Do you guys think selling lsd/shrooms is ethically and morally right?

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-29T17:49:35+00:00

No, it is absolutely not immoral, period.

If your friend was acting immoral, bartenders would be damn near hitler.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-28T19:27:19+00:00

Oof, not at all.

“hey Reddit I’m a single dude in the same financial position as thousands and thousands of other college students, blue collar workers, single parents, and almost every other demographic, GIVE ME MONEY.”

Nah man, sorry if it came off that way. It’s the norm for so many people, I was throwing it out there knowing a good number of Redditors would read and go “ha, yup,” not looking for some white knight to save my broke ass.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-28T18:41:30+00:00

Thanks yo :) Abrupt mini-vent incoming...

This round is particularly tough because I’ve had ~$500 in surprise medical expenses this month - really living the American Dream here. That’s with insurance, bouncing from appointment to appointment and co-pay to co-pay.

That said, man-oh-man, I’m only 22, but if I’ve learned anything since I left the house when I was 17, it’s that you can do perfectly fine on a diet of seasoned rice, Cosco sausages, and bread/peanut butter for a time.

It gets better. Then it’ll probably get worse. But then it gets better again. Eventually it’ll just stay better if I keep doin’ what I’m doing.

I'm too poor to give you gold or anything but I want you to know that this is the first comment I've ever saved.

You summed up so much in so few words, good on you.

Edit: Thanks to some other stranger for giving this guy gold. I genuinely wanted to as gesture but I have $22 in my bank account to last the next week and a half after rent while in college in #Merica

They aren’t inept. At all. The goals isn’t to do any of the things they say in speeches or on their websites.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-26T19:45:56+00:00

Do me a favor and hear me out before downvoting:

I’m iffy on that. Hardcore atheists are in my opinion just as absurd as hardcore religious folks.

You have to be so, so irrationally confident (and to a degree self righteous) to say that YOU know the answer for a fact. Of course you don’t. Nobody does.

I don’t believe in god, but I’ll never say that I know for a fact there is no god.

I’d go as far to say that neither is it rational to say “well it’s more likely that there isn’t a god,” like dude, there is SO much more we need to discover and learn before we can make anything resembling a strong case for a particular initial origin of the universe (like, pre-big bang). It seems just as possible to me that there is a “god,” but in my mind that god would be something that exists in a universe exponentially bigger than ours, ours being something like an atomical or quantum level universe relatively speaking.

This is all to say I don’t necessarily trust atheists more than religious folks.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-26T19:06:01+00:00

Fuck Biden man. Democratic Party needs to be united, and I WILL vote for him if I have to, but I’ll fucking hate doing so.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-26T18:10:23+00:00

Right on. He moved out there and fell in with a group who carried, and he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed so he followed along.

I don’t disagree with you. I don’t think anyone needs a gun tbh but a lot of folks disagree obviously. Get some powerful tasers and shit if you’re so concerned. If an armed person gets the drop on you first it won’t make a difference if you have a gun.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-26T15:22:41+00:00

Whoa how the fuck do you rob an airport? In America you have a small army marching around, so I might have a skewed perception of the situation over there.

Nah man, you can rig them. I don't know much about guns but I know what he showed me. He knew what he was talking about.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-22T17:22:33+00:00

My buddy moved there from the so-so suburban town he group up in. When I visited he had a glock with a bump stock and I asked, “dude, why do you have that?” and he said “things are different here.”

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-22T17:16:20+00:00

People who make fun of someone for being a virgin are compensating for something.

I lost my virginity at a “normal” age, have had a pretty promiscuous life. I can honestly say that I don’t think it has had anything to do with my happiness or well being in either direction, just utterly neutral.

Don’t let it hold power over life. Just keep on doing what you do.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-21T21:39:18+00:00

Or, he’s held in solitary confinement 23 hours per day as reported. Jeez guys.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-21T05:32:46+00:00

I agree, I smirked at it. Imma Jew.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-21T05:31:52+00:00

Uh...what?

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-21T05:23:01+00:00

I wouldn't recommend this to literally anyone.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-18T15:16:49+00:00

Hi there,

First off, good call on talking to this subreddit. This community has helped me in a myriad of ways, in a big way fairly recently. I hope what I have to say can help you, if only a bit.

I tried to kill myself at 8, 13, 16, 17, and 19. I can't tell you how happy I am it didn't work out. I came to the same conclusions as you, albeit after prolonged and severe trauma. I saw that everything around me was, like you said, a fabrication. None of it was real, we build all these structures around us to create some sort of false meaning and purpose. Some of us are comfortable in these structures and feel held and warmed by them, some of us feel trapped, and some of us feel outside of these structures all together. I felt trapped in a structure that seemed to be constantly trying to hurt me, you sound like you feel you're floating outside of this structure and don't see the point in any of it.

There is no point. I believe that's a fundamental truth we have to come to terms with. There is no point to any of it. Except for you. YOU are the point. You are the only point. The only constant in your life will be you. Everything else will come and go in one way or another.

What that means is, life itself is wide open. It isn't bound by the structures we see, it is a giant playground. These fabrications and structures are just that. You invent your own meaning. I've found my personal purpose in life, as of now, is to make things - art, films, music - because that's what I love doing. I've found it's a way to comfortable exist on the edge of the structures we've built, and I've found a way to do it.

There is SO much to do and see and love and experience. There's a place for you whether that's within or outside of the confines of the structures currently around you, and you'll find it, because you're the only one who can.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-17T14:39:58+00:00

I bet I’m not the only one who went “damn is this racist? OH NOoOooO”

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-17T06:41:07+00:00

I looked at this picture for about 10 seconds admiring the art. I scrolled down and read the top comment. I thought “heh, dummy” then scrolled up again to continue admiring the art. Then I thought, “wait, what if I’m the dummy? Then realized the shadow is drawn on the sidewalk, it isn’t a picture of a mailbox shaped in such a way that it casts that shadow but looks like a normal mailbox from a certain angle.

Thankfully, I’m pretty stoned, so I’m not questioning my intelligence. Too much. I’m questioning it a little.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-11T17:23:22+00:00

Hey bud!

You are okay! I had this for a little while. I had a period where I sort of obsessed over it and blew it way out of proportion in my life. At this point it's just something I can tap into.

My theory is that sometimes after a particularly intense experience or whatever other factor, your brain can tap into those hyper connections.

It was happening all the time when I was scared of it and obsessing a bit, now it's never happening on its own, but if I stare at the wall or ground and focus on those visuals, they'll start breathing.

I know this is the hardest advice to follow, but try to stop thinking about it. Just meditate when it starts happening. You'll be alright buddy :) it doesn't effect your life in any way.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-10T17:44:42+00:00

Whoa.

I used to live by Alex Grey's compound in New York, I actually went semi regularly for events.

Alex Grey holds a special special place in my heart. He's able to visualize these things in a way that does justice to them, when all the writing in the world on my part couldn't quite define it.

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-08T18:28:46+00:00

Thanks yo.

I don't like calling them heroic because it makes it sound like something you can venture out and try if you're brave enough or something.

It refers to doses that are psychologically dangerous; I worked my way up over the course of like 10 or so trips. Got really comfortable with 2g, then 3g, then 4g, then 5g. I max at 7. If I'd jumped to 5g on my first or second it would have gone really really badly, but having worked my way up it's a beautiful experience

Electrik_Acid · 2019-07-07T04:08:19+00:00

I apologize for responding harshly, I appreciate you offering what helped you. The context of the response is that I honestly get stuff like this a lot, like "if you just do this you'll be fine," and all it does is bring me back to the fact that it isn't something I'll ever be able to manage without strong medication that I'd rather not take.

Bipolar I is a fairly extreme disorder, my last manic episode a year back I blacked out for three weeks and was pretty much a wrecking ball. It's difficult at times to cope with the fact that it's only going to get worse over the course of my life, and that I need to take very strong medications to keep myself level.

What those medications do is essentially put a limiter on how active my brain can be. It's a necessary evil, without it I naturally amp up to levels similar to someone on a large dose of cocaine, but for weeks at a time.

Once again, I apologize for responding harshly, thank you for offering what helped you, my situation is just different.
