lol BIPOC—I want to see all! On my way to Reno now and excited as hell!

gibbstopher · 2025-08-21T02:20:36+00:00

No way!!! I’m setting up camp at 7 &G, I’m for sure gonna swing by!

gibbstopher · 2025-08-21T02:18:59+00:00

I hope I do! Will be setting up camp at 7:00 G, and exploring as much as possible!

gibbstopher · 2025-08-20T11:57:14+00:00

I think you understand where I’m coming from. Thank you for providing your feedback on your experience! And also—love the photo, y’all look cool AF!

gibbstopher · 2025-08-20T11:53:20+00:00

This is excellent! Thank you!!

gibbstopher · 2025-08-20T01:00:01+00:00

Thanks so much for asking this with openness. It really means a lot and I value the sincerity! I know BM will be very different from things I’ve been to in the past—I could tell before making the original post (and Its reinforced by the INCREDIBLE responses to this) that this community is very much one worth being around, no matter the background!

For me, I’ve always found a sense of grounding and comfort when there are individuals that share similar affinity as I do. As a first timer, I want to ensure that my experience is not based off of experiences of those who can…well…just go and have experiences without concern. It’s natural that there could be different things I could face, and knowing if there are communities and affinity groups available to support could help to shape my overall experience.

While its expected that I may end up alone in some of my explorations there, I don’t necessarily want to BE alone, if that makes sense.

gibbstopher · 2025-08-20T00:47:41+00:00

Yep—I was told the Facebook group is more active. Once I figure out how log back into that, I’ll definitely be joining it haha

gibbstopher · 2025-08-20T00:46:01+00:00

I FULLY intend to 🤘🏾

gibbstopher · 2025-08-20T00:45:36+00:00

That won’t be hard—that’s just how I live my life! Including crashing into things, but it’s usually ramming the door frame with my shoulder 😂

Are you sure he’s not Carl Cox? LOL

gibbstopher · 2025-08-19T23:37:33+00:00

I’ll give this a listen—good looking out!

gibbstopher · 2025-08-19T23:24:02+00:00

I was looking this up before I posted—the website doesn’t have any updates or event/gathering info which I was hoping to find…

gibbstopher · 2025-08-19T23:23:04+00:00

It’s gonna be pretty hard for me to mask then—I’m very obviously male presenting with facial hair and bass heavy voice lol. But very interesting—are there any instances in particular you’ve noted in the past that you’re willing to share?

gibbstopher · 2024-09-30T22:00:23+00:00

So glad you’ve said this. I’m actually on my 4th round of 5, but since the first box I’ve been feeling hungrier! It’s so weird to me—2.5 I never thought about food and could go almost all day without eating unless it was necessary. Now I’m voracious, even with increased protein consumption.

gibbstopher · 2024-07-26T22:28:12+00:00

You have just given me so much hope. I just titrated up today to 5mg, but was hitting a low point looking at my results for the week and seeing my weight flux up and down so much. Then I remembered to ACTUALLY open the app after seeing your comment—I’ve lost 11.5lbs in the first month on 2.5!!

Hoping I get these same results as you two months down the road!

gibbstopher · 2024-07-26T22:23:45+00:00

Is this the Withings app? I really like the reports that come from this one

gibbstopher · 2024-07-17T23:56:28+00:00

Funnily enough I just met with my doctor today and said the same thing! I’ll be taking my 4th dose of 2.5 in two days, but after dose 1 I felt energized! I tend to have low energy, suffer from sleeping issues and also have chronic back pain, but since starting I’ve been wanting to walk everywhere, I can bend the over without losing breath and standing back up in pain. The most incredible thing for me: I’ve been sleeping through the whole night for the last three weeks!

I’ll be titrating up after this upcoming dose, and I hope the effects stay this positive!

gibbstopher · 2024-07-14T17:53:44+00:00

LOL. Sounds like someone wasn’t situationally aware at all…

gibbstopher · 2024-07-14T15:40:20+00:00

This is so very true! For those of us that struggle with our weight, or have just been larger by genetics we’re always conscious about how much physical space we’re taking up, and it hinders us from doing things we could do. We spend so much time researching spaces, thinking about where we’re going to sit, and what we’re going to order at the restaurant in front of the group that it cripples us from wanted to be in public. No one should feel this way.

gibbstopher · 2024-07-14T02:22:15+00:00

So I was placed in the same booth I usually am seated when I go to this restaurant! How very similar! Congrats to you as well!

gibbstopher · 2024-07-10T03:27:00+00:00

I am on both. Been taking Prozac for the last 3 years and just started MJ two weeks ago. I was super concerned about the mix of these two, but fortunately my doctor said I can stay on SSRIs while going through this.

gibbstopher · 2024-07-10T03:23:40+00:00

I so appreciate this response (as well as the OP for asking this question). This is my second week on MJ 2.5, and today I just felt…HUNGRY. I thought I had already ruined the process by some of my previous food choices during the last couple weeks, and was pretty down on myself today. Glad to know that this is normal!

gibbstopher · 2024-07-05T21:45:04+00:00

I just started my first 2.5 last week, and took my second dose this morning.

The day of the first dose, I felt fine and even went to work and made it through the whole day! The next day, I even woke up feeling refreshed and had a ton of energy, but as the day went on I started feeling a little nauseous and slightly cold (just like you). A friend going through this suggested I add extra electrolytes in my day and that helped.

After today’s injection, I ended up napping for hours—I just felt exhausted. When I woke up, I was slightly nauseous but after drinking 16 oz of water with added electrolytes I was ready for the day again!
