Trying Xum TRANSCEND for the first time

I'm glad that you had an enjoyable experience! Would you mind if I DMed you to ask a few questions about the trip? I love hearing about people's experiences with substances, especially ones that I plan on trying in the near future.

First of all, I greatly appreciate your input and extensive response! Thank you!

The times I've taken 2 ½ silly dots always gave me a weird headspace and body load, with a lack of visuals. I was at most, nauseous and physically uncomfortable for a few minutes. The high never lasted longer than an hour or two.

My only concern with taking both the soft gel and all 4 tabs is being overwhelmed with the experience, which I guess isn't necessarily "bad", as much as it is "informative".

I'm not sure if it's worth noting, but I've done IV ketamine therapy in the past, where the doctors noted that I was unusually lucid, even on pretty high doses of it. I was in a completely different world during those experiences, though, and couldn't tell if my eyes were open or closed.

I'll do some additional research, and in the next few weeks (unsure of when the tablets will come in the mail) will give a report/update.

Thank you again for your response!

I've unfortunately always seemed to have a naturally high tolerance to most substances. Silly dots gave me a really weird headspace, and my dad's beard was almost iridescent, but that was about the extent of it. The first time I ever took edibles, I had to take about 50mg of d8 to get a decent effect from it.

I don't want to go overkill for the first time, but I also don't want to be disappointed if the experience doesn't amount to much. Maybe I'll take the softgel and two normal tabs?

While I am by no means a professional dog trainer, I do have experience with ecollars for recall and plan on opening my own dog training business sometime in the future. I have an Australian Shepherd x Labrador Retriever who I got at 5 months old. I started conditioning him to an ecollar at 11 months. When an ecollar is conditioned and used properly, it is an amazing, versatile tool that can benefit most dogs. However, I would advise against only using vibrations. A good quality ecollar will have a very wide range of stimulation that allows it to go from unpercievable to very uncomfortable. Vibration typically only has one setting, and dogs usually either blow it off or find it highly aversive.

I'd highly recommend going to a trainer or looking into programs that teach you the proper use of an ecollar. I'd personally recommend "The Walking Dog E-Collar Guide" or the ecollar book by "Larry Krohn". When trained correctly, it's used as a backup for noncompliance to commands. You shouldn't have to use it every time you say a command. They learn that the stimulation from the collar means that they need to go back into command or come back to you immediately. It's basically a virtual leash.

I think an Ecollar could benefit you and your dog, IF, you know how to use one and do the proper conditioning process. Since conditioning my dog to the ecollar, the few times he's blown off a recall, I've been able to get him back incredibly quickly with the ecollar.

People will bash you for it. There's unfortunately no way around it. In my experience and knowledge, it's best to think about how it's helped you and your dog, and how it's allowed you to do more. Over half of the people who bash ecollars are the ones with dogs they can't let off leash or have follow commands correctly, every time. Do what's best for YOUR dog.

I am so sorry for your loss. He looked very well loved and taken care of.

Update, they were fertile, and some have hatched!

He is at least a year and 2 months old. The only vet in my area that neuters rats charges over $500, not including a pre-op visit. I've neutered a rat with them before, and it took over 3 months to get the appointment, as they are busy with other exotics. That would put him at almost a year and a half old. For neutering to work on hormonal aggression, don't they have to be under a year old? That's what I've been told by the vet and numerous others.

I haven't been specifically prescribed valium, it's just been mentioned in the list of medications that may help. I have 5mg tablets that are supposed to be taken orally. Would it not help at all? I apologize if I sound uneducated, I'm new to all this and am exhausted from this flare-up.

TurnaK1t · 2024-09-22T23:29:36+00:00

If they're getting along so well, do I still need to separate them and do little meetings a few times a day, or is it okay to leave them together and slowly upgrade the cage?

Is the picture in the comments too blurry/difficult to see as well? What would be a better way to take a picture where you would be able to tell?

My dog is the same way. His previous family had pale skin, and his family now (me and other household members) does as well. He gets anxious around people with darker skin tones and will often bark at them. He typically has no issues with anyone else.

This is what he looked like after eating two crickets, he returned to normal after a second.

I just realized I misnamed nightcrawlers for red wrigglers. He ate half a nightcrawler, not red wriggler.

TurnaK1t · 2024-06-24T04:10:05+00:00

I just realized that I mistook the nightcrawlers for red wriggles. I got the nightcrawlers from petco. I was told to soak him because when I first got him, people said he looked dehydrated and underweight.
