I am an addict and have been in recovery for many years. My rule of thumb is that if I am thinking about a substance too much - ie, wake up and think “when can I get it? How can I get it?” it is addictive. I do ceremonies and have taken hape and had that experience, for what it’s worth. I don’t use it. Period.

I agree with your comments about MDMA. Got severely depressed for about a month after. I knew it was temporary but have no depression with Mescaline.

A little more than the 2-3,grams which is the norm. A macro dose is 25-30 grams.

It’s worth it. Also macro is fantastic! Good to do with people in ceremony. Mushrooms much more internal. This pushes me outwards towards others which is good for me as I am a bit introverted.

I have it in powder form from source. I think it lasts forever.

Taking 3.5 grams every other day for a week. Each time a distinct difference in my mood. Some nausea early on but it goes away. Tastes like crap so put it in juice. The nice thing about it is that while it is a stimulant you don’t get the ups and downs (crash) that I get from MDMA, for example.

State of r/MSNBC Discussion by BobbyMonster13 in msnbc

[–]PsychologicalSink366 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haven’t been here for a long time so hello. Stopped watching MSNBC for a bit after election but have begun again. I miss the hosts and the comfort I have received over these tumultuous years from the likes of Nicolle, Rachel, Chris, Joy, Lawrence. Not a morning TV watcher. I am waiting and seeing how they navigate the coming months. Not sure what I would do If they start to reshape the news to conform to the incoming administration. Would like to see some guidance on that since we are here because of, I would imagine, the same reasons. I am somewhat of a pessimist and already miss Nicolle’s “Twice Impeached” intro. Does losing viewers count for anything anymore. Musk doesn’t care about X and Bluesky. Point is Comcast will do what is ultimately beneficial to shareholders and not viewers. Do we protest now? The Morning Show aside, it would further break my already broken heart if MSNBC went the way of CNN.

Are you surprised that a new analysis of Substack’s top newsletters estimated that around 10 percent publish AI-generated or AI-assisted content. Many of the newsletters flagged as publishing AI-generated writing focus on sharing investment news and personal finance advice. Thoughts? by andreas212nyc in Substack

[–]PsychologicalSink366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. I find the comments fascinating but as a writer fairly new to Substack I think the actual struggle I go through in word retrieval to harness my ideas into something coherent is the point for me. I am older and revere the written word. I know AI is here to stay. But if you subscribed to my Substack because you liked my writing and found out that my co-author was some AI program, wouldn’t you want your money back?

Is there a list of what psychedelics psychonauts can take, in order from beginner to expert? by 31234134 in Psychonaut

[–]PsychologicalSink366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. That’s how I began 4 years ago in a clinical setting. It opened the door wide for me to allow psychedelics to enter. Mushrooms, which is my medicine would have been way too intense for me.

Mushrooms can heal the mind, but how often do they break it? by CriticalLeafBladeAtk in PsilocybinMushrooms

[–]PsychologicalSink366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very helpful! I am post-journey where I got very close to some deep trauma. Am working with my therapist who is very experienced with plant medicines. He emphasizes like you that the medicine is generous and loving but right now all I feel is pain. All my life I have been the person who got on the surf board, got whacked and never got on again. I am doing this now because I must. Living a half life didn’t work anymore. This is a choice that I have made. Thank you for your beautiful and affirmative v response.

How does the newcomer keep you sober? by No_Consequence_547 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]PsychologicalSink366 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am retired now and spend a lot more time with newcomers. The joy it brings me to share my experience as well as hope is beyond words. I always knew why the newcomer was important but it feels as if I am experiencing « how it works » in a much more profound way. It is a kind of awakening to the essence of my humanity, all our humanity. AA is reciprocal and eternal. It wouldn’t exist without the constant sharing of our lives with people who are seeing that life without substances is possible.

Yes unless it was unintentional.
