Just curious how you all are. For me its probably that Im pro abortion lmao

When I was younger, I learned to trigger and sustain my chills/goosebumps what I now understand as "Yin energy", partly because my favorite class was much colder than my other classes. Unknowingly, the temperature change along with other variables triggered my chills. I eventually taught myself to produce them without external triggers, because I enjoyed the sense of euphoria and relaxation it brought. After being able to hold chills for about 1 minute through practice, I began thinking to myself, "This feels like literal energy flowing through me." So, I taught myself to completely control the direction, flow, and intensity of my chills. After learning to move energy outside of my body and contain it, I developed a theory: I wondered if others could feel what I feel.

I started by generating a magnetic field with just the fingertips of my pointer fingers. Achieved by applying focus between my fingers and moving them together, it was easy to do, and the effect was very noticeable for me. I then applied the effect to my entire hands, and although it was harder to sustain, I began to notice it having a perceivable effect on people. About 1/4 of people could feel my energy in a way that was comparable to what I perceived and felt when generate Ki or manipulate it.

At the time, I was only generating chills, but as I practiced daily, I was able to control the strength of my chills more effectively. Eventually, about 2/3 of the people I tried it on felt a noticeable difference while I sustained the technique. While trying this, I intentionally avoided telling people that they might feel anything, to prevent placebo effects. If someone wasn’t instantly scared, confused, or excited by the experience, their main question would be: "What am I supposed to feel?" I still wouldn't tell them.

At that point, I would simply ask if they felt anything different. If they could feel something, they would immediately pull their hand away and compare the sensation of my energy to the environment. This ensured that whatever feeling they experienced came from my hands and not from any other source. They could literally perceive my chills, and by using more focus and energy, I could create different and greater effects.

It turned into a strange magic trick for me throughout middle school, and I was definitely regarded as the "weird kid" for doing it—whether people felt the energy or not lol. I've progressed much further from then. For there I've realized new sides and aspects to these energies I've never thought were there.

For anyone wanting to learn to use or control their Chills/Goosebumps/VGP and do this too Check out my Youtube, its Sensei's Library, I have a video there that will teach you the basics of what I've learned in the past 10 years of practice. There is aso a video explaining this technique at the bottom. At the bottom of this article will be a link to a study from the National Library of Medicine in regards to VGP/Chills. There is much more to this topic. Also I have another article on reddit for this technique if anyone would like to try themselves. You'll have some crazy results if you practice a little. Check out the links if interested.

Not at the same time. My wife and I are expecting our first child and planning to go the natural route. A lot of what I've read and heard has labor and birth sounding like it has many similarities to a trip, e.g. needing to let go, ride the wave etc. out of the thinking mind. I'll never be able to experience both in my life but if you have, what was your experience like? Are there any similarities?

Some say it makes them spiritual or makes them realize what’s important in life. It’s because shrooms causes top-down thinking starting from ultimate life goals. That includes reassessing what you want your life goals to be.

If the top of the tree doesn’t link to your current actions, that’s when you say wtf am I doing, time is finite, I gotta get myself together.

Notice that’s thinking from first principles. That’s more intelligent than not thinking that way.

What’s up w it?? Heard 30mg is like a 🍄 trip. And how do u use it? Capsules and/or smoke, u don’t have to sniff right?

I'm an addict. All drugs i've abused (alcohol, weed, coke, ketamine) has had way more downsides than upsides to my mental health. Suprise suprise

Recently I got a revilation on ketamine that I was an addict. Since then i've decided to cut out all addictive drugs (except caffeine). Which is literally all drugs that aren't psychedelics

So I know shrooms is never gonna be a problem in terms of being addictive. And I feel they are the only drug that actually benefit my life both short and longterm

I wanna try acid too. But i'm afraid it MAY be addictive, since it increase dopamin. Same with mdma, just a lot more worried. I know they aren't as addictive as fx alcohol and coke, but i'm not sure if it's a good idea. Especially mdma. It sounds to amazing to find a balance with

What are your thoughts and experinces? Experinces I would love to hear if you're an addict yourself. Otherwise I can't use it for much

I’m currently tripping on 3 tabs right now. I’m just happy in the moment and if we all died tomorrow I could say that I lived a fulfilling life and I did some fun, goofy, weird ass shit and had an amazing time doing it.

I also should also add that it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows. I’ve also had an enormous amount of grief, pain, and suffering.

Would I do it all again? Probably. Just not here. However, a New Earth where everything is enhanced, even trees are neon green and fluorescent. Psychedelic colors everywhere. There’s heavy ass bass music. Equality, progress, peace and kindness between all. Unconditional love.. you can still experience pain it just doesn’t affect us like it used to.

You can do molly without a come down, you can do acid and only trip for an hour, space cocaine aka ketamine is free.

This list could go on and on for me, but I wanna hear what you would want?

were you taught to not talk in school?

were you taught to not question in school?

is this why you dont talk with someone else and not question anything to have continue and enjoy a talk?

I always thought the soul descended from heaven, travelled through space and whatever constellation that’s present at the time to your body. And the reason zodiacs share common core personality traits is because of this process. Last night I found out that the human body shares the same atomic/elemental make up as a star which would somewhat support an astrological connection to the make up of humans right?

Alright, so I’ve tried these gummies a few times recently and enjoyed them. When I was younger I dabbled in RCs and tried 4-AcO-DMT quite a few times along with 4-HO-MiPT a couple of times. I lament not having bought a larger variety of cool tryptamine when they were readily available. But onto the mystery.

So, these road trip gummies definitely have an RC in them and it’s definitely a tryptamine, but it doesn’t feel like 4-Aco-DMT AKA psilacetin and it says it right on the bag that it is not that, nor psilocin, nor psilocybin. But it is definitely a tryptamine. Lab reports show negative for those three. It’s also worth noting that it feels different from 4-AcO-DMT and I had some chocolates with them a few months back.

Onto deducing the chemical.the website says they ship to 49 states excluding Louisiana. The tryptamines listed as being illegal there on their state law enforcement website lists these 11 tryptamines as being illegal:

5-methoxy-N.N-diallyl-tryptamine (5-MEO-DALT) 5-methoxy-N, N-disopropyltryptamine (5-MEO-DiPT) 5-methoxy-N.N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MEO-DMT) 5-methoxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (5-MEO-MIPT) 4-hydroxy-N,N-diisopropyltryptamine (4-HO-DIPT 4-hydroxy-N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (4-Hydroxy-MIPT) Dimethy|tryptamine (DMT) Diethyltryptamine (DET) Disopropyltryptamine (DiPT) Alpha-ethyltryptamine (AET) Alphamethyltryptamine (AMT)

It’s obviously not a 5 MeO or DMT, DiPT, DET, AE, or AMT. That leaves only two possible options, 4-HO-DiPT or 4-HO-MiPT. That latter is illegal in Florida, leaving 4-HO-MiPT AKA Miprocin as the likely candidate. Been so long since I’d last done it that I really had no comparison or memory. But it’s a good trip, I enjoy it.

Would love to see a lab report if someone were to independently test it. Otherwise, I think Miprocin is our gal.

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?

So apparently mind expanding videos to watch while on shrooms isn't shroomy enough for r/shrooms. I suspect that I may get better suggestions here anyway because I'm sure there are a good number of you who are expanding your experience in this universe in other ways than just substances.

I'm a bit of a metaphysics nerd and I enjoy experiencing insightful videos while I'm in an altered state. I've also been exploring my spirituality after a particularly intense K trip. I'm looking for your recommendations (let's keep it to YouTube for accessibility) for videos that particularly touched you during or in the afterglow of psychedelics.

You can throw some psychology and quantum physics at me too but what I'm particularly interested in is videos about spiritual, esoteric and occult teachings. The relationship between spirituality and psychedelics is a bonus.

I've searched for previous posts but they're mostly about music videos and generally trippy stuff, which isn't what I'm about.

TLDR: fuck around and find out.

I have had an absolutely insane few months.

Obviously I might be nuts, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the psychedelic journey for those who are interested.

For a long time, I have valued the pursuit of truth over all other things. I have made meditation a habit, and have used psychedelics regularly, sometimes taking breaks of up to 6 months in between.

A few months back, I started experiencing a very different place on some of my DMT breakthroughs than I'd ever experienced before, and realized it was what people are often speaking of when talking about "unity consciousness". It was the same state spoken of in the Tao Te Ching (which I hadn't read before experiencing it, but was shocked to find perfectly describing my experiences), by Jesus and other mystics, and by Ramana Maharshi (Be as You Are) and Advaita Vedanta. I'd never really understood these things before experiencing this state firsthand.

Coming down from these DMT experiences, there was a point at which I realized I could still "feel" that state in my day to day life - part of those trips became permanent, and that is when things started getting really weird.

Basically, I've always been able to comfort myself that what I have experienced during trips that really weirded me out could have all just been "in my head". It started getting very weird, though, when things started happening that were very hard to just explain away - because they very much violated the odds of mere coincidence - and these experiences started ramping up in frequency and intensity, even when I tried to take a step back and pause my meditations (I haven't taken psychedelics in a little while as well, maybe not for a few months - but the experiences have still been ramping up in intensity).

What's been even stranger is that I have met other people that have also experienced this - and it becomes so obvious when you're talking with someone that's experienced it, vs someone that hasn't - and they will tell me that the way I'm describing the state lines up exactly with how they would describe it. But this is a very unique state and perspective to live from - not the normal mushy gushy enlightenment people talk about like they have a clue.. honestly - it feels paradoxically very alien and strange, but also like "coming home".

Anyways, I'm not going to go into the detail of arguing about the synchronicities I've experienced. I probably wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced these things directly myself. But I've always been pretty rational about things - open-minded, but also very skeptical. And the crazy coincidences I've been experiencing that line up directly with themes I've been grappling with have dumbfounded me to the point of it being very hard to deny.

At the end of the day, the best model I have to explain these experiences is no longer materialism but, rather, the state I've experienced in ego death on psychedelics and during sober meditation that I had been running from for so long.

I think I'm mainly trying to provide a warning - you might think you want the answers, but shit gets fucking weird... And it seems to me there might be a point at which, after chasing the truth for so long, it starts chasing you - and there might not be any way to stop that process once it really picks up. Then, it's almost like life itself becomes a trip, but you can't comfort yourself knowing that you're going to come down at some point. No more "well thank fuck that's over" lol.

At the end of the day, I really could just be nuts. But the rabbit hole goes way deeper and gets way weirder than I could have even begun to imagine just a few years back..

To be short, i grew up in a modern day cult (jehovahs witnesses). i’m closing in on 30 but was 23 when i left. I’ve been agnostic since i got out. i’ve done DMT about 40+ times in the last year or so. I researched it enough to know of its presence in the human body and how to extract it from the correct plant. I had a heroic dose of mushrooms about 2-3 months ago although i didnt encounter the voice McKenna spoke of nor was it very enlightening to be completely honest. but what started my journey were some muscimol-based products from the local head shop late 2023. I’ve listened to days worth of McKenna talks, read books on philosophy, physics (both quantum & classical), consciousness and mystical experiences. i’ve reflected on upwards of 20 hours worth of psychedelic experiences brought on by different substances. I’ve explored the writings and talks of Alan Watts. All of this produced substantial changes in my world view. i abandoned my hard-nosed, reductionist views and became much more open-minded but convinced of nothing.

All of this has left me feeling disconnected from reality. From culture. From the people around me. From the version of me that once was, even. I feel as if it has emptied me out and left me dispassionate towards life in general. I have no desires, no true wants, no drive to accomplish anything of note, no goals. Few things, if any, these days bring me genuine joy anymore. I feel as if who i am has become nothing more than a character that i am obliged to play when people are around. Most of the time i’m simply overthinking or overanalyzing something in my life or in my duties.

From the outside you wouldn’t guess any of this. I’m healthy enough. I switched jobs recently. I got a girlfriend. I can usually hold a decent conversation despite the fact that i’m never interested in what’s being said. I fear that my ego has been reduced down to almost nothing and that there is no architecture left upon which to build it back. i don’t want to look people in the eyes anymore. i don’t want to connect with them. I’m not brave enough to speak up for what i need or want. i feel like my identity has been scattered to the winds and i’ve become so unconsciously distraught my its absence that i don’t really know how to properly interact with folks anymore. More often than not, i wish i could just disappear or run off to a monastery in Asia somewhere and spend the rest of my days there.

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?

I've done quite a lot of psychedelics in the last 3 years. But somehow something is holding me back now that there's so much shit happening in the world. Any one who relate to this feeling?

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 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

Have you ever 'reverted' to a child state of mind on psychedelics? I mean early childhood, ages 0 - 5.

I have experienced this a few times and I wonder if it is due to early childhood fragmentation of the self. Perhaps I am experiencing parts frozen in time which have not been able to integrate. Or maybe anyone, traumatised or not, could experience it?

Has happened on mushrooms and somehow on full-spectrum CBD oil.

It's really hard to explain. It feels like returning to some primordial space. Everything is taken at face value and full force, there are no preconceived notions or defenses. Everything is full of significance in this state. It also feels very eerie. I feel whole and at one with everything but also incredibly vulnerable, as if I could be destroyed so easily. There is no time and everything is saturated with archetypes and intuition. No rational brain yet. It's an incredibly mystical experience.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Can changing your set and setting (sitting up vs laying down or being outside vs being inside) with magic mushrooms change where you go when you blast off?

I do wanna add true blast off 5g+ alone in silent darkness

Super noob here- I've done it 7x over the last year but haven't ever tried going in a different way

It's been an hour after 4g lemon tek of Makilla Gorilla and so far it's just been some mild visuals and such.

I know sometimes it can take a while but usually after an hour in the trip is taking off, this time iys more of a plateau

Have y'all experienced a longer than expected come up on lemon tek before?

Will update later
