❤️🔥✊❤️💪🔥❤️ !!! LET'S MAKE THIS THE BEST TRIBE SEUSS COMPETITION EVER !!! ❤️🔥💪❤️✊🔥❤️

Dear Friends,

I am so excited for this competition, I can hardly contain myself!

I am ecstatic to see that Horsey has extended the deadline for submissions so more will be able to contribute.

I wanted to say, that the medicinal value of psychedelics is particularly close to my heart, and I really hope that we will see a lot more contributions in this category, as I think it is of massive benefit to the community as a whole.

For others to read and understand how psychedelics can be applied for healing I hope will enlighten them and lead them on a path to research this and find a new path to relieve their pain and suffering.


WE NEED TO SHOW THE HEALING POWER IF THIS MEDICINE NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE!!!

Let's consider this a competition also a sharing of valuable knowledge, and let's teach those that would seek to end our work and continue with this senseless prohibition that what they are really seeking to achieve is doing nothing but harm and damage to their fellow human beings, NOT helping or protecting us.


SHARE YOUR WORDS!!
SHARE YOUR HEALING EXPERIENCES!!!
SHARE YOUR LOVE OF THIS MEDICINE!!!
BE HEARD!!!

Nothing will demonstrate more what we are really working for, than a torrent of posts and articles demonstrating the power of this medicine, and the joy, healing, and enlightenment that so many have benefited from it's use!

So...


LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD!!!

And I invite you all to contribute your words of love and passion for this medicine!

it’s so funny it took me dozens of trips to realize this. when I finally closed my eyes with headphones in it was like I was finally experiencing acid for the first time. Like obviously I had great trips before but it was just me experiencing something on LSD as opposed to just experiencing LSD. It’s definitely nice being able to open your eyes, step outside and reground yourself though. Those closed eye journeys get confusing

Dear GC,

Thank you for the submission, It indeed sounds like a crazy experience!

Thanks for the thanks. Regarding the blame, that made me chuckle. I apologise. All listings have a warning for a reason my friend! These tabs are dosed correctly, with the highest purity crystal, so they are going to have a bit more of bang than others you might find on the markets!

Sadly, under dosed tabs cause confusion in how much people will think a dose is going to affect them. I wish there was some better standardisation and ethics in how people lay and describe their products. It will come.

Will you be submitting to any other categories my friend?

Also, if you would like to mirror this trip report in the ⚠️TRIBE SEUSS TRIP REPORTS⚠️ thread, I will give you the approptiate ✍🏼TripReporter flare.

Have a good week my friend, thanks for taking the time to contribute, and stay safe.

Love and blessings, DS

Dear GC,

Do not mistake us for a band of tree hugging hippies my friend. We are some pretty well educated individuals.

I have a holistic approach to mental health, combining talking therapy, neurochemical considerations with relation to exercise, brain hacks, mindfulness etc, traditional medications, and the respectful use of psychedelics as a tool for healing.

Psychedelics were a massive part of my own mental health recovery, and what I can only describe as rebirth many years ago, and since this experience I have worked to make them available to all those who have been through similar situations in their lives, and to advise and educate on how to use them effectively and safely for medicinal purposes.

This does not mean however that I think they are simply "magic", I just propose that we do not have a full understanding and a decent working theory of consciousness yet. Psychedelic experiences are very subjective, they effect different people in different ways, and there are some effects which we do not have the capacity to explain, yet.

I do not think that we have no idea whatsoever how the brain works, what receptors compounds bind with, and how neurochemical interactions affect our mood and our perception. We know a great deal about biochemistry, otherwise LSD would never have been created.

I am however still on the fence as to whether consciousness emerges from complext information processing in the brain, or whether consciousness renders reality. I am leaning towards the latter, the more I read and watch and listen to and the more I experience with my own senses.

I have come to some kind of conclusion that we are all fragments of one universal consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, which we might refer to a souls, in an infinite multiverse of all possible timelines and experiences since I did a 1mg insufflation and experienced this for myself about 5 years ago.

Interstingly enough, there is now a mathematical theory exploring this very concept developed by Donald Hoffman (I know, the name could not be more appropriate), akin to simulation theory, which I came across recently. There seem to be some holes in it still, but my intuition is that he is on the right track.

I always like to think that the spiritual and the esoteric is just science with differrent buzzwords. It is the science of consciousness, explained in the best way those spiritually enclined among us know how. And science, equally, is trying to explain spirituality and esotericicsm in the best way it knows how. Attempting to uncover the truth of the unknown with the scientific method.

The only question reall is, do you believe that consciousness emerges from the physical properties of the brain and the complex informaion processing between neurons, and that's all there is to it. Or, do you believe that spacetime and reality as we know it emergent from pure consciousness?

If you take a look at the work of Clauser, Aspect, and Zeilinger, you will see that they have proven that the universe is not in fact "real". There is no continuity of the locality of particles on the quantum scale. Objects do not have definite properties independent of observation. That which is not observed, does not yet exist. They won the nobel prize for this last year.

So, this leads one to the question, if the brain is made of particles which have no definite properties independent of observation, how can this be what generates consciousness?

Mind bending, I know, but I invite you to have a read into it yourself, and enjoy the rabbit hole.

I think I could go on here into duality and philosophy and particle physics for days at this point, but my point being, do not hold the impression that we are in any way single minded people, who reject science. Quite the opposite. We are open minded people who are humble enough to admit that science cannot explain everything yet, and maybe never will.

If you read a lot about love and light and think it is hippy dippy, do not. It is simply that without love and compassion, awakening and truth, humanity is surely doomed. And that is a simple fact of the world we live in.

Essentially my friend, you can write about this from whatever angle you see fit, and all will be held valid. And I for one will no doubt find reading about the subject from a medical and biochemical standpoint absolutely fascinating, and actually quite refreshing.

Always dare to be different!

Have a great week, and stay safe my friend.

Love and blessings, DS

PS. Sorry if that was a bit all over the place. I have been here for now 16 hours and my brain is soup at this point. Just one more page of notifications to attend to, and I will leave you all in peace.

My Journey with Psychedelics
(LSD-25)

This is a story about my experiences with LSD. About 5 years ago, I finally got my hands on what I considered to be the real deal. For background, I've done a lot of substances. My taste in drugs lies mostly in psychedelics, massive doses of psychedelics.

I had found a powerful new resource for sourcing most any drug known..the darknet. For the first time, I had come face to face with this elegant, powerful, fascinating, mind-bending molecule so potent it could fit on a small piece of paper.


The first hits I bought were advertised at 100ug hits. The first night I had a chance, I cleared everything out of my life for the next day and ate two of the blotters. I got a pretty nice trip. Music induced the most amazing euphoria I had ever experienced. I got some nice tracers, melting walls, brightened visual patterns. Pretty easy going trip.


Flash forward. My stock ran out. I had tripped twice on acid. I bought another strip from a different source, advertised at 200ug per hit. These where certainly much stronger than the first batch. The first time I tried this batch, I took 2 hits. I basically got all the effects as the first couple of trips, just amplified. Along with the tracers, I got some fuzzy morphing visual patterns. My vision became more distorted. But still, no fractals, no intense introspection. There was a very pronounced body load.

I spent the next year and a half trying different blotters. I have no doubt that all the stuff was actual lsd. It was all tasteless, active via straight ingestion (not sublingually like the nbomes), and produced effects consistent with what LSD has to be.

Finally, I got lucky. I was able to buy crystal Lysergic acid diethylamide. 15 mg I bought. I received in a protected sealed envelope. Inside was the crystal, carefully wrapped in a small piece of wax paper. I bought some amber dropper bottles. Using the dropper, I carefully measured counted drops of vodka into the dropper bottle.

Finally, the last step. I opened the little wax paper packet of LSD crystal. This stuff was so beautiful. I almost blew a nut in my pants when I laid eyes on it. It was the consistency of light tinny crystals. It wasn"t really powdery. just really small, pure white crystals. Almost like flakes. After pondering over the beauty of the crystals for an hour or so, I made the vial. I dumped the crystals into the vial of vodka mix. They dissolved instantly on contact with the liquor. I sealed the vial, gave it a shake and it was ready.


I couldn't wait to try it. I had made the vial at my friend's. We both dosed pretty much instantly after it was done. I gave him 6 drops, 300ug. I was a little selfish and took 800ug to reach the peak I had been longing for. Well damn did I find it! We just took the LSD as liquid, right on the tongue as is.

You can feel the stuff sliding down the back of your throat. It has a very distinct feeling. I rinsed it down with some water or soda. I dont remember to be honest. And wow.

It hit me instantly. From the time it hit my tongue, something felt different. I couldn't quite tell you how. This was about years ago so I am recalling the best I can. After about 5 minutes, I could feel the come up. I felt a little floaty. A little bit of uncertainty. Did I take too much? Not enough? 20 minutes in and my vision was definitely altered. I was seeing the walls behind me change color. Like I could see the walls behind me changing spectacular colors, but I wasn"t looking at the walls. This applied to whatever was behind me. There was an aura of color behind me that I could somehow see.

30 minutes in and I am bracing myself on my friend's sofa. There has been no body load but I am coming on hard. This rocketed me into another realm.

Peak:

I laid back on the couch, closed my eyes. I was getting overwhelmed with open eyed visuals. I was seeing tracers, color shifts. Delicate patterns seemed to begin dancing around. The carpet began to move.

I lost touch of familiar reality more or less. I could remain lucid for a second or two, but the trip would suck me back into the depths of my mind.

We went outside and wanted a change of scenery. We went for a walk.
It was a beautiful, clear summer night. As we stroll, I couldn't help but notice how distorted my vision was. My vision was almost folding in on itself when looking off into the starry sky. But when looking at the nearby parked cars, it seemed to be be like looking thru a wide angle lens or fish eye lens. We walked up to the street. I sat down on the curb. My friend walked half way across the road and became distracted looking up into the sky. We exchanged somewhat sarcastic words to each other, until I noticed some incoming cars. He's just standing there in the middle of the road gazing into the night sky with a huge grin on his face and pupils the size of fucking quarters. I shout "get out of the fucking road before you get run over". He realizes what's going on and moved to the other side of the road. We had a good laugh, and walked back to his spot.

We accepted that we would be up all night. We look at the clock. It's midnight. We had dosed at 10pm. We both look at each other and simultaneously say, oh damn. One minute was an eternity.

I began to get these bizarre audio hallucinations. It was kind of a higher pitched echo frequency that would descend in pitch until I could no longer hear it. The walls were fluidly waving and morphing.

I closed my eyes. I didn't want to see how distorted everything was. I was peaking hard. I went deep within myself, within humanity. I thought about the anatomy of the human body, how complex we are, how amazing it is that our bodies function automatically. I went deeper. How did we come to be. God didnt fucking put us here. We are the product of shit happens. There is no way that I am.... I, what is I...I lost my train of thought. I lost my self-awareness. There was no way I could possibly exist. No God put me here. So that leaves evolution? So I am the glorified product of some amino acids joining forces into the first proteins, that assembled the first cell, all the fucking way down the line thru trials and tribulations. Millions of years of evolution couldn't possibly yield something as complex as myself, could it... No there is no way that I could possibly exist. And even if I did exist, through all the biochemical evolution that took place over the last couple million years, there is absolutely no way I could become this intoxicated, and still be alive. I wasn't even intoxicated. I was on a differeny plane. I couldn't possibly be in this state and still be alive. I could feel what I thought to be my brain shutting down. Those poor abused neurons shutting down and shriveling up at the hands of this masterful, powerful chemical. Wow, the doors of perception cleansed and perfectly clear.

I opened my eyes and I couldn't see. Everything was white. I could only see white. After about a minute, my vision gradually came back. I was gone. Helpless. I literally thought I wasnt alive. I got up, and moved to a chair. Ok I was alive, but how much longer till I slip away? Lsd has never killed anyone before, will I be the first? I felt like I was dying temporarily. My friend asks if I am alright. He knew I had taken more than him. He was tripping balls, but he was still lucid. He didn't realize I took alot more than he did.

Oh..fresh air, night sky, cool wind. It is calm yet overpowering, but in a more bearable way now. I am about 3 hours in. I think I have eased on it at this point. I spend about an hour just watching the stars dance and flicker, watching trees on the horizon sway gently in the breeze. The leaves were waving, swirling, sparkling, alive.

I go back inside, amazing body high..weightless. No body load and anxiety. I lay down on the couch, my friend throws on some Dark Side of the Moon. The acid really tuned me into this fine frequency. Familiar music, comfort, body energy. I was totally at comfort. At home.

I lay, contemplating life, watching the walls breath, dance, simmer like a mirage for a while as the acid once again shifts my perception. I entered a world of fractals. I watch as the most amazing, molecular looking geometric pattern began to emerge from the ceiling. It was submerged with hints of orange, hazy purple, pink and indigos.

These abstract and genuinely amazing unworldly visuals persisted for hours from this point. We layed on the couches in his livingroom, listening to music, tripping out, savoring the experience. Around 6am we went out and watched the sunrise on acid.

It was truly an amazing night. We had some amazing conversations, talking about some of the most random and bizarre stuff you could ever imagine. Some of the conversations were deep and philosophical.

I finally knew what the hippies was preaching about. I finally understood why William Leonard Pickard gave up his life to the law to make something that was illegal. I finally understood why this stuff fueled a revolution of love and liberty. I finally understood what LSD was all about, finally...

LSD is an amazing substance with vast potential to change our world. Too fucking bad it got labeled as a drug..

good luck everyone!
"Ahh, so that's LSD… but then what's Acid?" Having only just smoked around then, naive 17-year-old me was enchanted by the idea of changing my perception in a much stronger way than I had already experienced, and so started my ever-evolving relationship with LSD.

It was more than just plain curiosity at that point; it was a consuming desire to experience the "I can't even explain with words"-ness of a psychedelic trip. But until I could get my hands on LSD, I explored the depths of my mind with weed and suppressed the desire to experience LSD through trip reports.

At 19, I finally had the chance to try it out, and it was life-changing. The two tabs I took made me feel things I hadn't felt, think things I hadn't thought, and see things I had never seen before. I went to bed that night staring at my ceiling with a smile on my face - a smile that hasn't left my face since.

Over the course of the next year and a half, my relationship with LSD was about discovering the world through the eyes of the psychedelic lens. It was a very me-centric focus. The newness of the experience had me trying it as often as I could, mixing it with weed and upping the dose. This phase came to an end after my college informed me that it's not all fun and games; I had flunked out, and my relationship with drugs and LSD at this point wasn't healthy.

Learning from my mistakes, I embraced the lesson of moderation, which I had encountered multiple times throughout my life. With low grades preventing me from getting into most community colleges near me, and my parents no longer supporting me financially, I had to straighten up quickly.

During that time away from school, I learned about microdosing and discovered the marvelous world hidden in the onion patch. I spent the whole year experimenting with microdoses, striving to become a better version of myself. I repaired my relationship with my parents and sought to be the best version of myself for my new friends and coworkers. Microdosing felt healing, and I couldn't keep it all to myself.

"It feels like it's a beautiful sunny day outside, and you've had the perfect amount of sleep." I made this pitch to most of my coworkers, all of whom (including one of my bosses) decided to try it out. I felt like Lucy's prophet, and while I made that comment in jest, I was able to spread Lucy's love to so many people that summer. All who tried it felt nothing but warmth and love, and I couldn't have asked for any better gift than that.

Although I eventually returned to school and my relationship with LSD became healthier, my relationship with drugs hadn't changed much. This realization came after a summer in 2018 when I had an experience that broke me down badly.

While LSD wasn't involved at all in this experience, the importance of set and setting and respecting my body and mind was drilled into me. I had recently broken up with my ex and was torn between wanting to be single and being devoted to someone new. The festival amplified this conflict, and under the influence of Molly, ketamine, weed and alcohol, I found myself feeling guilty and anxious and unsure of who I was/wanted to be. This only made me spiral more into confusion, paranoia, fear and in the midst of thousands of people, I felt utterly alone, scared and judged. It took time to heal from that experience and overcome my fears.

I only drank alcohol for years after that, using it as an escape from my anxieties. It was safe. It didn’t change my perception like other drugs did, and I was scared to go back to that headspace where I had lost sense of what was real or not. However, as time passed, I found myself healing and becoming more at peace with my past.

They say you can take the boy out of the country, but not the country out of the boy, and that's how I feel with LSD. It became such an integral part of who I am, helping break down the constructs that held me back from becoming a genuine empathetic person. My upbringing in a conservative-religious environment constrained me, but LSD played a significant role in my journey to breaking free from that mindset.

Lucy has been waiting patiently, giving me all the time I needed to be ready to come back to her. While I left her a mess, I've returned years later as a much more put-together person. I have a career, my own family, and I'm very happy with where I'm at in my life. I feel safe again to step through the doors and meet with her, embracing all that she has to offer.

Dear Z,

Thank you so much for contributing this beautiful journey.

Our relationship with psychedelics is a lifetime evolution.

The medicine comes when we need it, and leads us on the path we must follow.

Thank you for sharing, and good luck!

Love and blessings, DS
MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF LSD:

Greetings! Today, I'm excited to share my remarkable encounter with the intriguing substance known as LSD! ✨🔥

Let's begin by exploring the therapeutic advantages that LSD has introduced into my life. I once battled anxiety. I often found myself restlessly tapping my leg, often without my awareness. Though it wasn't a significant concern for me, I could sense it annoying those around me.

However, the entrance of LSD into my life created a complete transformation. I evolved into an improved version of myself, and anxiety retreated. Those involuntary movements, such as leg-tapping, vanished completely. My connection with nature deepened, and I even found it simpler to overcome my minor MDMA habit.

Now, let's delve into the world of LSD microdosing. I'm absolutely captivated by microdosing LSD. I am convinced that I could sustain an entire lifetime with a consistent 20ug LSD microdose every 6 hours. My creativity flourishes, and my mood elevates--there's so much more! Microdosing allows me to maintain a standard routine while reaping the benefits of LSD.

Let's delve deeper: I genuinely believe that the legalization of LSD could yield profoundly positive outcomes. The concrete benefits of LSD microdosing have the potential to revolutionize various aspects of one's life. It's not a coincidence; it's reality. LSD broadens mental horizons, encouraging contemplation of diverse viewpoints and unconventional approaches to the world's mechanisms.

In my view, moderation perfects everything—be it psylocin, LSD, or other substances (with a few exceptions). It's akin to dietary habits! Just as moderation maintains equilibrium in eating, controlled usage is crucial with psychedelics. Excessive indulgence leads to intense experiences, but mindfulness permits harmonious coexistence.

Speaking of intriguing theories, have you encountered the one about ancient monkeys? 🐒 The theory proposes that these monkeys engaged with shrooms, catalyzing their brain's evolution. This expansion of thinking led to innovations, ultimately transforming the species from stick-wielding monkeys to tool-using humans. While these notions may sound unconventional, they possess a certain rationale upon closer examination. Historical drawings in Spanish caverns depict the utilization of psychedelic substances from bygone eras. This demonstrates the profound influence of substances on us—it's akin to a roadmap for evolution. So, why not consider their current potential?

Here's another perspective: the origins of psychedelic bans. When European colonizers arrived in South America, indigenous populations practiced enlightening shroom rituals. With the introduction of foreign culture and religion, these rituals were branded as satanic and malevolent. This branding likely contributes to the prohibition of numerous psychedelics. Were you also aware that even in the "land of freedom," exploring psychedelic substances was prohibited? A thought-provoking paradox, isn't it?

Considering this, it's plausible that LSD remains illegal due to antiquated regulations. Admittedly, universal availability of LSD might not be the most prudent step, but envision specialized establishments for adults. Such establishments would be fascinating, given the potential benefits of LSD across various aspects of life, as previously discussed. This isn't random musings; it's a factual consideration. LSD expands one's cognitive terrain, enhancing perspectives.

In conclusion, my experience with LSD has been profoundly transformative. It's a substance that has illuminated new perspectives, alleviated anxiety, and enriched my worldview. I am eagerly anticipatory of the prospects that lie ahead in psychedelic research and comprehension!

As society becomes more amenable to exploring the potential merits of substances like LSD, we stand to unearth even more about their influence on human cognition and well-being.

Visualize a world where psychedelics are employed judiciously, guided by scientific knowledge and seasoned experts. Therapeutic applications might transcend beyond anxiety and addiction, potentially offering relief for depression, PTSD, and existential anguish through the deliberate integration of psychedelics into comprehensive treatment methods.

Furthermore, the exploration of consciousness and the enhancement of creativity could be significantly augmented by embracing these substances into our lives. Just as they may have played a part in our evolutionary journey, they could continue aiding our development as individuals and as a society.

As we reflect on my journey with LSD and the wider implications of psychedelic substances, let's bear in mind that the discourse is far from complete. The path forward entails rigorous study, open conversations, and a balanced strategy to ensure the secure and effective assimilation of these substances into our lives.

However, it's unwise to assume that the government will legalize LSD. Chances are, they will not, potentially due to reluctance in regulating its usage—deeming it "too demanding." It's probable that they prefer redirecting tax revenue for their benefit. Consider Spain, where the underground cannabis trade accumulates millions weekly, if not daily. By regulating the cannabis industry, the Spanish government could significantly bolster their finances. However, they choose to accept bribes from Spanish mafias smuggling hash and weed from Morocco, rather than uplifting citizens. This underscores the dichotomy where a positive aspect is countered by a negative influence with vested interests.

LSD isn't a prevalent street drug; thus, extensive bribery seems improbable. Nevertheless, the power of illegal mafias and cartels remains substantial. These entities are often linked to impoverished regions, yet they exert influence worldwide, even in Europe. Astonishingly, the largest mafia globally is law enforcement—a legitimate albeit tainted one. This emphasizes that even if legalizing LSD were under contemplation (a doubtful prospect), criminal organizations, cartels, and mafias would vehemently resist.

As we embrace this evolving landscape, let's maintain open minds, broaden perspectives, and engage in respectful discussions. Collectively, we possess the potential to uncover new dimensions of understanding, healing, and personal growth--ushering in an era where psychedelic advantages contribute constructively to individual well-being and societal improvement. 🌌🌎🌟

Love to my Spanish subdread friends, I added a lot of more non medical stuff like the theories but I think they were necessary for understand other concepts like why LSD won't be legal thanks to our goverments n shit... If u wanna have fun, read my text, its kinda funny, u will have fun, I wrote some funny lines and stuff, I hope u guys like it!
Hello chickpea1999,

Thank you for your submission.

I really enjoyed reading about your experience with LSD microdosing. I agree that there a lot of benefits to it and more people should be aware of this.

It's a shame that most governments are not ready to recognize what a powerful tool psychedelics are and how those sacred molecules can really help and heal our society.

I hope this will change one day but like you I have little hope for this to happen any time soon.

Love and Light!

Dear P,

Again, my thanks.

All's well that ends well, and given enough time, all things ultimately do end well.

Been a long old year, but things very much ended well, and on a high note with all The Tribe.

This year is where it is all going to be paying off and bearing fruit.

CA is going, AL is going, TR is going, all perfect supply routes.

RU has been chugging along, of course, UK, USA, and SA pumping as usual.

I have my sight set on somewhere particularly exciting right now, but as usual lips sealed until that flag appears on the site!

Have a great week.

Love and blessings, DS
Ayy! Keep on keeping on doc! You'll always have my back no matter what!
Have a nice weekend, peace and take care!

Dear P,

Well, finally all that hard work you have been telling me to take a break from is paying off, the seeds we have planted sprouting, and the grinding baring fruit.

Who knows, maybe I will even be able to take that weekend away we have been discussing for so long soon! Pigs do sometimes fly.

Have a great week.

Love and blessings, DS
Ayyy! I wish you so! You deserve it so fucking much with all the effort and work your doing for us.
Are you still working on trying to bring back the DS 2.0 in the middle of all this ridiculous workload? If so, what is so special about?
/u/Dr_Seuss P The Doctor

Dear P,

Well, I will admit, work is constantly on and off. Right now, working mainly just on making sure that we have an excess of backup stock in all the outlets to prevent downtime, and concentrating on pumping out only the 3.0 to that end.

What is so special about 2.0? Well, as I have said elsewhere, it is more introspective. For those who like to solo trip and meditate and do a bit of self healing, I think it is a better choice. And also, I prefer it for microdosing. Due to the very clear headed experience of 3.0, at low dosages it has much less of a psychological effect than the 2.0 and I have always just found that the 2.0 puts me in a better place.

Of course, all very subjective, but this has been my experience and the experience of others in the past.

I do not really know if/when we will be able to bring it back, but personally I would really love to provide a range of crystals, 2.0, 3.0, and the pending 4.0, if that were possible. We will see as time goes on.

Have a great week.

Love and blessings, DS
That's interesting, also DS 4.0? Holy shit i'm not ready! What are you aiming for with this one? 100% purity? The 3.0 is already godlike, i can't possibly imagine how you can make it any better.

Dear P,

We are mainly playing with the crystalisation, to get some nice big needles.

So far maintaining purity while growing large crystal has been hard, but will keep working on it whenever we find time.

Don't hold your breath. It will come when it comes.

Love and blessings, DS
Does it really have an impact on the effects? Is there really a point to doing this?

Dear P,

Well, this is the experiment really. I guess we will see!

It's already beautiful:

⚠️DS-4.0 Dev⚠️

Sneak peek... URL expiring in a few days...

That yellow hue, you can obviously see purity is not what we want it to be yet. It's a bit too heady for my liking.

Although, with that said, I have just thought about letting it be what it is. The 3.0 is already so clean. It might be nice to just have a bit of a mind melter available in the menu for those who like the deep introspective experience.

Will keep playing with it. The other things is making sure it stays consistent. If we are going to name a crystal, I want it to always be the same experience with each batch, just like the 3.0, which is quite a hard task. We can lock it down though.

Let's see what the future holds...

Love and blessings, DS
Holy shit, those are really gnarly looking! I'm definitely gonna be on the look out for these cause i love what you're describing here and it sounds pretty interesting. How long have you been working on this?

Dear P,

To be honest, on and off for a couple of years really. As i say, time in short supply, but when we do synths we do a bit of experimenting at the same time. A work in progress. Good things come to those who wait.

Currently in the golden porcupinepoint phase. She will evolve like the proverbial pokemon.

Love and blessings, DS
That's awesome i can't wait to try it out!
As I lay on the grimy pavement, hidden from the world, homeless, weeks without bathing, days without eating, and dope sick from my latest two-year heroin binge, a moment of clarity struck me - it was time to seek help. After a three-month stay at a state-funded recovery center, I found myself still adrift, still helpless. So, I decided to drown my pain in alcohol for a few more months. But then, it hit me.

This wasn't my purpose.

As sobriety began to seep back into my life, I encountered a young man selling something entirely foreign to me - LSD. I thought, "Well, I have nothing to lose." From that initial experience, I was captivated. For the first time, I looked at myself in the mirror not with shame, but with love. It was an emotion so new to me that it brought me to tears, a thanksgiving to the higher powers that granted me the simple gift of continued breath, despite my many brushes with overdose. I had reckoned that my nine lives were spent.

Now, over a decade since I last pressed a needle into my skin, I still partake in the occasional drink on my roughest days. But never enough to lose sight of my awareness. I'm now a business owner and happily married. In these years, I've learned more about myself than in the decades that came before. Lessons of unity, self-love, manifestation, and the sheer divinity of my existence have become my guiding lights.

This medicine has been instrumental in opening my mind, revealing a world of astonishing perfection. It's shown me my flaws, yet illuminated the path to mending them. I'm not one for microdosing; instead, I opt for profound experiences every couple of weeks to a month apart. Each journey brings a lesson, a revelation.
Hello Buddha915,

Thank you so much for the great submission.
What an inspiring story! I really enjoyed reading your it.

So glad that this sacred crystal has helped you!

Love and Light!

Dear 1PE,

Horsey is right, there is a category for everyone here.

People seem to be focusing too much on "My Craziest Trip", but this is only one of 3. And this is probably going to be the most highly contested category too.

People would be wise to consider the others. And by the rules, people can actually submit 3 reports, 1 for each category, which would increase chances of winning in at least one of the categories.

You have to be in it to win it!

Love and blessings, DS
Hello, I was thinking the same. I Will probably post 1 or 2 in mid August or in second half of august. Thanks!

MY JOURNEY WITH PSYCHEDELICS

Introduction:
Embarking on a journey with psychedelics has marked a turning point in my life. Beyond their mystical allure, these substances have become catalysts for profound personal growth. They've acted as guides, leading me through the labyrinth of my own trauma, fostering spiritual expansion, mindfulness, and compassion towards both others and myself. In this narrative, I'll delve into the ways in which psychedelics have become a remarkable force of transformation, shaping the way I navigate the world and fostering a deeper connection with myself and those around me.

My own transformative healing journey illuminated a path I couldn't ignore. Witnessing the incredible impact of psychedelics on my own life, I felt an unwavering call to share these possibilities with others. This powerful motivation led me to pursue an education in psychedelic facilitation and mental health wellness coaching. Armed with personal experience, empathy, and a deep understanding of the potential for healing, I aim to guide and support individuals on their unique journeys towards well-being, just as I was once guided myself. This mission to be a beacon of hope and growth for others propels me forward with a determination to make a lasting impact in the realm of mental health and holistic wellness.

What follows is my integration work with my schooling so far:

Indigenous Culture and Plant Medicines:
In our journey towards greater understanding and appreciation of Indigenous cultures, the teachings of wise individuals have illuminated the path. These teachings transcend borders and invite us to explore the depth of Indigenous wisdom, fostering cultural intelligence.

One important aspect of Indigenous teachings is the exploration of shamanic traditions and their use of plant medicines and psychedelic substances. For instance, the indigenous cultures of the Amazon rainforest, such as the Shipibo-Conibo people, have a deep-rooted tradition of working with ayahuasca, a powerful plant medicine known for its transformative properties. The Shipibo people consider ayahuasca as a sacred teacher and healer, using it in ceremonial rituals to connect with the spiritual realm, gain insights, and promote personal growth. Similarly, the Mazatec people of Mexico have a long-standing tradition of using psilocybin-containing mushrooms for spiritual and healing purposes. The Quechua and Aymara peoples in the Andean region embrace the transformative properties of Wachuma (San Pedro cactus). Wachuma ceremonies have been practiced for centuries as a means of spiritual awakening and healing. These examples demonstrate how Indigenous cultures have honed their understanding of plant medicines and psychedelics over generations, offering profound wisdom and insights into the interconnectedness of nature, consciousness, and culture. Embracing Indigenous perspectives allows us to approach these practices with respect and recognition of their cultural significance.

Another fundamental teaching revolves around fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for Native American traditions. It is essential to recognize the richness of Indigenous knowledge systems and their relevance to contemporary challenges. Embracing ancestral wisdom and preserving Indigenous heritage are acts of empowerment and resilience. Through this lens, we can learn from the values, traditions, and stories passed down through generations, creating a stronger and more inclusive society.

Additionally, it is crucial to approach the topic with sensitivity towards cultural appropriation. As we engage with Indigenous wisdom, it is essential to recognize and respect the boundaries set by these communities. Cultural appropriation occurs when aspects of a marginalized culture are commodified, distorted, or taken out of context without permission or understanding. To avoid perpetuating harm, it is vital to listen to Indigenous voices, seek their guidance, and support initiatives led by the communities themselves. We must approach the exploration of Indigenous cultures with humility, acknowledging the historical and ongoing injustices faced by these communities. By cultivating a genuine respect for Indigenous knowledge and seeking permission to learn and share, we can ensure that our engagement is rooted in ethics, appreciation, and responsible cultural exchange.

Indigenous teachings inspire us to celebrate and honor cultural diversity. They remind us that every culture has its unique perspectives and contributions to offer. By cultivating cultural intelligence, we can develop a greater appreciation for all cultures, past and present. It is through this process of learning, unlearning, and relearning that we can forge a future built on respect, understanding, and collaboration

The Emergence of Phsychedlics into Western Culture and Psychology:
The early years of the psychedelic movement marked a pivotal period in Western culture and psychology. During this time, influential figures such as Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), and Aldous Huxley played significant roles in introducing psychedelics to a wider audience, advocating for their potential to expand consciousness, facilitate personal growth, and unlock spiritual insights. Their teachings and writings deeply influenced the counterculture movement of the 1960s, creating a fervent interest in psychedelics. Notable events, such as the psychedelic experiments at Harvard University led by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, sparked controversy and public debate, as they explored the therapeutic potential of these substances and paved the way for further scientific investigations.

Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, were instrumental in shaping the early psychedelic movement and its impact on Western culture and psychology. As Harvard psychologists, they conducted groundbreaking research on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, particularly LSD. Leary, known for his charismatic personality and provocative statements such as “turn on, tune in, drop out,” advocated for the use of psychedelics as a means to expand consciousness and challenge societal norms. Alpert, influenced by his experiences with psychedelics, underwent a transformative journey that led him to embrace Eastern spirituality and become a spiritual teacher and author. Their collaboration and subsequent expulsion from Harvard University due to their controversial research catapulted them into the public eye, making them influential figures in the psychedelic movement. Their work and teachings inspired countless individuals to explore the potential of psychedelics for personal growth, spiritual exploration, and alternative forms of therapy, leaving a lasting legacy on the cultural and psychological landscape.

Aldous Huxley, a renowned writer and philosopher, also explored the potential of psychedelics through his groundbreaking book “The Doors of Perception,” in which he detailed his personal experiences with mescaline. Huxley’s eloquent descriptions and philosophical reflections on altered states of consciousness captured the imagination of many, offering a unique perspective on the transformative nature of psychedelics.

Despite initial opposition and subsequent backlash due to concerns about recreational use and legal ramifications, the early psychedelic movement laid a solid foundation for future developments. Pioneering researchers like Stanislav Grof and Humphry Osmond expanded our understanding of psychedelics through their studies on the treatment of mental health conditions and addiction. Grof, a renowned psychiatrist, conducted extensive research on the therapeutic potential of LSD and developed the concept of psychedelic-assisted therapy. His groundbreaking studies explored the use of psychedelics in treating mental health conditions, such as trauma and addiction, and emphasized the importance of the therapeutic setting and supportive guidance during psychedelic experiences. Similarly, Humphry Osmond, a British psychiatrist, coined the term “psychedelic” and conducted research on the therapeutic applications of substances like mescaline and LSD. Osmond’s studies on alcohol addiction and his collaborations with Aldous Huxley contributed to the growing body of knowledge on psychedelics and their potential benefits in psychiatric treatment. Both Grof and Osmond’s pioneering work laid the foundation for further scientific investigations and helped shape the emergence of psychedelic-assisted therapies that are being explored today.

As the early psychedelic years unfolded, the influence of psychedelics on Western culture and psychology became increasingly evident. The historical exploration of this time provides valuable insights into the social, cultural, and scientific developments that shaped our current understandings around psychedelics. By acknowledging the pivotal figures and cultural shifts of this time, we can truly appreciate the enduring impact of the early psychedelic movement and its ongoing influence in modern psychology.
Past Meets Present:
In our pursuit of personal well-being, the convergence of spirituality, psychology, and physical health has emerged as a truly holistic approach. This integrated perspective recognizes the profound impact of spirituality on mental health and the intricate connection between mind, body, and spirit, promoting a comprehensive understanding of overall human well-being.

A key aspect of this integration is the recognition of the intersection between spirituality and psychology. The work of guest speaker Joe Tafur exemplifies this approach by exploring the potential of ancient healing practices and plant medicines, such as ayahuasca. Research suggests that the profound experiences facilitated by psychedelics may induce epigenetic changes, influencing gene expression and emotional processing. Tafur’s exploration of the therapeutic applications of substances like ayahuasca contributes to the broader dialogue surrounding their potential benefits.

The recognition of the role of the epigenome, a network of chemical markers regulating gene activity, adds depth to our understanding of well-being. While the specific effects of psychedelics on the epigenome are still being investigated, the transformative experiences provided by these substances may have implications for genetic expression and the release of negative markers associated with trauma or adverse experiences.

However, true holistic integration extends beyond the realms of spirituality and psychology to encompass physical health. The understanding that mind, body, and spirit are interconnected has led to the exploration of integrative medicine and the impact of lifestyle choices on overall well-being. Attention to physical health through nutrition, exercise, and self-care practices becomes an integral part of a comprehensive approach to personal growth and self-care. By nurturing spirituality, exploring psychological well-being with responsible guidance, and incorporating physical health practices, we foster holistic integration. This approach promotes emotional healing, overall well-being, and cultivates resilience, balance, and harmony in our lives.

In conclusion, the convergence of spirituality, psychology, and physical health forms the foundation of a truly holistic approach to well-being. By embracing these teachings and experiences, we acknowledge the potential of ancient wisdom to merge with modern medicine, initiating profound shifts in emotional processing and overall health. This integration allows us to navigate the complexities of the present while honoring the wisdom of the past, opening doors to new possibilities in various aspects of life.

Outlook:
The war on drugs has had a significant detrimental impact on communities worldwide. While the intention behind these policies was to reduce drug abuse and related crime, the approach has often resulted in unintended consequences, particularly in marginalized communities. The criminalization of drugs has disproportionately affected minority communities, leading to mass incarceration, strained familial relationships, and limited economic opportunities. Mandatory minimum sentences and harsh penalties have exacerbated these issues, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and systemic inequality.

One of the consequences of drug criminalization is the lack of safe access to drugs for individuals who may potentially benefit from them. By pushing drug use into the underground market, criminalization has created an environment where drug quality and safety are not regulated. This has led to increased risks of adulterated substances, overdose deaths, and the spread of disease. Additionally, the criminalization of drug use often discourages individuals from seeking help and treatment, as they fear legal repercussions or social stigma.

In recent years, there has been a growing movement towards the legalization of psychedelics, particularly for therapeutic and wellness purposes. Research has shown promising results regarding the potential benefits of psychedelics in treating mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, it is important to approach this movement with caution and avoid falling into the trap of psychedelics exceptionalism. While advocating for safe and regulated access to psychedelics, it is crucial to recognize that all drug use should be approached with a harm reduction mindset. Substance use choices should not result in lives being ruined or individuals being disproportionately punished. This necessitates shifting the focus from criminalization to a public health approach that emphasizes education, prevention, and access to evidence-based treatment options.

The ideal future involves a comprehensive drug policy that addresses the underlying social, economic, and health factors contributing to substance abuse. It should prioritize harm reduction, education, and rehabilitation rather than punitive measures. This approach acknowledges the complexities of drug use and seeks to mitigate the negative consequences while respecting individual autonomy and personal choices. By embracing a more compassionate and evidence-based approach, societies can work towards reducing the harms associated with drug use and fostering healthier and more equitable communities. By embracing a compassionate and evidence-based approach, we can strive towards a future that prioritizes well-being and social justice.

In Review:
In conclusion, embracing the convergence of spirituality, psychology, and physical health lays the foundation for holistic well-being. By acknowledging the profound impact of spirituality on mental health, exploring ancient healing practices, and nurturing physical well-being, we honor the wisdom of the past while navigating the complexities of the present.

However, our pursuit of holistic well-being must also extend to the realm of drug policy. The war on drugs has disproportionately affected marginalized communities, perpetuating systemic inequality and hindered access to safe and regulated substances. By shifting towards a public health approach that emphasizes harm reduction, education, and evidence-based treatment options, we can create a future that prioritizes compassion and addresses the underlying factors contributing to substance abuse. By embarking on this journey, we create a future where individuals and communities thrive.

Together, let us embark on this journey of integration, compassion, and transformation, as we forge a brighter and more harmonious path ahead. By recognizing the interconnectedness of our well-being and advocating for comprehensive change, we can create a world where holistic well-being is accessible to all.

Thanks brother. I'd keep adding here as the schooling goes on, but I have 6 more months and doubt many would come back to read it here past the results for the giveaway. So for that, I'll plan to make a general post so I can keep sharing as my schooling and KnowledgeBase grows. Thanks again!
This comprehensive post will take an in-depth look at the essential components of this resurging field, with a primary focus on client assessment and preparation, support systems, harm reduction, and the critical element of Set and Setting. Here, we will explore the overarching principles and concepts that lay the foundation for effective psychedelic facilitation. By mastering these elements, facilitators can contribute to creating a safer, more transformative, and spiritually enriching experience for their clients.

Assessment and Screening: Ensuring Suitability
Not everyone is suited for psychedelic therapy, making careful assessment and screening vital. Facilitators utilize various assessment tools to gather crucial information about a client’s mental and physical health, substance use history, and personal circumstances. These tools may include standardized questionnaires, interviews, and structured assessments.

Medical history plays a pivotal role in evaluating an individual’s suitability for psychedelic therapy. Psychedelic practitioners conduct comprehensive reviews, examining past surgeries, chronic illnesses, medications, and allergies. This meticulous examination helps identify potential risks or contraindications related to the use of psychedelics. Additionally, Mental health assessments are of paramount importance in determining a client’s readiness for psychedelic therapy. It’s important to delve into a client’s mental health history, including conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia and evaluate the severity, stability, and presence of active symptoms. Facilitators must possess a deep understanding of contraindications, which are factors that make the use of psychedelics unsafe or unadvisable for certain individuals.

Ethical considerations are the guiding principles throughout the assessment and screening process, emphasizing practitioner confidentiality and the duty to prioritize client well-being. In many cases, facilitators collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as psychiatrists and primary care physicians, to ensure comprehensive care that addresses both the client’s medical and mental health needs. This multidisciplinary approach enhances safety and effectiveness within psychedelic therapy. Ethical decision-making also involves considering whether the benefits of psychedelic therapy outweigh the risks for a particular individual.

It’s important to note that assessment and screening are not isolated events; they are ongoing processes. Client circumstances can evolve, and facilitators should regularly reevaluate suitability, particularly in light of any new developments in the client’s medical or mental health. These processes serve to safeguard the safety and well-being of clients while promoting the ethical and effective use of psychedelics within therapeutic contexts.

Client Preparation: Planting the Seeds of Transformation
Effective client preparation is a cornerstone of successful psychedelic therapy. It begins with the establishment of trust and rapport between the client and the facilitator. Building a strong therapeutic relationship based on active listening, empathy, and non-judgment provides a safe space for clients to share their thoughts and emotions openly. Client preparation is an ongoing endeavor that extends beyond a single session. Facilitators maintain contact with clients, offering guidance and support throughout the entire therapeutic process, both before and after the journey.

Setting clear and meaningful intentions is another crucial aspect of preparation. Intentions act as guiding principles for the psychedelic experience, focusing on desired outcomes, whether they involve personal growth, healing, self-discovery, or addressing specific challenges. Managing expectations is essential to ensure clients have a realistic understanding of the potential range of experiences during a journey. Providing clients with accurate information about the substance, its effects, and logistical details is vital. This ensures that clients are well-informed and confident in their journey. Facilitators openly discuss the possible moments of profound insight, bliss, discomfort, or emotional release. This helps clients approach the experience with resilience and adaptability.

Preparing clients mentally and emotionally involves exploring their fears, anxieties, and hopes related to the journey. Facilitators equip clients with tools to manage challenging emotions that may arise, emphasizing that these emotions are a natural part of the process. In the face of potentially intense psychedelic experiences, clients benefit from developing inner resources. Practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and breathwork help cultivate emotional regulation and self-awareness, serving as anchors during moments of intensity.
Family Matters: Family and Peer inclusive Models
While the focus of psychedelic therapy often centers around the client and the facilitator, it’s crucial to recognize the significant role that family and personal support systems play in the journey towards healing and self-discovery. As discussed in a prior post, the inclusion of these support networks is not only beneficial but often necessary to ensure the best possible outcomes in psychedelic facilitation.

In the process of client preparation, facilitators may actively involve the client’s closest family and/or friends, if appropriate and with the client’s consent. This involvement can take various forms, including informational sessions, where loved ones are educated about the therapeutic process, the substance being used, and the potential outcomes. By providing these support networks with a clear understanding of what the client will be experiencing, they can offer more informed and empathetic support throughout the journey.

Psychedelic journeys often lead to profound insights and personal revelations that can lead to moments of deep connection, or even disruption in ones personal life and environment. Family and close friends can play a critical role in the integration process by offering a safe space for the client to share their experiences, thoughts, and emotions. Facilitators should encourage clients to involve their support systems in integration sessions or discussions, allowing them to better understand the changes the client may be undergoing. Furthermore, family and friends can provide ongoing support in the weeks and months following the psychedelic experience. They can help the client implement the lessons learned and offer a sense of accountability as the client works towards their therapeutic goals. Facilitators should guide clients in communicating their needs and boundaries to their support networks to ensure a harmonious post-journey environment.

In some cases, the inclusion of family and personal support systems may extend to cultural or spiritual practices. For clients with specific cultural or spiritual beliefs, involving family members who share these beliefs can enhance the sense of connection and continuity between the psychedelic experience and their broader worldview. Facilitators should be open to exploring and respecting these aspects of a client’s identity.

The journey into psychedelic therapy is not a solitary one; it involves the collective effort of the client, the facilitator, and the client’s family and personal support systems. By actively including and educating these networks, fostering open communication, and recognizing their essential roles in the healing process, we can create a more holistic and supportive framework for transformative experiences in the realm of psychedelic therapy. With compassion and collaboration, we can help individuals embark on journeys towards healing, growth, and self-discovery that extend beyond the individual to encompass their broader support system.

Harm Reduction: Ensuring Safety in Psychedelic Therapy
In the realm of psychedelic therapy, the paramount concern is the safety and well-being of clients. Harm reduction strategies form the bedrock of this approach, diligently designed to preempt potential risks and establish a secure environment for the exploration of inner landscapes. Central to harm reduction is the concept of informed consent, where facilitators engage in comprehensive discussions with clients to ensure they grasp the nature of the psychedelic experience, its potential hazards, benefits, and alternatives. Before embarking on their journey, clients provide explicit consent, and the process extends to encompass discussions regarding the legal status of psychedelics and any potential legal ramifications.

Precise dosage control is an essential facet of harm reduction. Facilitators collaborate with clients to determine appropriate dosage levels, taking into account individual factors like body weight, prior experiences, and desired outcomes. Often, especially for less experienced clients, initiating with lower doses is advised to manage the experience more safely.

The presence of a trained sitter or guide during a psychedelic session is a cornerstone of harm reduction. These experienced individuals offer emotional support and guidance throughout the journey, assisting clients in navigating challenging moments, ensuring physical safety, and providing a comforting presence that bolsters the client’s sense of security. In the pursuit of harm reduction, facilitators meticulously assess the physical health of clients to rule out any medical conditions or contraindications that may render the use of psychedelics unsafe. Vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate are often monitored, especially for clients with underlying medical conditions who may require medical clearance.

Emotional support is of paramount importance throughout the psychedelic journey. Facilitators prepare clients for the emotional intensity they may encounter and arm them with tools for managing challenging emotions. Clients are encouraged to surrender to the experience and place trust in the process, buoyed by the knowledge that they have a dependable support network. Facilitators also educate clients about potential risks, such as the potential for intense fear or anxiety during the journey. Clients acquire strategies for managing these states, including techniques like deep breathing, grounding exercises, and the redirection of focus toward positive intentions. These exercises help clients establish a sense of safety and stability, which proves invaluable in navigating the sometimes turbulent waters of the psychedelic experience.

Creating the Optimal Set and Setting
In the realm of psychedelic therapy, the interplay of “set” (one’s mindset) and “setting” (the physical environment) is of paramount importance. Facilitators understand that these elements profoundly influence the quality and therapeutic potential of the psychedelic journey.

Set (Mindset): Facilitators encourage clients to cultivate a positive and open mindset as they approach the psychedelic experience. This involves helping clients set clear intentions, addressing any apprehensions or fears, and fostering an attitude of curiosity and acceptance. By guiding clients to enter the journey with a receptive and purposeful mindset, facilitators lay the foundation for a transformative experience.
Setting (Environment): The physical environment in which the journey takes place is carefully considered. Facilitators select or design spaces that prioritize comfort, safety, and aesthetics. Lighting is chosen to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, with ambient options preferred over harsh brightness. Auditory elements, such as ambient music or sounds of nature, are thoughtfully curated to enhance the sensory aspects of the experience. Clients are encouraged to bring personal items that provide comfort and security, further grounding them in the setting.
In summary, optimizing set and setting in psychedelic therapy involves creating a supportive and aesthetically pleasing physical environment, guiding clients in shaping their mental state and maintaining adaptability to meet each client’s individual needs. This holistic approach enhances the therapeutic potential of the journey and fosters a profound and transformative experience while ensuring the client’s well-being.

Conclusion
This journey into the realm of psychedelic therapy has illuminated the intricate and multifaceted nature of this field. As we’ve explored, careful assessment and screening ensure that psychedelic therapy is a suitable path for each individual, prioritizing their safety and well-being. The process of client preparation serves as a vital foundation, nurturing trust, setting intentions, and arming clients with the emotional tools they need for their transformative journey.

Harm reduction strategies provide a safety net throughout the psychedelic experience, from informed consent to precise dosage control, the presence of experienced guides, and emotional support that empowers clients to navigate the profound and sometimes challenging inner landscapes they encounter. However, we must also acknowledge the significant role of family and personal support systems in this transformative journey. The inclusion of these networks enhances the overall therapeutic process, providing additional layers of emotional support and continuity beyond the individual experience. Moreover, the critical role of “set” and “setting” cannot be overstated. Facilitators shape the mindset of clients, encouraging openness and purposefulness, while also curating physical environments that are not only safe and comfortable but also aesthetically inviting.

In this ever-evolving field, the pursuit of knowledge and best practices continues. Facilitators and practitioners strive to optimize the therapeutic potential of psychedelics with compassion, care, and a commitment to ethical practice. Together, we can help individuals embark on transformative journeys toward healing, growth, and self-discovery in the realm of psychedelic therapy, bolstered by a robust support network that extends far beyond the individual experience.
MY JOURNEY WITH PSYCHEDELICS

A Psychedelic Journey of Wonder and Discovery

I've always been curious, wanting to understand life's big questions and the secrets of the universe. One day, I heard about psychedelics, like LSD, and how they can open up your mind to a whole new world. People talked about crazy trips with vibrant colors and feeling super connected to everything. I thought, "Wow, that sounds wild!"

With my adventurous spirit, I decided to give it a try. I mean, why not? I gathered some close friends who were also curious, and we tried it together. That first trip was a rollercoaster! Colors were jumping around, and everything felt so alive! Time didn't seem to matter at all. It was like I was in a dream world, exploring my deepest thoughts and emotions. I faced some fears and looked back at my past. It was intense, but I learned that being vulnerable and letting go of control wasn't a bad thing. It was freeing! After that, psychedelics became my teachers. They taught me to appreciate the present, see beauty in everything, and embrace the unknown. Life felt like a canvas, and I became the painter, creating art with every moment. These trips took me on a journey of self-discovery. I met versions of myself I never knew existed—creative, insightful, and full of potential. It was like a cosmic adventure right inside my mind! And it didn't stop there. I felt more connected to the world around me, like we were all part of this big, beautiful dance. I found my tribe, a bunch of fellow explorers seeking meaning and connection.

Looking ahead, I can't wait for the future! I want to keep exploring and sharing this magic with others. I'll be the guide, showing people through these mind-bending trips so they can uncover their own hidden gems. It's not always easy, but it's worth it. I'm ready to embrace the unknown, delve deeper into the therapeutic side of psychedelics, and break down the stigma around them. I want everyone to know these trips can be more than just a crazy ride—they can be life-changing!

So, that's my story, and I'm just getting started. Life's a trip, man, and I'm ready to dance through it with open arms and a heart full of wonder!

I'm very fortunate to already be writing on these topics on a near daily basis. This opportunity couldn't be more serendipitously appropriate for sharing some of my efforts. What follows is some of the ways I've incorporated the use of psychedelics into my personal life along with practical evidence to help explain the science behind the mystical experience. Thanks to all who may read my story here. 🙏

MEDICAL BENEFITS OF LSD (and other psychedelics)

Weekly Microdosing for Well-being and Mindfulness:
One facet of the medically beneficial use of psychedelics involves microdosing, a practice gaining popularity for enhancing well-being and mindfulness. Scientifically, microdosing of substances like psilocybin and LSD has been associated with neuroplasticity, promoting the growth and rewiring of neural connections. This phenomenon fosters cognitive flexibility and emotional resilience, translating to heightened creativity, improved mood, and increased mindfulness. Serotonin receptor activation, coupled with potential neurogenesis, is thought to contribute to these positive outcomes, providing individuals with a non-disruptive method to integrate the benefits of psychedelics into daily life.

Legally Prescribed Ketamine Treatment for Anxiety:
Ketamine, once known primarily as an anesthetic, has emerged as a legally prescribed treatment for anxiety disorders. Scientifically, ketamine therapy targets the glutamate system in the brain, resulting in rapid relief of symptoms of anxiety and depression. This effect is attributed to its modulation of synaptic plasticity and mood-regulating neurotransmission. Ketamine's ability to enhance synaptic connectivity in specific brain regions further supports its efficacy in combating anxiety. This innovative approach has unveiled new possibilities for managing anxiety in individuals who have experienced resistance to conventional therapies, offering tangible improvements in their quality of life.

Occasional Medicinal Journeys for Trauma Healing and Personal Development:
Beyond microdosing and ketamine treatment, occasional larger psychedelic experiences can play a pivotal role in addressing deeper traumas and fostering personal development. Under the guidance of trained professionals, substances like LSD, MDMA, psilocybin, and ayahuasca offer scientifically supported benefits. By temporarily suppressing the activity of the Default Mode Network (DMN), these substances allow individuals to confront traumatic memories from a different perspective. Serotonergic modulation and intense emotional experiences during these journeys contribute to emotional release and processing of deeply rooted traumas. In turn, this can lead to catharsis, emotional healing, and reframing of one's personal narrative.

Epigenetic Improvements and Beyond:
Recent research has suggested that psychedelic experiences might lead to epigenetic changes, altering gene expression patterns associated with stress response and emotional regulation. These epigenetic changes could potentially contribute to long-lasting therapeutic effects. Additionally, these modalities offer opportunities for profound self-reflection, fostering personal growth, enhancing self-awareness, and promoting an overall sense of well-being.

Conclusion:
The utilization of psychedelics for medical purposes has evolved into a promising avenue for holistic well-being, anxiety management, trauma healing, personal growth, and even potential epigenetic improvements. The intersection of scientific understanding and careful integration into established therapeutic frameworks is reshaping mental health treatment. As research continues, these modalities may provide a more comprehensive approach to addressing psychological and emotional challenges, ultimately paving the way for a more nuanced and effective approach to overall health and personal development.

My craziest trip ever

Author's note:
This tale has been long awaited, and thus, deserving of its depth and leght.
Dear readers, please immerse yourself in the Mystic Tale from the Psychedelic Kaleidoscope
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1/6

Chapter 1: The Cosmic Prelude

In the realm of whispered secrets and hidden doorways, two daring protagonists stood on the precipice of an extraordinary journey. Armed with two tabs each, they ventured into the unknown territories of consciousness. This was not just any trip - it was a symphony of senses, a kaleidoscope of colors waiting to unfold. Little did they know that this voyage would redefine their perception of reality.
It was a first, an exploration of the mind's uncharted territories. The protagonist had meticulously ordered the substance from the enigmatic realm known as the Dark Web, a realm shrouded in intrigue. Advertised as 100 micrograms, a tantalizing promise of altered perception and vivid experience beckoned.
With a mix of excitement and apprehension, they placed the alluring tabs beneath their tongue, hoping that this moment would set in motion a cascade of sensations and visions. A cosmic curtain lifted, revealing a landscape where the ordinary intertwined with the extraordinary, and the mundane merged with the miraculous.

Chapter 2: The Sanctuary of Dreams

In the heart of a secluded woodland, where nature's serenity embraced the distant echoes of civilization, a cottage stood as a sanctuary from the mundane world. Tucked away amidst towering trees and a symphony of rustling leaves, it became the stage for an unforgettable chapter in the lives of two intrepid souls. This tale unfolds in the company of two friends, their spirits fueled by curiosity and the daring desire to pierce the veil of reality.
Our protagonists, seekers of experiences and a dreamers of the extraordinary, embarked on this journey hand-in-hand with a kindred spirit. This friend, with an aura of mystique and a shared longing for adventure, was a stranger to the allure of altered states. Their previous rendezvous with LSD had been an ephemeral dance with disappointment, as inert tabs failed to conjure the magic they sought. This time, bolstered by an unwavering resolve, they stood at the cusp of a new venture, determined to grasp the enigmatic allure of acid and uncharted consciousness.
The cottage, a place where laughter echoed in harmony with the whispers of the wind. Their camaraderie, deepened through shared anticipation, promised a night of revelations, for they had no inkling of the tempest of experiences that awaited them. In the nexus of their friendship, the cottage bore witness to their hopes, their fears, and the unfurling tapestry of their minds under the influence of the psychedelic elixir.
In the following narrative, you shall witness the kaleidoscope of emotions, the spectrum of hallucinations, and the crescendo of events that unraveled within the walls of this remote haven. Together, we delve into the minds of these adventurers, tracing their footsteps through the vivid corridors of their consciousness, and embracing the intricate mosaic of their perceptions. So, dear reader, fasten your seatbelt and prepare to traverse the realms of altered reality alongside our intrepid duo, as they unlock the doors to the boundless realm of the mind.
As we commenced our culinary endeavor, laughter erupted like bubbles in a fizzy drink, blending harmoniously with the burgeoning magic of our impending journey. Giggles skipped from our lips, and the vegetables we chopped unfurled a vibrant mosaic of colors that painted our senses with awe. A shared grin passed between us, a silent agreement that something extraordinary was about to unfold.
"Get ready for an amazing adventure," I exclaimed, casting a knowing glance at my buddy. He playfully countered that we had already peaked, chuckling at the subtle visual dance that had begun. Little did we suspect, the real spectacle had only just begun, a tantalizing display poised to whisk us away.

Chapter 3: The Cosmic Dance Begins

As the sun dipped below the horizon, we embarked on a whimsical stroll through the realm of trees. Once ordinary sentinels now stood adorned in a vivid tapestry, their leaves swaying in a rhythm only perceptible to our newly heightened senses. Reality itself seemed to ripple and shift, a veil between the ordinary and the extraordinary thinning.
In the midst of our journey, we paused to fashion a cigarette, an everyday task now a whimsical challenge. The paper slipped through my fingers like a playful sprite, and the tobacco danced in an impish jig. Our laughter, like a chorus of mischievous spirits, echoed through the woods as we surrendered to the delightfully baffling choreography of this altered state.
In perfect synchrony, my companion and I reached a unanimous decision – it was time to retreat to the sanctuary of our cottage. Laughter guided us, an invisible thread leading us back through the enchanting woods. The world around us seemed to pulsate with a vibrant energy, every rustle of leaves and hushed whisper of the wind a part of the symphony.
As we crossed the threshold of the cottage, a sense of refuge enveloped us. The walls, adorned with shadows that danced like friendly phantoms, welcomed us home. The air within bore the scent of adventure and mirth, a heady concoction that seemed to infuse the very atmosphere with magic.
We settled into the heart of our haven, a haven that was now awash in the soft glow of lamplight. The ordinary had taken on an extraordinary quality – the furniture, the rugs, even the knick-knacks on the shelves, each possessed an aura of mystique. It was as if we had stumbled into an otherworldly museum, a treasure trove of curiosities waiting to be explored.
As we reclined on a well-loved sofa, a sense of wonderment swept over us. The journey was already proving to be a panorama of emotions and experiences, a ride that promised to take us to the farthest reaches of our minds. And so, we, two intrepid explorers, were ready to waltz once more with the cosmic kaleidoscope.
As the effects deepened their embrace, my friend and I settled outside the cottage, smoke curling skyward from our lips. The world before us was a mesmerizing blur, a canvas of colors and shapes that danced like playful specters. Unbeknownst to us, a group of people ambled by, mere meters away, their forms blending into a crimson haze. One figure, adorned in red, captured my attention, a fleeting enigma in a sea of abstraction.
In a heartbeat, my friend dashed indoors, vanishing like a wisp of smoke, his caution ignited by the sudden intrusion of the ordinary world. Meanwhile, the kaleidoscope within me spun faster, reality slipping through my fingers like sand.
The cottage's interior had transformed into a labyrinth, a tapestry of shifting shadows and amorphous silhouettes. Each step was a gamble, an unpredictable dance with the unseen. I stumbled and fumbled, a cosmic traveler caught in a whirlwind of sensory ecstasy.
Desiring a moment of sonic sanctuary, I cocooned myself in my own world. Psytrance melodies swirled around me, a portal into a dimension where sound and sensation merged into an ecstatic tapestry. My friend, though, was ensnared by the silence he yearned for, my musical reverie becoming an unintended dissonance.

Chapter 4: Echoes of Eternity

Blissfully unaware of his growing unease, I waded further into the current of my psychedelic reverie. My mind, a playground of cosmic possibilities, held no space for the intricate web of human emotions my friend was navigating. My focus on the symphony of sensations left me oblivious to the growing storm in his mind.
In a spontaneous burst of inspiration, I decided to change into more comfortable attire, a simple act that triggered a cascade of unforeseen events. The sudden shift nudged my friend's patience to its limits, his own internal dance intertwining with the chaos of my trip. As I stood stripped down to my underwear, he ushered me outside, locking the doors between us, his frustration a palpable force in the air.
Conversations through the cottage doors became a lifeline, our words a bridge connecting our altered minds. After a few heartbeats in the cosmic chill, my friend's empathy reclaimed him. He swung the doors open, like a guardian of connection, offering sanctuary once more. The cosmic ballet had taken an unexpected turn, revealing the intricate interplay of human emotions and the boundless expanse of consciousness.
As the surreal symphony continued its melodious dance, my friend and I attempted to settle into a semblance of tranquility. However, an unforeseen twist in the cosmic script began to unfold. My companion found himself ensnared in a peculiar loop, a mesmerizing tango with routine actions that seemed to twist and contort into patterns that defied explanation. He locked and unlocked the front doors, scrutinized the windows with unwavering intensity, a ritual of protection with no discernible origin. Even as he acknowledged the absurdity of this repetition, he remained trapped in its relentless cycle.
I, captivated by my own kaleidoscopic reverie, failed to notice the rapid descent into this loop of uncertainty that had ensnared my friend. The intricate machinery of his mind was caught in a whirlpool, spiraling into patterns beyond his control, a dance of reason and chaos.
After a period of unease, my friend embarked on an endeavor to break free from the looping spiral. He resolved to seek solace in the realm of sleep, despite my gentle dissuasion. The other room, a haven of rest, beckoned. It was the room adjacent to the entrance, just a door away from where I remained, and held within its walls the promise of respite from the swirling currents of his mind.
Meanwhile, I remained in the main room, tending to the warmth of the crackling fireplace and surrendering myself to the embrace of the music that flowed through my headphones. The symphony of sound painted the walls with vibrant hues, the flames danced to the rhythm, and I became one with the essence of the moment.
Unbeknownst to me, my friend had embarked on his own quest for tranquility. The room next door became his refuge, a realm where he hoped to find refuge from the relentless loop that had ensnared him. Little did I suspect that this shift in our trajectories would weave the threads of our experiences together in an unforeseen climax. The night was far from over, and the tapestry of our adventure was about to take yet another enigmatic turn.

Chapter 5: Unveiling the Mind's Canvas

In the midst of this mesmerizing journey, the hands of time lost their grip, and I surrendered to the timeless embrace of the universe and the siren call of the music, each note a brushstroke painting the canvas of my consciousness. With eyes gently shut, a vivid kaleidoscope unfurled. It was as though I had stumbled into a whimsical carnival, a phantasmagoric spectacle where reality and fantasy danced in a harmonious embrace.
The colors splashed across my mind's eye with the vibrancy of an artist's palette, forming a living tapestry that pulsed and shimmered. Playful characters emerged from the shadows, their movements a symphony of acrobatics and jests.
Simultaneously, my open eyes were greeted by a mesmerizing spectacle that defied the laws of reality. The visuals extended beyond mere shapes and warping, intertwining with the melodies that flowed through my ears. The music was the artist, and my consciousness the canvas upon which it painted its masterpieces. In one exhilarating moment, the music morphed into a primal rhythm, invoking images of ancient predators prowling through the jungle. I watched in awe as jagged, pointy scales emerged from my skin, reminiscent of the armor of ancient creatures. Even the hair on my arms succumbed to the enchantment, dancing to the rhythm like playful fireflies in a moonlit sky.
During one fleeting moment, as I changed songs on my phone, time seemed to dilate, and my gaze fixated on my wallpaper. It was a vibrant masterpiece of shapes and lines, a portal into a realm where geometry and color were interwoven in a cosmic embrace. The image transformed before my eyes, stretching into an infinitely deep abyss, like a window into an alternate reality.
Yet amidst this symphony of enchantment, a tremor of unease began to ripple through me. Alone in the room, my friend seeking solace in slumber in the adjacent space, a subtle feeling of disquiet settled over me like a shroud. The tranquility of the moment was punctuated by a yearning for connection, a yearning to bridge the distance between our altered states.
As the carnival of sensations continued its intoxicating waltz, I found myself navigating the labyrinth of my own thoughts and emotions. The walls of the cottage held secrets, the music whispered enigmas, and the passage of time became an elusive wisp in the cosmic wind. It was a dance between bliss and uncertainty, a tapestry woven with threads of wonder, beauty, and the fragility of human experience.
Part 3/6

Chapter 6: Echoes of Concern

With the symphony of colors and sensations swirling around me, I decided to reach out to another pocket of my reality – my dear friend group. A spark of excitement ignited within me as I dialed their number, knowing that they were on the brink of their own adventure. They were en route to a distant destination, a beacon of familiarity in this kaleidoscopic realm.
Their voices echoed through the receiver, a lifeline connecting my altered mind to the world beyond. We chatted, laughter intermingling with the whispers of the universe that surrounded me. Their questions came like gentle waves, curious tendrils extending into my reality. How was the journey, they inquired. I responded, a wry smile tugging at my lips, that it was a profound and intense experience, one that I was navigating with a steady hand.
As our conversation wove a tapestry of shared moments and laughter, they voiced their concern. "How is your friend holding up?" they inquired, their words a gentle reminder of a presence that had been temporarily forgotten. I chuckled, assuring them that my companion was resting in the room next door, his slumber an anchor in this sea of wonder.
They offered a different perspective, a suggestion that tugged at the edge of my consciousness. "Perhaps he's ventured into the night," they mused, their words like tendrils of doubt that teased my thoughts. But I dismissed the notion, laughter bubbling forth as I assured them that my friend remained within the cottage's comforting embrace. "Trust me," I quipped, "he's here, and if he left, I would have known."
The call continued, a bridge between the realms of the familiar and the extraordinary. Their voices were a lifeline that kept me tethered to reality, a reminder that beyond the pulsating colors and dancing forms, there existed a world of shared experiences and enduring connections. As the call drew to a close, I felt a renewed sense of purpose, a determination to navigate the enigmatic night with both confidence and companionship.
Little did I realize, this conversation had seeded a doubt, a seed of curiosity that would soon blossom into a breathtaking revelation. The universe had whispered a question, a gentle nudge to explore the boundaries of perception, and the answer lay just a door away. The night was still young, and the cosmic stage was set for a climactic twist in the tale.

Chapter 7: Dance of Shadows

As time continued its ethereal dance, I found myself nestled upon a couch, a mere speck in the grand tapestry of existence. The melodies of music cascaded around me like a shimmering waterfall, a serenade that painted the air with hues of sound. My fingers danced as I tended to the fireplace, adding wood to the flames that flickered and swayed, casting their warm embrace upon the room.
And then, in an instant of perfect stillness, my gaze fixed upon the fireplace, drawn to the interplay of heat and light. The glass that guarded the inferno became a canvas upon which the fire's magic unveiled itself. The flames writhed and twirled, their dance a mesmerizing symphony of reds, oranges, and golds. The patterns they weaved were a cosmic ballet, a testament to the primal beauty of the elements.
Amidst this hypnotic display, a shadow emerged, a figure that defied the boundaries of reality. It was the silhouette of a girl, adorned in a flowing dress, her features a tapestry of darkness. There were no eyes to meet, no lips to curve into a smile – only an enigmatic figure that danced with grace and subtlety. Her movements were a delicate waltz, a dance of shadow that cast ripples upon the room.
I watched in awe as the shadow girl, like a spectral sylph, pirouetted across the expanse. Her form flowed like ink across parchment, her movements a haunting melody that resonated with the very soul of the universe. Every step left behind a whisper of ephemeral beauty, a testament to the delicate nature of existence itself.
With each ethereal movement, the shadow girl began to transform, her silhouette dissolving into tendrils of inky darkness that wove into the fabric of the night. The room seemed to hold its breath as she flowed toward the fireplace, her essence merging with the flames that danced with renewed vigor. The glass became a portal, a window into a realm where shadow and light danced in harmony, a realm that beckoned with the promise of mystery and wonder.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow girl merged with the flames, her form becoming a part of the ever-shifting tapestry. The fireplace, once a vessel of warmth, now bore the imprint of her dance, a testament to the ephemeral beauty that had graced this sacred space. The room, bathed in the glow of firelight, held a sense of reverence, a silent acknowledgment of the beauty that had briefly illuminated the night.
This encounter, this dance between shadow and light, left an indelible mark upon my soul. It was a moment of transcendence, a glimpse into the interplay of worlds beyond our understanding. And as the echoes of her dance faded into the embers, I was left with a profound sense of gratitude, a reminder that even in the midst of a cosmic voyage, the universe has the power to unveil moments of exquisite beauty and emotion.

Chapter 8: Guardian of the Ember

While grappling with this enigmatic journey, as I continued to tend to the fireplace's hungry flames, a shadowy specter of the mind emerged from the depths of my consciousness. With each addition of wood, the fire roared to life, casting a dance of light and shadows upon the room. As I gazed upwards, lost in the fiery reverie, a sensation prickled at the edge of my perception.
A face, elusive and ethereal, materialized at the corner of my vision. It was as if a fragment of another world had intersected with my own. The features were indistinct, a play of light and shade that hinted at an enigmatic presence. A shiver cascaded down my spine as an unexpected chill swept through the room.
Startled, I blinked, my heart racing like the hoofbeats of a wild stallion. When my eyes focused anew, the face had vanished, leaving only the echo of its presence. Doubt gnawed at the edges of my mind, was it a trick of the psyche, a fleeting mirage conjured by the dance of flames and the symphony of music that enveloped me?
With a cautious glance, I peered once more, my eyes tracing the contours of the room with a newfound intensity. And there, behind the wall's embrace, a void of emptiness greeted me. The apparition had dissolved, leaving behind only an uncanny stillness.
The night was alive with mystery, and with every heartbeat, I felt a deeper resonance with the enigmatic currents that pulsed through the fabric of existence. And with time, the truth would unveil itself – the face I had glimpsed, a phantom in the periphery, would reveal its identity, intertwining our narratives in a dance of cosmic synchronicity.
Part 4/6

Chapter 9: Reunion of Bonds

As time unfurled its tapestry, I found myself reclined upon the couch, a serene island amidst the swirling currents of perception. The symphony of colors and shapes continued to dance before me, a kaleidoscope that painted the air with vibrancy. The music, like an old friend, enveloped me in its embrace, each note a brushstroke in the masterpiece of the moment.
The peak of the journey had receded, leaving behind a more lucid terrain. My mind, once a chaotic carnival, now resembled a calm sea after a tempest. The haze of intensity had lifted, replaced by a newfound clarity that offered glimpses into the heart of the cosmos. I sat in contemplation, savoring the echoes of the cosmic ballet that had swept me away.
The visuals, however, remained a mesmerizing tapestry, their vivid threads weaving a narrative of awe and wonder. They cascaded and intertwined, painting the room with shapes that seemed to breathe and dance with a life of their own. The boundaries between the tangible and the ethereal blurred, and I reveled in the splendor of this visual symphony.
Once again, I dialed the number that connected me to my friends, their voices a lifeline that reached across the expanse of space and time. They informed me that their path was ensnared by the hands of tardiness, a circumstance that rendered a physical rendezvous impossible. Their words were laced with concern, their questions echoing like distant chimes, a gentle reminder of a presence that remained a room away.
With a lighthearted chuckle, I dismissed their worries, my desire to preserve my friend's rest outweighing any curiosity that beckoned me to explore. The desire to nurture the sanctuary of his reprieve outweighed the intrigue that tugged at the corners of my consciousness.
After our conversation concluded, I settled back into the couch, the fabric a cocoon that cradled my thoughts and sensations. The melodies continued their enchanting dance, and my mind wandered through the landscape of the cosmos, traversing realms of introspection and wonder. The room held an air of serenity, a refuge within which I could bask in the gentle aftermath of the storm.
In the embrace of the present, I felt a tranquil harmony with the universe, a sense that every fleeting moment was a brushstroke in the grand mural of existence. As the visuals continued to paint the world in hues of surreal beauty, I surrendered to the ebb and flow of the cosmic tide, knowing that even amidst the strangest of journeys, there existed a thread of connection that bound us all.
Time lost its grip on my senses once again. The music became a river of sound, guiding me into a realm where reality itself seemed to unfurl like an intricate tapestry behind my closed eyelids. Shapes morphed and merged, colors pulsed with an otherworldly rhythm, and I watched as an entirely new reality painted itself upon the canvas of my mind.
In this altered state, a thought emerged – a familiar invitation to dance with yet another facet of altered consciousness. I reached for my backpack, its contents a trove of earthly delights waiting to be unveiled. My fingers moved with a dreamlike grace, pulling the treasures from their chest. Yet, as I sought to roll a joint, a peculiar challenge revealed itself. My dexterity, once a trusty ally, now eluded me, and the task remained unfinished, suspended like a forgotten melody.

Chapter 10: Knocking from Unseen Realms

Amidst this dance of intention and obstacles, a sound pierced the veil of my sonic sanctuary – knock knock. A gentle tapping that roused my attention, only to be brushed aside like a fleeting whisper. But the cosmos persisted, delivering another percussive message – knock knock. My headphones found solace around my neck as I listened, a veil of uncertainty descending upon the room.
A third knock, more insistent, echoed like a drumbeat of urgency. The words "police, open up" reverberated through the air, a declaration that tore through the fabric of my altered reality. My thoughts scrambled like startled birds, flitting between possibilities, each more bewildering than the last. Was it a cosmic jest, a prank orchestrated by my friends? But that voice, stern and authoritative, was like a thunderclap, a reminder of the world beyond my psychedelic sanctuary.
As if suspended in a time warp, I hesitated. Doubt gnawed at my thoughts like a persistent raven, perched on the precipice of my consciousness. Could this be real? Could it truly be the embodiment of authority that stood on the other side of the door, or was it a mirage conjured by the psychedelic dance of my mind?
The room, once a haven of cosmic wonder, transformed into a chamber of uncertainty. The air felt heavy, a tapestry woven with threads of anxiety and intrigue. The seconds seemed to stretch into eternity as I grappled with a choice that held implications beyond my altered perception.
With a deep breath, I gathered the fragments of my resolve. A world of possibilities spun like a cosmic roulette wheel, each outcome an unknown destination. Yet, I knew that in this moment, the story took an unexpected twist, a turn into a reality that was simultaneously mundane and surreal.
And so, with the weight of uncertainty pressing upon my shoulders, I approached the threshold, ready to confront the enigma that awaited beyond the door. The journey, it seemed, had veered onto a new path, a path that would reveal layers of truth and mystery, each more intricate than the last.
Summoning every ounce of courage that remained within me, I approached the door, fingers trembling as they wrapped around the doorknob. With a slow, deliberate turn, the threshold between my altered sanctuary and the world outside swung open, revealing a tableau that defied the logic of my altered state.
Part 5/6

[/b]Chapter 11: Intrusion of Authority[/b]
Before me stood two figures, their uniforms a stark contrast to the swirling kaleidoscope of colors that had painted my reality. Their voices, firm yet measured, cut through the silence, their words enigmatic and unsettling. "Are you truepotatosalad?" they inquired, a question that echoed like a chime of uncertainty.
A cascade of thoughts tumbled through my mind, like a waterfall of confusion. How did they know my name? I had no association with this cottage beyond the boundaries of this night. The world spun around me like a dizzying carousel, each revelation propelling me deeper into a maze of intrigue.
Their questions, a mix of words that blurred together, revolved around the cottage, its inhabitants, and my presence within its walls. Time seemed to fold and stretch, memories like fragments of a dream slipping through my grasp. And then, a pivot – an unspoken request, a gesture that conveyed an intention more than an inquiry. The officers, with an air of matter-of-factness, began to traverse the threshold, a journey that would lead them from the mundane into the tapestry of my altered reality.
In the midst of this surreal encounter, a thought emerged like a beacon in the night – a way to navigate the enigma that had materialized before me. Gathering my thoughts and summoning my intentions, I turned to the officers with a mixture of determination and trepidation. "I can get Ethan Balls, you should talk to him, this is his place" I stated, my voice a whisper of resolution amidst the whirlwind of uncertainty.
Their eyes bore into me, their gaze unwavering, as if they were peering into the labyrinth of my mind. "Ethan Balls?" one of them repeated, their tone a curious blend of intrigue and skepticism. "He's definitely not here," they added, a revelation that pierced through the veil of my altered perception like a bolt of lightning.
A rollercoaster of emotions cascaded through my being – confusion, disbelief, and a gnawing sense of uncertainty that gnawed at the edges of my consciousness. "What do you mean?" I stammered, my words a fragile thread that clung to the tapestry of reality. An urgency propelled me forward, and I rushed to the bedroom door that stood sentinel next to me.
As I swung the door open, a wave of horror crashed over me, a tidal force that left me reeling in its wake. The room, once a haven of rest, was now empty, void of the presence that should have been there. My friend, my companion on this odyssey, was gone, leaving behind an emptiness that echoed like a haunting refrain.
My heart, heavy with a sense of loss and bewilderment, sank into the depths of my being. Panic clawed at the edges of my consciousness, its grip tightening with every passing second. What had transpired in the moments that had slipped through my grasp? The threads of reality seemed to fray, leaving me suspended in a realm where the tapestry of my journey unraveled before my eyes.
In this harrowing moment, I stood at the precipice of the unknown, the boundaries of my understanding shattered like glass. The journey, once a dance of cosmic wonder, had spiraled into a realm of uncertainty, a narrative that defied the logic of both the mundane and the altered. And as I grappled with the weight of this revelation, the world around me seemed to teeter on the edge of chaos, a symphony of emotions and questions that surged like a tempest within my soul.
As the officers entered the room, a palpable shift in the atmosphere enveloped us. The boundaries of my sanctuary seemed to blur, as if the room itself was a canvas upon which reality and perception intertwined. With a resigned acceptance, I watched as they traversed the space, their presence a stark reminder that the mundane and the surreal could coexist.
Their eyes swept across the room, tracing the scattered fragments of my intentions strewn across the couch. A knowing glance passed between them, a silent acknowledgment of the altered state that had woven itself into the fabric of this encounter. Their attention shifted to the table, where the weed lay like a relic from another realm. And then, a declaration, firm yet oddly reassuring, "We don't care about the weed. Just pack it up and hide it."
A wave of relief washed over me, a reprieve from the apprehension that had gripped my thoughts. The tapestry of legality and consequence, it seemed, had been suspended, at least for this moment. With a renewed sense of purpose, I collected the fragments of my belongings.
As I gathered the scattered pieces of my journey, a question, laden with concern and urgency, erupted from the depths of my being. "What happened to Ethan?" The words tumbled from my lips, each syllable a plea that echoed through the room, seeking answers that remained elusive.

Chapter 12: Unveiling Truths - Echoes of the Officers' Tale

And so, the tale unfolds, weaving its intricate threads of mystery and revelation, leading us deeper into the heart of the enigma. A point of no return, a juncture where the story takes a sharp turn, plunging us into a narrative where the boundaries of perception blur and reality fractures.
In this pivotal moment, a narrative unfolds, one that would challenge the very foundations of my understanding. The officers' voices, measured and deliberate, carried the weight of their words as they recounted their side of the story. It was a story that would tear through the fabric of my consciousness, leaving me grappling with a truth that seemed both surreal and devastating.
The road, a ribbon of asphalt that connected two cities, became the backdrop for an episode that defied logic and comprehension. Multiple drivers, traversing the expanse at a steady pace, became witnesses to a spectacle that seemed to emerge from the depths of another reality. A naked figure, running with a frenzied determination, appeared in their midst, a jarring disruption to the mundane rhythm of their journey.
The officers' voices held an air of solemnity as they shared the details, a tableau that painted a picture of chaos and desperation. The figure, my friend, had taken to the road, waving down passing cars with a wild urgency. And then, a revelation that struck like a thunderbolt – he had thrown himself into the path of oncoming semi-trucks.
The words hung in the air like a storm cloud, their weight pressing upon my senses. The image of my friend, vulnerable and exposed, intersecting with the force of massive vehicles, was a collision of realities that shattered the boundaries of comprehension. My mind raced, grappling with the implications of this revelation, a narrative that seemed to twist and turn beyond the bounds of reason.
As the officers spoke, I felt a tidal wave of emotions crashing over me – disbelief, horror, and a profound sense of guilt that clawed at the edges of my consciousness. The room, once a sanctuary of wonder, transformed into a chamber of shadows, where the colors of my journey dimmed and the echoes of my thoughts grew louder.
In this moment of reckoning, I found myself on the precipice of a truth that threatened to consume me. The cosmic dance that had enraptured me now merged with a narrative of human frailty and desperation, leaving me to grapple with a reality that seemed to spiral into chaos. The pieces of my world, once held together by the threads of wonder, now fragmented before my eyes, and I stood at the nexus of a revelation that would forever alter the course of my journey.
And yet, amid the turmoil of emotions, a glimmer of clarity emerged. It had been a mere fraction of time since the peak had subsided, my mind still a canvas of vibrant hues and swirling patterns. The officers, sensing the distress etched across my features, offered a reassurance – a beacon of hope amid the storm. "He's okay," they said, their words like a lifeline cast into the churning sea of my thoughts.
Relief cascaded over me, a wave that carried both gratitude and frustration in its wake. Anger simmered beneath the surface, a question forming on my lips – why hadn't they led with that reassuring truth? As the tumult within me settled, a newfound sense of calm began to take root. My friend, it seemed, was physically unharmed, a realization that lifted a weight from my shoulders and allowed me to exhale a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding.
Part 6/6

Chapter 13: Weaving New Threads

In the aftermath of the storm, a new quest emerged – one that transcended the realms of altered perception and mundane reality. The focus shifted from the cosmic wonders that had painted my consciousness to the pragmatic challenge of navigating the aftermath. With the threads of my world rewoven, I embarked on a journey of restraint, a determination to skirt the edges of trouble and ensure that the tapestry of my night remained intact, despite the unexpected twists and turns it had taken.
And so, I stood at the crossroads of relief and responsibility, my mind a whirlwind of emotions and realizations. The journey was far from over, and the path ahead was fraught with uncertainties. The echoes of the cosmic kaleidoscope still resonated within me, a reminder of the profound and unpredictable nature of the human experience. With a renewed sense of purpose, I set my sights on the horizon, ready to navigate the challenges that lay ahead and preserve the fragile balance between the extraordinary and the mundane.
As the bizarre tapestry of events continued to unfurl, the officers' words wove a narrative that defied both reason and imagination. The image of my friend, a wild figure of desperation, hanging onto a parked semi-truck on the side of the road, was etched into the canvas of my consciousness. His frantic banging on the driver's window became a haunting refrain, a symphony of desperation that played out against the backdrop of an ordinary road.
The officers' account led us to the startling revelation that my friend had been apprehended at a place distant enough to stretch the limits of credulity. Eight kilometers of treacherous terrain lay between our cottage and that point, a journey that spanned a labyrinthine landscape of both distance and time. It was an odyssey of frantic energy, a tumultuous traverse that had taken him from the heart of our shared experience to a place that seemed an eternity away.
As the officers' inquiries delved deeper, a gathering of curious cottage neighbors formed an audience of sorts. Their presence added an extra layer of intrigue to the unfolding drama, a tableau of onlookers whose whispers and glances bore witness to a narrative that straddled the realms of the bizarre and the surreal.
Amidst this strange interplay, the officers' attention shifted to my identification. The holographic security features on my ID card seemed to dance before my eyes, their elusive patterns a manifestation of the fractured reality that had become my world. A misperception, a trick of the mind, led me to believe that the card was damaged, an illusion that, in the grand scheme of the night's events, felt both absurd and insignificant.
My voice, laced with a tripping uncertainty, offered an explanation that only served to deepen the surreal quality of the moment. The officer's quizzical expression mirrored my own confusion, a testament to the strange turns that the night had taken. The bizarre episode, while fleeting, was emblematic of the fluid and unpredictable nature of the reality in which I found myself.
As the surreal interrogation continued, a series of questions emerged, each one a quizzical dance between the ordinary and the extraordinary. The officers probed for information, their inquiries meandering through a landscape where the mundane intersected with the fantastical. In the midst of this strange dialogue, a glimmer of dark humor emerged, punctuating the gravity of the situation with an unexpected levity.

Chapter 14: Whispers of Shared Secrets

Yet, amidst the surreal choreography of questions and answers, a thread of truth began to unravel. It appeared that, in the aftermath of my friend's frenzied escapade, a sequence of events had unfolded. The officers shared that it had taken considerable effort to coax his name from him, a testament to the depths of his altered state. They had reached out to his mother, seeking a path to understanding, and had then contacted mutual friends, a search for a light that could shed reason on the enigma that had engulfed him.
Intriguingly, it was one of these mutual friends who had revealed the nature of our altered journey – the fact that we had partaken in the realms of LSD. The officers' inquiry shifted, their focus now on the possibility of a confession, a narrative that had been painted by whispers and insinuations. They sought to pry open the door to my own experience, probing for any admission that might align with the stories that had reached their ears.
The landscape of questioning shifted, their inquiries now marked by a sense of urgency. They probed for the truth behind the veils of perception, their questions aimed at uncovering the depths of our shared journey. One officer, his voice laced with a curious blend of skepticism and inquiry, ventured a theory – had we perhaps ventured into the realm of mushroom collecting, only to unwittingly consume a psychedelic harvest that had sent us spiraling into altered states of consciousness?
My response, steeped in a blend of innocence and calculated evasion, denied this possibility. I played the role of the bewildered and unwitting traveler, my words a testament to the balancing act between the mundane and the fantastical. Even as I struggled to navigate the questions, I sensed that the officers were privy to the intricate dance that played out in the chambers of my mind.
Time stretched and twisted, the contours of reality bending beneath the weight of my altered consciousness. The officers' words, once stern and probing, seemed to blend into a symphony of absurdity, each question a note in a surreal melody. My attempts to feign normalcy were met with knowing glances, their eyes mirroring my own saucer-like gaze, a reflection of a mind lost in the swirling maelstrom of altered perception.
As the interrogation wore on, the stage expanded to include the chorus of cottage neighbors who had assembled outside. They, too, sought answers, drawn by their familiarity with my friend and a shared sense of concern. Their questions added another layer of complexity to the narrative, a communal effort to make sense of the enigma that had unfolded within our midst.
Among the throng of voices, one query stood out, a simple and direct inquiry that cut through the layers of speculation. "Do you think he just went nuts?" The words, delivered with a mix of curiosity and empathy, echoed through the air, encapsulating the collective bewilderment that permeated the scene.
In the face of this question, I found myself at a crossroads – a juncture where the ordinary and the extraordinary converged, where the boundaries between reality and perception blurred into a kaleidoscope of uncertainty. The question hung in the air, a poignant reminder that the tapestry of human experience is woven with threads of both the mundane and the inexplicable.
And so, against the backdrop of an otherworldly journey and the curious gaze of both officers and neighbors, the narrative of that fateful night continued to unfold. The stage was set for a climax that would test the boundaries of perception, challenge the limits of understanding, and leave an indelible mark on the fabric of memory.

Chapter 15: Authority Challenged, Departure Demanded

As the narrative unfolded, a poignant chapter in the saga emerged – a moment when the currents of reality and the surreal converged in an unexpected symphony. My friend's departure from our refuge was marked by a sense of vulnerability, his attire reduced to a mere blanket wrapped around his form, a makeshift cape that spoke of both defiance and vulnerability.
In his hasty escape, his possessions remained within the confines of the cottage, his phone a silent sentinel of the reality left behind. And yet, in the midst of this surreal tapestry, the phone stirred to life, its ringtone piercing the air like an urgent clarion call. The call bore the weight of familial concern, it was his sister that bridged the gap between the ordinary and the inexplicable.
Her voice, laden with anxiety and a palpable urgency, flowed through the phone lines and into my ears. Her questions cascaded like a waterfall, a deluge of uncertainty seeking answers that remained elusive. Once again, I found myself ensnared in the intricate web of inquiries, a reluctant protagonist in a narrative that seemed to dance on the precipice of reality and illusion.
In a twist of fate, her words took an unexpected turn – a command, an assertion of authority that cut through the confusion like a blade. The officers, no doubt taken aback by the sudden shift in dynamics, bore witness to her resolute stance. Her voice, a forceful declaration of familial protection, transformed the scene into a tableau of assertion and defiance. With her intervention, the fragile threads that had tethered the officers to our space began to unravel.
The exchange between my friend's sister and the officers crackled with tension, a battle of wills that carried the weight of familial bonds. The very foundations of reality seemed to shift beneath our feet as her words carried a message both clear and unyielding – a directive to depart and leave this place untouched by their presence. In her words, I sensed the embodiment of a fierce determination, a resolve that cut through the mire of uncertainty and confusion.
Part 7/7

Chapter 16: Leaving the Enchanted Woods

As the storm of emotions raged, a decision loomed before me – whether to remain within the confines of the cottage or to heed the call of departure. The air around me seemed charged with the echoes of an unfolding drama, the emotions of the night swirling in a chaotic dance. And so, with a heavy heart and a mind still entwined in the grip of altered perception, I made my choice.
Emerging from the cottage, I was met with the curious gazes of the assembled neighbors, a tapestry of faces that mirrored the complex emotions that swirled within. In their eyes, I glimpsed a mixture of sympathy and bewilderment, a reflection of the shared journey we had all undertaken. My voice, strained and laden with the weight of the night's events, found its way into the open air, a whispered acknowledgment of the surreal reality that had engulfed us.
As the crowd slowly dispersed, and the officers prepared to bid their farewell, a sense of solitude settled over the cottage, an ambiance both serene and tinged with the residual energy of the night's unfolding events.
In the wake of their departure, a practical concern surfaced. "What about me?" I ventured, the words hanging in the air like a delicate thread of inquiry. The darkness outside held the promise of nightfall, and a disquieting reality dawned upon me – I was stranded in this unfamiliar realm with the cloak of darkness as my sole companion.
The officers, perhaps moved by a gesture of compassion, reluctantly extended an offer of assistance. "We can take you halfway," they conveyed, their voices a bridge between the practicalities of the moment and the enigma that had been woven throughout the night. A journey commenced, a nocturnal expedition through dimly lit roads shrouded in mystery and shadows.
As the police car traversed the nocturnal landscape, an unspoken agreement hung in the air, a tacit understanding that this conversation existed beyond the bounds of official record. The barriers of formality dissolved, giving way to a candid exchange that meandered through topics both mundane and profound. Their inquiries persisted, punctuated by moments of shared laughter and glimpses into the lives that existed beyond the confines of this extraordinary encounter.
The effects of the night's journey ebbed like a receding tide, the waves of altered perception gradually relinquishing their hold on my senses. The visual symphony that had danced before my eyes began to wane, yielding to the familiar contours of reality. And so, as the journey reached its designated juncture, gratitude flowed from my lips, a genuine acknowledgment of the kindness that had been extended.
With the police car's doors ajar, I stepped out into the realm of the ordinary, the darkness enshrouding me like a comforting shroud. Their departure marked the beginning of a solitary trek, a path illuminated by the muted glow of streetlights and the twinkle of distant stars. A sense of calm enveloped me, a stark contrast to the maelstrom of the night's adventures.

Chapter 17: Returning to Earthly Ground

Upon my return home, I found the digital realm awash with notifications, a testament to the far-reaching ripples of the evening's events. The messages, a tapestry of concern and curiosity, painted a portrait of a world that had been touched by the unfolding saga. As I settled into the quietude of my sanctuary, a wave of contemplation washed over me, the weight of the night's experiences settling into the fabric of my consciousness.
The dawn of a new day beckoned, a fresh chapter in the evolving narrative. Armed with a sense of purpose and a heart laden with concern, I embarked on a pilgrimage to the hospital, a sanctuary that held the key to unraveling the enigma that had consumed us. Yet, the path forward was veiled in uncertainty, a question mark that hung in the air like an unspoken query.
In a twist of fate, a call materialized – the voice on the other end, a conduit to revelations that would reshape the contours of the story. The words that flowed from the speaker painted a portrait of events that had remained shrouded in mystery. My friend's mother, a figure of compassion and understanding, offered insights that bridged the gaps between speculation and reality.
Through her words, a veil was lifted, revealing fragments of a truth that had remained concealed. The pieces of the puzzle fell into place – a fragmented memory, a journey shrouded in the haze of altered consciousness. The story that had been etched in the fabric of that unforgettable night took on new dimensions, each revelation a brushstroke that added depth to the canvas of our shared experience.
And so, the tale continued, an odyssey that spanned realms of perception, emotion, and human connection. As the story unfolded, the boundaries between reality and surreality blurred, leaving behind a tapestry woven with threads of wonder, mystery, and resilience. The night's events had forever altered the trajectory of our lives, a testament to the indelible impact of a journey through the cosmic kaleidoscope.
The tale reached its zenith, a crescendo of remarkable events etched into the annals of an unforgettable night. However, as the final threads of this narrative are woven, an unexpected revelation emerges, a tale of synchronicity and chance that casts a surreal glow upon the already fantastical story.

Chapter 18: Beyond Belief

In a twist of serendipity, a seemingly unrelated source becomes a conduit for an anecdote that defies all expectations. It was during an evening imbued with camaraderie and conversation that I found myself recounting the bewildering events that had transpired. The listener, a close friend and confidante, initially greeted my tale with laughter, a response rooted in disbelief at the sheer audacity of the night's events.
Yet, as our conversation meandered through the realms of memory, a spark of recognition ignited within her. A recollection, dormant yet vivid, emerged from the recesses of her mind – a narrative that she herself had heard, an account that would send shivers down my spine.
With a mixture of amusement and incredulity, my friend proceeded to share a tale that bordered on the surreal. She recounted an evening not unlike the one that had captivated our collective attention, an evening where chance encounters and the convergence of paths held sway.
Her tale unfolded thus: On that very same fateful night, after her friend's mother had concluded her duties at a local gas station, she embarked on her journey homeward. Cruising along the road that had played host to our enigmatic exploits, she found herself trailing a massive, double-decker semi-truck, a behemoth tasked with ferrying an array of new vehicles.
And then, as if plucked from the realm of the extraordinary, a trunk atop the trailer sprang open. A figure emerged, unclothed and unabashed, perched atop the uppermost car. This naked silhouette wiggled its legs, an otherworldly dance against the backdrop of the night.
Although my friend's account did not directly confirm the identity of this curious character, a chilling resonance reverberated through my consciousness. It was a chilling echo that seemed to resonate with the very essence of the tale, a thread that wove the fabric of the surreal and the inexplicable into the tapestry of our shared experience.
As I pieced together this puzzling vignette, I was left to ponder the enigma that had brought our lives into such unexpected alignment. The surreal interplay between disparate elements seemed to transcend the boundaries of chance, hinting at a deeper, unseen current that wove its way through the very fabric of existence.

Chapter 18: Farewell

And thus, as the curtain falls on this remarkable saga, I am left with a sense of awe and wonder, an appreciation for the mysteries that continue to unfold in the labyrinth of existence. This tale, with its twists and turns, its moments of euphoria and its brushes with the surreal, stands as a testament to the extraordinary journeys that can emerge from the most ordinary of nights.
And so, dear reader, I lay down my pen, having woven together the threads of a story that traverses the realms of perception, emotion, and the inexplicable. Through the tapestry of this narrative, we have explored the dance between shadow and light, the interplay of cosmic wonder and human frailty, and the intricate web of human connections that bind us all.
As the echoes of this tale reverberate through the chambers of memory, may you find inspiration in the twists and turns that life's journey presents. May you embrace the enigmatic currents that flow through the fabric of existence, and may you seek solace and revelation in the most unexpected of places.
For in the symphony of our shared experiences, there are stories that transcend the ordinary and venture into the extraordinary. And as we navigate the intricacies of our own narratives, may we remember that every moment, no matter how mundane or surreal, contributes to the rich and intricate mosaic of the human experience.
With that, I bid you farewell, until we meet again on the pages of another tale, where the dance between shadow and light continues to unfold.
I apologize for the confusion with part numbers, it would not let me change them again due to the comments being too long.

Hi HappyHorsey,

thank you so much for your kind words. It really means a lot.
My friend was, suprisingly, more than ok. Just scratched up from the bushes he plowed through :)
We talked about the experience a lot and shared many laughs. Also we didn't get in any trouble, just one dissapointed mother.

This has happened almost 7 years ago and I am so happy that I was able to finally share this crazy, yet fascinating experience.
We have since gone on to live our own lives, but I still have hope we will reflect on that mystical night once again.

Sending love
TPS
Hey TPS,

I'm glad that you both are okay and didn't get in any trouble.

It's always nice to share your stories with the community that can actually appreciate the adventure you guys had. Most 'normies' just don't get it, do they..

With time people do grow apart but I hope you guys reconnect at some point and maybe have even crazier trips together.

Love and Light!

xoxo

Dear H,

It's fun for the community my friend, not to make people buy our tabs. Buy from wherever you like. Buy from multiple vendors, and get a plethora of medicines and make a cocktail of your choice. There are some pretty hardcore psychonaughts here. I think the competition is going to be pretty insane. Hopefully not getting out of hand insane!

It's going to fun. I cannot wait to hear what people get up to.

And remember, it's not just about the one trip report, we also want to hear about your stories and adventures discovering psychedelics and the journey that have taken you on throughout life, and the medicinal benefits people have taken from these molecules.

I look forward to reading your entry.

Love and blessings, DS

Dear H,

Yes, everything is reviewed, and everyone is in the clear. Looking forward to being back next week, with some great improvements, which will make Tribe Seuss only better than ever before.

The writing competition will continue, but I am going to ask HappyHorsey to extend the deadline for entries, so people have more time to contribute.

UK and USA Outlets will be open before the end of next week I think, for existing customers, and will be working on an authentication process for new users too.

Basically all is going very well, and bumps in the road will not deter us.

I hope you are all well.

Dear H,

I am glad you like it.

The light work and healing implementation of the crystal is so close to my heart.

I so badly want to be able to be involved more deeply with those working with LSD therapy, and I want more contributions here in this regard.

I notice many people concentrating on the Craziest Trip aspect, but quite honestly, what I am personally more excited to read about is people's journeys, and especially those journeys of people who have been relieved from their suffering with medicinal use.

I am glad the competition is extended a little longer so we can give more chance for such people to come forward.

Gave a good week, and stay safe my friend.

Love and blessings, DS
MY JOURNEY WITH PSYCHEDELICS!

Curious About LSD

It was the end of 2011. We gathered on a school bench and began discussing the weekend. One of my friends suggested the topic of LSD. In short, he shared stories about his older brother's journeys and parties involving LSD.

By this time, we had already tried weed and XTC, so we were somehow aware of these substances and their effects, not as much as we are now.

Motivation to Try It

After hearing these stories, We are counting days to trying LSD :

How it feels

What it does to the mind

Its visual effects

We attempted to obtain some and we succeeded. We got our hands on some California Sunshine for the first time.

First Time Experience

We had no idea about the concept of set and setting because, at that time, we had no access to DNM (Darknet Markets) and forums. We went to the beach, cut it in half, placed it on our tongues, and waited.

Initially, we had no clue how it would kick in, but eventually, we started to feel something different:

Sound was different

Focus altered

Depth perception changed

Panic

Visual distortions

The guy who gave it to us advised not to panic and to relax. So, we followed his advice. I remember that moment it felt like an infinite number of thoughts were floating in my mind. When I looked at something, I could envision all possible scenarios related to it. It was mind-blowing, and the visuals started to kick in. Wow, that was a memorable experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I enjoyed it, but I must point out that, being the first time, I had some concerns about these effects. How could such a small piece of paper do this?

The Journey Begins

After my first trip, I became obsessed with LSD and how it works. I continued to trip approximately once a month for about two years, finding reliable sources.

During that time, obtaining pure LSD in my country was very challenging, but we kept trying. LSD helped me calm down, gain clarity, overcome my fears, balance work and life, and enhance my creativity. It also changed my problem-solving approach.

Out of curiosity, I delved into how to source pure LSD. After months of research, I figured out how to access DNM and forums. This provided me with valuable information about LSD and harm reduction, which helped me immensely, all because I had developed a deep affection for this molecule.

I tried LSD from various sources, but I love for Dr. Seuss's LSD. It offered a completely different and beautiful experience.

In the early days, I experimented with different vendors and ended up with some 25i-NBOMe, but that's part of the game. After some time, my sources were only TS and GG.

This molecule of love has truly transformed the way I think and made me a better person. I hold deep gratitude this molecule and Dr. Seuss. Long live the king.

Long story short - Last minute submitting Due to the unexpected IRL Health issue. and I am very happy for submitting this after having a near death experience.

Dear H,

Thank you for the contribution my friend.

I am sorry to hear of the health issues. My heart goes out to you! I am glad you are still here to share your words with us all.

Sorry for my curiosity, but what was your near death experience like?

I do not mean to be macabre or insensitive, but did you have any kind of transcendent experience?

Regardless, I very much hope you are doing OK and your health is improving my friend.

Have a good week and our prayers and well wishes go out to you from all The Tribe.

Love and blessings, DS
Thanks for the kind words Doc, I am slowly recovering and i am more aware of the value of this life.

This happen in early sep, I have no idea it was transcendent experience or not but the whole thing happened within a seconds actually, My vision is so blurry but i saw something far away, it was white or more like bright ,
i felt something it mix with fear feeling but don't know how to describe it,and all the sudden and i was shaking and at that moment my legs are numb i didn't remember after that.

I cant forget that day i never will. Now I'm slowly recovering that.

I pray for everybody's excellent and pleasant health

Stay safe and spread the love

Dear H,

Death is the ultimate trip and the journey we will all eventually take. I too have paid that realm a brief 5 minute visit (seemed like an eternity one with the universe though) and managed to return safely. I am thankful for the experience. I now look at this with no fear, which has been a blessing.

I am thankful that you did not take that journey permanently though. We are blessed to spend our short time in this reality simulation. At the end of the day, it is all a game which the universal consciousness has concocted for us to enjoy, learn, create, evolve. Keeping things in this perspective is a good route to a happy life.

I hope you are back to 100% health and have many happy years ahead.

Have a great week and stay safe my friend!

Love and blessings, DS

Damn I had a very good trip report with the DS3.0 on TMG. Kind of sucks.

Speaking of TMG, has Perception shown any signs of life last few months? You sound confident enough they will show up to judge the reports hah

Dear PT,

No no no my friend. See my post pinned above. We will not let them ruin our celebrations!

We must all fight for freedom from time to time, whether that is with our actions, or with our words.

Right now I hope the community will come together and share their words, to help educate those who do not know this medicine's healing powers, and protest for an end to this ludicrous prohibition!

MY JOURNEY WITH PSYCHEDELICS

Before Trip

I had been in a deep void for a long time, and the reasons behind this were not being economically independent, witnessing negativity from my friends, realizing that no matter how hard I tried to be good, I was treated as foolish, people constantly wanting to use me throughout my life, and then discarding me when when their purposes were fulfilled..I had become so disconnected from the flow of life that within that dark year where I couldn't find motivation to wake up, I consumed whatever I could find.

LSD was something I had wanted to try for a long time but couldn't find. During this dark period of using everything, I was completely at rock bottom. I used crystal meth, heroin, pills. I was at an all-time low, and one day, in desperation, I asked the street vendors who i called my friends, who were only with me to use me, about LSD. They quoted a significantly high price, and without even thinking about the little money I had, I handed it over and bought it.

I used my first LSD with shitty people and experiences werent really good but when i saw the visuals and felt effects of LSD i understand that was the thing what i needed. After my first use it made me understand i should treat myself better and remove this shitty people from my life who want to use me but this was impossible because the only way for me to obtain the things I desired was through these blood-sucking vampires.

They used to invite me to hang out and use Meth with them, but after my first acid experience, I had stopped using everything I considered harmful. When I asked them about LSD or Psychedelics they would tell me that "there's something coming soon, and now there's a really good Meth or Heroin available", urging me to join them. Their sole purpose was to satisfy their own desires. Recently, one day they claimed to have LSD even though they didn't actually possess it, and they tried to rob me. I didn't suffer any serious injuries, I managed to escape, but I sat in the middle of the street and cried.I cried because I had to deal with bad people while seeking a way out, a treatment, and it was so difficult.

And I started searching on the deep web, on the internet. I came across Dread first, there were a few Turks there, but the prices were a bit high for me, so no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't take that bold step.

And I saw the The Doctor's message about the topic of DSTR opening on the same day it was discussed. I was really excited and started researching. I read everything on TribeSeuss from start to finish even on clean web. After a few anxious, indecisive, and paranoid days, After a sleepless night, I suddenly placed the order without thinking because there was something calling out to me. This was my first order from the DW, which is precisely why I was extremely anxious. I had learned about PGP, opsec, and other related topics from the site and applied what i can. After placing the order, I was extremely excited, but I thank the DSTR team for being very attentive.

And on that special day, my door was knocked, and what I had wished for was delivered to me, right into my hands. I was in a state of shock, astonishment, excitement, and incredible happiness.
I could feel my heart beating. Knowing that day was coming, I had prepared for it. I decorated my room, added plenty of relaxing and trippy wall curtains. I entered my room, which I had carefully prepared for the trip. There's something I need to mention, though - my entire family was at home. I was in a state of uncertainty about what to do, Later on, I wanted to look for the substance, but it took me some time to find it. In fact, while trying to find it, I even sent a message to the team But shortly after, without needing an answer, I found it. It was really well hidden. I was amazed when i found it and i put x2 - 100ug blotter in my mouth and hide all others...

MY TRIP WITH DS3.0 100ug x2

I lay down on my bed, turned on my music, and waited for the effects to kick in. While waiting, I pondered over my experiences, my life, my mistakes, and many other things. Not too long after, rhythmic blue-purple lights danced on my room's ceiling in sync with the music. I was watching in astonishment, a fluttering happiness inside me like butterflies. I felt like a little child, completely enthralled. I started following what I saw in a peaceful manner. After continuing like this for a while, I decided to go outside and head to the store to grab something to drink. I stood in front of my wardrobe to pick out something to wear. When I opened the wardrobe door, all my clothes were shimmering and sparkling. I realized that I had been wearing things in dark tones for a long time due to being depressed, but now the colorful clothes on the edge of my wardrobe were waving at me. My wardrobe seemed like a burst of colors. I felt like a star as I stood there choosing my clothes. Then, involuntarily, I found the feeling amusing and burst into laughter. decided to wear the colorful clothes and stepped out of my room.

As I told my mother that I was going out, for some reason, I felt a strong sense of love inside me. With my headphones on, I had left the house, realizing that the real adventure was just beginning. Crystal Castles' "Vanished" was playing in my ears as I stepped into the elevator. I pressed the button to go down. The elevator, covered in mirrors everywhere, moved like a spaceship. Colors were sparkling one after another, and observing the reflected colors and myself in the mirrors was incredibly intriguing. The flow of time seemed to have changed; I felt as though a long time had passed inside the elevator. Finally, the elevator descended, and I stepped outside.When I stepped outside, I felt enchanted. The trees and the small flowers around seemed to be greeting me. I looked at them with astonished eyes.

I was walking towards the market. The sun, the wind, everything felt magical, but a small worry had started to creep in, as if saying "I'm here." It was as if everyone was watching me. Strange questions started to pop into my head. "Was I walking properly? How did I look from the outside?" Trying not to attract too much attention, I entered the market. The same mundane store I visited every day now felt like something out of a cyberpunk universe. All the products, beverages, fruit juices, were displaying vibrant colors. I remember thinking that the red ones were health potions and the blue ones were mana potions. I picked up a few items for myself and headed towards the checkout.
I don't know why, but the toys they placed near the checkout looked hilarious, and I had to really control myself not to burst into laughter while making the payment. I left the store, walking happily. I entered the building and found myself back at my favorite part - the elevator. Upon entering, I started dancing to the music and danced like crazy until I reached my floor. Singing along to the song, I danced with small moves. When I arrived at my floor, the door had opened, and someone was there. I think she had heard me singing. It was an embarrassing and funny moment. I quickly entered my home.

I quickly entered my room, turned on the music, and lay down on my bed. I played my music through the speakers and lay down.I watched the visuals. My room, the walls, everything looked so beautiful that I was in awe.I realized that I had made a mistake by taking x2 100, I realized I had made a slight mistake because the visuals had become quite intense, and for a moment, I felt a surge of fear. I was feeling a bit nauseous. I was thinking about my old mistakes, I thought about the wrongs people had done to me and the hurtful behaviors I had shown towards others. thought about the harm I've caused to myself because of my old drug abuse. i started to cry but it felt like some kind of purification. I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself, "This is what I wanted, and I'm living what I desired. So, enjoy it to the fullest. Surrender to the colors and savor the experience."

After that moment, I took a deep breath, embraced the sensations, and returned to my room with a newfound sense of calm. The visuals continued to dance before my eyes, and I let myself be carried away by the vibrant colors and swirling patterns. It was a journey into a world of my own creation, a beautiful escape from the ordinary. One of the beautiful surprises for me was when my cat, as if understanding me, came and jumped onto me, doing cute gestures. It was an unforgettable magical moment, as if we understood each other.

As time passed, I found myself lost in a sea of thoughts and emotions. The music seemed to meld with the visuals, creating a symphony of sensations that resonated deep within me. I explored the corners of my mind, revisiting memories, pondering questions, and finding a sense of connection with my inner self.

The fear I had felt earlier began to dissolve, replaced by a profound sense of acceptance and serenity. It was as if I had transcended the boundaries of my usual consciousness and entered a realm of pure experience.

Eventually, the intensity started to wane, and I was left with a feeling of gentle euphoria. I slowly opened my eyes, taking in the more familiar sights of my room, now bathed in the soft light of the evening. The journey had almost come to an end, but the impact it left on me lingered...

Reflecting on the experience, I realized that sometimes, stepping out of one's comfort zone can lead to moments of unexpected growth and understanding. This journey had been a reminder that life's tapestry is woven with a rich variety of colors, experiences, and emotions, waiting to be explored and appreciated.

Thank you for everything Tribe_Seuss.
Hello asitkedisi,

Thank you for your submission.

I absolutely loved your story. Sounds like you found The Tribe at the right moment in your life.

"I remember thinking that the red ones were health potions and the blue ones were mana potions" - That's hilarious! xD

I can very much relate to what you were saying about feeling connected to your cat. I always feel like when I'm tripping my cat looks even more majestic than usual and they just know all the secrets to the Universe and we share that knowledge telepathically somehow.

I'm glad that the sacred crystal has had such a positive affect on your mindset.

Love and Light!

MY CRAZIEST TRIP EVER!!!

JOURNEY OF THE HEART: A TRANSFORMATIVE ENCOUNTER

A Fateful Day
A few years ago, I embarked on a sacred and transformative medicine journey that would forever change the course of my life. Guided by an inner curiosity and embracing the potential of this experience, I was unintentionally and unexpectedly invited to discover the profound power of universal love. As I delved into the depths of the medicine journey, I had no idea that it’s impact would extend far beyond the moment, inspiring ongoing revelations and an extraordinary years long process of integration. This journey gifted me with a revelation that transcended ordinary understanding, an awareness that love, the very essence of life, was not only an external force but rather a boundless reservoir residing within the core of my being. At first, I perceived it as a moment of magic, a glimpse of something potentially beyond this world. But as the echoes of the journey lingered, its true significance began to reveal itself and continues to do so.

With transparency and sincerity, I wish to share the challenges I faced in integrating this powerful encounter into my everyday existence. This journey was not a miraculous transformation but rather the beginning of an unfolding path. A lifelong endeavor that continues to shape my perception and actions. Throughout this exploration, I have come to embrace the beauty of imperfection in the process of personal growth. There have been moments of uncertainty and moments of revelation, times when I feel intimately connected to the universe and times when I struggle to grasp the divine essence within. Yet, with each step, I’ve discovered valuable insights and experienced profound moments of learning and self-discovery. The revelations that have come extend beyond the confines of that singular journey, teaching me about vulnerability, compassion, and the intricate tapestry of interconnectedness that binds all living beings.

The Experience
As I prepared for my first proper voyage into hyperspace, I felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation. With the proper tools in hand, the long-awaited moment had arrived. Taking a measured and light-handed approach, I expected a gentle entry into this uncharted realm. However, the universe had something far more extraordinary in store. The moment I took in the medicine, my surroundings ignited with an ethereal light show, vibrating with fractals of cosmic beauty. In that very moment, I experienced a profound connection to the universe, as if all existence resonated in perfect harmony with my soul. The walls of my room danced with fractals and sacred geometry, every sound echoing in harmonious tones. Amidst the electrifying squiggles of colors and patterns, a fleeting silhouette of a feminine being revealed itself, piquing my interest and leaving me yearning to explore further.

Empowered by the uplifting vibes of the first experience, I dared to dive deeper on a subsequent occasion later that day. I prepared for the journey, this time fully embracing possibility and setting aside my cautious approach in order to dive head first even deeper into the experience. Immediately upon consuming the medicine, the room erupted into an even more intense symphony of vibrations, reality bending and breaking apart before me. Guided by the familiar musical tones, I felt an irresistible call leading me to an encounter of a lifetime. I closed my eyes, bracing myself for the journey ahead.

Upon closing my eyes, I was greeted by a shape-shifting, ethereal being, an enigmatic black and white orb with wriggling tubular appendages. As I perceived this entity with amazement and disbelief, I couldn’t help but once again notice the same captivating feminine energy from earlier. Wordlessly, it beckoned for my attention, guiding me to receive a wondrous gift. As I managed to somehow focus in, it suddenly split in two, revealing its gift as my reward for embracing the moment. An offering of the most powerfully pure, true, and unconditional love. In an instant, this gift, this feeling of boundless love, touched the very core of my being. It illuminated the shadows of fear and anxiety, teaching me the art of letting go and embracing the fullness of existence. It shattered the barriers that separated me from the world around me, revealing the interconnectedness of all things, the oneness that threads through every living being.

As I received this profound boon, I was overwhelmed by its beauty, determined to cherish it forever. In the midst of these extraordinary revelations, I found myself swept away by the sheer awe of the moment. As the symphony of colors and fractals enveloped my senses, I couldn’t help but marvel at the grandiosity of the experience. My mind was racing, attempting to capture every intricate detail, eager to share this magical encounter with the world. In my excitement, I thought, “Wow, this is beyond words! I must remember every sensation, every nuance, so I can recount this story later and convey its sheer magnificence.” It was as if the very fabric of reality was unfurling before my eyes, and I wanted to hold onto it with every ounce of my being.

Yet, in the midst of my exhilaration, the celestial entity gently communicated without uttering a single word, urging me to cease my frantic note taking and embrace the essence of the moment. Almost as if nudging me with a gentle yet insistent presence, it implored me to let go of my need to analyze and verbalize, and instead, to surrender to the pure experience of it all. At that moment, I felt a profound sense of connection with this celestial guide, as if it were sharing in my delight but also wanting me to recognize the limitations of words in capturing the true essence of this journey. It seemed to remind me that some experiences transcend the confines of language, unfolding in realms where the heart and soul speak in a language of their own.

Heeding its silent counsel, I chose to release my grasp on the mental notes and simply immerse myself in the present, fully surrendering to the journey’s flow. As I embraced the moment with complete openness, the entity responded with a guided journey through a breathtaking landscape of kaleidoscopic colors and morphing geometries. Time seemed to lose its grip, and I soared through a realm of indescribable beauty and infinite wonder. As the medicine’s effects gently waned, and I slowly emerged from the cosmic voyage, I was filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Tears of amazement, joy and disbelief poured from my eyes. Without a doubt, this was one of the most inspiring and profound experiences I have ever encountered in my life.

Integration
This profound encounter left me with a realization that would forever shape my understanding of love and life’s essence. It was not simply an external force that graced me that day but rather a boundless reservoir residing within my soul. This revelation opened my eyes to the vastness of love within me, waiting to be acknowledged, embraced, and shared with the world. With this newfound understanding, I realized that love is not just a fleeting emotion or an external force; it is the very essence of life itself, a constant, ever-flowing stream that connects us all. As I continue to integrate this profound realization into my daily life, my actions, and my relationships, I undergo a profound shift in my perspective. Love has increasingly become the compass guiding my decisions, transforming how I interact with others and how I treat myself.

The realization that love is the essence of life and that it can be experienced through conscious practice has become my guiding principle. I strive to share this understanding with others, to inspire them to tap into the wellspring of love within their hearts, and to embrace love as a transformative force for personal growth and positive change. This ongoing journey of integration is not a linear path or a quick fix. It requires constant effort, self-reflection, and a willingness to face challenges head-on. There are days when I may lose sight of the boundless love within me and stumble in my practice. Yet, I have learned to be gentle with myself during these times, understanding that growth is not always linear.

Each step I take, no matter how small, brings me closer to a more loving and compassionate version of myself. I’ve come to realize that this journey is not about perfection, but about progress. It’s about learning from the moments when I falter and using that knowledge to steer myself back onto the path of love and understanding. Through this ongoing process of integration, I have also come to appreciate the beauty of the present moment. The journey itself is a destination, and I find joy in the daily discoveries and growth that come from embracing love as a guiding force. As I navigate the twists and turns of life, I know that this journey will continue to evolve. It is not a destination reached and forgotten; rather, it is an ever-evolving exploration of the depths of love and the interconnectedness of all things.

I am grateful for the profound experience that opened my eyes to the essence of love and for the opportunity to embark on this lifelong journey of integration. I embrace the challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead, knowing that they are an essential part of the transformative process. In the end, it is the commitment to growth, the willingness to learn from every experience, and the daily practice of love and compassion that will shape this lifelong endeavor into a meaningful and profound exploration of self and the world around me. Embracing the essence of love and practicing loving compassion is an ongoing process of growth and self-discovery, and I am wholeheartedly dedicated to this lifelong endeavor of integrating the profound impact of that fateful day.

Hello gigachungus,

Thank you so much for the great submission.

I have always thought that literature is a great way to escape "this" world and I'm glad that it helped you turning such a hard time in your life.

" our transcendence is not marked by a transcendence of humility or remorse or empathy, that may be the byproduct, our transcendence is marked by contentment toward our past and embracing it for how it shaped you today. " - I couldn't agree more, what a beautiful way articulating it!

I really enjoyed reading your story!

MY JOURNEY WITH PSYCHEDELICS

Chapter 1: The Call of the Psychedelic Voyage

The journey into the realm of psychedelics began not with a bang, but with a whisper - an intriguing rumor that danced through the corridors of my mind. I had always been a curious soul, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a hunger for the exploration of alternate states of consciousness. The tales of psychedelic experiences, whispered among the underground, beckoned to me like siren songs, promising to unlock the secrets of the universe. The day of my first experience, which I had chronicled in a previous tale, marked the genesis of a transformative odyssey.

It was on a crisp autumn evening, when the world was bathed in the soft glow of twilight, that I took my first tentative steps towards the psychedelic abyss. With two small squares of paper cradled in my palm, I embarked on a journey that would forever alter the trajectory of my existence. It was LSD, the key to a portal I had long yearned to unlock.

As the acid began to weave its intricate tapestry within the depths of my mind, reality itself transformed. Colors took on a vibrancy that defied description, and the boundaries that separated me from the world dissolved into a pulsating, interconnected web of existence. Time became a mercurial river, flowing backward and forward, carrying me on its undulating currents.

Chapter 2: The Enchantment of 2-CB

The journey with LSD was but the first step in my odyssey. The siren song of psychedelics continued to beckon, leading me to the mystical realms of 2-CB. This compound, with its reputation for inducing profound visuals and a unique blend of mental and physical sensations, became my next destination.

Under the canopy of a star-studded night, I ingested a tiny amount of brownish powder. It wasn't long before the world began to ripple and shift, as though I had been transported to a dreamscape painted with the brushstrokes of the gods themselves. The boundaries between my body and the cosmos blurred, and I felt as though I were melting into the very fabric of existence.

The visuals that danced before my eyes were a symphony of wonder - patterns that pulsed and morphed, colors that sang in harmony, and a sense of interconnectedness that transcended the limitations of language. It was as if the universe had laid bare its secrets before me, inviting me to partake in its cosmic dance.

Chapter 3: The Path Unfolds

With each step along this psychedelic path, I found myself descending deeper into the labyrinth of my own consciousness. I encountered visions that defied explanation and insights that illuminated the darkest corners of my psyche. These experiences, both beautiful and challenging, became the threads of a tapestry that wove the story of my transformation.

As I navigated the ever-shifting landscapes of my mind, I unearthed buried memories and confronted unresolved traumas. The psychedelics served as catalysts for introspection, inviting me to confront my demons and emerge stronger on the other side. It was a journey of self-discovery, a quest to unearth the hidden gems of my soul.

Chapter 4: The Vision of Change

The psychedelic voyages not only opened doors within my mind but also awakened a profound sense of responsibility. I couldn't help but see the world with new eyes, to perceive the interconnectedness of all living beings, and to recognize the injustices that plagued society. It was during one particularly revelatory trip that I stumbled upon an opportunity to make a difference - a moment that would etch itself into the very core of my being.

As I delved deeper into the realms of altered consciousness, I carried with me the growing weight of a world in desperate need of change. The veil had been lifted, and I saw the stark realities that had eluded my awareness for so long. I could feel the threads of human existence interwoven with the tapestry of life itself, and it became increasingly clear that my journey had a purpose beyond personal exploration.

It was during a crisp, starlit night that the opportunity to make a tangible impact presented itself. A homeless tour, a unique venture led by individuals who had endured the unforgiving trials of life on the streets, became a turning point. Their stories were etched in the lines of their weathered faces, each line a testament to the hardships they had endured and the resilience that had sustained them.

As I walked alongside these individuals, I listened with a heavy heart to their tales of addiction, struggle, and, against all odds, survival. They spoke of nights spent on cold, unforgiving concrete, of the relentless hunger that gnawed at their bellies, and of the isolation that enveloped them like a shroud. Yet, amidst the shadows of despair, I witnessed a flicker of resilience - an ember of hope that refused to be extinguished.

What struck me most profoundly, however, was the systemic issue that ensnared them in an unending cycle of destitution. It was a burden that clung to them like a relentless specter - the burden of debt. When these courageous souls attempted to reintegrate into society and secure employment, their hard-earned wages were confiscated to repay debts accrued for social and health insurance, transportation, and other necessities.

It was a nightmare - a vicious circle where the very act of striving to escape homelessness became an exercise in futility. The state's refusal to forgive these debts served as a cruel reminder of a system that seemed indifferent to the plight of those it had failed. The specter of debt held them captive, perpetuating their dependence on social support and reinforcing the shackles of homelessness.

The weight of this injustice pressed upon my soul. I could not stand idly by, for the lessons of compassion and interconnectedness, learned through my psychedelic experiences, ignited a fervor within me. I became an advocate for change, determined to lend my voice to those who had been silenced by circumstance.

Yet, the path of advocacy proved to be an uphill battle. My efforts to challenge the system and advocate for the rights of the homeless had not yielded significant results. It was disheartening to witness the inertia of bureaucracy, the resistance to change, and the perpetuation of a broken system.

Their struggles were not abstract; they were lived experiences etched into the very fabric of our society. The weight of debt, the cycle of dependence, and the lack of support systems left these souls in a state of perpetual limbo.
In the midst of this darkness, I found myself searching for answers, yearning for a world where compassion triumphed over bureaucracy, and where the forgotten voices of the homeless were heard. The journey was far from over, and the challenges ahead were daunting. Yet, with each step, I carried the conviction that change was possible - a conviction fueled by the lessons of compassion and interconnectedness learned through my psychedelic sojourns.

Chapter 5: Beyond the Horizon

As I stand on the precipice of the unknown, I know that my journey with psychedelics is far from over. The path ahead stretches like an uncharted wilderness, promising new vistas of insight and transformation. It is a journey I undertake with humility, guided by the wisdom bestowed upon me by these sacred substances.

In the future, I yearn to venture even deeper into the realms of altered consciousness. DMT, the spirit molecule, beckons like a beacon in the night, promising to unveil mysteries beyond imagination. With each step, I carry the lessons of compassion, interconnectedness, and social responsibility, determined to make the world a better place for all.

As the stars continue their eternal dance in the cosmic expanse, I step forward into the unknown, armed with the knowledge that the journey with psychedelics is a lifelong odyssey - one that promises to be as vivid and profound as the visions that dance in the realms of altered perception. The path may be uncertain, but it is a path I tread with hope, wonder, and an unwavering commitment to explore the mysteries of the mind and the universe itself.

So, dear reader, as you close the chapters of my story, remember that you too hold the power to make a change. Be compassionate, lend a helping hand when you can, and listen to the voices that often go unheard. For in the tapestry of existence, each thread represents a life, a story, and a soul worthy of love and understanding. Together, we can weave a world where empathy reigns, and where the forgotten find solace in the warmth of our collective compassion.

MY CRAZIEST TRIP EVER!!! - Soul Bomb as a First Trip

Dose: 100 μg LSD, then another 100 μg LSD with 500 mg Psilocybe Cubensis chocolate

Foreword:
Back in my youth when I had experience only with weed, I did what I'm about to write, and I still see it as the craziest experience those substances could give me at that time. From this experience on, I'm buying tabs only from The Tribe, which are from my experience precisely dosed. Looking back at this, when I just found some LSD and bought it, it was, well... crazy. :-)

Experience:
I'm writing this at 7 pm, my first LSD experience is, I believe, over.
I won't lie, this day is weird from its beginning...
I woke up at 6 am, with just a few hours of sleep, yet feeling full of energy. It was weird, but I instantly knew I must get the best out of this day. That this day is going to be special. And I had something special to fulfill this feeling.
I packed everything into my small bag, wrote some anchors on my hand, and even a letter for anyone that could find me tripping, which was very unlikely.
T+ 0:00 - I came to my place in the meadow, unpacked my things, made myself clear what I want from the trip, and at 8:42 am, I applied 100 μg of LSD on my tongue as half of 200 μg blotter. Then I just turned on a playlist that I created for this and waited.
T+ 1:00 - The first thing I noticed was the high, very similar to weed, but with way more muscle relaxation. Everything is so simple to do, even now.
T+ 2:00 - This effect got bigger when I almost uncontrollably began to spin to the music. However, it was sadly long after DSOTM has already played. How I wished to trip listening to Pink Floyd... Anyway, the playlist was 8 hours long, so I just continued. And I didn't mind, I was relaxed and everything around was beautiful. I knew that I've chosen the best place I could. And I wanted to think deeply about it.
T+ 2:30 - So, I laid in the grass, closed my eyes, and I saw some transparent geometry, then some cute kitten faces. I thought that was the time to see the psychedelic world, but when I looked to the tree crown and around, everything seemed normal. Only with the eyes open barely and looking in the distance, I saw as if the trees were dancing and laughing, but as I opened my eyes back again fully, just the same old reality, visually and mentally.
T+ 3:00 - I ate a melted chocolate bar. It was the best thing I've ever tasted, and I was incredibly grateful for it, so I ate everything I had. Except for the milk, which I had for detox if needed (I read that nonsense online). Wonderful time, I felt how special this place is. I connected to the nature. Actually, I even hugged a rock. And it was a hug like no other. I understood that I am even with that rock, no more, no less, and the rock loves me as much as I love the rock.
T+ 3:30 - I continued to explore the meadow, watching insects, rocks, trees, flowers... fully sensible.
T+ 4:30 - In peace, lying on the grass next to the rocks and trees, I started laughing at myself. The writings on the hand, the letter, the amount of food... it just seemed funny.
T+ 5:00 - And by this all, I woke up the child that's been sleeping in me since my early closed childhood. The child that spent years waiting for free time. It felt so real that I lost the filtration of my voice. I started hearing myself as a voice from a record, and then as the child. What a weird way of thinking.
T+ 6:30 - I believe I was able to communicate perfectly the whole time. It was all about just quite conceptual thinking, maybe seeing colors a little more vivid, and the connections between things showing themselves clearly.
T+ 8:00 - I watched an alien-like insect on my hand as I realized that it was almost 5 pm.
I packed everything and went to my mother's house. I felt normal, so I thought it's OK to sleep there. I prepared some things on the table in my room – phone, milk, water, speaker, earphones, diary, the remaining half of the blotter, a bar of chocolate with 250 mg of shrooms in each piece, the pen that I'm currently writing with, and began to write. That was around 6 pm, now we have 7:24 pm.
No one won't text me anymore, even the echoes from the forest died away, so I'm unpausing the music. Ahh...
T+ 9:00, T2+ 0:00 - I'm still feeling the muscle relaxation, mainly in my jaw, but f#ck it, it's 7:32 and I'm starting to eat the chocolate.
T2+ 0:15 - Oh, I'm listening to the "playlists radio". But that's OK, I've been telling myself I was too careful with it. Honestly... I wanted to meet God and now I'm seeing only my siblings playing outside. It’s 7:48 and I'm applying the remaining half, 100 μg LSD on my tongue. This is called... Soul Bomb!
T2+ 0:20 - 7:54, my mother broke into my room, joking that I was in the forest searching for magic mushrooms. She doesn't know anything, yet she's being awkward... I don't feel anything, but I might be a bit stressed after this. Hopefully, no one will disturb me now.
T2+ 0:25 - OMG, it's 7:57 and as I'm looking through the window, I see it. The trees are dancing and branches drifting clearly now. Everything is somewhat normal when I'm looking around, but when I focus on something... WOW! But I ate the second piece of chocolate just a minute ago. Well, I'll give in. I'm going to stare into the trees.
T2+ 0:30 - As I swallow the blotter, things are already crazy. The geometry of the branches just filled my vision with symmetrical texture repetition, like if I was a bee or something. Is this just the chocolate? I had 2 pieces, which means 0,5 g and I'm definitely not having more.
T2+ 0:40 - Now it's 8:12 pm, I'm going into bed, and playing the playlist from the start, but with my earphones. Now, as I lay, I'm going to close my eyes and listen to the music.
(That was the last thing I wrote to my psychedelic diary that day. Yet it all just started. I'm rewriting this 2 months after because I wasn't able to think about it clearly until now. Anyway, here's what happened after I laid in the bed...)
T2+ 1:00 - I really wanted to enjoy the music, but I couldn't. Wood on the walls started flowing, the floor was breathing, and the ceiling light turned into some living, melting jellyfish full of soft colors, although it's just white. All of this at once. It was already dark outside and I started wondering "How long will this be? What if something's wrong and this is the peak of the morning's dose? I can't be like this all day!" And that was the biggest mistake – I started to worry. I was scared. I felt the fear of impending doom.
T2+ 2:00 - External hallucinations showed up. I started to see purple-green tentacles and spiders all over the ceiling. And everywhere around me was this net of purple eyes looking straight into my soul. I almost shi#ted myself from this, so I took the bottle of milk and escaped to the toilet. For a while, it was a magical circle of drinking milk, shi#ting, and trying to see better things than demons, shadow people and other unspeakable horrors. Then it kept getting worse.
T2+ 3:00 - I heard steps in the hall all the time and then my mother screaming in fear that her other child has died. Luckily, my brother was ok, but she kept yelling at him with her most intense, almost devil-like voice. It was around 11 pm, she didn't look for me, but if she found me this high, I wouldn't survive.
T2+ 3:30 - I was in so horrible fear that I questioned what's real. The milk didn't work at all. I didn't even know if I'm still alive, so I created a mantra: "If you're breathing and hearing music, everything's allright." But then, the time f#cking disappeared! I didn't know if I'm breathing, and the music played with minutes-lasting tones or even backward. Time dilation turned into time reversal in no time. Literally no time.
I somehow started to see the music. I think I even saw a new color. In a transition between bloody brown and turquoise, the colors in the middle are red, orange yellow... but I saw it as a whole color that I can't explain. But the transition surely reminds me of the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets' "High Visceral Pt.1" album, which I was listening there. I recommend that btw.
T2+ 4:00 - Anyway, this exploration calmed me down, a triangle with glasses and a stick showed me a top of a pyramid and I, still sitting on a toilet with my head against the wall in compete darkness, saw grass and wheat with shining light all around me. I depersonalized, but soon understood I'm flying. I was thinking about the world, but the only word I remember is the last one: "bzzz". At that moment, I understood I'm a bee. That didn't last long, but it was enough to understand what a bee feels, and I believe that I had to be the bee as I'm allergic to their sting - I've always been scared of them. And after this embodiment, I love them.
T2+ 5:00 - I returned to my body and got the strength to walk back to my bed. On my way there, I saw weird stuff in the mirror for a second, but knew I shouldn't look there, got into my bed and finally fell asleep with purple eyes above me, looking after me like a biblically acurate angel.
I slept maybe 3 hours and woke at 6 am again, with the same feeling as the day before. The only difference is the memory of that day that I'll never forget. I grabbed my psychedelic diary and drew a simple eye looking straight into my soul. Bomb.

Conclusion:
Although I see it as a bad trip now, and it was a challenge to write, it gave me something. At least an understanding and introduction to the psychedelic world and wisdom that LSD isn't always laid evenly. It also gave me determination to explore this better.
Now, after other experiences, I'm sure of this: Don't worry, if you try psychedelics and you're mentally well, not living with your mother like me at that time (lol), they can help you understand this world and your brain. Or yourself, if you still think that's a thing.
Best regards, The Child that wrote this long ago...

MY JOURNEY WITH PSYCHEDELICS

One of my coolest every trips happened in 2016, I was it was my first day coming out of the psych ward after a suicide attempt. Under most circumstances I don't think it would be the most ideal time to have an acid trip. But I'm glad I did have that trip. I dosed myself with either 444-555 ug of blue Buddha tabs. Anyways to get into the trip itself. The come up itself wasn't anything special, it was just a smooth ride into the most blissful and peaceful trip I have ever had. I probably dosed around 7pm, and I was just by myself sitting in the middle of my bed. I started to notice in front me everything was starting to increase in brightness in an angelic way. You could feel the warmth of love coming from what I deemed to be heaven or peace. Now onto the part that was behind me, I had a mirror on the wall above my bed. When I was looking at myself in the mirror, the version of “me” in the mirror would occasionally twitch/glitch and I would see a dark purple and black energy come out of the version of “me”. It wasn’t scary to me anymore so it intrigued me to what that entity that was mimicking me in the mirror was or what it was. Behind me, of which the mirror was, was giving off negative vibes and because of that I deemed the backside “hell”. Now that leaves me in the middle of my bed, sitting perfectly between “heaven” and “hell” or you could also interpret it as Ying & Yang. I sat in the middle of my bed for the entirety of my trip. At some point I noticed that I had subconsciously become Baphomet. I first keyed into this fact when I noticed I kept moving my hands into the “Quod est superius est sicut quod inferius, et quod inferius est sicut quod est superius.” which means “What is above is like what is below, and what is below is like what is above.” state with my left hand pointing upwards to the spiritual plane of existence, well my right hand was pointing downwards to our physical plane. It was so peaceful and mind freeing sitting there with the scale of good and bad being perfectly balanced. I sat in silence for most of the trip, just almost meditating and reflecting on my life and how my actions throughout life lead me to ending up in a ward thus leading me to having this beautiful experience. I decided to try and get some rest when I looked out my windows around 7-8am and was gazing upon the super vibrant green grass and some lovely pine trees. Until I closed the blinds and laid myself down for some rest, the whole experience really helped me at the time, allowing me to climb further out of the deep pit I was in. LSD is a very special compound and it shall be eternally loved .
Hello MrBongSmoke420 ,

Thank you for your submission.

What a beautiful story.. As you mentioned, usually being in a such a bad place mentally is not the best time for a megatrip like this but sometimes you just have to trust the Crystal and I'm glad it had a positive affect on your life.

Love and Light!

HappyHorsey
I'vehoesntly never had a bad trip of LSD, Msuh on the other hand... But no this is of those trips I will for always remember. Just being in the perfect balance of "good and "evil" was so peaceful
I couldn't agree with you more. I find that those less pleasant trips are the ones where more transformation and growing happens.

The Crystal always shows you what you need to see in that moment. Just need to trust the process!

Love and Light!

Am I allowed to post my most intense trip report as well? It's kind of a two parter, as It happened with my friend, and Most of the intense parts of it happened to him during his next trip. But it all ties in to the dose we both took the one night we did it together. I cant spoil too of it but this was to be one of my most interesting trips not so much my trip itself.But what happened to my friends trip when he took 6x less the dose then we both did in his bedroom. Either supernatural or something not quite from this psychical plane came for a visti

In my first lsd experience, I tried 150ug, another brand's paper. I had an unbelievably bad trip. I struggled for hours with fear, restlessness, anxiety. 10 days later, I had the opportunity to try Dr Seuss 100ug papers... On the contrary, I had an incredibly good experience. I have experienced everything a human soul needs in a balanced way. I can clearly say that there is no need for other substances such as Ex, cocaine, etc... I was amazed by the quality, purity and cleanliness of Dr. seuss' papers. After the trip ended, I realized that; The severe depression and bad mood I've been experiencing for months has come to an end. The cloud of negative energy above me has completely disappeared. Here I would like to express my thanks to Dr Seuss. Because it produces a really high quality and useful product. we love you ❤️ @dr_seuss
Hello solardis,

Big thanks for the love and support and I'm so glad that DS has helped you with depression. That's amazing!

My friend, I have a question I want to ask you. 1 month ago, we shopped from my friend's account for the first time. I've never shopped before. This time I want to shop for myself. What can I do?
Hello gigachungus,

Thank you so much for that informative submission.

I absolutely love the way you write and really enjoyed reading it.

" LSD is medicine, not a drug" - I couldn't agree with you more on this one!

My Craziest Trip Ever!!!

It was a Friday, much like many other Friday afternoons that littered my summers back in those days, but differentiated by one key element; this was the Friday that I was headed to see Sound Tribe Sector 9. I sat in the back of my buddy S’s honda accord as we zipped North on the highway and made our escape from the city. At the time, I had no way of knowing just how incredible this same landscape would look when I made my return journey. Well, I had an inkling of how it might look, but there was no way that I could have been able to fully prepare myself for the insanity that was in store that evening. Indeed, even the most experienced psychonaut could not have adequately prepared themselves for the adventure that was about to unfold.
At the time, I had access to a plethora of incredibly potent MDMA products, in various forms, but my favorites were the legendary mints: 200 mg MDMA tablets pressed with 50 mg of MDA as a binding agent; pure magic. I pulled a bag of pills from my front right pocket, gently rolling them across my fingers through the thin layer of cellophane that separated my skin from the wonders within. It was late August, and the early cold snap that rode in on the northeast wind like a banshee that year had caused some of the foliage to don its warmer clothing, the canopies of the trees bleeding from their vibrant summer greens into hues of bright yellows and richer oranges.
“You’re not going to start popping those already, are you?” D asked me from the front seat, gazing longingly at the bag as it drifted gently around the digits of my right hand.
“Maybe I am,” I replied with a coy smile
“No time like the present.”
Although it was a bit early to begin venturing into the realms of the psychedelic, I knew that I had plenty of supplies with me to keep my experience going throughout the concert, and even more waiting for me upon my arrival. A newer friend, C, had provided me with some of the cleanest (tested) and most wondrous LSD that I had ever experienced the weekend prior, and had promised to provide me with 10 tabs at the show. (A quick aside on the quantity; I had a rather devil-may-care attitude regarding LSD in particular in my younger days, and 10 tabs in one go was a regular occurrence for me on any given weekend).
Knowing that I would be able to supplement my roll with a hefty dosage of LSD, I applied this same devil-may-care attitude to my usage of MDMA on this particular evening. I grabbed a blue bowling ball from the bag and broke it in half, placing one half under my tongue and passing the other up to D.
“Well, fuck it I guess” he laughed, popping his half and washing it down immediately.
D wasn’t much for the taste of MDMA, but I found there to be something romantically self destructive about holding it under my tongue, gritting against the harshly beautiful chemically induced burning sensation as I felt it dissolve and slip through my mucus membrane and into my bloodstream; like bird dive bombing its way back to earth after catching that perfect jet stream into the sky. Passing ships, the bird goes down, and I float upwards. Eventually, I took a swig of the bottle of dark spiced rum I had hidden under the driver's seat, reveling in the warmth that filled my stomach as the first inklings of MDMA began to radiate throughout my extremities. We arrived at the theater shortly thereafter, and I took one more swig of rum for good measure before distributing mints to the rest of my crew and heading inside.
The opening act was subpar at best, but it didn't matter to me. There is a certain lightness that I experience on MDMA that is coupled with an odd intensity to the energy, like a balloon attempting to drift through a thunderstorm. I bounced and jived with the music, trying my hardest not to pop along the way. Flashes of joy reverberated as the warmth in my center intensified, and I had the strangest feeling that if I had wanted to, I could have either partied all night, or slept for hours. The opening band finished their set, and it was during the lull leading up to the main act that I managed to work my way from the balcony to the floor and locate C. After the obligatory hug and pleasantries, he quickly dug out my desired foil package, and pressed it firmly into the palm of my right hand.
“There it is, sunshine in a bag” he half whispered to me as I unfolded the satchel and gazed at the majesty of my prize. Glorious, fractal blotter, dosed at what I believed to be 125 ug of some heavy hitting L. Without thought or hesitation, I proceeded to flip the satchel directly into my mouth, rolling the strip around and around before beginning to chew it to a fine pulp. I know, some of you may judge me for my choice of ingestion, but as I mentioned earlier, the devil may care… The mints had to have taken me inside of my own head during this fleeting yet important moment, for when I looked back over to C, he was staring at me incredulously, a dumbfounded smile creeping across his face.
“What? You know I like to go hard” I said, slapping him on the shoulder, assuming that his shock came from watching me wolf down a 10 strip like a piece of fruit stripes gum. He nearly busted at the sides from an uproarious bellow of laughter, doubling over to hold his knees and keep himself from collapsing entirely.
“What??” I asked again, taken back by his reaction
“Just don't come crying to me when you’re still flying a week later, man” he managed to spit out through fits of hilarity.
I’ll spare the finer details of the remainder of the conversation, but it turns out that these tabs were actually miced at 1000 ug, not 125… a fact that C would probably still insist to this very day he had previously shared with me. A range of emotions ran through my mind as I considered what I had just unknowingly done to myself. 10,000 mics… the legendary, Jim morrison at the whiskey a go-go, 10,000 mic dose. If I hadn’t chewed it all like a fool, I likely would have begun spitting paper into the air while furiously looking for a beverage to try and rinse out my mouth, but there was no turning back now. Buy the ticket, take the ride, and what a ride it was about to be.
I calmed myself down, and again, foolishly, thought that I could tune out the possibility of any negative vibrations by indulging in a larger quantity of mints. No one can have a bad trip when they're on ecstasy, afterall, right? I wasn’t sure who I was trying to convince as I crunched another blue bowling ball between my teeth and found my group on the balcony above. I neglected to mention the outrageous amount of L I had ingested when I found them again, best not to scare the children, I told myself, it’ll work itself out, however it does.
The remainder of the show was a wonderful blur of sound and light, and strangely enough, the heavier elements of my trip didn't begin to occur until well after the music had ended. I had some mild open eye patterning, and heavy light distortion as well, but beyond that, it seemed like a fairly normal LSD experience. If I focused on the band's light display, and then quickly looked at the wall, tracers would blend into the patterns that were swirling in the wallpaper, but it wasn't anything with which I was unfamiliar. Once we got back in the car however, the situation began to develop rapidly.
We got back onto the highway to return to the city, and I remembered that precious bottle of rum I had stowed for safe keeping. I thoroughly enjoy a good drink at the height of a psychedelic experience, so I attempted to reach down under the seat and pry the bottle free for a nice little tipple. As I stuck my hand down between my knees, I realized that I could see what looked like my own arm, reaching down from the ceiling of the car. I immediately withdrew my hand, slightly frightened by the intensity of the visual hallucination, but more so amused than anything else. I decided to repeat this experiment and see if the effect continued, and sure enough, it did. I spent what felt like the next hour, but in reality was likely less than a few minutes, extending my various limbs into different areas of the back seat and watching as they portaled out of a different area of the car. Eventually, D noticed my unusual behavior.
“What the fuck are you doing?” he asked jokingly from the front seat.
I wanted to reply that I was portaling my limbs through the back of the car, but I was finding it harder and harder to communicate with each passing moment, so I mumbled back something along the lines of
“Nothing man, enjoying the ride” apparently this was enough to dissuade further questioning, as it seemed like the conversation ended there. S threw on some Grateful Dead, a band that has always been near and dear to my heart, and as I looked back out the window, I realized that the receding city skyline had transformed itself around me. Every building’s windows were lit with bright, neon colors, akin to the aurora borealis. The higher floors ebbed and flowed like waves, snapping back and forth as the auroras in the windows changed color to the music.
I pressed my face to the glass to get a clearer view, and when I reached my hands up to touch the pane, I noticed that the same light that I was seeing in the windows seemed to be pooling at the tips of my fingers. I fell back into my seat, staring at my hands, each finger now made of a distinct, flowing color of light. As I moved my fingers back and forth, the light cascaded from each finger tip as a liquid, spilling into the ocean of open space around me and slowly filling the car. It wasn't until the cab was about half full that I realized that I could no longer hear the music from the speakers; rather, the music was actually coming from the inside of my palms. Each light finger became an instrument that I could “play” by waving the finger in a certain motion, and the resulting music was itself this strange liquid that was pouring out of me. I slowly composed a symphony as the incredible light/liquid/music spilled out of my hands and filled the remainder of the car. It felt warm, like slowly descending into a perfectly drawn bath. I was in heaven, immersed in a pool of pure sound energy, unable to do anything but continue playing with the elements. It wasn't until a passing emergency vehicle ripped by on the opposing side of the highway that things took a turn for the worse…
The violent nature of the flashing lights and sirens immediately killed off the symphony, and the liquid drained through the bottom of the car. I could feel the warmth leaving with it, and suddenly, I felt incredibly cold, as if I had instantly sobered from my MDMA. I began to shiver as the sky outside the car turned a sickly shade of red.
“Are you alright?” I heard from the front seat.
“I’m… I’m cool” I lied, looking up from my hands to see not my friend D asking about my well being, but a beast whose nature I will find difficult to put into words. All of my companions had morphed from their human selves into, for the purpose of explaining my experience, what I will refer to as “fire wolves” Their faces looked like wild dogs, with exoskeletons made of a strange, reddish sinew. Their eyes glowed like hot coals, and their translucent skin revealed pools of molten metal flowing through their veins. I recoiled in horror and tried my hardest to close my eyes, but I was either no longer in control of my eyelids, or had fallen into a complete, out of body state in my experience. I couldn't shut my eyelids, nor could I look away. I gazed in mute horror at the monsters around me, fiendishly hoping against hope that I could snap back to the aquatic composition stage and out of this hellish nightmare.
At this stage, time becomes irrelevant, but I will try my hardest to accurately place the remainder of my trip on a lucid timeline. The car transformed into a carriage of sorts, with molten horses pulling us down a rickety cobblestone highway. The sky rained fire and brimstone, and although I fancied myself paralyzed by fear, apparently I began screaming in incomprehensible tongues, likely trying to articulate the madness that had overtaken me. Eventually, we made it back to our hometown, but my companions knew that they could not leave me back at my own house, nor could they leave me alone. (Another quick note here, if you ever decide to take yourself down a similar path, with a similar dose, make sure that you’re surrounded by the kind of folks that I was lucky enough to be with that evening. I shudder to think what might have happened had I not been with companions whose first thoughts were helping me brave the psychedelic firestorm into which I had so recklessly thrown myself.)
I recall being parked outside of D’s ex-girlfriends house briefly, a location at which D was able to acquire some 2 AM benzodiazepines in order to try and return me to a level of sanity at which I might be able to form an english sentence (DISCLAIMER, I do not personally endorse the use of benzos, and do not recommend providing them to an individual in whom you cannot be certain of avoiding any negative drug interactions; indeed, I do not recommend providing them to any individual in any non-medically controlled circumstances. Buy the ticket, take the ride, don't try and shove someone out of their seat with a competing chemical and hope for the best). Regardless of my feelings on the matter, the next situation that I can clearly recall is being parked behind the local hospital, our usual late night toking location. I was in control of my actions enough to not be babbling incoherently at this point, but not enough to have a conversation.
I stared into the forest preserve across from the lot, watching as the trees grew in front of my eyes. Slowly, the infrastructure of modern society began to crumble as the forest reclaimed what was once rightfully hers. The foliage spread across all of the cars and buildings in the surrounding area, crumbling them into nothingness as the trees grew ever taller. The sun and moon rocketed in a circle of light, rising and falling ever faster as I watched 1000 years pass before my eyes, before the trees became too tall to see the sky. The forest grew and grew, until I could no longer comprehend if I were still alive, or if I had been psychically transported beyond all space and time. I managed to finally close my eyes, and when I looked out the window again, the forest had returned to its usual state. I grabbed the half smoked pipe that was being passed around in a circle and ripped the remainder of the cannabis in one hit, the pungent clouds lulling me back into what I perceived was some semblance of reality.
The remainder of my evening was spent in a local friend's basement, slapping away creeping patterns and attempting to rest my weary mind. This tale could go on, and I have in fact written nearly 400 pages detailing all of the sordid specifics of this experience, if anyone might care to further dive down the rabbit hole of what a 10,00 mic trip entails, but for now, I’ll leave you with this thought: ALWAYS be aware of the ug of your blotter before diving in head first, ALWAYS make sure that you’re surrounded by good people if you choose to dive in anyways, being well informed and filled with the same reckless abandon of a young me, and NEVER assume that, even with a tolerance, your psyche can handle whatever dose you are about to throw its way.
Thankfully, my ending was a happy one, but it very well could have spiraled off in a thousand directions, along with my mind. The moral of the story is, it only takes one fucking fire truck to turn the most indescribably wondrous, self composed journey through the nature of light and sound, into an objective nightmare, and prepare as you might, there is no accounting for the unknown; There is no preparing for that ethereal edge that we cannot describe, for those who have seen it have all but gone over, and there is no way to take less when you chew up a sheet of L and wash it down with a large hit of MDMA.
Who knows, if you walk this path, you may have the time of your life. Me, I’m still trying to suss out just what the fuck it was that happened to me on that August night at that sound tribe concert. Part of me may never know. Part of me thinks it's for the best that I cannot fully recall what happened. And part of me wonders just how close to the edge I can return with the 3.0 before the light turns to darkness… I suppose there is only one way to find out. Buy the ticket, take the ride…. Until that day, I’ll continue to search for answers, hoping to get shown the light in the strangest of places, if I look at them right.

MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF LSD

Acid made me a better person.

I have had bipolar and borderline personality disorders basically my whole life and very bad depression.

Only about a year ago, I was at my heaviest weight, 110kg. I was working a minimum wage factory job. I hated myself, every day on my way to work I was thinking about curving to a pole and just ending it all.

A couple of my friends asked if I had ever done lsd. I said no but I'm curious to try. That first experience with them was nightmare, I was just thinking how they see me or think about me. Then I decided to try it alone and it was the most life changing experience ever. I finally saw colors bright again and felt like I was a kid with no problems in the world. After that trip I started to do low dose trips every 3-4 weeks and do some microdoses occasionally. The lessons and healing I received during these trips, saved me from myself. I realized that I shouldn't hate myself, I should love me. I have hated myself ever since I was a kid, like my earliest memories I was already self loathing. But I'm an intelligent person (or think so), and kind to everyone I meet. Why should I hate myself?

Since that first trip, I have lost over 30kgs. I ended up becoming much more healthier because of my psychedelic experience. I moved to a bigger city and got a job with 3 x the pay from the factory job. I work out for fun, which is still confusing to me. It helped me address trauma I wasn't even consciously aware about. I feel genuinely happy for the first time in my life. I started school again and will be trying to get a bachelor's degree. You're never too old to study. I have money saved for the first time in my adult life.

I think its important to remember the risk of psychedelics while having mental health problems. I believe that if you respect the medicine and wont abuse it, you can use it to see your bad habits/treats and start to fix them. With my Journey with LSD I'm now sure I won't need to try any other acids than the Doctor's. Especially DS 3.0 has treated me with love and healing energy. After every trip with this medicine I lose all my stress and anxiety - mostly according to my current job in which I work with young people who are in their first job. My task is to help them to manage in this system where you need to be productive individual to the harsh society. All my trips and some microdosing have helped me to be a link between youth and adulthood with those wonderful young people. Without trying LSD I would be still struggling mostly with my bipolar disorder which nearly left me disabled to enjoy life or being a person what I truly am. Now I can help others managing in life I almost lost.

Love and blessings,
Acidrop

Notice: I posted this already in tripipedia with some typos since I had no working link on Dread. Fixed some typos here and added few important things. Apologies for my poor english.

It makes me so glad to LSD has helped you and you have spread the love to people around you.

When it comes to 500ug trip, I would highly advice having a tripsitter present. Even when you feel ready for such a high dosage, there is a lot of comfort having someone "who knows" when things get too overwhelming.

Sending you loads of love and thanks again for all of these excellent submissions!

Love and Light!

I don't know how you guys are going to decide. I think I've read every tale of transformation in here and they're all so well written. All in all, this whole contest has been a personal reminder of why I work with these medicines and why I'm educating myself to be an advocate and facilitator in this space. Cheers yall!
MY CRAZIEST TRIP EVER!!!:

Yoooo, what's up, guys? Today I'll show you the craziest trip I ever had. I also explained it in a review I did a long time ago, but hey, in this one, I'll explain myself better and give more context about the stuff. So, let's get into it!

Okay, guys, so the thing is, on that same night I was going to sleep at my girlfriend's (she's now my ex :c) house – well, not her house, but kind of her garage with some friends. We'll call these friends Donny (a gay boy), Lana (a girl), and Lola (my ex). These are just random names for opsec, heh. So, around 9 PM, I ate a kebab and stuff, and then at 10 AM, I took 200ug of LSD. In about 30 minutes, that stuff already hit me. I felt so horny (I DON'T KNOW WHY, GUYS, BUT I FELT SO HORNY BECAUSE OF THE LSD), and well, you know, I started doing things with my ex – NOT SEXUAL THINGS, just, you know, things. And my dumbass thought it would be fun to take another 200ug blotter. So, boom, my ass at like, I don't know, 11 PM, was already high on 400ug of LSD. They realized I took another blotter, so they were asking me if I took another one, and I just wasn't able to say anything, I don't know why. I started saying "huh" because my ass wasn't capable of saying anything. So, after a little while, I don't know, around 30 minutes, they started asking me math questions. AND I DON'T KNOW HOW, but I remember I got all of them right. Like, I'm not even good at math, but I got all the answers right. Anyway, I was chilling, okay, watching a FUCK TON of fractals everywhere. Everything was fucking breathing, everything was alive. And randomly, I DON'T KNOW WHY, the neighbor of my ex came to the garage and started saying we were making loud noises with chairs. And, NOPE, WE FUCKING WEREN'T! We just had those crappy camping chairs and we didn't move them, lmao. So, he came back quite a few times, and we got scared, so we called my ex's dad, and he told us not to open the door. Oh yeah, we had to go downstairs and then back up, and we saw the neighbor in the dark. AND I SWEAR TO GOD, I saw him with red eyes, lmao. It was so scary and fun at the same time. So, when I came back to the room and laid down, I started watching weird stuff that I remember now. I remember there was a blue thing and an orange thing. They were like creatures, and the blue one was skinny and tall, and the orange one was fat and small. It was cool, but I wasn't just lying down doing nothing. I WAS FUCKING MAKING OUT WITH MY GF. And I swear to god, I don't even remember making out with her. It was crazy, bro. I was like in another fucking dimension, lmao. So, me and the friends wanted to get some snacks from a vending machine that was like 200 meters away. I don't know how I managed to put on my shoes and go buy some stuff, but I did. We got snacks and came back. Then I don't know why, my ex and the girl were comparing their boobs, and I was so confused. Because back then, I completely lost track of how fast time was going. And casually, I just remember my ex was saying if we wanted to have sex. And, bro, I don't know how that girl even put up with me when I was in that tripping state. I swear to god, sometimes I didn't even know where I was. So, yeah, we didn't have sex. But the next day, we went to her house, and I met her parents and stuff. I took a shower, and the effects were still on me, I don't know why. So, the parents of my ex went out to buy some pizzas or something for lunch. And well, I got a little bit horny AGAIN, and then I was already able to know what I was doing. And, uh, we both got a little bit horny in bed and stuff. And BOOM, the fucking father opened the door, and he caught us in action, lmao. It was kinda funny since that dude made fun of me later when we were having lunch.

So, yeah! That was my craziest trip ever. I hope you loved it! See you later, guys!

LSD

First things first... what can I say?

Psychedelics are like life itself. Raw.

They can take you to the highest absolute happiness, and also to the deepest hell, but you ALWAYS learn something from them. Even in a challenging trip

Bad trip? Why is it called a bad trip? Its proper name should be a challenging trip.

Like reality, which is sometimes also challenging. But what is reality... your reality?

With psychedelics, you can reach states of consciousness that you can only reach through meditation... they're like hacking the brain, they're the key that opens a world previously hidden from you. It's like stepping out of Plato's cave. And much more immediate and easily accessible. Is it cheating compared to meditation? Well, it depends on how you look at it. Is driving a car cheating compared to walking?

In this aspect, for me, it's like a tool, just like a car, a hammer, or the stone that an Australopithecus used to hit, are tools too. Is cooking food cheating, and should we all be raw foodists? (With respect to raw foodists, greetings)

Why have the (mis)information media demonized LSD and other psychedelics to the point that most people fear them and don't dare to try them? Because they make you see the world in a more critical, wild way, and they open your consciousness and perception, something that doesn't interest big corporations, bankers, and magnates.

Yes, the world is governed by militarized countries; the money and power of those in charge won't allow psychedelics to be well-received. Can you imagine television supporting and encouraging the use of LSD and other psychedelics? Praising their virtues instead of demonizing them? Legalizing them and having advertisements in pharmacies, similar to how there are advertisements for homeopathy? The world would change for the better, I'm sure. I'm sure there would be a global shift in consciousness and there would be much more kindness, understanding, empathy, innovation, creativity, revolution, and I even dare to add that capitalism would end, and together we would start another new and better economic system.

Well, let's see... I might be exaggerating, but dreaming is free.

Because yes, LSD and other psychedelics provide mental assistance. They help you see yourself and your surroundings in a different, more open way. They help you discover yourself and aspects of life you didn't know. They assist with mood, insecurities, fears...

Even with if not the greatest, one of the greatest fears of human beings, the fear of death. This is the reason for the creation of countless religions, sects, and powerful groups that have controlled and shaped a large part of society. That inherent fear that every human being has experienced from an early age. Have a trip with ego death, and I assure you that, if it doesn't disappear, that fear will decrease."

No, they won't "save" you, they won't fix your existence or eliminate all your problems, but they help you have a different perspective on things.

Because LSD and psychedelics are exactly that, a aid to seeing the world through different eyes.

Of course, being such a powerful tool, it also requires responsibility.

I wouldn't want to write this without addressing this point because we need to be realistic. Like anything else, it can lead to addiction. Not physical addiction, but psychological addiction, but addiction nonetheless. Just like macaroni and cheese or playing Tetris. While their "addiction potential" is relatively low compared to other "hard" drugs, sex, or gambling, it's something to consider and space out high doses over time to avoid tolerance and not become obsessed with consumption. Yes, it helps, but you shouldn't become dependent on it.

Let's keep dreaming, what if LSD were legalized and available in pharmacies? Or taking it further, what if a new leader mandated that all adults over 21 take LSD in a controlled environment? In a way, not everyone is "suited" to consume LSD, but... why? Could it be due to the bad reputation aided by the war on drugs? Perhaps closed-minded people seemingly far from LSD, without curiosity towards psychedelics, might appear to have a challenging trip, but... what if that's not the case? What if LSD could actually help them open their minds and not close themselves off to new situations, helping them step out of their comfort zone?

Because that's what LSD does, it makes you step out of your comfort zone. It heightens your senses, making your brain function faster, forming new neural connections. And stepping out of your comfort zone can be difficult at times, but always rewarding.

And Well, wrapping up, what does this writing have to do with “MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF LSD”...? Everything. Just read between the lines. LSD and psychedelics have great potential to mentally help people, and even though studies with psychedelics were prohibited in the 60s, new studies being conducted nowadays demonstrate their potential, and "scientifically" there is much progress ahead.

Long live LSD!

MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF LSD

Since as long as I can remember, my life had been fraught with ill-health. I grew up in a very fractious household – where I was left uncared for and unwatched for days at a time.

When I was three years old, I had been left in my parents house alone for a day and a night. I was hungry and very sad. I remember toddling around the house for hours on end in a miserable state – hoping someone would hear my cries and come and feed me. After several hours of this I managed to open one of the kitchen cupboards, and found something to drink. I remember struggling with the bottle lid for a long time. I eventually got the lid off, and drank from the bottle. It tasted sharp and hurt my mouth, I drank about half the bottle before I started to convulse and shake and vomit. Of course, the bottle wasn’t milk – it was kitchen cleaner.

The next thing I remember was being sat on my mothers lap in an ambulance while EMT’s tried to force a pipe down my throat. I passed out again, and woke up to sitting over a bowl in the hospital throwing up a red liquid I assume must have been blood.

I don’t have many memories that my conscious mind will let me access after that. I do remember many hospital visits and a lot of ill health.

My next memory was going to the dentist when I was ten, they pulled six of my teeth out – I don’t know why. It was after this visit that I remember my first migraine. It crippled me with pain and I collapsed on the floor that evening in my room, and lay there unable to move or ask for help until my father found me the next morning.

Over the next few years the migraines grew worse, and I was taken to the hospital to have tests. The doctors didn’t really know what to make of the migraines, but they noticed that I had sinus infections and bleeding very often. They presumed it could be due to excess pressure in my head due to the infections. They did surgery on my sinuses and face three times over the next decade or so, each time the pain got worse each time they operated.

The operations also gave me scars and made me look more ugly than thought I was already. My life was miserable, but I tried to continue to do my best to inspire myself with some semblance of joy. I remember some sunny days I used to go walking in the woods with my dog, or climb a big oak tree with my cat as she tried to sneak up on the wood pigeons.

After the third surgery, the doctors put me on SSRI’s to stop the migraines. While this did help the pain, somewhat, it gave me side effects that were worse than the migraines.

I gave up on the SSRI’s and western medical science after that. I did everything I could to try to tackle my health problems – I changed my diet, I went for all kinds of alternative medicinal therapies, which was a real drain on my meager finances. Nothing helped. At the end of my rope, I found some advice on a reddit thread about some LSD trials with migraines in the 1960’s. I tried to find more information but I ran into road blocks. Trials were started but short lived, when LSD was made a schedule one prohibitted substance.

I eventually ran into MAPS studies with cluster headaches and LSD – I thought this was worth investigating, but I had no access to LSD, and I was so discouraged by every other “cure” I had read about, that I didn’t hold out much hope for this either.

A few years later, I was given half a tab of Dr Seuss LSD by a girlfriend of mine on one of our first dates. It was the first time I had taken any psychedelic – and the experience was wonderful. I felt parts of me that had not been allowed to surface for years, finally being able to take a breath.

Now up until this point, I had been having one or two 24-48 hour migraines every week for 22 years solid. After taking half a tab of LSD, I didn’t have a migraine for six weeks in a row.

This was the best 6 weeks of my life. I was pain free, and really came out of my shell. I couldn’t believe that the cure for my condition had been known (and suppressed) for so many years on end, while I, and others like me had been left to suffer.

I then taught myself to use the darkweb to obtain more LSD, and have been able to tackle migraines successfully ever since. While it has only been four years, and my life has taken some very dark turns in the meantime – I am physically well, and for that I am truly grateful. I have lost my son, my mother, and many other things in the past few years – but I have gained wellness and vitality -and spiritual awakening that I could never have dreamed of in my previous life.

Thank-you from the bottom of my heart, for you have shown me care, even though you don’t know me. I am forever in your debt.

Sup everyone! Pretty stoked for the doc and his team to have achieved this milestone. I hope you guys will keep getting much success because you all deserve it so much!
This competition seems pretty cool and i'll give it a try cause why not?

>Medicinal benefits of LSD
So without going into too much unnecessary details and telling my whole life story, i've had a pretty rough life, had alot of misfortunes and bad shit that happened to me, dealt with alot of bullshit, etc etc... From a personal point of view, i think psychedelics have helped me alot to deal better with my mishaps/misfortunes/whatever and grow as a whole as a person. It has definetely helped me not to snap and committing something(s) i might've regretted for the rest of my life, it has helped me become a better version of myself, it has deepened my outlook on everything and nothing, it has sharpened my way of reasoning, made me even better at controlling my emotions, raised and sharpened my ability to question everything around me and to be more in the now. I mean i could go on and on and on, i think it honestly made me a better person because i choose to and that because psychedelics seems to point me in directions in which there is growth to be done. This is how psychedelics have helped and healed me. They helped me mature and enhance alot of skills which does contribute to making my life quality better.
I honestly wish to live in a world where psychedelics aren't considered as much as a dangerous/horrible/criminal/insert bullshit label thing and are actually respected for their potential to help a person change/grow without the harm and the unnecessary fees that some other routes may lead to.


>My journey with psychedelics
I've been smoking weed regularly since i was 16(currently in my 30's) and i remember when i was a teenager that i always had a bit of curiosity about drugs. I remember finding Erowid and looking shit up. It's been a thing for a long time for sure. I think what made me first want to try anything was for the sake of curiosity. I am a pretty curious person.

First time i did psychedelics was in a weird context. I was in one of my many bad periods in life. Let's just say that alot of shit happened and i was in a pretty stagnant situation where it seemed like i was stuck in a dead end. So it was during Christmas holiday, i remember i had asked alot of people about doing shrooms or if they know where to find some and everyone seemed willing to do some or whatever but nothing ever happened.
One day, a friend i hadn't spoken in a long ass time randomly started chatting me up on MSN Messenger. Told him my current situation and he proposed to drive like over a hour to come pick me up and told me i could stay at his place for a week.
When he picked me up, the first thing he asked me was if i was down to do some shrooms once we were back at his place. It was amazing cause i didn't expect my friend would fuck with shrooms and i had been looking to try some for a long time.
Anyways long story short, had a pretty amazing trip, had a weird moment of connection with 2 friends, lotsa giggles, euphoria, etc... then i had an epiphany about the soul.
Then i got into doing shrooms and it really opened me up to spirituality, history, metaphysics, esotericism/occultism, weird shit in the realm of science, mysteries, etc...
It definetely made me explore the subject of one's relationship to existentialism, cultivate some spirituality, made me hungry to learn where we come from as a species and everything surrounding all the infinity that exists within existence. LSD definetely pulled me into the other direction, sharpened my logic/rational thinking abilities, made me more skeptical towards everything be it people or claims/statements, taught me to just let go and not to take everything and everyone so damn seriously.
Psychedelics definetely taught me alot about myself and the world around me. I think it definetely enhances and gives depth to anything. Kinda like using a magnifying glass and soaring over the endless aspects of one's one mind/psyche
I think that a tool has the ability to be used in any way you want but there are ways to use tools in the most optimal ways to suit whatever needs you need to meet. I see psychedelics in this optic, it amplifies everything that is happening in the "now" of a tripper. They have the ability and potential to provide so much good.

>My craziest trip ever
I have 2 can think on top of my head.
One was this one time i was with a friend, i did 8Gs if shrooms and he did 4. He called one of his friend so that his friend would kinda "tripsit" us because he didn't do shit, brought a backpack with water bottles and stuff so that we can chill deep in a forest.
While we were on our way to the spot, my friend was in front of me and his friend was behind me and they kept doing this stupid high pitched noise that kept making me laugh so hard to the point i was begging them to shut the fuck up at the end.

When we arrived at the spot, my friend who ate 4Gs, still didn't have anything going on and i was blasted so fucking hard. My friend and his friend started setting up a fire and i was looking everywhere cause i was seeing so much insane shit that words are kind of hard to use to describe some of the shit i saw. I remember at one point i walked in front of this huge tree, looked above me to look at said tree and the tree seemed like it was warping above me instead of going straight up(it was fucking wild). When i'd be looking at tree branches, they'd be interlocking in between each other forming geometrical shapes and patterns.
At some point where both friends got the fire going, i just started staring into it and was totally immersed into the spectacle. Every single flames where dancing, every flames seemed to have a partner and followed a nice flowy rhythm. It wasn't like everything was moving erratically, it was just fucking gorgeous, i've never paid attention to a fire before but under 8Gs of shrooms it sure was a sight to behold.

I'll try to summarize this one because i feel like that i already wrote a damn wall of text.
So this one time i did 2 tabs of 1CP-LSD, went to my usual tripping spot by the shore at the end of a natural park. Started smoking a joint when i arrived at the end of the park just by the short. As i was finishing my joint, i see a floating and pulsating ball of light at proably 300 meters away from me. The thing is barely floating above water, isn't moving and is just pulsating and it's intense.
I started taking pictures and a couple of views and i stood there watching it for 45 minutes before it slowly went underwater and came back up 5 minutes later then left for good 5 minutes after.
Then to top it all, a cop car show up, both cops get out of the car and start asking me questions. I start telling them what the fuck just happened for the last 45 min and they start asking me if i had taken drugs and being straight up a bunch of smart asses with their shit eating grins and stupid platitude until i started showing them the videos and pictures i took.
Then they got all serious, told me to get out of the park and 15 min later as i was getting out of the park, another cop car pulled in, the other one that intercepted me still hasn't came back and the other car seemed to go reach them.
It was quite a pretty surreal experience.


Long live psychedelics, long live the Tribe!

MEDICINAL BENEFITS OF LSD

Chapter 1: Healing the Scars of the Past

My journey with LSD opened a door to healing I never thought possible. It wasn't just about the mind-bending experiences; it was about confronting and overcoming the childhood trauma that had haunted me for years.

Childhood trauma, with its invisible chains, can shackle a person's soul well into adulthood. Those memories had become a part of me, and their weight held me back from living a fulfilling life. LSD, with its uncanny ability to dissolve the barriers of the mind, presented a unique opportunity to revisit those haunting memories with fresh eyes.

Under its influence, I found myself peeling back layers of emotional armor that had shielded me for so long. It was as though I could finally face the demons of my past without being overwhelmed by fear or pain. With the guidance of a skilled therapist, I delved deep into those buried traumas, allowing me to process and release the emotional burdens that had weighed me down.

Chapter 2: From Solitude to Sociability

For someone who had struggled with social anxiety and found it difficult to connect with others, the transformation LSD brought to my social life was nothing short of astounding. The substance seemed to dissolve the barriers that had hindered meaningful social interactions. It was as if I had been given a magical key to unlock the secrets of human connection.

Under the influence of LSD, my empathy blossomed, and I felt an unspoken connection with people I interacted with. The subtleties of human communication became vivid, and I could navigate the intricate dance of social interaction with newfound ease. Barriers fell, isolation receded, and genuine connection became not just a possibility but a reality.

The ripple effect of this change extended beyond my personal experiences. As I shared my transformed perspective with others, it was clear that LSD had the power to foster greater compassion and empathy within society. It broke down stereotypes and prejudice, emphasizing our shared humanity. The more people experienced this transformation, the more compassionate and understanding our world became.

Chapter 3: Illuminating the Shadows of Depression

Depression had cast its long shadow over my life, a darkness that traditional treatments had struggled to dispel. LSD, however, held the promise of a new dawn in my battle against this insidious condition.

Under the influence of LSD, my mood underwent profound shifts. The relentless cycle of self-criticism and rumination, which had plagued me for so long, was finally disrupted. I experienced a deep sense of interconnectedness with the world, a stark contrast to the isolation that had characterized my depression.

But the benefits went beyond just mood enhancement. My physical symptoms, particularly stomach cramps, which had been a constant companion of my depression, began to fade away. The relief from this physical discomfort significantly improved my overall sense of well-being.

Chapter 4: The Next Chapter of Healing

My personal journey with LSD has been a transformative odyssey, one that continues to unfold. While I am profoundly grateful for the healing it has brought into my life, I must emphasize that LSD should be approached with caution and respect. Responsible use, under the guidance of trained professionals, in controlled settings, is paramount.

As my experiences have shown, the medical benefits of LSD are a ray of hope in the realm of mental health. As scientific research advances and the stigma around psychedelics diminishes, the potential for this remarkable substance to alleviate suffering and promote positive transformation becomes increasingly clear.

In a world where mental health challenges are all too prevalent, LSD offers a beacon of hope - a reminder that, even in the darkest depths of despair, there exists a path towards healing, understanding, and a brighter tomorrow. As my personal journey continues, I carry with me the conviction that, through responsible exploration of the mind, we can unlock the potential for profound change and healing within ourselves and our society.

And now, with newfound optimism, I embark on another leg of my healing journey, exploring the therapeutic potential of ketamine. It is my hope that this next chapter will lead me to the final destination of mental healing and provide me with the tools to help others find their own path to wellness.
Hey truepotatosalad,

Thank you for this submission too.

I really hope that this sacred crystal will be more widely accepted as a powerful tool that can help people to deal with their mental health struggles one day.

Love and Light!

Hello HappyHorsey,

I share the hope that, as a society, we can overcome the stigma and bias that envelop psychedelics and prioritize the well-being of individuals.
Regardless, I must admin my skepticism about our ability to create a significant impact here, having battled bureaucratic hurdles in areas even less unfamiliar to people.
However, I do hold the belief that by sharing our stories, we may eventually contribute to a possitive change.
In my country, we are already using ketamine to treat depression in selected cases. My close friend was one of the lucky ones to get access to this medicine and it helped her immensely under the guidance of a skilled therapist.

Sending love

My Journey with Psychedelics

To preface this, what has been written here only a summary of what I have experienced and learned, consisting of a variety of musings on my journey with psychedelics and related trip reports. There are an enormous amount of very specific experiences that I have left out as I think it would detract from the overall point of this piece, in addition to the fact that it has already gotten quite long. Feel free to reach out to me if you wish to discuss anything in particular, my door is always open.

The Beginning

My journey began a long time ago, before I had any real access to psychedelics. A friend of mine had procured some salvia extract from a head shop, and had decided to try it out when we were together. I watched him smoke it out of a small bong I had, and very quickly become excited and somewhat incoherent. He rose from his chair and ran to the wall opposite us, exclaiming that there was a door there, appearing totally convinced of this fact. Fascinated, after he came down, I began to ask him about what he had experienced, determined to gain understanding. He had a very hard time putting his experience to words, seeding a deep interest in me that would persist for the rest of my life.

Inspired by this experience, I decided to procure some salvia extract for myself and give it a try. What followed was a series trips at different doses, each very different from the last. They all began with an intense rushing sensation, as if I was being pulled backwards through space. I would start to laugh, smiling uncontrollably. At this point, my perception would shift rapidly in a variety of inexplicable ways. Sometimes the way my brain would perceive objects would change dramatically. In one instance, the lines that defined objects in the world around me became roads. I don’t mean then looked like roads, but actually BECAME them. Other times I would become objects in some related context, like a cactus sitting atop a shelf in a plant store. Or even the apparent direction of gravity would change by nearly 90 degrees, resulting in me holding onto my couch for dear life. Sometimes if the dose was high enough, I would have to close my eyes from the sheer intensity of everything, and would be fully transported to another place and time, having a full sensory experience. In one case, I had been laying on my bed, and was transported to a beautiful outdoor train station. I was laying down on the platform while trains pulled in and out of the station. Everything had somewhat of a sepia tint to it. I could actually hear and FEEL the vibrations of the trains moving by me. The power of salvia never ceased to amaze me. The variations in perceptual changes seemed infinite.

Although these experiences opened my mind to the possibilities, salvia has never given me the consciousness expanding effects of classical psychedelics. At the time, I had no idea what I was missing. Salvia was a fun toy, but I would have no concept of how useful psychedelics could be as psychological tools until later in my life.
Part 2/8

Introduction to LSD and Surrounding Culture

Years later, I had been talking to another friend of mine about understanding the nature consciousness, and I had mentioned my experiences with salvia extract. He was intrigued, asking many questions about my experiences. Some time later, the opportunity to procure some high quality LSD through a mutual friend arose. We purchased and split a sheet of 140ug dosed tabs laid on dancing elephant blotter paper. We had been assured that this was extremely high quality LSD, only learning later how true that was.

After my friend got around to testing the tabs with Ehrlich’s reagent and confirmed to me they are in fact LSD, I decided to give it a try. I was hanging out with my at the time girlfriend, but had decided to give it a go on my own the first time. During the come up, it became apparent that she was upset that I had decided to try it alone. Overwhelmed by anxiety I decided to go outside to think, speak to a friend, and smoke some cannabis. After I calmed down, I was well and truly peaking. I had thought a lot about my lack of recognition for her desire to share this experience with me, as well as her lack of communicating it clearly before getting upset. I went back inside, and began to apologize and share my thoughts with her. What followed was hours of deep and fruitful communication, nothing like I had ever experienced before. Even with just one of us under the influence, everything had seemingly become so much easier for both of us.

The next day I was astounded. How could 140ug of a substance produce such a profound effect? It enabled me to think with perfect clarity, accessing what felt like anything and everything in my mind at will. Where my mind usually felt like a hedge maze, now the maze had been entirely mowed down and I could see for miles and miles. I could approach topics uncomfortable for me and others in an unusually tactical and empathetic way. It had been made extremely apparent to me how useful a substance like LSD could be if used carefully.

The remaining 49 tabs I had were mostly used by me and my girlfriend together, with the exception of of a few trips I had with several of my friends. During this period, I used LSD in an entirely social context. This would change in the last year or two, but the social aspect of LSD use had captivated me in such a way that I did not even consider using it on my own at this time. What I learned from these experiences, as well as ones I had later in life will be discussed in the next section.

Eventually I found myself running low on LSD, and discovered that our source had unfortunately moved away. I knew that I could procure more through the dark net, so I decided to begin to research that avenue before I ran out. I discovered dread, and used the platform to discover the biggest market at the time. I painstakingly went through every US vendor, reading everything I could get my hands on. I had narrowed it down to a few vendors before I saw something that caught my eye. It was a listing for 140ug dosed tabs laid on dancing elephant blotter, exactly what I had before, sold by the vendor TheWhiteLight. I reached out to my old source, and confirmed that this was indeed the same place they had procured their product from. I was amazed by my luck! To find the same amazing tabs again felt like a gift from the universe. I immediately ordered another sheet.

While waiting around for my order in the coming days, I had seen mention that TWL was a vendor on the forum The Majestic Garden and decided to sign up. What I found was an amazing community of like minded individuals discussing psychedelics in a deeply intellectual and fulfilling way. Over time, I participated in the community, learning everything I could about the nature of LSD and the culture that surrounds it. The care and generosity displayed by the people embedded in the LSD community does a fantastic job of showing what psychedelia is about. LSD promotes deep thinking, connectedness, and care for yourself and the other, effects which become obvious in a communal context.

In addition to the community, I was able to try a variety of different LSD crystals of various purities produced by different chemists. This was particularly interesting because many people hold the opinion that each LSD crystal has it’s own sort of character that influences the trip in different ways. While my opinion might get me in trouble with some of you, I have since decided that if there are differences between LSD crystals, it is most likely due to the variance in purity affecting the dosage, as well as a placebo effect introduced by the knowledge that it is a different batch of LSD. An effect of dosage and set if you will. Of course there are people with much more experience than me who disagree, so that that with a grain of salt.

LSD Exploration

LSD has been an incredibly useful tool for exploring and modifying what drives conscious reality. The things that I have learned and experienced have informed much of how I try to live my life and understand the world around me.

Spirituality and Love of Life

Until I began experimenting with LSD, I did not consider myself a spiritual person by any stretch of the imagination. Throughout my journey I have repeatedly experienced a deep sense of oneness with all of existence at every conceivable level, as if every barrier that separates me from the world and myself has disappeared. To say that my cold scientific approach to everything has been eroded would be an understatement. That isn’t to say that I have discarded rigorous reasoning, but a part of me has awakened that has deep irreverence for consciousness and existence that I never had experienced previously. This feeling has made it particularly hard to fall into pits of despair like I had much of my life by enabling me to see the beauty in life and reality. Although I am not religious, I feel as though I have accessed the part of myself that many religious people use to give them comfort. This feeling of love for the opportunity to exist, and awe for that existence. This new level of understanding has reshaped how I handle tough times in a way that is hard to express in words.

Clarity of Thought and Communication

From a purely intellectual standpoint, the thing I value the most about LSD is the clarity of thought it gives. When I take LSD, it feels as though every system in my head that informs my conscious thought and the information therein is freely accessible. Directed thought becomes an issue of managing this increased access, knowing where to look in your mind, and being ready to accept what you find, it is no longer an issue of accessibility. Throughout my journey, I have maintained a mindset of unending curiosity, enabling me to contend with the chaos induced by LSD and the dark corners of my mind in which I have inevitably found myself. To put it simply, it is my willingness to surrender control that has enabled me to maintain it. To be able to look at my naked self and accept it with the simple intention to learn and understand.

The clarity I attain by taking LSD also has an affect on my ability to speak. Many people I have tripped with seem to have a harder time communicating verbally when peaking, but for me it does the opposite. Because my mind is so clear, I am able to find just the right words to enhance my ability to communicate with others. This has been particularly helpful in the context of romantic relationships, where good communication is key for the flourishing of said relationship. A deep sense of synchronicity beyond words is instilled when communicating while under the influence of LSD. Most interesting is that this seems to work even if only one of the people talking are tripping. Many times I have tripped around my parents, friends, and significant others, and had very deep and useful conversations that left us both in a better place.

This ability to connect to and synchronize with the other extends into physical interactions as well. The obvious example here is sex, but even dancing closely with one another can be intoxicating and extremely euphoric. In one particular instance where I was dancing with my significant other, it felt as though we had melted into one another, the barriers of the physical world melting away, exhibiting every facet of what it means to make love without actually having sex.

Changes to Visual Perception

Another fascinating aspect of LSD is the variety of changes to visual perception that occur, and the ability to perceive visual processes that normally remain unconscious. There are of course the reliably reoccurring effects such as colors becoming more vibrant and everything in the visual field being bathed in colorful fractals. There are also many, perhaps more interesting, effects I have experienced that I have only ever seen once. On one occasion when tripping with my partner, I looked at her face and there was what I can only describe as a filter over it. As I thought about it, I discovered that I was able to change the filter and morph her face at will. Another time, on a dose of about 420ug, I was looking at at large mandala tapestry and the mandala began to rotate back and forth, each layer of the pattern rotating in the opposite direction.

During another trip, I decided to go out and smoke some cannabis. It was night time, but I noticed I could see exceptionally well, likely having to do with my pupils being massively dilated. When I went back inside, I could see pockets of red and blue in the darkness that covered my field of vision. I had this inexplicable feeling that I could see the fabric of the universe. As I lay there and stared into the darkness, I saw what appeared to be an oddly shaped curved grid pattern forming, constantly changing, different parts of the grid being emphasized visually in rapid succession. It occurred to me that the curved nature of the lines and how they were intersecting almost appeared like eyes, as if my brain was looking for the eyes of a predator in the dark, trying to match the pattern of eyes on a face to what I was seeing. I realized that I wasn’t seeing the fabric of the universe, but the fabric of the reality generating machine that was my brain. I was watching an underlying process that was always there but ran unconsciously.
Part 4/8

Most Healing Experience

The most useful thing that LSD has done for me has been to permanently release me from crippling depression. I used to have periods in my life where I would wake up and living was so excruciating I would just go back to sleep.

During the peak of my LSD use, I was doing a lot of self work in therapy. It came to a point where I had been making a lot of progress and decided to see where I could get by taking LSD with the intention of furthering my self understanding. After several hours of conversation with my partner, I was peaking intensely and was reminded of my intention. As I thought about what I had been working on in therapy, I began to feel like I could see all the pieces of the puzzle at once. I started to go through various memories, re imagining and reliving them, truly understanding for the first time how they all connected to who I am as a person now. I spent over an hour crying my eyes out, experiencing the deepest possible catharsis that one can imagine.

After I eventually came down, I slept exceptionally well. At first I didn’t really notice that there had been any permanent lasting effect. After all, the afterglow of almost any LSD trip lasts days. But a week went by, then a month, and I did not once wake up with this feeling of existential dread. Since that trip I have never experienced that feeling again. Of course life has it’s ups and down, and this certainly didn’t cure me of all my issues, but that deep feeling of despair that is unrelated to current life goings on is completely gone.

This is why I always tell people who want to use psychedelics for self work to go to therapy as well. Therapy provides a fantastic way to set the stage for real change and is extremely helpful in integrating what you learn permanently.

Most Scary Experience

I have only ever had one experience which some might call a “bad” trip. Me and my partner had each taken 300ug about six hours prior, and were coming down from the peak. I decided I wanted to relax and smoke some cannabis, so we packed a bowl went outside. It was the middle of the night and fairly cloudy. As we smoked, our visuals were greatly potentiated. A nearby brick wall caught our attention. It appeared to have an interesting repeating pattern in the staining of the bricks, one that we had never noticed before. We then looked up at the sky, and the clouds also appeared to be patterned, as if copy and pasted over and over. We finished our bowl and decided to go back inside where we lay down on the bed.

As I lay there, I started to feel overwhelmed by anxiety. The cannabis had potentiated the effects of the LSD, but it had also made it difficult to keep my thinking ordered. I felt as though I was on the edge of ego dissolution. I kept trying to talk to my partner, but felt very disconnected from her, furthering my anxiety. All of a sudden I could see something in my minds eye. A crystal was floating in front of me. It was immediately apparent to me that this crystal represented the connection I felt with my partner. As I looked at it, there was a flash of light, and the crystal shattered violently. It felt as though our emotional connection had shattered with that crystal. My anxiety rose rapidly and I began to panic. I tried to communicate that to my partner, and after some discussion we decided that we had overdone it with the cannabis too early into our trip, and opted to end our trip with a trip killer.

Psychedelics and Cannabis

When I first started taking LSD, I was a smoke every day type of cannabis user. As I stated earlier, the first time I took LSD I smoked on the come up and had a good experience. Over time, this changed, and I started smoking less and less. Around the time when I had my anxiety producing experience, I had been on a cannabis tolerance break, so when I smoked at T+6 I got a lot more than I bargained for.

After several more experiences with cannabis and LSD, I came to the conclusion that while cannabis does potentiate LSD quite a bit, it also gives me a very disordered headspace, making thought loops and general anxiety harder to manage. Being that the headspace is my favorite part of LSD, I now generally avoid this combination. I also recommend practicing caution with this combination to others as for some it can be unpredictable.

These days, when I take LSD, I have a rule that I can’t smoke until T+8 at a minimum, ensuring that I don’t induce undesirable effects and ruin my headspace. I have also observed this effect when combining psilocybin and cannabis, although to a lesser degree.
Part 5/8

Experience with Other Psychedelics

Aside from LSD and salvia, I have tried a variety of other psychedelics, namely psilocybin, DMT, 4-AcO-DMT, 4-HO-MET, and 2C-B, and the psychedelic adjacent empathogens MDMA and MDA. Here is a selection of trip reports and thoughts about my first experiences, some of which have already been published on TMG.

2C-B

I have primarily used 2C-B in a fully recreational context due to it’s relatively light headspace. Here are trip reports describing my first three experiences with the compound.

First 2C-B Experience

The other day I finally found the time to try some of this 2C-B HBr I received from shulginalex as a raffle prize. One of my friends had started tripping earlier in the day (on LSD), and since I had the evening free, I decided join in on the fun. I weighed out about 15mg, put it in a capsule, and took it with some water before promptly going out for a walk. Once outside, we stopped somewhere to get food and walked to a nearby park.

I know that usually when substances are taken orally, it is best not to have a full stomach, but I hadn’t eaten much so I didn’t care. By the time we were done eating in the park I could feel that typical warmth emanating from the core of my body, spreading through my extremities. I started to notice that I could feel even the slightest breeze that would not have normally been perceptible. At this point I started to feel a bit of euphoria.

We decided to head back home. We walked briskly, and as my heart rate rose from the physical exertion I just started feeling better and better. I have never experienced a feeling quite like this as I have still not tried MDMA. When we reached home I was surely peaking. I sat on the couch for a bit, and began touching every surface within reach. My sense of touch was now so acute I felt as though I could see through my fingertips when I touched surfaces, kind of how I imagine a blind person might probe an object with their fingers to determine its identity. I could feel the minutia of every single fiber, ridge, crack, bump, etc. in everything I touched.

I decided to retreat to my room with my partner to enjoy the effects in private. The moment I lay in bed I noticed how incredibly soft my sheets and blankets were. It sent waves of euphoria through my body, and when I closed my eyes and moved around, the feeling of my skin touching the softness of my bed modulated some very interesting geometrical CEVs.

My partner joined me in bed and we began to cuddle. The euphoria from the sheets was dwarfed by the now almost electric sensation of skin on skin contact. One thing lead to another and we had some amazing touchy-feely sex. I must say, I now understand why so many people recommend pairing 2C-B with sex. Even more euphoria and tactile enhancement without the awkward and sometimes downright overwhelming head space of LSD. Usually when peaking on LSD I cannot prevent myself from overthinking everything and sex becomes difficult. This did not happen here.

After we were done, I decided to join my friends in the living room to chat for a bit. I was feeling extra talkative and social. Everything about everything just felt so good. I ended up smoking a bit of cannabis, and I’m glad to report that I experienced none of the negative side effects (anxiety, racing thoughts) that I normally get when mixing cannabis with LSD. I felt on top of the world and nothing could have changed that. When I finally went to bed, I slept like a baby. I was kind of expecting to have residual stimulation keeping me up for hours, but thankfully this was not the case. I also did not experience the heavy body load and stomach discomfort that many describe. Perhaps this is dose dependent?

I must say that I really enjoyed this substance. Although I will probably bump up the dosage next time, I’m glad I stuck with a lower dose for my first time. It allowed me to explore this new substance without being completely overwhelmed. The next time I try it I will most likely take around 25mg, and my partner has stated that they wish to join me in taking some.
Part 6/8

Second and Third 2-CB Experiences

Since writing about my first experience with 2C-B I have tried it on two more occasions.

My second time taking 2C-B, I bumped the dose up to 25mg. This took place about a week after my first experience, and the setting was very similar to the first time. For the first few hours I was sitting on my couch with friends, smoking some cannabis and watching cartoons. After a while, the colors eminating from the TV were so intense that I had to retreat to my room to give my brain a break. It was as if the saturation and brightness had been turned up way past any reasonable level. It was honestly completely overwhelming. I spent the remainder of this trip hiding under the blankets in bed talking, cuddling, and having sex with my partner. The tactile enhancement that I noted in my first report was even more noticeable. It's amazing being able to feel everything in such fine detail, I had no idea my nervous system was even capable of that level of "seeing" through touch. I also did have a bit of psychedelic introspection going on, despite the minimal headspace.

My third and most recent experience was a day before my first MDMA experience. I was going to a party and decided to take about 12-13mg to just give me a bit of a bump. Again, I mixed a bit of cannabis, as well as some (not a lot) alcohol. It definitely made me feel nice and warm, and put me in the mood to be social. I also found myself enjoying so interesting CEVs during the tail end of the night.

In my opinion, 2C-B is amazing for socializing, partying, and sexual experiences. It mixes very well with cannabis, even for someone who gets a lot of anxiety from mixing cannabis and LSD like me. I may one day try dosing 30mg+, but I don’t think it’s necessary, and I probably won’t be mixing it with cannabis at that dosage as I could see that being overwhelming.

DMT

I have found DMT to be very useful in helping me overcome my fears, and is also a generally fascinating compound.

First and Second DMT Experiences

I have just come back from my first experience with DMT. When I say just, I mean I still have residual fractals coming out of everything as I write this.

I have been in possession of several grams of deemzbeemz's beautiful extract for the better part of a year, and have been too afraid to really try it. The rapid onset and complete alteration of reality worried me, and I now realize I have issues with surrendering control.

I have been very stressed as of late, trying to decide on the direction of my life, and decided tonight was the right time to conquer a fear in an attempt to encourage myself. Although I have an APX Volt, I decided to make a DMT cartridge using 0.5g of deemz, and 0.5mL of PG.

I took my first hit and held. My normally unnoticeable tinnitus began to rise in volume, and everything started to seem more colorful. I exhaled and took a second hit. Everything began to vibrate, fractals emerging from everything. At this point I remembered to close my eyes. I was greeted by swirling fractals, unlike any I have seen before, moving in front of a pitch black background. The colors produced by DMT seem much richer than those of other psychedelics I have tried, as if at maximum saturation. I meant to take a third and final hit, but had still not shed my intimidation, so I placed the vape on my lap and exhaled for a second time. As the fractals moved through my field of vision, a space around me began to form. It was as if I was sitting in the middle of a room, perhaps on a podium, surrounded by silhouette figures. Their bodies only discernible from the background by their fractal outlines and slightly darker shade of black. Everything I could see around me was defined at it’s edges by fractals. I began to question, out loud, why I had been so afraid of this experience. All I could feel was love, and all I could see was this beautiful place I had been brought to. I began to cry. Eventually I opened my eyes. I looked at my computer in front of me and could not read the text on my screen. I sat quietly for a few minutes trying to make sense of it all.

DMT had made it clear to me that I am terrified of surrendering control, but that I must do it to continue with my self growth. My inability to surrender control has shown itself many times in my life, creating all sorts of problems. The one and only time when I approached ego death while on 300ug of LSD and some cannabis, I could not bear it, and took a trip killer. I constantly sabotage myself in my daily life, creating situations where I will fail, because the fear of the unknown feels so much more unbearable than knowing with certainty that I will fail. I exert control by failing. NO MORE. I am done being a slave to this feeling. DMT has shown me that letting go of my fear will open many doors for me.

I think I am going to go for another round in a bit and try to get through 3 hits. If I get around to it I will edit my post.

EDIT:

Tried 3 hits. Currently very tired so I'm just going to jot down some notes.

Returned to the same room.
The central figure from my last trip is the only one that appears this time. I forgot to mention in the last report that the central figure was the most defined.
It seems like they are curious about me, checking me out from various angles.
The ringing in my ears is DEAFENING. Almost panicked, had to remind myself to breathe.
My tinnitus is a bit worse, than usual, but seems to be fading with time. Even it it stays this way (which I doubt), it will have been worth it. :)
Part 7/8

Psilocybin and 4-substituted Tryptamines

I always like to ask people about their preference for either LSD or mushrooms. It seems that people usually have an easier time managing the headspace of one or the other. While I do enjoy psilocybin, it never grabbed me the way LSD has. I tend to turn into a messy puddle whenever I take a significant dose of mushrooms.

In regard to 4-substituted tryptamines, 4-AcO-DMT is interesting because it, like psilocybin, is a prodrug of psilocin. As a result, many believe they provide exactly the same trip. Others think there are distinct differences due to 4-AcO-DMT itself possibly being psychoactive, or an entourage effect produced by other naturally occurring alkaloids in mushrooms. I personally suspect that much of the difference perceived is due to the bodyload incurred buy digesting raw dried mushroom and possibly the accompanying alkaloids. After all, the way you physically feel has a massive affect on a psychedelic trip. I have been lucky enough to try psilocybin extract, and would say that experience was nearly identical to 4-AcO-DMT due to the lack of bodyload I experienced.

4-HO-MET is very similar to psilocybin and 4-AcO-DMT, although is a bit more visual with a lighter headspace, similar to 2C-B in that way. Although a fun compound, it never really captivated me like the other substances on this list.

MDMA

Although I have only done it a few times, MDMA has given me amazing insight into what it feels like to have no social anxiety whatsoever. It also provides incredible focus and hard to match euphoria.

First MDMA Experience

This weekend I tried MDMA for the first time. I was lucky enough to get a gram of TWL's 2 time re-x MDMA which looks as clear as glass. I weighed out 110mg for myself and 85mg for my partner, and put it in capsules. Several other people at the party decided to trip on approximately 13mg of 2C-B, also dosed in capsules, which will be relevant a bit later.

Over the next hour, I was overcome by a warm feeling, and became even more talkative than usual. I began to feel very aware of how everyone in the room was feeling, but had intense focus whenever I was talking to someone, almost as though the rest of the world melted away. I normally have a lot of social anxiety, but I now felt that I could stare right into someone’s eyes, as if peering into their soul, without a shred of anxiety. I had several deep conversations with friends as well as people I barely knew. During this time, I smoked some cannabis and drank a bit, but nothing crazy. I really didn’t feel the effects of anything but the MDMA, it was so much stronger that it overwhelmed everything else.

At this point, several hours had elapsed, although I couldn’t tell you exactly since my perception of time was completely warped. One of my friends who had taken 2C-B started to feel very emotionally overwhelmed and retreated to the room where everyone’s coats were kept. I joined them to help them calm down. I felt extremely capable of understanding them and their issues, and it became apparent that a lot of what was going on with them had much to do with personal issues that they had not been dealing with. My other friend who had also taken 2C-B volunteered to take them to a friend’s house nearby in order to help them calm down in a quiet place.

Once they were gone, I continued talking to everyone, and quenched any rumors that had started about what might be going on. I continued to think about what had happened with my friend, and felt quite guilty, and personally responsible, for what had happened since I was the one who gave them the 2C-B. Several people reassured me that everything would be okay and it was not “my fault”. I got a three-way hug from two of my friends, and let me tell you, I have never experienced such a nice hug in my life. Seriously. I felt as though I was being hugged by the essence of happiness.

By now things were starting to wind down, and I started to feel the come down. It felt as though I had just used my brain very intensely for about 48 hours of work. I did not feel sad, but I can totally see how one might feel miserable after MDMA wears off, especially if you were using it to escape your problems. Once the party was over, and I was laying in bed at home with my partner, she informed me that she was seeing some very interesting gray-scale visuals and some morphing. Personally I had not seen any visual distortions so this was interesting to hear. It had also enabled her to introspect about some things that had been related to early trauma in her life, which she normally had a lot of difficulty thinking about.

The next day, I felt extremely worn out, but there was a definite afterglow from the experience. I was completely unable to get anything done I had planned for that day. I was a little disappointed since I am normally able to be productive, albeit in a diminished capacity, the day after taking classical psychedelics, but MDMA is clearly a very different animal.

MDMA has shown me that it is possible to interact with people without constantly worrying about every aspect of the interaction, and I hope to be able to integrate that into my day to day life. I have never been so completely free of anxiety in my entire life, and I fully intend to learn how to get closer to this state of mind while completely sober.

I now truly understand how MDMA is useful for PTSD therapy. You shed much of your anxiety, and it becomes much easier to face things that would normally be hard for you.

As for my friend who had a bad time, they have taken this as a sign that they need to deal with their issues and have begun seeking professional help. Although their experience with 2C-B was not positive in the moment, it seems to have lead to a real positive change that will help them a lot in the long run.
Part 8/8

Set and Setting: Why I sometimes break the rules.

There have been quite a few occasions where I have broken the rule of maintaining a good set and setting when tripping, particularly in regards to set. In general, it is important to treat psychedelics with respect so that you do not put yourself in a bad position. Over time I have become comfortable working with these substances, allowing me to utilize their qualities in times of great emotional distress. Occasionally, when I have to deal with something difficult and emotionally complex, I will take LSD in the midst of things, usually not exceeding 200ug. By taking a reasonable dose, I am able to use the clear headspace provided to work through the issue emotionally.

I would suggest that if you plan to break these rules, only break one at a time. In other words, if you are going through a tough time, make sure you are in a safe space if you are going to attempt this. Breaking both at very well could lead to a bad outcome.

Current Relationship with Psychedelics

These days I trip much less than I used to. I have only taken LSD three times in the last year, MDMA once, and mushroom extract once. I tend to only use psychedelics when I have a bunch of stuff in my head that I need to work through, or when a friend of mine expresses interest in tripping with me.

A while ago I was having a conversation with a friend who had been somewhat overdoing it with LSD. I expressed my concern, and explained to him that integration is the most important part of the psychedelic process. The next time we spoke, he admitted I was right, thanked me for my perspective, and off hand asked me how often I tripped. At that point I had not tripped in nearly six months. He was shocked.

The point of this little anecdote is to impress upon you the impact that psychedelics have had on my life. My friend saw how passionate I was about the topic, and how much they had apparently helped me. He had assumed that I, like him, was tripping all the time. It could be a year until my next trip and my opinion will not change, my passion will not decrease. The doors that psychedelics have opened for me are numerous and unimaginable. I feel that each time I trip I am able to get more out of it, my knowledge of the inner realms of my mind compounding those gains, increasing the time in between trips for integration, and decreasing the desire to do them again. It is as if I am asymptotically approaching a place where psychedelics become obsolete, true enlightenment.

The next part of the above story is "MY CRAZIEST TRIP EVER!"


My craziest trip definitely has to be the first one. It transformed me!
It changed the organizational structure of my brain. It was BAT shit crazy.
Mind you if its a bit long, i am really very excited as i am writing this.

After one long depressing phase of my life, it was time to breathe again. Time to run towards the light. Feel the light.

Recap (above entry) - Life Is fucked. i am Depressed. Mushrooms are Calling.

Me and my friend booked a train to the first city we planned to go, it was 8 days to my birthday. This city had beaches and was known as a silent hippy hub. The minute we boarded the train i felt free!
Free from the city and my past and all the baggage. There was a sense of hope in the air for me, i could feel it.

The train was at night 9pm. We would reach our destination at 9 am in the morning. We boarded the train and it was a 12 hour journey to this city we planned on checking out. After the ticket checking formalities were done and dusted we opened a bottle of rum, mixed it in coke and started drinking by 10 pm. We drank till 1am and finished the bottle of rum. The train was fairly empty.
We started rolling joints and going to the washroom to smoke. I have photos of my friend n me with bloodshot red eyes in the washrooms of a train giggling and dancing and feeling freeeeee!

I woke up with a pull of the train slowing down and THUD! the train stopped pushing me back with a jerk and the thud. I woke up with harsh bright light tearing through the rectangle metal grilled window. I got up to see what station it was, I got down on the platform and i asked this one and only person present at the station where was i, was this my station?
N he said i had come 4 stations ahead of my station. I could barely open my eyes and could feel the scorching sun on my skin. This new information woke me up, my hangover kicked in, eyes lids making a tiny slit, taking in all the light, the heat now was making me sweat. I ran, ran towards the train. I ran, woke my friend up. The train started moving slowly, the loud horn made its long echoing sound and i am shaking my friend telling him its time to go. I picked up my bag and threw it out of the train on to the platform station. I helped my friend throw his stuff out, and out we jumped off the train. We were so hung over we decided to sleep in the shade on the platform bench, it was 1 in the noon and we hugged our luggage and slept like horses. I remember the man left till we got down at the station, after that there was only one black dog looming around, who also was sleeping touching my back when i woke up. We woke up at 5.30 pm, Freshened up. An hour of light before the sun sets. We inquired where we were, and put some food in our bodies and went straight to the beach, set up our tents had a little more rum danced and sang. ate the fruits we bought and slept like a log.

This is the start of it to give you a jist of what life transformation looks like. And how kind can universe be.

We met and made a friend on couchsurfing, we stayed the next day and night with him. He was kind enough to host us. Kind enough to introduce his friends. We made biryani in a huge cauldron. Enough for all, for 2 days!
The host was our age, a hardworking bread earning stoner, who lived alone starting his career in a new city, working on the new highway construction project of the city. Time was flowing beautifully.


Cut to to reaching the city of mushrooms, me and my friend managed to score 5 dozen magic mushrooms after we landed in the city. We moved to the village in the hill where we had our stay, we roamed throughout the day, all this is one day before my birthday. We bought chocolates to have em with shrooms and we rented a nice house for about 5 days in the village, on the same silent hill. our house had a front yard with a plastic table and 3 chairs with a tiny wildly growing garden.

We woke up the next day, its my birthday!!!! I brushed, freshened up and cooked some basic food for myself and my friend with all the veggies I had bought a day earlier with mushrooms and chocolates. My friend woke up and rolled as many joints as he could before we sit and consume the magic. At about 10 am in the morning the weather was pleasant, we decided to set up our front yard table. Neatly aligning joints, chocolates, mushrooms and bottle of water and what not. We Ate a dozen each and felt nothing. We had little to no idea that it takes about half n hour to kick in, in our desperation and dismay we finished 5 dozen thinking we have been cheated. Black clouds cover the skies and its dark suddenly, it felt like 6 pm in the evening! We sat talking about things and looking at trees and the dark grey sky. We lit a joint and the time was passing in comfortable silence. I wrote a few things in my diary and waited eagerly for it to kick in!

We could see and hear loud thunder from the skies and it started pouring heavily, we immediately shifted everything inside and sat in the living room of the house, I kept telling my friend that I feel funny in my stomach! He said, yes his tummy was also making noises and it felt like the shroom were boiling in HCL inside my tummy. My friend set up a camera in our room to record our conversations and the things we do. 10 minutes down (30-40 minutes now after ingestion) I could see black shadowy symbols on the wall, it kept erasing and new symbols kept emerging, it started to come up for my friend too. I kept saying my tummy feels funny! I saw a huge “WHAT?” With a question mark on the wall and it disappeared. I looked at the wall beside me and I remember telling my friend that this pink wall looks like an expanse of space, I could walk right into it man it felt so real. I touched the wall to feel its texture and my fingertips felt the wall like never before, the plaster on the wall felt cool and smooth.
The rain stopped outside and we decided to venture out ‘into the wild’, in the woods.

We packed our tiny handy bag with smokes and joints and a few fruits and opened the front door to leave the house! It was bright again, with sunlight shearing though the voids between plants and leaves and branches. My friend said I feel like I can talk to the plants around, heck he sat down near a small plant and talked to it for a while. 1.5 Hours down now and we decided to follow a trail in the woods and walk around. The ground had mud and very rough stones laid over them at the start of the trail. As we walked on the trail I looked down and the stones went 6 ft inside the ground and some came up 3 ft above the ground. I was hallucinating like crazy, me and my friend were walking on the trail as if there's floor on the lava, making huge meticulous steps, trying to land our feet on the stones which were changing its shape and size almost every time I looked at it again. Other tourist (mostly israelis and frenchmen and germans) looked at us with a smile, the air was so amicable one of a traveler asked us if we were on mushrooms and the vibe was so right, it generated no fear inside me, I smiled and said yes. The guy smiled back and greeted us to have a happy profound trip. There was no fear! We walked further into the jungle absorbing trees, pacing our steps. After about 20 minutes of walking it was dark again, thick dense cloud surrounded us and we found ourselves in the middle of the clouds, I couldn’t see my friend 2 meters away from me, it suddenly became chilly af, freezing cold. It was still comforting, the heat went away and it suddenly became freezing cool! And the cloud passed through us. It never occurred to us, what if it rains again? Where do we run to for shade? Huge rain trees surrounded us, we found a huge fallen tree, we sat on it and decided to smoke a joint. It was calm and serene with no one around us. A butterfly came and sat on my knee and I swear to god we made eye contact and shared like a ‘tipping hat’ moment. ALL IS ONE! I felt.
I loooved reading about your craziest trip ever!

Isn't it just beautiful when Universe lines things up just right?

My favorite part was: "A butterfly came and sat on my knee and I swear to god we made eye contact and shared like a ‘tipping hat’ moment" - I can just picture that moment so well in my head.

So glad that this crazy journey has been such a amazing healing experience for you!

Medical benefits of LSD


Personal opinion on macro doses

The first dose I tried was not from reliable vendor. I would not say it was not that pure as other sellers advertise. It was very weird feeling I thought it must have been weak, so I took a little too much. One of the most noticable was effects was how time has slowed. I didnt have to do anyting just sit or lay and enjoy the moment, thats something most people dont do nowadays. During the trip I thought about my life. I though about how I am too hard on myself and how it makes my life actually harder to life.

I think it was definitely first step or impulse for self acceptance. It showed my how life can be so much better without trying to be someone I am not. Obviously this is not enough to improve my life fully, but it is definitely something I can work on more easily than before.

During the trip you just think on different things than on your sober self. It just fills you with empathy and love for every living creature on this planet. The few trips I tried after were less introspective but still worth it. One time I went for about 375ug and it was bad idea. I would say the higher dose the more important is set and setting. for "self therapy" about 100-200ug is enough.

One of the best things about lsd is in my opinion the afterglow. waking up next day after trip with motivation, love and energy to "just live life" and improve your life. It is something everyone should expirience. It happens even after challenging trips full of anxiety.

This whole expirience kinda made me more interested in spirituality. I guess it might be caused by little ego desolution during trips. I have began interested in meditation, budhism. I also found out fellow Czech Stanislav Grof was researching lsd and its effects on psyche. He wrote many books. They are quite interested read. Sometimes they go too deep into esotericism, so it might not be for everyone. I feel like am less of a ateist I was before.

Studies on lsd

Science showed some prominent evidence on lsd. There is possibility to use lsd in therapy because of its introspective effects. It showed to help patients with depression, anxiety, cluster headaches, ptsd. It can help people overcome addictions. Doses around above 100ug help prevent Alzheimers disease.

I am sure there are even more proven benefits and more benefits to be proven.

Opinion on microdosing

There is pretty big community around microdosing especially on reddit. People are still not sure about dosage. It is supposed to be around 5-15ug, but people find 15ug usually too much. I personally would not go above 10ug nowadays, If I want it to be strictly microdose and not mini or musem dose.

Some benefits people usually state are more self awareness about you and your surroundings, antidepressant effects, people tend to enjoy the moment more. Improvement in cognitive function for example long term memory maybe even the other types. Just general inprovement in well-being and also a little energy boost.

I am expiriencing with microdosing myself nad could say it definitely have some effect. It is very suble like many nootropics. I would say most noticible effects are calmness, better focus, mood boost and sometimes energy, it is more like wakefulness.
I would say its more benefitial for neurodivergent people like people with autism and adhd than for neurotypical people, but its worth a try for everyone. The cognitive boost might be also more visible on older people. I believe there should be done some study on older people.

My schedule is to take dosage every second day. I believe there might be very small afterglow like in macro doses but still very subtle. I am also thinking about trying every day, but I am not sure about tolerance. I dont think the tolerance is the same as with macro doses.

I would like to say to be careful about higher doses of microdosing(around 15ug) because they can amplify your emotions, so it can backfire.

I believe both macro and micro dosing is benefitial and ideal way is to combine them.

Studies on microdosing

There have been some studies on microdosing. They show polarazing results. some studies show improvements, some studies show same improvements same with placebo. It was very hard to choose right method and messure any data. These studies have many flaws there are being critized that it is very hard to messure anything when people just sit in lab and do nothing. results might be different if they live their normal life and take it for a long time, which is not done in studies.

Studies done as questionnaries where people used lsd from their own source showed success, but they cant be taken grantly because placebo is involved and there are not any empiric data. I hope there will be more studies and ways of studies to be done.
Hello 1PieceEnjoyer,

Thank you so much for your submission.

I also hope that there will be more reliable studies about this sacred crystal so can learn and understand it more.

Love and Light!

MY JOURNEY WITH PSYCHEDELICS:

My journey with psychedelics began about 2-3 months ago (though my interest in psychedelics goes back to my childhood). When I discovered the deep web market and related topics, I developed a fascination with psychedelics. This fascination had been present since I was a child. As I explored the deep web markets, I came across LSD and wanted to try it. At that time, I had Discord friends who used to buy LSD from the now-defunct ASAP market. They introduced me to the process, and after a few months, I bought some LSD and had my first trips. These experiences led to significant changes in me. On my first LSD trip, which was on 200ug of LSD, I found myself trapped in thought loops. Despite this, I loved the experience and desired more. Through this journey, I joined the Spanish subdread and formed friendships that continue to this day.

The quality of my first LSD experience was based on 200ug of LSD, which was of moderate quality. Although not perfect, it was genuine LSD rather than fake substances like nbome. This first trip took place at night in my room while chatting with my friends on Discord. I recall engaging in conversation with a girl who sent me a video of her dog. As I watched, the dog seemed to move in slow motion and appeared as if made of clay. I now understand that I was witnessing fractals. She also sent me pink pictures, which transitioned to purple as I scrolled up, and became more pink as I scrolled down. This heightened experience was truly captivating, and I cherished it.

During my first trip, I learned something profound from the LSD that still resonates with me today. It made me reconsider how people behave. Previously, I had labeled many things as "cringe," but the LSD trip erased this perception. Everything felt okay; nobody was "cringe." It seemed like a little ego within me dissolved, allowing me to view things from a different perspective. I started to contemplate a multitude of thoughts and entered into thought loops of my own, which was truly astonishing. I genuinely believe that I am a better person now due to LSD. It illuminated what is good and what isn't, prompting me to think deeply and meditate on my own thoughts, often finding myself battling my own mind. The experience was immensely powerful.

In present times, I engage in trips approximately once a month. These experiences prompt me to reflect on my actions and choices. It's worth noting that the quality of LSD matters too. It's crucial to source LSD from reputable producers like Tribe Seuss, known for their exceptional purity.

With love,
