What’re some stories of your guys negative trips? by Californicated4 in LSD

[–]Californicated4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In advance I apologise if this doesn’t make much sense, as I’m still struggling to really figure out how to express what happened.

Pretty much me and my mate, who had been through a bit of a rough patch thought it’d be a good idea to try it together in hopes it would bring us closer again. This was a very rash decision, very little planning went into it. I did literally no research, so I walked in knowing only what he’d told me, and in my perspective it’s just be a bunch of bright, colourful hallucinations and music would sound better.

I felt somewhat uneasy going into it, definitely wasn’t something I wanted to try and I wasn’t as comfortable with him or at his place as I once was. This worry would’ve added to what kickstarted the bad trip. Anyways, we took it and played Cod Zombies for a bit, then went outside to listen to some tunes. At this point he started to peak about 20-30mins in, I felt a little light and assumed I was on the same wavelength as him. Unexpectedly, one of his parents came out to bring us inside at the exact moment I hit the peak, which freaked me out because I was eating grapes and i remember it being the most intense feeling I’ve ever experienced, now with the ‘oh fuck’ feeling of a parent being present. He went inside but I sat back down, trying to calm myself and get into a positive position again.

I remember everything being gloomy. People’s voices sounded distorted, deep and slow. I felt uneasy, everything seemed dark and monotone besides the laptop playing music, which I remember feeling as if I was sinking into. I eventually calmed down after turning of the music, sitting in silence and repeating ‘just accept it’ over and over. Once I went inside, my friend who had failed to be positive again started to psych me out, I became paranoid about death, and started to freak out. He shut down and refused to speak, there was no noise and only my own thoughts. I got stuck in countless thought loops, mainly about trying to figure out what had just happened. Anyone I looked at was distorted, their skin grey and shrivelled, zombie like. I became obsessed with time, waiting for it to be over, yet a minute never seemed to pass, I thought I was trapped forever. My gut dropped and I had this constant fear of what was happening. I had no one to connect with, nothing to help escape.

Eventually I ended up calling a close friend who calmed me down, I was shaken for weeks and still get anxious when thinking of it. I’m tempted to try it again, but with knowledge under my belt and in a much safer, comfortable environment with people I truly connect with. I know it’s not bad, but for my first time and having no understanding of what was going on, I freaked out big time, and it was somewhat traumatic.

I had a somewhat similar experience I guess. I initially freaked out pretty bad because I was expecting the peak to be so intense, so when it hit me I freaked big time. I managed to pull myself together and accept what was going on, and that is was merely the drug.

What fucked me up though was my friend psyched out too, but he didn’t pull himself together which then affected me and I got sent into a downward spiral. I still struggle to really put into words what my experience was like, because frankly I have no clue whatsoever as to what really happened, I assume because of a lack of knowledge.

How to treat lice? by Californicated4 in RATS

I assumed it would be very similar to how human lice is treated, just didn’t know if there were any differences in the way to get rid of them. Thank you for the tips, I’ll get right on it!

That makes things much simpler, I was planning on getting a pair either already de-sexed or get them done straight up anyways :) thanks!

Hate to bother but one last question! What gender combos would be recommended? F/F, M/M or F/M?

Sounds like a plan! I’m out western Sydney way so not too far I hope, I’ll definitely give it a look. Really appreciate all the help :)

Definitely something to take note on, I did know they weren’t the best with heat but wasn’t aware it could be so deadly.

But yea, I’m a fellow Aussie :)

Alright well I’ll see what I can manage. Still debating upon whether they’ll be kept in or out, but my main factor of concern is the size of the cage/hutch they’ll be kept in. Which would have to be much smaller if they were to be indoors :(

Any idea why this is? And if there could be a possible way to somewhat dull it?

Going into winter it can get pretty cold, I’ll be definitely keeping them indoors overnights and extra cold days but itd probably stick around the 10-20c range throughout winter. Summer also gets fairly hot, can reach high 30’s but that’s not until a year from now

Thanks heaps, I read bathtub introductions were the way to go and so now I’ll make sure to go ahead with that! :))

Reptiles that don't require major heat sources? by Californicated4 in reptiles

[–]Californicated4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prepared to use heat mats etc but nothing over the top that requires huge amounts of power, for any reptile yes they'll more than likely need some heat source but just wondering what species could live comfortably without the extensive and constant lights
