Well said.

This isn't a bad idea. But good luck finding this on the street. Find someone who really specializes in LSD and can tell you what kind of crystal it is, and who the chemist is. I agree with some of what you posted, but it also depends on how you define "good". I like visual, euphoric types. But also, the amount that you take can have different effects. The stuff I have now is great at 250ug. But when you go over 300ug you just get confused as fuck. There are two chemists that I have really grown to trust over the years. But even then, they mix up their recipes, refine them, etc. So the effects change. And sometimes they just have shitty batches.

It drives me nuts.

This is a fantastic explanation. Thanks!

Exactly. My recommendation here would be to go hang out with some kind trans folks for a few months and see if you have the same opinion All I hear on this thread is ignorance

LSD doesn't taste like anything. Liquid LSD is usually mixed with vodka or everclear alchohol for drops so if you take a drop, it might taste like liquor I second the motion about getting an LSD test kit if you're getting it from the street. Or just find Dr. Seuss

I can relate to what a lot of you are saying here because I felt the same wzy. I didn't understand them I thought they were mentally ill I would not use pronouns Since moving to a city with lots of trans people, being around them a lot, them being kind to me, I now support them. I don't care what the reason is, I will be kind and respectful and treat them like people deserving lo love and respect. The same as all of you hjere Part of growing up is love , tolerance and accepting of people who are different from you. Don't forget that

Well, this certainly does seem to be the actions taking place right now https://bsky.app/profile/sarahkendzior.bsky.social/post/3lgsyqiznks2o

I have another storage question. What is the best way to store liquid LSD and LSD blotters? I can only find anecdotal evidence on the web so I have no idea. Recently, I took a tab that I had sitting in a dark, mylar bag, for years and I was surprised how hard I treipped given how long it'd been sitting around in my closet. I'm not sure if that even mattered. Now for the real question. I have a vial of liquid in a dark glass that I keep it in the fridge. It is Dr Suess 3.0, I thought I would mention, it is my favorite LSD. And yes, for those that don't know, quality matters, and this is the best. Extraordinarily pleasant and entertaining powerful visuals. Giggles all day! Anyways, the question I have now, should I keep it in the fridge? I'm a little worried someone might come over and do something stupid. I'd feel terrible. Next question, I also have tabs. Should I keep the them in the freezer? I'm afraid they'll get condensation if the fridge breaks or again if someone discovers them. Last question, I have read that LSD on blotter lasts longer than liquid. How is that so? What does seem to be common knowledge, is that light, heat, and oxygen can degrade the molecule. I usually store my shit in an airtight jar with a desiccant and an de-oxidizer packet. But! There there seems to be so much disagreement about how long this shit actually lasts. I have heard people say that they've had LSD that's lasted 20 years. No idea. :SHRUG:

One more thing, I gave my close friend some tabs a couple of years ago. He recently took them and said they were week. But these were 150ug tabs. He tends to be aloof, so I'm not sure if it was just him not storing them right, or if it was the LSD. I do remember, that mine from the same batch had started to turn brown over the years. Not sure what that was all about but I never took those ones again.

It sounds to me like you need to teach your mind that it's ok to be in the body. You seem wound up, relaxation into the discomfort will offer you some release. If I were you, I'd get serious about finding a quality meditation teacher. I'd start with that since this sounds like a spiritual crisis. From there, i'd ask the teacher if he thinks you should do therapy. The challenge with working with therapists and meditations teachers simultaneously is they can contradict each other.

Ok, i have a few questions here... Is awakening through psychedelics the same as awakening through meditation? Is the effect the same? Also, does awakening through psychedelics make it easier to access the awakened state easier through meditation? If so, why do you think that is on a very precise, technical level? Does awakening the natty way become easier for those that use psychedelics? For some reason I feel compelled to ask this question, based on this quote by Nisargadatta Maharaj : “Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.” What does he mean by that? Is the experience of being everything and being nothing a reference to different types (or depths) of awakenings?

They got you twice then. Cuz now you're part of a cult.

That happened to me in the beginning also. I went straight for the big insights. Leo offered some solid advice. If I could go back I'd have started out by doing a lot of calming style meditation practices, exercise, and chilling with good friends; Existential contemplation without a calm mind can be incredibly destabilizing. There's a reason the Buddhists put so much emphasis on Samatha meditation. Reading a lot of books and consuming a lot of video content can also be destabilizing. Eventually you learn to slow down because the suffering becomes too great. Make sure to get help from a teacher that you trust if things get too bad. Meaninglessness can really fuck up your life.

I'm super sensitive to caffeine, I can't have it at all, not even a can of coke or I have panic attacks. In that state I can't handle noise at all. Also, you may want to look into HSP (highly sensitive person).

It seems to me that the US is beyond saving. That's not even accurate, it's just that there's on-one coming to save us. The dems done fucked up by giving into greed and corruption. Anyone wondering why very few are speaking up? It's because they're not going to. This is not an issue of left vs right, or dems vs conservative parties. This is about corruption and what is born out of corruption. Enter fascism. According to Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt. Here are The 14 Characteristics of Fascism Powerful and Continuing Nationalism Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause Supremacy of the Military Rampant Sexism Controlled Mass Media Obsession with National Security Religion and Government are Intertwined Corporate Power is Protected Labor Power is Suppressed Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts Obsession with Crime and Punishment Rampant Cronyism and Corruption Fraudulent Elections Layer that on top of what we've seen playing out over the last few years and it should start to click. Now that we see social services being cut, protections gutted, becoming a country of isolation, cost of goods going up... What is going to come of poor and other marginalized groups? Imprisonment? Starvation? Deportation? Concentration camps? Wikipedia does a pretty good job in describing fascism with historical examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism Here's a couple of the more interesting excerpts that pertain to my question: Why in the fuck isn't everyone thinking about leaving the country?

Ok, so, basically I see a few different different threads but I don't know how they are all tied together or how they can all coexist. 1. Trump and his jerk mates have deep, long lasting ties with the Kremlin. Russia infiltrated the US government some time ago and has been manipulating us to cannibalise ourselves with the goal of bringing down the west and expanding their territories. They've made deals behind closed doors but I'm not exactly sure what Trump and the US gets out of it besides getting a share of Ukraine's minerals. Maybe Trump was blackmailed, I'm not sure. 2. Project 2025, we all know about that, no big secret here. 3. Network states. This is some scary shit. These fuckers just want to burn it all down and erect virtual but sovereign nations. Basically, societies that operate like tech startups. The primary industries include AI, defense technology, cybersecurity, and other tech shit. These would be cryptocurrency-based societies. Backers include Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, and other tech billionaires. Network states have been spoken about and written about openly. There are books, interviews, videos, etc. I do not know why this isn't getting more attention and I've yet to hear anyone in the current administration even mention it. Someone on this forum posted this link which led me to look into it a little further: https://www.vcinfodocs.com/ Other resources: https://www.amazon.com/Network-State-How-Start-Country-ebook/dp/B09VPKZR3G Thoughts?

I live in Portland. A lot of marginalized move people here because they can find acceptance and because of state services. A lot of people are worried. Especially the LGBTQ community, disabled, and activists. Trump explicitly said that he's "coming after us" so we'll have to wait and see what that will entail. I'm predicting a huge fiasco once the larger protests kick off. He'll probably really fuck with any funding we get as well.

I love that

There's a lot of shit information on the web. Even some 2019 era search results on this forum said otherwise. But I figure that may because not many knew about the molecule back then.

Ok, I have a couple of questions: How long does 5-MeO-DMT Freebase last when stored at room temp? I have it stored in a glass vial, inside of a mason jar with a deoxidizer and a dessicant. I'm open to suggestions on how else to store it. I have about a gram, I thought about stocking up on more, but that isn't likely necessary. I do plan on plugging it to start, but even if I were to take one breakthrough dose every week I'd have close to a year's supply. I also have 5-MeO-MALT and NN-DMT stored in the same mason jar in the same fashion. Similar question here

I just started working with a meditation teacher and the way he described it to me is that it does matter how you meditate. He was trained in the Mahasi tradition before he started practicing Samatha-Vipassana. With Mahasi, he said kiss your social life goodbye, and that awakening was difficult to achieve without long retreats. He now teaches Samatha-Vipassana which is more forgiving because of the calming nature and how it translates into daily life. It's also very simple. I haven't awakened yet, but from this style of training, letting go is natural and easy because of how pleasant the effects are. I still want to experiment with psychedelics, but this thread has confirmed what I have suspected. One thing worth mentioning, is that this is why sanghas exist. Meditation communities make it easier to commit to the practice when your social needs met. Monasteries are similar but ALL of your needs are met. That is on reason why I disagree with the whole "lone wolf" theme of this forum. Things would be different if we didn't live in capitalist systems where we work 40+ hours per week. But, here we are so we adapt.

Thanks, this is what I suspected.
