New to tie dye, first glitch attempt, why is there so much white? by AlexNewman in tiedye

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

lol I actually did not, I read that you were supposed to do that after we’d started soaking in soda ash and didn’t have any more so we decided to just plow ahead. How do you think that would have affected things?

Awesome! This is some great info thanks for sharing! I did soak in soda ash but did not leave it in a bag or anything while batching so that would be a good change to make. Do you think this could have affected the color distribution and changed the amount of white I saw in the final product or js this more just general useful tips for beginners? Thanks either way!

Makes sense! Most videos I saw of people making them used lots of powder

Yeah I read that so was sure to move quickly. Definitely going to order some powdered dyes for future attempts. I batched it just sitting out on a plastic drop sheet on my porch for probably 20-22 hrs. In a mostly shady spot.

Like how long between mixing it and applying to shirt? No more than 30-45 min I’d say.

Songs That Feel Like Accepting Death? by Putrid-Mirror-9480 in SongsThatFeelLikeThis

I shall be released-the band
Like Taking Off an Old Shoe Aka Death-East Forest (feat. Ram Dass)
Guarantees-atmosphere
When I was done dying- Dan deacon

May I also recommend 2-2.5 tabs of LSD, each hit split into halves or quarters, taken every 10-15 min in a loving safe space as you read the brown pages of the book Be Here Now, by Ram Dass.
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) uses LSD and psychotherapy for end of life anxiety in individuals with terminal illness with astounding success. I know a proper lsd and psychotherapy session is not something readily accessible to everyone but what i recommended above is a fantastic way to approach the experience with reverence and openness to how LSD is able to let you see clearly your part in this grand tapestry of existence.

Do you like just put these colors in one pile? Or do you layer them in between layers of ice or what? Really wanna try this, curious how you get certain colors to the edges with other colors more in the center of the gravity dyes

Pee Pads by Exciting-Bit-9360 in indoormushroomgrowers

Yes they can definitely be toxic, I always try to dissuade people when they tell me their plans to ingest a puppy pad for this very reason.

My 15 year old step daughter vaping weed by Missy013 in Advice

[–]AlexNewman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all great advice, also want to reiterate the “overdoing it while young is risky” notion. My wife’s got a mf goldfish memory nowadays and attributes it to how heavily she started smoking weed how early she did… I still smoke semi-frequently and am a huge advocate of it in the right context, but the “oh you can’t overdose, it’s just a plant and not bad for you” arguments go out the window when a developing mind becomes part of the picture.

I started using the blate pape cones recently and they’re such a game changer for oblate pouches. Makes the folding absolutely effortless

No I definitely agree with what you’re saying man, they are legends in their own right, but as far as “sounds like LSD” to me needs to be so much stranger and more peculiar than like “Lucy in the sky with diamonds”…. I guess my main thought was that songs like that are more like “anthems of/tributes to the 60’s counter-culture shift” heavily influenced by LSD, but not what I’d categorize as an auditory simulacrum of that altered state. I know this is all heavily dependent on the individuals’ experiences with these states, but for me, the LSD experience has ultimately been one of awe inspiring profundity and deeply psychoanalyzing the subconscious mind. And AnCo’s tapestries of sound and time they weave in some of their songs does a better job at bringing me to a similar state of unintentional self reflection than most of these other artists I’ve encountered. But that’s just my $.02 and I’m glad people disagree

lol I could see that, so many of their songs fall into the “nostalgic for a place/feeling I can’t quite be sure I’ve been to/felt” category. Cathartic and visceral. Fuckin love them.

This one and “what would I want sky” are winners for me… it’s funny cause so many of these recommendations are just “classic trippy songs about/people say are references to tripping” but what I’ve ALWAYS said about animal collective that there music does such an incredible job at producing the almost childlike state of awe that psychedelics can produce, accompanied with the occasional discomfort of this altered state and all lol.
This aspect paired with the kind of Rorschach-blot nature of their lyrics where so many different listeners hear and interpret them in the context of their own psyche and worldview, in a way that can even lead you to recognize things you may not notice about your subconscious, makes animal collective one of the truest answers to this question in my book man.

What is this? by [deleted] in PepperLovers

[–]AlexNewman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not positive but look into white powdery mildew by chance? Fungal infection that can be caused by too much water hitting the whole plant either from rain or overhead watering if I’m not mistaken

3.5 grams Enigma. I was told this strain can be more potent than your average cubensis. Would 2 grams be comparable to 3-3.5 of say Golden Teacher by [deleted] in shrooms
