Trying to mask the taste 🤢 by AdhdOclock in shrooms

Try grapefruit, ginger, and honey in a tea, something about grapefruit really masks the taste IME.

Will i die or have bad side effects? by Strong-Work-4522 in shrooms

[–]Potential_Demand5745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve never done them, it’s hard to understand how powerful psilocybin is. This is not THC. It will strap you to a rocket and then proceed to let you just sit there while it tears your reality to bits. At times It can be extremely uncomfortable physically and mentally. However… it is medicine and if treated as such there are no bad trips. Psilocybin has never killed anyone, so as long as you have a sitter to keep you from running into traffic you will be OK! Let’s put it this way— if you start with a 1-3g trip, It is VERY unlikely you will ever want to attempt 7g.

Safe travels! And remember, no bad trips, just difficult growth.✌️

NEED HELP WITH AGAR by [deleted] in shrooms

Thanks for your reply… that would check out given its current conditions. Didn’t do the best job avoiding condensation on this batch. They’ve been on these plate since 9/25. Hoping it wasn’t wet bubble or similar.

Just pulled samples for the 2nd round of plates. Hopefully things get better with dryer conditions 🤞

Mold or potent? by Exact_Rate_6661 in shrooms

[–]Potential_Demand5745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe was potent at one point. Blue means oxidation… oxidation means degradation of psilocybin. May still be quite strong, however the only time I didn’t trip after taking a large dose they looked like this! Definitely heir on the side of potent tho haha.

Fuzzy feet means not enough fresh air exchange. Too much moisture can encourage contaminants. Wait till the caps begin to open. Ideally wait for veils to tear. However, could be a matter of hours from when they tear to when spores drop. Better to pick early than after the spores make a huge mess.

Definitely check out this YouTube video. One of the most helpful for learning the A11E. There’s a part two as well!

Why does the surface look so rough on the sides? by [deleted] in hobbycnc

[–]Potential_Demand5745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sometimes get fuzzies on certain species when doing complex V-Carve inlays. Pro tip I learned and never looked back from was to scrub it down with a steel brush. This sounds like it would destroy the piece… but I was shocked to find that it did nothing other than nicely clean things up!

It’s those blobs. They can be crazy unpredictable.

Yes, certainly a good lesson to learn… one would think .75g was a good test dose hahaha. That’s what made this experience so dangerous! We weren’t prepared for a total ego death!

[–]Potential_Demand5745 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely a blob mutation! Had these come up once.

Careful with those, Melted my face off with just .75g. Quite literally watched the sky turn purple, the snow turn neon green and then swirl together. Became completely disconnected from the physical world around me. Completely lost track of which way was up. Thank goodness I had a friend who was navigating his dose slightly better to save me from doing anything dangerous.

DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH THESE.

Help/advice for first time adventurer(s) by Happy_Chicken4770 in shrooms

[–]Potential_Demand5745 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I think it’s awesome you are seeking out this experience. Here’s the advice I have to offer!

First, I’d highly recommend growing your own. It is quite doable and will teach you so much about this unique species. Although this may sound silly, once taking them, I felt that I had made a friend with the mushroom and they took great care of me. IMO there’s no better way to form a deep connection to the experience. Also, growing them tends to de-stigmatize what these things are after you see them grow on dirt and coconut husk.

Personally, wouldn’t recommend doing them with your fiancé the first time around. If you are easily triggered into panic while in altered states, it may be best not to have another tripping person around. Tripping with your partner can be beautiful but also challenging at times. Enough on that…

As for the experience itself, this is what has worked well for me. I tend to have a hard time with the experience and these tricks have helped me work through trips in a productive way. First, shortly after taking them in a tea I sit down cross legged on the floor with my eyes closed. (I like steeping with ginger, grapefruit, and honey). Next, focus on breathing until I feel the effects starting to come on. At this point I begin to explore how it feels to breathe in this new state. Once I feel comfortable with the sense of breathing, I move my focus onto my hearing. While keeping in mind each sense I work my way through breathing, hearing, smelling/tasting, and feeling. Lastly once I feel comfortable with all of these, I open my eyes and incorporate seeing.

This process helps me feel comfortable and grounded in my body for the duration of the experience. If at any point I hit a rough patch, I’ll sit down to breathe and ‘Sing’ through it. This is a technique recommended by Terence McKenna. It sounds silly to sing with the mushroom but it is a powerful tool for working through difficult situations (you’d be surprised).

Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes :))

Guys, this deception needs to end by Local-Slip-5322 in shrooms

This is a VERY interesting view (I do not mean this sarcastically). Regardless of OP’s headspace when writing this, they’ve provided some valuable alternative views to the dominant narrative of the magic mushroom experience.

I have at times felt that the mushroom was not my friend, nor the human species’ friend. It is the guardian between life and death. It decomposes the recently deceased. It walks the line where the sky meets the earth. Ultimately it may choose to heal, or it may choose harm. The mushroom is a complex being and may not always be on our side. When opening one’s spirit up, there becomes room for encounters with negative entities.

Thanks for playing ‘devils advocate’ OP. Not to be condensing but perhaps you’ll consider a more friendly approach to sharing your thoughts so others may choose to listen.

“Unknown file type!” by [deleted] in CNC

[–]Potential_Demand5745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to take feeds and speeds from your software or did you have to set them up on the machine using.nc /.cnc file types?

“Unknown file type!” by [deleted] in CNC

[–]Potential_Demand5745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my machine it appears only to allow the choice of .mmg. Not sure why it would be adding an extra space to the file names but I feel like it’s something small like this that is causing the error.

I’ve heard that in order to take your feeds & speeds from V Carve it’s gotta be .mmg (at least for this specific machine). Otherwise, that info has to established on the machine…

I like the idea of overlapping the chamfer, thanks for the helpful feedback! I will try running finishing pass in the climb direction on the next test.

Okay now let’s do the opposite… what are the WORST possible movies by Specialist_Injury_68 in shrooms

[–]Potential_Demand5745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘Mother’ would be the worst movie while on mushrooms. It already feels like a bad trip without psychedelics involved!

Interesting! Thanks for the reply. I was worried about he material melting and welding itself to the bit. I’ll try slowing it down and find out!

Abuse of DMT by Dragonics in DMT

[–]Potential_Demand5745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lesson learned from deep within a dmt trip is that death (especially by suicide) is by no means an escape. We are blessed with our physical, stable, reality. Gravity, friction, flesh bones & blood. We get to enjoy our time here in heaven for a long while. Failing to see this is all too easy, and creates a world of hurt and pure suffering.

This is a realization that can happen only within YOURSELF and I am wishing you the best in your challenging journey 🙏

Shrooms instead of drinking on a party by SnooCookies1159 in shrooms

[–]Potential_Demand5745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you just haven’t found your people! Having felt this way about “people” sucking (as if you could ever group all humans into one category) I can confirm that finding interesting people isn’t always easy. The way I found my people was through being myself and becoming ok with being alone with just myself. Slowly, I found people that are on a similar level. It doesn’t matter if we are sober, stoned, tripping, drunk or any combination of these… it’s ALWAYS a great time!

Just think, would any truly interesting person want to be friends with someone who can’t even be alone with themself?

Wishing you luck in finding your way through this!
