So yeah, I've went too far this December. Took 3 actually highly dosed tabs in the midst of my depression season - cold, dark and with no other intention to just see what happens.

I'll spare you the details and just abstract that my realisations were nothing new to me, yet I feel that they were better not thought about. It was mostly world-related, not self-related, which sucks cause I can't really change whatever happens out there.

I guess I'm just looking for some support. I've been already through a similar trip couple of years ago. I have a really hard time staying sane when the winter comes.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, I guess my methodology is just not productive to tripping properly but I've had two journeys now where I went to lie down on my bed to make myself comfy during a trip and ended up just sleeping through most of it. I remember seeing a lot of visuals during a hero dose, being in space and interacting with other things, beings but I don't remember the finer details of it, just the feelings I felt. When I woke up I kind of felt like my trip was incomplete and I didn't achieve the answers and clarity I was hoping for.

Same thing happened a month ago, took a 2g trip and kind of just slept through it, this time don't remember anything that happened. Does anyone else have similar experiences?

Are you kidding me these fucking. Retards. Wow wow wow this is so much fun wow and we keep doing g this because it’s so funny it so funny. Ohhbbbbbbbbbbb it’s so funny later losers that’s so funny later later later wowowowowowowowoeo wrrrrrtrrrrfft later

I’ve recently realized that we all have potential to become true gods since we all possess the divine spark of the Great Divinity at hand. There are many roads leading to this one destination. I’ve noticed that all religion speaks of discipline, reflection, creation, death, and birth. I’m starting to connect the dots and see that all of the depicted messiahs were once human and transcended past the mind frame of one. Salvation is essentially the key, and no i’m not saying christianity is the right path, I am saying that godhood is a state of being that is attainable but a lot of us will likely never reach it due to the immense sacrifice and self mastery needed to do so.

I say this because I wonder if you all have understood this concept and believe it so. Why do we hinder our own selves from becoming these powerful beings that govern the growth of the universe?

Take a look around, there is an imbalance in this world and a great evil governs it as we breathe in this current moment. Emancipate yourselves from its claws and overpower it through your own self. You are the chosen. We are the chosen.

In John 10:34, Jesus states that we are capable beings, “is it not written in your law, i have said ye are gods?” and we continue this cycle of self oppression and mental slavery to our lower selves. Would you rather die as a mortal or live eternally as a force of nature? I know this whole sub is full of people who believe that doing mushrooms once and calling themselves God is the way, but in my time on this planet, I believe that work is required to truly ascend the mundane plane of reality. Speak life, walk life, and most importantly be life. Eliminate your desires and grow to be selfless and you will meet the realm of Gods.

I don’t smoke that often because, deep down, I think I experience a lot of subconscious anxiety when I’m surrounded by people. But last night, I wanted to watch The Midnight Gospel, and for some reason, I had the sudden urge to do it while high.

Since I never actually buy weed myself, I went to meet some friends at a jazz bar, smoked with them, and had a beer, thinking I’d just head home after to chill and watch my show. But then—bam—my trip started.

While walking home, time completely broke down. The past, present, and future were all happening at the same time. I kept reliving the same second over and over, even though time was still somehow moving forward. It felt like my walk home was taking hours because I was constantly being pulled back into the past.

At some point, I made a video of myself explaining what I was experiencing so I could watch it later and make sense of it. Then I finally started The Midnight Gospel, but I couldn’t follow the plot, so I kept rewinding. That somehow made the whole time-loop effect even worse.

I eventually decided to just sleep it off, but then, in the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up to two people talking outside my window. And here’s the weirdest part: they were listening to the video I had recorded earlier and discussing it. But then I realized I was one of those people talking outside. And the person I was talking to was a friend of mine.

So basically, I was listening to myself talking from outside my own window. That’s when I thought: holy sht, I’m hallucinating hard.*

I forced myself back to sleep, thinking it would be over in the morning. But now it’s the next day, and I still feel like I’m stuck in this weird time distortion. It still feels like the past, present, and future are the same, and I keep reliving the same second in a loop.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this? And what can I do to make it stop? I’m kinda scared I’m gonna be stuck like this forever.

Hello!

For some context I am a freshman in college and (hypothetically) tripped on shrooms for the first time a few weeks ago. I loved the experience, and felt like it really benefitted my mind. I felt as though all my anxiety and worries went away, and I was living fully in the present moment. I felt as though I could look at things objectively, without any intrinsic unconscious biases I had.

Unlike weed or alcohol, I felt like my brain is better off now than it was before tripping, although lots of my anxiety and other issues returned a few days after the trip. This along with the fact that me and my friend (hypothetically) just bought a quarter pound of shrooms in bulk has lead me to want to start microdosing.

Is it okay to do this at my age? I know their hasnt been much research on microdosing, but I am very curious as to how it will effect me.

Has anyone expirience with these creatures

I just had an experience with mushrooms. What I normally do is consume ~1.2 grams of albino mushrooms, wait for the visions, and right at the peak, take a hit of weed and put myself into deep meditation.

So, I did it, but this time, the connection was really deep, and the trip was incredibly strong. I should add that this was after a two-month break—no weed, no mushrooms.

When I was there, in the abyss, my mind went crazy. I started to feel anxiety and fear. The eyes were looking at me in a way that felt like they could see through my soul. Then, I started receiving a message—a response to my intention—like a reprimand. It was really intense, and I even tried to escape by breaking the meditation.

When I did that, some voice or thought told me to go back and finish, so I did. Then, my body started to shake in a way, making circles with my head. I was on my knees in a meditation position. I had never experienced anything like this before, but it reminded me of the time I was pushed by energy in a Christian session.

I tried to recreate the image with ai it it looks like this, but the eyes were flaming eyes like Alex grey artist

I have a feeling that part of the reason psychedelics are illegal is that people and lawmakers might make policy decisions partly based on how comfortable they are with seeing strangers being in more intimate/vulnerable states. I think this depends on how comfortable they are with being in the states they see others in as well.

When I would be around people who were on psychedelics I would be kind of a whacko and a little scared of what they might do. Now that I've done them, I pretty much don't care. I accept others expressing more strange/difficult emotions based on how comfortable I am with those emotions in myself.

IMO, the reason psychedelics are illegal is because lawmakers need to feel some deeper shit and have it met with real love and acceptance. They probably just really wanted to play with dolls as a kid and weren't allowed to lmao. I think legalization will take time. You can't force people to be vulnerable. It happens slowly like it would in any human relationship. The more people get healed, the more people can get healed.

A lot of this seems pretty obvious, but I wanted to write it down. I think we perceive our national society/culture in the same exact way we do individual human relationships. Unfortunately some of us with attachment trauma really need to have psychedelics legalized (meaning a safer and more accepting relationship with society) to work through the stuff we aren't comfortable working through with a person. I think we might need society's laws to be structured like the rules within a healthy relationship or something. I think the law/culture is an attachment figure, and we need it to be a healthy one, not a toxic one.

Or something like that.

TLDR: I think psychedelics are illegal because many lawmakers are deeply afraid of being vulnerable.

I believe that with the advent of acid, we discovered a new way to think, and it has to do with piecing together new thoughts in your mind. Why is it that people think it's so evil ? What is it about it that scares people so deeply, even the guy that invented it, what is it ? Because they're afraid that there's more to reality than they have confronted. That there are doors that they're afraid to go in, and they don't want us to go in there either, because if we go in we might learn something that they don't know. And that makes us a little out of their control.

Have you ever dreamed of a world where the veil lifts not just for the seekers, but for the entire species at once? Where, for a single synchronized moment, we all step through the threshold together? A planetary psychedelic dawn, not just for fun, not just for escape, but as an initiation.

I can’t be the only one who sees it, this strange moment in history where the shamans finally have enough for the whole tribe. Where the gates are open, legally in some places, spiritually everywhere.

What happens when the game is won, when we stop teasing each other with half-truths and remember, truly remember, who we are?

Have you met others dreaming this dream?

Would you take the trip, if the whole world came with you?

My goal in microdosing is too improve mental health, clarity and hopefully get myself to get more shit done. Do these two substances have different benefits when micro-dosing?

Also what are some good ways to do it? Ive heard of people say to do it 3 days on 2 days off what is the best way to do it?

I'm wanting to find more private/secure forms of communication and community. Where can I start?

Thanks!

Hi there! First time poster. I cannot tell this community what it has meant to me to see so much love, compassion, and help as I have started my journey.

On to my topic!

One of my absolute favorite things to do on LSD (one experience to date) and 2CB (two experiences to date) is listen to music. I recently discovered (through this community) Max Cooper.

I have not fully consumed what he's made yet and feel like each album practically deserves its own 2CB journey to focus on. Emergence is the first I've fully digested.

With each track, I feel like an entire story unfolds in my mind. It's incredible. I also feel a kind of meta layer, sitting above the story unfolding where I can 'feel' the emotion that is being evoked.

I have a few questions for more experienced users.

First, is Max unique in his ability to evoke this level of depth? My sense, with limited experience is that where all music likely evokes emotion, most music is at a level of 'see spot run' where as Emergence is a great novel. I don't think this is a knock on other music in that I'm not sure it was written to perform at this level.

Second, are there are artists or albums that you would recommend that have a similar ability to bring out this layer when journeying.

Third, Are there any substances besides LSD and 2CB that people would recommend?

Thanks a ton!

This will be my first time doing any psyhedelics.

I live in a country where shrooms are mad expensive and hard to get. I bought 3 grams of McKennaii strain and I don't think I'll be able to buy more anytime soon.

I want to listen to music, reflect on what's going on with my life right now, try psilocybin psychotherapy on my own. But I also really want to experience intense visuals.

I think I'm a bit more prone to psychedelics than most people. When I smoke weed, regardless of the dose, I always have a lot of psychedelic effects - time warps a lot, my imagination gets better (smoking weed was the first time I actually saw an image I was imagining with my eyes closed), I get synesthesia. At the same time I have about zero euphoretic effects during that.

The only trip sitter I'll have is my cat, but I'll do it at night, when no one can bother me, in my own apartment.

Should I take 1.5 grams twice or should I take 3 grams, considering that I won't have the opportunity to try it again for a couple of months?

Cannabis is both ancient and modern, bridging the wisdom of the past with the awakening of today. Across cultures, from the Shamans of Siberia to the Sadhus of India, from the priests of the Temple of Solomon to the mystics of Sufi Islam, cannabis has been revered as a sacred entheogen, a divine conduit between humanity and the infinite.

A Universal Sacrament

Nearly every spiritual tradition has, at some point, embraced cannabis:

• Hinduism & Tantra – The sacred Bhang of Shiva, a drink of divine wisdom.
• Judaism & Early Christianity – The anointing oils of the Hebrews, infused with cannabis.
• Islamic Sufism – Hashish as a tool for divine intoxication and mystical poetry.
• Ancient Zoroastrianism – Haoma, a plant of enlightenment, linked to cannabis.
• Shamanism & Indigenous Rituals – The smoke of knowledge, used in healing and vision quests.

This ubiquitous presence in religious and mystical traditions shows that cannabis is neither bound by time nor dogma—it is a universal key to expanded consciousness.

Cannabis as a Spiritual Tool

Scholars, mystics, and modern researchers like Chris Bennett, Stephen Gray, and Ryan Sprague agree: Cannabis is not just a plant, but a spiritual ally.

• It enhances meditation, prayer, and contemplation.
• It induces visions, deepens intuition, and expands perception.
• It aids in emotional healing, self-discovery, and transcendence of the ego.

Like Aldous Huxley’s mescaline, Terence McKenna’s psilocybin, or the shaman’s ayahuasca, cannabis is an entheogen—a tool for touching the divine. But unlike many other sacred plants, it is also gentle, accessible, and integrative, making it a perfect bridge between the mystical and the everyday.

The Sacred Plant for a New Age

In a world where ancient wisdom meets modern understanding, cannabis is re-emerging not as a drug, but as a sacrament—one that harmonizes with all spiritual traditions and serves as a universal teacher.

It is time to reclaim what was lost and recognize what has always been true: Cannabis is a sacred gift, a guide to wisdom, and a light in the darkness .

This was the central message of my last trip, but I'm not sure how to unpack it.

I am going to dose some mushrooms later but my rituals would be enjoy nature or do an outdoor activity,(rollerblading at the park today) check in with my close friends and family tell them i love them. My number one ritual is clean my home top to bottom during the come up and light a candle at the end! ✌🏾

Has anyone tried this combination yet? I'm curious about the experience, I plan to do the test on Wednesday, are there any risks in this mixture?

I knew it was starting when I got this weird feeling in my stomach. My brother gave me 2 grams of this dry moldy magic mushroom. I had tried to swallow them whole like a pill but that didn't work out. I threw up about .5 of a gram so ended up tlbrewing 1.5g into a tea.

I was playing it cool cause my wife was laying next to me. She was aware what I was doing and was my my safe space during the trip but it was immediately a bad experience. I felt awful, we were trying to watch a movie but I felt like the shrooms wanted my full attention.

I asked to borrow her sleep eye cover. The images I saw were not clear almost like static from a TV but what I could see at first was these demons with morphing faces. It was pitch black no colors or anything. I was just staying calm and was riding that out. After awhile I started to see colors swirling and I was seeing something like these big greenish looking pillars with faces on them. I was moving through this lair of these face pillars then I started to see a lot of vibrant colors. Again like watching through a staticy television. Moving around these colors were eyeballs.

All the while this terrible feeling was not going away.

All the bad feeling felt like they were radiating from my stomach I. I had all this classical music and calm ethereal music on a playlist but nothing was working.

I was chrismated into the Greek Orthodox Christian Church a few years ago and had a playlist of liturgical music. That made everything so much better. Immediately the bad feeling went away. And I was surrounded by these beautiful choirs I was listening to and I felt the love everyone talks about when they have these types of experiences.

I had this insight that all of the music I listen to all the podcasts I listen to, and the movies I watch they all want something from me. They want me to feel happy or sad or angry etc. and what God wants is for me to be free. Who I really am is to be found when I don't just give my attention away to all these other things that want to take my attention and focus away from the things that really matter.

After that the trip pretty much ended and I felt strong and focused like I've never have before. I felt amazing for about a week and now I'm feeling old bad habits creeping back up.

Overall I would say it wasn't a fun experience but maybe I'll try it again towards the middle of the year before the holiday chaos happens.

Hello, I need your help to understand what went wrong. I grow Psilocybe Galindoi (ATL#7) sclerotia, and yesterday, I ate a homemade mixture of honey and dehydrated sclerotia powder. I barely felt any tingling in my stomach, and that was it. No real effect.

Here are some details:

• The truffles I used had been stored in jars for at least 3 months.
• I dried them using a dehydrator at 70°C (158°F) for 10 hours.
• I then prepared a mixture containing 70% honey, 30% sclerotia powder, with a small amount of powdered yuzu peel.
• The truffles were ground into an extremely fine powder (flour-like) using a coffee grinder.
• The mixture was very homogeneous, with a paste-like consistency, and I stored it in a sealed jar for 2 months.
• Last night, I ate 20g of this mixture, meaning I consumed 6g of dried truffles (equivalent to 20g of fresh truffles, which should be a strong dose).
• I had eaten a small pizza 2 hours before.

Now I’m wondering:

• Is it possible that I was just unlucky and grew truffles with almost no psilocybin?
• Is 158°F too hot for dehydration?
• Can grinding them too finely damage the active molecules?
• Could the honey encapsulate the powder too much and block the effects?
• Or is it simply the pizza’s fault?

Thanks for your help! I guess I’ll have to test my truffles without honey next time to see if that’s the issue.

Have you ever felt an uncanny sense of familiarity—like you’ve been somewhere before, even when you haven’t? Maybe during a psychedelic experience, a special place, or an unforgettable moment?

Your insights could help us uncover new dimensions of memory, déjà vu, and perception. If you’ve had an experience like this, we’d love to hear from you.

My husband and I enjoy the the therapeutic and healing effects of psilocybin and are looking for someone who offers a ceremony/guided experience in Georgia. We're not super spiritual but are open minded and accepting of new ideas. Would love some local recommendations!

I understand that there is no perfect way to do things. But having recently done a relatively low dose (was probably 1-1.5 grams of blue meanies, I don't have a scale that gives decimal) I realized that I should cut out my unhealthy habits that don't help me mentally. By this I do mean binge eating addiction, never exercising, not going outside to get fresh air enough. I think I'm going to take another dose of a 1.5 grams in a few days because this helped me mentally when I did it. I guess what I'm asking is how I should continue on with my life to FEEL healthier other than microdosing/ doing regular doses. Thanks

I’ve only had 4 trips and I have only used acid once and 3 on mushrooms I bought a shroom chocolate bar to make come up nausea easier but found out it’s 4 aco dmt is there anything I should expect stronger or less stronger than shrooms longer trip diffrent feeling ect thank you

So I’m 15 and have been doing shrooms and acid for about a year. I’ve had a total of 22 trips, 7 with acid and 15 with shrooms and have gotten nothing but benefits from it. I made myself lose 30 pounds, I stopped hating myself, I finally convinced myself to learn how to make beats and stop procrastinating on it, and I think I’ve just become a more happy person overall. I’ve never had a bad trip and have always been prepared for my trips (except my first acid trip that was fucking boring). I feel like I’ve dove deeper into my brain and have truly discovered myself. I definitely don’t plan on quitting anytime soon and have made it a life goal to not go past Molly in terms of doing drugs, that’s that hardest substance I’m willing to take. But seriously, how bad are psychs really on the teenage brain? I’ve seen hella people say it’s bad but when it comes to personal accounts most people that took psychs during their teens seem to be fine. I really think it comes down to your state of mind, and genetics because I really feel like my psychedelic use have been beneficial to my life overall, and I don’t think I’d be in as good of a spot without it. I’m not going to abuse theme Imma trip once every 2 weeks at the most and be very respectful and mindful of the substance, because my god are psychedelics awesome. I’m so glad I jumped the gun and just did them, one of the best choices of my life. But seriously tho, and I really fucked? I know not every teen can handle psychedelics well, but I gotta say I think I can. I think I I just might be ok.

I'm having this experience where psychedelic's are becoming weaker as time goes on. I used to think it was the product not being as potent but the deeper I dived into this idea, the more I realized it was actually because of me. I'm the one changing, not the product. As I become more cleared out of all my preconceived notions and conditionings, I actually am becoming more one with the psychedelic plane of existence or whatever you wish to call it. I'm using the product as a tool to learn and to grow, not just to party or have a good time, although I do still have one hell of a good time while by doing this. I also do a lot of inner work while sober. But being sober and being on psychs are becoming one in the same state of mind for me. It's felt less like a high and more like just me with an even clearer mind. The more gunk I clear out of mind on the daily, the cleaner the psychs feel. It's very interesting, to say the least. I've learned more from one trip than I have in all my therapy sessions combined. I think I might have gotten to this same place regardless, but I'm truly thankful I've gotten here faster and with a true understanding of what it means to love and accept myself on a deeper level. Understanding what you should be experiencing versus actually experiencing something are two very different things. They saved my life, to put it simply. I wish everyone could feel what it's like to be free from the shackles of your mind. I'll end with my one of my favorite quotes: "You are only confined by the walls you build yourself. "
