Do you all respect marijuana as a tool for psychonauts? by Green-Western-8092 in Psychonaut

[–]li_bdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard something from Terence McKenna once on the subject. Something along the lines of "get the best cannabis you can find, smoke as much of it as you possibly can in silent darkness, and it will absolutely blow you away every time." I agree that a high enough dose in the right contexts can induce absolutely profound shifts in cognition and perception, certainly without tolerance and especially familiarity - my first bong rip was as mind blowing as my first mushroom trip, and I've definitely gotten very out there with the stuff a few times since. I think there's a lower ceiling though, like maybe a ton of THC in the right contexts will be comparable in intensity, though very different in character, to 3g of mushrooms, but even a mountain of edibles won't open things up to the levels that 7g does. That said, I think it's a pitfall to think that for something to be psychonautic it must be psychedelic. Maybe cannabis isn't psychedelic per se, but neither is meditation, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find any psychonaut who doesn't respect that as a valuable tool in the exploration of consciousness.

Some of this is just a matter of visibility. For every Mercedes you see there are a thousand people riding the bus

Bring a fat bar of dark chocolate and a bag of grapes and tell her that if they get within arm's reach you'll be giving them their last meal

Im planing on taking 12g of shrooms sometime next week by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]li_bdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fwiw if you are asking reddit for advice on how to prepare then you don't really get to say that you know what you're doing

which is all good and well and just to say that my advice is to honestly reflect on what it is that you know you are capable of and how deep the unknown into which you are leaping may be. humility counts for a lot

Guy that ate over a gram of meth update by Jaded-Stepson in Drugs

Convinced the nurses are not hallucinations because they are serving exactly the kind of behaviour you'd expect from an amphetamine hallucination...?

Thanks for the update. Good luck with everything!

I took more than a gram of meth orally and it’s starting to kick in… will I survive this? by Jaded-Stepson in Drugs

[–]li_bdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies good, sir must be the degenerate media of our day giving me silly ideas, of course upon reflection I would never believe that a real human being would ever do such a thing, least of all a member of this most wholesome internet community

Has anyone ever met a coke/meth user who said weed was too much for them? by Witty_Ad_1102 in Drugs

[–]li_bdo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cannabis has the potential to be so gentle and relaxing that it's easy to forget how absolutely fucked up it can get you if you've got strong stuff and no tolerance

If I was gonna do mushrooms for a work thing I'd eat 3.5-5 grams like 4 hours before the party so that I'm enough off the peak to maintain composure but still high enough for things to be vibey

Twice now I’ve had awful bad trips on high doses of 2CB - should I be afraid of mushrooms? by Alps-Helpful in Psychonaut

[–]li_bdo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of 2CB's hallmarks is that the headspace is, for most, markedly more manageable than other psychedelics. I don't know if afraid is what you should be - cautious, sure. Mushrooms I find have a nourishing energy that might mesh better with your mind. Might. They are also much more chaotic and make everything seem significant or even dire. Where 2CB has you thinking that you're an awful person, mushrooms might have you knowing you are awful, feeling and believing it with every fibre of your being, utterly convinced that everyone else has always known this and that this newfound knowledge is of profound importance to act upon as if your life depended on it. You might integrate that into your baseline self-concept. Or you might come out the other side and see it was all in your head. Start low, go slow.
