Hi everyone,

Tomorrow I’m planning to take 1 gram of Golden Teacher which is the most I’ve taken so far. I’ve done microdoses (0.1g) three times, and the only “macro” I’ve done was 0.8g of Blue Yeti with a therapist. It went fine!

This time I want to disconnect, put on some music, set an intention, meditate, and just listen to and connect with myself.

But… I need reassurance that I won’t lose my mind or end up running naked through the village or something.

What do you think? Will I be okay? Thanks!

For me, it’s:

• thc (during + while falling asleep that night)
• melatonin then trying to sleep
• wim hoff breathing
• going a night without sleep then trying to sleep
• sometimes while dreaming

I’m curious if shrooms or LSD triggers 5meo DMT reactivations for anyone. I did 1g shrooms and it didn’t cause reactivation until I added thc near the end of the trip, but I’m curious if reactivations could happen with 3g alone.

I’m 3 months out from my last 5meo DMT trip, which was my first and also a breakthrough experience.

Something I really value about K is that the duration can be between 1-3 hours, and can be psychedelic for me when paired with meditation but it’s quite harmful on the body.

Are there any known psychs with a similar profile? Ability to be redosed and a duration that’s less than mushrooms but more than DMT freebase?

I’m not familiar with any of the analogues or the research chems so wondering if any of them are like this.

Im not a big fan of cannabis - personally I find it to be like mushrooms/LSD’s stupid cousin…great for eating whole boxes of cereal and sleeping

Sorry if this is question has an obvious answer. I was wondering if the amount you take is proportionate to the amount of time you should wait for your tolerance to lower.

Example: 1 tab today, then wait a month. Vs 4 tabs today, then wait a month. Will the tolerance be the same? Or is it more like if i take 1 tab i should wait a month, and if i take 4 tabs i should wait 2 months?

Hi everyone,

I’m a female psychology student using ketamine as part of my mental health journey, which has opened my eyes to the connections between personal healing, the collective consciousness, and the deeper layers of reality. Beyond my own experiences, I’m conducting research for a larger study to explore how the mind, science, and universe are interconnected. My goal is to demystify our origins, uncover the ties between trauma, healing, and consciousness, and bridge scientific understanding with the profound insights psychedelics offer.

I’ve found that the key to unlocking the brain’s full potential lies in trauma healing. As I use ketamine and EMDR to work through my own trauma, I’ve started to parallel my experiences with those of monks who have achieved enlightenment and the profound mental states that come with it.

I’m looking for a thought partner with a strong science background (ideally a degree or substantial academic experience, or at the very least someone who is science-minded and fluent in these subjects) to either directly assist with this research or simply share and discuss ideas. This isn’t about swapping fixed perspectives. I need someone who understands we all know very little and is willing to evolve their perspective, assist me in evolving mine, and help progress this study.

NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE PART OF THE STUDY!

Topics of Interest:

Physics and quantum mechanics

Psychedelics and consciousness

Connecting to the collective consciousness

Trauma and the loss of “self”

Neuroplasticity and the brain’s ability to heal

Altered states of consciousness

Memory reconsolidation and unlocking the mind’s potential

Shared synchronicities, thought sharing, and unique psychedelic phenomena only experienced by psychedelic users

The evolution of human consciousness, i.e., The Stoned Ape Theory

I’d love to connect with someone curious and willing to question and refine their views as we explore these concepts together. I would prefer a female research buddy but am open to working with anyone educated and open-minded. Feel free to message me if this resonates!

Would be cool to meet other pscyhonauts in the UK, share stories and experiences :)

Has anyone watched the show Undone on Amazon prime??

Hello fellow Reddit friends I was wondering if anyone has ever watched the show Undone on Amazon Prime? The show was recommended to me by my therapist as he said “it has a wonderful visual aesthetic, presented in a sort of animated realistic look, and is a pretty trippy show. It talks about concepts you’re interested in like indigenous cultures, shamanism, dreams, reality, and quantum physics.”

Dude it’s amazing lol. I highly recommend it. It has a lot of high level concepts and is real af. And I agree with everything my therapist said about it! Let me know what goes through your minds if you check it out! Let’s chat:) dm me or respond in here as I love these concepts. It even gets into family trauma and other juicy human ideas lol. Peace.

Does anyone else dislike the comedown?

I feel like the best part of the trip is a scary come up and I keep pushing my doses higher and higher to feel more like I’m dieing…. Maybe it’s bc I’ve struggled with drug addiction my whole life and I always gotta push the limits…

Does anyone else feel like after the peak a lot of disappointments? I just tripped on 400ugs and think about going to 500 this weekend…

What’s your guys favorite activity’s for high doses of lsd? 350ug+

Personally I like to listen to music and wander around my apt staring at walls and trying to redownload my brain (long story)

Looking for some new better idea since I couldn’t quite figure out the whole brain Delma till I started to come down…. Is meditation rly all that great? What are the best light hearted movies to watch ?

How can I better set my intentions for a trip? I usually eat my shrooms (avg 3.5) and just enjoy my time, but I would like to get more positive outcomes about thing that I want to change about myself. I definitely learn things about myself, but I would like more direct advice from them.

Okay so two of us have done mushrooms before (like about 10 times before) and two of my friends haven’t, one is still deciding if she will try it or just watch us. Here is the mushrooms chocolates we got. I honestly would love all four of us to do it but don’t want either of the newbies to try it if they’re so unsure because they might have a bad trip. I do have Xanax I can bring as an emergency abort trip button. I have a super low tolerance to mushrooms, I did one square of this chocolate once and had light visuals and felt like 3/10 trippy although very nauseous at times). I had one bad trip before in college where I projectile vomited and got kind of erratic. I tend to feel pukey on nearly all trips, even the best ones. Any tips for making this a fun and smooth trip? Also the Airbnb has a sauna and a hot tub- would those be too dangerous for us to use while tripping? Thanks

Somebody experienced and who is not condescending, please let me know the combination of Nitrous Oxide and PE or LSD and effects. The limits, caution, etc.

It’s absolutely bananas how i feel like a wild animal when i get the flight or fight response during a trip for example when i get jumpscared. All the automatic movements of instinct actually feels like very conscious movements in the moment and fuck, it feels like something else. It feels very powerful and i don’t know if it is true but because the automatic movements feel conscious as if i steer the automatic movements even though it is automatic. i feel like i upgraded my flight or fight response by updating the information from my rational mind to the automatic movements system

Very weird to explain but that’s how it felt.

Animals have no egos, they’re focused on one thing, survival and instincts.

They have no concept of anything besides taking care of basic needs and recognizing danger.

Does this mean that the animal world is inherently psychedelic?

Hey, fellow psychonauts!

I've been diving deeper into the world of psychedelics, mainly with LSD, which I've come to love for its ability to provide both deep insights and creative exploration. However, I’ve been curious about the concept of a "breakthrough" on LSD. I know that terms like "breakthrough" are often associated with DMT or Salvia, but I wonder if it's something that can happen with LSD too?

To anyone who has experienced it:

• What was your breakthrough experience like on LSD? How would you describe the intensity and the moment of transition?
• Did you feel like you were in full control or did the trip completely take over in a similar way to how DMT or Salvia can feel like a complete immersion into another reality?
• How did the visuals and emotional depth compare to other psychedelics you've tried?
• Did it feel more gradual or was it more like a sudden shift where you lost track of time, space, and self?

I’m interested in hearing about both positive and intense experiences — especially those where you felt like you crossed a threshold or reached some sort of "next level" understanding. Also, how does LSD’s "flow" compare to substances like Psilocybin or DMT in terms of the experience of losing oneself or ego dissolution?

Looking forward to hearing your stories and any tips for navigating such deep experiences. Thanks!

I’m working with someone who has an insane tolerance to LSD, Mushrooms and RC’s like 4-HO-MET (analog of psilocybin).

This guy can take 1200 ug of LSD and walk around, sending messages on his phone and barely have any visual effects beyond morphing and breathing.

Same with mushrooms. He takes 150 grams (5 cases) of truffles, and he has some close eyes visuals and open eye morphing and breathing.

4-HO-MET he takes the entire strip, 210 mg, same story.

He is not on any SSRI/medicine.

Has anyone had a similar issue, and if so have you found a psychedelic that does affect you at normal dosages?

He describes the body load as being very intense at the described dosages.

As there are more serotonin receptors in the gut than the brain, would low levels be noticed here first? Like gas, cramps etc before we notice a lower mood?

I did 1.5 gr of psylocibin recently, I was alone.

I got super nauseous really quickly, You know what’s crazy? Since I had so much nausea I decided to make myself puke (granted, I started freaking out for a moment and my ego wanted OUT) but as soon as I reached the toilet, the nausea dissipated and I heard a man’s voice in my ear clear as day saying “I got you, you’re ok” phew, that’s when I realized I had to let go, I was not in control and that was ok.

Returned from the bathroom and the nausea came back up… “the mushrooms don’t want to leave me” I thought, “this is stronger than me… let go”.

So I had to go lay down and then for the entire trip I couldn’t get up because my body felt so sick and uncomfortable to move.

Eventually my mind had calmed down. The nausea remained and I couldn’t keep my eyes open for long, they just felt heavy and I felt like I was about to 💩 my pants, as if my whole body was opening up like a lotus… like when you have a baby kind of.

Is this normal? I wanted to go out to the patio and enjoy the stars and wind but I stopped having control of my body so all I did was stay in bed and trip my brains out, it was great… but physically uncomfortable.

My nose always feels funny on them, probably due to the vasoconstriction, I'm curious if this happens to anyone else?

I’ve got a buddy who uses lsd every weekend…

I use maybe once a month… but I get worried he’s over doing it does anyone know if long term effects that long term weekly lsd use has caused ? Usually he uses 200-400ugs plus tolerance cap space as well….

Thank you for the input!

Over the past 4 years I’ve been self medicating with psilocybin to help with my addiction to opioids and recent surfaced childhood trauma from my trips that’s been haunting me for almost 30 years.

I’ve made some progress but I still feel so much fear and anxiety and thus I use opioids to hide from what I need to face. I have a trip sitter that I might use but before I use his services I want to try one more time by myself. But this time in a more impactful way. Before I was listening to music or watching a film. Granted they did make an impact.

I heard sitting in a dark room, no music or minimal distractions is a way to get a greater communication with the mushrooms. I plan to have my phone for documenting along with my intent and that’s it.

From experienced users I would like to know what I can do to maximize and make an impact to help guide me to face what I’ve been avoiding. And from there integrate. I have a stubborn mind and evidence from the past for me to learn and acknowledge what I need to work on nearly got me killed.

I just want the light inside to dim the darkness that’s dwells within. I want to take back control and do what I know I do best.

Thinking about going to Mexico. Your experience on it would be greatly appreciated. As it has a "cardiac" risk I want to do it at Beond. I understand that this isn't a fun one. Trying to work through some issues.

I mean to the point where you are unable to see or interact with the "real world", and have completely lost touch with your body.

I had an experience where I seemed to become a disembodied point of consciousness "somewhere else" - as far as I could tell I no longer had a body, and even though I was terrified, it would have been impossible for me to apply the usual advice (concentrate on breathing, take a trip killer etc). Even trying to repeat a mantra in my mind was not helping, as I became increasingly unable to hold onto concepts such as words.

I was wondering how common this is.

I've been exploring psychedelics for their antidepressant and social benefits, particularly shrooms( not so much in recent years though). While I've tried ketamine, mescaline, and LSD, nothing matches the unique afterglow I got from shrooms - even after an somewhat uncomfortable, very light trip, it felt like MDMA-lite afterwards for a few hours. Currently, Phenibut+kratom or MDMA are the only substances that reliably get me socializing. Has anyone combined either with shrooms for longer-lasting positive effects? Because I feel I could easily drift into "bad territory" in terms of mind space, and taking them alongside could certainly help getting the trip in a positive direction, but I wonder if that takes away from their famous "afterglow" or realizations that can reshape ones daily life. And I see many people claiming a twice a month to once a month shrooms trip can be great to "maintain".

My main struggle is severe social inhibition - complete inability to engage in conversation or be assertive. I've tried extensive therapy and exposure: 4.5 hours weekly partner dance, 4 hours MMA, 6 hours strength training, had many friend groups over the years, but ended up going low contact when depressed and when I reached out my lack of verbal fluidity hindered me of getting them to meet again. Nothing helps. I just awkwardly exist, getting socially excluded everywhere due to my lack of "presence."

This stems from growing up with an ADHD mom who'd monologue endlessly - by age 7, I'd fantasize about jumping from the car during her rambles. Any interaction was 90% her talking (I can literally put down the phone for 10 minutes during calls and she wouldn't notice). Classic helicopter parent, couldn't handle silence, never remembered anything I said. Living with her repeatedly in an isolated farmhouse made everything worse. Dad noticed but didn't care (likely NPD). I have ADHD too, ignored until recently - Vyvanse helps with tasks but barely touches the social issues.

Years of this destroyed my sense of social presence. Even now, at 33, I feel strange when people actually acknowledge what I say, and feel horrendously out of place at any interaction mostly, except if the other person is understanding and doesn't put a lot of pressure in my to bring myself in, which my friends do (and the many I lost did). Looking for something that might help rewire this. I take Salsa and MMA classes both 4 hours per week each, plus do cardio and fitness. Still struggle a lot with staying on task, or learning (currently in an Software developer scholarship), but I feel this has a lot to do with feeling black pilled after being the outsider and loner.

I'm nearly 3 years out from a life changing traumatic journey. I took a massive dose of psilocybin along with Syrian Rue in a unsupportive environment. Really tore up my life for a while. Was reflecting on it this morning on a walk and wanted to share my thoughts to see if anyone has reflections to share back.

Any trauma that happens to you will get brought by reminders of the traumatic experience. What I found particularly distressing about having a traumatic psychedelic journey that is my trigger was my own thoughts, my own subconscious. I was constantly being triggered by my own lived experience.

In addition, I found that the fact that this occurred from using DRUGS meant that I felt massive shame in knowing that I couldn't even share with most people what was going on for me because I presumed I'd be either misunderstood or shamed for "doing it to myself".

Ultimately, I'm a very different person than I was before that experience. I did a lot of therapy, not just for this but also to grow things that hadn't grown in decades. I found a psychedelic community that understood and accepted these things. I went back and did several guided journeys.

I'm really grateful for who I am now and I love my life a lot more now. I still question though, was that Traumatic Experience necessary to get here?

Considering this for the first time, have had them separately, just wondering if this is a good pairing and if people have experience doing this at all?

Have enjoyed both separately, considering 3 2CB pills with 3 LSD tabs (170ug).

Just asking as I've not heard much about this combination, thanks.
