    To the young’uns - when you see someone in their 50s or 60s nowadays, just remember that a huge chunk of us spent the entire 90s utterly fucked up on coke, ecstasy, dope and LSD, listening to extremely loud electronic music

    That’s why we’re all a bit weird, and deaf 😊

    Basically everything.

    Except opiates, barbiturates, and REEEALLY specific RCs, but I’ve tried a lot of weird RCs. Wellll I also have smoked opium a few times. It was awesome. Never any hard opiates. Too scary.

    Oh, also never had mescaline. Would try it though.

    The weirdest of all of them was Foxy (5-MeO-DiPT)

    The most addictive was Mephedrone (scary)

    The worst one was DOC… I was ready to be done a few hours in. NOPE OVER TWENTY HOURS

      Opium is a SCORE, still a top 3 on my list. Any story to that?

      What is your take on the 5-MeO ones for intermediate psych users? I’ve heard lots of mixed opinions on them from my circles

        Yeah!

        Opium first time: handed a bowl at a festival circle, took a hit… instead of flower, it was flowery! Didn’t do much, but smelled and tasted nice.

        Next time: Friend’s house. Smoked a decent chunk. Smelled great, felt kinda like more relaxing weed. Was nice.

        Final time: With my partner, when we had begun dating like a decade ago. A good chunk. We smoked all of it on their bed and watched “Memoirs of a Geisha.” It smelled and tasted lovely. I got fucking SPLAPPED. Like, I’ve never felt anything like it. Absolute 10, and that’s when I knew I’m not touching opiates again until I’m terminal.

        Foxy… the most fucking weird thing I’ve ever done. Tried it with my previous partner. It was a nightmare for most of it. Beyond visual and auditory distortions, we literally had temporal distortion. Songs we were familiar with would streeeeetccchhh out and go slower, and sound deeper… orgoreallyfastandsoundsuperpitchedup. My body got heavier when things were slow, and lighter when time went fast. I ate a burnt chocolate chip cookie. Nightmare nightmare nightmare. Then we fucked for like an hour and that was GREAT. We felt better after that. Never again, but also WAY FUCKING COOL experience. I was, at the time, moderately experienced with paychs (acid, mushies, 2cs, 4-aco)

          Yep, opiates do indeed be the slipperiest slope. Making me miss the good ol’ days 😂😂

          While I didn’t branch out much w psychs, I was an acid head for a good while and 5-MeO-DMT was the one I tried hardest to source. Wish I had gotten a chance now!

            It’s still around on the darknet! I happened into mine, a friend was like “wanna just have five of these? It’s insane and you’ll wanna fuck” and I’m like “PLEASE”

            I got very lucky. To receive it. I ate a cap with my partner, and gave the other three away.

        Read my other response, absolutely wild! I felt so weird and bad, both sound and time distorted and my body felt weight when it happened. It was NUTS! I don’t regret trying it, but I’m never doing it again hahaha

    My psychiatrist asked me that once during an ADHD diagnosis, listing several examples of some common ones, and I said “all those” unflinchingly because I was super restless and anxious during the diagnosis appointment which was also during work and he jolted and pulled out a little cartoonish handkerchief to wipe his brow it was like an old timey book

    I tried cannabis for the first time this year and I’m 50. That’s it. It had zero effect on me and I just had some cereal.

      When smoking it often doesn’t work the first time, try again if you got nothing to do that day 😂

          I had some cheerios and went to bed.

          Well… sry to disappoint if you were expecting to see dragons or smth, but that pretty much is the effect.

              No wörries. A lot of people do.

              I remember expecting something much more, as the depictions from shows and movies were always pretty overt. (This was in early 00’s.)

              Ended up being more akin to like a similarly strong but opposite effect of caffeine. Caffeine makes me less hungry and more active. Weed does the opposite, more or less.

            I guess I just have to try a higher dose. I’m on an opioid antagonist medication though for anxiety which I think is blocking the effects.

              I’d suggest slowly increasing the amount you take. Though if you’re taking it frequently you will have to account for a grown tolerance as well.

              Edit: and if you stop for weeks at a time don’t resume at the dose you were taking while consuming regularly.

          Right, I’ve never touched any prescription crap, and probably never will unless I’m getting a serious injury or some shit.

          But sounds like I’m missing out on the fun end of things… Need to do some research ;-)

          • I’d like to do Ayahuasca. I don’t think you can just obtain that though. Gotta actually go find a shaman in the jungle that knows how to make it and hang out for a while. You know, that whole thing when the dealer thinks he’s your friend? Ugh. 🙄

              My partner’s sibling did a whole ayahuasca journey with a group (edit: and a legit shaman). It was INTENSE. I’d like to try but I’m terrified… and hate throwing up. But I like crying.

              Ayahuasca is very doable at home if you know what you’re looking for online.

              Shit, even your local gardening store probably sells cacti containing mescaline.

              Right, that’s on my to do list as well, but the whole experience around it doesn’t sound like too much fun, honestly.

              There are some organized workshops though, usually 2-3 days and involving some “cleansing” exercises, fasting, and whatnot.

    Alcohol, Nicotine, Caffeine, Cannabis, LSD, Ketamine, MDMA, 2C-B, 4-MMC, Kratom, Psilocybin, Muscimol, Cocaine, ODSMT (tramadol), Amphetamine.

    Alcohol I consider the most dangerous and destructive of all. It is very hard on my body and tolerance as well as dependence build up quickly and often noticed too late due to social acceptance.

    MDMA is great taken responsibly with loved ones. My wife and I enjoy it every few months for a “free parents weekend”. It really helps opening up emotionally and makes physical touch even more enjoyable.

    My almost daily vice is weed. I use it to manage stress and unwind after work. It works best when I do it together with exercise. The workout high is my personal favourite.

    Shrooms are also great. They are easy to grow and very pleasant to me. After I’ve done a high dose (6g) I can do 2-3g as a chill daytime dose that mellows me out. It’s especially great for playtime with children - brings me kind of to the same mental level without losing my mental capacity.
