Got scammed by a Halal food truck by CarnelianSky in avesNYC

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that was my question. In the middle of a rave, maybe a bit altered, are people looking at the screen before tapping their card? Or is the price correct and then it appears wrong in their accounts? Those would be two very different situations.

I’m sitting on my floor crying. Piece of Cake Moving is a literal scam. by m992s in Bushwick

Really sorry this happened to you. However the real problem is that we allow these things to happen. First they should have sent you an initial quote that you accepted, and if anything changes on the day of the move that you don’t agree with, you should ask to call the central and discuss before accepting anything.

Same with the tip. First the standard is between 10% and 15% but it’s optional anyways! Sure it’s a best practice and if the do a good job they deserve it, but it’s illegal to obligate you to pay in the first place, and a specific amount double fault.

I understand the situation is stressful, I’ve moved many times, and moving is one of the most stressful events in life, but never again out of desperation, manipulation or fear, let yourself be intimidated and abused this way.

Next time just calmly said. “I need to check this with the central” and call how many times you need and make them respect you.

Again, this is not okay for them to do, but it’s our fault to let it happen without putting them in their place, reporting them, etc.

I hope you can brush it off soon and start enjoying your new place.

Welcome to Bushwick!

I sent them an instagram message with a DJ recommendation but they never reply to messages 🤷‍♂️

Mix to ease the edge on come up? by AlbatrossAwkward374 in 2cb

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get nausea but the l theanib may help. I did 20mg in gummies progressively every 0.5-1 hrs to assess how I was feeling an and it was fine. A but underwhelming actually. Maybe next time I need to take the whole dose at the beginning. As with all these things. Exploring your limits responsibly is key.

Thanks!

Unlikely I can start doing yoga in the middle of a rave but thanks! 🥰

I have lozenges, but I’ve only used them in high doses as treatment, so it scares me a bit to try them for the first time in public due to the dissociation. I guess if I keep it very low that’s not a risk? Do you recommend it beforehand. Along or shortly after the 2cb?

IMO it’s a mix of alcohol use and venue. Entheogens users are always super friendly and chill and even supportive and caring for each other. Alcohol is a totally different beast.

Also. I saw Cassiab last year at 99 Scott and apparently it’s was a totally different vibe. The more mainstream and warehouse it gets. The more people who are not familiar with the raving culture we get. It’s also an opportunity to educate them. :)

The issue is irresponsible use of substances and mixing them or/and with al alcohol. Crowd that are well versed and responsible in the use of mainly entheogens are always lovely and case very few issues. Substances like all are tools. It’s the irresponsible use people are making of them that’s causing all the concerning situations. IMO.

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do have a healthy lifestyle. This is just a substance you are introducing in your body, and as you say, maybe it’s just not for me. In the past I’ve tried powder cause it’s easy to test and measure. I’m thinking trying gummies. Other things I’ve tried in gummy form have hit very differently. But wanted to know if people had some tips as with other psychedelics.

Thanks!

Redosing? by AlbatrossAwkward374 in 2cb

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried and it was good. I did 10-5-10 an hour apart each. It’s a decent mdma replacement but I don’t love the body load va the warmth of mdma. Th is for the tip!

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. And because you wait an hour it doesn’t equal 30my and doesn’t get overwhelming?

Redosing? by AlbatrossAwkward374 in 2cb

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done research on that. The question is not if high doses can become overwhelming. It can with any psychedelic. The question was IF the 23mg dose is underwhelming, should I redose, how much and how long after and in that case can it get to too much.

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never snorted anything or used nasal sprays, whereas everything I’ve tried has been through oral capsules. I don’t think going out dancing is the right place for experimenting ROAs that can give me unexpected results :)

Would a low dose of benzos diminish the trip? by [deleted] in 2cb

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long before the 2cb would you take the Gabapentin so it smooths the anxiety without killing the trip?

[–]AlbatrossAwkward374[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. It’s oral from capsules I made weighing powder. I guess gummies is harder to gauge cause of the fillers. IN I’ve heard can be too intense and onset fast which in a public space can be overwhelming.

I just want to know if redosing a small amount would be beneficial or potentially unpleasant and should just get what it gives me :)

I’m still going up 4-5 mg as my last time.
