    indefinite pause from trips

    Yes, this is true. About a decade ago I read about an exercise which involved smiling for a minute or more every morning. You can do this by simply saying "eeeee" (in Dutch "iiiiii"). Your face may start hurting the first couple of days, but then your smiling muscles will become stronger, which...

    How to prevent people you know from abusing psychedelics?

    I guess warning about the dangers of doing them the wrong way is one option, but a better strategy might be to make them enthusiastic about the benefits of doing them the right way. Explain why the seemingly boring setting of staying inside, even with the lights off, and with a friend who...

    indefinite pause from trips

    True, but I wasn't talking about a bad experience, but bad feelings. There's nothing wrong with having uncomfortable or scary feelings. If a person is having such sensations, distracting them isn't always useful or beneficial. By simply focusing on what's really bothering them, they will resolve...

    I think such programming borders on manipulation and deception, and so should be avoided. I understood what you meant, and I agree with all of that, but people shouldn't think that sugar is always going to be effective, and so they should really consider carefully whether they want to do...

    Doing normal things on LSD

    I've done the following things on acid (every time one blotter or less) when I was younger and more reckless: engage in a conversation with my mother as I radically reorganized my room, do my math exam and pass, participate in a family dinner in a fancy restaurant, and board an airplane without...

    indefinite pause from trips

    ????!!!!!! Sugar is NOT going to take away bad feelings, that's a myth. A myth that's OK for ambulance personnel, but not for those who should know better. Why stop the bad feelings in the first place? Not sure what you mean with "when and where", but it sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

    will this asceticic practice bring ASC & hallucinations?

    Why do you want to get hallucinations? None of the things you mentioned will get you anywhere. But if you're searching for alternatives to psychedelics (because they're not available to you), look into holotropic breathwork. A couple of hours of deep, circular breathing (of course with...

    indefinite pause from trips

    He should have known the answer to that question long before. That's one of the first things you discuss before giving someone a psychedelic. A placebo? Because there's nothing that can really stop a trip, except drugging someone into a state that's extremely undesirable from a psychological...

    That does it! My thoughts are confirmed again and again: social trips are dangerous. First there was MindAstronaut who was with a group of friends in a forest and during the peak fell from a tower, then there was the get together of Ed and magickmumu that went really wrong, and now there are...

    DMT and Health - Question.

    Yes, definitely. I generally use the word therapy in a very broad sense though, ranging from solving emotional or physical problems, to the gaining of artistic inspiration, and philosophical or spiritual insights, all of which (and more) are also described in the book "LSD Psychotherapy".

    What are the penalties for selling tobacco to someone under 18, or for someone using tobacco before they're 18? There should not be harsher penalties for cannabis. In fact they should be lower as far as I'm concerned. Drug testing should be on the basis of the symptoms of intoxication, just...

    Ergot, the fungus from which LSD is synthesized, can induce uterine contractions. That's why pregnant women should avoid LSD, but might use ayahuasca (which is a common practice) or mushrooms.

    DMT and Health - Question.

    Not my realizations, I wrote "a sober person who has truly realized ultimate truth, during his or her own high-dose trips, or at least some aspects of the truth".

  37. C

    DMT and Health - Question.

    No, it's actually the other way around. It's a confirmed scientific fact that it's produced in the lungs and other organs, but it's part of a theory that it's produced in the pineal gland. Also, the idea that DMT is involved in REM sleep and NDE has of yet not been confirmed.

    That's why one should trip in the company of a sober person who has truly realized ultimate truth, during his or her own high-dose trips, or at least some aspects of the truth.

    There are a lot of people who prefer 5-MeO over N,N-DMT. I think it's bullshit.
