Holy shit! I haven't posted here in about two years now and I feel like it's time to come back to some kind of psychedelic/philosophical community to share and affirm ideas and all that business. I miss that ebb and flow of ideas and psychedelic support that can be hard to find where I'm living...
Raw Veganim,or the "Jungle Diet" are the optimal diets for the human digestive system. Eating raw fruits, veggies, nuts and grains are the easiest for your system to process and the least of impact on the planet, if you were to eat locally.
You can get B12 from supplements and fortified foods as a vegan. The soy milk I drink has 50% of my day's need in 1 cup :D I'm not sure how the vegans in India would get it, so maybe the whole thing is bogus. When you get down to it, there's not a whole lot that a human really NEEDS, it's all...
That's a good point of view. No one can tell an individual what they can and can't do with their own body, it's a fundamental human right and it's why we're still in the dark ages.
The thinker sits and thinks, a philosopher (lover of wisdom). I think the better archetype is "The Seeker", we seek and not necessarily through thought alone.
I'm with Kesey, but only in the shamanic context. The dangers associated with psychedelic use are only seen in the materially developed world because we've taken the experience totally out of context. There is no guide, no ritual safety net and as we've seen in the 60s, a great many people are...
It's truly a beautiful piece of artwork. I downloaded a copy a couple weeks ago and have really enjoyed flipping through the pages after vaping some good ganga. I read it the same way I read Finnegan's Wake, since I can't understand it I purely appreciate it as beautiful poetry.
I totally agree. If you know yourself, the mushrooms are much more... constructive I would say (certainly in a psychonautic sense) taken alone either wandering in wonder on a small dose or laying down and meditating on the mushroom in darkness. I find others distracting and hard to communicate...
I have a friend who swears by the effects of various essential oils. He has fibromyalgia and OCD and uses the oils to self medicate to positive effect. He's told me about a particular experienced that described ego death when he diffused sandalwood oil in a small room and meditated.
Just use...
The essential oil should include A-thujone, B-thujone, camphor and cineol. If you diffuse that in a small room, or inhale from the bottle you should feel effects.
Heat and light will destroy the LSA, so a cold-solution (or low-heat, as in no boiling) extraction is recommended. See this report and others for a better extraction than water: (http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=10186). Use the Erowid experience vaults to study up, it will greatly...
Research tells me that the other parts of the plant are not as consistent in alkaloid content as the seeds. The ratio of scolopamine to hyoscyamine will affect the experience, so I would advise sticking to this reliable source rather than gamble on the alkaloid soup that could be in other plant...
Only when you take preparations that include the leaves or stems. The traditional powdered root has been used for thousands of years with no ill effects when used in moderation. Avoid any extracts unless they explicitly state "root only" or something to that effect. Problems arose, as usual...
A set of mantras like IJC's is good. I wrote up a personal manifesto with some guidelines on how to live, that I meant to read every morning/night as a sort of prayer deal, I think I will commit to that now. Besides that I have a prayer I say at the taking or losing of a life, usually only when...
Well, I have had a long period of learning about the benefits and positive outcomes of this lifestyle choice. It is very holistic, in more ways than you can realize without some deeper consideration. If you won't watch the clips, please read below and hear me out :) Do it with an open mind and...
I'll second every bit of that. I've been doing the bedside notes thing for a very long time and it's huge as a sleep aid, you just need to know where to draw the line; "OK, I've done enough projecting and thinking for tonight. Now, sleep." I've used it mostly for bits of poetic stuff that I...
Oh I WISH I was free man, this winter I'm landlocked and I've set it aside for psychedelic voyages. Won't be taking much time off until the summer after next I'm afraid, need money to build up for a grand adventure :D
Well, if we are both saving the aya and iboga ceremonies till later, maybe...
Weakness.
IJC put it right, it's all try. The energy you broadcast is contagious, when you emit positive constructive energies, other people feel this and we start moving in the right direction.
Costa Rica? I would go somewhere in central or south america for sure man, go to Peru and take an ayahuasca ceremony :) That's big on my lists, or perhaps iboga in Gabon.
Thanks yngvie and arimane. 69ron's experiments are what gave me the inspiration to try this out. Like he and you pointed out, the seeds are much more uniform and dependable in their concentrations than any other parts of the plant.
I found Datura metel on my trip and started at one seed...
I try to get eight hours most days and usually do. This adds to my detachment from western culture by being in bed early :shock: in respect for my body and with a little thought for tomorrow.
The mainstream western culture is as a spoiled child with no respect or discipline. I think this is the fundamental reason why SO MANY things are wrong with the world and our improper use of marijuana is a small facet of that. When I was first introduced to cannabis I had a realization that it...
Thanks for the support and kind words man. I've been out on a trip in the southwestern deserts for two weeks and had no psychotropics beyond Datura seeds most nights and coffee some mornings. Before the trip I had abstained for various periods of about two whole weeks and one week between...
I'm headed to the deserts of SW USA tomorrow for two weeks, so I'll be offline for a while, if anyone cares :P
When I come across them, I'm going to try chewing up to three Datura sp. seeds about an hour before bed to get some vivid dream action. I understand there are several species...
I have never looked at mass media while on psychedelics. But the psychedelic experience opened my eyes, expanded my thoughts so that I could see some colours that I could not before. With change of thought and wakefulness came a change in cares, I became interested in what is actually going on...
It's not such a big deal in Canada. Police know the difference between a guppy and a shark (betta and arapaima?), so it's nothing to worry about unless you are involved with a big grow.

SWIM might be being a bit more paranoid than necessary, but he doesn't trust people in general...
People should be forced to watch these videos, it's the least I'd like to see done to them.

You have weird perceptions sometimes man...
I don't hate her because we don't have all o the information, maybe she was trying to save her skin. I just think it's important info to get out there, not necessarily in that guy's format (lol).
Good advice man, thanks. I do not intend to allow my tranny to dose anyone who is not known well by myself though, and only people who have done their research and know what they are going into.
I have noticed that I sometimes like being mad or in a depressed state, like I deny myself escape from it due to some morbid enjoyment. It is very strange and I don't know why it is, maybe 'cause I am seeking attention by being moody or something.
Is this a benefit that the source fruit or grain could not provide in itself? Apparently red wine is full of antioxidants and as such is good for the heart and brain. BUT these antioxidants come from the grapes used to make the wine, so why not skip the negative effects of the alcohol and get...
Just wondering if anyone is on other psychonautic forums. I made an account on DMT-Nexus, but have nothing to ask or add yet. Is anyone on the Shroomery, mycotopia or Entheogen.com, something else? What do you find beneficial of these other forums?
I am thinking of joining the Shroomery, but I...
Thanks guys. I think intention is everything with this stuff. I just couldn't be sure it was right, but I suppose something is needed in return for the work to continue.
The filipino tranny in my closet will only sell mushrooms to people, because mushrooms are almost never used in psychonautic...
Do you think it is a moral/respectful thing to sell sacred psychedelics? I've been running this dilemma in my mind for a while now, still not sure what I think.
Is there a best time to harvest the seeds for psychoactivity? Must I wait for the pods to split and dry brown, or can I cut open green pods and dry the seeds?
Yo IJC, just because you had an experience, doesn't make it a universal truth for similar experiences! :D
EyeSpot, thanks for the report man. Sounds like the stuff hit you hard in that environment, maybe it is worth investigating somewhere/someway else. In the woods or laying down in the...
Agreed on that note man. Some of us need to PRACTICE the things we learn on psychedelics a lot more than is apparent. Get rid of these stupid macho-man dominator attitudes, SMASH THAT EGO.
It is important to emphasize respect, but some of what I read sounds more like fear-mongering and when you...
Do what you feel man, I believe in the possibility of falling in love with the wrong person.
I'm with you badpup, need a hippy lady. Around me the minds are closed and the ideas are old :?
Sorry, I know that it's federally legal, but it's the state laws that worry me. I should have been more clear. I found on erowid that Datura is illegal in Nevada, so I was wondering about the others.
But I think it would not be difficult at all to smuggle these seeds if need be, I could hide...
Does anyone know about the legality of Datura in the southwestern states? I'm doing a trip there next month and would love to bring back lots of seeds and some leaves back home. I'll be going through Utah, Nevada, Arizona and probably New Mexico (and I suppose Idaho and Montana as well), is it...
I explored these thoughts for many hours and I see the light in both views, like you. To function well in today's society, a good memory serves you well. But to function well in today's society may actually mean being dysfunctional in the universe. The way I looked at weed's residual effects on...
Has anyone else listened to these guys? This is a band from Tuva that features traditional Tuvan instruments and throat singing along with the staple modern rock instruments. Here is some:

That's fuckin awesome man! I didn't make it, but happy for you :D
It would be cool to see them at an outdoor show, you could sit with a small group away from the crowd, but still in range for music, and eat some mushrooms :mrgreen:
Does this routine affect your memory or ability to think clearly at all?
I used to vape around two bowls a night to myself and lots more when with others. I smoked just about everyday for a year and stopped nearly a month ago because I couldn't think clearly or remember, I couldn't learn. Loose...
Awesome dude! Mushrooms have done the same for me in the past, and I need them again. It's like hitting a reset button on your whole outlook and attitude. Refreshed and ready to LIVE. I can't wait to get more, especially after reading that. Really happy for you though!! :D And glad to have you...
There's many reasons, but mostly I think it's:
we are programmed to, like Spice pointed out.
it's the easy answer, no digging, no searching, just follow.
I agree with you Spice, not one of the fathers of our art have advocated the use of alcohol or really any other entheogen that cannot provide a gainful experience in itself. Alcohol is a strong drug, but a very weak entheogen, especially when used as people use it today.
Recreation is one...
Amazing, isn't it? Between the change to vegan, drinking more water and periodic fasting, you can actually feel your body optimizing!
I take a multivitamin and Omega 3/6/9 pills to account for what's lost without meat and eat hemp seed for protein and fat intake. With the foods available to us...
Creating (music, drawing, photography, writing, cooking, thinking), observing (studying, researching, reading, watching (movies, documentaries), listening to music or people). If the above don't lead to it, I like to go outside as well.
:D
I feel so inferior. I am the one beneath, the student, observer. I am under, wandering, watching in wonder. A piece of the puzzle, cog in the watch, a consumer. I am the child, I am the sheep.
And yet I feel superior, because I too am the artist. I too am above, the teacher, creator. I am...
I've been interested for some time, I'm thinking of building my own when I move out. Totally free and endogenous psychedelic voyages, I'm down :mrgreen:
Because the law-makers and friends get money from alcohol, pharma, lumber and oil companies. These companies don't want competition from an obvious winner like the cannabis plant. Renewable and effective, their exploitative ways would not last with the hemp plant providing again.
Most of the time, I value other animal life much more than humans. Can anyone name just one positive thing we've done for the planet?
"Paying the bills" is a fucking weak reason to commit genocide. I hear that and want to go into the slaughterhouses with an automatic shotgun. You wont have any...
When you were three years old, the average pig was more intelligent and sophisticated than your and the family pet. Life is life, there is no more or less alive.
To me, senseless killing is proof that we are still undeveloped and not near our potential. We are still playing ape games...
What makes you think you deserve to live? Why shouldn't I beat you, sear your flesh, slice your jugular, cut you up and throw your ribs on a barbecue?
I think the fact they are ALIVE is enough. It is unnecessary to kill an animal for food except in survival situations, and unnecessary killing...
Well we've put a price on a life, not only that, but on a sentient, emotionally complex life like piggy or cow. This is one of many reasons why humans in the developed world have a diseased soul. Most if not nearly all people take no conscious thought when they casually grab that...
Haha damn, I had no idea it was such a large amount! I just wanted to be SURE we would have an experience :D
Well, the onset introduced a cool body stone and a period of extreme laughter. Later, the body high increased and I had a really foggy mind. Then drowsiness, and a later vegetative...
Yesterday my friend and I made cannabis milk, using that to make weed pancakes. We used fifteen grams of potent herb in the milk making (double boiled weed & milk for approx. 20 min) and it felt like a lot more than just one toke over the line!
So what do you reckon is a good moderate dose?
Unfortunately my pods must have been from an impotent species because the experience was mild at best. It was comparably weak to smoking sage leaves! We tried it with three, then four and a half pods each. I suppose it is better to start small with this stuff anyway.
Better luck next time I...
Any TV shows or documentaries I want, I just download. I fucking HATE commercials! Also, looking at channels like discovery and history now, and remembering them 10 or so years ago, you can see how they have degenerated. They seem to have "dumbed" or watered down their content for a different...
I guess at our early stages of development and continuing here and there through ancient, medieval, recent and present times, nature has been a somewhat hostile force to us. Natural disasters, predatory beasts, harsh weather, etc. So maybe our desire/need to supplant nature is a backlash to this...
2g is the wiser way, I think. It's better to take it easy and get to know the mushroom first. As a method, I like to chew them for a while before swallowing.
Related to this:
I was relating the unexpected trip in question to an arbitrary NDE in profundity and effect. Datura is out of question though, as I don't think delirium is comparable to NDEs where psychedelics are. So without the individual's knowledge of being dosed with a psychedelic...
Haha, the irony being that earlier he commented on how we need to "get rid of all the fundamentalists", and that is exactly what he seemed to be. Nuclear weapons are made possible by atoms, the stuff of all of nature, synthetic or unnatural in what way? :P
Ok, so just now I had a really great (for me) arguement with an old "Rainbow Warrior" who I thought would be that cliche open-minded, peace and loving hippie type. He was SO FUCKING closed-minded and childish (despite his age and apparent learnedness) I couldn't believe it! (What was that about...

Change is the operative word here. Without change and new experiences, people cannot grow. Without growth, there is no more purpose for life, lack of growth is death or something like it. Change is the source of inspiration and that's what you need more of to pull yourself out of this...
I would hold off till after you are healthy again, what's the rush? It's pretty well a guaranteed better experience when you aren't sick, and who knows how the sickness and mushrooms could interact.
It definitely is NOT necessary, just addiction, environmental pressure, memories... there's lots of possible causes. Think about humans when we were apes in the jungle. We ate what we could find; nuts, fruits and vegetables. Tools came along and we started killing other animals for food, now the...
