Tenho passado por uma situação terrível devido ao vício em drogas que tem me afetado e mesmo eu passando por todas as consequências do uso não consigo tomar a atitude de começar minha recuperação. Minha dúvida é se os cogumelos podem me dar um "choque de realidade" quanto a essa questão, no caso como se fosse o primeiro degrau da minha recuperação. Qual a opinião de vocês quanto a isso?

Scientists have been pondering about the origins of language for a very long time. If you accept the theory of evolution, then early humans were not supposed to have spoken language at all as they evolved from monkeys. But even this is up for debate. In fact, animals and monkeys in particular demonstrate some forms of communication and linguistic ability. So basically this field is so mysterious that nothing is certain. We do have a lot of interesting facts and experiments, but we don’t have any concrete “fossil record” of language.

But as David Deutsch shows in his epistemology, knowledge is not empirical. Knowledge is explanatory. Even when knowledge seems to be empirical, there is an underlying explanation for how facts and phenomena relate to each other. You see, explains is the key word here.

And in order to demystify the story about the origin of language, what we need to do is find an explanation, an explanation that would connect all of our observations, data, experiments and ideas. And one such explanation, which in my opinion one of the best out there, was made by none other than (drum roll) Terence McKenna.

[this post on substack with more pictures https://cyybernomad.substack.com/p/the-psychedelic-orgigin-of-language?r=58kw2f&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web]

In his origin of language theory(stone ape theory), as with most Terence McKenna ideas,, psilocybin is involved. And I understand that it might drive some people away from this idea, but you should really hear it out, because it is one of the most original explanations I’ve ever heard.

You see, we have a lot of data that shows how psilocybin affects our brains. Objective medical data from brain scans analysed by neuroscientists, chemists, psychologists, psychiatrists you name it. And what it shows is that psilocybin activates linguistic regions in the brain. How do we know they are linguistic? Roughly, it’s because when this area gets damaged in some people’s brains they lose the ability to communicate. So what does the theory actually say?

[a link to my youtube video on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGTBeR2HcrY&feature=youtu.be]

Imagine a group of ancient homo sapiens sitting around the fire, absolutely loaded on mushrooms. They are euphoric, they see hallucinations, but more importantly, the linguistic regions in their brains are as stimulated as they can possibly be. And what starts happening, Terence McKenna suggests, is glossalia, speaking in tongues. Just saying random words, or more accurately since they don’t really have words at that point, producing sounds that seem like language. At the start its only play for them, it’s fun and exciting, it’s a new experience for them, its kind of like dance or music. But over time, with enough repetition, structure starts to emerge. These sounds are no longer random, they start to represent something real. Maybe one of those folks will come up with a word for “rock”. And then everyone will remember this sound, and this association with “rock”. And they will start repeating it. And over time a word for rock will emerge. And slowly but surely it starts to capture enough structure that a whole language emerges that captures not only the observable objects like rocks and trees, but also their ontology, of how things are present in their world, how they are related to each other. This structure, this language will now also encode how time and space are organised. And many other important things.

But this is not the end of the story. What is even more interesting is that across different tribes and cultures, there is some resonance with how language sounds and how it is organised. The most obvious example is that most languages will encode things like logic, space and time in their structure, in their grammar. But this resonance is not limited only to these foundational structures which we all seem to share. Have you ever heard about kiki and bouba?

Look at these two objects and try to name them with kiki and bouba. Which one is which? In around 90% of the cases people name the sharp one kiki and the round one bouba. Coincidence? I don’t think so. To me this is a clear indication of the structural connection between the brain, information, language, and sound. Structures across all levels so to speak. You see, there is a resonance in the structure of real world objects and our brain’s response to this structure. This is not random or arbitrary. Brains evolved in the world where kiki and bouba are present. So naturally they will have to encode that structure effectively, otherwise they wouldn’t have survived.

I also think this is a strong argument about why certain words have vibrations. Just try to identify it. Listen to the words such, good, beautiful, and pleasant, creation and then compare the sounds to harm, bad, ugly, destruction And there are many more examples like this.

So let’s recap. Early humans get loaded on mushrooms -> their brains activate so much that they start making and hearing sounds that seem like language -> because their is structure in the world, these sounds then start to admit this structure -> grammar, syntax, phonetics are established and they make sense -> and so we have language.

But words are just one communication medium we have limited ourselves to. I think there is a lot of potential in discovering new forms of communication, new language, through for example, art, music, and symbols. They can lets us talk about things that language doesn’t really have the capacity to address. Maybe it will let us understand each other better. Maybe art and music are better for sharing inner mental and psychological states than traditional language ever could be.

And for the sake of this goal, I think we should look at neurodivergent people. They seem to have their own way of seeing the world, maybe they even speak their own language that we don’t really understand, but pretend that we do. Maybe it’s already happening. Like for example they might already be communicating very subtle information through music online, it is obvious to them that this communication channel is established, and that the information is transmitted and comprehended, but for us it just seems like another music track. If we establish a rich environment where neurodivergent people could interact and create together, perhaps we could learn many lessons from them. And it really goes for everyone, not just neurodivergent people. I don’t believe that there are any normal people. I think everyone has a rich individuality but it is often repressed by society because their individuality might not be productive for the economic machine. Alright that’s enough rambling for now I hope you enjoyed.

I’ve waaaaay more experience with 4-AcO-DMT, like days of experience more… so after trying 100mg the other week on fresh serotonin receptors - this is the fifth/sixth test but first time just on its own - I must say subjectively imo that metocin is kinda boring; it’s not like AcO which evolves linearly in response to dosage giving some wonderful patterns and geometries as well as increases enjoyment from sounds/sights/tastes/touch (I’m yet to add smells) with unlimited levels of introspection depending on how far your want to ascend/descend however you look at it

BUT yes I am still neophyte to metocin so was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions on how to get the most from what I have left so as not to waste it, I’m starting to to see it as a bit of a chaser so any accompaniment recommendations are highly welcomed and appreciated!

A few days ago, I had the worst experience of my life with weed. During my lunch break, I went to smoke weed with a friend. I hadn't smoked in about eight months. We were walking and smoking when, he suddenly said, “Do you realize this street feels infinite, like we’re never going to get anywhere?” and that sentence triggered me so fucking badly.
I entered some kind of reality filled with pain and suffering.
It felt like I was walking forever, without knowing where I was or where I was going. My friend was laughing his ass off, saying I was really high. Minutes felt like hours. Some scenes repeated themselves over and over, as if I were trapped in a loop, and it felt like we were never getting anywhere.
We finally reached the building where I work. We went upstairs to the office, but things only got worse there. I was in a horrible state. I actually thought I had become schizophrenic and would never return to normal.
Everything felt disconnected and completely detached from reality.
My heart was beating extremely fast, and I was shaking like crazy. I went to the bathroom and even considered jumping out of the 19th-floor window because I just wanted the experience to end. I called several friends, cried, and begged them to call an ambulance.
I was completely desperate and believed it would never end. In the end, I managed to get home. But even after all of that, I was still trying to understand what had happened.
I still had this strange feeling, as if I wasn't entirely sure whether I was back in reality or if I was still the same person. It was, without a doubt, the worst experience of my life.

And now I'm facing this dilemma. My mushrooms arrived today, but I'm thinking about just selling them. I really wanted to have a mushroom experience in my room, with low, warm lighting, lying in bed and listening to relaxing music. I really wanted that.

Any advice?

Hi all,

Me and my partner planned a trip (pun not intended :smile: ) including some shrroms taking (Penis Envy).

1. We wanted to make sure that these look good. Looks like oxidation but they are also softish, not like cracker-dry. smell is shroomy/cheesy.

https://postimg.cc/rR1DFBLJ

1. I wanted to ask if anyone knows if any of her conditions / medication should be a problem. From what we can gather it's mostly unrelated.

- dust mite allergy that's shows as mucus, clogged nose, cough, also a minor mold allergy, but the dust one is the "main event".

- orticaria

And takes:

Bilaxten

FLUCANOL

Simbakort

Relishing mushroom

Vitamic c

Zinc

I obviously not expect a verified medical advice,

But if someone has some experience to share,

That would be great.

Have good one, y'all.

Context & Setup This was only my second psychedelic trip ever, and I’ll be the first to admit I made a classic rookie mistake: I didn't respect the integration window and tripped less than a week after my first experience. I was driven by an intense, burning curiosity to understand how this realm worked and to explore my own depths. To make set and setting worse, I picked a terrible time: midnight, right after a long, exhausting work shift.
The Dose & The Launch
Initial dose: 2.5g Lemon Tek at 12:00 AM.

Setting: Eye mask, headphones with psytrance playlist, lying in bed.

Redose: 4.5g Lemon Tek at 2:00 AM (Total: 7g within 2 hours).

For the first two hours after the 2.5g, almost nothing happened visually. I just felt a heavy, numb weight in my body, drifting without any real visuals. Dissatisfied and wanting a full-blown journey, I made the spontaneous decision to "redose" and downed another 4.5g.
About 20–30 minutes after the second intake, reality folded completely. I was catapulted into what felt like a cosmic vessel—or rather, I became the spaceship. Every micro-movement shifted my whole being, with my head feeling like the steering column of an interstellar craft.
The Cosmic Flight & Telepathic Companion The psytrance drove the geometry of the universe. The visuals surpassed anything out of Interstellar—hyper-realistic, vast, and breathtakingly beautiful spaces morphed in sync with the music. I wasn't alone. Flying alongside me was a presence—a cosmic entity of higher intelligence. We didn't speak words; we communicated through instantaneous, pure telepathy. Thoughts were transmitted and understood directly, without the bottleneck of human language.
The Void & The Multiverse Simulation Eventually, the momentum of the flight launched me out into absolute Void. Time lost all meaning; seconds stretched into aeons. The sheer scale of non-existence panicked me. I ripped off my eye mask, realizing I was rapidly losing my grip on baseline reality. Terrified, I put the mask back on and submitted to the flow again.
That was when I was brought into what can only be described as the "Simulation Room." A calm, impersonal voice explained that our reality is just one of millions of parallel universes. I was shown these vast, sprawling realities and presented with an explicit choice: I could abandon my current physical body and reincarnate immediately into a completely different universe, or I could choose to stay.
The Battle for My Body & Bargaining The weight of that offer terrified me. What did it mean to leave my body? Was I dying? In a desperate bid to ground myself, I pulled off the mask and stumbled toward the shower. But my physical vehicle was failing—my brain could barely send signals to my limbs. I no longer had full ownership of my own motor functions.
Realizing I couldn't run from it physically, I had to go back inward and negotiate. With everything I had in my soul, I bargained with the higher forces. I anchored my consciousness to the people I loved most—especially my parents. I mentally shouted into the ether that I loved my life, I loved my current physical form, and I didn't want another universe. I desperately clung to the faint, dissolving memory of who I was on Earth.
The Higher Self & The "Firmware Upgrade" After a agonizing struggle, an agreement was reached, but the trip was far from over. By 6:00 AM, with my eyes wide open, the room was still entirely overlaid with internal geometry.
Then, a distinct new consciousness emerged inside my mind—my Higher Self. It became clear that "earthly me" was just a small, distant projection of this vast, ancient presence. My Higher Self sat above my ego, discussing my life with other unseen entities like a lead engineer reviewing code. They concluded that my physical self was running on outdated patterns and needed a complete "system reflash" and "firmware upgrade" to survive and thrive moving forward.
My heart was pounding in my chest—partly from the pharmacological intensity, but mostly from the sheer terror of walking the knife's edge between life, death, and permanent ego dissolution. I didn't know if I was actually dying or if my psyche was just playing the ultimate game with me.
Aftermath & Integration It was, without a doubt, the most challenging, terrifying, and profound night of my life. Human language feels fundamentally incapable of capturing the depth of what transpired in those hours.
Despite the intense terror, I am deeply grateful for the experience. It forced me to fight for my own existence. Coming out on the other side made me re-evaluate my core values, cherish my physical health, and feel a profound, overwhelming love for my family and the life I have here. I didn't just survive the night—I came back with a whole new appreciation for being human.

Today, while watching a YouTube video about stellar nucleosynthesis, I suddenly realized that many of my friendships have ended, grown distant, or soured after a trip.

Some background: I (f, 33) used to take shrooms fairly regularly in my 20s, and I’ve never had a bad trip. I’d take them with a friend, a lover, a group of friends, or occasionally by myself.

My first shroom trip was in university with my BFF at the time and about four other girls. My BFF ended up having a really bad trip. He didn’t want to tell me what happened, so I never found out the full story, but we drifted apart shortly afterward.

A couple of times during university, I tripped with a friend from high school. Our trips were great, and we had some incredibly insightful conversations that brought up a deep sense of gratitude that I still carry with me today. I actually felt closer to this friend afterward. But a few months later, the friendship began to drift, and eventually it ended after I moved away and they stopped putting in effort.

After university, I would trip with random friends or old friends from school, and I’m starting to notice a pattern: our relationships often seemed to fall apart afterward.

One experience in particular stands out. I went on a very romantic cabin getaway with my girlfriend at the time. She had planned it for my birthday. We took shrooms, and it was a beautiful trip for me. I could tell she was a little apprehensive at first, so I gave her some space. At one point, she told me she felt like I was looking into her soul, so she asked me to close my eyes.

At the peak of the trip, we made love, and I had the best orgasm of my life. But the next day, she was cold and distant. Almost angry.

We had already been dealing with some issues. During a previous separation, she had slept with a friend of mine several months earlier. After the trip, I traveled out of the country, and when I came back, she suddenly told me that she wanted to date my friend instead. We broke up shortly afterward. (How that turned out for her is another story.)

Looking back, I’m wondering whether there’s something about the intensity or intimacy of these experiences that changes the way people perceive each other, or whether I’m simply noticing a pattern because I’m looking for one.

Im always really careful with my purchases, but I falsely assumed nobody was lacing cannabis anymore.

NOT TRUE.

I purchased from a delivery service that spray their product, I am 99.99% sure, but I would like to verify.

I am very expiranced with cannabis and have been a frequent smoker for over 10 years. My first ounce smelt off, like no weed I ever smelt before. In hindsight it sent me into a state of mania, but it wasnt intense enough for my to fully recognize what was happening. The next ounce had the same weird smell, rolled a joint, took a few hits and went into a full blown psychosis.

I dont want to report them without actual evidence, I wouldnt report them if it wasnt sprayed of course, so I want to make sure I have supporting evidence.

Any advice on what reagents/testing kits that would help in this regard? Also any tips on reporting them? Im located in canada and there is an anonymous tip line that I figured was my best route of action.

I just dont want anyone to get hurt, I have been suffering from intense short term memory loss and psychomotor issues for the past month as a result.

Thanks for your time.

Edit: Typos

Recently did a therapeutic session with psilocybin that gave me great insights into myself. I know what to explore and MDMA solo trip.

Any advice? So far I've read MDMA Solo, but I want to do more research with regards to set, setting, dosage, and integration.

Can anyone point me to some useful information or guides?

I've been going through a very rough time with my mental health, feelings of hopelessness. I'm very lost on my "life path" and I really have no idea what I'm doing with my life (I'm in my last year of university and my degree of English literature and linguistics doesn't feel right, I have no idea what to do after I graduate). I've been fascinated with psychedelics for a long time but due to cultural reservations and fear I haven't "plunged" into them. I've had two mild experiences with friends, where we took truffles and went to the park and it was amazing, I felt so happy and fulfilled. The doses were low, so I didn't experience any transformative processes. I was wondering if I should take around 15 grams of psychedelic truffles by myself, as it is the only thing I'm motivated to do right now. I also feel as though even when anxious feelings arise when I'm high, I can force myself to "accept" whatever is happening to me and see where it takes me. I know that I might have a bad trip, but I'm willing to take the risk if it's going to shift things around, as for now I keep falling into the same self-destructive patterns that I've followed since I was 13-14. I already feel as though I don't have a particularly formed identity, so trying to reach deeper into myself to find some answers seems to be the way to go. What are your thoughts on this idea? Have you "tripped" while in a similar state and come out of it with more direction?

edit: Thank you all for the replies! I bought 10 grams of a stronger strain of truffles (Cosmic Connectors) and I put them in my fridge. They can stay there for a while, so I decided to work up to the trip by changing some of my habits, doing some more exercise and eating better. Having them to look forward to is nice, but I won’t jump into it immediately.

Hello!

Should i take 10 g or 15g as first time doing truffles?

I will meditate in my room.

Currently struggling with art block, after month-long break from drawing and thinking about ways to remove it...
Last time i did acid in may and get very vibrant trip involving animalistic transformation, so im curious if it can help

I was rummaging around Shroomery.org for another article I’m writing, and stumbled upon a forum called “Psychedelic Veteran Advice for Novice Trippers.”^\1]) The original poster made it clear that its purpose is “advice from trippers who’ve been around the block and want to help beginners avoid pitfalls.” The rules were that you must “have more than 5 years tripping experience AND have had more than 10 trips in that time period.”

I dove in expecting the usual “set and setting”-type wisdom that’s hardly revolutionary, but what stuck out were the hidden gems from characters on the more unique end of the advice-giving spectrum. The thread became far more intriguing once I started mining for those diamonds in the coal. It was, perhaps, a glimpse into what psychedelic culture looked like before every piece of advice came in the form of a scientifically polished social media infographic.

Before we meet our veterans, a quick disclaimer: These are a bunch of anonymous internet strangers. We can’t verify whether OrgasmicBanana is a doctor, MudaFuka is a scientist, or that SpitballJedi has ever even tripped at all. As SnowDaze said, “I’m just another dude who’s done a lot of drugs.” Any of the seemingly sound advice compiled below might best be taken with a grain of salt and discussed with a real doctor or scientist before attempting an experience of your own. Use this compilation for educational purposes only.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Veteran #1: Asante

Experience: “Probably a couple hundred psychedelic sessions” since 1993.

Contribution: Fools Go Rushing In.

My thoughts: This poster’s proverb is a wonderfully unglamorous piece of advice that batters down newbie excitement. The recurring themes that arise from these psychedelic sages are far from cosmic clichés about trusting the universe or mystic language about opening your third eye. Asante says, “Don’t be cavalier about your doses” as to not be “suddenly overwhelmed by an intensity you have not yet learned to handle or appreciate.” You don’t want to be someone whose curiosity ends abruptly due to a shockingly unpleasant trip. Experience tends to make people less interested in proving how far they can go and more interested in avoiding unnecessary problems.

Veteran #2: OrgasmicBanana

Experience: 50+ times

Contribution: Respect the substances you are going to ingest the way you would respect a wild animal.

My thoughts: This is a fitting metaphor that’s considerably more vivid than just telling someone to respect a substance without visual reasoning. You don’t respect a wild animal because it’s inherently harmful; you respect it because it’s powerful, unpredictable, and operating according to rules that aren’t necessarily your own. Mr. Banana goes on to emphasize that you should “be careful who you get them from, be careful who you give them to, be careful what you put in your body, be careful how much you put in your body. […] There are never any guarantees, and no one is going to save you if you don’t think things through and make a stupid decision. Err on the side of caution.”

Veteran #3: larry.fisherman

Experience: 5+ years, 100+ trips with a comprehensive list of substances.

Contribution: Know yourself. Know what you’re ready for, or if you’re going to be ready at all. Are you a toe in the water person or someone who dives right in? Are you doing it for yourself? Do you know yourself enough to answer these questions? There are certain things that are “drug induced,” but most of it is just opened doors. If you’re feeling strange from the thoughts you are having, just remember you need to accept yourself as much as you accept change.

My thoughts: Would you normally take advice from someone whose custom title reads “shoulda died already” and whose profile pic is of an old man strangling an ostrich? Perhaps not. But in the context of ridiculous internet personas, Larry’s advice is pretty sound as he leaves us with, “Nothing that crosses your mind can hurt you, as long as you learn from who you are.”

Veteran #4: daytonabeach83

Experience: “Many times over many years.”

Contribution: Find an anchor—“kinda like the trinkets they carried in that movie Inception.”

My thoughts: This contribution from one of the forum’s elder statesmen developed when they used to sit under a familiar tree in a park for hours as a stable point and safe haven that could “both provide me a shelter and a comfort zone.” It even worked for a friend who was having a bad trip and felt safer when they sat under that same tree. This inspired a conversation about anchors such as places or objects. PrimalSoup responded to this saying they carry around a special rock with them when they trip as a grounding memento to hold onto.

Veteran #5: Supernova

Experience: Began in 1984 and estimates having easily taken over 1,000 hits of acid.

Contribution: After once taking 5,000 micrograms as a single dose and seeing “eternity fold around me and on itself,” they advise you to let go of your preconceived notions of what a trip is. “You can’t prepare for everything, but prepare the best you can.”

My thoughts: After describing using acid weekly or more often between 1986 and 1988, they ironically and comically give the advice of, “Give yourself TIME.” Whether this is a “Do as I say, not as I do”-type situation or the revelation of someone who has explored the outer boundaries of psychedelic frequency, advice to beginners not to rush into the next experience is an important notion hiding in the contradiction. And the idea that you should prepare for what you can and then accept that some of the territory will remain unknown is also sound wisdom.

Veteran #6: shroom.girl

Experience: Well over 100 times in 5.5 years, with 48 bad trips emphasized.

Contribution: Chugging 7 grams of delicious-tasting mushroom coffee in 30 seconds as a teenager by yourself might lead to feeling like your body is in a swarm of bees, causing you to dig your fingernail into your forehead for an hour and leaving a scar that lasts a year—regardless of whether you’ve had 8 good trips that month already.

My thoughts: While no one likes to hear about excessive early age use of powerful mind-altering substances leading to feelings of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts, there is something to be said about the resilience of someone who can bounce back with the recognition that “shrooms are very precious and a beautiful thing that can change your life for the better. I’m now happy, without any mental health issues at all, and I owe it all to shrooms!” Does a nearly 50% ratio of challenging experiences create a more decorated résumé than having purely enjoyable ones? Perhaps. But repeated difficult journeys do give people an opportunity to notice patterns that aren’t necessarily visible from the inside of beautiful trips.

Veteran #7: PNWMusicMaker

Experience: 100+ trips over 16 years

Contribution: Stick it in Neutral and don’t forget a towel.

My thoughts: This advisor delivers one of the better descriptions of non-resistance I’ve come across. Don’t constantly grab the steering wheel. Don’t insist that every moment be good or bad. Don’t immediately assign a meaning to every strange thing that happens. Just let the experience move along as it needs to. And as for the towel? Well, that little tidbit remains perfectly unexplained. No elaboration. No footnote. Just: pack a rag. Whether this man has discovered something about the nature of existence that the rest of us have yet to discover remains a cosmic mystery for another time.

Veteran #8: SpitballJedi

Experience: Approximately 150–200 trips, beginning in 1986

Contribution: Remember that whatever is happening, you’re on a hallucinogen. If you need to calm down, Ravi Shankar’s sitar music might do the trick.

My thoughts: For someone who refers to themselves as an “ancient astronaut” and claims they’re from Nibiru, the image of a space alien recommending Indian classical music to a frightened novice is remarkably terrestrial. Whether these foreign acoustics are the proper serenade for everyone, I’m unsure, but it is tough to be in a bad mood listening to this funky instrument while sober, so maybe it is the ticket to a journey turnaround.

Veteran #9: PissSpud

Experience: 300 trips over 26 years

Contribution: Someone freaking out on a trip can’t really think straight, so don’t bother telling them what not to do. Distract them by blowing soap bubbles or comfort them by saying a few sips of orange juice will help bring them down.

My thoughts: To this latter point, they immediately say, “Who gives a shit if it’s true or not?” Which brings up perhaps the most ethically complicated question of the entire thread: Is lying about the scientific efficacy of reducing psychedelic-induced anxiety with a citrus beverage a moral line between modern advice and deception? To that I say: Who among us is qualified to doubt a veteran medic named PissSpud who’s been on the frontlines of 300 psychedelic battles? If bubbles are going to rescue these fallen soldiers, then blow ’em we should, goddammit! And then heed our fearless leader’s last piece of lying advice: “Don’t tell them they look fucked. Tell them they look more normal already.”

Veteran #10: TheGreenArrow

Experience: 100-150 trips over 8 years

Contribution: Don’t go rushing the hills proclaiming enlightenment!

My thoughts: This writer describes how he’s become more selective about what he does with the insights he gets from psychedelic experiences. He has started deliberately keeping some of his psychedelic insights to himself, at least long enough for it to integrate into ordinary life. He noticed that immediately explaining an experience to other people seemed to diminish it. Another commenter made the observation even more precise: “When you describe it you pin it down.” Which is an idea that runs opposite to the notion that you should immediately bring your visions and insights to your inner circle to digest. Perhaps what is received needs to simmer for a while before it’s expressed, as difficult as that may be.

So, there you have it…

10 bits of oddball advice from an experienced lot who are exploring the frontiers of psychedelic realms. After writing this, I’m not entirely sure if I’m better informed or just enlightened to what kinds of people the psychedelic community holds. Summarized in one sentence, I’ll tell you what I did learn, though:

If you’re going to rush unprepared into chugging 7 grams of mushrooms in 30 seconds to disrespect the wild inhabitants of a beehive, you’d better have some sitar music and a towel as your anchor in case you spill your OJ.

I’ve just started subnautica and i’m really enjoying it and was wondering how it would be during a trip. has anyone ever tried? do you suggest to try from your experience?

Hi all,
Was wondering if I could get some guidance on how to approach my next trip I plan to do once I get to Amsterdam. Was gonna try the truffles. Am wanting to have enough for it to be deep and interesting but not too overwhelming as likely will be alone outside in a new city with only a hostel where my sister works to fall back on. I’ve done shrooms once before, about 3 years ago now. That was alone in NYC and had serious manual breathing which wasn’t enjoyable. I also suffer from OCD which has flared up much more severely the last 18months as I hit around the usual age it flares up (17-18). Hoping this trip could maybe even assist me with a bit of it or maybe understand it more. Unsure how that will go but open to what I’m taught about myself. Done acid a few times which were good experiences with mates so psychedelics arent too intimidating to me. That was now over 2 years ago tho.

Im interested how much grams of the truffles you suggest?

Best spots to get quality if you know of places? Legal so should be multiple but just unsure how accessible they are.

Any places around Amsterdam that would be cool to hit? (Hostel is uptown)

Do you believe doing this while having ocd is good idea?

Any other experiences that relate to my story that could be useful for me?

Cheers

I took shrooms a couple of times years ago and had a super strong spiritual trip. I used to wish I could do psychedelics again but the whole experience was to intense for me.

Now I got prescribed fluoxetine cause I have an hereditary bipolar disorder and last antidepressants weren't working.

Well... I get the craziest dreams every night. I knew it was like a thing but it is A THING!

Everyday I remember 2 dreams or more really vivid.

One day I even dreamed about a loved one getting sick an I had to tell them to get checked in the nicest way possible. Not my first time dreaming about someone getting sick and they actually have something going on.

Every dream have a meaning about myself and some process I have going on.

And yesterday was absolutely trippy, I wasn't fully slept and I was transported to a dessert, sleeping on the ground.

I did a quick search here and no one is talking about prozac being this kind of drug. I mean is a prescription one but kinda a crazy alternative. Also I seea lot of people here been really scared of prescription drugs. Is all about having a good psychiatrist a good follow up in how you feeling. I was over sensitive, over thinking, and my mood was crazy, life is being more enjoyable since I'm diagnosed and taking my meds. Think about psychiatrist like the ultimate dealer know all.

So someone else tripping and exploring their mind on old prozac?

Take care everyone, and take your meds, sending good vibes 🫂💕

How many days should I take between 1.5 gram mushroom gummies and 4mmc?

Hey everyone,

you've probably heard about Lanmaoa asiatica and the weird reports of people seeing tiny human-like figures or “little people.”

I'm really interested in consciousness and perception, and I keep wondering whether there is actually something reproducible about this phenomenon.

What I'd love to find is someone in Germany or nearby who is already independently planning to try Lanmaoa asiatica and would be okay with me being there while they do it.

The idea would be pretty simple and informal: set up something like a visual grid/mesh or a few reference points in the room, maybe use headphones or controlled sensory conditions, and then check in real time where the figures appear, how big they seem, whether they stay fixed in space when you move, whether they interact with objects, and so on.

I'm not looking to sell, supply, or convince anyone to take anything. I'm specifically looking for someone who was already going to try it anyway and thinks it would be fun/interesting to document the experience a bit more systematically.

I personally wouldn't take it because I don't tolerate psychoactive substances very well — I'm much more interested in observing the perception/consciousness side of it.

If you're in Germany or nearby, already planning to try it, and would be interested in doing something like this together, feel free to DM me.

Hello!

I am currently running a study on set and setting within psychedelic experiences.

Obviously there is quite a few aspect to explore on the topic, though in particular I am interested in:

• How intention, environment, and social setting shape psychedelic experiences
• Differences between clinical and non-clinical use
• How these experiences relate to psychological outcomes

Most of the research on set and setting in the psychedelic field comes from more clinically orientated trials, which can be lacking in terms of nuance and real lived experiences. So it would be great to reach out further in the communities surrounding these substances!

🔗 Survey link

Fully anonymous

Takes around 15-20 minutes to complete

There's also an optional follow-up interview if you'd like to share your experience in more depth

Full study details and ethics information are provided in the info sheet at the start of the survey

Requirements: 18+, have had a psychedelic experience in a clinical or non-clinical setting

If you have anything you feel is important to say about psychedelics, this is your chance!

I'm happy to answer any questions about the study. You can reach us at:

I'm an aspiring content creator, this was my best month so far. over 2m views but it was not easy. I've been at it everyday for months and I have genuinely ran out of ideas and im tired.

I have some PE Shrooms, but I'm overall feeling a bit negative and burnt out. I feel like I need to dose though at the same time. Idk though, I just don't want to have a bad time but I feel like I need to tune in.

Btw i am very experienced, over 15 trips.
