So I took 5g of mushrooms about 3 hours ago. I still have yet to feel pretty much anything.

I grew them myself and have had multiple very good trips from this same exact batch of mushies. I haven't tripped in about two weeks. Why the hell aren't they kicking in? I did 5g of this same batch awhile back and was floored. I don't get it.

Hey everyone, quick question:

I know people tend to take these two somewhere between 45 and 90 minutes apart, however would you get the same effects if you did it at the same time? I was wanting to take 100mg of MDMA, 10mg of 2CB, then smoke about 30 minutes after on the come up. Would this be a bad idea or should I be fine.

Thanks!

I am a 38 year old female living in the Inland Empire in Southern California. I am a recovering addict with 8 years clean, however I am very interested in psychadelics. I have done acid as well as mushrooms a dozen or so times but I have never had an opportunity to try DMT, Ayahuasca, or that toad venom from its skin lol... I am not only looking for the substance itself but for a community to experience it with. If anyone can help me in my search for a deeper understanding of our human existence I would be so grateful! I'm sitting here doing homework and watching Hamilton's 2nd season, the episode on DMT and just trying to figure out, like where do I even start or go to look so I can experience this for myself. Thanks so much! If you have any experiences or advice you would like to chat about please hit me up!

I had an experience just an hour or so ago when I was peaking that I want to write down before I forget.

I was on the verge of a bad trip. I have never had one but this feeling has come up once or twice before and I feel like I have finally deciphered its meaning. It was like walking on a ridge. .. eine Gratwanderung. Where you can see the top of the mountain. Its actually really close. But there is this paradox, that if you let go and just let your self fall you will reach the peak. But if you keep on fighting you will fight forever and not reach the top. Your fight will eventually lead to a bad trip. I could take the message the trip gave me and immediately apply it to my life. I have to let go of control, everything will work out as it should. Worry is a deep desire to take control of something that might or might not happen. So letting go means to stop worrying, simple. And it feels actually simple.

I can imagine people with an OCD could very likely experience something similar when using psychedlics, especially if its done with good guidance.

What should I ask for or bring to it? I’m feeling general anxiety, typical life worries. How do I open up and give in to it completely?

Hey gang.

I had psychedelic trip yesterdays. I took 7.1 grams of Golden Teachers magic mushrooms. The potency of the mushrooms weren't so intense, so I had to take more than 5g to induce a heroic-dose state for the internal work that I needed to do.

The trip went great and I'm currently in the integration process... but I have a faint headache that has been going for 17 hours now. It's really not debilitating, but I would prefer to not feel a headache. Any recommendations for how I can combat this?

Thanks so much!

First time using DMT. Vape pen. No breakthrough. I have mixed feelings about that. Initially disappointed because I knew how hard breakthrough would be with a vape. Slightly ok with having to work my way there now. If I had freebase, I’m the kind of person to ignore all warnings. Just load like 75 mg and see where I go. I’m going to take it as the universe telling me to work up to that with this one. Anyways onto what happened.

I take a few hits off the vape. First 7 or so seconds nothing. Then a real heavy feeling, not bad. Very similar to when the mushrooms say that it’s time to lay down. Visuals come on fast. That’s something I now understand about this drug, it is fast. Nothing too crazy initially. I see the eyeballs people talk about. They’re popping in and out of existence. My led string lights dance around a bit. This is the bulk of the trip. Very lucid thought patterns too. Not like LSD or mushrooms. Like I’m still thinking “soberly”, mostly. But then, something happens. In the span of 2-3 seconds reality flashes or shutters between normal reality albeit with some eyeballs, and what I can really only describe as a matrix like code that underlies this reality. Each flash was like half a second. Like a camera shuttering real fast for a few seconds. And that’s pretty much it. Will push the boundaries a little bit more later. Might mix it with a tab or two. We’ll see.

Movies like The Revenant, Interstellar, Return of The King, Dark Knight Rises, Dune 2 and Civil War all scratched the itch the way I needed it to.

Killers of the Flower Moon is on my shortlist, but I'm hoping to get a few more suggestions?

Life is a race or not?

=) I think life is not a race or not a gift but I think life is a road where you don't which direction you are going,if you are happy you move,you are sad you move,life is a walk where you are alone sometimes someone walks with you for some distance then they leave and again you walk in anger, sad, happy, funny .I must think a good way to live life is to make good and small memories, when you walk alone then you have something to remember. Then the journey took rest for sometime then you again start in another corner of this universe.

Just wondering, has any else noticed the spirits in 🍄 trips recently are no longer nature based and are technological based? I've encountered a few types specifically, all appear to behave robotic and programmed for a purpose in relation to its environment. Unable to detect any form of attempted communication.

Type 1) Two Large, vertical, symmetrical dome shaped body with robotic arms. Seemed to be creating and destroying entire worlds.

2. Robotic worms, these came up to me, occasionally inspecting me and some performing some kind of energy exchange. I concluded that it may have been bad as I had the feeling of being drained.

3. but like DMT, but the environment itself was holo fractal and each little piece appeared to be robotic and have a hive like intelligence.

Is it just me?

It's so hard to read these things if they are good, bad or neutral and understand their purpose

I love mushrooms I have eaten them many times and grown them I want to try dipping my toes in the psychedelic water a little more but I was always told to stay away from it and that it's nothing like mushrooms should I just take one tab or half a tab or should I take both I would like a good experience I don't want something too overwhelming for my first time I will say I do love the visuals on mushrooms any tips or advice would be great do I treat it the same as when I'm on mushrooms am I going to always want to put on a funny movie or show get all comfy and a fluffy blanket is there anything I should do before taking it or after should I have food and snacks ready or should I eat before or wait to eat till after . What are some do's and don'ts someone told me to play some call of duty but I don't know how that will work what are some fun things that you would recommend doing on it I don't plan on leaving my house for my first time . Is there any thing I should have anyone got any suggestions of some activities and fun things I can do inside to make the experience better someone told me to try my favorite fruit said they ate their favorite for and that it was the best thing they've ever had in their life apparently they told me that it's like seeing everything for the first time again is there much of a difference between mushrooms and LSD buy one friend told me that with mushrooms you're the passenger with LSD you are the driver thanks in advance for any tips or advice I appreciate it

The concept of the Homopsychonaut envisions an evolution beyond Homo sapiens sapiens, driven by the conscious and therapeutic use of psychedelics. Just as the Stoned Ape Theory (proposed by Terence McKenna) suggests that our primate ancestors made a significant evolutionary leap toward humanity through the consumption of psychedelic substances, the idea of the Homopsychonaut proposes that psychedelics can help us take the next step in human evolution.

While Homo sapiens sapiens is defined by self-awareness and rational thought, the Homopsychonaut represents a human who transcends the current boundaries of the mind and ego. Through the expansion of consciousness facilitated by psychedelics, this new humanity would be capable of reconnecting with nature, healing its traumas, experiencing deeper spirituality, and achieving a state of holistic harmony.

The Homopsychonaut seeks not only to understand the external world but also to explore the depths of the psyche and the mysteries of consciousness, using psychedelics as tools for personal and collective transformation.

question: for the first time I took a dose of dmt for 2 days in a row, 3 different times (per day), 10, 20, 30 and 40mg. but EVERY TIME except 10mg (from this did only get 3min visuals) I forget everything as soon as the trip ends and I want to open my eyes. in a larger dose I just remember such a confused mess. I took 2mg of rivatrill in the morning, can benzos cause this kind of memory loss? because all the trips were completely different from what was described here. n.ndmt it was 100% and good. but it's annoying when you don't remember anything as soon as you open your eyes. how common is this? and what could be the cause? I smoke from a pipe, and at no point is there any fear, anxiety, nothing negative every time, I just follow with interest. my boyfriend says that I laugh and smile during the trip but then I can't remember anything, please help

My only memory of 30-40mg doses is chaos + Thai/Indian theme, not understanding where I am (no fear though) I'm just really confused the whole time

Can sleeping in the same room as living psychedelic plants induce effects? Highly doubt it, can't see any plausible mechanism for this, but just asking as noticed some particularly vivid dreams after sleeping with several salvia in the room (they had to be moved to a warmer place). 99% coincidental, sure...

Its been too much and too deep. Its been a barrage. Its too degrading and gaslighting. Ive lost everything basically.

Its like the second half of vanilla sky. Or in fight club when he's like "god doesnt like you" I guess.

It is what it is.

When curious as to whether it may be possible to duplicate some form of "super"natural phenomenon, willing suspension of disbelief has to be upheld as far as that While you are performing the experiment, you do not have the right to question whether or not you will succeed. The experiment demands unwavering devotion to the idea that you will succeed. And rigorous skepticism and disbelief is for after the experiment is finished, with which to analyze the results.

A psychedelically heightened state of love may be useful for perfecting one's emotional hierarchy. It is possible to unconditionally attach to being in love with everything and nothing, or with all sentient life, or to manifest objectless love and utilize it to dissolve all attachments.

Attachments are often discussed as a hindrance within enlightenment. One state of mind that is without attachments is that of the loveless sociopath. This is a state of mind that does not impart, in and of itself (*although it may have a consistency based track record/history that says otherwise), any reason to trust the individual occupied by it. And so if the loveless sociopath is spotted, it may not be the wisest decision to network with the individual - at least not based upon that he or she is a loveless sociopath, no other data provided.

Loveless sociopathy is egotistical, and so cannot be the attachment free ego transcendence enlightenment literature bluntly discusses in places, and only hints at in others.

Objectless love is like a perpetual motion machine, generating more and more new love as if from nothing. It does not make the person who surrenders attachments to it into assholes. There is a concern for all sentient life (so long as there is any reflection upon all sentient life - which is inevitable concerning the most common enlightenment forms of progression) that vetos all other forms of concern. It is not entirely "selfless" in the sense of total renunciation of all forms of "personal" advantage, because the entity emitting objectless love is a small part of all sentient life, and also because this entity's benefit empowers it to assist other beings.

One of the most useful psychedelic experiences I can fathom concerns utilizing the love high commonly induced by the drug to find, and learn to emit, objectless love. Even if all attachments are not released into this objectless love, it will be a consistent and profound source of intoxicant long after all the drugs have worn off. And if all attachments are released into this objectless love, there will be no more sorrow.

At the peak of an intense psychedelic experience, meditate on focusing love upon that which it is easiest to most difficult to love (perhaps last on the list would be your most hated enemy, and first your husband wife or girlfriend), then upon that which is neither easy nor difficult to love (neutral objects), then upon everything and nothing. Then, finally, emit love while intentionally maintaining objectlessness in terms of its focus. Visualize yourself as the sun emitting love in all directions while carefully avoiding filling in the blank, while careful not to love anything in particular. Lastly, continue emitting this objectless love wherever you go, permitting it to determine your attitude toward the objects you contemplate without letting it actually attach to them.

It caresses all things and all sentient life, but it never clings.

If an actor can sell a character, it is possible to control emotion. If it is possible to control emotion, through focus, it is possible to release fear and insecurity, and pride - and augment one's capacity for love.

It is my personal opinion that the highest peaks of love are dangerous unless pride is kept small, unless pride does not go up with the meditator's heart. That pride in interaction with love, both augmented, creates delusions and hallucinations, because instinct interacts with imagination.

To everyone who has been systematic in trying various methods and substances to create the best possible trips - please share!

What got me thinking about this topic is DMT breath work which I have been experimenting with (I think combining this with mushrooms or LSD might be interesting), and once I tried 200ug LSD and then did 1g mushrooms once I felt the LSD had peaked - which was simply stunning!

I'd love to hear your preferred methods!

Can anyone help me conceptualize this experience? I’m 20 years old and a female. I’m fairly experienced with psychedelics, and I feel a passion towards them. They have helped me in more ways than I can even comprehend, but that’s beside the point. I had my first DMT breakthrough experience about a month ago. Damn I haven’t gone a day since without it occupying my mind in some way. As time goes on, it more so feels like a very profound dream but I know deep within my consciousness I am permanently altered. It wasn’t a particularly “positive” experience in the sense that it wasn’t enjoyable and euphoric. It felt as though I was being overwhelmingly observed by a singular higher dimensional being, and i felt my ego slipping away. It felt like I couldn’t breathe and that I was being tormented. At first It felt like it was just innocently curious about what had suddenly come upon its presence and then quickly a sense of frustration and annoyance. It communicated to me in a way that made me feel stupid. Like, “who do you think you are, what are you doing here, why do you think you’re significant enough to visit this realm, ect. It basically told me I’m not ready and that my ego is too big. The message I got from it was that I needed to look within in order to gain the tools and access to peer beyond the veil, rather than “cheat” my way into it with DMT. It kept me there for what seemed like eternity, not like salvia where you completely lose all sense of reality, just more like the passage of time stopped and I didn’t feel it passing if that makes sense. I started to plead with it saying I am only a seeker of knowledge and power and its energy towards me changed instantly. It was forgiving and supportive before letting me go back to earth with a feeling of love. It almost felt like I had convinced it I had the right intentions, because it felt like it could’ve put me through alot worse if I continued to hold onto my ego and not respect it. I can’t really tell you how it looked because it’s fading away in my memory which makes me sad. All I know is that i experienced and perceived the most complex math I’ve ever seen. demonstrated in ways beyond our dimension. The being looked robotic and geometric. I would really appreciate anyone’s insight on this, or if anyone has had a resonant experience.

A friend gave me 2 hits of lsd awhile back for free I use 4aco dmt occasionally, just because I rarely have the time to dedicate to an lsd trip, but tonight I do and I’ve decided it was the time, I’ve heavily researched this and done both substances before alone

But anywho never had gel tabs the come up is going to smack me in the face any second, hard I imagine but while I can still function, is this thing supposed to like completely dissolve? Had paper blotter but never gels before

Also I always trip alone and am expecting this to be a wild ride so in a hour or three I will likely be posting here reporting on how it’s going, if that’s not allowed somebody just lmk, it’s not planned it just usually happens lol I guess since I have no one irl to talk too

Also disclaimer, it’s been a few years since I did acid, but do occasionally take rather large doses of 4aco dmt. And I’ll be vaping thc but that is all.

I have a sleeping med I take for sleep obviously but just kinda like as needed, it’s seroquel so if it gets to wild I’ll take one of those but am not expecting this it’s just my “break glass in case of emergency” but so far have never needed it’s

It’s starting to hit now both I guess took lsd at 10:25 and 4aco orally at 10:45 that is why I have made this post so long 😂

I’m assuming I can spit this thing out now it’s been 55 minutes since I put it in, If I do I’ll figure out if it’s even really gel. I have one more I didn’t take also

What’s the best way you’ve consumed powdered shrooms? What would you recommend?

I’ve heard about LSA being in morning glory which is pretty cheap and is similar to lsd. I’ve heard you can get it on amazon but my only worry is the dosage. I’m 6.2 ft tall and 240 lbs so i’m worried that i would have to eat a ridiculous amount to trip. I don’t think there is a LSA dosage calculator but please correct me if i’m wrong. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey everyone it's my first time posting here and i had a question if anyone knows any lesser know psychedelics it can even be plants that have psychedelic properties that not everyone knows about

I first started experimenting with microdosing a year ago and found it to be quite helpful. I’ve struggled with severe clinical depression/melancholic depression for many years as well as generalized anxiety. When I first started microdosing I gained some new insights into my past and how events from the past connect to my current struggles, which was a cool and interesting experience. I felt like I had several epiphanies and there were general positive mood-boosting effects as well. Over time the epiphanies and mood boosting effects waned and I was left feeling anxious and dysphoric whenever I took a microdose instead, so I stopped.

Yesterday I took my first real trip with a guide (paid service). I took 2.4 grams. I had several sessions with the guide beforehand and they felt confident that mushrooms would be a good thing for me. My psychonaut friends told me the same thing. Even the psychologist I’ve been seeing for the past year validated my choice. My intention was straightforward. I struggle with intense self consciousness and shame and have an inability to cry around other people and be vulnerable. My hope for this trip was that it would flip a switch inside my brain and make me less emotionally repressed, magically allowing me to feel comfortable with things that I’ve always felt uncomfortable with. I also struggle with internalized homophobia and have never been in a relationship despite being in my late twenties, which is clearly connected to my repressed state.

The trip itself was extremely unpleasant. I spent 90% of it on the floor in fetal position with my eyes closed. I felt sick, incredibly heavy, and dizzy. I felt like my limbs didn’t belong to me. It was so disorienting and unsettling. I also had bad tachycardia and shortness of breath. Most of the time my breathing was labored or I was full on panting. I couldn’t speak or communicate at all during the trip. It was a very inward trip and I don’t even really remember the specifics of what I thought about. My recollection is fragmented and dreamlike - it truly feels like I had a bad dream.

I was offered a higher dose to see if I could achieve a breakthrough and I declined. My usually strong and incessant inner voice was toned down and less “in control”, but still present, and even when I was tripping hard I still found myself internally analyzing my thoughts and being hard on myself. I remember wanting to ask my guide to hold me and keeping to myself, and I reflexively beat myself up with thoughts like “if you can’t bring yourself to ask for something like this now, you’ll never be able to.” When I felt the urge to cry I fought tooth and nail to suppress it and succeeded. When bad thoughts and feelings came up, I pushed them away. I knew exactly what I was doing and that made it so much harder. Maybe this is a lame analogy, but it felt like I had brought the ring to mount doom and decided at the last minute to hold on to it.

While the trip was going on I was just waiting for it to end. I kept asking how long it had been. When it finally abated, I didn’t feel a sense of calm or emotional relief. I felt a sick, awful feeling in the pit of my stomach, like a physical manifestation of all of my bad feelings. It felt like none of those bad feelings were allowed to escape. It felt like they had just been drawn closer to the surface, without any sort of relief or release. I’ve never felt more emotionally blocked.

The rest of the night I felt weepy (by myself, of course…), depressed, dysphoric, and I kept getting intense waves of dread and anxiety, like I was verging on a panic attack. I feel better today, but still very somber and disconnected. The sense of disappointment is overwhelming. I don’t feel ok. I feel like something bad has happened and like something bad will happen. I feel lost and alone and deflated. I worry that I’ve just made my mental health issues even worse, and that this was a mistake.

I’m not sure where to go from here. I had so many expectations for what this trip would do for me, and none of it panned out the way I expected it to. I thought it would be like an extremely enhanced therapy session where I would come out the other side with a sense of clarity. Instead it felt like a muddied, hazy, disorganized bad dream I can’t even make sense of. There’s a part of me that wants to just try and pretend that it never happened.

Thinking of smoking a joint before snuffing some yopo, I think it might enhance the effects of the snuff, and also making it a less painful experience. Is this even a good idea? Any recommendations?

I have a friend who did psychedelics and he said that he feels like he is the only conscious being. And I hear this idea from many others. This seems like a very common thought in psychedelic users. I had this thought once, and it is a painfully lonely view.

That statement doesn’t necessarily have to be egotistical. It can mean many things. I think what some people mean by that is they are the only conscious being in this present moment. We all experience life differently, we all perceive time differently, and because of this, who’s to say that your experience is somewhere in the past or the future relative to mine? How do I know that I am not just talking to an “echo” of a person? Is there really a consciousness behind those eyes with me at this moment? So, that feeling and kind of thought is not invalid. I can certainly see where that thought comes from. I used to sort of think that way, and it made me feel uneasy. I was a bit agnostic about it.

So how do you verify what the truth is? Well, there needs to be consciousness or awareness experiencing these kind of things (form, feelings, perceptions, and mental formations) behind all those things experiencing that as a reality right now in order for people to give reactions. The fact that when you talk to someone and they say something back is shining proof that we are all right here in the present. If you were to kick a cow in the utter, it’d cry out it pain. Its brain may not be as complex as a human one, but it has sentience. I like to think of consciousness as “the experiencer” that experiences reality. We all have one of those. If you were to peel away these aggregates that constitute a human being, take away the form, feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and leave nothing behind but consciousness, you’ll find that in essence, we are the same. With no knowledge or past experiences that bring up the appearance of us being separate, we would be the same exact person.

There are probably a lot of different interpretations of that idea of being the only thing with consciousness. What is your view on this?

planning on taking a tab tmrw morning

is it a good idea to wake up super early, drink some coffee, pop a tab, go on a run in the city. planning on running maybe 2h but if the lsd will get me hyperactive maybe longer. only thing is i will be coming back from the run home to my parents, will i be acting weird? will i still be high? lets say i wake up at 5 and go run then come back at around 8, they will wake up at (my guess) 11 or so. we’re planning on doing something later that day so what yall think?

P.S im usually quiet anyway so if i just dont talk much they wouldnt think much of it

Hey everyone! This is a harm reduction tip that doesn’t get mentioned often but can make a big difference—keep your blood sugar in check while using ketamine or similar compounds.

From personal experience and talking with friends, we’ve realized that low blood sugar can make the experience uncomfortable, especially if you’re on an empty stomach. Symptoms we’ve noticed include:

Feeling excessively cold or shivery

Low energy or lethargy

An uneasy or unpleasant physical sensation that can ruin the experience

If you haven’t eaten, please grab some juice, fruit, or a quick snack before starting. Something with natural sugars can help stabilize your energy, make you feel warmer, and significantly improve how you feel overall.

This advice isn’t just for ketamine—it applies to many substances, especially dissociatives and stimulants, which can suppress hunger or make you forget to eat. Your body works hard during these experiences, and keeping it fueled is key for a safer and more comfortable time.

TL;DR: Low blood sugar = bad vibes. Always snack on fruit or sip some juice to feel more lively, warmer, and balanced. Stay safe out there!

Anyone else notice this or have other tips to share? Let’s keep the discussion going and help each other out!

Lsd saved me from depression and anxiety, im a new person altogether. Just wanted to put it out there, i cant put in words how much im grateful for psychadelics.
