Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I'm adopted and not sure about my genetics other than knowing my biological mother died of dementia but you do need to me careful with a family history of schizophrenia. I assume you are beyond the age where it's likely to hit but very good of you to share the potential dangers with your kids. My avatar is Syd Barrett who consumed mass quantities of LSD and obviously things turned out badly for him. I did large amounts of acid and did it everyday for over a month my first year of college and even though there is a quick buildup of tolerance, I was steadily increasing the dosage and realized I needed to take a break for a couple of weeks as I was really starting to lose it. I had some pretty intense flashbacks for a couple of years afterward.



I've wanted to do Ayahuasca since reading about it in the Psychedelics Encyclopia in high school but was a little concerned about the dangers of MAOIs due to my frequent usage of other psychedelics but subsequently found out the vine itself is a RIMA which isn't as dangerous as a MAOI. Would also like to one day smoke some DMT or changa. 4-ACO-DMT at a high dose (beyond 35-40 mg) is believed by some people to be like a light DMT trip but lasting like 6 hours. o_O

I took around 30 mg the time I witnessed my funeral. Probably won't take that much again. 😁



The bike light sounds a bit like what people are doing with things like Mindplace Kasina glasses or like the Lucia light:


I'm planning on building something similar one day that I can sync to binaural beats (and not spend like $20,000 on it!)

Would also like to try out a sensory deprivation tank while taking a small dose of shrooms or 4-ACO-DMT or ketamine like John Lilly. I've been in one once but only for an hour and was not on any drugs at the time.

Very interesting link and it is similar to my lower budget methods. The sensory deprivation tank would be neat but might be a little scary on a high dose of LSD, psilocybin or stronger synthetic hallucinogens. I would consider, and recommend, low level doses or milder chemicals for a first time experience in that setting. Ketamine was interesting and super fun at clubs or parties in the right dose and would probably be very cool in the sensory deprivation tank. I didn't like the helpless feeling of being in a K-hole, though. I hope you share any experience you have if you pursue that in the future or experience Ayahuasca.

An experienced LSD user like yourself understands your ideal situation and that a strong "understanding of self" and a healthy amount of love for yourself is very important to a good experience alone, just like being comfortable with your environment and tripping partners is important for a good experience in a group setting. Many people don't understand that and have a bad time. People who are not able to self evaluate honestly or don't have a healthy view of themselves have no business with strong hallucinogens and, if they partake, should do so in small doses under the care of a professional. Those individuals tend to do better with moderate doses of mushrooms or pure MDMA and can really benefit from them.

I always enjoyed LSD or a LSD/MDMA mixture the most. It was great for my mental state and left me feeling clear headed and focused on priorities afterward. I did have a period where I partook too often to the point that I had to greatly increase dosage and would be bored while tripping. I tripped 200+ times from age 15-20 and dosed over 30 hits once, though it was after dosing 10 hits the previous day. And it was strong silver liquid.

I had the mentality of "I'm going to push the limits of my mind to prove that I'm not crazy like my parents and my mind can't be broken." Not very smart of me but being raised by a parent that was abusive due to her mental illness caused hallucinations while also being told by my grandparents from a young age that I risked insanity if I ever experimented, even just pot, made me very defiant. My family meant well but the constant reminders, some from my psychiatrist grandfather, mixed with the embarrassment of being a child with a mother whose behavior I had to manage and a father too insane to live outside of an institutional setting put a chip on my shoulder that lead to poor decisions as a way of coping.

But I'm in my early 40's now and I feel well equipped to teach and unconditionally support my children in a way that my parents were not so that they don't succumb to the pressures that late teens and people in their early 20s experience which lead to many of them spiraling out of control.
