the thread OPer should tend to like a garden by liking posts and furthering the conversation. Don’t be a killer of your own unintended interesting thread.

Thasts unfortunate. We're on Year 2 of Medical in OH and its come a long way quickly, but is downright backward compared to CA, WA, CO, MI, much less Canada!

So you're saying I should get high tonight? :embarrassed:
 
There was a period of a year or two in college where I did a ton of acid. Shrooms too, but acid was more plentiful and easy to come by.

I value my experiences and I don't regret any of it, but I can't imagine doing it now, even in the right set and setting. I'm a grown-ass man with a head full of decades of accumulated neuroses and anxieties. I don't need to go poking around in there.

I would never say that. But if you did and posted your experience tomorrow or provided a live stream it could kick up the numbers on this thread.

Attractive women livestreaming smoking pot is very popular on Instagram. Cannabis culture companies often work with those "influencers" as models and reviewers and it for sure sells well with the young smoking crowd. I follow three of the larger glass shops and they usually share a lot of that stuff, but the actual glass artists channels are the shit. I've been following two particular glass artists (one in CO, one in CA) that have really gotten me interested in taking some lampworking classes once the glass studios partially reopen down the road.

IMO that's the best reason to do it. Sometimes we need that ego death moment to help realign us... that's why the microdosing movement and and the therapeutic research is heating up. I'm not advocating going full psychonaut and eating 5g+ or a big ol blotter, but if an opportunity comes along I'd say go for it! Listen to some records you haven't listened to in awhile, look out at some nature, watch some pre-curated visually stunning video, and you'll have an awesome time.
 
We’d make a day of it, or a night, and plan the next 24 hours around it. We’d wait until 2am or so, so we’d be peaking at sunrise. We’d go to the beach, or the river and take it all in. We’d make sure we had no plans or nowhere to be. Christmas was awesome, with all the lights and the overall vibe. 80s music made it all so much better. Good friends, good times.

Then comes the next afternoon when you look in the mirror and you look like you’ve aged 10 years. After 15-20 trips, I just didn’t want to anymore. Same with mushrooms. A good time, but I just couldn’t be doing that stuff forever.

The first time I saw A Clockwork Orange, I was tripping. That was an unforgettable experience.
