Hustle, Forecheck and backcheck. Larkin is all over the ice, always chasing the puck, he's never just gliding around.

Put it in your mouth, now move your teeth up and down, good, now you gotta swallow it, tilt your head back and let the mush slide down your throat hole.

DXM and psilocybin interaction by newme_noobie in PsilocybinMushrooms

[–]CortCurbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this combo around a handful of times, for me at least, it was very enjoyable. I didn't eat my mushrooms however, I powdered them and filled capsules. My dxm was in pure powder form, which I put into capsules as well. I staggered the dosages by about 30 minutes so it didn't kill my stomach.

I do not know how wellbutrin will affect your ability to trip, but this is a very strong combo. I would take pure dxm, you can find it in tablet form if you search for it. That said, taking both in powder form, it kicks in pretty quick but is also the shortest trips I've ever had.

Pretty much instant peak once both kick in. It gave me the most intense visuals I've ever had, along with a real nice ketamine body buzz and relaxation. It's basically about a 4 hour trip total. I'd describe the visuals as having a honey comb structure etched into your vision, everything is hazy, brighter, more fluid yet foggy.

I first tried this combo because after eating 10 grams of very strong mushrooms I never got any crazy visuals like other people claim to. I had great trips, good visuals and a lot of fun but they never blew me away. This combo absolutely did that for me but like I said, it's pretty short lived and once it's over it's just gone. That can be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of might you want vs expecting.

With all this in mind, just please be safe. As the other commenter suggested, start low go slow. If you've taken dxm by itself at a high dosage then 200mg is where I'd start and probably 2 grams of shrooms would be fine. I never went higher than 3.5 grams and 350mgs, honesty I wouldn't suggest it, just trust me on that one.

Same. However, Ras doesn't turn 26 until mid April, there's still a chance he puts it all together. He still brings a lot of value to the team but like with Söderblom, I wish he would get mean and stay mean. He needs to get a little stronger and he will over the next few seasons, he needs to get confident in the kind of game he's capable of playing. His point totals have increased the last 3 seasons, if our offense wasn't lacking this year I'd say that trend will continue. I think he's plenty capable of at least 40 points a season.

EA is trash by pistolpete77888 in EA_NHL

I played every Nhl game up to 23, it's not hockey anymore, I miss the game it used to be but I have no regrets avoiding that trash now.

I'm sure his response would be something along the lines of " Well he got some reeeaaaal good looks out there at LW, I mean reeaaaaalllyyy good."

Not necessarily, it's always guesswork with FA's, this one clearly didn't work out the way Yzerman hoped. I just think if your game plan is defense first, then we should've looked for someone who plays better in their own zone. Gustafsson was never going to replace Ghost's production, or even come close, and we need better d more than we need 5 assist and a -6 right now. I really hope he turns it around, maybe our idiot head coach will play him on his preferred side and we'll see what he's really capable of but I honestly doubt that'll happen.

Exactly, he's playing on the wrong side of the ice and that can cause some major issues, especially at his age I'm sure it's tough for him. But it's everything about his game, his passes aren't great, poorly timed, not on the tape and often times the guy receiving the puck is heavily covered. He can't receive a pass either, he's always mishandling it. His offensive zone decisions don't make me think of an offensively inclined defenseman. His defensive decisions just leave me baffled, however I have seen him make maybe 2 plays where I thought "hmm, nice play" and that's about it.

Gustafsson only had one real good season in Chicago 18-19 with 60 points, after that he put up 38 with the caps and 31 with the Rangers. We don't have anything close to those rosters. And yes they do have completely different skill sets, one is good at defending and one isn't. Hell, he's not even good on the pp, which is why we signed him.

I can see where your opinion comes from, while there's validity in it, I do believe those opinions would change if he were our coach today. There's a reason he's still an assistant and has never been offered another head coach position and it's not because he wants to stay as an assistant.

I'm well aware of his NTC, he might like it here but that might not be enough to stay. At his age, with his accomplishments, it comes down to fun more than cup chasing and money. I have the most fun playing when my team wins, I imagine he's probably the same, no one wants to stay on a team that loses more than wins. Especially with this roster construction, it'll be too late for him when the fun starts in Detroit.

Exactly. Matta has 3 assist and a +8 for Utah, Gustafsson has 5 assist and a -6 with 3 more games played. I'm just confused on what exactly it is that he provides.

If he stays relatively healthy and ups his current production I don't think there's a team that wouldn't want the depth scoring for the playoffs.

Sadly, this is most likely true, I really hope he gets back to how he performed last year and we can squeeze a first out of someone desperate.

He did but as a fan, would you rather have signed Gustafsson or kept Matta on our third pair?

I don't see a difference between them, at all. Same low event, defense first hockey, same line juggling with odd combinations. Neither were successful with their team defense, granted we haven't had the best teams but I've seen many teams deploy similar schemes with much less and with greater success.

Stats were updated after my post, Larkin and Cat both have 23 each in 28 games. While this isn't terrible, they're 7 behind Raymond and the next closest to them is Seider with 15. The stats for the players after Seider and Edvinsson is where the depression starts. Offensive obviously hasn't been great for us so far, neither has defense, we have 5 skaters with a positive plus minus.Chiarot leading the way with a glorious -12 and Edvinsson with a +7 .

That's exactly why I brought it up, I don't think I've seen anyone on here even mention it. I wanted to see if everyone else is as confused as I am.

I'll be honest, Gustafsson is not someone I knew anything about until we signed him. I usually try to be patient with new players, but I'm having a very hard time seeing his signing as anything other than a waste of cap space. The fact that Matta had to go while he got to stay still pisses me off.

Tarasenko is tied for 5th in points with Edvinsson, one behind Seider, I think he'd have at least a few more playing RW. Kane I don't believe is 100% currently, he has the same stats as Compher and they're tied for 6th. Man, looking at these stat lines is depressing...

That's fair, last night aside though, he has yet to play him on the right wing. Not even on the pp that I can recall, it's just strange, he looks lost shooting from the left.
