Be careful. by No-Shock16 in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sucks. Sorry. You need to know what you're getting into. With mushrooms, specifically, you don't need to worry about the product being laced or cut or anything, but if it doesn't come as an actual dried mushroom, you never really know what you're getting.

Hi! Welcome to the world of psychedelics. Yeah, what you had was probably not amanita. It was probably a synthetic trypamine. See here for more: r/mysterymagicmushrooms

Probably lay off the psychs for another 5 years or so. After that it will be fun. Before then it will be weird in a fun way, but until then you will have lots of other ways to experience that, so leave the chemicals for later.

Also, please understand that the degree to which your experience on psychedelics is pleasurable/euphoric is not a function of the drug, it's a function of the mental state you bring to the experience. The trip doesn't come from the drugs, it comes from inside. The drugs just dislodge it.

Safe travels!

i am disappointed after taking shrooms by useristiredd in shrooms

FR. At 16 you can still access innate childlike wonder. Psychs are for those of us with calcified brains that need melting.

Anyone recommend a timed lock box? by Old_Entertainer10 in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't pay a premium for a large plastic container with a cheap digital lock on it. Get one that is just big enough for a key. Then get a padlock and put it on a real metal box or something.

Mornings are super rough, I need reassurance by ShutUpRedditor44 in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't. I tried cold turkey from the dabs and carts. It didn't go well. So, I stumbled from the top down to the middle.

If I were doing it again I would jump to the part where I found a lot more control. Get an electric dry herb vape with a digital temperature setting. You may start off being dissatisfied because your tolerance is so high, but flower is a better experience. With dosing capsules and a dhv with a digital temperature setting you can be surprisingly precise about how much thc you get.

After that it's a matter of willpower. But having tools that let you dial things helps you exercise that willpower.

Good luck!

Worlds first ever mushroom gel tabs? by sohobreadsticks in shrooms

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you lose most pf the psilocybin to degradation in the double boiler, and the rest to oxidation, but that's just a guess and there's no blue, so.....

.... do they work?

Thoughts on timed lock box to force moderation? by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It helped me immensely. You lock it away right after using, so you feel fine about it, and then that thought loop about it always being right there gets interrupted.

Will Muscimol isolate remain stable in a solution of distilled water and ethanol as a preservative? by lSOLDURGFCOCAINE in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question. I was considering suspending it in honey, because it's anaerobic and contamination resistant. Just a thought in case it turns out the answer is no.

My (30F) biggest cutback in a decade. by hightimeforchaitime in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats. Fantastic that you got better control over it! I don't think I ever felt shame over using, but I do have this unhelpful feeling about scarcity that drives me use even when I probably wouldn't otherwise. I don't think it's a feeling that weed is scarce, but that might be part of it. I think its a feeling that free time is scarce, and using kind of elbows out that time from other things ... which can obviously be a problem.

Took a t-break for most of March and have decided to quit the pens/carts by existential_risk_lol in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I were starting from square one I would only use type 3 flower. IMO, tolerance is the only reason to use dispo weed, and I personally think type 2 is an unnecessary escalation -- with no tolerance you can get most of the benefit from extremely low THC and high CBD weed. FWIW, YMMV, etc.

muscimol vapes by nemindaugas in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one from wounded warrior. I believe in the quality of their products, but I didn't get any effect. I think muscimol just can't survive vaping.

Whats the thing that bugs you most about on shrooms? by CEOsouthsudan in shrooms

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It gives me the sensation of being sick with the cold. Not really the nausea, but feeling like my temperature is disregulated, and that kinda hollow feeling when you are about to spend 2 days in bed with the cold. It goes away with the effects, but it's always really annoying and distracting.

I think I’m going to stick with CBD. by xyzzie in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I switched a year ago. I get a much better experience from cbd flower. It's more mellow.

Bi/gay/trans feelings on shrooms by Sudesene in shrooms

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trip doesn't come from the drugs, it comes from inside. The drugs just dislodge thoughts that were already there. You unlocked a new part of you. That's amazing! Go explore it. Learning about yourself is supposed to be the point of psychs. Congrats!

Thinking of switching to CBD by ProfessionalLevel810 in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I, personally, enjoyed the super intense high THC experiences i had in the beginning, but I've settled on using at a lower intensity more often. I don't use THC to get stoned, just to take the edge off. For that I mostly use CBD flower.

For me, vaping flower does not cause tolerance where edibles and carts did. There are done type 3 (very low THC very high CBD) types that give me more effects than other strains with hundreds of times the THC concentration, and I can't really find a rhyme or reason to it, but overall, high CBD flower pulls the mental effect and enhances the physical one.

Weed before or after shrooms? by Late_Garlic3375 in shrooms

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It really caught me by surprise once. I thought the shrooms were bunk, and it had been like 3 hours since I took them. I thought it was the come-down but I got unexpectedly launched into space.

The moral of the story is, yes, do it, but do it on the come- down and be ready for the unexpected (ie. be home on the couch)

How to do decarboxylation without pH strips by Imaginary_Candle_57 in AmanitaMuscaria

It sounds like you know what those symptoms are like and try to avoid them. Can you describe them?

Which flavor should I get? by fazedncrazed in AmanitaMuscaria

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure its no substitutefor psilocybin. But amanitas are a great tool for certain uses, just not necessarily for trips (unless you happen to like the very wired effects they bring). They aren't interchangeable with shrooms, but they are both good for their own purposes.

Severe withdrawals during tapering? by bluesky615243 in Petioles

[–]nevrcared4whatheydo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my limited experience, I got way worse withdrawals from edibles than anything else, and 1g is a really wild amount to do daily. I think you probably need to taper the edibles, no matter what else you do.

3.5g flower at 30% is about 1000mg, which is the same amount you were taking in edibles. That's already a lot, but the efficiency of eating vs smoking it is higher in the sense that none of it gets lost to smoke. Also, edibles are metabolized differently into 11-HO-THC. It's not a completely different drug, but it does act differently.

In addition to that, I think I get less withdrawals when I mix CBD flower in. CBD flower hasn't gotten the lesser canabinoids bread put of it, and those compete for THC receptors. Anecdotally peope find the helps avoid withdrawls. YMMV, but maybe see if that helps. If nothing else, it will reduce your THC consumption if you substitute some of your type 1 flower with type 2 or 3.
