Psychedelics

[jeff7b9]

Hoping for a mature discussion here.

Saw a post referring to @Mr.Maelstrom as "sherdog's resident psychedelic expert" which gave me the idea that perhaps an interesting discussion could be manifested.



Right off the bat I would like to request that we keep the discussion specific to psychedelic drugs only, and I say that with the intent of avoiding the polarizing and troublesome aspects of the more addictive and habit forming drugs that I would presume have negatively impacted more people and harmed lives... where, imo, when used intelligently and in the right circumstances and with the right mental state and surroundings, I feel psychedelics can yield much more positive and even uplifting and enlightening results


Q1l) Has anyone had experiences with any of the type of substances which one might book a retreat for or experience with a shaman or guide?

Ayahuasca
Peyote
Ibogaine
Etc.... feel free to add if you have a story or experience which fits


Q2) What are your personal favorites?

Mine is mesculine.

I have made all natural mescaline from San Pedro Cactus on a handful of occasions and it was WONDERFUL

Besides being very powerful, long lasting and spiritual in nature, I really appreciated that you maintain your faculties, stay clear headed, lucid and able to conduct yourself in public settings without acting a fool

I dehydrated a bit of Cactus at a music festival playing as a guest with a Grateful Dead Tribute band in California many moons ago and had a wonderful time, and enjoyed that unlike other party favors like psilocybin or amanita muscaria ...
I didn't have any issues with forgetting chord progressions or losing track of song arrangements.


Q3) weird and exotic.... off the beaten path stuff.
Let's get weird.

Anyone ever owned a Bufo Alvarius Toad?

Anyone besides me ever frequent Bouncing Bear Botanicals?

Anyone besides me ever MAKE any party favors or grow any?

(Please try to avoid felonies etc) ... mods if this is too much I am happy to edit and remove

No...?


Just me?

Be careful out there. I know a kid that OD'd from smoking too many mushrooms.

Ayahuasca, LSD, Mushrooms, 2CB.......

Ayahuasca changed my life, I saw the world and people differently after that........ especially my now ex wife...

 

[Adamant]

Never done it but I've watched a lot of videos of people talking about their experiences and how it's helped them overcome some SERIOUS shit and it actually sounds really great. (The process is hell but the effects of it are unbelievably positive)

 

[fendertach]

I did DMT once. I didn't have any sort of spiritual awakening, but I went to another dimension for a few minutes and saw some cool shit.

 

[Belaya Smert]

Not reading your drug diatribe there. However I will say advocating for people with severe depression and PTSD; specifically soldiers is a noble cause and could probably mitigate the suicide epidemic in the US Military we see.

DMT was the only one I’ve ever experienced profound changes because of it. The only thing that truly brought ego death, for however brief a time. Made me less anxious and mad afterwards. Tried LSD many times, and other little bits, but nothing was like DMT for me at all. In and out of the experience in like 15 minutes tops, and my brain is back to “normal”.

Open to trying others, but not if they involve a huge time investment. I can’t be out of it for 12 hours anymore like acid back in the day. It’s exhausting to just think about it.

How many pots have you smoken?

Did you travel somewhere to do ayahuasca?

Was there any ritual or preparation that you were involved with?

i believe i have done 2cb or something 2cb family.
Very very HARD trip, but lacked beautiful spiritual type euphoric vibe for me.
The CHEMISTRY of a heavy ass head trip was there but not the connection to nature and life and whatever that I have had from mushrooms, lsd, mescaline

How many pots have you smoken?

None today sir.

Why you would admit to any of this in a public message forum is mind boggling. "Expand" your mind and looking into the hundreds of ways this admission could be used against you.

Nothing hardcore, but I did shrooms a bunch when I was younger. Was a mixed bag. The good highs were amazing. The bad highs were pure hell.

 

[AgentSmecker]

Over the years I've done a fair old bit of shrooms, Lucy, mandy, ket, 2cb, dmt and changa and they've given me the most profound and beautiful moments of my life, I fully believe I experienced the divine and was given a glimpse of full enlightenment on a few of my latter trips. Conversely I've also had some of the darkest most terrifying experiences but they were worth it for the good ones.

That being said it's very rare for me to indulge in psychedelics anymore, maybe once or twice a year now. Did some mandy and 2cb about a month ago and it was pure perfection, super therapeutic, zero fear, that feeling of being in perfect sync with the universe and everything will be alright along with some insanely beautiful visuals.

If you ever have a chance to try salvia, I'd recommend against it. I tried it once and it was not fun at all.

 

[Listen Al Gaib]

I've not done any drugs till now but I wanted to try ayahuasca. I heard Peru is a good place.

You can do it in the states and get the exact same thing. I mean if you really just want the ambience too you would want to go, but the actual stuff is the same. Once had it all set up m Orlando for a retreat but they basically made you sleep in some communal building. You basically couldn’t leave and come back and I’m not down for sleeping among some doped up strangers.

None today sir.

Portugal, I had a long discussion as to my reasoning to undertake the journey with an English Doctor that also asked me about my general health.

I did 2 rituals over 2 days and was monitored throughout my journey and afterwards. The food that was provided was easy to digest, as the journey can be a bit upsetting on your digestive tract.

Last time I took 2cb was out partying with a girl that was taking it too she said every time we danced together she was cuming....... I had a great time too but not on that level.........

What!!! This is public??? Fuck ???

 

[IDGETKTFO]

I had a bad trip on LSD and ever since that one bad trip, everything gave me bad trips, even shrooms.

I love psychedelics, I wish I could do them more often. Unfortunately I rarely find a good trusted source for them (hate going on missions, I'd rather stay sober) and I have never come across DMT or DMT - like substances, which is pretty odd considering the barrage of shit I've tried in my years.

I recently micro dosed penis envy mushrooms via lemon-tek method, the experiences were nothing to brag about. I was high, but nothing out of the ordinary. If I can get more I will up the dose 2x to 3x to see if I can get some visuals or OBEs.

Other than that I've taken hundreds of hits of LSD over the years but I actually havent tripped dirty in... since 2009? or 2012? I honestly forgot when. I remember it was the "new" Simpsons ride at the time in Universal Studios, Orlando, Fl. which had just been converted from the old Back to the Future ride. We were crying from laughing so hard. Since then, my mind has been left clear, my third eye hasn't been squeegeed in ages.
