Hey guys,
New here but I just wanna say I love the shit out of this community and what you got going here! And I don't even know anybody yet... I've come here from a different community (HipForums)as I've been browsing the web for the past few months looking through various psychedelia focused message boards and trying to settle on a place to call home. This place seems to have the highest concentration of intelligent people, and tons of users so there's plenty of up to date discussion topics and activity. A lot of psychedelic forums I've been on are pretty small time, so often times it'd take a couple days for somebody to even come across your post and respond. Loads of activity here, which is awesome! Anyways, just wanted to give some props and introduce myself (I know I'm not in the right place for that- but I'll swing by there and make a post too )
Back on topic.
I too feel the call to get back in there and get my feet wet again. It's been probably close to a year since I've tripped on anything... I did MDMA twice over the summer at music festivals, but other than that I haven't tripped in close to a year.
I follow Terence McKenna's approach; substantially challenging doses, rarely (or at the very lest infrequently). I try to shoot for the 5 gram mark with mushrooms, but sometimes I chicken out and go 4... I have no experience with DMT, and have tried a few of the analogue phenethylamines and tryptamines, but my choice is LSD or psilocybes. The last time I took mushrooms, I did a 5g dose and it really put me through the wringer...it was good and I needed it, but man did it take me a while to get on top of it and let go and let flow. I prefer to trip alone (especially if its a large dose), thus I was by myself and I made sure to not even bring my cell phone with me to the location I tripped at (it was outdoors in a serenely beautiful natural setting in the forest next to a pond) and its a DAMN good thing I didn't because there was a point there where I was considering attempting to call for help or doing something else stupid and unnecessary, instead of just working with the psychedelic and learning and growing from it. The sheer intensity of the onset really threw me for a loop, and I got into one of those thought patterns where you start thinking "what time did I ingest it?", "how long is this going to last?", "how much time has lapsed since I last checked the clock?" etc... and as you all know, this is NOT the way to meet the experience when it goes left on you.
Anyways, after a while (not sure how long) I was able to give myself over to the flow, drop my preconceived notions of what the experience should be and what it should do for me or offer me, and get back on a more positive and natural energy flow and then I was able to really get some work done, dig deep in my soul, contemplate the universe, address and resolve (or at least acknowledge and ATTEMPT to resolve) personal issues and interpersonal conflicts, etc.
Really got a lot out of that trip, got a lot done if you know what I'm sayin. Really spun me sideways and made me re-evaluate everything for a couple months following that. As I said, this was close to a year ago, and I think it's time I get back in there with a strong dose of a favored psychedelic (I'm a psilocybe guy). It's definitely not an easy thought though, just thinking back to my last trip gives me some pause... but I'm like this every time after a substantial dose and really have to have my ducks in a row before getting back into those turbulent waters.
But I too fell the tug of psychedelia calling me back. Soon!

Crazy that you said it's this time of year. Just in the past week alone I have been religiously on this site and getting that weird kind of "tingle" in my brain like i must get my hands on some shrooms which are pretty much impossible for me. But fall is indeed, in my eyes too the perfect time of year. perfect weather, crazy colors on the trees with the leaves falling, halloween coming up with all the costumes and masks... Glad i'm not the only 1 who thinks the time of year affects my minds need for psychedelics

Have you ever had any scares with piss tests while in the army? I also sold my soul to the army and am counting the days until I am free again and can actually live my life. Always paranoid to mess around tho unless it's the 1st couple days of leave where I know I'll have a week to clean out my system and get my head back to where I can try and wrap my brain around the hell I have to come back too and all the mindless sheep that I am forced to work with every day.

god damn man. I was thinking about joining the army for the perks of them paying for tuition/books, but my god... Is it worth it?
Coming from a highly sensitive person, who hates doing meaningless dumb things. I'm more of a deep person, the army just sounds like the complete opposite of... me.
