Being Someone Else

[drew_hawk]

Have you ever felt that you were not like everyone else? In a very fundamental way. Like you do not even feel welcome here? Not that you don't understand how things work with people, but that you don't really want to be a part of it? As if you're here, observing, but nothing really makes sense? And you're happy to be alone.

And watching the curser pulse. As if time were a crutch.

I own a deaf dog, and sometimes I wish that he could hear. But other times I envy his ability to perceive and adjust to his surroundings.

We only perceive the senses we are endowed with. Who would say that we are able to perceive all of the sensory perceptions that surround us? This is not the case. We have evolved to perceive the things that are most advantageous to us as a species. Were there to be a new sensory experience for us to perceive, would we not just cower in it like a dog whom had been granted advantageous hearing?

As that what it feels like to be on drugs?

I’m genuinely asking.

I am on mushrooms right now.

And yes, it feels great.

I think that people are missing a fundamental thing that could benefit them, specifically people whom has struggled with depression such as myself. These things are available to us, yet we face forces from the pharmaceutical industry to get prescriptions and take things that ruin our natural brain chemist.

Thank you for that. I am still staring at it.

Those kinds of mind-bending realizations can completely change how people look at life. It's possible to eliminate degrees of fear/stress/anxiety with one dose.

I'm currently listening to Aphex Twin - Stone In Focus on an infinite loop, and nothing seems important anymore.

 

[drew_hawk]

I accept that I will always be alone, and that my sensory experience will always be an illusion of what truly exists in the universe. I am at peace with that understanding, and I also know that energy does not dissipate, it simply reabsolves itself into the ethereal, and that which was will be yet again.

 

[drew_hawk]

I hope you have enjoyed your time with me traveler. Let our time be not made in haste, but I hope to see you yet again in fair tidings. Until then, I leave you with a bit of foreboding:

Your time here is fading. Be kind to those around you.

Being alone isn't necessarily a bad thing.

This may be the most bizarre thread I've ever read, on ANY website, in my life.

WTF are you doing on here if you're legitimately tripping lol what is this thread in general?

 

[pink shizzle]

Shrooms are fun. Acid though, way better imo.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

This country is awash in illegal mushrooms, they must be stopped before it causes a pandemic

 

[JMNSHO]

I think every single time I took mushrooms I spent much/most of my time trying to figure out how not to be on mushrooms. YMMV.

Throw in a little Mexican water and you got

Disagree. While I’m not a fan of amphetamines drugs like mushrooms, lsd, Molly should be seen as a medicine

Amphetamines are medicine too. Adderall etc.

Back in the day, I did mushrooms 3 times. First was a blast, second considerably less fun, third freaked me the f*ck out. Never did it ever again…

In my opinion its all about not overdoing it. I also had a bad mushroom trip when I was younger, but in hindsight it was obviously because I took way too much (ate a whole eighth at once).

These days I go easy, ingesting small amounts at a time and giving them the proper amount of time to kick in before I decide if I want to do more or not. Take it easy and let the magic happen; this is the way.

An 1/8 and lower, I can hang around people and interact, and I’m almost always fine.

If I do upwards of 1/4, into the 5-7 gram range. I can’t be around people. That’s not happening. It’s a coin flip on how the experience will be. Always interesting, sometimes frightening, sometimes intensely emotional, sometimes intensely spiritual. I would say I’m an experienced tripper, and definitely don’t recommend new people to do that much.

Ive had bad trips on shrooms, but never freaked out. The only time I had a bad trip and freaked out was on 5-MEO-AMT twenty years ago.

I love the tryptamine head space. The hyper reality mindset it puts you in.

 

[pink shizzle]

There are shops out here in Long Beach that sell chocolates with shrooms and just shrooms in general.

I'm not sure how they can do that but I'm not mad about it.

 

[pink shizzle]

the 5-7 gram range.

I tried 6 grams, the "heroic dose" a couple weeks ago when I discovered shops sell them. That was a pretty wild ride. CSB.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good acid trip. However I feel that to do it right it has to be much more planned out, you have to make sure you're surrounding yourself with the right kind of people, and you have to make sure your whole day is cleared of any potential responsibilities or obligations. The shroomies can be done on a more spur of the moment basis. Also acid is very hard to find these days, at least here in Iowa.

considering that i’m not high should i be worried that this thread feels very at home and chill to me?

You're not wrong there. I find shrooms are also easy to control and dont seem to last nearly as long. Went to a concert once with a friend and we did shrooms. I would be trippin hard looking up at the screens on stage and then turn and feel 100% sober when talking to my friend and other people.

For the most part I only do hallucinogens alone; which I know isn't recommended. I just enjoy it much more and have never had a bad trip (knock on wood).
