Hey everyone, I'm looking for some advice as I prepare for my next trip. I've had some powerful experiences with mushrooms in the past, but l've also learned a lot from some challenging ones. I'm taking a long break now to reset, meditate, and really respect the medicine. I've done 3.5g of PE before and had a great experience, but l'm preparing for a trip on February 1, and I'm debating whether to go with 3.5g or 4g this time. I know my tolerance will be super low, and I'd love to hear your thoughts!

All the ones I have seen are very innacurate

When ever I trip no matter the substance that I trip on I always get a horrible feeling in my throat almost as if I am eating it that’s only way I can describe it does this happen to anybody else?

Is anyone else very insensitive to psychedelics and dissociatives. I have tried 60+ different drugs and have studied both Pharmacy as well as pharmacology and medicinal chemistry at a University level. There is long term generational alcoholism in my family which from papers I’ve read will reduce the psychedelic effects of NMDA antagonists. I have Aspergers and Aphantasia (inability to visualise), I have read that Autism can impact the classical psychedelics but wonder if any other Autistics are insensitive. I have never had mushrooms have any effect besides a relaxed effect even taking over 7grams. I have taken acid 50* times with just a psychedelic headspace and minor visuals, no closed eyed visuals until I get to around the 600ug mark. I have taken over 1000 ug on multiple occasions. I don’t I don’t have bad acid because this dropper is about 200ug a drop and everyone I have given it to has had typical experiences with one drop. I have never had closed eyed visuals from ketamine or ketamine analogues. None from Nbome, LSA or 2CB. DXM at high Plat 3-4 doses have given some closed eyed visuals. If I mix and NMDA antagonists taken 2 hours before and continuously into the administration of a classic psychedelic I can have a more typical experience more similar to my 1500ug acid trips at about 300-400ug, this has been don’t with DXM and 2F-NENDCK. DMT has given me similar effects opened eyed and I have had success with closed eyed visuals but never broken through after 10+ attempts. My best friend is the same as me with Autism and he has the same insensitivity. Anyone else the same and anyone have any tips on how to deepen the experience of psychedelic without having to take more or mix it as I have had heightened Blood pressure in my last few LDXM trips and I’m concerned about it long term. I have been exploring meditation to enhance the experience but it’s nothing like the mind melting classical psychedelic + dissociative trips I have had. I get a lot of benefits from psychedelics even when I don’t get visuals but I do envy the experience of others and hope there’s a way I can increase my experience. Anyone who says take a 10 strip don’t worry I’ve done that, taken a 20strip, it’s not viable financially.

This is my standard scale coleus. I'm dosing 30 leaves tonight shortly before bed. I'm gonna stay awake for maybe another hour or 2, until 1030 central standard time. 10 dried leaves were ate with water about 30 minutes ago. Every 10 minutes after that, 5 leaves are to be chewed for 3-5 minutes then eaten. I'm taking my last dose soon and may go back for more. 10mg edible eaten 45 mins ago to enhance effects. Will report back tomorrow before class. P.s 🌱Not expecting much but something told me to post this just in case I have anything notable. P.P.s🌱 I've had this plant for many years, grown indoors organically in my cacti tent. I call it standard scale coleus because I use it as a scale as I don't have a ruler Goodnight and safe trips to all 💚

Does anyone know where to safely get these substances in Canada, any sites?

Hi all!

My name is Joshua White, and I'm the Founder/ED of Fireside Project, a nonprofit that operates the Psychedelic Support Line and a psychedelic coaching service. Ask me anything!!

Excited to dive deep with y'all!

When I’ve done shrooms I have had a variety of spiritual experiences it’s not so much I see with my psychical eyes a being standing in the corner it’s more I feel a presence or an energy and it’s like I feel how they are communicating with me and what they’re saying. I’ve had conversations with friends that feel both that this is just the depths of how deep our mind and imagination can go and others who are more in my boat that theses entities are something real and the Psilocybin unlocks our mind to interact and see them. What do you guys think? Or do you have a different perspective even.

I keep seeing posts and comments everywhere on social media and in person about how psychadelic experiences are just chemical reactions and don’t mean anything deeper due to it just being a chemical. What is your response?

I recently did 7.5g of p. natalensis. With the potency I measured that's about 15g of cubes (120mg of psilocybin). I didn't consider it at the time, but afterwards it turned out that much of my trip was in front of my Furbo, so I was able to transcribe some of what I was saying. Here are some of my favorite highlights.

• "[Emperor Palpatine] VADER ENERGY. [Me] I don't want Vader

energy. Please come back to me, Anakin."

• [Sees Lady Gaga] "G-g-g-g-g... [not remembering her stage name but remembering her real name] Stephanie Germonatta!"
• When travelling through time yet again: "Oh come on. Not more going in circles. Wait, that's what the Enterprise did!"
• I was two people talking to each other, starting with an Avril Levigne Sk8r Boi duet: "Five years from now… she sits at home… feeding the baby she's all alone. I don't want to be alone. Stop it and get out of Star Wars. I don't WANT to get out of Star Wars!"
• I was having fun rocking back and forth and saying I was a pendulum, but then some other part of me said I didn't want to be a pendulum.
• “This is ice cream. I don't care what you say little German officer."
• "Bacon! [dragging myself towards something on the carpet] Beautiful! Is this what death feels like? This is great! [triumphant karate noises] HiiiiiiiiYAH! Now it's Toyota time!"
• "Why is Brian here? [bangs leg] Okay, that was definitely real [after having imagined injuries] Don't tell ME what to do, [crush from 25 years ago]! I tell YOU what to do! And I tell YOU what to do and tell YOU what to do!"
• [conversing with someone else] "Hot dogs! I don't want to hear anymore about hot dogs! Or James Caan! Or your stupid foot!" [a weird, random reference to Misery]
• [crawling to the fireplace and putting my feet up on the threshold like I'm in obstetrics stirrups]: "Oh no. Okay, I'm giving birth now. [waves hand through legs like I'm waving a baby out] Giving birth. Giving birth. There's your stupid symbolism."
• “Postum? [gasp] I left Postum on the pot?! I... I DID leave Postum on the pot! [shocked I'm back on the couch because I thought I was sitting in my desk chair] Now I'm back HERE again? I can't believe it. CHAIR!!”
• "Pyramid spiciness. [confused] What is pyramid spiciness? I'm gonna ruin my life like Grandpa Joe. Grandpa Joe was an asshole, and he was on drugs. [talking to someone else] But it's baseball. I get it, we're playing baseball."
• "I see it now. Swarms of elements. CERN supercollider. Ultraviolet catastrophe. [sees Philomena Cunk] Philomena Cunk!? [points at her] My old nemesis. What did you do? Did you drug my drink, Philomena Cunk?"

What does it all mean?

I’m 16 and pretty fascinated with this, I want to try shrooms but fear my young brain might explode. When is considered the earliest a person can do shrooms that would have positive affects on their brain and not have a chance of messing them up.

Is it possible for imagined stories to create and shape a new universe/realm in the astral plane, considering that we are fractals of God and consequently, considering the law of mentalism, perhaps just thinking can create an entire universe, which can be simplified and artificial, but still real?

Evidence of this are the countless cases of narrative arts such as films, series, mangas and animes that have such superhuman narrative cohesion that it would be impossible for someone to think of every detail so thoroughly, to the point that some irrelevant and random elements from the beginning of the story are revealed at the end of it, which throughout the story have been influencing things in such a complex way that it would be impossible for someone to think of every detail. Theory videos on YouTube theorizing about a story are an example of this. There are some details, such as a small movement of a character or an event in the story, that are as complex as the story itself, and in some cases the story is several decades old and has many chapters released (like Berserk). This probably happens because once the universe is created it starts to have its own movement unconsciously by the god (author) and the author just influences other smaller things.

I'm not saying that it really is like that, but that this possibility of creating universes seems to be really plausible and should be considered. And I'm not talking about egregores, I'm talking about a whole universe really, with its own laws and with people really being conscious and thinking that they are real people (and they really are). Maybe the creation of our universe was just a random movie in another superior universe that created this one, and since our universe is a fractal new universes can be created from this one.

Ok so my understanding of the ego after 30 or so years of living as a human being on this rotating ball in space called Earth, is that the ego is a psychological construction, a kind of interface which the consciousness uses to ground itself with in this particular body.

Ego death, wether experienced via a high psychedelic dose or actual spiritual techniques, is death in every aspect except physical, when we have a experience of ego death we really do die. Feelings of struggling, holding on for dear life, panic and fear. There's nothing you can do, YOU are not in control. And what happens?! When the ego dies, this psychological construction solidified trough years and years of belief in its reality gives way to the realization of " I am that, or I am It". That and it in this case being the Universe, there is no seperation at all, from the big bang to the evolution into all its constituent parts it is all a whole of the same being. Like a snake eating its own tail, life sustain on itself.

When this realization is had we come down from the psychedelic experience and we try to pick up the shattered pieces of our frail identity, like peels of fruit having been removed to reveal the nectar of truth.

Yet society as such does not operate out of this realization, society at large is in the ego based reality, from its materialist and consumerist to narcissistic tendencies.

Certain spiritual traditions also have a way of making the ego sound bad. It is not bad as such, it is a function, a necessity, that when u realized can be like a layer of a cloud or dream over truth, yet a ego is still the interface we use to interact with the world. As such mental hygiene, having my own quirks and wittiness is all fine, as long as I am at the very least aware of the truth underneath it all! Before enlightenment chop wood, after enlightenment chop wood!

If every human being would have some form of understanding and psychological maturity and insight into this concept, i.e we are all part of the same whole and when I shit in your backyard I'm basically shitting on my own, would lead to a healthier world.

Sorry in advance as this is a long trip report but I felt like doing the experience justice.

My relationship with LSD prior to this trip yas been extremely tumultuous. I’ve had 5 trips total prior to this experienced. 2 110ug doses, 2 50 ug doses, and 1 80ug dose.

The 50 ug doses were chill and enjoyable but rather lackluster, The 110ug (full tab) doses were extremely difficult for me. Characterized by thought loops, confusion, panick, hyper sensitivity to my body sensations and intense visuals overtaking my entire vision at times. Both of these trips made me very weary and nervous about LSD and substances in general. They were the first time I had a bad time on any substance and made me dread having the same experience again, causing me to have lasting anxiety.

A month prior to this I had a 75-80ug trip, these gel tabs were laid too thin and werent a full dose but a friend thought they would work better for me and my sensitivity to LSD so they gave me the sheet. This tab worked nicely, gave me nice visuals and no anxiety whatsoever, although lacking the mystical aspect that a full dose has. This trip made me feel a little more confident in my ability to handle a full dose and I was eager to take the plunge again and get a handle on LSD.

This leads us to the subject trip. Myself, my girlfriend and 3 other friends dosed at 8:20pm Friday night. I took 110 ugs while everyone else took 220. I was very nervous about this trip, and drank a vodka cran beforehand to cool my nerves. I found this makes my comeup a little smoother and removed my usual jitters. I tried to distract myself by drawing as well.

About 30 minutes in i am starting to feel the onset of the LSD, my friend A loses her phone somewhere in the house and the whole group is turning the house upside down to find it. I already know this has the potential to overstimulate me so I decided I will not be involved in the search and go back to my music. The comeup is ramping up and I talk to my friend G for a bit about LSD, its effects and what we’re hoping for out of our trips.

At work earlier I had set some goals for this trip, to come out a stronger psychonaut, conquer my anxieties, and most importantly learn to stop fighting the trip. I wrote on my wrist “stop fighting it!” with a smiley face as a reminder to myself. I have a tendency to forget my safe trip practices when in a panic.

About an hour and a half into the trip and things are getting extremely visual, I am peculiarly calm during this entire time, conversing with friends and admiring my girlfriend instead of hyper fixating on the trip is doing me wonders and I already feel better about this trip. 2 hours later the acid is REALLY hitting, everyone is laughing and joking and its making my auditory hallucinations go nuts. I get slightly stressed and overstimulated and G agrees so we go outside to the backyard to admire the sky. The air is frigid for San Diego and I did not come prepared, but the sky is beautiful and we have some great conversation staring at the stars before we decide to head back in.

Inside now I am absolutely tripping balls as is everyone else, we’re crying laughing and having a great time when I look at my ipad I’ve been drawing on. The screen rises like a fog above the table and starts to fracture into what looks like a milk colorful web pattern, it slowly starts to overtake my entire visual field and I panic and look away. I’m fighting it, and now I’m starting to get overwhelmed. The sound of everyones voices, the hundreds of plants and colorful lights , and the sound of the movie in the background is all too much for me but it is now far too cold to go outside and rejoin G.

I can see through the window G is outside and listen to music with his headphones on. I decided its a good idea to do this as well, just indoors, and put on some music to dance to. The album art of “Forwad Escape” by Tipper catches my eye when I open my library. I have never listened to this album before but saved it for a trip one day as I’ve heard wonderful things about it. I put in my headphones, and start the album.

This is where the trip REALLY begins. My biggest fear with psychedelics has been getting too lost it in, experiencing things like ego death or losing ones sense of self, or tripping so hard you don’t come back. Everything in me knows that the probability of genuinely breaking your mind through a 100ug LSD trip is rather low but the fear is still there. I have had a constant fear of closing my eyes while tripping and surrendering myself to the trip. I fear it will be too much for me.

This time, the sound of Trippers album soothes me and entices me to explore my mind more and my own mental fortitude. I walk towards an air matress we have in the living room between all our friends, lay down, close my eyes, and face my fears.

My closed eye visuals come on slowly with the music, the colors and patterns move and dance with every sound, it is beautiful and unlike anything I’ve seen on a trip before. I have zero thoughts, which is rare for an overthinker like myself, I purely lost in the music. Then something new happens, I can no longer feel my body, this terrifies me and I jolt my eyes open and sit up. But I refuse to fight the trip any longer, and despite my fears and reservations, close my eyes and lay down again.

Once again the visuals start and I lose my sense of physical self again, entire being feels warm and euphoric, like I am no longer human but an infinite body of warm water. I do not know where my body ends and the mattress begins, and I realize I do not care. This is exactly what I’ve feared in the past, being too lost in the sauce. I’m hesitant but I fully surrender myself to the trip. I began to physically feel the music, my thoughts flow with it as it takes me through a journey of my own thoughts and memories. It feels as if the music is inside of my brain, or I am inside of it and I can feel every individual sound like a brand new sensation with astounding visuals to follow suit. I am in a new universe I have never experienced before, and then I come to the realization that I’m handling it. I’m handling everything I was afraid of being unable to do and that everything will be okay.

After this realization I am washed over with euphoria, higher than I ever thought possible. The pure ecstasy and joy this experience made me feel better than MDMA or MDA ever have. I laid and listened to this album from front to back, it was the most powerful and spiritual psychedelic experience I’ve had and my thoughts and realizations during this moment changed my entire viewpoint on tripping, anxiety, death and existence as a whole.

I stood up from the mattress as someone who is no longer an anxious tripper or an overthinker. I am fully content surrendering myself to the trip and simply just being. All of this is too much to express to any of my friends at the moment, all of whom are tripping hard and having a great time, so decided a simple “I love you guys” will suffice. The rest of the night was full of laughter, conversation, and movies and music. This is the first time I’ve had a 100% good LSD trip and it has changed me so much for the better.

I am eternally grateful for this experience, my partner and friends, and the magic of LSD. My goal was to come out of this trip stronger, and I feel like I succeeded. My next trip will be taking an 80ug tab at Thunderdome in Washington and I am infinitely excited. If you haven’t listened to Forward Escape by Tipper while tripping I highly recommend it. Shoutout Tipper bro

We know whats out there. All these places beyond belief. Endless love and adventure. I’ve seen it. I’ve traveled, I believe it’s real more than the world we live in, but I still go on living like I have to ignore it. I’m just another sim working 60 hours a week barely getting by, trying to support my family and give them a better life somewhere we can have peace and live slowly and comfortably. I’ve been on auto pilot since i graduated 15 years ago. I havnt even broke through on psychedelics in over 5 years, but I think about it often. I just hate myself for accepting this bland reality and allowing myself to get older without having the peace of mind or time to explore this opportunity of life and why and how I’m connected to this planet and beyond while I’m alive. I just don’t want to waste this life in case it really is the only one I’ll ever have. Idk I’m just rambling. Love to everyone ✌🏽don’t waste time

I've already had my socks blow off by mushrooms. But I heard about psilohuasca a few months ago and it fascinates me. What is it like?

Hey Guys, this is part 5 where I discuss my experience with depression and overcoming it with psychedelics.

As someone who has ventured into Magic Mushroom Land with numerous hero doses (and miraculously avoided the psych ward so far), I’ve had my fair share of bad trips. Let me tell you, it’s a 0/10 experience—not something I’d recommend.

But today, I’m sharing my personal system to help you survive a bad trip and maybe even learn from it.

This is all about harm reduction—because with great power (and psilocybin) comes great responsibility.

Why Talk About Bad Trips?

• Psychedelics can heal, inspire, and reveal profound truths, but they can also carry risks.
• Every trip has the potential to break you. It’s not a guarantee but a reality we need to acknowledge.
• The goal here isn’t to scare you but to prepare you. If you go deep, at least bring a life jacket.

Introducing the MARGA Method:

This system is my go-to for surviving and grounding during a bad trip. Let’s break it down:

M – Magic Mushroom: Responsibility & Choice

• Remember: You chose this. You chose to take the magic mushrooms. 
• Acknowledge that you’ve taken this substance willingly. Your actions have led you here, and now you are experiencing the effects. 
• Accepting this choice can help you regain a sense of agency.

A – Acceptance: Let Go of Resistance

• Stop fighting the trip.
• It’s okay to feel uncomfortable or even scared. This is a temporary experience, and it will pass.
• Embrace the mindset that even the bad moments are part of the journey. They can’t break you unless you let them.

R – Reality Testing: Question Your Fears

• Ask yourself: Is what I’m experiencing real? Or is it just my perception amplified?
• Why do I feel like I am dying?
• Ground yourself in logic, even if your mind feels like it’s unraveling.
• Remind yourself that what you’re experiencing isn’t permanent—it’s your perception, not reality breaking.

G – Grounding: Anchor Yourself

• Use a grounding tool like an object, incense, or simple mantra.
• For me, incense helps tie my senses to the present moment—the smell and the sight—two different and powerful sensory modalities for maximum effect. Before my trips, I always light some incense. It reminds my mind that I have taken a psychedelic. Every time I smell the incense and see the smoky air, I recall that I am in magic mushroom land.
• For you, it could be a specific song, a comforting object, or even a note saying, “You’re okay.”
• I also have specific music that I only listen to in Magic Mushroom Land. It is reserved purely for trips. 

A – Action: Redirect Your Energy

• Take small, intentional actions to shift your focus.
  • Sip water.
  • Call a trusted friend.
  • Have a snack. 
  • Stretch.
  • Change your environment (e.g., move to a different room or go outside).
  • Play calming music or focus on an object in your vicinity.
• Action gives your mind something to hold onto and prevents you from spiraling deeper.

Why This System Works:

• It’s simple and actionable—you can remember it even when your mind feels fragmented.
• It’s rooted in self-awareness and acceptance. Fighting a bad trip only makes it worse, so this approach focuses on flowing with the experience rather than resisting it.

My Final Thoughts:

• Write down MARGA and memorize it. Have it ready to access whenever you need it most.

• If this system helps even one person avoid trauma during a trip, it’s worth sharing.

• And to my friend who had her mind break that night—this one’s for you. I’m sorry I couldn’t do more then, but I hope this helps others in the future.

Have you ever had a bad trip? What helped you get through it? Let’s share tips in the comments—your experience might save someone else.

Thanks for reading, Remember, this is just my experience. Stay Safe. Be responsible.

Before going to sleep at night, write an essay about dreaming about enlightenment. About finding the answer to all questions, and ultimate fulfillment in being. Dreams are probably unfiltered creative free association concerning what we were thinking about immediately before going to sleep.

When you wake up in the morning, write an essay in your dream journal about your interpretation of your dreams as keys to unlocking enlightenment.

When you have free time during the day, 5 minutes to an hour, meditate on obtaining enlightenment.

Keep this behavior up for one week to one month before a trip, and meditate on enlightenment during the trip. Since your mind is one-pointedly focused on the subject of enlightenment, the trip will

unlock the secrets of the universe.

Never stop thinking about enlightenment, and maybe you will obtain

unsurpassed ultimate and complete omniscient enlightenment.

I’ve done shrooms and acid and I tend to have a good tolerance for psychs, 4g and 200-300ug are my usual trips, how much 2cb should I get? Anything to keep in mind? Is it too different than the other two? I’ve also done mdma and mixed it w shrooms and acid if that’s a closer feeling.

Does anyone have any experience with savant syndrome under the use of heroic dose of psylicibin? Audio recorded(forgein langue heard), AI translated(language spoken identified), translated into English, the exact thing spoken in English what was said in forgein language.

In record there is audio of forgein language being spoken, then something said in English.

With the help of AI to identify the forgein language, it was the same thing said in English.

Has anyone else had this type of savant syndrome with psilocybin?

Hi there,

so as a newbie I took about 90mg DXM a few days ago and, strangely, even this "low" dose made me completely dissociated, detached, and leaving me almost unable to feel myself and to move or talk properly. It was quite an unpleasant experience with no positives and I had to wait out the time to feel better. However after some/many hours the uncomfortable faded and I was left with a great afterglow, feeling very clear-headed with a better-than-usual mood, calm, collected and yeah, just great....

This makes me wonder, is there any way to somehow circumvent the "actual" effects of DXM in order to get to that nice afterglow effect? I thought about just taking it at night and sleep over the actual effects....?! However I have no idea if this works....

Has anyone had a similar experience and can give me any advice on that?

So about a year and a half ago I was introduced and started experimenting with mushrooms, my friends and I would always go on trips together, and for the most part, they were great experiences and almost always took something away from each trip that benefited my life and/or way of thinking. It wasn’t until about 8 months ago that I took 3 grams of Dino egg and had a complete psychedelic breakthrough. Long story short of what I experienced on said trip: the come up hit me quick and I knew right from the start that this trip was going to be “different”, my friends on the come up were all going through it a bit and I remember feeling like there was general sense that something was “wrong”, something on a large scale that was out of my control, I then saw an entity appear and start examining me through my buddies ceiling, the entity faded away and almost instantly I felt amazing, like all negative emotions were stripped away. I then proceeded to lay on my friends mattress on his living room floor for the following hours while music played on his speaker and I was in an absolute trance, it was quite literally the best I have ever felt in my life. It felt like my entire mind was open to me like a library and I was communicating with this higher being in my mind and I could ask it anything I wanted to know about myself and it would have an answer. No actual words were said by this “being” but I knew exactly what it was saying, if that makes sense. Long story short, there were eyes everywhere and I was in an absolute trance.

And then the come down.

The come down was the exact opposite of the peak. Every negative emotion there was to feel, I felt, all at the same time. I had to leave my friends apartment and go into the common area cuz they were all pissing me off like crazy, even though I knew they weren’t doing anything wrong. As I left the room life began to feel not real and I had to put a lot of effort into grounding myself and not letting myself lose it. I called my friend who had introduced us to mushrooms and is very well educated on naturally occurring substances (mushrooms, weed, etc.) and just sat and told him about my trip and what I was going through. Anyways, once I came down, I felt very off and unsettled. For the next 3 days I would dissociate pretty bad throughout my day. Life didn’t feel real and I felt very disconnected from reality. After about a week I was okay and things went back to normal and as someone who had dealt with an anxiety disorder my whole life, my anxiety was actually the best it’s been for a long time up to that point in my life.

Then, I ended up moving out of my parents house and to a small town in the middle of nowhere with two other friends to sell cars at a ford dealership. Obviously working in sales can be a very stressful job and I was living on my own for the first time in my life, living in a small town I didn’t enjoy living in (I now live in Calgary). And I found my anxiety started to come back, actually quite worse than it’s every been, because this time, rather than just the normal symptoms and feelings you get with anxiety, I would dissociate pretty bad and get that same “life isn’t real” feeling. It got so bad to the point where I would be sitting on the edge of my bed vibrating like a tuning fork feeling like I was going to slip into the “void”. I was genuinely worried for a while that I was going clinically insane. I then decided to get back on my anxiety medication (escitalopram for those of you that are familiar) that I stopped taking about 2 years ago. It helped… a lot. Probably the best decision I’ve made for myself in a long time. So this brings us up until now. I recently moved to Calgary, and switching my prescription to a local pharmacy has been a pain in the ass and taking unnecessarily long, so I haven’t been able to take my medication for the last 4 days. And the old symptoms are starting to come back full force (life not feeling real, violent anxiety, slight paranoia, AND the most fun one to deal with, very disturbing intrusive thoughts) Now I know these issues won’t be a problem once I’m back on my medication, however, I do not want to be medicated for the rest of my life. And these last 4-6 months have shown me I clearly have some unresolved issues/trauma/dare I say mild PTSD from my breakthrough. So, for anyone that’s taking the time to read this (which if you have I am truly grateful and I appreciate it 🙏) I want to know if there’s anyone out there that can offer any advice as to how I can recover and get past these symptoms and feelings, or if this is just something that’s going to be with me for the rest of my life?

Hi!

I have done a couple of 2g lemon tek golden teacher trips lately. Relatively mild (I'm on the heavier side) but a lot of fun. I've followed the common guidelines surrounding waiting at least 1-2 weeks between trips and other best practices surrounding diet, set and setting.

Both of my recent trips though I've come out the other side wanting to go straight back in, or to have had a more intense experience. The latter desire is easy to satisfy without bending the rules, but I am curious about successive trips all the same.

I'm also aware of various practices surrounding other substances, in particular DMT/ayahuasca ceremonies which involve successive doses over several days. I understand that this is a different substance, but I can't help but be curious about trying such a ritualistic dosing cycle with shrooms or other psychedelics.

Just, given how much successive dosing days runs in the face of common wisdom, I'm curious if anyone has any experience of doing this safely and can advise on the best practices in this case.

Thanks ☆~☆

Learning to ask for help

I find it somewhat ironic that psychedelics, which are often celebrated for their potential to heal mental health issues, are simultaneously considered dangerous for individuals with a family history of certain issues. It's like they hold the power to be both medicine and risk, depending on the circumstances.

This duality fascinates me because it raises deeper questions about how these substances interact with different minds. For example, does having a predisposition to mental health conditions make one's brain more susceptible to negative outcomes, or could it also open the door to more profound healing experiences under the right conditions?

Has anyone here, knowing the risks, decided to explore psychedelics despite such a background? If so, what motivated you, and what did you experience?

I have been gifted two small hearth chocolates. Supposedly they are leucistic Cambodian shroom powder mixed with chocolate. I think, and hope, it's 4 aco dmt infused chocolate. Anyone ever seen these and can share some info? Supposedly from ibiza

Edit:it seems photo doesn't show, it's two little 1inch*1inch chocolate hearts wrapped in pink a d violet Aluminum foil no brand

Obviously the word rewire is a bit much so I’m referring the change in neuroplasticity that comes with taking mushrooms. Does dmt do it too?
