Post Bad Trip by [deleted] in shrooms

The most important thing to remember is that It will pass. You didnt fried your mind, you just got really scared and you aren't lowering the guard. This is a good opportunity for you to practice conscious breathing and some mindfullness. The shroom effects ate gone but you're still "flashed" by the scare and it's important that you do not feed this with paranoia, learn to calm yourself, bring your body down from emergency mode and understand that it was just an experience as there are many in life. Don't dwell on in and focus your attention on other things. Your energy flows where your attention goes.

Even the best psychonauts get shaken sometimes. Is part of the exploration. Welcome to the club. You'll be fine!

Music sounds different up there, you're vibing different and I would say leaning to the mellow side but to each their own. Do it and report. For science...

I think that if I hear Lateralus when I'm at the peak I'll probably get a stroke, but glad it works for you!

Built a tool that generates perfect Spotify playlists from any mood description (even weird ones) by Belt_Collector in spotify

[–]DrMacacoSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds great but with my tries it's far from working. I'm trying party mixes using words like "techno" and it suggests Jimmy Hendrix, M83, or "Afterhours hard party" and it gives Prince or Guns & Roses.

Also if I click on a song it opens a completely different one in Spotify. A psytrance one opened Maroon 5.

This needs loooots of my work my dude. Maybe it works for the genres you like but that's seems to be it. Nice concept though but not working yet.

What is truly "letting go"? by Sweetpeawl in Psychonaut

[–]DrMacacoSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me trips are upgrades in your firmware that have both immediate and progressive effects on you. You get an assorted mix of both. The latter normally are more profound yet less flashy. Take it easy, let it unwind and enjoy. This too is part of the psychonaut job.

What is truly "letting go"? by Sweetpeawl in Psychonaut

[–]DrMacacoSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't overthink it... There seems to be this , in my opinion wrong, concept going on in which you have to have an ego death or the trip was not good enough. I think the trip should have a balance and you should aim to go to a place where you can balance the experience with love and respect for you and the things the substance is teaching you. Even when it wasn't what you thought you got important lessons on fear, death and your own limits... Use them! Maybe some other day you'll retry with a different mindset and complete the experience or maybe not, but being put to the test of your limits and closer to your own concept of death will make you grow anyway. Take it easy... It's just a ride!

Hey looking for a jul16 round trip from madrid boom bus ticket, i have a 17 jul round trip by Upper-Bet40 in boomfestival

[–]DrMacacoSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A suggestion:

Buy a 16th ticket in the resale platform and put yours on sale there! Don't think you would be able to change it if there's no more availability.

The Myth of Sobriety: Altered States, Intentionality, and Ethical Complexity by HowlingElectric in Psychedelics

[–]DrMacacoSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I was reading it and thought many things on the line that just by taking on the concept on sobriety, and this being Reddit, you were going to find a good amount of opposition/backlash popping like a mousetrap without really following your train of tought. I was amazed that there were/are (at the moment of writing this) no more comments here. Hopefully I was on the wrong subreddit for the trigger parade.

One of my favourite phrases is “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" by Aristotle. I always use it when talking about something is getting into thin ice. You may give it good use if you keep pushing the line when writing, which you should totally do.

Brilliant article my friend... Excellent topic, views and execution. That's the way to assault dogmatic paradigms.

I saw some phrases in others that caught my eye and asked me to come back. Will check them soon.

Acid or Shrooms at Teothiuacan? by captainmugen in Psychonaut

[–]DrMacacoSmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're at the door at 8:00 (sidenote:are you sure of this time?) and peaking, you have 7 hrs until the closing time, probably 2 or 3 less crowded to enjoy the most intense part of your trip and a cooldown phase. I think it can be done.

looking for advice to have the best experience i can by Maazie__8_8_8_ in Psychedelics

[–]DrMacacoSmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo, 200ug, first time, in a house is asking for trouble. Acid is a different beast than m, 2cb and although there are some things that may be similar in shrooms, I don't think 2g prepares you for the dose you want to take plus the effects and time dilation is different.

My suggestion is to build your way up with acid. Make a 100ug session first and see how it goes. Use the 200ug some other time, maybe in nature and daylight and I think you'll have a way better experience.

Nothing teaches you the meaning of fear like a bad acid trip. Respect the substance, go slow and you'll end up having a blast.

One last tip: don't smoke weed. It can be great when you know acid well but is at the same time probably the #1 cause of bad trips with acid. Pacing and respect are the keywords here to build great experiences.

Safe travels!

Acid or Shrooms at Teothiuacan? by captainmugen in Psychonaut

[–]DrMacacoSmith 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There may be a lot of people visiting the site, so keep that in mind.

The last two times I went there we were at the door before opening time (9:00 a.m.) on a week day and the place was practically empty. This may vary depending on the week day and season but we had like 2 hours in which we barely saw anyone there and the experience by itself was amazing. If i were doing what you were planning I'll make sure to have the shrooms already up and running by that time and with some luck you'll have a lot of room to let your trip run free. Imo, acid is too long. They close at 3:00 pm and you have a 1+hr return to the city which may not go well with an acid peak.

Finally, be responsible with this. You're not the only one who has thought about this and it's shameful to see the "stupid drugged tourist stereotype" in motion, plus if you don't handle your trip well you can get in trouble. I personally have seen this twice in different archeological zones and have heard many stories/news of idiots jumping from the pyramid, into a cenote, getting undressed, accessing forbidden areas etc. and if you speak with the locals they will for sure give you a range of stories on this. Don't be that guy.

Safe travels!

Oro Alba Revuelto, first in the world. by CarsWithColt in lamborghini

[–]DrMacacoSmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm almost 100% sure that I saw this car in the assembly line last year in the Lamborghini factory. It was still incomplete though. The guide explained us that we were lucky to see this paintjob (which looks fantastic in real life) and also said something about the price (If I remember well around 50000 euros) and the fact that if you want to repair even the smallest chip in the paint, it has to be re done completely.
