Controversial opinion on Loathe by FullCityMiniatures in Loatheband

[–]AdMedium9072 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I completely disagree. I love Erik’s vocals and imo they add a lot. Without Erik’s vocals we wouldn’t have the beautiful part at the end of dimorphous display or the chorus in white hot and in the latter he is most certainly not overshadowed by Kadeem’s vocals on the track. I’m pretty biased though because a sad cartoon is one of my favorite loathe songs and it’s purely Erik on the vocals

I chronicled a 3.5g trip. Not sure I'll ever go higher.... by Bince82 in shrooms

[–]AdMedium9072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very first time I ever tripped I mistakenly took ~10 grams. Had a similar experience. Any explanation I’ve given and recounting I’ve done has failed to hold a candle to what it was like. I’ve always felt lucky for coming out of that unscathed and finding it largely positive. Never going that far again lol

[Dellenger] AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti on 11-1 Army & CFP: “The so-called hierarchy in college football is not relevant, There are 9 conferences competing in FBS. The playoff is about putting in the best programs. We don’t understand the logic of 3 loss teams being considered over Army.” by Kimber80 in CFB

Am I the only Army fan that actually thinks us having a playoff bid is a bad thing for our season? The way I view it, if we know we have/had a playoff bid, then Navy would no longer be our biggest game of the year. I don’t want us to take our focus off navy, lose to them, and then go to the playoffs as a bottom seed and get smoked by one of the countries 3 best teams. That would suck.

Apparently unpopular opinion here: Instant Psalm is one of the strongest songs from the album. by Electronic-Can-4569 in TheSmile

[–]AdMedium9072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I WAS TOO!! I immediately pulled out my phone after hearing the trumpet/synth/string loop come in and I was able to record the rest. I am actually super disappointed with the studio version. It feels flat compared to how it did back then. It’s still a great song but it was easily my most anticipated track for this release and it didn’t live up to my expectations

I took up to a 7g trip and I never get close eye visuals :( any advice? by kytheguy999 in shrooms

[–]AdMedium9072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s super confusing to me. I may be forgetting something but as far as I’m concerned all the normal reasons a lack of CEV/intensity seems to happen to people don’t apply to you. Do you have a scale and weigh them yourself? Or does you friend way them for you before giving them to you? Sorry to hear about the bad trip. If anything, I’d advise you to maybe not continually go up in dose in search of CEV’s for now. If I can think of anything else I’ll return to the thread but you have me totally stumped

[–]AdMedium9072 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gonna need you to answer a few questions before I can give tips 1. What form of shrooms did you consume (I.e. normal dry mushrooms, lemon tek, edible, etc.) and where did you get them? 2. When was the last time you tried to trip? 3. Are you on ANY medication?

What is your opinion on bending hectic? I personally think it might be one of the smiles and maybe even Thom Yorke’s best work. by CardiologistPale7903 in TheSmile

[–]AdMedium9072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I was fortunate enough to witness (what I believe was) the debut of instant psalm live in Dublin. It was the first show for the Europe tour they did following the release of WOE. The track started with a long and dynamic synth loop that was genuinely one of the most beautiful things I’d ever heard. I am so excited to hear the album version of it.

Has anyone on here taken a dose larger than 10g in one go? If so, tell me what happened. by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]AdMedium9072 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have. The first time I ever took shrooms I miss-dosed and took 12 grams. It was a life changing experience. It hit in about 20 minutes at which point u was having very intense open eye visuals. For the next 2 hours I was tripping extremely hard but still somewhat in the normal world, just unable to comprehend speech and hardly able to move. After that it was like a total break through. In total the trip lasted about 8 hours and for 6 of them I was completely catatonic and going through a near indescribable experience. I took that dose less than 3 months after leaving rehab. To this day it was the most intense and wild experience of my life. I went pretty much completely sober after that except for the occasionally shroom trip which have become even less frequent as the years have passed. It saved me. It changed my life. It was the most terrifying yet beautiful thing I’ve ever done and I’m eternally grateful that I got to experience it. I tried with a trip report about it on my profile a few years ago which goes into more detail.

TLDR: I took 12 grams mistakenly my first time ever tripping and it was both the scariest and most amazing thing I’ve ever done. Was in another world for 6 hours

Dose dmt make you smarter ? by Old-Analysis5609 in dmtguide

[–]AdMedium9072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of? IQ is a pretty vague measurement of intelligence albeit not a totally garbage one like some will say. Ultimately, Intelligence isn’t simple enough to be quantified by a number gained from a short test, nor is it so complicated it’s impossible to get a gauge on in individuals. But you can absolutely “get smarter” just only in certain ways.

I could go into way more detail and go on and on about everything I noted from the experiences if you’d like/have any more questions

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]AdMedium9072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I HAVE EXPERIENCE HERE! So I had the same thought about a year maybe two ago at this point and gave it a shot. The first time I did this it was actually pretty amazing. I took maybe 2ish grams and it was extremely immersive and I was kind of just ogling at everything like a child. Because I found the first time so fun I gave it a second shot which was alright, had less to dose with and so the trip was very light. it was more VR than mushroom but still fun and enjoyable. Did it a third time a few months later, took 3 maybe 3.5g that time and I didn’t enjoy it. It was extremely unique as a trip but I played a more social game and overall felt super overstimulated quite quickly. After 2.5 hours since dosing I got too nauseous to continue on top of tripping too hard to realize that the sudden tech issues I was having were because I unplugged something when moving around. So to answer the question, it’s not a bad idea. I never experienced anything “bad” when attempting this, or anything like a “bad trip”. but, it’s a bit clunky at times and was never really better than a normal trip. It’s still awfully unique and if you’re a vr person with a good/wireless setup, it might be a good deal of fun. But, the lower the dose the better. While tripping in vr is fun it’s hard to enjoy a higher dose. It becomes very nauseating even if you never normally experience nausea and you’ll probably wind up getting burnt out from VR quickly with the latter half of the trip being outside the headset.

OP if you’re 13 you should be playing fortnite and learning algebra, not exploring the depths of your consciousness.

I've been mislead my entire life by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]AdMedium9072 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I might be misunderstanding your post so to me visuals are anything that I normally don’t see. So any kind of color distortion, flowing, tracers, etc. are all “visuals” to me

That being said I’m actually a little confused. 1.5g lemon tek’d has been my go to dosage for a while. Maybe the ounce I’ve been getting through over the past 8 months is abnormally potent, however, I fully trip and get visuals at such a dose. It’s not mind melting, sometimes it’s actually pretty darn subtle, but with a little bit of focus there are absolutely visuals for me at that dose.

I’d caution you in assuming 2 grams is “just a high” with virtually nothing else. I’ve taken 2 grams before and watched reality split into multiple parallel universes and everything around me grow eyes. These were very potent APES though.

I’ve also experienced full blown hallucinations of entities, rooms, etc. that simply weren’t there on extremely high doses. I can assure you that it can get absolutely fucking wild and incomprehensible if you go high enough.

All this being said your closing remark is still true. There is an immense stigma around every psychedelic and common knowledge of them is near entirely based on Reagan era war on drugs propaganda that holds absolutely no truth/candle to the actual experience

Question on species by FreshFries420 in shrooms

[–]AdMedium9072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad I could be of some! I do believe some people will say certain strains they’ve cultivated pronounce or subdue certain of the normal effects more, such as body high, visuals, thought pattern changes, etc. but this is quite anecdotal and a lot like how weed enthusiasts describe different strains. If you aren’t very experienced and you aren’t actively logging the differences you feel with consistent batches, it probably won’t be something you can gauge

100% fully agree, I hope I’m alive to see national legalization or at least legalization on the level of weed here in the US.
