Acid i could handle rn, but mushrooms are out. You can just kinda have fun on acid, but eventually mushrooms make you face things
Acid is streets ahead of mushrooms in terms of intensity, for me. But I know it's different for everyone.
Acid lasts a lot longer than mushrooms, but for me mushrooms always included a brief bout of severe paranoia. I loved both of them, but now I would fight to avoid having to take either one. I'm just too old -- psychedelics are for young, invincible people IMHO.
I don't know if I'm old but I've noticed younger people calling me sir lately and all I can say is it gets better with age. ...zero anxiety these days ✌️
I guess it depends on the dose. I had good and bad moments on acid, and now I'm too afraid to take acid and have a bad trip, cause I know I should probably get over some stuff before. Mushrooms I have only taken small doses and I just got more enthusiastic in the way I was talking to friends, laughing more probably...
I know this sounds crazy but with LSD taking too little is the problem. Its not for everybody but I like taking enough that my legs get wobbly and I have to lay down with headphones on and just watch the show and have never had issues. I completely understand why someone would feel apprehensive about such an endeavor.
DMT has this reputation of taking a user too far too fast and leaving a person unable to process what happened but in my opinion ( for someone that truly wants to step out of this world ) it's the best psychedelic because the ego can't react fast enough to try and stop its temporary demise which is where all the trouble people have with psychedelics come from in my experience ( and it also leaves you in an instant state of slumber so there is no running in the streets naked ).
You take a hit and might have a few seconds before everything in you mind with attachments to the ego dissolves. You may remember your last thought of tring to remember what a tree is or your favorite aunts name before it all goes away and you get confronted by "something". I don't know what it is even though I have seen it hundreds of times it's really not anything that can be understood when you come back but seeing "it" every once in a while somehow makes me happy to be alive
✌️
Opposite for me. I can handle shrooms but not acid
I can't handle either anymore, really, but acid over mushrooms is wild to me. The amount of time, the comedown...
Maybe you've never had access to high quality mushrooms then? Being from a place where they can be bought in a store, quasi-legally, I won't eat more than a couple grams of the stronger varieties, because 2 grams will already make me see sound and hear colour. And I ain't no light weight.
But a couple tabs of acid, sure. I'll be vibing hard, definitely acting pretty dumb. But reality will not melt before my very eyes. Might see some cool colours and what not, but it'll always remain controllable. The problem is always the length.
Now DMT is a whole 'nuther thing. 5-10 mins of, holy shit I'm not even on earth anymore, and then BAM, back to reality. It's quite nice.
I could just as easily ask if you've never had access to high quality acid.
Sorry, didn't mean to sound condescending.
But yes I definitely have. That's the cool thing about things, everyone can have their preferences and that's alright.
2 grams will already make me see sound and hear colour
Is that what it does? I already have synesthesia why would I make it worse
There's more variety in types of shrooms than any other substance imo. There are many kinds that are pretty chill, but Blue Penis Envy by example is not to be trifled with.
It's the opposite for me.
Nah, I just don't know where to get drugs.
Search for the dark net bible.
is this the illicit internet version of google is your friend? you can just say you don't know either.
Darkweb markets get raided or rug-pull regularly.
People don't recommend specific markets, because they probably won't exist for long.
Instead, you'll get recommended to places like dread, so you can find the current 'least untrusted' markets yourself.
Oh you're afraid of yourself? What's next? Afraid of peanuts?
Depression is hoping a heroic dose of acid causes ego death and maybe life will be slightly less painful afterwards.
Haha yep. 🥲
do it anyway
Maturing is realizing you're not mentally stable enough to do acid.
Wisdom is doing it anyway.
🗿
I'm just too tired and busy. I had 4 tabs of acid in my psychedelic cupboard. Someone gave me more, now I have 7. One of these years I'll get away and trip my balls off in a forest, but it's not this year.
Why would you wanna trip balls in the forest? That's how you become an acid trip for a bear.
You must not have heard of the Electric Forest Festival.
There are some bears, but not that kind.
Not that i stopped, and would absolutely have either if the opportunity ever presented its self again (probably not). I found that the older you get in general just makes it harder since, at least in my experience, you have way more to worry about that eats at you. Closer to death, more health issues, money could be worse than before, wife/husband and possibly kids to worry about. Stupid things i did in my early 20's would never fly today just because I think things through way more and realize how bad those things were back then lol. Thankfully the few times i was able to do these things were all great experiences despite that, and its most likely to being with good friends who also joined.
Also, lsd lasts a LONG time, and it's easier to find a whole day to fuck off into space when you're younger. I've got a kid, I can't get 12 minutes of free time at once, let alone 12 hours.
Exactly. Going on tour and dosing for a bunch of days and having a long enough time off to come down and just chill is not possible anymore.
Yeah that's what's stopped me...I used to trip the light fantastic, but anymore, the thought of ego death isn't liberating, and as I've gotten older my background anxiety (set) seems to only go in one direction. Kids, House, work, etc.. it's a little late for me to tune out and drop out
damn, its been a few years but i hadn't considered all that extra baggage weighing down a trip now that i am older.
but i think i am due for it. i think it is healthy to have a nice safe trip in a good environment.
i always feel so refreshed for like.. 3 months-ish? after a trip
Are psychedelics really this popular, or is lemmy just full of people that like them? I had assumed they were a rather niche thing, but the sentiment towards them here today (and not just this post either) seems notably positive, though the descriptions people give sound existentially horrifying to me. Then again, I get anxious enough towards drugs that Ive not even tried alcohol let alone anything less common, so maybe I'm just the weirdo here.
Other that fooling around on lemmy my hobby is going to raves so I use MDMA/MDA/LSD once or twice per month. All my friends I meet them on parties, so using is just part of the social circle, but we do other things sober too, like picnics or board game nights. I work in corporate so is something I don't share with my coworkers, but my wife used to work in a restaurant and was pretty normal to go to party after her shift with her coworkers and get blasted
I used to be completely sober all the way through my 30s. I tried things later and they really helped me see life from different angles. I didn't try shrooms until I felt I was ready. They are easily one of the best things that ever happened to me. I would not suggest trying them unless you feel comfortable, are in a very familiar environment, and you have a trustworthy, caring friend to keep you company.
Most of my friends have done acid.
I think that the nature of Lemmy attracts people who are drawn to seek out new experiences and alternative lifestyles, so it’s less that psychs are widely popular and more this community has a higher percentage of users. That said, I don’t know anybody that does acid on the regular anymore, it was pretty uncommon when I was a teen, and the people who I know who like to trip (usually hippies, ravers, and punks) are typically doing shrooms. Might also be because I live in shroom country so they’re easy to find and cheap if you have to buy them. Gotta say, a few days in the middle of the backcountry with a dose it nice, I can’t imagine doing it and going to the bar on a weekend.
Honestly yeah that's an important act of maturity. I love acid, but I waited until I was ready for it. I haven't done it in years but it was hugely helpful for my self improvement during a difficult and transitional stage of life. Too early and it may not have gone so well
I started early , I watched people lose their minds permanently, I never stopped and found in old age it is a far more enjoyable experience. I appreciate it like a fine work of art that young me just didn't understand. I honestly couldn't imagine what my life would have been like if I couldn't step away from this world from time to time.
Drugs aren't for everybody, I don't recommend them but if you are going to take LSD make sure you have a blast of DMT to go with it. It's the bomb
You sure do talk a lot of sense blue sponge bob
I am far more mentally stable now than when I was follow the Grateful Dead and doing tons of acid. That was a fun time.
I mean, unless you also have some molly....
But yea otherwise i am done with acid.
Most likely.
I am stable enough but I don’t have the time :(
I'd love to do psychedelics again, but can't due to medication. Not gonna fuck with bad interactions ever again.
I’ve never done acid but I did shrooms twice and haven't had the balls to try again.
The first time was ok, but the second time, come-up anxiety was so intense I spent the entire trip throwing up, shitting my brains out, and having a panic attack. I can’t do that again, but I’m still full of anxiety, so.. nope.
Someday id like to try an extract, I’ve heard the mushroom itself is where the anxiety and gastric discomfort comes from, but yeah I’m just not really motivated in case thats wrong.
I'm to mentally stable to do acid.
we've run into a paradox where nobody should do acid
