Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why my first time trying shrooms ended so badly. Basically, I went home a bit too early (5 AM), snuck in through my window, and tried to force myself to stop tripping without having any real knowledge of my mindset while tripping. I'm not sure if it was psychosomatic or if I actually ended up tripping for 14 hours off a single eighth. I got so frustrated that I started gnawing on my arm because I couldn't break something without my parents knowing I was awake. It probably wasn't a good idea to trip for the first time when I had work the next day, either :rolleyes:

Ok I missed the poll but thought it was a good one so I have to add in my 2c now. I faint from tripping, a good rip of weed will do it to me. With pot it half seems like its from lack of a breath, but at the same time not at all. I've found the I can take a huge hit of weed and a pretty near full breath with it and it's the same as if I would have not taken a breath with it, at the same time I can hold my breath for quite sometime longer than I can hold a hit in and not faint. I don't know if I can hold my breath till I pass out, I've never done it

I usually get a nice pull into my mouth and take a deep breath with it. Long as I put a effort into hitting the bowl(hitting it right), schwag or headies will both do it too me. I find it's usually dose related when I spin out, I think I become so overwhelmed my brain just can't comprehend and I drop to the ground. I've seen it happen many times to others, but they were usually dosed and sucking on a balloon of n20 when they went down and out...

It's like I had some mushrooms just kick in full blast, It'll start with a bit of fuzzy vision(I'll know right then if it's gonna happen, and by then it's too late to prepare for a fall) which transforms into colors shapes and patterns and me being lost in head for a very comfortable moment. I don't smoke pot while driving or standing anymore, I can't it's not safe(for me or others). I pretty much lose function and drop to the ground overwhelmed by the visuals.

The first time it happened I was walking creek side with a friend, I hit the bowl and I started tripping, next thing I remember is sitting up in the creek and being all wet, good thing it was a low one and was nice weather. Ever since then I've been able to pretty much make it happen, it's happened many times since without me trying, I've scared a few people blacking out, it doesn't scare me like the first time when I ended up in a creek :smile:

i have never fainted on psychedelics and voted accordingly, but i've met a few people that have. i've always wondered why that happens, if its just the intensity they can't handle or if there is some medical problem going on or what. i wish there were more research for these things.

Pot will make me faint, blackout, spinout, whatever you call it. Stronger psychedelics I may be out for a prolonged period of time like multiple minutes instead of just a moment with weed. If I don't hit that point while tripping it's like I didn't take enough(like it was a waste and I just kinda got a bit high). Last trip was on lsd+k, I blacked out a lot. Every time I'd black out I'd become overwhelmed in my visuals, to the point where nothing is reconizable from this world. The k and lsd night was a series of overwhelming visual blackouts every other time I'd take the K post peak and it'd push me further than I was. I'd come back around might have gotten to spit a few words out and was back in my head, out.

I think I can answer that one. I included fainting because I saw several reports to that effect in my shroomery years.

I think that in part we are dealing here with a genuine pharmacological effect.

Psychedelics are active on serotonin receptors. Some serotonin receptors are involved with blood pressure.

Combine:

The drug interacting with bloodpressure regulation
Hypoglycemia
Prolonged periods of sitting motionless, then moving
Extreme variable emotions

Any of these alone can make some people faint, with psychedelics they intermingle.

If the faint is due to rapid drop of bloodpressure (which most fainting is) theoretically a rare few people could get a heart rhythm disturbance from such a sudden drop, just like that risk exists for any reason such a drop occurs.

Very interesting, I wonder what makes me "go away", my guess is its partially emotional and I get quite peaceful(do not disturb, lol) I sure hope it's not bad for me, but what fun is life if you don't do "bad things" to yourself. I had tripped quite a few times and smoked pot for quite sometime before I was so overwhelmed I'd faint, blackout, spin out how ever you describe it. I can't say I've never had any negatives from it happening, it's a little odd when someone is walking along and all of the sudden are in a creek looking passed out and confused... I stopped standing while smoking pot after I smacked my head once, only thing I've learned quick in my life, there was no thinking about it. The first time I blacked out was from nothing more than good pot, I gotta say I do enjoy it when I spin off into a kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, and time. Its always very, overwhelmingly visual when it happens, the first couple threw me way off. I went from a normal pothead to weed being very psychedelic. I most definitely get some sort of visuals from pot even after a faint or without it happening at all

What have you experienced in regards to Salvia-related flashbacks.

Flash backs can result from any intense emotional experience. War, car crash, rape so forth and so on. Before you take a psychedelic, one must be aware of this intense emotional experience, and its positive and negative consequences.

Salvia has left me with like a spot burned in my memory, it sticks out a lot and I do think about it often for it happening years ago now. The most intense trip I've ever had was from a few good pulls from a pipe of salvia and a balloon of n20 as soon as I blew out the last hit. All I have to do is think about it and I'm back there. I went from sitting into a chair to sliding uncontrolled out of it to the ground where I was glued down for a moment or two, or three. I got up and had to ask how long I was out for. I've never had a trip like that again, lsd+k was close, but the visuals were a lot less memorable as was the whole night after the K

My first and only "bad/difficult" trip was a night of my x and I doing nothing more than eating mushrooms and got lost along the way. Don't eat mushroom because your bored, unless you up for a lesson, that's what we did. ate mushrooms due to bordum and received a lesson(that was her last trip, and probably the decline of the relationship). Up until then there hadn't been any confusion or anxiety or anything negative in any of my trips. In the end I gained so much from that trip that I can't wait for a repeat to happen, I hope I freak out again someday, it knocked me down a notch for the best.

Mad cognitive shifts, son.

On a side note, I've seen one trend in this thread, as well as in all the research I've done prior. It seems like once people "snap" (this can be HPPD, anxiety, whatever), re-emerging into the world of psychedelics can cause a re-emergence of their problems, but does not seem to worsen them.

That's very interesting to me. It seems as though, if you find your own breed of mental illness, and come out of it a functioning member of society instead of an addition to a mental ward, then at least you know the worst case scenario.

This is just an observation, mind you, not a conclusion.

i'm a person who put <5x (i joined this forum mostly for cultivation tips) so i gotta ask. doesn't it suck not having a full grasp on reality? don't get me wrong, i love to get high or drunk or trip every now and then, but i also love to wake up the next morning and reflect on the previous night's festivities with a clear, sober mind.

do you ever regret doing so many psychedelics?

I've regretted in the past when it was happening(usually was just not the most convienient setting to be blacking out or close), but looking back at it I'm glad I took the whole trip instead of "getting high"

I had anxiety long before I did drugs. I believe psychedelics really helped me to beat my anxiety problem.

The sensory alterations are something I just view as a side effect of something which has allowed me to grow as a spiritual being.

MisterMuscaria said:
I had an intense trip like that myself last year. but are you sure those are mushroom flashbacks? Marijuana in it's own right is known to be a hallucinogen.

I'm guessing that if I stopped smoking pot most everyday I'd stop tripping, I think the longest break I've taken was like a week and believe me it was not by choice.... Pot is the only thing that seems to help my anxiety, I can eat xanax and go to sleep but it does not put me at ease with whatever was making me anxious, I think a bit more rationally when I'm stoned, I'm just glad to have a few rationa; thoughts after so many trips.

I have consumed about 1/2 oz of mushrooms in the past year, my most recent trip being very intense many ups and downs, like heaven and hell, ever since this past experience if i smoke a large quantity of marijuana, i will have a noticeable mushrooms flashback for about 30 minutes (objects swelling, vision twisting, appendages contorting, lucid mind state), does anybody know a method for halting these flashbacks?

I don't think those are flashbacks mang. Marijuana will very frequently take on the properties of other psychedelics you do regularly. I no longer have to eat mushrooms at all. At this point, the only way to have a "good old" weed high is to drink some alcohol first and smoke after I'm drunk. That will turn it back into a shallow, giggly experience real quick.

I'll agree with the response to that fully, sounds like pot is psychedelic for Ophanim to an extent. If I have a drink or two I won't spin out on pot for a moment, it's not anywhere near as enjoyable like that(without the fainting)I'd rather drink alcohol without pot....that never happens though. I haven't gotten all giggly from pot since I first started smoking it. Even then it was hit and miss like a normal trip is for me, sometimes I'll be over joyous for seemingly no reason, and that makes me smile and giggle more

Suggestions for improving the poll, ask for specific adverse effects, this is a general poll a poll with more specific information including times tripped, doses and other information is very desireable. You got the ball rolling so that is commendable.

That was more of what I was expecting, specific symptoms in the poll, synesthesia remarks, thought loops "taking too much"(a matter of setting IMO, hard to judge) those other confusing but possibly fun things that happen fro taking psychedelics. I think one of the things I like the most is the fact they(psychedelics) can leave you crying and scared or so happy and joyous you can't control the laughing. The total loss in control of life helps me to be a better person. I've cared for many that were tripping way harder than expected, I've also been cared for many times too, I tend to go all the way or not at all.

omtb said:

Maybe somebody can help/advice me :
I�ve read a lot before tripping.I read about how shrooms make you see somethings that are "normally hidden, how they make you realize about some truths.
So, that�s what I was expecting when 1rst tripping.

Then when tripping I realized how superficial everything in life is (i mean Everything, even love, life it self), I started to think about why life is such a mess , why the persons can be so mean, why this why that and so on and on. I got NO answers ,only questions about life. One big question was: why i am tripping about this??? I wanted trip about others things, nature, see things, see elves whatever but not this.
That got me kind of depressed, when sobber. Now almost everything for me in life is big question mark, with no answer.
I have only tripped 3 times, I want to trip more, but I dont want to get deeper and deeper, questioning everthing .Everytime I trip I start to think and think and i dont like that, I do enjoy the visuals. Maybe Iif I eat more dosage, i �d loose myself and mental control. and the thinking would be over, and the enviroment would lead my thoughts. I don�t know.. ADVICES?

I've had to deal with anxiety attacks since before I knew what they were or what was happening to me, thinking about it now I think it was and still is a control situation that will do it to me(bring out the anxiety or put me into an anxiety attack). I think you should question everything, learn from you're questions, ask more but try not to ask one and not answer it, I'm sure some will stay unanswered. IMO life is "superficial everything in life is (i mean Everything, even love, life it self), I started to think about why life is such a mess , why the persons can be so mean,..."
I think this is because most people suck and don't have any compassion for others. We just don't care about each other enough to be able to see from the other side and have compassion towards a fellow human. Sometimes people just get shit on so many times you can't blame them for being an asshole(stepdad...and well I guess even then it's not an excuse to be an asshole) it''s a part of their life and will be brought to yours, all you can do is nothing sometimes

my advice, gained from experience, is don't trip in your parents house.

holy crap, man. i know EXACTLY what you mean. lol.

I don't understand, why are you all so afraid of your parents? Does you're family shun you for drug use? Like my fathers side of the family(grandparents) do to me(fuck em!!) outcast do to no understanding. I smoke pot mainly for anxiety(the reason I tried it, I was anxious) but still would if I wasn't anxious. One of the things I enjoy most in life are the conversations I have with my mom after I trip. I don't know why but she always seems to want to chat when I'm still putting the pieces back in place, and I'm always up for it some reason. I'm lucky I guess, I get stories from my mom like this one day we took too much pcp and one of are friends was lost in a closet for hours... haha I've been the on sitting outside the closet just as she has. We'll burn together every now and again, I'd absolutely love to trip with my mom. It's still weird for both of us(smoking pot) to do in front of each other(I thank the US gov't for all their propaganda, probably why it's weird still) and I don't know why, but it is as it is. I like knowing that if I'm home and I trip if I need something there is someone there for me. I'd rather not be stumbling, slurring, drunk than mid trip, I'm much more clear when I'm not spun out. When I moved back home last time I had a flush of mushrooms on a casing to be picked and she was cool about it, mushrooms brought my mom and I closer with out eating them. She has said that aside from pot and booze mushrooms are all her and her friends would consider taking anymore. Too much stuff to do to have a head full of cid, I'm glad I'm not there and jealous at the same time. I hope there is never a time in my life where I can't set some time aside to trip hard as possible.

I'd also like to add I've experienced a few other side effects from psychedelics. I've gotten jaw tension/clenching from acid, also a sore back. Psychedelic bathroom time... Going #1 isn't any prob, but #2 I feel as close to giving birth as I ever will, myself being male it'd be hard to truly understand. I can't eat psychedelics with a full stomach, it'll gurgle and bubble and I'll half feel like shit the whole time, I just can't get into the trip. Specifically mushrooms will give me nausea if I take them with any food in me. I usually can't bring myself to eat anything until I've been back to square one for a few hours. I've been delusional, confused, had synesthesia(multiple time each different) thought loops are about the worst I've had they aren't fun and usually I need someone to snap me out, it'll pass eventually if I'm alone. I prefer to trip home alone with no one around, makes it hard to get in trouble and I think about my loved ones more when on solo runs. I don't have any trip partners anymore, trust is lacking in my circles of friends and they are also dissapating to just person or two rather than groups of people that would chill together, growing up sucks everyone has gotten so busy they forget about what got them to where they are and what, who and how they loved the friends they did.

OK, no more meth for me I type too much. I'd love to hear some responses, mostly about reason why weed brings me to my knees in a kaleidoscope.

Off to space... probably not xanax takes away from weed(for me anyway) but it's late and I just took my bedtime dose before my bedtime bowl, (x4 the xanax due to being up a few days on meth)I get very intense visuals after or during any meth use, so I have to much down like 2mg just to be able to burn some weed(makes meth even better, a bonus of sort). If I'm lucky I'll wake up with a half burnt bowl that is still in my hand from before I fell comatose sleeping ready to help start another long boring sunday.

Night, night shroomery, I was away for a while(aside from poking in to see the candy thread) and I really missed you all. Great poll WS, wish I could have been a statistic for once!

One person has tripped more than a thousand times? Holy Fuck. I must meet this person.

Im not the 1000+ but 500+ was quite the ride.

since '94

went pretty hard core for like 5 years and I just stopped when I noticed I was eating 30+ hits of good clean acid just for fun. I would drop a ten strip just to play NES or PlayStation almost every day for weeks on end. Ive sat at waters edge and watched a lake burn for a weekend just cuz I couldnt find a place to chill at. at my biggest dose (33 hits) I was spun for a week straight. its all good, now Im married (6yrs) and have a 3yr old lil girl who is the light in my life. I get to be a stay at home dad and "study my spores" in my spare time and teach my lil girl how to be a good person and to love everybody no matter their flaws, we are all human and should always remember knowledge is the key.

but now every couple months I enjoy the fruits of my labor (or a hit of salvia and I likes my buds) while watchin a movie or just going fishing.

the whole experience has made me better person, more respectful and courteous, I always treat people the way I would want them to treat me.

beautiful post man. Really.

Psychedelics are good. In moderation.

I find meditation is better though. It is exactly the same except the peace comes from totally within you, you don't need anything else but what is already inside of you waiting to blossom out in the most clear, calm and peaceful way.

I get physical feelings of warmth, softness and acidy like stuff all the time man. Its weird, like i was on this kick about how my lips were so soft i could feel the youthful energy in them and stuff... :eek:

yeah its weird.

Theres some freaks out there. I mean I'm a freak too, no question about it. I don't know, though. I just find it feels so damn good to be alive, sober. I definitely don't feel "sober" at all. I feel happy. I want to share it with everyone.

I've done acid like 50 times. I don't really care to do it anymore, but I am interested in DMT and shroomies.

I used to be a bit of an alcoholic too. That shit is just bad, I really see it rampant here in portland. everyone is kind of an alcoholic and doesn't even know it. maybe its like that everywhere though. I'm not gonna lost sleep over it.

Shrooms taught me a lot, too. I just love being at ease with my deepest darkest fears, just being a breeze. Incarnate.

Life is good. This is an excellent thread.

If you are looking for a fun visual trip with still being in control of your mind, i would try acid (LSD) I've never had a bad trip....amazing visuals and an all around fun time...also a pretty in-expensive drug to trip for 8 hours or so. I've shroomed twice and dosed (LSD) about 7 or 8 and they are by far both amazing. But i seem like i have more control of my thoughts on LSD.

has anybody ever gotten into DXM. I'm kind of embarrased by my past with it because it sounds so dirty to get high on cough medicine, but in high school I had it down to a science. If I smoked enough weed to get me high as the effects of the DXM were coming on it launched me into a truly psychedelic experience different from either of the drugs used separately. The effects varied with dose but were usually characterized by severe loss of motor skills and dream-like out of body experiences...extreme euphoria. I've given it up for good because of the adverse effects I started noticing(and once i got my hands on some mushrooms). I think DXM definitely had some negative effects on my life that took me a long time to get over, but mushrooms and acid have never had any lasting negative effects for me. I find that they actually help me get my priorities and beliefs in order. I feel like they make me truly myself, absent of all outside influence. "mind manifesting" not to say I haven't had difficult experiences, but they always tend to bring up some source of conflict so that it can be worked through. If you're willing to go where the trip takes you, you almost always arrive better than you were.

On another note I've been becoming increasingly fascinated by the comparison of acid and mushrooms and the variances of experience from person to person with the two. I personally prefer mushrooms as acid tends to give me uncomfortable sensations in my gut and sometimes make me a bit overly emotional. A friend of mine prefers acid though becuase he experiences almost exactly the same negative effects on mushrooms. Maybe it's just the coincidences of our mindsets when we each dosed our respective favorites. Who knows?

Any thoughts? Specifically on the comparison and contrast of psilocybin and LSD??

I've never fainted on a trip but I've come close to it once... and yes, it's low blood pressure due to intense emotions of anxiety or fear. When the doctor took my blood pressure on my last trip, he said it was dangerously low. Probably the result of puking too many times, sweating like a maniac and having multiple panick attacks.

I gained an adverse effect from tripping that at least an important fraction of this board must have. Constant anxiety. I can always feel rapid and omnipresent fasciculations going on through my body. This anxiety has led me to believe that I had multiple sclerosis, HPPD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, derealisation disorder and a shit load of other minor conditions. I have turned into a hypochondriac, but it has been getting better these last few months.
I'm going to have my first trip in 5 months tomorrow night. Should I do it?

Yeah but will my anxiety bust my balls while I'm tripping? And can I stop it like I can stop it when I'm sober?
I really want to but I just don't want to have another bad trip, just a chilled out one.

shrooms make my anxiety and OCDs go away for a week or so after dosing.

I get paranoid during the first 30min or so then relaxed for the rest of the trip then Im good for awile.

start with a low dose, 1-2g till your comfortable, then step it up a gram or so.

I did the poll but there are some inaccuracies in the questions - for example last time I did shrooms was over 8 years ago. I was a carefree user - but I did have bad trips as time went on! But not at the beginning for a long time.

I came close to fainting from marijuana one time upon standing up (my field of vision went colorful for like a full 60 seconds, lightheaded, floating feeling), but I've never fainted from LSD/shrooms/ecstasy.

once when i took 500mg of mescaline and smoked 1/4 of a gram of cannabis after a 48 hour fast, i was hit with a classic 'in over my head' trip. i couldn't shake the constant severe paranoia and anxiety that i felt for the next week. it was my fault though, for not having a better setting.

There's a few problems with this poll... For example, I wouldn't say my memory has gotten better or worse, but it definitely functions differently. Occasionally it's beneficial while other times it's burdensome, etcetera

This poll has a LOT of potential to really clarify a LOT of stuff. I mean, we could collect data on strains, drugs--specifics like LSD differences and species of shrooms--cubes vs cyans and such. Maybe I get too excited about research, but getting IRB certified for research isn't hard--finding someone with a PhD to put their name on it as a co-investigator is the challenge.

I'd be willing to work with some people to help construct a survey--or a series of surveys that can be used to acquire a more fine tuned pool of data. Not that we'd get published or anything, but it would be some serious data that would be great for people to have. We can have a variety of data that could be added to as people expand their knowledge and experiences with these types of drugs.

Thoughts?

That is pretty cool information to know. What is LSD made of? It's not very natural is it?

Cool, I'm just trying to understand the relationship between the different drugs (LSD and Shrooms) without actually having done both. So what is the natural starting material for LSD? I guess I could do a searc, but this thread's open, right?

I tripped on cid about fifteen times when I was about fourteen years old. The five first trips were the funniest and most fun experiences of my life, but then things changed all at once while watching movies with some friends. Then I had some ten bad trips. The bad trips made me really want to clean up and live to which end I learned TM and followed Maharishi in the 80s. The first two years I spent meditating I was very organically conflicted and had a headache in my forehead. A headache I had for two years which I blamed on the hyper conflicted organic substance of my brain - but during another stretch of a few months at one point I heard my brain make new pathways - I heard my own synapses firing at night. My brain somehow became more convoluted and more able to bridge seemingly conflicting qualities. I eventually became a Buddhist. If it weren't for acid, who the hell knows what I would be doing now, or how I would perceive my surroundings. The mystical perspective I have obtained as well, is all from one night or another tripping back in my youth.

what is wrong with some of these shroom posters?

" is mdma considered tripping " ?
" is salvia to be counted " ?

You all need to educate yourselfs before you trip on shrooms.

Well lots of people just get started out on shrooms because they hear they are safer and far less intense than some things like acid or e without knowing a whole lot about the others. Personally I think starting on acid (all this after some experience with green of course) is the best way to go because its free of that paranoia that shrooms bring sometimes.

This is a long read. Essentially this is what I sent to a shamanic center as an inquiry. But this is my biggest problem, I ahve a VERY hard time letting go and accepting loss of controlI feel that my ego feels challenged. Anyways here is my story.

I am currently practicing to become a shaman practitioner, although I believe I might have the genuine shaman's call. I started out when I was 16 smoking marijuana and wanted to experience Magic Mushrooms (back the I knew nothing of shamans or spirits), and when I turned 17 I finally got hold of some. When I took them the first time it was just a fun time, I can barely recall it. The second time I took them. I got showered in knowledge about the spirit realm and how babies in a mothers stomach got their spirit I also learned about the tree of life(divides physical and Spirit realms). I also learned about the way people choose to run their life and how oblivious they can be toward certain aspects of life. It completely changed my beliefs and outlooks! I loved my new way of seeing. When I took them the third time I realized that life in western culture is a complete failure and that the reality that these people bring on themselves is fake and just leeches from mother earth. I also learned that just because what percieve as reality isnt necessarily actualality and that mdoern culture is just a closed up group of people disconnected to the earth. Then I took them again about a week later. As the trip came up 2 of my friends showed up at my house drunk and beat up from a terrible bail on his skateboard. They were argueing with each as to who caused it and I had to kick the one guy out. Then my friend asked if I could buy him some smoke and just as I was about to walk out the door I passed out while I was standing. I was flying through hallways until my trip (he was there since the beginning, we were tripping together) friend slapped me until I was awake and the other friend had 911 dialed on the phone ready to press talk. I instantly started freaking out and bad tripping. I felt poisoned and felt loss of control. Sick to my stomach and scarred. I eventually got out of it and managed to sleep. The next time I took it was Canada Day and it was shear impulse. It was mushrooms tea and I thought i would jsut trip alone and before they even came up I realized all the OTHER possbilities of what I could do that day and thought maybe I could get out of it by throwing it up. I tried to and instantly I started getting a panic reaction and felt I had made myself trapped. My skin went white and I was sweating profusely. About 2 weeks after this I developed general anxiety disorder (what westerners call it) and get random bouts of fear. I get fear especially when I get weird feeling around my body or when I feel vulnerable.Its a feeling of impending doom and loosing control and being envelopped in reality, I think I have angered the plant spirits with my abuse of mushrooms. I understand to this day that the world in modern culture is a fake paradise and that there reality is only percieved to be real but is slowly killing the earth. I get very psychic moments where ill think about something with a friend and the phone will ring and it will be that friend concerning the matter I was thinking about. Or I will think I see sometin out the corner of my eye and it quickly goes away. Or I will be thinking the same thing as someone else randomly, but constantly. I recently stopped smoking pot because im aware that a good shaman is also grounded when he needs to be and pot leaves residual effects for days after. So I gave up my joyeus habit for my spiritual growth as a man of knowledge.

During my childhood I was always told what to and not do and my parents acted very paranoid and strict towards certain aspects of my life. My dad is a alcoholic and I have to deal with many fights in our household due to his drunkardness. 10-12 beers a day. If its of any relevance

So this was 3 summers ago.... And here I am today with the same problem. I have been over a month and a half without marijuana.

Does anyone have any insight as to how I can learn to voyage again and break the resistence and fears. Taking a psychedelic is impossible for me now because whenever I think about it Ig et scarred and get afraid of being trapped and soo on. I realize its for spirituality but if you want to stop the trip u cant and this is what caused my problem on Canada day.

there are plenty of brilliant minds rearing to do these types of studies but they are vastly limited in what they can do. it's sad really, that politicians, drenched in ignorance and willing to go any shameless route they need to in order to get votes, get to tell scientists what they can and can't study. it's such a huge crock of shit... check out MAPS for more info.

Why are theyre people that voted for, anything under 19? i thought that was how old you had to be to get on this site. and i dont understand why shroomery doesnt include teenagers. Thats when they start to get into psychedelics and canabis.

Only tripped about 9 times but, how I see things has literally changed. Driving down the street I used to look at houses and buildings, but now I don't even notice. Instead I'm checking out the plants and trees.

Trees and plants seem to be much more exciting. I mean they look different. Its like a switch flipped in my brain and my entire world is much more exciting.

I'd compare it to being blind and being able to see again but I've never been blind.

Has anyone else had this eye opening experience?

It started right after my first time.

Yeah, man. I was opened up way more to nature after my first trip. I was 18 just laying on the grass in May, dew just soaking my shirt and I was just like... "nature, man. it's beautiful". And I watched the world for about 2 hours from that grassy spot.

Now every time I trip, only about 8 times since then, I always take time to look at trees and really appreciate that they've been around for so fuckin' long. A lot more when I'm sober too.

I must add that although I had a 'flashback' twice, these where not unpleasant experiences. I contribute these experiences to new insights my mind has gained through mushroom use. On both accounts I was a bit tired, and there where slight visual distortions similar to those in a trip. Which I could evoke by concentrating.

The problem I see with the poll is that all of the questions address mostly negative things.

For me, I feel level headed for about a week after a good trip, and often I find myself not smoking weed (daily smoker) during those times.

While I am tripping, I am talkative, insightful and often find myself assessing much of my life and the conflicts present in it.

Ive never experienced flashbacks, fainting (never heard of anyone doing that, or many of the things listed).

Most people will vouch for the way I feel, and I think that if you do not get these positive experiences from tripping then you should stick to other substances.

I have recently started tripping again (after a 3 year hiatus), and I am so glad I did. It is probably a good time in my life for it. My mood has completely changed for the better, as well as my social interactions and relationships. My head is clear and I can focus easier on assignments and anything else that requires it.

the answer is simple. liability.

if you provide information on drugs, or cultivation to a teenager and their parents find out, what do you think happens? a campaign against the shroomery.

the clause is there just so the shroomery can say "Well, our terms of service specifically states no minors are allowed to join." This washes the shroomery's hands of any liability.

This was a good survey- on a place like this its nice to see a big 'n' population for results. One limitation in this is that it is a study of a very specific subgroup (people on a drug forum). This could skew the results given that we can assume those on the shroomery are at least a little more informed than your general individual.

Nice job. It is very interesting to learn more about this community.

I really like this poll. I put that I use weed almost daily, although I haven't in the past 6 months, but I also haven't tripped in longer than that. During the time I was tripping though, I used weed almost every day. I don't feel that tripping has negatively affected my life overall; for a couple days after the trip, I usually feel a little fried, like my brain and body are trying to reset themselves.

Overall, I think tripping has made me a better person, even the more negative trips. I think if you go through something like that, and come out fine on the other side, it's only going to make you stronger.

As to flashbacks, Salvia to me is of way greater concern that serotonin psychedelics. With my limited salvia experience I had several clearcut Salvia flashbacks - and none on almost 250 trips in 16 years.

I agree that Salvia is a much greater concern. But I don't see flashbacks as a problem at all. When I'm tripping is when I'm truly sober. It's when I have no fears, no limitations. Peace. true Spiritual Peace. I've never had a bad experience tripping. So a flashback to me is just a glance back at a wonderful moment in my life. Idk. To each is own I guess. :awedance:

I haven't really tripped on shrooms much, only half a dozen times.

It's been about 3 weeks since my last trip.

In the last few days, I've been getting a really strange sensation, quite noticable, several times a day.

It feels like the very start of coming up, a little 'dizzy'. It lasts maybe 10 minutes, then I'm fine for a few more hours. I think I'm getting very minor visuals, things seem a little wavy for a second, but I'm not sure if I'm just imagining it (well, I'm imagining it anyway, but, you know)

It's a bit annoying, but isn't really anything strong, but noticable. I've never had anything like this before tripping, and I'm not (nor have I ever) been on medication for anything.

Honestly, I'm worried if I trip more, then it might get stronger. Though I have far too many shrooms to waste, so it probably won't stop me, all my trips have been awesome - with friends or solo :crazy2:

I took a hit of mescaline at a local music festival last Saturday, I'll post the trip report soon. But since that trip I haven't felt quite the same, I've seen grass shifting out of the corner of my eyes just a few days ago. And I still am in a very odd state of mind compared to what I was before. I can't say I'm really upset about it though, I feel more at peace than I have ever before. I can't wait to try mescaline again.

Is this really an adverse effect in that case? From the sound of it, you are experiencing what many people call the "Afterglow".

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have had such feelings for a week or more in the past. It could be anything really; something you ate, the way the trip affected you emotionally or mentally, ect. If it isn't a problem, I wouldn't think on it too much.

Mushrooms (to me) seem to be a metaphorical rag that polishes mind.
I have had several mild trips that were relaxed and at the most, anxious. However my last trip was all messed up. I was in an unfamiliar setting with a friend who, on top of having just had just had his head stapled up after a bad car accident, I had not seen since he experienced his parents divorce a year or two earlier.

I was not in a good place emotionally and psychologically either, added to which I ended up driving a car whilst peaking.

The most traumatic part started when I drove us all to the lookout next to a monumental-sized mobile phone tower where magnificent views encompass my entire city. It was a clear, starry night and when I looked out to space my whole world fell apart and I was just shit.

After the all-encompassing infinity of space attacked me and the psychic equivalent of my feet were literally swept from the ground, the figures of my friend's faces and bodies began to radiate out in the most intense coloured prisms, almost like the reality of their carbon bodies were being peeled away revealling light.

I saw ufo's and I knew I just had no choice but to deal with my reality shattering. I was completely in the 'tell friends to call the hospital' stage. Perhaps the only reason that did not happen, was because I had already had some experience with being involuntarily admitted to hospital by psychiatrists after my father passed away and, I suspect that may have helped me to have some courage to face what I was seeing. But that fact truly made it no less difficult.

I did my best to stomach the entire ordeal, keeping my experience a secret and 'under the covers' for years. It was just so powerful and I have only just begun to feel like I am *attempting* to integrate it into my life. My ego panics wildly to avoid reliving the full trauma of associating with experience, especially at night when I go for a walk and lift my eyes out to space.

So I consider the experience to be negative. I feel like I have done the whole Syd Barret thing and all I have to say is that I feel so completely stupid. I may have literally fucked up my life due to one *fatal* error in planning.

I am typing this now, but I am going to click 'submit' mostly in the hope of maybe reaching out to someone; not because i care to be laughed at by people who are smarter than me.

Someone laughing at another's bad trip would clearly not be smarter than you. The experienced tripper knows that bad trips happen- in fact, the bad ones can sometimes be the most influential in a positive way in the long term (the bad ones sometimes teach us the most about ourselves).

Staring into the stars that night could have been horrifying due to your psychological state, but the next time you look up there on mushrooms may be the most spiritual experience of your life. You just never really know.

Staring at the stars while on psychedelics (actually even sober sometimes) is about the only time I've ever felt that I've been able to actually grasp the concept of "infinity." What an amazing sense of wonder...

The only flashbacks I experience are extreme halos that come off of lights. They are so noticeable at night but I am not too worried about it. These are from countless 2c-E trips and 4-AcO-DMT trips. Any idea if these will go away if I sustain from psychedelics for a number of months?

Light effects (vision effects) come more frequently from chemicals with DMT groups, in my experiences. Should in no way be permanent.

But to be honest, I was expectgin more people to say that psychedelics made their function in the society worse.

Heh, hard to believe, I've tripped more than over half the people on this board ... but I was in the top percentage of age too, so I'd bet that has something to do with it. Anyway, it's good to be a member of such a kickass community. I just joined. I haven't tripped in 3+ years now (had a gf who hated drugs :thumbdown:

but was willing to compromise on weed). Well, she's an ex now, so I can once again explore the psyche. I plan to be an active member and contribute my own experiences while I benefit from the wealth of yours here. So good to be a psychonaut again. :evil:

Great poll, my only negative experience was my first and only trip on LSD, foolishly I took two tabs, as I was 17 and stupid. A dozen or so mushroom trips with ZERO negative effects, although many of my friends have had bad experiences with them.

I feel that my initial bad trip has inoculated me somewhat to 'the fear', but that is just a theory, and I don't assume that I'm immune to bad trips, but I'm better informed, more responsible and more respectful of psychodelics.

i recently had my most severe adverse effect from my use of psychedelics.
i've been tripping very frequently for the past two months.
quite a few marathon trips in there as well.
very frequently- and i full well knew the risk involved i just honestly don't afraid of that lol.
i've been taking extreme care of my body and mind by constantly exercising,
taking lots of vitamins and supplements (5-htp, melatonin, b1-12, among many others).
and for two months i tripped (usually VERY hard) two to three times a week.
and i felt amazing 24/7- at the greatest physical and mental peak i've been at in my life-
but last weekend i was partying with some friends and we decided to trip lightly so we did.
we stayed up through the night and the next day tripping and crashed sunday night.

what i'm getting to-->
i woke up this past monday morning and something wasn't right.
i was out of it.
:feelsweirdman:

i was in this fried out state of mind to somewhat varying degrees up until thursday,
and not feeling completely better until friday afternoon.

through it i fully realized that everything was kinda turned off, or distorted.
it was weird that i was doing chemistry and calculus more easily than i ever have..
but i was still behaving very oddly, my perceptions were so alien and retarded.
i was very happy the whole time too. with a very clear inner-voice and linear thoughts, which is uncommon for me.

possibly incidentally, but noteworthy-
the onset of this happened three weeks after i had stopped taking my bi-daily dose of 100mg of 5-htp.
i started the 5-htp again along with abstaining from pot (which aggravated it) on tuesday after i noticed the effects monday morning.
and on thurday night, the symptoms had been relieved, and by friday they were gone.

comparison and contrast of psilocybin and LSD??

The very first difference one has to keep in mind is one is natural and one is synthetic.

Having said that, everyone is different and in a certain set/mindstate/physical balance so things will effect everyone differently but usually there are parallels to the experience either noticed right away or discussed at a later time. I had a time period where I experimented with dxm and felt similar embarrassment because of it...but I also found a group of people online who were doing similar things and we would gather to discuss it and relay our experiences. So for me it became true research. I look back now being in my 30's and wonder what the fuck I as doing and why. I used to day dream about working in a Psychedelic Research Institute and that all these trips would come together and pop into the future all of these things we were experiencing...and it would be tangible. Well we are only a few years away from something that raised mckenna's eyebrows at the very least on that date I would like to feel immense hope. An overwhelming tidal wave of white light hope. Things will be pointing toward a better future....a broadening of horizons future. I concur that it has to start with medicine. Heal. Let the bubble burst forward into a dazzling display of ever changing possiblities all unfolding all over each other. A kaleidoscope of pathways interchanging and becoming and evolving. I do have to put out there that I need a new ally. Mary Jane and my anxiety issues aren't working well together and I've noticed a tendency toward alcohol more and more and I'm not happy with this. Tried kava kava and two different types of kratom to no avail. If anyone can recommend anything I can try in the evenings to relax, anti-anxiety, nice body buzz, peaceful time I'd be appreciative.

If you're not experiencing dark trips, you are sheltered IMO. Try getting high on acid and hanging out in the part of town where crack is the economic base. Try tripping around meth tweakers. Cops. The streets. That is where reality is people.

I consider society the antithesis of psychedelics. There is almost nothing psychedelic about modern culture. This is of course a matter of opinion. You can use psychedelics for whatever you want.

But I just think paranoia is ultimate awareness, and ignorance is bliss. My life changed when I travelled in Mexico as a child and saw the abject poverty of the people there living without sewage and water sanitation, digging through dumps.

Experiences like these almost invariably prevent me from being able to have a party /good trip. It is always an ego death.

This is a good thing IMO.

I disagree.

Close the curtains, trip in your bed, lying in darkness with your eyes closed. No music, no distractions. Lose track of your body as your mind wanders, be fully absorbed in the internal dimension together with the Mushroom, and whatever governs this Universe. Immerse yourself in an internal world that can be completely shaped by your organism interacting with the mushroom experience.

THAT is where Reality is.

Reality is whatever you make of it. However I prefer not to hide from outer space in things like meditation and, my self. Within the confines of my own trip I do not experience as much if any sympathy with others. I become a raging megalomaniac. To go outside of myself I must go outside.

Perhaps this is an affliction.

Wiccan are you serious because i did acid a year or more ago by myself in my basement and i started having what i thought was a heart attack, it pierced my chest so badly for so long i was writhing on the ground, couldnt even get to my phone or do anything, i really thought i was going to die. i kept getting panic attacks and the pain almost daily for over 6 months and then i would still get it sometimes, now i get it only really rarely but i am still scared to trip on acid.

Do u think it just happened because i freaked out or because of the mixes in all of those? ive done acid a couple times before and never had any bad experiences, in fact thats the only bad experience ive ever had with any psychedelic but at the same time its not what you would call a bad trip i would call it a medical emergency.

Also i know this is a long post already but when i do other drugs sometimes my heart will feel like it skips a beat, like its just weightless or something for one beat and then it will go right back on track, or sometimes even skip another beat like 3 seconds later. do you think i should be worried? i went to my doc and he told me i was fine and considering ive been tripping like once a week since the middle of the summer and im still alive, i kind of want to believe him and just say im over thinking things way too much.

if you're not mistaken, and your heart is actually missing beats that often,
something is wrong. it sounds like you might have ASD and i would definitely get a second opinion if only for comfort.
it's your body and you only get one- i personally would not take that kind of chance if i really knew my heart was missing beats that much.

#13320045 - 10/11/10 09:19 AM (1 year, 4 months ago)

Midnight-

I have been to the ER multiple times on mushrooms and lsd, thinking I was having a heart attack.

My heart would race uncontrollably, I would get chest pains. I kept telling myself 'its just the drugs' but it wouldnt stop so I feared for my life.

Over the years I have had EKG's and echo-cardiograms, (the latter is the most thorough picture of your heart), and the doctors said I was fine.

I do get skipped beats sometimes though, when sober.

Looking back I think that part of the reason why I had the chest discomfort is my history of smoking. Perhaps the lsd was not good either.

But what makes me wonder is that when I dis meth or MDMA, I would not get these problems (unless I was smoking meth). There was something about shrooms and LSD that was triggering something.

I have considered that perhaps it was just the psychosomatic effect of panic and anxiety. But even when I would go to a safe place ans lie down, my heart would feel like it was bursting out of my chest.

At one point I described it to the doctor thusly: "I feel like my heart IS my lung." I also felt like there was a hole in my heart.

They have found no such defect.

I think I may have smoked so many cigarettes and inhaled so deeply (I tend to SMOKE a cigarette), that I gave myself early stage heart disease. At the time of these trips, I felt like I had a heart attack as well, and perhaps I did have a small one, or multiple mild ones.

But I just don't know why I experienced this on LSD vs stimulants like speed and coke. I feel like at times for me psychedelics have been much more stimulating. Like they revved up my heart rate much more than speed did.

Anybody have any insight into this matter? I read somewhere once about a guy who experienced LSD exacerbating pre existing heart problems, but I dont know where.

The poll says a lot about both the forum and the spreading out of the psychedelics during the last decade or so. The "hallucinating counterculture" will not go away.

That's very interesting, I too get the feeling of a hole in my heart or having a heart attack on LSD. But it doesn't happen to me sober.

I've dosed quite a bit in the past few months, every two or three days for almost a month. And I have some strong feelings of being in an almost dream like state, especially when I smoke pot. My visions bubbles a bit in the dark and when I look at a pattern I see it when I look away.

But it doesn't bother me either, so I'll happily continue to dose and use other psychedelics.

you feel like you're having a heart attack when you do it and you still do it all the time? how can you cope with that? even if you dont feel like it sober its a terrible feeling..

and i also get the effects of the last drug ive done when i smoke pot, it used to be acid for a year i would see colors and trails, then i started doing MDMA so everything would seem really fuzzy and then go high definition and back(if youve done mdma you know what i mean by high definition) and i took mushrooms 2 weeks ago and now things seem to exist in a superposition like theyre in no definite spot.

these things dont bug me either, i consider it a bonus when i smoke weed. the sober visuals i get are mild and i only notice them about 3 times a day, they also dont bug me.

Anyone ever had what i'd almost describe as 'blackouts' from 3g+ doses?
It's happened to me on both acid and shrooms, I find myself in completely darkness, and if i try hard i can slowly see everything around me, but when i stop trying it just fades back to black.

Quite wierd.

I've never had it without psychedelics, not full unconciousness, its more like not being able to see anything, pitch darkness, can't hear anything. And i usually have very little memory on what actually went on, almost like a dream.

One side effect that I have noticed after tripping for the first time is that now I can see mushroom shapes in everyday life, and I just notice how much a lot of things look like mushrooms that I hadn't noticed before. Anybody else notice this?

My last shroom trip, from handcrafted and imported shroom chocolate, involved me powerchucking, the hitting the deck immediately after, but being fully aware, but completely unable to move or see. I was terrified, but not nearly as much as my mates who watched me in condition wondering whether to call emergency service. This passed after a while, i got up, and the terror was over and I had a terrific night thereafter!
Not the first time shrooms have rendered me paralytic either.

I would say my worst was when I decided to take 3 grams of mush at 12:30 am. At 230 am nothing was happening, so I took 2 more. I also had only slept for 2 and half hours in the past 48 hours. The combination of exhaustion and heavy trip was both terrifying and fantastic. I kept slipping into deep insane dreams. I wouldn't mind seeing this type of poll run on just the affects of Mushrooms. I have heard rumors of people having "flashbacks" but never a first hand story. Cheers.

I've never experienced any of the nausea, however, the come-up seems very uncomfortable to me. I can't look at the tv or computer monitor because its just too bright. I find myself curling up in a ball on the couch with my eyes closed for about the first 20 minutes of the trip; after that, pure bliss!

The come up on shrooms IMO is accompanied (but dose dependent) by nausea (sometimes to the point where i make myself throw up to "get it over with") anxiety ranging from levels of uncomfortable body load to panic level anxiety.

LSD come up is accompanied more of "feeling strange" and euphoria. With an interest in the onset cognitive shift, rather then anxiety associated with it.

I have only once had the nausea coming up. Otherwise I felt nothing, then maybe a few things started to wave a bit or some colours seem vibrant, then wham, it's been an hour and a half of sheer happy land. I have never experienced the anxiety. I have dosed half the time with capsules and half with powder and I find capsules slow and suddle, and certainly the easiest to take.

That's why higher doses of mushies are better as you come up quicker and have less time to be anxious. Hate the discomfort though,they wreck my stomach. They never used to.

This was a fun and enlightening poll. Love it! I was interested in the age range of the people in the shroomery community. A few old hands in here. Wish I could meet some of these wise elders in person. :pipesmoke:

Hi, This is my first post here! My name is Jay, and I'm excited to be part of this thread!

I would consider myself pretty new to tripping, although my first trip was back when I was 14 (I'm 18 now). I got sick from those shrooms and didn't trip again until last September on some pretty bunk acid. I then finally tried shrooms again this week and it was amazing and got my first real visuals. I also took some molly that night to top it off :evil:

On friday, I took my first proper acid trip and it was one of them most beautiful experiences of my life. I would consider it a level 2.4 trip,and I only took 1 tab of 125 mics. I still have 2 molly pills left and a tab. Can't wait!

I think molly mixes way better with LSD than it does with mushrooms.

I haven't trued that, but it sounds better. I took the molly after the trip was wearing off and I was at the beach at night with 3 of my close friends and I called a bunch of friends, and some girls (one of which I am gonna go hiking with this weekend! and she is fine as helll)

You can avoid the stomach issue on shrooms by making tea, it works for me on Semilanceata anyway!

What I do is get a standard tea-bag Tetley or PG-Tips or what ever. You cut off a corner of the bag and empty out the Tea-Leaves, repack the bag with your ground up dry mushies (you can easily get 4g in there, but I only ever tried 2g :rolleyes:

) now sow up the hole in the bag with a bit of thread and needle. Leave a length of thread for dunking the bag in your cup. Dunk the bag in to a half full cup of boiling water, gently dunk until cool.

I answered "A few times" to the question about passing out on psychedelics.

The same thing happened to me twice. On 22 mg and 25 mg of 4-aco-dmt (separate times, same repeat story), within 5 minutes of smoking a few bowls of weed, my vision rapidly turned colorful and bright, and then my thoughts seemed to race ahead of my mind, forgetting about standing, and collasping to the floor each time, for no more than 30 seconds. But it was a conscious fall, as if my brain said, "ok, it's time to go to the ground." Gracefully, by any standard.

I also smoked weed on a hit of acid, but a smaller amount and my vision did become more colorful and the thoughts more intense, but I did not pass out and the extra effects gradually went away.

Decent idea for a poll... I personally get very few adverse affects from shrooms. Probably the worst is the occasional case of nausea.

Hooray! I am not psycho after all! I actually don't notice any difference in my memory before or after tripping. If anything my ego is quite diminished, to my relief. Maybe all those politicians in office could use a little fungi therapy???

Anyone second that?

I'd second that, psilo81, but I'm not sure they would be carrying out their duties to the corporation(s) employing them in the wake of said therapies. :stoned:

Regarding adverse effects...
My dog "drank from his own well" after consuming some Amanitas he'd picked in Northern California and roasted over a fire in the desert, while drinking some infused into vodka... Indeed, he consumed "water from his own cistern" 3 or 4 times... recycling; and purifying.

This particular style of urine therapy did have some(very)devine moments, and was cleaner feeling than and as powerful as eating a much greater amount of Amanitas... so powerful, it knocked my dog on his butt.

Ever seen a dog "flying" on Muscimole rolling around on the ground and having a .22 shot around his feet after being bowled over from the power of the Amanita spirit, being concurrently intoxicated beer and vodka at night in the desert?
He doesn't really mind so much. :crazy:

That being said, how carefull and respectfull one must be...
of Amanitas and all living things.

Blessings.

I wonder how statistically sound this poll really is, considering the narrow group of people who answer it. The more negative effects people experience, the less likely it is that they stick to that lifestyle and less likely to hang around this site.

It's like standing outside a liquer store and making a poll on alcohol experiences. :shrug:

I've had some mental issues. I use to take paxil and stopped a few months ago. actually it was so I could do mushrooms, cause they don't work with Paxil. The withdrawl was horrible, and lasted a long time. I've had other stuff go on before I was on Paxil too.

Is tripping something I should do, or think twice about? Maybe a low does?

Itching... I'm itchy anyway but tripping seems to aggravate it. Scratching is something else when loaded though; scratching my itches leaves me feeling a strange sensation that I would describe as a "scratch tracer" in my skin. I never seen tracers in my vision! but I sure feel tracers when I scratch these annoying itches.

Wow, I didn't know so many folks are having bad experiences with psychedelics and having negative life effects. You know I think maybe I could have related to that in the past when I was about 19. I have had very diverse trips on all sides of the spectrum for the past four years. If you are getting down on yourself about tripping and drugs then you just got it all wrong. Take yourself out of the whole picture and than look at it. As for functioning in society, fuck that! These greedy pig headed bastards got it all wrong, you're not mentally ill. Fuck all this driving, jobs, college, and all that buttery shit. It's all wrong anyways. These savages have got you tricked. Buy a bike, a fishing pole, and some camping equipment. I mean I do work but I care way more about my health and the people I meet. I love getting involved with community. I think the mind is trying to tell you something if you're having long after effects of a trip or just bad thoughts in regular life. It's pretty normal but I suggest changing your environment fuck even your entire paradise if you can grasp such a thing. I don't advocate drug use or non of that. I think you can reach those heights without it really. But drugs do the trick for me.
What I'm trying to say is don't let this system choose who you are. I quit a long time ago. Next week I'm setting off and the greatest obstacle I've ever set for myself. I'm building a new and better bike than the one I have now and taking a bike tour to Canada from Tennessee. I owe a lot to psychedelics, books, and the colorful people I meet along the way. I don't really need psychedelics any more. Hell that's like a goddamn cup of coffee to me. Just another boost and somewhat of an escape. Good luck to all of you. I hope the ones who feel confused find their way. But let me leave you with this. You're a fool and you're blind if you cannot see that the light glows in the dark. And the greatest work of art well that's yer heart. <3 oh and it the words of charles bukowski "don't try"

Never had any problems in my life because of "true" psychedelics. Weed is a different story, I've had feelings of derealization and anxiety because of it. Also I think mostly because of the anxiety I've had some blurring of my vision but this is connected to either the weed or the anxiety, probably both.
I even get muscle pains that are completely unrelated to "real" pain. Just shooting, buzzing pain. I'm staying of the weed for now.

Only notacible effects of LSD or Shrooms is that I usually have the sensation of having a very clear mind, days or weeks after a trip.

I do remember first and only time I tried a phenetylamine N-methyl-2cb I had some patterning when closing my eyes some time after the trip, but I don't think it stayed with my for long, it just faded away I guess.

I don't know what state of mind I was in when I took this poll, but I wish I could go back and fix my answers for the purpose of accuracy.

Cannabis is the only psychedelic that has ever caused me problems. I got HPPD and anxiety from cannabis long before I had ever used any psychedelic.

I got it back in 2003-2004ish... a little before I registered from the Shroomery. To this day, I still have HPPD and anxiety issues, although I've learned how to deal with both. The HPPD is uber annoying sometimes. Oddly enough, I've tripped many, many times on a range of psychedelics... mushrooms, 2C-E, LSD, 2C-C, 4-AcO-DMT, DMT... none of them have worsened my HPPD symptoms.

Weird. Fuck cannabis. Haven't smoked since September 2009 and hopefully never will again. :smile2:

teck345 do you mean motorcycles when you mention 'bikes' or are you referring to the peddle push bike kind of 'cycle' ? great fun both these things are in my opinion :smile:

Society I gota say that I never did use and learn all about cannabis but I also have to say that cannabis has impacted my family severely in negative ways several times.

yeah dude bicycle! i do it everyday. smoke weed and i still consider tripping sometimes. as for hppd? is that right? well anyways my theory on hppd is that some people need more light stimulation and less time in front of the TV or computer screen. those tv screens are highly damaging to the eyes after long term use.

Well I answered this poll with tripping on dxm in mind.. I went on a binge were I did dxm a few days in a row and I ended up having a panic attack. It wasnt a fun experience and I feel it has affected me in a negative way. Although I have never had any really bad trips from shrooms or any difficult experiences, I do seem to see morphing/fractals/tracers every now and then, but nothing that really effects my daily life.

#14709756 - 07/03/11 04:06 AM (7 months, 8 days ago)

To clarify my post..

I have not tripped in 20 years (though I hope to soon).

Facts: there is not a drug on this planet I have not tried. (except quaaludes and I don't think they make them any more)
Smoked weed at 13, shot coc at 14, acid at 15 (fell in love with it)
shot heroine at 16, smoked opium 17, angel dust 17, mescaline, peyote, freon, hash, crack, mandrex, every kind of tranquilizer, codeine, crystal meth, etc.. etc.. by age of 18.

After doing all that shit, the only two drugs I would mess with is pot and acid/shrooms. Everything else is garbage.

I bet in the span of age 15-20 I dropped more acid than Ozzy Osbourne himself. Used to get some really kick ass shit from Baylor Texas Medicine (Blue star and New World/Global)

Acid I've dropped (that I can remember)
Blue Star (Baylor)
Double-dipped stretched checkerboard
Camoflauge (from Florida)
Stripes
Looney Tunes
Purple Haze
Window Panes
Lightning bolts (California)
Piggy w/ lunchbox
Global/New World (probably best acid ever.. from Texas)
Gator
shoe box
(and about a dozen others I can't recall)

I LOVE TO TRIP and I've never had a bad trip. I surround myself with people that I love, or I go into seclusion. If non-trippers show up and are agressive, or have a bad vibe.. simply leave and get to somewhere quiet. Avoid discussing religion or politics unless it's with your best friend and you can keep it non-hostile. About 8 hours into your trip.. that's when you'll begin to see walls breathe, and shadows sway.. watch the sunrise and contemplate the pretty colors, I remember thinking as a teen "How in the world is this only $5 to feel like this?"

In my opinion I feel LSD had the most reoccurring effects while sober. I had tripped bout 5-6 times on mushrooms and was clear the next day at my fast paced job. Only took LSD twice but after those times i have had a permanent "tracer" effect objects in low light situations. Its not in any way a handicap as i can see fine but its just something i noticed. Anyone else have a similar experience?

LSD does have a next day negative or neutral effects depending on dose and such. If anything, the day after psilocybin is uplifting (for lack of a better word).

Yeah but then one could argue a whole range of parameters would provide scope to such *research*, like socio-economic, cultural, genetic, ethno-biological information.

Unfortunately that would lead to an overly complex forum discussion. If it isnt already..

I haven't tripped in years. Did acid at 13, and pretty much like Shrewd, did about everything but no needle's. I loved acid and pot. Can't do the pot, own a trucking company, but do plan on grow some shrooms for myself. The only time I know of people having a bad trip was when they went in scared, or paranoid. If you think you will have a good trip then you do.

Awesome Poll, wish Id found it soon.
Im curious if theres a connection between the 'almost always' answers to the questions "Have you ever had what you consider "a medical situation" during a trip or resulting from it?" and "Have you ever fainted during a trip?"...also, Im assuming "Seeks Medical Attention" is tied to these same individuals.

It's a great topic bongo surely :thumbup:

and I would like to say that skin itching is the most annoying thing about psychedelics as far as im concerned and itching generally is the most annoying thing ever in my experience because its been with me as far as I can remember?.

I take shrooms for psycadelic enlightenment and always its itching that comes on first and it dominates the experience and diminishes it. Maybe I should consume more and hopefully be transported beyond realm of skin sensation? Next time :thumbup:

Dear Wiccan_Seeker, you're awesome [Re: Wiccan_Seeker]
#14886491 - 08/07/11 03:44 PM (6 months, 3 days ago)

Dude this thred is GNARLY
Wiccan_Seeker, thank you for putting in the work to make a poll that is not only very interesting and informative, but also insightful. Insightful into my own experiences and actions, and those who have posted above that may be somewhat like-minded (or should I say more-so likeminded than those on a different forum somewhere). I really have wanted to make something like this, but never knew how to break my questions down or narrow down the substances included in the query. Although, I will plug my thread "CANNABIS SUCKS" here...because it's my first post about (my opinion on) the adverse effects of ganja and I discovered this thread through searching for similar stuff. I thought my post "Cannabis Sucks" was relevant to this only because this thread does not include input on adverse effects of other substances. YOu've inspired me to clean up my thread soon and probably put up a poll if people think I should.
ANYWAY, my answers to your poll were in most cases cast for the least voted upon choices (never fainted or went to a hospital or anything like that though!). All the questions about having after effects and effecting social skills when sober....well I'd say I've had a really hard time being "normal" after tripping. Yes, tripping. The first time I tripped...since then I don't think I've ever come down. I tripped with the love of my life, both had our first mushroom experience together, and since then, I've been chasing the high and the girl. I began to think to myself, how could the most amazing, mind changing, transformative, experience I ever experienced haunt me for so long?
Well every woman-friend or substance I've tried since then has just distracted me I think..and now at this point, the after effects have CHANGED the memories of the actual experience. Now instead of being happy, I'm sad and I can't get back to that day, that intensity trip, connectedness, can't get the beautiful woman back who disappeared to Spain...or maybe in France by now. Fuck every time I go on this site I start rambling, but I read a lot of the responses on here so I thought why not share too. I could say more but I know im boring. The point is, thanks buddy for making communication happen!

Nothing against the poll experiment but i read and find it hard to give 'tick in the box answers' with the psychedelic experiences.

The ayahuasca experience is for me something i find myself wanting to stay in, i find a brillient intelligence within the affects of the plant mixture. I have noticed that with ayahuasca there is a destruction of ego, through surrender and control a whole new form of perception is available. Ayahuasca can be used to 'stay egoless' or stay with eyes open, its not such much hallicinatory after affects, it is more learning how to stay aware of those things that are seen using ayahuasca.

I think mushrooms could be used for the same purpose, but it is a case of opening up to the spirits and the shamans who know.

The western world lacks real shamanism and until there is authentic shamanism in the western world there will be no real comprehensive knowledge of the mushroom/dmt/salvia..

Reach out to the mexican shamans, reach out to the ayahuasca shamans because they can teach those few who are so inclined to be that way.

Experimentation alone will not make you a shaman.

Very interesting. only thing though, most of the people on here probably have had desirable effects tripping, and thats probably led them here. people who have only tripped once or a couple times, and had really bad trips and got scared and stopped doing it probably wouldnt be on this site. i wish this could be an actual study with funding. ive only heard of one recent one where they dosed patients and did follow up tests. the results were all positive.

Not many people believe me when I say that psychedelics have had slight adverse effects in my life. Sometimes I feel as if I'm experiencing forms of synesthesia that I recognize from a trip or series of trips. Also after the first time I tripped acid, yellow traffic lights have looked like bright flashlight or desk lamp lights rather than yellow street lights. This is very strange considering I did not see any street lights during the trip, but it was never like this until the day after the trip. We were in the mountains though and were using flashlights at night. Has anyone else had experiences similar to these? Did it ever go back to normal after a while? I don't mind these effects, but they are trippy.

I had a very powerful lsd trip when I was 18 it resulted in me quitting weed and not tripping at all for 2 years or more. The morning after the trip for the first time when I walked outside and saw the sunrise it was the most beautiful thin I had ever seen it was a blaze of color (obviously I was still tripping) but ever since then I've looked at nature and the things around me in a totally different perspective and have a much higher sensitivity to the world around me..it has never left me I can sit and watch a sunset completely sober and really see the beauty around me at all times. :bliss:

it's also made my shroom trips much more colorful and I seek out new things while tripping..I guess Inside I'd like to see just how far down that hole really goes but a little afraid of what I might find. Anyway Good poll and happy trippin fellas

this is exactly how i feel. i recently had a very strong DMT trip which has changed my life. i now see everything in a DMT fashion. i mean i dont have actual visuals or anything but everytime i look at a tree or some fallen leaves my perception of them is totally different. they almost look painted and surreal. the world seems as if it's on loose hinges sometimes. like the solid lines and contours we're use to have the ability to morph and adapt. really hard to explain, its just a perception, i have no HPPD or anything of that sort... but it's beautiful. life is simply beautiful since.

The adverse effects I have seen are created by a lack of discretion. The same lack of discretion in the 60's is what spoiled the scene for everyone. Leary at Millbrook playing "Guru" on the nightly news, Kesey and the Prankster's running Acid Tests, and so on and so on and so on.

Yes they were brave pioneers, but so "In Your Face" about it that it set back psychedelic research by half a century. I am ashamed to say its taken 50 years for the field of psychedelic research to recover from the 60's. I also gotta say that some of the "trip reports" I read are just as reckless.

L.S.Discretely. Nuff Said.
