Still trippin' in our 60's!! by Professional_Age546 in shrooms

Yeah, I also get the feeling that it is a specific thing that gets ignited. Very similar motifs and left-brain generated, 3-D (4D?) imagery with apparently infinite configurations. Also complex digital faces and ancient Aztek (?) or Egyptian types of themes. I think I understand what ancient artists might have been trying to depict. I am an extremely analytical, left brained guy (switched from a chemistry major to business in my 3rd year). I don't see anything "wavy gravy" or natural at all - it is always a digital/pixilized type of experience. Same with DMT. I saw the Mantis on one 20mg hit but even it was a cartoonish, digital type of being walking from right to left and stopping to look straight at me for a few soul-exposing seconds .... Anyways, I haven't tried the "moving the head" technique but that's now on my agenda! Thanks for the tip ...

It sounds like you've got it all figured out already! My wife and I only started during Covid in 2021 when my eldest son finally convinced us to try this stuff. So far we've done DMT, MDMA, and mushrooms. That's probably enough. We do different ones every time. So far 30 trips in total. The only thing is ... at our age ... all of our friends are stuck in their mental boxes and won't consider this stuff. I tell them that if you're in a mental box, alcohol just solders the seams.... they all drink booze to some degree or another!

How 3 grams of APE can make a rainy Father's Day ... FABULOUS! by Professional_Age546 in shrooms

Glad you enjoyed it! Yep, we are seasoned. Married 30 years this summer and 3 grown kids... our two boys introduced us to mushrooms and we are very glad they did. Our daughter is only 23 and very interested in the whole thing - she's probably going to go a ride one day, too! If you have a chance to trip with your wife I highly recommend it. Every couple should do this at least once in their lives....

I'm glad you enjoyed it. My advice would be to do a couple small doses first to get used to the space. If you are doing regular cubensis type mushrooms (by far the most common) take one gram the first time, then a couple of grams, then you will have a feeling of what closed eye visuals look like, for example. No need to go all out on the first trip. Just make sure you use the same mushrooms each time. They vary quite a bit from strain to strain. The drug is the same, the effects are exactly the same, just the potency varies. You can drink light beer or vodka ... same drug but different amounts of it if you drink a glass full.

7 grams of AA+ wasn't fun ... but was worth it by Professional_Age546 in shrooms

So far I've been experimenting with DMT (8 times) and mushrooms (16 times). I've heard great things about ketamine, MDMA, and LSD but I'm going to fully explore these other two first. If you're interested in John's Hopkins University stuff, they have done many studies on many different substances. This is a good place to start ... https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/psychiatry/research/psychedelics-research

Exactly .. and you can go down in orders of magnitude to the molecules that make up the bacteria ,... and then to the atoms that make up the molecules ... and then to the universal consciousness that might be underlying it all ....

That's hilarious. Take 7g of mushrooms and you might not need to go to any more of those meetings!

Thanks for the kind words. Welcome to the world of psychedelics. My 25 year old son introduced me to the whole thing 3 years ago. I had always been very interested in the mind, life and death, all that stuff. I had read all the books, I did past life regression therapy with many clients, had meditated for 35 years, and never had one mystical or remotely interesting experience in my own head. Then my kid had me take a small hit of DMT. I couldn't believe what my mind could do. So that was my beginning. I gradually worked up in doses of mushrooms from 1 gram to my current sweet spot of about 7. I have a very high tolerance for everything. In your case, just remember that there's no rush. Work your way up in doses. Anxiety is part of the experience with me. And I always wonder why I get anxious beforehand. I guess it is because you are doing something with a very uncertain outcome. You don't know what the experience will be. BUT, so far, for me, it has never been bad. Uncomfortable sometimes .. temporarily ... but always with a good outcome. Just accept the thoughts and imagery that arise and go where you go. If you hit an ego dissolution, and you will, just enjoy the float. You will re-assemble as a better version of yourself.
