i used to have a to-do list of that sort of thing - never got round to acid and narrowly avoided DMT, which is fortunate otherwise i'd likely be in a padded cell right now. it's a damned shame to think i may go the rest of my life having never experienced either of them

the one possible exception to the rule were these: Hawaiian baby woodrose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

woodrose seeds are the hardest i've ever tripped. i took 14 and it shattered my mind. much more intense than lsd.

fourteeeeen?? I had 5 and was the only one in our group not to vomit in the first few hours, then the **** really hit the fan. Apparently people were passing me joints which I demolished, completely unaware of them, so that probably helped. I got some optical illusions and 8 hours of intense introspection and grinning. I cried watching 'Bowling For Columbine' or some **** coming down, effects probably lasted the rest of the next day, but were oddly positive, it made me get my **** together.

Was it worth the stomach cramps for you cardboard? Also music just did NOT register with me on those things. Which sucks ofcourse.

I think a lot of stereotypes predispose people to certain ideas and misconceptions regarding most drugs. I won't speak for all of them, but I know most psychotropic drugs do not induce physical harm. The threshold level for overdose on shrooms, acid, or weed is ridiculously high. (There is only one POSSIBLE case of overdose on LSD, and the man had nearly 1/3 gram in his blood and a handful of other drugs in his system). I don't find anything particularly wrong or dangerous to experiment with those drugs, as long as you do it in moderation (and under safe circumstances).

On a sidenote, I have yet to trip on salvia. I've taken it twice (packed bowls both times) and it was fun, but I didn't trip. Any thoughts?

Nope. Headshop once, 20X. Didn't feel **** that time. Friend's stuff about a week ago, 20X. Felt like I was on a roller coaster, but I didn't trip. (It might have been a little exacerbated by three blunts we went through just prior).

I bought Salvia once at a headshop with a friend of mine. We got enough for 5 or 6 bowls, parked on the side of the street, sat in my car and smoked it all. The first few bowls did absolutely nothing for either of us, maybe gave me a small headrush for a split second but that was about it. After the next few rounds I laughed for about 3 minutes over nothing at all. On the last my head was spinning for about 5 seconds... and I got really hot, it wasn't that enjoyable.

In short, not really worth the money.

I'm starting to realize the same thing. ($25 for a gram is pathetic when you can buy an eighth of weed for that same price). I want to experiement with more psychotropic drugs but I don't really have the money. (A half slice of shroom is like $40 and acid is hard to find and expensive when you do). All I can afford is weed.

Weed is pretty much the drug I buy consistently. When I can afford chronic (which is basically never) I get it. I hate mids, and I hate not having weed. Quantity over quality is what I've been going by lately and it sucks. There such a difference in how it makes you feel.

And as far the using it everyday, I'm all for it...to each his own, right? As I see it, some people go home and have a cigarette to unwind, some people have a joint. It's not destroying my life...I'm still going to college and whatnot. As long as I'm not putting others in danger I don't think it's anyone elses problem but my own.

if i got stomach cramps or nausea or anything i didn't really notice it. that dose was so big i was pretty much just insane for a few hours, i was unable to grab onto a single coherent thought and just kind of lay on the floor as my mind raced through images and half thoughts at full speed

^^same here! i was trying to explain to people what it felt like and i couldn't string a sentence together, kind of frustrating. fourteen?
