    Are we going to make it?

    I think there is reason for hope. Hope because we've discovered cleaner energy sources and gained deeper psychological insights, and psychedelics have become a global phenomenon, with the body of knowledge describing their effects and applications quickly expanding. Outdated religions are...

    Salvia and persistent psychosis

    But then what gave rise to his psychosis or his schizophrenia? Of course there's no simple answer to that question, but here too the birth process is an important factor. If you want to read more about this (the relationship between the birth trauma and mental disorders), get yourself "LSD...

    Salvia and persistent psychosis

    Wow... This correlation between birth and later mental states seems to be confirmed again and again... I'll write more about it tonight. I just got an unexpected visit from an old friend. The one I had my most intense LSD experience with, way back in 1992. :D

    Don't NIN and Soundgarden also use heavy distortion? I find most stonerrock (Nebula, Queens of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu, the Atomic Bitchwax, Monster Magnet) very melodic, soothing and uplifting. It has nothing to do with hard rock or black metal. Well, very little at least. I really like this...

    Salvia and persistent psychosis

    I doubt it was the strength of the trip. What were the circumstances of the trip? Is there a way for you to figure out how his birth has been? Can you ask his mother about that? There's a theory (Jacobsen et al, Stan Grof) that violent types of suicide are related to particularly difficult...

    There are a couple of factors that may be involved here (and this isn't a complete list): - There are many more other psychedelics available now. In the sixties it was mainly LSD, nowadays the hippies are all growing shrooms or manufacturing RCs. - Related to the above: in hippie circles...

    Vaporising temperatures

    At 205 degrees I generally don't cough (at the end I suck in some fresh air to clear my throat) while it did make others cough. So if sucking in some fresh air at the end of each inhalation doesn't help, and especially if your herb gets scorched, lower the temperature until you can keep the...

    I have no time to read this article, but I've heard about it before, from Jonathan Ott too.

    Ego softening techniques

    Yes, that's what someone who is me also does sometimes. You can really squeeze out a lot of extra vapor if you increase the temperature at the end. But to get a full-fledged instant high (vapor with a balanced mix of THC, CBD and CBN) I think it's best to start off with the temperature set...

    If the vapor makes you cough, lower the temperature until it doesn't. With the vaporizer I use this is usually around 210 degrees Celsius. Lower temperatures will release less THC. Don't throw away the spent remains. Collect it and make weed butter. I still have to do that myself. I've got...
