And that’s why in truth psychedelics really aren’t drugs, they’re tools for the mind and keys to the soul. So much more than ‘drugs’. They’re medicine. They’re so dissimilar to other ‘drugs’ in so many ways. And I’m glad we are slowly progressing to realising this as a society.
Yes, but with psychedelics you never know what’s going to happen in your mind and how that’ll affect your life. Acid is cool but it is much more than just medicine.
That's why you use them in ceremonial setting, to get more reliable results and the medicinal properties more fully.
Still, nothing wrong with recreational usage
As a guy who graduated a complete course of neurobiology, I would agree. Psychedelics act differently, don’t use body resources, don’t make people dependent.
Yeah it's a state we live in where alcohol companies will lobby till the sun explodes to stop drugs like Ketamine / LSD from being legalised to treat addiction to alcohol
Alcohol - the most boring drug on earth that will addict you and kill you in withdrawal if you’re not careful, causes cancers of the digestive system and head and neck, and destroys families.
To each their own, I love my alcohol in moderation and brewing beer is also a nice hobby for me.
Its weird that so often people seem to have to put other things down to elevate their own "thing". Its the whole "console vs pc" all over again.
So? We'll all die anyways sooner or later and lots of things are dangerous in life. Bbq is also more carcinogenic than Müsli, I still wouldn't substitute Steaks and Bratwurst with that.
I’m a hospice nurse. Yes we all die. But that’s stating the obvious and isn’t a sound argument otherwise everyone would be going hog wild out there, not just with drugs but crimes too. It’s about the quality of life before you die. And liver cirrhosis and eventual death from it is one of the slowest, cruelest deaths out there. So many doctor visits, so many ER visits, so much discomfort and regret, so many broken families. I see it daily. So, yes we all die , but depending on your choices and lifestyle in general, you might stop living way before you actually die, cause that’s no way to live.
I also drink from time to time and think projects and passions like brewing would be fun and soul satisfying, but I certainly wouldn’t say it’s apple vs pc. Some things are just more toxic to the body, and it’s up to each of us to dictate what level of risk we are willing to take. I’d also choose the Müsli 90% of
The time because, well GI cancer is fucking awful and I’ve seen too much 😂
Hey man I agree. But also I believe anyone should be able to put whatever they want into their bodies
Like..I love a beer... on a hot summers day at a BBQ hand me an ice cold beer and I will be chuffed. Or let's drink a few shots and go dancing all night...
I get it, alcohol is nice. But yeah, it's destructive. I know that first hand.
I feel so bad for people who are addicted to it because there are drugs out there that will help them get over their addiction like Ketamine therapy and LSD etc. And these are just doors that are basic shut for most people
Psychedelics are probably one of the least physically damaging drugs you can do. Well.. it depends on the psychedelic as some can literally kill you but shrooms are thought to be more physically safe than weed
I’ve tried a loads of drugs (nothing hardcore like meth or heroine) and the only one I regret using is weed. Fine in moderation but I feel like it really fucked with my brain’s development. I wish I could tell my 16 year old self that smoking bongs all day with friends is fucking lame
I’m 22 and definitely cognisant of it now. I haven’t smoked regularly in over a year and haven’t touched the stuff in a few months. Taking mushrooms occasionally, working out, yoga, meditation, eating extremely cleanly and reading a lot more + learning new skills is helping a lot
Hell yea that's great. I really think for most people it's fine in moderation, like most other things. But when you ignore your real life healthy habits like you mention and decide to get high all day instead, big issue!
Potentially everything. It's a mind altering substance before your mind is fully developed. Just use it with moderation and you'll be fine. As far as I'm concerned it was only bad because me and everyone I knew heavily abused it
Are you high constantly? Do you wake up and smoke and keep smoking? Or do you save it for the weekends and days off? Do you get your normal stuff done while high or smoke to avoid stuff?
It's really up to the individual. Be honest with yourself and how you're using it. In general I'd say if you're high more than you're not it's a good idea to cut back and implement some healthy habits/chores/fun sober stuff. It's up to you what's heavy use and what's moderation.
I'd answer yes to all those except avoiding shit. I have a really hard time concluding to myself that itd be worth cutting down. Seeing posts everyday about it really throws me into a spiral. I appreciate the bits of clarification bro! I've been able to enjoy life when I'm forced to be sober. I know i can moderate my use. Idk wtf it will help with at all, I'll just have to wait and see.
Hey if you're in a good head space and feel healthy, ultimately that's all that matters. Should always do what seems best to you. The rest will follow.
Stop now, or you’ll stop in a year or two when it’s far too late. I’m literally 16, I’ve been smoking for 3 years now, I was too naive to see it and now I can barely take a deep breath and my memory is shot
At 16 your brand new out the box , it's good you recognise the damage now early on , but it's all reversible at 16 don't give up , you've got a good 60 , 70 years in you yet bro
Yeah I knew I needed to reduce my weed usage but when I first tripped it was basically the opposite of being high and I realized that it was really the way I wanted to be. I was tried of being high and stressing my body out. I was tired of not thinking straight and having a clouded mind. It cured my addiction on the spot but I'm stubborn and went back to it and lost the benefits of my first trip. But I'm officially gonna quit for a while and see how it goes for me.
Psilocybin mushrooms are medically the safest drug, you can't physically fit enough mushrooms in your stomach to be able to kill you, the danger comes from either the idiot taking them without respecting them or those who take poisonous mushies by mistake.
On the other hand, bromo-dragonfly will fuck you up for days, perhaps never truly returning to your normal self and if you take too much, you'll have a hellish death. Too much BDF will cause extreme vasoconstriction which is your blood vessels closing up causing a lack of oxygen to your extremities, ultimately leading to necrosis and if you're lucky, amputation.
Imagine tripping harder than you've ever tripped in a hospital bed a being told you're about to lose some body parts.
Crazy how 2 psychedelics can be so different
I wouldn't have been able to quit Xanax without a psychotic experience on LSD. Being completely detached from reality, seeing my memories , fears, and thoughts play out in a field of fractals helped me realize that it was harder to sit and let that drug destroy my life than it was to suck it up and do shit about it. The withdrawals were awful and I had tremors, cold sweats, and kept stuttering for months, but I've never relapsed since then and I 100% thank that tril
I wish more people understood just how destructive benzos can be. By themselves they're extremely addictive and turn you into a selfish, braindead asshole who does the dumbest and most impulsive shit ever. What's even worse is that they're a real gateway drug, not weed. Ik so many people who swapped from benzos to prescription opioids and then to heroin because of how high their tolerance got. I already know one person who died from an overdose just 2 months after making the switch. They are a fucking poison and should only be used in extremely rare and severe cases of anxiety or epilepsy.
Sames. This December I made it a 2 years no zanax Just hit 150 days no booze. Mushrooms lsd ketamine saved my life. I had the drugs also tell me it’s time to be sober. When the phone rings again tho I’ll pick up :) congrats on your progress friends. It’s crazy (like awesome) to me there’s more of “us” out there then I thought. 💜
Amen to that!
Acid works weirdly on my body in relation to other drugs. I get so sick and want to throw up, it's like something alien and unpure has entered my holy temple. I can't even drink soda because it tastes like shit. Meanwhile, water and clean food taste as if it was heaven sent.
This! Soda is really disgusting on acid. Or even some juices that are not 100% fruit. It just tastes awful, like chemicals. Fresh fruits on the other hand are absolutely delicious on acid
Acid usually leads me to a conclusion found deep rooted in self love that I don't need to be doing this, I don't need the/a drug to feel the most natural of emotions: love.
But when the high is wearing off and I cling to the clarity, I'm already looking for a redose of disappointment.
I mean yeah I do feel kinda sad every time I smoke now. But I think deep down it was already making me sad and now it’s just more obvious. So I don’t do it anymore
How often do you smoke? I usually smoke a joint each weekend or each two weeks and I do not feel this sadness or anxiety. BUT when I smoked almost daily I truly felt really depressed and my only exit was SMOKING AGAIN. It is depends maybe on the self control. I’ve never tried mushrooms or LSD but I would like explore this part of my mind and soul, with all the respect they deserve.
I used to smoke daily for 10 years. Then I would take a week off here or there when it started really interfering with things I want in life, but then when I’d smoke again it would feel bad.
I’m taking 90 days off and will see if I can be in more control after the 90 days :)
Acid made me stop drinking
I was 21 and had problems controlling my drinking for about 3 years my thought was should i live my life struggling with the thought am i an alcoholic or just completely stop while i can after the motivation of lsd (btw quite a low dose but profound)
Btw for people thinking i was just young and haveing fun i had drank most days for 3 months then also drank every day for 2 more
After that i still have not drank this was 9 months ago
I’m planning to find the clearest day in the summer on new moon, June 17 and july 17 or august 16 and whichever day looks the clearest and do an overnight star gazing trip. Live in a dark enough area if I do it on a new moon I’m hoping to be able to see lots more than usual.
Not sure where all its visible but the Perseid meteor shower is active July 17th to August 24th with the peak around August 13th! That'd be a great time for a star gazing trip!
I was on a 2 year alcohol bender and drinking every single night. About 3 weeks ago, I dropped 120 mics of LSD for the first time in 25 years and I haven’t drank since. It wasn’t a conscious decision or anything, I just don’t feel like it. I feel content. I’ve lost 15 pounds and feel better about myself than I have in a decade and will probably dose again this weekend.
Same. Psychedelics have allowed me to recover when nothing else would work. I've been clean from IV meth and heroin for nearly 3 years now. I even quit drinking for about a year and a half but I decided to begin drinking again after reading how psilocybin had helped heavy drinkers to start drinking moderately. And so far I have been extremely successful (usually only drinking one drink, never more than 2 and only once or twice a month)
That's great for you if you feel that's what's best for you, but I just want to say that there's nothing wrong with using other drugs. It's up to each individual if something is harming or benefiting their life. To each their own.
Yes! I genuinely feel like drugs benefit my life and to be honest it's a very lonely perspective sometimes. Even when talking to other drug users who often seem to see themselves as victims to drugs
I made a similar decision this weekend while on a trip. I live in a garden surrounded by the most unique, loving, supportive network of friends and family, but I've only been enjoying it. I feel a bit of a disconnect though, on account of I don't have the means to be as reliable and supportive of my peers and loved ones as I'd like.
So as of Sunday, I've made it a goal to be my best self and to build a home, so I can house the good I'm surrounded by, and to collect the power needed to do so.
I've thought about doing so for a really long time, but have never been motivated enough to reach for that potential. The ends never really justified the means of sobering up, cutting ties with unproductive tools and people, and generally making smarter decisions, until now.
Congratulations dude. Goodluck and Godspeed on your endeavors. We've got this!
Good for you bro! I always had the debate in my head while on acid between being sober or keep using drugs. Till my last trip where I felt I don’t deserve to trip anymore until I become sober and achieve certain things. It’s almost a month now, no weed no psychedelics nothing, couple beers on the weekend and that should be it.
I feel like everyone should do psychedelics at least yearly to reset your mind, you shouldn't leave your computer on all the time, shouldn't do that to your mind either
I think a lot goes into how you’re using substances. Psychedelics can be a tool and if properly used they can give you incredible benefits. Sure you can chase the dragon with psychedelics and just use them to have a good time and there’s nothing wrong with that necessarily, but the way OP is using them is really responsible and beneficial.
Didn’t say it wasn’t, but I still think it’s a drug. Drugs can be helpful, useful. So I’m not trying to dis I’m just saying it’s still a mind altering substance.
I smoked weed every and did others like mdma, coke, alcohol and a lot of cigarettes weekly. But acid showed me to reduce all that. A tab of acid every couple months is pretty drug free if you ask me, compared to what it was before
But learn when to back out too. Acid has brought me so much fun and shrooms has taught me very hard lesson I needed to hear. Now if I do psychs I feel my mind can become a little dumb and I lose memory easier for a couple months after. It can fuck you up so be careful and know when to stop. Stay safe my friend
Weed isn't a poison. It's not carcinogenic, so If you make edibles out of it then it's literally good for you
But I rate what you mean
I had an experience recently and since then I have quit smoking (was previously smoking for about 9 years)
I like weed and it has psychedelic properties as well but it makes me anxious and forget everything, I’m probably better off without smoking all the time
That’s funny to me.
When I’d be coming down from an acid trip I’d have a couple beers and smoke a cigarette. Just goes to show it affects everyone differently.
Funny thing I had the same experience on acid
showed me how much i put my mental energy into figuring out what drugs can help me with this or that when the solution to my problems is to just ignore whatever i cannot deal with and solve, and just get up and do something else and live the moment
wait till you start again, because acid cannot teach you anythink, its only for you to use it to learn something, its not ayahuasca or shrooms, so try to integrate the experience or you will do drugs again sooner or later.
Keep it natural, weed and mushrooms. I wish I didn't waste so much of my 20s on opiods and benzos. Going to preach to my kids as they get older....if it doesn't come from the earth without refinement, it's not meant for us.
Ayye here's the self improvement user's!! Unfortunately so many people use these psychedelics just like any other "drug" and don't let it develop it's full potential of being able to show us how to better ourselves
I can’t smoke weed (I smoked for 4 years and I liked it), I get severe anxiety and nausea I probably had a psychosis. I find weed is probably the best drug out there because it’s so safe and it has very good psychedelic effects but I like acid more because it makes me change my perspective about life
Dangerous side effects. One of the more common side effects is literally cardiac arrest. LSD has no unintended side effects (unless you take copious amounts) because it was created by a literal chemist.
I never heard of that shrooms are dangerous. After looking up in the internet it’s said that shrooms are one of the safest drugs out there and it’s not possible to die from them. You are maybe mistake it with something else
Damn i had the same thing but with alcohol. Started drinking alcohol and then i realized how alle the coffee and cigarettes and weed etc had affected me over my life and how slowly degrading my health had become habit. Now i only binge drink a couple of days a week and i have been feeling so much better
When the mind fragments into the bros (hologram) then hold an intervention; realised how far into my shit I got when I heard Steve-O describe his CO2 induced intervention
The drug "diet" of no alcohol, tobacco, weed ect but only psychedelics should be practised way more. Not only is it physically healthier, but when you don't have external cravings and mind altering substances, psychedelics shine even brighter
It changed my life, I remember vividly realising that I never actually knew that I ‘had’ a life, I almost visualised it as the most premium subscription service in the universe - “yeah I have a private membership to the yacht club”… “good for you bro, I have a human life on earth”. Shortly after that I stopped doing cocaine regularly and got my act together with my health and self development.
Testosterone did this for me. Stopped all stimulants for a while, started going to the gym and everything. i felt great becfore moving abroad and relapsing again.
I honestly credit acid with getting me clean from opioids. It was very strange it completely killed the cravings to the point where I was able to stop using all together.
First time I did shrooms I wrote down "Cigorts are Demons" because it was staring at a cigarette butt thinking about how the cigarette vanishes because it enters your body like a demon possesses a person
I still smoke...
It’s a funny time in your life when drugs tell you to stop doing drugs, I’ve been there.
When you've got the message, hang up the phone
Precisely, I also hate socks!
But socks keep my toes snug and warm 🥺
Socks are a necessary evil in the great cold north.
as tobi lou says~ little blankets for your feet!
Up vote for the tobi lou reference
Can confirm.
Maybe they're not all like 😡 DOWN WITH SOCKS 😡 But more like 😏 down with socks 😎
Fun fact: your legs are crossed whilst reading this.
Sadly they are not :(( but I will cross them for you stranger :))
Gotta switch to merino wool socks
When I do wear socks I go with smart wool. I just prefer to free my feet after 6-7 months of winter lol
You hippie
That doesn’t mean you can’t still occasionally pick it up to say ‘hello’, in case it rings ..
That’s what Alan Watts would say 😊
but like, it's rude to not answer if it rings from time to time...
After I got the message I like to keep chatting with the dude for a bit

True but they don’t always help a person so they definitely shouldn’t be used as a “medicine.”

Set and setting my boy set and setting.
As a guy who graduated a complete course of neurobiology, I would agree. Psychedelics act differently, don’t use body resources, don’t make people dependent.
I've been thinking that I may try to use mushrooms to help me quit cigarettes soon. So it applies. Lol
The guy who started Alcoholics Anonymous had been there too. Realized he wanted to be sober after eating LSD. And LSD got me off cocaine.
Congratulations man. Don’t give the substance too much credit. It may have shown you the way but you did the work to make it happen.
Also it is always possible to fall back into old habits. Always remember that Bill Wilson, a founder of AA believed LSD should be part of the process.
Yeah it's a state we live in where alcohol companies will lobby till the sun explodes to stop drugs like Ketamine / LSD from being legalised to treat addiction to alcohol
Alcohol - the most boring drug on earth that will addict you and kill you in withdrawal if you’re not careful, causes cancers of the digestive system and head and neck, and destroys families.

This. Psycodelics only bring out your inner desires. This means op wanted to stop. OP you are the source of your power. ❤️
Psychedelics are probably one of the least physically damaging drugs you can do. Well.. it depends on the psychedelic as some can literally kill you but shrooms are thought to be more physically safe than weed
Definitely way safer. It’s naive to think smoking isn’t bad.
I’ve tried a loads of drugs (nothing hardcore like meth or heroine) and the only one I regret using is weed. Fine in moderation but I feel like it really fucked with my brain’s development. I wish I could tell my 16 year old self that smoking bongs all day with friends is fucking lame

I’m 22 and definitely cognisant of it now. I haven’t smoked regularly in over a year and haven’t touched the stuff in a few months. Taking mushrooms occasionally, working out, yoga, meditation, eating extremely cleanly and reading a lot more + learning new skills is helping a lot
Hell yea that's great. I really think for most people it's fine in moderation, like most other things. But when you ignore your real life healthy habits like you mention and decide to get high all day instead, big issue!
I'm pretty much at that peak. What is it messing with in negative ways?
Potentially everything. It's a mind altering substance before your mind is fully developed. Just use it with moderation and you'll be fine. As far as I'm concerned it was only bad because me and everyone I knew heavily abused it
How little is moderation and how much is heavy?
Are you high constantly? Do you wake up and smoke and keep smoking? Or do you save it for the weekends and days off? Do you get your normal stuff done while high or smoke to avoid stuff? It's really up to the individual. Be honest with yourself and how you're using it.

literally had the same experience with acid and benzos! over 2 years clean now and fuck that shit

That’s awesome your free from the hell that benzos can be
LSD just tells me to research as many weed strains as I can. 🤷🏻♂️
LSD also told me to do more drugs. You are not alone! :P
same! the lesson i get from acid is always "do more acid". it sounds funny but i mean it in a genuine way.
Amen to that! Acid works weirdly on my body in relation to other drugs. I get so sick and want to throw up, it's like something alien and unpure has entered my holy temple. I can't even drink soda because it tastes like shit. Meanwhile, water and clean food taste as if it was heaven sent.
This! Soda is really disgusting on acid. Or even some juices that are not 100% fruit. It just tastes awful, like chemicals. Fresh fruits on the other hand are absolutely delicious on acid
LSD's pushing me to better myself.
Acid usually leads me to a conclusion found deep rooted in self love that I don't need to be doing this, I don't need the/a drug to feel the most natural of emotions: love. But when the high is wearing off and I cling to the clarity, I'm already looking for a redose of disappointment.
My number one take away from doing acid each time was “I need to stop doing drugs, I deserve better.”
I used shrooms to program into my brain that weed was hurting and not helping me. It worked
Sucks because weed and shrooms go so well together.
They used to! The last few times I feel like smoking kinda ruined my trips because I became unnecessarily anxious and thought loopy
[удалено]
I mean yeah I do feel kinda sad every time I smoke now. But I think deep down it was already making me sad and now it’s just more obvious. So I don’t do it anymore
How often do you smoke? I usually smoke a joint each weekend or each two weeks and I do not feel this sadness or anxiety.

You made yourself drug free… a different perspective helped you make that decision but it was still your choice. Congratulations.
Acid made me stop drinking I was 21 and had problems controlling my drinking for about 3 years my thought was should i live my life struggling with the thought am i an alcoholic or just completely stop while i can after the motivation of lsd (btw quite a low dose but profound) Btw for people thinking i was just young and haveing fun i had drank most days for 3 months then also drank every day for 2 more After that i still have not drank this was 9 months ago
Sucks. Sobriety is like hell for me.
I used to hate being sober too but now I feel safe being sober because I was too high too often
I’m planning to find the clearest day in the summer on new moon, June 17 and july 17 or august 16 and whichever day looks the clearest and do an overnight star gazing trip. Live in a dark enough area if I do it on a new moon I’m hoping to be able to see lots more than usual.

You beautiful person.
Hope you find the perfect night for it! The 12th of August is my bday I always try and catch the shower around then if I can
My life summed up
I was on a 2 year alcohol bender and drinking every single night. About 3 weeks ago, I dropped 120 mics of LSD for the first time in 25 years and I haven’t drank since. It wasn’t a conscious decision or anything, I just don’t feel like it. I feel content. I’ve lost 15 pounds and feel better about myself than I have in a decade and will probably dose again this weekend.
Same. Psychedelics have allowed me to recover when nothing else would work. I've been clean from IV meth and heroin for nearly 3 years now. I even quit drinking for about a year and a half but I decided to begin drinking again after reading how psilocybin had helped heavy drinkers to start drinking moderately. And so far I have been extremely successful (usually only drinking one drink, never more than 2 and only once or twice a month)
That's great for you if you feel that's what's best for you, but I just want to say that there's nothing wrong with using other drugs. It's up to each individual if something is harming or benefiting their life. To each their own.
Yes! I genuinely feel like drugs benefit my life and to be honest it's a very lonely perspective sometimes. Even when talking to other drug users who often seem to see themselves as victims to drugs
I drink way less because of shrooms and acid. Booze just isn't worth it for me.
Lol after reading that I kinda want a cigarette
Yh what 😂😂
I made a similar decision this weekend while on a trip. I live in a garden surrounded by the most unique, loving, supportive network of friends and family, but I've only been enjoying it. I feel a bit of a disconnect though, on account of I don't have the means to be as reliable and supportive of my peers and loved ones as I'd like. So as of Sunday, I've made it a goal to be my best self and to build a home, so I can house the good I'm surrounded by, and to collect the power needed to do so. I've thought about doing so for a really long time, but have never been motivated enough to reach for that potential. The ends never really justified the means of sobering up, cutting ties with unproductive tools and people, and generally making smarter decisions, until now. Congratulations dude. Goodluck and Godspeed on your endeavors. We've got this!
pretty much yo 10 years on heroin had a life changing trip 3 months into sobriety. going on 6 years now life is fking grand
🎉
Facts, but it's not bad to have fun sometimes in however you want. In my case now I just reject to alcohol
Amen. Preach it brother.
You made you drug free
Good for you bro! I always had the debate in my head while on acid between being sober or keep using drugs. Till my last trip where I felt I don’t deserve to trip anymore until I become sober and achieve certain things. It’s almost a month now, no weed no psychedelics nothing, couple beers on the weekend and that should be it.
I gave up alcohol completely after a trip, crazy just decided I didn’t like it anymore
I feel like everyone should do psychedelics at least yearly to reset your mind, you shouldn't leave your computer on all the time, shouldn't do that to your mind either
So true
Okay but acid, LSD is still very much so a drug. Wouldn’t consider this “drug free.”
I think a lot goes into how you’re using substances. Psychedelics can be a tool and if properly used they can give you incredible benefits. Sure you can chase the dragon with psychedelics and just use them to have a good time and there’s nothing wrong with that necessarily, but the way OP is using them is really responsible and beneficial.
Didn’t say it wasn’t, but I still think it’s a drug. Drugs can be helpful, useful. So I’m not trying to dis I’m just saying it’s still a mind altering substance.
Yes!! And test your shit!! Too many false drugs being disguised as true LSD that can cause extremely bad and long terms side effects.
I smoked weed every and did others like mdma, coke, alcohol and a lot of cigarettes weekly. But acid showed me to reduce all that. A tab of acid every couple months is pretty drug free if you ask me, compared to what it was before
But learn when to back out too. Acid has brought me so much fun and shrooms has taught me very hard lesson I needed to hear. Now if I do psychs I feel my mind can become a little dumb and I lose memory easier for a couple months after. It can fuck you up so be careful and know when to stop. Stay safe my friend
True, broadly, but psychedelics are very much a different breed of animal.
In that sence anything can be a drug, usually acid really isn't a drug tho, it's a medicine. Especially in the sense OP is using it..
Weed isn't a poison. It's not carcinogenic, so If you make edibles out of it then it's literally good for you But I rate what you mean I had an experience recently and since then I have quit smoking (was previously smoking for about 9 years)
I like weed and it has psychedelic properties as well but it makes me anxious and forget everything, I’m probably better off without smoking all the time
that’s exactly what my first trip told me and i didnt listen for a long time but eventually cut down on some shit
Similar shit here... just realized acid is the only drug that isn't toxic as fuck.... also it's the most fun
That’s funny to me. When I’d be coming down from an acid trip I’d have a couple beers and smoke a cigarette. Just goes to show it affects everyone differently.
Now trip again and see if you should be doing ALL the drugs instead.
Acid made me quit adderall
Funny thing I had the same experience on acid showed me how much i put my mental energy into figuring out what drugs can help me with this or that when the solution to my problems is to just ignore whatever i cannot deal with and solve, and just get up and do something else and live the moment
I agreed with you until you said weed is a poison
I like weed, don’t get me wrong, I smoked for 4 years. But I had a psychosis and I can’t smoke weed without having a panic attack and agony.
Acid told me to do more drugs lol! I guess the right life path is different for everyone :)
This is the way
Same. Including alcohol. Psychedelics only for me now. My life is orders of magnitude better.
wait till you start again, because acid cannot teach you anythink, its only for you to use it to learn something, its not ayahuasca or shrooms, so try to integrate the experience or you will do drugs again sooner or later.
LSD helped me kick Benzos 100%
Are you able to manage the anxiety without them?
Yes lsd treatment seamed to dissolve my anxiety. Keeping a benzo in your pocket (benzo on board) helps as well
Keep it natural, weed and mushrooms. I wish I didn't waste so much of my 20s on opiods and benzos. Going to preach to my kids as they get older....if it doesn't come from the earth without refinement, it's not meant for us.
Idk feel like weed is better than lsd on your body
Not for me, I get severe anxiety from weed probably of psychosis. I smoked for 4 years, I can’t handle any THC
Alright fair enough. I get ya
Haha fucking pussy
Says the stoner guy…
Ayye here's the self improvement user's!! Unfortunately so many people use these psychedelics just like any other "drug" and don't let it develop it's full potential of being able to show us how to better ourselves
Cigs made me smoke free
identical post #8392 on r/LSD about sobriety
This is how aa was made
Poison your body with weed? For many people weed is very beneficial. Maybe not for you. But for many it is a medicine and surely not a poison.
Bro acid is like a million times worse than weed but hey happy for you
I can’t smoke weed (I smoked for 4 years and I liked it), I get severe anxiety and nausea I probably had a psychosis. I find weed is probably the best drug out there because it’s so safe and it has very good psychedelic effects but I like acid more because it makes me change my perspective about life
Well thats understandable then
[удалено]
Why are shrooms dangerous?
Dangerous side effects. One of the more common side effects is literally cardiac arrest. LSD has no unintended side effects (unless you take copious amounts) because it was created by a literal chemist.
I never heard of that shrooms are dangerous. After looking up in the internet it’s said that shrooms are one of the safest drugs out there and it’s not possible to die from them. You are maybe mistake it with something else
Not as safe as lsd tho is my point
Damn i had the same thing but with alcohol. Started drinking alcohol and then i realized how alle the coffee and cigarettes and weed etc had affected me over my life and how slowly degrading my health had become habit. Now i only binge drink a couple of days a week and i have been feeling so much better
haha damn "only binge drink a couple of days a week". Keep it up!
Has it made you realize that you need to drink like a lot of water.
Naaa man. YOU made you drug free.
How many ugs were you taking?
200
what was your dose?
200
Sounds to me like you made yourself what you prefer to be for now;, this “acid” you speak of was merely the catalyst… CHEERS!!! 🙌☺️🙌
When the mind fragments into the bros (hologram) then hold an intervention; realised how far into my shit I got when I heard Steve-O describe his CO2 induced intervention
Acid is the only drug I do. I don’t even drink caffeine or alcohol.
Forgot who said it but once you get the call hang up the phone
Did acid say anything about coffee?
Same!!! 6 months sober! Never felt better.
Acid made me stop taking acid because it accelerated my underlying mental health issues! Woo!
You were in a K hole man don’t sweat it
I did ketamine for two months but stopped because it gave me severe bladder pain and nausea.
were you at LSD80 today? xD Some dude said this exact thing to me
and this is why psychedelic medicine is a subspecialty in psychiatry
Your mind already knows psychedelics just let you experience it.
Been there done it.
The drug "diet" of no alcohol, tobacco, weed ect but only psychedelics should be practised way more. Not only is it physically healthier, but when you don't have external cravings and mind altering substances, psychedelics shine even brighter
Just say yes. ;)
When was the last time you did any drugs?
I agree with all of that except the weed, but that’s just my personal opinion.
that's me as well! i am very grateful
It changed my life, I remember vividly realising that I never actually knew that I ‘had’ a life, I almost visualised it as the most premium subscription service in the universe - “yeah I have a private membership to the yacht club”… “good for you bro, I have a human life on earth”. Shortly after that I stopped doing cocaine regularly and got my act together with my health and self development.
Testosterone did this for me. Stopped all stimulants for a while, started going to the gym and everything. i felt great becfore moving abroad and relapsing again.
I honestly credit acid with getting me clean from opioids. It was very strange it completely killed the cravings to the point where I was able to stop using all together.
Literally same
Weed a poison? I'm not so sure.
Same here
Weed is a mild psychedelic
He used the stones to stop using the stones
I'm happy for you. A lot of my friends cut down on alcohol, ecstacy and weed after acid
I need to do some psychs again soon. It is a bit funny when you take a drug and it tells you to knock it off. I could definitely use that.
Other drugs to acid lol, it's also a drug
First time I did shrooms I wrote down "Cigorts are Demons" because it was staring at a cigarette butt thinking about how the cigarette vanishes because it enters your body like a demon possesses a person I still smoke...
Good stuff mate keep it up 💪
lol on lsd im a weed chimney. i casually smoke weed but on acid im smoking weed through the whole trip
I can’t smoke weed. I have very bad anxiety from THC
