Honestly yeah that’s an important act of maturity. I love acid, but I waited until I was ready for it. I haven’t done it in years but it was hugely helpful for my self improvement during a difficult and transitional stage of life. Too early and it may not have gone so well
I mean, unless you also have some molly…
But yea otherwise i am done with acid.
Most likely.
…anymore
Nah, I just don’t know where to get drugs.
Search for the dark net bible.
Not that i stopped, and would absolutely have either if the opportunity ever presented its self again (probably not). I found that the older you get in general just makes it harder since, at least in my experience, you have way more to worry about that eats at you. Closer to death, more health issues, money could be worse than before, wife/husband and possibly kids to worry about. Stupid things i did in my early 20’s would never fly today just because I think things through way more and realize how bad those things were back then lol. Thankfully the few times i was able to do these things were all great experiences despite that, and its most likely to being with good friends who also joined.
Yeah that’s what’s stopped me…I used to trip the light fantastic, but anymore, the thought of ego death isn’t liberating, and as I’ve gotten older my background anxiety (set) seems to only go in one direction. Kids, House, work, etc… it’s a little late for me to tune out and drop out
damn, its been a few years but i hadn’t considered all that extra baggage weighing down a trip now that i am older.
but i think i am due for it. i think it is healthy to have a nice safe trip in a good environment.
i always feel so refreshed for like… 3 months-ish? after a trip
Then doing it anyway.
Oh you’re afraid of yourself? What’s next? Afraid of peanuts?
I am stable enough but I don’t have the time :(

I’m just too tired and busy. I had 4 tabs of acid in my psychedelic cupboard. Someone gave me more, now I have 7. One of these years I’ll get away and trip my balls off in a forest, but it’s not this year.
DMT only takes 15min 🫠
Why would you wanna trip balls in the forest? That’s how you become an acid trip for a bear.
It really depends on the forest but that’s where the best trips can happen.
You must not have heard of the Electric Forest Festival.
There are some bears, but not that kind.
I have. I figured there’s a lot of folks there. I mean more like by yourself.
Still personally, I wouldn’t. But I also have really bad luck. If it can go wrong for me, it will.
I’ve done both. Day tripping by myself in a hammock looking up at the pines swaying in the breeze, shit, I sat on the ground and just stared at lichen for a long time lmao. There’s nothing like it, incredible. But if I’d run into a bear, I’d have lost my shit lol.
I’d feel much less lackadaisical about it if I lived in grizzly country.
Acid i could handle rn, but mushrooms are out. You can just kinda have fun on acid, but eventually mushrooms make you face things
IF I have like 10-12 hours, I’d take acid over mushrooms any day of the week. So much more predictable, and as someone who has little interest in microdosing, it’s a more controlled experience.
I’ve never had a bad time on acid, but I definitely have with shrooms.
Acid is streets ahead of mushrooms in terms of intensity, for me. But I know it’s different for everyone.
streets ahead
Pierce, youre supposed to be dead
I can’t handle either anymore, really, but acid over mushrooms is wild to me. The amount of time, the comedown…
Maybe you’ve never had access to high quality mushrooms then? Being from a place where they can be bought in a store, quasi-legally, I won’t eat more than a couple grams of the stronger varieties, because 2 grams will already make me see sound and hear colour. And I ain’t no light weight.
But a couple tabs of acid, sure. I’ll be vibing hard, definitely acting pretty dumb. But reality will not melt before my very eyes. Might see some cool colours and what not, but it’ll always remain controllable. The problem is always the length.
Now DMT is a whole 'nuther thing. 5-10 mins of, holy shit I’m not even on earth anymore, and then BAM, back to reality. It’s quite nice.
I could just as easily ask if you’ve never had access to high quality acid.
Sorry, didn’t mean to sound condescending.
But yes I definitely have. That’s the cool thing about things, everyone can have their preferences and that’s alright.
It’s all good. People react differently too. I generally enjoyed mushrooms more, but I always found the hallucinations more tethered to reality-- nature mostly. Like seeing all the patterns and fractals in the trees or waves. Feeling the breathing of the earth. I’ve had trips on acid where I felt physically and emotionally “normal” but I had 100% visual hallucinations. Like the entire setting around me transforming into something else entirely. And not in a way that I could “shift back” away from.
That’s interesting, and I get what you mean, although I’ve definitely had similar experiences on shrooms where I was “locked” out of reality.
One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that being sound of mind is extremely important when it comes to doing hallucinogenic substances. As someone who is generally very low in anxiety, this normally is not an issue for me, but my few bad experiences have all occurred during times of emotional instability.
Yeah I’m naturally quite anxious. In my younger days, I would find relief in weed and psychedelics. At some point they began to amplify it :(
Sounds like it’s time for a business trip then.
I’d like to try dmt, but don’t have any connections that I trust because we’re all too old.
I wish I’d had access to DMT when I was actively doing psychedelics. Seems like it got really popular in the last few years. I had friends that were selling DMT vape pens.
DMT is great. It’s so short and forceful you don’t have time to have a bad trip. My most difficult times on mushrooms, LSD, or various 2C-x compounds were because I had time to think.
There’s no time to think on DMT. One second you’re sucking on the vape and it tastes funny, the next second every thing is melting, you have to close your eyes, and some entity is comforting you and welcoming you back, despite this being your first time.
Maybe one day… I first read about it in the mid 90s in a Terrence McKenna book (True Hallucinations),and a few years later in The Spirit Molecule. For now, I can tolerate minidose mushroom gummies at a concert haha.
It’s a very interesting substance. The short duration is a blessing, if you’re uncomfortable just wait 20 minutes and you’re sober again. You’re never going to be locked into hours of thought spirals. I’ve had more difficult experiences with cannabis than DMT.
Yeah that was always a major appeal for me, and something that has held my curiosity even though I can no longer enjoy psychedelics or cannabis.
So does acid, at least for me. Haven’t done shrooms though
I’ve never done acid but I did shrooms twice and haven’t had the balls to try again.
The first time was ok, but the second time, come-up anxiety was so intense I spent the entire trip throwing up, shitting my brains out, and having a panic attack. I can’t do that again, but I’m still full of anxiety, so… nope.
Someday id like to try an extract, I’ve heard the mushroom itself is where the anxiety and gastric discomfort comes from, but yeah I’m just not really motivated in case thats wrong.
Microdosing is also great. And so cheap/easy with acid.
do it anyway
Maturing is realizing you’re not mentally stable enough to do acid.
Wisdom is doing it anyway.
Or shrooms apparently between the nausea, inability to control my body temp and the crying I don’t want to do it again
I’m to mentally stable to do acid.
we’ve run into a paradox where nobody should do acid
