The Recreational Drug Thread

[Mr. Charlie]

Psychedelic drugs, acid and shrooms in particular, are established aids in combating alcohol and narcotic addiction. Those who want to quit booze, coke, ecstacy, speed or whatever, but can't, try tripping for 4, 5 weeks in a row. Not saying anyone should quit those drugs - I enjoyed them for years, just know that psychedelics can help should you need it.

I haven't done shrooms since 2003, last time I did them I ate a few caps, smoked a blunt. I was listening to Dark & Long by Underworld and I swear it took me an hour to walk down the hall to my bedroom. I was holding on to the wall for dear life, and felt like I was like on an epic journey to Mecca.

And I saw the those little Hawaiian Tiki faces that a lot of people see after rubbing my eyes.

I've been musing about experimenting with some psychedelics at some point so if you have the time to give advise it would be appreciated, as a lot of the plants are grey areas in Canada. You can essentially buy the leaves or boil the bark without any criminal prosecution.

So your thoughts on....

1) Peyote: Never got around to mescaline, is it worth the while, and is it a good start for a novice (in that its not to powerful)

2) Salvia: I've been meaning to do this since the 90's but I've heard so many horror stories about it, and that it only lasts for a few minutes. I know one person who told me they thought they were a little red polka dot on a table cloth? So how intense is it & is it safe to do on your own?

3) DMT: I guess its' sort of morbid considering its theorized to be released in the brain when were ready to pass on, but have you done it? What's your experience. Apparently a lot of people boil the bark and drink it in tea?

Any other natural psychedelic recommendations?

I'm no doper, but I once knew that practice as I was a child of the 60's. Here's what I think:

Pot: Not sure, some people get tachycardia from it. I gotta wonder about bronchial & lung damage due to the high temp when smoked.

Acid: gets old over time, risk of psychotic episodes. Haldol will turn it off , usually.

Mescaline: sparkly shimmering cities. There was a time I wanted to try peyote...

Meth: downright dangerous

Painkillers, Opiates: Addictive & potentially permanent brain damaging.

Cocaine: immediately orgasmic, leads to severe crashes, not worth it.

Nicotine: a self destructive way to induce relaxation when inhaled via tobacco . Killed my parents, one was emphysema (hideous), other was congestive heart failure. Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray. No matter how it is used, it eats your heart (literally). It was an absolute bitch to give it up, but give it up I did.

Alcohol: addictive & problematic for many, it probably has to do with genetics.

All of the later stuff came after I recognized the full dangers of chemical entertainment, so I don't know! Try meditation or exercise, self medicating is dangerous & destructive.

"Doper"? Get out of our thread, you narc.

I've learned that nine times out of ten, if Roxy posts a laughing gif it's usually in response to one of my posts. Not being an egomaniac, it's just true.

[RoxyRollah]

Bitch, you high?...

[The Batlord]

No, but I am slightly drunk. But the fact remains that if I see one of your posts that is just a laughing gif, I tend to assume that I will find one of my posts directly above when I scroll up, and I am usually right.

[RoxyRollah]

Except when you got faced by Plank two years ago...with the pick of the cat in the window.
