I think we need a place to talk about other medicines on this forum. I microdose psilocybin mushrooms every week. I will smoke salvia properly and only when I need to. Same thing with larger doses of mushrooms. The last time I had a psychedelic experience was the remembrance day before last. I had taken 10 what i thought to be weak hawiian baby woodrose seeds after trying 5 with no results. I didnt follow many of my rules eitherXD so here my story.
I took 10 seeds that have been defatted and put into a gel cap before I went to work. Thinking they would have no effect I thought it would be no problem driving an hour out of town for work. My mistake. Anyways i got 10 mins from town when the nausea started and I almost puked in my truck. Every ten minutes down the road id have to pull over and try throwing up with nothing comming out. A little bit down from work the nausea stopped. Then the road started waving. A lot. I thought to myself “its a straight road, keep going straight”. Thankfully work was right up the road. So I got in and I parked my truck, made my way into the shack and called work to sign in. Then I was free. No one would show up today. I went outside lid on the stairs of the deck with a huge smile on my face and listened to the wind blowing and feeling the cold wind surround me. I relaxed for a while before I got too cold and went inside and did the same. I lay on the floor watching the beautiful colors of everything morph and wave and distort like crazy. I have soo much going through my mind. Everything you could think of, but I couldnt hold onto any thoughts. They would just come and go and I would lay there and watch the images of the thoughts in my mind flowing. Meditation on psychedelics is beautiful. Then I hear a what I thought was a customer show up. When I see my work symbol on the truck. Oh shit, its my boss and her assistant XD They come into my shack and ask why im laying on the floor so I explain to them how I ate something that was bad and now im really sick. So they ask if I need to go to the doctor. “no no ill be fine” I say, then they proceed to leave me to my “sickness”. After they left I remained on the floor enjoying the experience. These seeds are very enjoyable if you can deal with the tummy ache. After the peak stopped and it started slowing down I noticed how slow time was going. its only been 3 hours. HOLY SHIT. 3hours?! thats all?! It felt like the whole day had went by. But in fact I got up right at half day to do my call in. After this it was slower. I went out to my truck and took a few hoots from my pipe and ended up staring at the fabric on the ceiling of my truck for a half an hour but felt like 10XD when i went back inside the cannabis inspired me to write. ( like right nowXD ) So i started writing down my journey so i can put it in my journal when i got home. I was very fascinated by writing, like it was the coolest thing i have ever seen. The seeds slowly wore off and by the 6 hour mark i only felt the after glow which lasted several days. Over those days i read my journey notes and i integrated my experience. I love these seeds and the spirit they hold. i would recommend them to anyone that is interested in psychedelics:)
I have more good stories in my journal ill be sure to post here!!
id love to hear about some of your own experiences, what you have tried, and how psychedelics have effected your life.
It’s only been a marginal experience for me, in days when i still couldn’t be too specific about how “booze” differed from the rest exactly. Nonetheless i can at least comment that my “incidental” consumption of LSD actually proved useful if not necessary: it allowed me to acquire/develop some ability to manage with the moment, by embracing it instead of giving up to anxiogenic fear… On the bright side it didn’t even seem to invite “addictive” behaviour, LSD left me with a durable impression of replenishment, as if my “recreative” apprehensions were reset to zero and hence my thirst/appetite finally satisfied. That was as if i went to a gym for mind training, it made me sweat but happy. So, in retrospective it was an “incidental” habit which vanished painlessly, eventually. This is a part of my past i value as a powerful rite of passage which is a natural right i wouldn’t be able to deny others today, thinking that’s just no “poison” calling for bigot prohibitionist traumatic intervention à la Narconon/Straight Inc./“Fix-my-Kid”, etc…
In other words, in view of today’s socio-toxic environment i think i was relatively lucky. If i compare with smoked cannabis that later scenario often resulted in what i call an "unresolved obsession, because the more i aimed for my ultimate toke the less i succeeded, of course - not to mention my consumption method was quite wrong, as i finally realized it vilified the noble molecules and such game-changing revelation didn’t occur to me one year too soon!
By chance i learned to regain some of the lost freedom after a seriously-involving reflexion on vaporizer concepts, while all smoking is now definitely over. That’s why the need for more precise dosage gives way to resonant echoes here as well, it’s part of the subtilities i learned to appreciate late in my life. Better late than never…
There was a short period when i totally abstained and Saliva Divinorum would still be on display in specialized stores. It was made illegal before i got my 1st vape, as i recall, which didn’t stop me from choosing the HerbalAire with balloons in mind, because i expected this opened the door to more acurate dosage. Too bad this didn’t verify, for too reasons: 1) lack of heat; 2) the “locomotive effect”. The later being about an almost irresistible temptation to empty each balloon after some long minutes of anticipation… That was years ago, since then i’ve been able to adapt a set of VaporGenie pipes to suit my own cannabic needs and hence the rest went down on my “to-do” list: i’m not getting younger, the moment for stronger entheogenics may have passed for me so i’m satisfied my new vaporist habit could fill part of that old gap. Also “ritual” re-oriented my expectations and objectives significantly: the “buzz” is no longer Paramount and an eventual “ultimate” toke much less if it’s not focussed on aroma/taste!
…
In any case, if i were to evaluate Salvia as i once planned then i suppose this would require some more work on micro-dosage than i’ve already achieved (through my “Lava” concept which integrates thermostatically-limited (e.g. “packetized”) Heat Charge injection as a function of mass), etc., etc.
I used to be an Acid freak, 10-12 hits of Orange Sunshine,…no problem. I am still amazed that I have a brain left lol Mescaline, I AM THERE!!! Peyote, I want to grow my own lol. Any type of mushroom, please stay away as I am not responsible for my actions, I just totally get lost and can be dangerous. Always wondered on the difference. Could I maybe be allergic to mushrooms?
I make and consume Ayahuasca and Mescaline/Peyote/Huachuma for religious purposes. I have done acid, but it’s always 50/50 good trip/flashback, so I don’t touch it anymore.
I’ve never had a good mushroom experience either!!
Last time was about 6 years ago and I almost assaulted my cousin for wanting to go into a club that I was terrified of… What a bad night.
Acid on the other hand, yeah, pass the vile. Or blotter, if that’s all there was.
Last time I did mushrooms I had just about finished building my Irish double hand sword and my son walked into the room just after I was finishing testing my new blade on a kithcen chair lol Chair was rubble and my son was very polite lmao
I have dabbled in psychedelics most of my life.I have taken mushrooms many times over the years and will continue to. The introspection helps keep me honest even when it is difficult. Salvia is a serious undertaking in my opinion. She is one of the fastest and jarring trips. I only take it when i have a sitter, because i have walked around while tripping several times. DMT is one of my favorites. I find i can take one hit and be comfortable or stack hits to do some real traveling. Acid is great but the trip is getting a bit long as i get older, but she still has her place. I have tried LSA a few times but would rather have high dose edibles.(cannabis) I have never tripped on Mescaline but never say never. MDMA is fun but i hate the come down and it takes to long to recover from. I enjoy playing with the elves, maybe one day we can learn from them.
I’ve taken mushrooms several times and acid once. These substances just don’t agree with me for some reason. My trips are always really rough, I’ve never had what you’d call a “good trip” before. I know now how important set and setting can be when you’re tripping, but didn’t really think about that sort of thing back when I was younger. I can’t say I’ll never trip again, but I most likely will stay away from psychedelics. Never say never though, right?

In 1967, a landmark symposium entitled Ethnopharmacologic Search for Psychoactive Drugs was held in San Francisco, California. It was the first international, interdisciplinary group of specialists – from ethnobotanists to neuroscientists – who gathered in one place to share their findings on the use of psychoactive plants in indigenous societies. Follow-up meetings were intended to be held every ten years, but the War on Drugs intervened.
On the 50th anniversary, an international group of specialists will gather again to share their perspectives on past, present, and future research in ethnopharmacology.
ESPD50 is being organized by a team led by Dennis McKenna, Founder of Symbio Life Sciences, PBC.
I love shrooms they put my head back together4 as it should be I wish I had some spores or even a spore print although prints are a bitch … but I be brokeass so … but hells yeah shrooms are the shit and recently I read where they have been determined to be the least toxic of all “drugs” even pot…
mushrooms have been great to me. I have yet to really push my limits tho.
Anyone grown mushrooms in a shared space with bud?
Is it possible? And as for spores, who is reliable for delivering?
it can be done easy. but whats even cooler is notill. you know nature right? mushrooms grow there. do natural farming and you can grow mushrooms right in the pot with the plants!!
From what i understand you need sterile environments to make sure you grow the mushroom you want. In soil there are many mushroom spores that might grow not just the one you want.
I was a rave freak for the most of my 20’s and it was intense. Always was a rocker but took a detour to psy and electro. Did X probably for a few years and LSD too, but i like Salvia the most. Rented a beach house a few years back and went with a friend and my cousin, oh man! We had a extract 20x back at the time, and we took some, my cousin says he was on top of us floating from a corner up in the room and that he could see his body and he could see us laughing about his “trip”, it was very phisycal on him. My friend said he saw dwarfs and that he was laughing with them, about what i dunno. And me, i was taken to a world of fractals where sound and color united in armony and i had no idea where i was or nothing. Very intense. Gonna look for some online right now… LOL
