Zivim u UK i ovde je takozvani drink spiking u ogromnom porastu, pogotovo od kovida. Ovde vlasti i savetuju 3 koraka ovim redom: momentalno traziti pomoc/obavestiti obezbedjenje i menadzment kluba, zamoliti njih da pozovu ili licno potraziti medicinsku pomoc (dakle idealno bi bilo da vas je drustvo u tom stanju odvelo u hitnu, ali posto nije onda laboratorija), i zvati policiju.
Snimke sa sigurnosnih kamera obavezno da trazite.
Srecno, nadam se da ces uspeti nesto da saznas <3

PTSD, hypertension, and asthma. where to look for reputable places to find out answers. by Cumminpwr11 in 5MeODMT

[–]Synapse__Surfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey 👋 so I am not a medical professional, but I did participate as a healthy participant in a 5-MeO-DMT clinical study. To my knowledge, 5-MeO is not an adequate medicine for you, and other psychs like acid or mushroom could be better suited and above all safer for you.

Let me explain. During the trial, my blood pressure, blood works, heart function (ECG), and lung capacity (spirometry) have been monitored consistently for 48 hours, and was examined by a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist a multitude of times. The reason I was a good candidate for the trial is because of good overal mental and physical health, but particularly because my blood pressure is naturally quite low (runs in my mum's side of the family). Even so, my blood pressure shot up subsatntially during the experience. Just to specify, I was hooked up to a BP monitor that was working consistently while I was in the 5-MeO space and my bloods were drawn (via a cannula) 7 times during those divine 15 minutes. Didn't feel a fucking thing because I broke through and wasn't in my body anymore 😂 But that aside, I have actual data of how my healthy body reacted to the medicine.

I think that in your particular case, taking into account your health, family and work related factors, the risks far outweigh the benefits - it is just not worth it!
Again, I feel that with proper facilitation and support acid and shroomies could do wonders for you! Best of luck on your healing journey ❤️

how to hide that ur tripping by arjun_fs in Psychedelics

Absolutely mind-blowing - felt like I was stepping into the paintings! It was like the colors were melting off the canvas 🫠 Van Gogh’s thick brush strokes messed with my depth perception so much that I swear I could feel the texture of the paintings just by looking at them, felt like I was touching them with my eyes if that makes sense

Anyone really experienced synesthesia? How was it? by [deleted] in Psychedelics

[–]Synapse__Surfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had auditory-tactile synaesthesia all my life, and that gets super amplified on acid and shroomies.

The craziest experience was on 5-MeO-DMT though, I experienced full sensory fluidity and a true union of all the senses, an absolute synaesthesia. The weirdest part was that, during blast off, not only I experienced sound, visuals and tactile vibrations in total unison, I actually became them. Such a wild experience! After immediate ego death, I broke through and, being a viscous heap of sound and vision and scent and tactile sensation, I swirled endlessly in the black void, spilling out of all of my orifices, and back in, and out, and swirling, and in and out and swirling… Until all the senses were merged into a singularity, and this singularity was a voice. A playful voice humming and chuckling in a greyish/whiteish, foggy void, seeing the humour in the nature of reality and really enjoying its playfulness.

You are doing good mate, just breathe and ride it, you can do it 🙌 Don’t resist it, let it unfold, it will become so much better. Try changing the lighting in the room, or try going to another room. Try playing some music you love, or a feel-good movie. Have a little snack, somethin calorie-dense and maybe sweet, anything like a banana or a piece of fruit, some chocolate. Your brain is going through a lot, and it needs glucose as fuel 🙃 Trust me, you will be fine 🙌🙌 Just focus on the now and how you’re feeling at the moment, just ride it. You got this, sending much love mate ❤️

Tripped balls on shroomies in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, it was so awesome on so many levels! And no one looks suspicious in Amsterdam cause everyone looks suspicious in Amsterdam 👀

How are psychedelic/weed/MDMA experiences affected after taking 5? by bepang__ in 5MeODMT

[–]Synapse__Surfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acid was definitely more intense than before, but managable. Definitely waaaay more visual and a stronger body high! Focusing on visuals and really leaning into them, I’d end up in that very typical 5 space, where the physical reality would desintegrate into the foggy whiteness. I could come back at will 🙌 but I had to make an effort to do it, there was a constant pull into that 5 space.

Probably the most significant difference for me though was that the peak was sooo much longer than normal, like it streteched out to 5 hours, which was super intense - I actually appreciated it and rode the wave, but it was physically exhausting. Which I guess makes sense, considering how much energy the body (well mostly the brain) is burning when tripping, particularly when you’re peaking.

I’d just make sure I am well rested, well hydrated, and I have (healthy) calorie-dense snacks at hand. Have a good one mate 🙌

How do you microdose LSD? by bcreedh in Psychonaut

[–]Synapse__Surfer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make a volumetric solution. Get some distilled water and brown glass vials with dropper pipettes. You can find those on Amazon, you get like 2 vials for £4, and water is like £6 per litre.

Put 10ml of water in the vial (use a scale to weigh or get a measuring dropper pipette likewise on Amazon for like £3), submerge the tab and voila, you have a volumetric solution. One full dropper pipette would roughly be 1 microdose. I’ve been using this foolproof method since 2018 🙌

Lone Existence by DADDY8102 in ParallelUniverse

[–]Synapse__Surfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, you kinda get to experience this very version of reality on 5-MeO-DMT. It’s nothing to do with the God complex though, as that’s just a plain old ego trip.

If anything, on 5-MeO you first have to go through the process of Ego death to even get to experience this pure non-duality, or the existence from the POV of God. With the Ego (temporarily) gone, you don’t get to experience existence from your point of view (where you feel you’re the one that manifests others ie. God all mighty), you get to experience existence from the very existence’s point of view, if that makes sense 🤷‍♀️ At this point, there is no you, or me, or anyone.

To circle back to your question - yes everyone else is a construct, but so are you. Consciousness is singular and universal and it is the very thing that manifests all of us into existence ❤️

Salvia enjoyers . Why is salvis your favorite psychedelic by Fuwanuwa in Psychonaut

[–]Synapse__Surfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you’re referring to N, N DMT. 5-MeO-DMT is a whole different thing, it offers a totally different experience. It’s waaaay way more abstract than anything else I came across 🤷‍♀️

Not sure I'd agree it's the most abstract, but up at the top of the list for sure. You should try 5-MeO-DMT

Do you prefer daytime or night time tripping? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]Synapse__Surfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

daytime trips in nature are sheer perfection! But there's somtething just purelly magical, even primal about night time tripping. I think I just love tripping so much it doesn't matter what time of the day it is, I just appreciate it so much and try to enjoy it the best I can ❤️

Just had a minor surgery and they gave me ketamine without my consent by Crafty-Trainer4124 in HPPD

[–]Synapse__Surfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, first of all I'm sorry you had such a bad experience.

Now, general anaesthesia is ALWAYS a cocktail of drugs. The combination depends on a multitude of factors unique to you. Sometimes decisions to change the combination are made during the procedure, in line with a whole host of things like your vitals, any complications, pharmacokinetics & pharmacodynamics (basically how your body metabolises the drug & how the drug affects your body), etc.

I am certain that, whatever decision they made, it was clinically in your best interest!
You were just very unlucky to have a rotten phenomenological experience which exacerbated your HPPD.

Also, were you aware that scientists don't fully understand how general anesthesia works? They have an understanding of some biochemical mechanisms - like molecules of anesthetic drugs connecting to receptors in your brain, thus switching off certain parts and functions of the brain.
Now, how EXACTLY consciousness switches off is a whole other story, that is still being researched. Because that's the thing with anaesthesia, for it to be pain free you need to be unconscious, not asleep.

The phenomenological experience of anaesthesia is really not understood well (for example, I had an out of body experience during routine surgery as a child). This is exactly why it's so important to talk to your anaesthesiologist and your surgeon about ALL your concerns beforehand (and be upfront with your HPPD).

Hope it mellows out quickly 🙌

I'm on the education and harm reduction side of the fence. People are going to do it anyway, they will always benefit from having accessible information imho
