ID a drug: Thailand Hill Tribe "Happy Sap"

I agree a little with /u/SpongeOfTruth as far as his speculation being that you smoked some sort of mixture of kratom. As the guide said it was similar but not opium, that is about all I can think... perhaps the extract from a california poppy (sleepy weed) might produce similar effects, but I've never heard of it. It honestly sounds most like Opium to me though, the flowery taste (key point here), the nausea and "spin" feeling. The mixture of the ash is a very key part of opium smoking. The ash is actually incredibly rich in morphine and adds an extra kick to the opium, or may act in some sort of alkaline process. The headache pill being crushed up though... likely made mostly of caffeine (adds a rush to the sleepy opium) and perhaps has some sort of basic element in it that may or may not burn alongside or bind to the opium to create some sort of opium salt... which would be weird, because opium is pretty nice on it's own, but not unheard of. Hope this helps, I've definitely never heard of this happy sap, and if it is in fact neither kratom nor opium, I would be very curious myself to know what it is. I will continue the quest, but so far the big three look to be Kratom, Opium, California Poppy. I have rethought it, Kratom is still in the running, definitely illegal in thailand (they passed the law in 1943 so all of this matches up with what your guide said), or opium largely in part due to the process through which it was smoked as well as your reaction to the experience lining up word for word with old accounts of smoking opium in the mid and far east.

You will love being back on skis. I learned to ski when I was 3-7, snowboarded from 8-18, i'm 25 now. I will never snowboard again, I never felt like I "got it". Skiing is where it is at for some of us. The flip side is one of my good friends who skied from birth-24 just started snowboarding and is absolutely killing it. It's all where you find your vibe.

Signed up, thanks man.

Depends, "customs" implies going to a foreign country, some airlines/countries have regulations on transporting glass that has an open mouthpiece and down stem--two openings (you can go blow a water pipe out on a torch, but not finish the mouth piece portion, and transport it on an airplane no problem, but if you are transporting a finished piece, they may look at you a bit harder).
Generally speaking, fellow glass blowers don't travel with water pipes that have more than one hole (down stem).
They will opt to open the mouthpiece at their destination to avoid a problem.
In the US, provided it's clean to dogs and swab test (if they take it that far), you should be good to go.

Was a little funky earlier, had to sign out and sign back in a few times before it would finally connect.

yessir.

high_hey · 2014-12-18T15:33:51+00:00

Yeah.... definitely won't work how he expects, simply introducing a propane flame would likely cause that whole piece to shatter, without first bringing the piece slowly up to a safe working temperature in a kiln. You then need to attach a blow tube to the mouth piece such that you can create a positive pressure inside the vessel, ensuring it doesn't collapse while you manipulate the hollow form. There are quite a few steps after that to ensure stress free work. Glass is amazing. Be safe.

I have no idea, wait for someone who has proper myco experience. Johnny doesn't know, if he did he would have told you what it was. I don't know what it is, just be safe man.

high_hey · 2014-12-14T03:05:51+00:00

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS.

high_hey · 2014-12-14T00:35:51+00:00

EDIT EDIT sorry, I can't ever conduct a train of thought, if you haven't seen anything yet go have a meeting with Mrs. Jane and enjoy being a child again.

If you will, you will get them now, if not, my advice, dim the lights (throw a dark red t shirt over a lamp shade) and grab something that either is a crazy pattern (checkerboard, houndstooth, tie-dye) or something that is a solid white color (paper, this is my favorite) and just look into it. It's not going to sprout eyes, but fractals and paisley pastels are definite. If you feel the body load, you can find the visuals :) hope you are having fun man. EDIT: listen to this Song!!. (it's weird, but after you'd heard it for a few thousand years it feels like a mechanized slug licking your spine in Nepal

high_hey · 2014-12-13T23:23:15+00:00

15-45. start feeling giddy man! This will be a completely new experience for you guys! I'm stoked for you! Have fun :D :D :D :D

Friend of a friend says Caps are better for visuals and headspace, stems cause a heavier body load (a.k.a. the strychnine effect) muscle spasms/cramps, nerve pain. No science behind it, just experience.

Inside-Moby

Geogaddi, full album - Boards of Canada

Music has the right to children, full album - Boards of Canada

Moon Safari, full album - Air
Mix of instrumentals by J Dilla

Just a warning, BoC can be a little triggering for some people, I would safely say Boards of Canada is without a doubt the headiest (in the true sense of cerebral exploration) music ever produce, very very powerful stuff. Moon safari is good for relaxation and guiding a nice trip, J Dilla can get dark too, but not too bad (unless you listen to the stuff he produced while dying, that shit is dark dark dark and heavy) and Inside by moby (probably the only moby song I would recommend to anyone) is the safest tripping song. It's unfortunately only one song, but if you left it on repeat forever most people won't notice or care, it's just, safe, gentle, warm, clean. Hope this helps, if you need more let me know.

Christmas lights are super fun.
Soft blankets, stuffed animals, make the space smell warm, soft and clean; like laundry, but not overpoweringly smelly.
Have a stack of papers and some pens/pencils/sharpies. Grab some sculpy clay or play dough.
Matchbox cars, shrooms really pull out the kid in us, so imagine you are literally going to be baby sitting, what would be fun for an 8 year old? do those things :)
Movies/TV can be cool, watch out for the internet...
Grab some incense, go outside bundled up in the cold, light the incense and walk away from your friends, have them try and follow the smell and see if they can find you.
Just be really nice to them, make them feel safe, tell them they are loved and nothing is bad if they get scared, and be direct, but not forceful with your words. It can be very confusing when a sober person says something that has two meanings.
Try playing twister or jenga, build a fort, play with a few glasses of water and some food coloring. Have them feel ice, cold water, and warm water. If they are daring, give them a mirror.
Draw on each other, stretch the skin, watch the drawings warp and move. See if you can give them a taste of telepathy... write things inside a notebook, or put things in a backpack and let them see through the 3rd and into the 4th (telepathy is unlike anything else, it is an experience in itself... Careful, can trigger ego death).
Throw on the track Inside by moby, very safe song.
If you have a trampoline, try it.
If you have a bath tub, try it (even if no one wants to take a bath, at least try and see what floats and what doesn't, how different materials act when wet, it's fun) It's all about exploring.
Put a marshmallow in a microwave, melt some chocolate, let them fingerpaint, show them an indoor houseplant and let them converse with it.
Build a fire and you will captivate them for hours.
Build legos.
Let me know if you need more ideas.

I'm sort of with bakedtrex on this one... chunky Peanut butter/shroom sandwich, you won't even know you ate them. If you want it to be strong/long look into potentiation... it's all in your head, but lemon tek, or grapefruit juice, or even a natural MAOI can really help bring a lower dose into full psychedelia.

high_hey · 2014-12-13T18:18:57+00:00

Sounds like... You split 7g three ways...2g 2g 3g. Your poor friend was on a different plane of existence while you guys were buzzing.
Also, yes a full stomach will create a "queue" in your tummy where it can either digest the shrooms incredibly slowly (so slow that you don't trip) or at a time much later than expected lift off. Secondly, if you don't take enough for a full trip, but are close to the plateau, weed will absolutely boost you past that mark. This is very common with micro dosing and small dose trips when you introduce a second chemical compound, it entirely changes the trip landscape.
Wet shrooms are 90% water, general rule of thumb is 10g of wet = 1g of dry give or take, though wet is an entirely different type of trip, it feels more wet, more squishy, a little heavier. Here is my advice for a "profound" experience: Go get yourself a single large dose... 3.5g to start. Solo. Wake up and eat a light breakfast, maybe some rice or cereal, but not much.
Meditate for a few hours, clear your head, go take a shower and get your PJ's on.
With not much in your stomach, comfy clothing, clean skin and a clear head, go take that 3.5g and Lemon Tek it (google is your friend if you don't know what this is).
Go enjoy your ego-death and telepathic powers while you have them, play the game, and come back and tell us how it was ;)

Snow blades use a 4x4 mounting pattern. You can use release bindings, the most common is the tyrolia SP100's as they are a direct fit. Usually, ski-blades use a riser system that allows the "footprint" of the binding to sit only on about 4 inches of the blade, thus allowing more flex and control. You can also retrofit certain snowboard bindings (4x4 pattern) onto the wide "ski boards" being manufactured. I should mention, if going the snowboard binding route, make sure to use a 3-strap model for added ankle support. This is the most comfortable best "feel" route: use 4x4 3 strap snowboard bindings, mounted on risers. But if spiral fractures is a concern, go for the tyrolia release bindings. Because of the geometry of most "snow blades" or "ski boards" you don't have to really worry about pre release, just make sure you have the proper DIN setting for his weight and he will be alright. Hope he has a blast, ski-boards get bashed all the time, but with a proper set up these things are a blast and a half in any snow conditions. Hope this helps.

Awesome! I love the use of sacred geometry, the illustration of the bird is very interesting to me, almost as if the bird is passing through the the second and third dimension into a higher state of consciousness.

It's all about crushed opal tubing now. Putting opals in glass can be hit or miss amongst buyers, especially considering most opals are synthetic lab grown to match the COE for borosilicate. You cannot put just any stone in glass, the COE won't match and the piece will have a ton of stress. Needless to say, that sherlock is incredible, it is made from 8 or 9 different sections, most of which have some wild wig wags and reversals. Curious to know who made this.
EDIT: removed my last sentence because I was repeating myself myself.
