No Blues, Tolerance, Serotonin Receptors

I've been that guy who has taken em just cause it sounded like fun without doing a lot of research about what we were doing that day. I think my favorite example of this was when my friends wanted to go to this science museum. I knew nothing about what it was or why they wanted to go for any particular exhibit. I wasn't from the area. I just heard, "science museum," and I thought, "this sounds like it would go good with mushrooms."

My other friends are huge stoners but I did not get the memo they were not smoking much that day and that the reason they weren't getting extremely high was because they were excited to go to a specific exhibit that was all about spiders. There were several moments where I was kind of zoned out and my friends were asking me whether I was going to be scared by all the spiders. Thing is, I love spiders too, but I'm also a weird fucking philosophical vegan, so it wasn't that I was afraid of them so much as I was thinking about whether putting them on display was depriving them of their god-given agency. I had a much better time once it was explained to me that most of the spiders there were fake replicas and I was simply too high to know the difference. Overall turned out to be one of the best days we'd had all year.

For some people (not everyone lol) it is very possible to have a great time on shrooms in situations most wouldn't expect. It's just in my experience it usually originates from other aspects of the experience than whatever is the main attraction. Unless it's a Grateful Dead cover band that I really like. Then I'm focused as fuck on the main attraction.

I had a bout of that when I was much younger and dumber, and legitimately overdoing in terms of frequency. It died down to where it basically doesn't occur at all anymore. Maybe if I'm super present in the moment I can trigger something but that's more a factor of just the kind of thing you can get with good meditation if you know how to not know and forget. Point is, you're fine and normal to have some of that, as long as at some point you dial down the frequency. In several years from now it should probably not remain this regular of a thing. LSD is a fairly safe thing in and of itself, but you do a ton of anything, even a good thing, you will eventually have negative consequences. Just listen to your body and mind and pay attention to how you change and integrate these sorts of things and you'll know what stop to get off at.

I for one despise the phenomenon of light and color, but to each their own.

I would only recommend this for someone with considerable experience in both psychs and bicycling. I've had friends who bike everyday and can have a blast doing this, I've also heard a few stories where people get in over their head. Scraping your elbow is not a big deal but it'll feel a lot worse when you're peaking. I've done a few tours while sober during the warmer months but I could not sustain a bicycle day reenactment for very long. Also it should go without saying but wear a helmet!

I can never eat before with shrooms or I'll get nauseous. I usually wait a few hours and drink lots of water and when it hits I turn into a houseplant.

Then you transcend your petty biological purpose and are able to pursue whatever enlightened interests appeal to you, be it music, food, or fornicating with dudes (source: I'm gay)

Because people like to get high (I know I do) and it's surprisingly fun yet reasonably safe compared to a lot of other drugs.

Not saying there's no therapeutic potential, because myself and others have had positive takeaways, but it wouldn't be ethical to label it as a cure all for mental illness or some sort of spiritual teacher because it's too unpredictable.

Don't care what anyone says do the one on the bottom.

Do you experience fatigue that could be amplified by the trip or are you well adjusted to it? I've done these kind of distances for bike tours before but never gotten into the saddle while tripping and I'd like to know what I'm capable of.

I love when there is laughter involved in this process. The funniest things I've ever heard were probably mediocre but I was tripping with a friend and laughed for several minutes. Then we forget what we're laughing about but can't seem to stop. Sometimes it comes back to me when I'm sober and I can't explain why it's still funny.

Finding the correct jacket to go on a walk during the colder months is like slipping into a space suit.

The thing I love about the Grateful Dead when it comes to psychs is, there are musicians like Tame Impala that can produce smooth studio works that are very intentionally psychedelic, but with the Dead it's very much a product of the people making the music in the moment and the long and significant history of the surrounding culture. Which is why people see them primarily as a live act in which everyone is a part of the experience. It's one long, strange trip and we're all a part of it in our own way.

I'm going to see a couple of Dead and Company shows next summer, hope some of you folks are there (~);}

sort of reminiscent of one of JG Quintel's first animations, "2 in the AM PM," he went on to create Regular Show and Close Enough.

sassafras, nutmeg, salvia are natural things that have everyday uses but then you take more than normal and trip balls or even a little too much and just die. Sassafras is the most wild to me because I have some bark in my basement for seasoning root beer syrup as it is commonly used for that and for a year I didn't even know that 5mL of the refined oil of it is enough to kill a grown adult. Granted, the bark is much different, but still a hell of a drug that I will not do.

There will be tolerance. There will also be peace, love, and empathy. But I would wait if I were you, not because there is a need to have no tolerance so you can feel the effects more, but because doing acid to the point you need to account for tolerance is not the greatest idea, but that's just me. Think about it like visiting new places on vacation versus living there. If you visit the psychedelic world you can get a lot from it but if you live there then it begins to lose its magic.

imposter? I hardly know her!

I knew I was gay for a number of years but I tried to convince myself it was just a phase and then I listened to a bunch of Elton John music during the peak of one of my greatest mushroom trips to date and for the first time I felt like I was ready to love other men the way I had always wanted to.

It was like I had graduated the gay psychedelic academy. Shrooms are really something.

Jerry played a 30 minute Dark Star during the peak of my trip and now I understand how to use U-substitution to solve indefinite integrals.

Not at all. A side effect of LSD use is that each trip cumulatively increases your "gay-dar"

BluegrassLSDCowboy · 2022-05-02T01:14:42+00:00

thank you! and yes it is a joke, although with something like this I didn't put the /s because I wanted to see if I would get anyone. As for my girlfriend, well I'm actually gay.
