If there were a New Earth, what would it look like and what things would you want based on your experience here on šŸŒ

1 Upvotes

Iā€™m currently tripping on 3 tabs right now. Iā€™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 hasnā€™t been all sunshine and rainbows. Iā€™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. Thereā€™s heavy ass bass music. Equality, progress, peace and kindness between all. Unconditional love.. you can still experience pain it just doesnā€™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?

A walk to remember to the psychedelic realm

2 Upvotes

Today, I want to write about my transformative walk in the Parvati Valley. The journey was more than just a hike; it was an experience that profoundly changed my perspective on life.

The valley, nestled in the Himalayas, greeted us with its serene beauty and an air of mysticism. My girlfriend and I embarked on a small trek from Katgala to Kasol. Under the influence of LSD, the world around us seemed to shift and evolve with every step we took. It felt as though we were on a surreal mission to buy glasses that, in the moment, seemed like precious gems capable of saving the world.

Every walk with her felt like stepping into an alternate reality, yet everything appeared to align in perfect harmony. The path to Kasol unfolded like a journey through the universe itself. The sky above kept changing, morphing into vivid and kaleidoscopic hues. The sounds of the forest rustling leaves, distant animal calls blended with the twinkling stars above, creating an immersive symphony. The vibrant colors and textures around us pulsated with life.

Time seemed to stretch and compress, and we found ourselves lost in the beauty of each fleeting moment. After an hour of walking through the hills, we finally arrived at the Kasol Market. It felt as though we had entered a completely different dimension. The market buzzed with chaotic energy a mix of sights, sounds, and emotions. I couldnā€™t tell if the energy was positive or unsettling, but it didnā€™t quite feel right. We moved quickly, buying two pairs of glasses that seemed to possess a strange, symbolic significance.

As soon as we wore them, it felt like we had entered another layer of reality a version of the world that was both thrilling and uncanny, like stepping into the matrix. With our mission complete, we began the trek back to our hotel.

The night had fallen by then, and the forest paths were shrouded in darkness. We decided to book a taxi to take us to the nearest trek starting point. The ride turned out to be another unforgettable part of our journey. The driver was playing an old Hindi song, which didnā€™t quite match our vibe, so we requested to play some of our own music.

As the melodies filled the car, we noticed the driver beginning to enjoy the tunes as well. There was something magical about that shared moment the connection between strangers through music.

It was one of the most unique and uplifting cab rides Iā€™ve ever experienced. The driver dropped us off near the Shiva temple, where we started our final walk back to the hotel. The air was cool and crisp, and the templeā€™s presence added a mystical touch to the night.

As we walked, a deep sense of accomplishment settled over us. It was as if we had completed a monumental task something far greater than just a trek to Kasol and back. Suddenly, everything made sense the journey, the mission, the interconnectedness of it all. That night in the Parvati Valley was far more than an adventure; it was a vivid and transformative exploration of reality, connection, and self-discovery.

Itā€™s an experience that continues to inspire me, reminding me of the beauty, mystery, and boundless potential of life.

Have psychedelics helps with your ocd?

3 Upvotes

As I am able to see things abit more from an a birds eye view I notice that I dedicate an awful lot of time playing and trying to dissect stories or early life issues over, and over and over again. Itā€™s a part time, sometimes a full time job. I realize that part of the task is to refine the story so it becomes more accurate but I also think itā€™s a bit of a clinical issue that this is so hyper focused on.

Has anything helped to decrease the volume inner story? Life is always going to be there and maybe itā€™s taken this long to be willing to actually pay attention as opposed to complaining and being addicted. I realize this pattern is totally unsustainable long term.

How do yā€™all handle disrespectful people?

23 Upvotes

I tend to feel like I need to defend myself from words or anything said to me in a way that is meant to antagonize me or offend me. I just wonder what am I trying to defend? The survival of my identity or idea self. When people are being disrespect I feel like throwing up because I donā€™t know what to do in this situation. I think because grew up accepting this kinda of treatment from people around me.

This kind of treatment is completely unnecessary and unacceptable and I donā€™t want it in my life. It makes me feel horrible about myself my chest fills with anxiety and Iā€™m forced to accept it. When I was younger I had no other option. But now I do. I donā€™t know what to do with this.

Can anyone help me understand my first trippy experience? Was this normal?

1 Upvotes

I am 33. My husband and I bought some Delta 8 gummies. Each is supposed to contain 25mg of natural hemp derived (non-synthetic) delta 8 thc. I have previously tried a similar dose from another brand - except they were made from synthetic delta 8 thc. I'm wondering if that is the difference or if it's simply the dose. So the first time I tried delta 8, I took half a 25mg gummy and felt nearly nothing. I felt like time sorta slowed down and like everything I felt was heightened, but all in all it was a very tame experience. So, since I have tried 12.5mg before, I decided to try 25mg this time. We both still followed the instructions, which said to take half, wait 45 minutes to assess how you feel before taking more. So I took half at 6:30 last night, then the other half at 7:20ish because I felt nothing at that point except for a bit of dry mouth. It was like as soon as I took the second half the first half kicked in, then it just built and built for an hour or two until I felt like I was outside of my body.

My husband and I had similar sensations at first - we were both extremely giggly and aware of how high we were, but then I started to get extremely anxious. We both felt like time was speeding up and slowing down. For me, it seemed like when we were talking to each other or touching one another, I felt more present, but then when I started thinking I got trapped in my head and 5 seconds suddenly felt like 5 hours. It was like my brain was going into deep inception into each tiny thought I had and like fully fleshing out every random thought that popped into my head. We were trying to watch a comedy show and I started feeling like I was stuck in a bunch of tiny timeloops. Like bits of dialogue seemed to be repeated over and over then I would become aware of the timeloop and it would move to the next scene.

After we finished the show, it was only like 8:30, but we felt like we'd been high for literal days. We both felt like we'd made conversations up or we didn't know how we got from point A to point B as we walked from the living room to the kitchen then to our bedroom. I apparently kept saying, "You're okay. You're okay." to myself out loud during this portion because I thought I was going insane. My husband has chronic back pain, which we had hoped cannabis might help, but unfortunately it just seemed to magnify the pain for him. Similarly, while we were eating dinner (before the comedy show) I felt like my mouth was burning from the sriracha on my meal. I can normally tolerate spice fine, but I literally felt like my lips were melting off my face. And I could feel the texture of my food way too much. Like... I was aware of every grain of rice in my mouth. I felt like I could have counted them.

Anyway, we decided to go to bed at like 8:45. It was an indica strain, so we thought maybe we just need to take advantage of that and let ourselves pass the hell out. But this was like as it was peaking, so I was just feeling like my mind was moving through time at hyperspeed and at the same time my body was moving at a snail's pace. We kept having giggle fits together, and honestly if it weren't for that I am afraid of the level of paranoia I was approaching. I was starting to think that everyone was going to off me and that if I let myself sleep I would stop breathing. He didn't have any paranoia, but he did experience similar time-jumpiness. So we tested resting by leaving the lights on in our bedroom (LOL). We closed our eyes and just let go so we could just kinda float. And that felt nice. Eventually I felt like I could feel a physical shift and I knew I was coming down the other side. At that point I was able to calm down. We turned the light off at like 10 and went to sleep, and holy shit I slept better than I have in YEARS. Today I feel like I'm moving through wet concrete, lol. And my memories from last night are just all smushed together and I am having a hard time remembering what was real and what wasn't.

So yeah... what the hell did I experience? Did I just take too much? Or is THC just not the psychedelic for me? If you experienced this with a batch of edibles would you try them again? I thought about trying half of one... maybe these are just stronger than the ones I tried before?

I appreciate any wisdom you can share with me.

My mushroom trip didnā€™t go as planned I canā€™t seem to hallucinate would like some insight.

1 Upvotes

My mushroom trip didnā€™t go as planned would like insight.

So for some reason I canā€™t seem to get the full mushroom psychedelic trip as others have detailed. With bright fractal colors, ego death, time distortion, new perspectives, etcā€¦

To set the stage I donā€™t really take other drugs that would interfere with the mushrooms or the experience. Iā€™ve taken mushrooms 3 other times in the past each time at a higher and higher dose since I figured I needed to take more.

Strain penis envy 1st trip - 2g 2nd - trip 3.5g 3rd - trip 3g dry and 3 gram Lemmon Tekk 4th and most recent trip 8.5g Lemmon Tekk

Now hereā€™s what I experience each time just slightly more intense given the dose.

-tingling or buzzing sensation in my body -got colder -yawn more -slight nausea -if I stare long enough at the wall the texture will slightly start to wiggle and breathe a little. -I tend to get this feeling of wanting to cuddle up lay down and close my eyes like I wanna go to sleep but definitely canā€™t -hard time walking definitely some kind of head high -randomly laugh -but never got sad or had any like introspective thoughts -No intense feelings

-SHARP electrical jolt between both ears borderline painful occurred 2-3 times at the hight of the trip.

-SHARP tooth nerve pain in my front left tooth. 2-3 times during the hight of the trip. (I wasnā€™t grinding or clenching my teeth I checked consistently I also have very good dental health)

-Headache/Migraine at the base of my head

-spent about 50-75% of the time with my eyes closed wrapped up in a blanket experiencing different body and head sensations but never going to a different place or anything that would suspend me from reality, I knew where I was the whole time just really high.

-next day canā€™t really recall thinking about or seeing anything impactful to change my perspective, perception on life or anything of the matter.

One explanation I found was this ā€œThis has to do with your awareness. Your brain is more capable to "auto correct" the perceived environment than the brain of others. Basically it can be compared to one person is able to stand on a moving surface like a shaky boat while the other person can't even stand up properly. One brain is more able to auto adjust to the movement of the wobbly boat and with psychedelics its kind of the sameā€

Is my mind just fighting to maintain a connection to reality and not allowing me to experience the full trip?

Any insight would be appreciated

Anyone here had a natural childbirth and a strong psychedelic trip?

1 Upvotes

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?

Describing my experience during a tea part with some friends

2 Upvotes

I think that during the time i spent there, that some of the things i witnessed were purely subjective and that some of the conversations i had with the others were ones only i will remember and i remember coming to alot of conclusions.

One moment i looked up and looked around at everyone and they were all staring at me in agreement. i said "wait a moment do you guys realise this?" and they all nodded in like we could all read each others minds and none of us needed to actually speak as we all knew the truth. i felt no sense of self, the feeling of being part of one existence for that moment.

When people would talk and i wouldn't participate, i'd just observe, i would sometimes utter a single word response summarizing the theme of their sentence or i would just make a hmm sound.

I felt euphoric, i felt something like a tube running down the back left of my head was pumping seratonin or something.

I was fully aware of my actions, but i felt free from the values i held controlling them then. I could act freely and do anything, but also thought about the consequence and the circumstances i was in, i would to rationalize and ground myself several times. Saying out loud that "i am ground myself "would help too and i sat back and i drew and it was truly a moment of enlightenment, just drawing and ignoring everyone and the world and creating something abstract without reference, i didn't need any validation and i could do art for my own enjoyment.

Need opinions

2 Upvotes

So tonight I am planning on taking some mushrooms and watching the second Dune movie with my parents. Iā€™m 32, so itā€™s not like Iā€™m afraid of my parents reaction, but it will be the first time that Iā€™ve tripped in front of them.

I am a huge dune fan so Iā€™m excited about seeing the movie but to be honest itā€™s been about 6 months since Iā€™ve tripped and Iā€™m a bit nervous. Iā€™m just kind of hoping for some opinions like do you think this is a good idea? My parents are old, my dad is nearly 80, but they are totally cool with me doing psychedelics. Iā€™ve just never been around them in that state and Iā€™m wondering if anyone has had similar experiences. Just want it to be a good night!

Weird trip

5 Upvotes

Last night I went out with my girlfriend and we took some psilocybin. Everything was good for the first few hours , we decided to go to a park nearby. We were talking conversations got deep and for some reason I had this weird feeling that something was gonna happened I was little paranoid but still remained in my car and I didnā€™t want to do anything dumb I just let it ride but the feeling in my body that something wrong was gonna happen and the feeling that she was gonna turn me in to the police for whatever reason kept hunting my head. She kept going in and out of the car because she was hot and then cold and she needed to pee it was like she wouldnā€™t talk to me and she kept going in and out. I was tripping pretty hard at this point but I tried to remain calm. Soon enough the police shows up and the reason they stopped me it was because the park had a certain curfew but I feel like there was attention drawn from her going in and out because itā€™s never happened to me in that park before. Long story short police officer asks for my ID , I give it to him (he was pretty nice about everything) and my GF starts asking the police officer to take her home and she gets out the car once again. I donā€™t know what happened after she got out the car. The officer let me go, I drove home ,on the way home I just felt abandoned because prior to tripping I mentioned that if anything happens to not get anybody involved because the effects will go away and everything will eventually settle is just riding it out. Just comunĆ­cate I said ā€¦. Weā€™ve know each other for some time already. I just feel very bad like betrayed , I feel like he made herself look like a victim in this whole thing. She sends me a message later that night and says I broke her heart I donā€™t know what to do. I think mushrooms really show your true self

Thank you for reading.

Iv been taking psychedelics since 18 , Iā€™m 28 now , ate shrooms plenty of times , Iv dropped a lot of acid back in my day , 2 years ago I had my very first bad trip on an eighth on penis envy mushrooms , suffered bad repercussions after the bad trip , cannabis wasnā€™t the same for me and every time I smoked I would feel derealization/depersonalization , disassociative and ptsd like symptoms , even when I was sober .

Lsd rainbow glimmer/effect on white surfaces

1 Upvotes

Hello, During my LSD experience, I noticed something fascinating: white surfaces (like smartphone screens or walls) seemed to shimmer with a subtle rainbow glow. This effect was very constant throughout the trip.

Hereā€™s my hypothesis: normally, white light is made up of all visible wavelengths combined, and we perceive it as unified white. To see its component colors, like in a rainbow, light usually needs to be refracted through something like a prism or water droplets.

But under LSD, it felt like my brain processed white light differentlyā€”almost as if it could "see" the individual wavelengths directly, without the need for physical refraction. White surfaces stayed white but had an added rainbow-like shimmer, as though the brain was breaking down the light into its components in real time.

I wonder if LSD alters the brainā€™s visual processing in a way that makes the normally unified wavelengths of white light more distinct.

Has anyone else noticed this effect or thought about how it works?

Does this make astrology more believable?

0 Upvotes

I always thought the soul descended from heaven, travelled through space and whatever constellation thatā€™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?

Is $600 for a 5-meo-dmt session reasonable?

0 Upvotes

A friend who goes to meditation retreats and has experimented with psychedelics. She recently met a couple at one of her meditation retreats that offer 5-meo. She recommends them and I am eager to try it. But $600 seems like a lot. But I donā€™t have anything to compare it too. It just seems like a lot. When I did Ketamine, it was $600 a session and that was in an office with a doctor. And while I trust her, sheā€™s a rather trusting person that isnā€™t overly careful with her money. I often assume that people who are interested in psychedelics are going to be more ethical and moral (not just trying to make money), but there are all kinds and my own personal history tends to make me less trusting.

So Iā€™d love to know from more experienced people whether $600 (US dollars) is within normal range. I donā€™t know how much synthetic 5-meo costs to obtain.

To some extent, I realize that itā€™s a matter of what itā€™s worth to each individual. And for a potentially life changing experience, a high price may be worth it.

Thanks in advance.

ETA: what is the going rate, if there is one? Also, I realize people need to make a living, I donā€™t expect people to just give it away. But since they portray themselves as wanting to help people become more aware, etc. and this is not their primary source of income.

Is it weird to ask? I feel weird asking since she thinks of them as friends and I donā€™t want to make her uncomfortable.

ETA2: I feel a little vulnerable because I am a bit desperate for healing. I just donā€™t want to feel taken advantage of. This isnā€™t just for personal experimentation. And I donā€™t have limitless funds. But Iā€™m looking for some hope.

ETA3: He and his wife are traveling and are staying at my friendā€™s house for 2 nights. She asked if they would do the 5-Meo for me. So it would be at her house. (I usually do my psychedelic journeys at her house. She is my dadā€™s ex-wife. So she is like a mother figure) They mentioned a little breathwork. Instructions on how to take it. They will be there to watch. And I donā€™t think they took any formal course. He knew a friend that introduced him to it and taught him how to do it for others. He said heā€™s administered it to about 60 people so far.

I have been in therapy for over 2 decades. Iā€™ve tried other therapies like Ketamine and ECT. Iā€™ve done LSD, psilocybin and mdma therapeutically. Iā€™m trying to get insurance to cover TMS. I am desperate for relief from my treatment resistant depression.

I am ultimately willing to pay for it because I am desperate and this opportunity is so convenient. But Iā€™m scared of ruining the experience if I have these internal doubts about the integrity of the people administering it. And being so depressed, I have doubts about my ability to think things out rationally. Perhaps I am letting my distrustful part talk me out of it. I donā€™t know. I am just stressing about it now. I am probably overthinking everything. And due to my depression and anxiety, it is not easy for me to just go to another country where itā€™s cheaper. It is hard enough just getting through each day. So thereā€™s a scarcity component. I donā€™t know when Iā€™ll have this kind of opportunity again.

I appreciate everyoneā€™s feedback.

Jopo seeds

2 Upvotes

A few questions and notes on a recent trip.

Iā€™ve acquired some jopo seeds and want to consume them in a sort of drink. The plan is to roast the seeds and then grind them, and finally use a coffee filter to make a brew. The problem is that I canā€™t find much information on dosing. I know that the seeds contain DMT, bufofenin, bufotenin, 5-MeO-DMT, and some other psychoactive substances, which is why Iā€™m interested in this to begin with.

For a bit more relevant information, I recently did my own psilohuasca brew that absolutely purged me of the worst of my mind through the most horrifying experience I believe Iā€™ll ever have. I canā€™t say Iā€™m ready for a night that that one again, and would sort of prefer a nice ā€œtourismā€ experience where I get an intense psychedelic journey where I can observe the world from that perspective or even to break through (which Iā€™ve never dome before), just not where I experience extreme levels of suffering before being completely relieved of it. Anyways, I still have Syrian rue leftover from that so would it make sense to use that MAOi in this case, since Iā€™d be consuming N,N-Dimethyltryptamine orally? How much should I use if so? Iā€™ve never done DMT before, just psilocybin/psilocin.

Also, has anyone else had a similar experience on aya/psilo/pharma-huasca? Could I make another aya-esque potion using these seeds? And what about cultivation of the seeds just as a gardening experience?

Thanks for reading and much love to all. Stay present.

Edit: Idk if this was the right sub to put this on.
