Road Trip gummies: deducing the active ingredient

18 Upvotes

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.

focus on enlightenment

1 Upvotes

Before going to sleep at night, write an essay about dreaming about enlightenment. About finding the answer to all questions, and ultimate fulfillment in being. Dreams are probably unfiltered creative free association concerning what we were thinking about immediately before going to sleep.

When you wake up in the morning, write an essay in your dream journal about your interpretation of your dreams as keys to unlocking enlightenment.

When you have free time during the day, 5 minutes to an hour, meditate on obtaining enlightenment.

Keep this behavior up for one week to one month before a trip, and meditate on enlightenment during the trip. Since your mind is one-pointedly focused on the subject of enlightenment, the trip will

unlock the secrets of the universe.

Never stop thinking about enlightenment, and maybe you will obtain

unsurpassed ultimate and complete omniscient enlightenment.

Has anyone else had this type of savant syndrome(speaking forgein language)with psilocybin?

Does anyone have any experience with savant syndrome under the use of heroic dose of psylicibin? Audio recorded(forgein langue heard), AI translated(language spoken identified), translated into English, the exact thing spoken in English what was said in forgein language.

In record there is audio of forgein language being spoken, then something said in English.

With the help of AI to identify the forgein language, it was the same thing said in English.

Looking For Advice on DMX Afterglow

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

so as a newbie I took about 90mg DXM a few days ago and, strangely, even this "low" dose made me completely dissociated, detached, and leaving me almost unable to feel myself and to move or talk properly. It was quite an unpleasant experience with no positives and I had to wait out the time to feel better. However after some/many hours the uncomfortable faded and I was left with a great afterglow, feeling very clear-headed with a better-than-usual mood, calm, collected and yeah, just great....

This makes me wonder, is there any way to somehow circumvent the "actual" effects of DXM in order to get to that nice afterglow effect? I thought about just taking it at night and sleep over the actual effects....?! However I have no idea if this works....

Has anyone had a similar experience and can give me any advice on that?

Guidelines for successive trips

1 Upvotes

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 ☆~☆

Seeking advice as someone struggling to recover from a psychedelic breakthrough

1 Upvotes

So about a year and a half ago I was introduced and started experimenting with mushrooms, my friends and I would always go on trips together, and for the most part, they were great experiences and almost always took something away from each trip that benefited my life and/or way of thinking. It wasn’t until about 8 months ago that I took 3 grams of Dino egg and had a complete psychedelic breakthrough. Long story short of what I experienced on said trip: the come up hit me quick and I knew right from the start that this trip was going to be “different”, my friends on the come up were all going through it a bit and I remember feeling like there was general sense that something was “wrong”, something on a large scale that was out of my control, I then saw an entity appear and start examining me through my buddies ceiling, the entity faded away and almost instantly I felt amazing, like all negative emotions were stripped away. I then proceeded to lay on my friends mattress on his living room floor for the following hours while music played on his speaker and I was in an absolute trance, it was quite literally the best I have ever felt in my life. It felt like my entire mind was open to me like a library and I was communicating with this higher being in my mind and I could ask it anything I wanted to know about myself and it would have an answer. No actual words were said by this “being” but I knew exactly what it was saying, if that makes sense. Long story short, there were eyes everywhere and I was in an absolute trance.

And then the come down.

The come down was the exact opposite of the peak. Every negative emotion there was to feel, I felt, all at the same time. I had to leave my friends apartment and go into the common area cuz they were all pissing me off like crazy, even though I knew they weren’t doing anything wrong. As I left the room life began to feel not real and I had to put a lot of effort into grounding myself and not letting myself lose it. I called my friend who had introduced us to mushrooms and is very well educated on naturally occurring substances (mushrooms, weed, etc.) and just sat and told him about my trip and what I was going through. Anyways, once I came down, I felt very off and unsettled. For the next 3 days I would dissociate pretty bad throughout my day. Life didn’t feel real and I felt very disconnected from reality. After about a week I was okay and things went back to normal and as someone who had dealt with an anxiety disorder my whole life, my anxiety was actually the best it’s been for a long time up to that point in my life.

Then, I ended up moving out of my parents house and to a small town in the middle of nowhere with two other friends to sell cars at a ford dealership. Obviously working in sales can be a very stressful job and I was living on my own for the first time in my life, living in a small town I didn’t enjoy living in (I now live in Calgary). And I found my anxiety started to come back, actually quite worse than it’s every been, because this time, rather than just the normal symptoms and feelings you get with anxiety, I would dissociate pretty bad and get that same “life isn’t real” feeling. It got so bad to the point where I would be sitting on the edge of my bed vibrating like a tuning fork feeling like I was going to slip into the “void”. I was genuinely worried for a while that I was going clinically insane. I then decided to get back on my anxiety medication (escitalopram for those of you that are familiar) that I stopped taking about 2 years ago. It helped… a lot. Probably the best decision I’ve made for myself in a long time. So this brings us up until now. I recently moved to Calgary, and switching my prescription to a local pharmacy has been a pain in the ass and taking unnecessarily long, so I haven’t been able to take my medication for the last 4 days. And the old symptoms are starting to come back full force (life not feeling real, violent anxiety, slight paranoia, AND the most fun one to deal with, very disturbing intrusive thoughts) Now I know these issues won’t be a problem once I’m back on my medication, however, I do not want to be medicated for the rest of my life. And these last 4-6 months have shown me I clearly have some unresolved issues/trauma/dare I say mild PTSD from my breakthrough. So, for anyone that’s taking the time to read this (which if you have I am truly grateful and I appreciate it 🙏) I want to know if there’s anyone out there that can offer any advice as to how I can recover and get past these symptoms and feelings, or if this is just something that’s going to be with me for the rest of my life?

The infant mind

2 Upvotes

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?

I feel disconnected from reality.

9 Upvotes

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.

How can you tell someone does/did psychedelics or not upon first meeting them?

73 Upvotes

I ask because I met someone and one of the very first thing they asked me was if I do psychedelics. I asked how they knew, and they said that it was just a feeling/vibe. I don't come off as traditionally hippie or stereotypical, most others don't know that I trip, but when I meet others that do psychedelics they just sort of know

This got me thinking..I also get this vibe about certain people but I can't quite put my finger on it. Perhaps psychedelic use gives people a certain personality trait Maybe they're more open? Calm? More intentional? Idk. What makes you meet someone and make a (correct) educated guess that they do psychedelics or did them in the past? What's a dead giveaway?

How to tell if a substance is DMT or 5-Meo-DMT?

2 Upvotes

A few years ago, someone gave me a vial of yellowish powder. I can't remember if it was DMT or 5-meo-dmt. At the time, I had no interest in either. Now I want to do some exploring, only if it is DMT.

Here's a clue - he extracted it himself. He explained how he did it, but I don't remember. He may have extracted it from tree bark, or I could be mixing up memories. I live in Austin, if that helps.

froze my blue honey… is it still ok?

1 Upvotes

i’m bumming… I can’t find good information on this so hoping you guys can help me. About two months ago I made some blue honey (🍄‍🟫🪄🍯). I tested it last month and it still seemed to have good potency. I then had to travel for a couple of weeks, so I stored it safely in my garage, not trusting my roommate to stay out of my shit. however, it froze the last couple of weeks and when I got home tonight, I saw that the honey was pretty frozen. I could still stir it, but it was a tough consistency. I’ve read that freezing shrooms can damage the compounds. What likelihood do you think this blue honey will still be effective. I took 3 tablespoons to test it. Will report results. The last time I took 3 tablespoons I had a nice mellow ride.

Fever-induced delirium experience

5 Upvotes

I was running a high fever and sweating buckets while I slept. I awoke in the middle of the night and found myself in a weird stretch of psychic territory.

My mind was projecting that there were 3 guys—alternate versions of myself, in some capacity—trying to cook me and turn me into food so they could eat me. Right from the start, they told me their master plans and argued for hours over whose recipe I would become. Guy 1 wanted to turn me into stew, Guy 2 wanted to turn me into a sauce, but Guy 3 didn’t reveal his plans until later. Actually, Guy 3 was calm and compassionate toward me. It was the others who were arguing and mocking me.

So I warmed up to 3 and came to trust him. He said he’d help guide me through the experience and I’d be okay. Each time I was feeling dehydrated, he’d remind me to drink some water. It was very important to him that I stayed hydrated. 1 and 2 started complaining to 3 that he was ruining their recipes, and eventually gave up on trying to cook me.

It was then that Guy 3 revealed that he had been trying to turn me into soup the whole time. I felt so betrayed. Every time I’d drink water after that he’d mock me: “Yeah, haha why don’t you just keep drinking that hahaha!” What a fucking asshole.

Anyway, I spent time analyzing the experience afterward. I think the idea of cooking me came from the fact that my body temperature was so high, and the idea of liquidy foods came from how much I was sweating. And the soup, the most liquidy of all, was reinforced by me drinking more so that I could sweat more. Weird.

Metaphysical video recommendations for during and after psychedelics.

3 Upvotes

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.
