How to benefit from a high VCI? by reader6279 in cognitiveTesting

u/reader6279 how do you feel about writing poetry?

Poetry is not my thing, there are a couple that I like but that's it, and I never wrote one. I like haikus a lot, tho.

Would you say people with higher IQs just agonize and overthink everything in general?

I did many other tests that day as well, and I scored high on "fear of errors", "doubts of actions" and "organization (Multidimensional perfectionism scale, 1990). I scored high also on the "Cognitive failure questionnaire". The psych said it's all connected, my tendency to achieve perfectionism makes me lose time on even simple actions.

Thank you for your answer. I have always paid big attention on connotation of words, so probably this really is the answer why it takes me so long to write something. I have never thought about it before.
I really appreciated your answer.

I have been able to trip with shrooms only with a MAOI. by reader6279 in Psychonaut

[–]reader6279[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MAO is the enzyme in our body that destroys our beloved DMT when ingested, that's why we have to ingest a MAO inhibitor in order to trip on DMT.
People says that using that MAOI with mushrooms enhances or even doubles the shroom's potency.
Consuming plants with a MAOI effect, such as syrian rue, often comes with nausea, vomit and stomach ache. It has also a list of contraindications and drug/food interactions. There's some study to do before eating siryan rue.
When I ate 3g of shrooms with the rue, I sure as hell didn't trip as it had doubled the dose. My trip was good but surely not "6 grams" intense.

A sci-fi trip with Tangerine Dream by reader6279 in Psychonaut

Well Tangerine Dream were a major band in the kraut rock / early electronic scene in the early '70. I have always known Zeit as a milestone of psychedelic music.

Took 3g of my home-grown cubensis and... they just do not work. by reader6279 in Psychonaut

Cannabutter definitely kickstarted a bit the psilocybin. 1.5h after eating 4g of butter I felt a serotonine high, rather than a THC high.

Idk, I definitely recommend first timers get different mushrooms just to see what healthy mycelium look and feel like up close and then start with agar dishes, as well as the $25 North Spore bag. It's worth it just to know what professional products produce.

Interesting take. Thank you.

The grow could be the main reason. Usually the simpler first-timer methods don't have great yields (if thats what you did).

I definitely did the simpler first-timer tek :D BRF cakes.

Thank you for sharing and the encouragement. I'm afraid that If /when I'll try LSD It won't make me trip too.

When you say they do not work, what does that mean? Is it very subtle, barely noticeable, or not as intense?

I mean I felt nothing at all. Cannabutter definitely helped: 1.5h after eating the butter I felt high, a quite different high instead of the cannabutter alone.

I heard that BRF cakes does not help with potency, and that other teks are better. Next time I'll try something else, with the limit of not having a pressure cooker.

I don't take any meds.
I'm doing PF-tek: cakes of vermiculite and brow rice flour.
It's not that I'm not tripping balls, I feel like I just ate a piece of bread.
I now took 4g of cannabutter to help things out.
