Psychedelic drugs?

Psychedelics are mad but they pale into comparison to the 2 minutes of madness from salvia 15x.
Crazy fcukin sh1t

give me a few mins over 10 hours anyday!!

Psychedelics are the ****. I've managed to get through most of them I've wanted to try. DMT is the only big one that remains unticked.

Mushies were the first I tried. Two of the lads and I bought a box of them in the headshops and ate them in the middle of McDonald's. We had the quintessential drug adventure; what would normally have been a five minute stroll to the offo became a three-hour magical wander. My hitherto unextraordinary estate became a completely fascinating wonderland, and we'd frequently have to stop for several minutes to take in the amazing sights such as The Solid Gold House, The Extremely Red Flowers (red flowers are always crazy on psychedelics), and Sin City Lane - you'd step in this lane and suddenly you were thrown into a black-and-white world with the odd snatch of highly-contrasting colour (eventually I realised I was, in reality, simply stepping in and out of a shadow. Terminally good fun, but one thing I noticed then and with subsequent experiences is that it's a very insular drug. I really just want to be around other people who are on the drug, and I find interaction with others to be annoying, confusing or downright scary. Financial transactions are particularly challenging - completely forgetting how money works while trying to buy beer at a bar in Amsterdam is not a particularly pleasant experience.

LSD is a bit similar to mushrooms but, in my opinion, better. When I was younger, before I was a fiend, I read a few books about psychedelics and developed a powerful desire to try acid, but I couldn't get my hand son it. I'd always hear people on the internet saying "don't worry, acid will come to you," which wasn't very comforting at the time. Then it just...did. I was walking back to my tent at a festival when some Cork lad asked me for a smoke. When he saw I had a full box his eyes lit up and he said “Give me ten of those and you’ll get two of the cleanest hits of acid you’ve ever had in your life, biy.” I don’t really remember the peak – I was probably way too drunk to be taking drugs, to be honest - but a lovely young couple helped me through it. The chick would hold my head and give me a fork massage whenever I sounded distressed, and the lad very generously handed out huge rocks of gorgeous MDMA to me and my mate throughout the night. I kinda started regaining consciousness (albeit utterly drug****ed consciousness) as it was getting bright, and it was just incredible. I know it sounds like a hippie cliché but I’d never realised how beautiful the world was. It was like everything was in HD, the colours and contrasts were just unreal, there were little particles that would float about then just wink out of existence, people’s eyes would constantly shift colour and the fluorescent face paint they were wearing would stream out behind them as walked, and these coloured beams of light, coming from nowhere, were shooting out all around me. It felt as if the dimensional barriers dividing this world and another were breaking down , a world in which magic was very real.

I will say that acid hs the potential to be dangerous. The visuals are fun, but that’s only half the trip, Acid is a head**** and seriously alters your way of thinking. You’ll often think you have a decent handle on the situation but your idea of what’s going on in your head and what’s going on in reality are often very different things. For example,. Any time I’ve taken the drug I’ve become convinced that absolutely everyone from the country is a traveler. I remember being out of my head at Electric Picnic and seeing all the campervans coming in, and thinking, “Jesus, the itinerants are setting up on site. Have they no shame?” Another drug that’s better suited to a controlled environment, certainly I it’s your first time anyway. I also think it tends to outstay its welcome somewhat. First 6-8 hours arte all fun and games, but eventually it’s like “Alright acid, we’ve had a great time but it’s been 12 hours now and I’d kinda like the walls to stop melting soon, if you don’t mind.”

Slightly surprised at the lack of mention of 2C-B so far; it’s fairly popular. People often describe it as mix between acid and MDMA. It is and it isn’t, I guess. The visuals are strong aright, and there’s some euphoria, but it lacks the empathy of MDMA and it doesn’t have a headtrip like acid, making it a better party drug than the latter. You’d be in no way “normal,” but it’s not like mushrooms or acid where you’re operating on a completely different to the rest of the world. The first time I bought it I my mates and I though it was ecstasy. I was the first to come up and realise something was off. I will admit I was initially quite alarmed when little toy steam trains started chugging around in my periphery vision, as was my friend who spent 10 minutes observing the whirlpool in his toilet bowl, but we went with the flow and turned it into an enjoyable trip which largely constituted us making up films with pun based-titles for 6 hours or so (a warp in the wardrobe would look a bit like a guitar trying to burst out, and this would lead to “Evil Guitar: An Axe to Grind” and “Evil Guitar 2: A Bone to Pick.” Repeat x100).

Way too tl;dr already so I’ll just briefly list my experiences with other psychedelics.

DXM (cough syrup): horrible, mongy and uncomfortable. I can see why noone does this.

Salvia: Blew everything else I’d done prior out of the water. My mates got the giggles off it. I got transformed into a triangle and sent to some universe that consisted entirely of triangles for a few hundred years (a minute or so in earth-time). To be honest, you can’t even really give a rudimentary description of salvialand with words, because there’s nothing from normal, everday life to compare it against. It’s something you’d have to try yourself to understand – this is true of almost all drugs, but much more so when you get to the WTF level of savlia divinoium. Horrible, evil drug, but admittedly interesting.

Ketamine: Blew salvia out of the water. I had no idea just how powerful this drug was. I took a horse’s dose at a festival this summer and went right down the K-Hole. I could write a few thousand words on what I experienced, but it would probably be pretty nonsensical to anyone but me and, again, it’s not something you can really explain in writing. Just to give an idea.: I thought I had died, I experienced complete and utter disassociation (forgot I’d ever existed as person), I saw the creation of an entire universe. When I was “reborn” in my tent at the end, I turned to tell my mates what had happened, only to find they had no faces – their eye sockets, noses and mouths were covered completely by skin. This was actually something of relief – it was a horrific sight, sure, but at least it was something I could understand. Head****ery of the highest order, though very interesting. I have no idea how people do this **** for fun.

Jesus, tl;dr.

I'm definitely curious about acid but I have the feeling I'd be bad trip material. Don't really fancy being stuck in a 12 hour nightmare.

Mental. I had heard Ketamine was nuts. Never thought i'd be afraid to try a drug, at least the once... but i don't think i'll be going anywhere near Ketamine any time soon... I wouldn't trust myself to ever make it back in one piece.

To be fair, the dose I took was probably at least 5 times what I'd have needed for a strong trip. A little goes a long way with K, but I was really drunk and just shovelling the stuff up nose with a coin, and the tent was dark so I had no idea how much I was taking. Terrible, irresponsible idea with a drug that has a fairly low effective dose.

It scared me enough that I haven't done it again, so I don't know if a "milder" K-Hole would be much different. By all accounts the K-hole is always going to be fairly out there and I know a few others who also thought they'd died after taking the drug - it seems to be a farily common experience. It's also one of those drugs where, once intoxicated, you actually forgot you've taken a drug (or that your a person at all, in my case) so you can't just say to yourself "You're just tripping, calm down." Salvia does the same to me and I think it's this effect more than anything that makes me afraid of these drugs.

I will say I have had good fun with small bumps of ketamine - it's like a a completely different drug on low doses. Everything just goes a bit wonky and walking is difficult as your legs seem to shoot about 6 feet in front of you move them. Still, probably won'#t be partaking in consumption for the foreseeable future.

Thought my hands went the size of those novetly hands at football matches.

Ha, I get that something awful as well. If I turn my hand one way they look really long and skeletal. If I turn them the other way they look huge and chunky. On one occasion my mates and I had to agree not to raise our hands at all because we freaking each other out so badly with them.

Walked the streets and the trams bkes and cars were making sweet music.

Same again. Eveything sounds like a bassline and my mind just makes up a tune around it. I've seen people at festivals go off trying to find the "rave" in the middle of the night only to find it was nothing more than a generator working away. By the end of a week-long cainer in Ibiza I could actually hear music coming out of the sink and toilet
