Whats everbody's favorite psychedelic drug, least favorite? Any wonderfull experriences or horror stories? All my friends tell me to steer clear of acid, but think mushrooms are just dandy. In my case, Ive never taken any, but are strongly thinking of it. Just give me some input on what my first trip should be on.

Are you bill?

Wearing a wire?

just joking.

Yeah i would say that if you do really want to trip, shrooms are smoother and a less toxic high and last a shorter time.

But do some reading round the subject first, make a informed choice about the drugs. There are plenty of books and web pages on the subject im sure.

just dont take them to go clubbing and be carful.

Philosopher's Stone mushrooms (growkits available from KingBong.com) are quicker than liberty caps and shorter. Start with a handful of those and some friends and someone who's tripped before (ground control) in a safe and friendly environment (your house) and have toys and sparkly things around.
Treat your future tripping self like a child- limited cognitive capacity, fascination with sparkle, chocolate milk desire strong etc. likely to to silly things. Make a nice environment and then enjoy it, then get comfy and go to sleep.
Acid can be better or worse, the problem is gauging quality (and finding it in the first place). It can also be a more 'intellectual' or sharply defined trip, and gives you stronger visuals and less physical sensations. Beware, though, poorly made acid contains traces of strychnine which can give you bastard jawache etc.
Good luck!

I find that taking mushies makes me listen to more appropriate music (Can, Floyd, etc), whereas the last time I took acid I ended up listening to 'Wings Over America'.

I don't get psychedelics, I shouldn't bother if I was you, you're only going to see things and be a bit dim and scared/elated* for a while. If you're like me you'll see nothing but the spaces inbetween everything and lose all ability to move. Terribly boring and quite inconsiderate of myself and no, don't take them to go clubbing, you might end up staring at the pretty patterns all night and then go in to funky paranoia. God I hate shrooms.

I have had the worst and best times on psychedelics, and there are valid arguments for them not being used as recreational drugs and only as sacraments. But bugger that, I like being confused and elated and staring at pretty patterns painted on my vision.
But don't take them clubbing, everybody's right about that. *shivers at bad memory*

Hey there. I would start on Salvia as it's a shorter trip so there is less potential to really mess yourself up, if you havn't heard of it try www.erowid.org for information on it, or for that matter info on almost any drug. Research as much as you can on whatever you do decide to take. If you want to try Salvia first the you can buy some at www.salviadee.com for good prices. But keep in mind just because it's legal and cheap doesn't mean it's not powerfull. As long as you're not stupid you should have some amazing experiences. Good Luck

I did have the worst experience of my life on mushies, but as everyone has said, if u take them in a friendly environment, and not clubbing, its great. I didnt go clubbing, but i was in a house id been to once before, with loads of strangers, and awful music turned up full, and it was doing my head in and i wanted to cry, and it was cold coz there were people hangin out the door, and an obnoxious guy goin "AAAYy BooYYYY!!" over and over coz he knew my head was pickled. I went to bed, and i got stuck to it, then i went downstairs and the toilet sang at me- i swear it was the most terrifying thing of my life. And all night i was suspended between being awake and asleep, thinking my face was made of plasticene, and chewing my hand until it was almost bleeding. And time went so slowly. So slowly.

My only minor relief (well relief is perhaps the wrong word- compensation is more apt) was that i vomited in a measuring jug (half a pint to be precise), and then emptied it down the now silent toilet. Then in the morning, i woke up to watch the strangers i had come to loath throughout the night make vokda jelly in the jug. Without washing it. Bliss.

yeah club tripping sux- my story

the night was shit, me and my freind had been going to that club for years and it dawned on us that it was excatlly the same crowd and exactlly the same music, so when a dealer aquaintance slid over and offered us a decent amount of shrooms for a decent price our whynot reflex kicked in. After an hour the giggles found us sitting at a table Goths (not the most cheerful bunch) and when we started comparing them to Mars bars (to this day i still think that goths dress like the pakaging on mars bars) they lost what little tolorance they had. So my freind wonders off and somebody sits in his seat (my hands are shaking just typing this) i fuking lose it.

"YOUR NOT PHILL, WHO ARE YOU, STOP TRYING TO BE PHILL, PHILLS BIGGER THAN YOU DID YOU STEAL SOME OF HIS MASS?!!

by this time i am so fucking scared of every thing, so the bouncer has no trouble picking the crying mess i have become and throw me out.

outside im so glad to see my friend the fear leave and the giggles return, unforntantly he is being attacked be some of the people he pissed of inside, but im still laughing, i mean who wouldnt? Your freinds being beaten up by some giant mars bars and he doesnt stand a chance cos his arms in a cast, what could be funnier? all the while there is a nagging feeling that i should be doing something. eventally it dawns on me what but by that time the fight had been broken up by a frind of ours that had been passing, that didnt stop me picking up the neon pink umbrella somebody dropped and launching a insanlly vicous attack on someone that was now trying to explain the situation to the bouncers.

Phill says to this day he will never forget my manic face soaked with tears as i hit the back of this guys head highlander style.

the moral?
make sure your with freinds

or never trust a goth

I would start on Saliva - specofdust

mmm, yes, and I'll sell you some of mine if you like. I seem to have a nearly endless supply.

re : Psychedelics and clubbing - don't listen to these pyschonought pussies, it's great. Just take your light sabre, and if any little green fuck gives you any shit about having the death sentence in 12 star systems, take his bastard arm right off.

That'll learn the rest of them alien freaks, and you can chill out to the groovy space jazz.

Oh, and they probably don't serve droids.

Sorry if my previous post made it sound like I was the one selling it. I'm not in any way anything to do with Salviadee, it's just that's the only site I know in Scotland (where I live) that doesn't sell it at roughly the same prices per gram as cannabis costs. I am a big fan of salvia though and I stand by what I said.

Just to say Puck, that is one of the best drug stories I've ever heard.

I don't know about starting with Salvia, that's mighty potent reality shattering stuff if taken in any concentration. Light doses are however, very mild, though I still don't consider it even at light doses recreational. Well, other than for psychonauting purposes, that is.

I actually find acid to be easier to handle than shrooms, personally. I think that's in part due to acid becomming predictable and familiar once you get the swing of it, while shrooms can still get the better of you even if you're a pro. Just how they work, with the transformative element of them. Shrooms are generally more euphoric (if you don't have a reaction and sick the lot up) so make a better first time ride for most, I suppose. Though I do have to admidt that good acid is probably still the top of the chart for a good time, as long as you run with it like a child and don't freak against it.

As for clubbing, you can do it, but not until you have a good grasp of how to handle yourself on the stuff first. If you can manage a night out tripping without freaking and know exactly what to expect, then maybe try a club, familiar and with friends. I've had amazing fun, even at goth clubs. Though nothing beats a good psi-trance rave properly messed That's the sort of experience that can break you deeper than you've ever thought possible, and I highly reccomend it if you can deal with that sort of intensity.

But yea, when in doubt, stick to familair and friends, look at the pretty colors, and just try to shut up and enjoy the ride on whatever you do.

Oh, and for goodness sake, skip the drink if you're tripping. Really, this stuff is best taken on its own, or with a little weed. Booze and psychedelics is a recipe for a good drug horror story, more than anything else.

Plus booze will act to curb the effects of acid. Generally Depressant+Stimulant=Headfuck. And unless that's what your into, steer clear, steer clear.

Hey spec...sorry if my post made it sound like I was judging your post...I just picked up on an amusing (well, to me) spelling error you seem to still be missing.

Or am I a twat?

Doh.

Slavia's tricky . . .

and haas been discussed here often... do a search...

If I could do it over I would make 'Shrooms my first psychodelic... However it was LSD, which I understand has become quite difficult to find.

My $.02:
Get together with some trusted friends and share a jug of shroom tea while walking in the woods...
Make sure you have something to drink other than the tea...

Hey Mu. Don't be sorry, twas my fault. Sorry I should have noticed the misplaced "I" considering i'm fairly keen on salvia. But I was tired and when i quickly re-read it I thought u'd meant I was a part of salvia-dee 'cos the post was so positive regarding salvia.

Ah well, thanks for helping me (finally) notice that.

specofdust... have you been growing any plants yourself?

seems to take the experience to a whole new level...

Make sure you check the strength of the Salvia beforehand- 10x strength would not be good to start with...

when it comes to drugs, i usually apply the same maxim as i do in my sex life; harder faster scarier.
works for music too, usually.


personally i liked acid, especially for that recognisable 'wacky world of acid' feel, and have only ever truly felt the fear and more importantly the loathing once, on mushrooms.

i will still go back to them, but mostly because i will not be beaten by a plant. which yes, is a foolhardy attitude. also pretty appropriate for me, though.

has anyone here ever tried tripping on cough syrup?
was it here that i was told about trying to mix nyquil and dayquil for the cleanest trip of my life?
not being american i have no access to these, and have still yet to research the active ingredients.

Read the other threds on Salvia for some ideas... start with the dried leaf; unaltered...
 
 
specofdust
11:42 / 03.05.03
I havn't been growing any plants 'cos of space and time limits right now. But I'm going to once I can. It does take the experience to a new level though from what I've heard. It's a very, natural experience and I think if you've grown it yourself it must be more powerfull.

Listen to what Quantum said Mu, starting on extract is not a good idea.

Moi?? My drugging days are fading, I must say, 'specially all that bonkers guff...I've gatecrashed the Creator quite enough to last me until, er, well, the next time I suppose...

Ayahuasca brew is about my last ol' faithful, and that's gettin' mighty hard to come by. Highly recommended though.

Ah, I see what you mean now...My 'It'd be a thing' comment was more to do with the potential use and abuse of psychedelic saliva...

Hum. I like mushies and acid, but, yeah, in the woods, with some of your bestest friends is the only way to do it. 'Specially if you get nice fire in a clearing, and can watch stuff. Y'know.

My parents appear to be growing salvia, in a neatly marked tub, in the kitchen. Fairly sure it's not for smoking, but maybe it is. Doubt it, though. Never tried it, may order some from that website you mention, spec.

Has anyone tried DMT? Sounds fascinating, I'd love to give it a go. No idea where to even start getting it.

dmt IS EXTREMELY DIFFACULT TO COME BUY... jump at the opportunity if it presents itself.

Duncan, if your folks are growing the plant... collect what dried leaves drop off... o helpwith pruning. it will tend to grow in a straight line towards light if it's not occasionally cut back. There are a large variety of salvia breeds... may are used in landscaping etc... however, the deviner's sage IS distinct... in appearance as well as spirit...

toksik, the active ingredient in the cough syrup is DXM, a disassocitive anasthetic. In upper doses, it yields deep shamanic trips. However, most cough syrups contain enough other things to make you quite ill if you take it that way. Not that you can't, mind you, its just not a pretty experience. Large doses of expectorants do unpleasent things to the bowels.
