Very encouraging to see such a taboo subject breached by someone with a reputation to protect.
Would have posted to the other thread but it's a bit of a mess at this point

really wanna try LSD or shrooms
tried that 25i-NBOMe shit but didnt take enough. and ive heard about too many ODs on 25i to ever try it again. wish LSD was more prevalent here.

25i is pretty shit tbh, you're not missing much.
acid & mushies have much better effects and are generally safer

Make sure you look at the forum before ordering so you can get the reviews.

psychedelics aren't all I've cracked up to be
in retrospect I would've been just as enlightened and probably happier
if I'd stuck to sitting on that cliff meditating
and helped other people more
so, wrt to that ^ last point,
here's my helping any would-be psychonauts:
don't bother
put more effort into your relationships,
being clear-minded & physically healthy
I'm sure you'd appreciate having taken that advice
at the moment of your demise.

On one of my most profound benders…
I was shown a whole world of complex mathematics…
The mathematics of the universe...
and then they erased it all and said…
"The reason you don't know this…Is because you're not supposed to."
...and that was - the real - internal beginnings - of me coming off all that stuff.
I knew to my core - not only did I not need it...
But I was actually
NOT supposed to be delving into those depths.
I thinks it mirrors a lot of the other personal problems I'm having currently -
like rationalizing why I'm trying to do everything that I try to do.
like Tyler Durden says in Fight Club -
"What you are experiencing is premature enlightenment"
premature to what - success in your field - the field you find yourself in?
I make and sell - soap.
fuckin' trip - I'm on a plane…

To this day - I'm still laughing off that shit….

I wouldn't be the person I am today without the psychedelics…
hahahahahhahhaha……
I've been feeling like running my brain through some recently…
I really enjoyed that stuff…the quality
Not the bunky chemicals…
I don't suggest it though - for other people.
It's just for me.
soooo deep…….

Taking mushrooms, LSD and MDMA has been the most sensible thing I've ever done. The ability to let yourself be known to yourself without putting up a barrier of willful ignorance is something a lot of people need to do

Something isn't spiritually or intellectually revealing unless there's photoshopped imagery or stock new age music played in the background

Innit, it's meant for all the naive nobheads who don't have a clue.
Shouldn't judge a book by it's cover though, right?

i agree with you, but i think at least experiencing it once in a big while is relevant for the development of the character.

People take it a bit too seriously imo. It's just a class of drugs. They aren't supposed to do anything more than you take them to.
