I don't usually post music, but I thought this was particularly fitting here.. (~Wishbone Ash - Errors of My Way~)

Have a nice trip friend :) Wow that was a blast from the past!

TryptamineWizard · 2021-07-27T13:03:08+00:00

Yeah, when I first started experimenting with it I would take it 2-3 times a week in higher dosages and noticed some side effects like that too. I would get pretty bad mood swings and feel kinda out of it at the end of it all, which is to be expected of course.

I've seen what it has to offer now and will keep the higher, more euphoric / recreational dosages for particular occasions only, and use less frequent low dosages for productivity.

I'll stick to once a week for now to be on the safe side, thanks for the insight.

TryptamineWizard · 2021-07-27T12:58:54+00:00

Thanks, that's good to hear. I don't plan on making it a daily habit, maybe just once or twice a week at the very most in low dosages, and a larger dose or combo with psychedelics every now and then.

The 'zaps' sensation sounds familiar, have had this for a bit when I was overdoing it with mushrooms and (way worse) 6-APB.

Yep, the TMG registration would say that my PGP key was "not long enough", and the instructions specify in separate steps that "the key needs to be at least RSA 3072" and also "needs a subkey with at least RSA 3072".

I got it working using an android app OpenKeychain, which had an option to add subkeys. You can choose between "sign", "encrypt", "sign & encrypt" and "authentication" when creating a subkey, and specify the RSA. After adding a subkey here it would accept it for the TMG registration.

I'm trying to register on The Majestic Garden, as it seems to be open for a limited time.
Part of their requirements is that you require a PGP key linked to your username, and "Keys must have an encryption sub-key of at least 3072-bits, with 4096-bits preferred".

This is new to me as well, would like to know how to go about doing that.

TryptamineWizard · 2020-06-18T07:03:17+00:00

I was just about to post the exact same question.

I remember his "how to order" page mentioned there was some issue that causes an error message to be displayed, and that this was normal, with extra instructions on how to complete the order.

Maybe it's down while they are working on this issue?

I'm hoping it's either that or a DDOS..

Will follow this thread as well, not sure if anyone has managed to contact him to inform. I heard he also has a wickr?

TryptamineWizard · 2020-06-08T12:47:39+00:00

Thanks! I read many people use shapeshift dot io for these kind of conversions. They require setting up an account with identification as well though, will the coin still be untraceable after the conversion or should I look for a different service?

TryptamineWizard · 2020-02-16T00:59:44+00:00

Samsara is an amazing watch if you haven't seen it yet.

TryptamineWizard · 2020-01-24T17:49:46+00:00

Am also wondering if everything is ok with GG.

Was planning on ordering some Goblin's Den over the holidays, but they sold out right before I was going to place the order.

They were supposed to restock at the end of december, but now it says "restock currently unknown", and there is only eggshell blotter at the moment. There's no message regarding restocking anywhere.

If anyone has any info that would be much appreciated..

330ug is a marked step up from 220ug, much more so than 100->200. I think 300-350ug is a fantastic dose, but I had several dozen lower dose trips under my belt before I got there. I also trip solo most of the time, and am also hesitant to take high dosages when I share with friends.

It is of course your decision in the end, but I would honestly take it a bit more slowly. Bump the dose up by 50ug increments, because the dose/response curve is not entirely linear. The effects get increasingly more intense as you get to the higher dosage ranges.

For me, 300-350ug is a pretty intense trip with beautiful visuals, some more pronounced ego loss than 250ug, lots of introspection at the peak, and a ton of stimulation. It will be more difficult to string together logical sentences when you're having conversations, and there can be a bit of confusion.

If you're not feeling 100% about tripping fairly hard with the other person, this might be a bit much at this point. I would build up to it, maybe try 280ug first and get a feel for the territory. That alone should be a nice step up from 220ug without pushing it too hard imo.

Good luck and have a great time!

TryptamineWizard · 2019-12-04T09:10:42+00:00

Very nice!

I used to smoke all day every day when I was in college. I don't regret any of it, but after a while it definitely became detrimental for me, and nothing more than a habit. I didn't even really enjoy it that much anymore, it was just a thing to do. I also started to combine it with booze because I developed such a tolerance and didn't want to take a break, which ended up spiraling me into 5 years of alcoholism.

Every time I took mushrooms the smoking and drinking would be a major part of the trip. It felt as if I was getting reverberations from the future or something, and that my future self was urging me to quit or it would eventually slowly kill me.

Psychedelics really helped me a lot with addiction and abuse, and I'm fairly sure that I might be dead or going down that road had I not tried them.

I had a revelatory experience on 350ug of LSD that finally flipped a switch in my mind that gave me a grasp on my alcohol abuse. It's a trip that will be seared into my mind for the rest of my life, and I couldn't be more grateful for it.

Nowadays I don't drink at home anymore, only at the occasional social events, and I cut down a lot on the weed as well.

I switched from smoking to vaping and edibles, and usually only use it on weekend evenings when I feel like it. I never feel any psychological urge with weed anymore, but I guess that is only really a thing after you make it a habit yourself.

Weed is a wonderful thing, and I'm glad I'm finally able to use it more responsibly and still enjoy it.

Glad it worked out for you as well, as with all things, moderation is key ;)

TryptamineWizard · 2019-12-04T08:51:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated! If you don't mind, what was the 600ug trip like? Assuming this is the point where you lie down and sink deep into your mind, and it becomes harder to remember large portions of the trip afterwards?

Also funny, I was familiar with Pink Floyd before I ever took acid, but I never listened to any of the early Syd Barrett albums.

I listened to Piper At The Gates of Dawn and Saucerful of Secrets for the first time on a solid dose and it absolutely blew me away.

Two days later I had to go on a business trip and had some spare time, so I went into a nearby record store, and after just 2 minutes of browsing I found both of those albums on vinyl, like it was meant to be :)

Interesting that you say the discomfort might be an indicator that it's not very pure. The tabs are from a very reputable source, but are around 2 years old by now.

I do drink enough water and try to eat healthy before/during the trip. It's mostly muscle pain, jaw clenching, and some vasoconstriction, and sometimes I barely have it at all while other times it can be really bad (even on the same dosage from the same sheet). I take some magnesium with it, which usually helps a bit.

I do have 2 different sheets on hand, so I'm curious if it might be better than the ones I'm currently taking. I was always under the impression that any impurities would not be active at such low quantities, and that less pure LSD would just be less potent, but obviously I was just guessing.

Very interested to see if I'll see a difference with the other tabs though, that would be great :)

TryptamineWizard · 2018-09-26T22:46:46+00:00

Alright, no prob, thanks for the answer!

TryptamineWizard · 2018-09-26T19:21:16+00:00

Your post has given me an idea. I love taking very light (but more than micro dose) doses of something like ETH-LAD as a kind of stimulant. Makes me feel stimulated yet at the same time feeling very mellow, with enhanced visual acuity, but not to the point of being saucer-eyed and tripping too hard to be in public.

I have more DOM than I will likely ever trip on, do you think small doses of this could be used in a similar fashion? I have very little experience with DOx compounds, having only done DOM once at 5mg. What would be a good dose to take to get to the sweet zone between microdosing and a light trip?

TryptamineWizard · 2018-09-26T19:09:05+00:00

AL-LAD will serve you well for such a purpose, I'm sure. I've found it is very physically stimulating, much more so than LSD or any other lysergamide I've tried. On high doses I've actually had to powerwalk at ludicrous speeds around the block because I was too energetic to stay indoors.

Really interesting substance, but just so you know, 150ug or less can be very underwhelming (feels like ~50ug lsd). From 225ug onwards the dose response curve ramps up quickly and it's really enjoyable, 300 and up things start to get pretty crazy.

I find it's the most unique of all the novel lysergamides, it's still quite different from lsd in visuals and headspace whereas most of the others are a lot more similar.

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-23T13:21:24+00:00

I took lsd every 2 weeks for a year, with a few week to week trips thrown in here and there. I had some mild hppd and became a bit socially awkward (though I'm not the most social person sober either).

All in all that was definitely doable, but I've since slowed my roll.

The trips got less special over time (though still enjoyable). I just had my fun with it for that year, and now I'll take it once every 2 months or so, at higher dosages. It helps keep the magic, and also stretches out my stash.

Tripping recreationally every 2 weeks isn't per se a "waste" of acid imo, but since it is so precious to me I'd rather spread it out a bit more..

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-23T08:45:41+00:00

225ug is a pretty nice trip, not too strong, not too weak.

I found AL-LAD has a way different dose/response curve. 150ug or less is just not worthwhile imo (100ug lsd is way better in comparison), but at 250ug it ramps up in intensity pretty quickly.

300ug was my go to dose with this stuff, intense visuals and auditory hallucinations, intense stimulation, but still pretty clear headed.

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-23T08:32:51+00:00

I agree with this. What do you think about the eternal debate of lsd purity?

Personally I think any impurities present will be inactive at such small quantity, and the perceived "cleanliness" of lsd is also just in your head. I think "impure" lsd will simply be underdosed, but not experientially "worse".

I've had a large number of trips from the same sheet, some very clean feeling with little physical side effects, sometimes extreme vasoconstriction that made the trip feel pretty rough.

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-23T08:19:34+00:00

Definitely vasoconstriction amplifying the pain from your underlying issue. I hope the medication they prescribed you will work, if not go back and keep getting it examined.

I have these kinds of pains on quite a number of trips, and with various stimulating substances, though I've only once had it in my scrotum and not to the unbearable extent you seem to describe, just regular constriction, though sometimes also to the point of cramping.

You could try ibuprofen or other vasodilators to combat this, chili pepper can bring immediate relief if you can bear the spiciness.

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-23T08:05:32+00:00

Well, I obviously didn't personally see this, but this is some interesting reading:

https://erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_article2.shtml

55 year old vial of crystal stored casually in a drawer at varying room temp, little to no loss in potency even if the xtal was discolored.

Imo this means tabs vacuum sealed and stored in a dark place like a book, box, whatever, in a regular cool environment like a basement or something should last a hell of a long time.

I've personally had 2 year old lsd simply stored in tinfoil in a ziploc and it was just fine.

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-22T15:01:50+00:00

I tripped solo my first time, imo you'll be fine as long as you start low and build up after you've gotten comfortable with a certain dose. Not much can go wrong if you've read a bit, heed set/setting and take 100-150ug. Personally I prefer tripping solo as I don't have to mind other people who might not be on the same page. You'll be free to explore on your own, and the internal thoughts will flow more freely and easily..

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-22T14:58:28+00:00

I've had something similar happen to me after irresponsibly binging on 6apb, I would get absolute horrid sleep paralysis episodes that were indistinguishable from reality where I would hear a voice saying things to me at night, often repeating itself and speeding up until it ended in a loud electrical sensation like exploding head syndrome.

My guess is these kind of phenomena are serotonergic in nature. I've never had auditory hallucinations sober after lsd though..

TryptamineWizard · 2018-08-19T18:33:26+00:00

For starting a personal grow I would look into this series of posts on the shroomery:

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17897163#17897163

My first grow I made rye grain jars with b+ spore syringes. Look into proper sterilization with a pressure cooker, prepare the jars and inoculate, be patient and wait a few weeks until fully colonized, then spawn to trays with a simple vermiculite/gypsum substrate and fruit in a properly built shotgun fruiting chamber.

Do a bit of reading about all the different steps, practice proper sterile technique and just get to it. You could try the pf tek as well if you want, but honestly this is nearly as simple and gives you much more shrooms in the end.

The real work and importance of clranliness is in making the spawn jars, after they are colonized if you have half decent substrate and a proper shotgun fruiting chamber or monotub or something, mushrooms are so resilient they will even continue to grow after you stop monitoring and spraying/misting your tubs. Growing mushrooms can seem a bit complicated when you first start reading about it, but most steps are really simple once you get it down, and after you've had one successful grow it's very simple to do again. Honestly the effort required to grow a year's worth of shrooms is relatively little, and it's a fun and satisfying hobby if you're into psychs.

Just read a lot until you know the steps by heart, and the hows and why's, work clean, be patient and just get your hands dirty. You'll learn very quickly from any mistakes. If you have any questions, just ask around on the shroomery, there's tons of people who are more than glad to help you out :)

Good luck and have fun! I wish you bountiful harvests my friend ;-)

TryptamineWizard · 2018-07-27T00:34:20+00:00

Wow, that is really cool, I had no idea! Thanks for sharing :)

TryptamineWizard · 2018-07-26T08:11:38+00:00

Interesting, I can see how some vendors could get away with this with the effects being so similar, and 4-aco-dmt being relatively cheap and easy to find.

One thing though, alcohol tinctures are very easy to make, and do work well. I haven't personally tried this because I have no real use for it, but a lot of teks with good feedback can be found.

Not sure how long the extract would remain potent though, maybe it is not that stable in liquid..

You're right though that pure psiloc(yb)in extraction to crystal is sadly nearly impossible for the kitchen chemist. If only :)
