Guest Iain C Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 That's a ridiculous statement by Iain to be fair but i tend to disagree with him about a lot of stuff, i've noticed lol (no offence Iain). I'd love to take psychadelics but i dont trust my brain enough. thanks for pointing that out, thankfully i could never be truly offended by anything posted here. profoundly annoyed, but not offended. "psychonaut" types just get right up my nose. the worst sort of self-righteous drug bores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest happycase Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 if you have a modicum of self-control, it's better not to try and be regular about it. take a trip. let it sink in. take another when you feel ready. there's a little voice inside of me (quite a nagging one, actually) that i listen to for these sort of decisions. i suppose the most important part is to not go on a bender and lose some of your connection with reality (e.g. tripping should be balanced out with reality). I listen to and respond to this voice frequently. When I filter out its tone, the message is often clarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneaksta303 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 If I had better access I would probably do it once a month. I've noticed long lasting effects for the positive when taken in winter months regarding SAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamos scorcho Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Do psychedelic drugs have any connection to mental illness? I really would like a good answer to this question. From all the experiences that I've had and things that I've seen and added up over the years - the answer is obviously yes. I don't think it's a matter of pre-existing conditions being the problem / "don't blame the drug." I believe that these drugs are innately unhealthy, especially when used multiple times - not that the benefits don't occasionally outweigh the risks.

Guest Rambo Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 what are your drugs of choice Rambo I dont do anything. I used to smoke pot and gave up when i stopped smoking about 5 years ago. As i said before, mushrooms/DMT/LSD is the kind of thing i'd like to do but i dont trust my brain enough to take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest happycase Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 i use mushrooms. in a spiritual peak, ego-death, identification with spirit, the awesomeness that isn't is revealed as what i always am before and after a movie, before and after a planet. without a meditation practice this becomes an indulgence. with a meditation practice, something more consistent, but a delusion. without self-control and moderation i'm left feeling scrambled in sober consciousness, which i enjoy, since it is an uncongested scrambling, but do not wish to go too far into. it's more important for me to use my time to balance the openings with my personal man-drama than to attain and persist in any state of being or non-being.

Guest hahathhat Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 tripping gives you lots of ideas, but it doesn't get them done. i feel it's really important to balance the doing with the dreaming, or you get really whacked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I trip out twice on shrooms over the course of my lifetime, maybe a year and a half apart between trips. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 i've tripped once... it was pretty crazy. done lots of pot in the past to make me a better and worse (health) person. i dunno. dreams are my way of tripping. i have incredibly lucid interesting dreams pretty much every night. also i quit drinking ( i'm not preaching) 2. 5 years ago? what that has made me learnt is i don't have to be drunk off my tits to have a good time but at the same time i'm less inclined to go to parties...

soundwave Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 the more frequently you do acid the less effective it becomes, the more you have to take and the heavier the experience gets and the deeper into Sid Barret land you go It also depends on the responsibilities you have in real life like a job or family as you need time for your brain to recover so if you can lazy about all day doing fuck all then your probably going to be ready for your next trip a lot sooner for me now its mainly decent festivals which only come round once or twice a year which you'll find is mainly a haven for like minded people of all ages and backgrounds to do shit like this in safety and in surroundings that can only enhance the experience it's almost like a religious gathering of sorts but one of life's greatest experiences that should be respected and cherished as long as you can find the balance that works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatorin Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2010/dec/21/carsten-holler-soma The urine is collected by handlers and stored in fridges by the walls, which also hold both dried and fresh fly agaric mushrooms. By day they're locked, but at night the fridges are opened, allowing people staying over to sample the contents. However, because only half the reindeer are fed the mushrooms, it's impossible to know which bottles, if any, contain hallucinogenic urine. Tanja Klein, 28, won a competition to spend the night in the museum with her boyfriend, Sachar Kriwoj, 30. "I wasn't going to go and drink six bottles of reindeer urine to find out," says Klein. "I'm not into drugs, I'm into art." Höller hasn't tried the urine, but he has tried the mushrooms. "They're very unpleasant," he says, speaking from his home in Stockholm. "And you throw up. The first four times I tried it, I became comatose. Then you wake up, throw up, and you don't know where you are, or how long you've been asleep. The sixth time, I started to chant like a Tibetan monk." that is so fucking cool, everything about that project is just unabashedly ridiculous. Although, I really did enjoy reading R. Gordon Wasson's "Soma: Divine Mushroom of Immortality." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
