Um, yeah....
I tripped last month and actually saw the result of this shit happening in the global “system” ... I just didn’t think it was going to be so soon.
Personally I think it’s Gaia doing to humans, what we do to bacteria. Gaia’s pissed, with us engulfing her skin like eczema.

Well I'm about out of weed, which I'm reliant on to treat anxiety and PTSD and I've decided to quit drinking so that I don't become reliant on it. The only thing left is psychedelics. I'm putting together a microdose regime to try and treat the anxiety but you'd better believe that I'm going to be taking higher doses periodically. There's a hell of a lot of things changing in the world and I intend to come out of it better than I was when it started. That means tripping in order to help deal with the emotional effect of all of this chaos.

Maybe...but definitely not by smoking anything like DMT or DPT...or even any weed. At 67 (and, as a life-long non-smoker) I want to keep my lungs as clean and healthy as possible until this COVID-19 bullshit resolves.
Too bad, too, because we are on lock-down...it's not like anyone is driving anywhere. Something short-acting because being stuck at home sucks. Maybe some mushroom tea?
The NICE thing is that ain't nobody gonna come near you, straight or sober!

I tripped last weekend. Was pretty spinny with all the stuff going on. Lots of fear in the air makes for pretty dark tripping.

Yep. Harvesting a mini-terrarium to make some tea later on this morning. Been itching for some psychedelic relief. I don't know how comfortable I would be tripping if I didn't live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska at the moment/ as thimgs are currently... I'm sure I still would, but there would be much less comfortability.

Alaska's a beautiful state; probably the best state to be in given current circumstances.

Fully agreed. I live totally off grid and we have a clean creek running through the property. Hard, tireless days of hauling and processing wood, shoveling snow, bucketing water down trails, tending to animals... but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Especially not now. I'm really appreciating the value of what we have now mroe than ever. Killer environment for tripping. So serene when there's down time. Yesterday evening I spent a couple hours sitting on the back porch alternating between wathing a moose eat my willows and gawking at a huge grey owl in the tree above me, watching a long sunset... Takes one's mind off looming pandemics. Not that I'm not still nervous. My mother in law lives next door and is severlely at risk (likely won't make it) if she gets sick, and we take care of a profoundly handicapped girl with a comprimised immune system, so it's hard to completely shake that feeling that something could go very wrong... even out here. Sure helps though.

God, it sounds like the life out there. My old man has a plot of land in Central Alberta and every time I get out there, I never want to leave. Incredible hunting and fishing. And yeah, things are pretty scary right now. All we can do is keep as clean as we can, keep the distancing up, and hope it all blows over. Stay safe, to you and your family.

Same to you and yours, friend. Fully agreed by the way: all that we can do is our honest best. I bet central Alberta is beautiful. I imagine there's some incredibly rich nature out there, and good, salt-of-the-earth people.

I just finished filling out my unemployment form. So, as shitty as things are right now - there's really no way around this other than to do what we are asked.. which is stay at home and don't have much contact with other people.
So I have 3 weeks to kind of just be alone and do whatever. I just think it's a weird time for me to trip right now because there's so much changing day by day here - it's quite shocking. I'm just waiting to start seeing military driving up and down my street
I may trip, not sure. But this is a very weird time in all of our lives - and not sure how I'll take it with all of this on the back of my mind. Have lost tons of money in the market, filled out my first ever unemployment form and they've closed all parks for me to "get out".
Sooooooo guess I'll see how the cookie crumbles lol.

It really does suck, Vibe_Enthusiast.
I’m at home now, 300 miles back today. Head really thick and dulled. 300 miles Sunday. 11.5 hours worked yesterday. Then No sleep - loud guest in B&B. In work at seven told to go straight home. Self-employed, they said last week they’d only pay me if I worked on site, not remotely.
So I’m hoping it doesn’t last much longer than 3 weeks. Can’t even find any rye grain online to start a new grow. Well not guaranteed delivery. My “set” is deteriorating by the day, but I know mushrooms will sort me the heck out. Think I’ll wait till the weekend, till we understand more the lay of the land, then take them late, when it’s real quiet. And obviously stay indoors throughout.
I’ll let you all know whether it was a good idea or not....

Yeah let us know how it went. I'm glad no one was asking if they should trip during the epidemic. Good too see you guys holding the free thinkers tent down.
I shall trip soon but I'm still about a month out from harvest. I would trip, absolutely. I'm lucky/unlucky to be working in the medical field so I have income. But I am expected on the front line. I do it for those that have nothing. I have a house(shack but it's mine), a job that doesn't really disappear so I gotta look on the bright side because there's dark days coming. Tripping is a valuable tool in my life. The chance to completely escape from all this constant madness is sacred to me personally. I welcome the relief that comes from a good stronger trip. I always feel at center after the trips. Life makes me feel spread out and thin but that jolt of being at peace is invaluable.

I tripped on Sunday and it was a beautiful experience sitting in my backyard. Watching the squirrels run and birds flying around while having crazy tracers and kaleidoscope vision. Caught some sunshine and some rainstorms which was therapeutic and enhanced the experience. Could hear the cars driving by in the distance, airplanes flying above and kids playing down the street so things kinda seemed normal in my area.
However, in the back of my head I knew many people were suffering around the world but I just focused on myself in the present moment and I still had a great trip.
The entire backyard and porch turned into a giant connected fractal with rainbow colors flowing through all of it. Looking forward to another trip in the near future, but it would be nice if everything got better before hand.
