tripping with a bad back is the sheeit!  I once broke my back snowboarding and had a buddy brake his back snowboarding the same week!?!?    we hung out  and ate shrooms everyday and played snes for like a month straight.  lots of psytrance and corny reggae.  you get alot more anxiety thinking about how it might be than when you just go for it.  the shrooms always melt away any anxiety I might have.  it may help you explore your limited mobility in new ways



I don't know what you experienced, but when I trip I get awesome pain relief,  it works so well that I tried to do it all the time but after a while the mushrooms won't let you take more, you have to stop.

Well you guys have inspired me. My gf is out of work with he flu until Monday and I have some doses in the freezer that she can eat. Might just make a night of it. I've just been worried that either A: it would put me in a bad mind set feeling like I can't move how\when I want, or B: j would ignore the injury and make it worse by moving in ways that I shouldn't.
I suppose I have been in worse places physically and mentally when tripping before so the road block in just in my head.


As for the methadone, I have heard tale of free clinics, but all the ones I have seen\attended were $100+ per week. An extra $400 a month is why I originally stopped. I just couldn't afford that and a place to live anymore. now however, I don't think you could convince me to put those liquid handcuffs back on again. I love the feeling, there's no doubt about that. and if I knew I somehow had a magical free supply that would never run out and I could take with me anywhere I went, then absolutely I would do it. The catch is though, once you're on it you're stuck. you want to go somewhere for a few days well then you got to convince them to give you a few days dose take with you. Or you have to go through hell while you're gone. The amount of Poppy tea I'm drinking right now is not a major concern. Just the realization that I have been relying on it to function for the last week or two is a thought that gave me pause; just a moment of foresight. For the record though, I have an instant pot on slow cooker mode that I throw the pods and just let him cook. I've had it running non-stop since this started and I am making myself a cup of tea as I type this.

@gizmo1- Ha, thank you sir! Perhaps one of the best compliments I have received, even if it was just a statement and not intended as one. There are plenty out there that have it harder than I, have seen more than I, but I love learning and experiencing and just being in this world in all the ways that we don't get to see. I hope by the end of this life, your assessment still holds true. :smile:

My rule with opiates is if its more than 2-3 days its a habit and I force myself to take some time off. I had an oxy problem in highschool though And lost about 8months of junior  year.. still graduated but yeah not good.,. That shit is waay too strong, now I just throw poppy seeds mixed into the veggie garden and sometimes do a hot water extract and reduce to a paste or a big goo ball.


I did make some poppy tea last night but I totally fucked it up by throwing in some aborts, was just enough to make me itchy and uncomfortable and the aborts made it weird mentally. To distract myself I Watched a dope AF movie called โ€œthe frameโ€ psychological thriller type, the two main characters were tv stars in each-others universe but were able communicate through the TV screen whenever they were both watchin at same time.. same director as โ€œinkโ€ if anyones familiar. Both are on amazon prime..

I confess... I used to sip lots of lean, as you can probably tell from my avatar. I stopped a few years ago when my teeth started to rot. Got hooked on Kratom last summer when I realized it was pretty much the same as codeine, but cheaper, easier to get and wouldnโ€™t make my teeth fall out. I was taking a break from ganja and just needed to fill the gap. Now i only keep small amounts around of Kratom around for injuries and pain, I havenโ€™t used it in months. Weed and shrooms only for me these days. Weed keeps me happy and shrooms keep me focused.

If I didnโ€™t get back into mush cult i would of jumped back into the harder stuff for sure. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Like some kind of a sign, the 3yr old MSS PESA I have been working on saving fruited today and the first micromono is ready for harvest. I think I will be eating some of those tonight to enjoy my efforts, celebrate my saving of these genetics (given to me by a friend for this purpose and beyond excited to send them some fresh spores) and try to get my head right. I've been stressing so much lately about so many things. This is the time. Things have fallen into place. I would be arrogant to ignore this point in space-time. Thank you all! I have doses for my girl, fresh PESA and some Tamp stones for me, some less than pure DMT stashed away... I think tonight I will visit the stars; It has been too long since I talked to my brother

What about natural wild cats? Cougars, bob cats etc... are they terrible for the environment? Not trying to be a dick just trying to get to the bottom of this cat thing lol

My community has a stray cat problem. We are currently fundraising to get them ALL nurtured and spayed. It all started with two or three feral cats. Now we easily have over 20 maybe 30.

I saw a thing where they did a study in England with cats, and they killed an absurd number of animals. Theyโ€™re like an invasive species. Theyโ€™ve wiped out a lot of smaller prey species, but the main thing youโ€™ll hear about is birds.

Cats are a problem in that theyโ€™re unique because theyโ€™ll hunt constantly for fun.

That's probably a fraction of a percentage to animal farming alone.

I mean you arent wrong, however these would both be considered straw man arguments. Where you set up another argument and refute it or change the topic of discussion to something else instead of reacting to the evidence presented.

Well you think animal farming is bad for the environment? Well you drive a car right?!


(As far as the impact of farming goes it doesnt matter whether you grow corn or beef if youโ€™re doing it in a destructive fashion. )

Keeping your cat indoors is a very actionable step. And it isnt about that being the main problem with human cities, just one of many.

The argument was what impact cats have on the environment given by the number of feral cats and how many wild animals outdoor cats killed per week.
Their math to begin with wasn't valid and then they went on to argue:
Quote:

According to their calculations, outdoor cats killed somewhere in the ballpark of 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion small mammals in the U.S. per yearโ€”far exceeding any other human-influenced cause of avian death, such as pesticides or collisions with windows.



And I was simply saying that 'other human-influenced causes of avian death' were probably far outnumbering that of their anecdotal number of those influenced by outdoor cats.
I didn't go into any evidence about what the impact of farming was. It didn't seem like the time nor worth my efforts too much.

They, too, don't go into any evidence about what the impact of pesticides are.
Nor do they even mention other, more devastating, human influences.
Quote:

DDT has never been known to wipe out a species, while cats have been implicated in at least 33 extinctions thus far.



Yeah, cats have, per this article, only been known to wipe out one species. I can't find specific numbers on it, but DDT (just one pesticide - not even the most threatening) has also been implicated for many extinctions.

That whole article was largely just sensationalizing one ecologist's finding and discounting the criticisms that it received and then haplessly validating it with a nice smattering of deceptive language.

Quote:

Science might be able to tell us how many animals cats kill per year.




Yeah, if you actually provide the right data to input into the right equation.

I don't see anything straw man about my original statements in relation to the argument. They were specifically relevant.


I confess, I'd rather be talking about mushrooms... sorry, thread.

I was bummed I didn't get it). Eventually I couldn't afford it and had no choice. I was dosing at 90mg, got down to 45mg over the course of 2 weeks and then stopped going. That was the most painful, miserable, and just all around terrible and difficult event I have gone through. I say that because it has given so much strength and will power to know I made it through it but also gave me a very good reason to never want to be there again.
I am nowhere near that point, but I know where it can lead.

Long confession and not entirely cult related so please don't let me get us off track. :smile:




tripping with a bad back is the sheeit!  I once broke my back snowboarding and had a buddy brake his back snowboarding the same week!?!?    we hung out  and ate shrooms everyday and played snes for like a month straight.  lots of psytrance and corny reggae.  you get alot more anxiety thinking about how it might be than when you just go for it.  the shrooms always melt away any anxiety I might have.  it may help you explore your limited mobility in new ways



Who are you. You got lots of stories bro. You must have lived a crazy ass life so far lmao.




hehehe... yup, and I got lots more!:wink:  my life is like a cartoon movie.    having a bad back really does suck tho I broke mine twice.  the lack of sleep is what can really get to you.  mattress topper!!!

also I confess I once jumped into a bonfire trying to follow the future people back through their time portal and got 2nd degree burns all over my arms and legs:facepalm:
