Very cool. Like I said before, I have had similar experiences when combining weed with other psychedelics; when I had my epic mushroom breakthrough eight weeks ago, for example, it was three or four puffs of weed that took me from my cushy & blissful mushroom high all the way to the freaking Everest mountaintop. I will say though that the first time I smoked weed on the peak of an LSD trip, it freaked me out quite a bit; it was like "Oh. Oooooh no. Wait a second. Wait, wait, wait. WAIT! This is too hardcore. Holy shit, I better sit down for this one. GAH!!" - But once you get used to it, it can definitely provide you with that extra boost that puts your trip into warp drive and kicks your ass right over the finish line, so to speak. :o)

Same here! After having been completely caught off guard like that by a spontaneous surprise visit from the freaking Holy Ghost, it is immensely reassuring to hear that others have had similar experiences, indicating that you're at least not suffering from completely exceptional derangement, lol.

@SamueLSD Heh, nice report, man! Yeah, weed can be a GREAT complementary tool for spirituality in general and psychedelic trips in particular; I know that most people advise against mixing these things, but for me, combining LSD or shrooms with weed has done literal wonders. (I honestly gotta say though that yesterdays unexpected trip on weed & Wagner was far more profound and shocking than the 450 μg acid trip that I had last week!) PS - You pack one gram of weed into one single joint? Holy cow. Can you even lift it with one hand? LOL.

@Ry4n Amazing. Phew, this musical awakening caught me totally by surprise - I am still in a flabbergasted "What the fuck was THAT?" mode. I mean, I have known Richard Wagner's Parsifal for something close to fifteen years now and have been listening to parts of it over and over again, but I never really "got" the opera in its entirety. But Jesus Christ, as I was sitting there listening to it yesterday evening, I felt like fucking lightning had struck me! It was literally as if I could hear the universe itself singing its eternally winding and modulating song of love, pain, death, rapture and salvation. DAMN. Afterwards, I found myself wondering... is this what music sounds like when you're permanently awakened? Holy shit, if that is the case, then awakening is most definitely worth all of the struggle we're going through. Hah!

I know, I know, I ask a lot of really fucking stupid questions lately, lol. The thing is that I am still on the fence about this. My deeper intuition tells me that I am ready now, that I am as ready as I'll ever be, but alas, I still feel hesitant. Dropping LSD these days feels like I am the adolescent kid who is still hanging out on the high school yard even though the time has come for him to go to college. Well, how do you bring yourself to take that leap? One of the main things that keep holding me back is that of all the substances that I have tried so far, NN DMT has been my least favorite. I love acid, I adore mushrooms, I enjoy(ed) ketamine and weed is pretty much my cornerstone nutrient for the time being; but NN DMT pretty much just creeps me out, to be honest. What is it that creeps me out about it, you ask? Well, I have blamed lots of things for my relative dissaffection with DMT like the weird taste, the bizarre visuals, the fast acting nature of it etc; but if I am being totally honest here, the thing that truly gives me the willies about it is this acute, super sharp, flickering, buzzing, almost stinging sense of hyperreality that it ingulfs me in paired with the sheer artificial strangeness and alieness of the place which the substance takes me to. (I should however mention that I have never had a proper breakthrough experience on DMT so far.) So naturally I am wondering... is 5 Meo similar in that regard? I mean, I am dying to try it out for myself, but there is still this lingering timidity that is holding me back. It's kind of like having a cup of strange looking and smelling medicine standing in front of you; you know that it will in all likelihood do you a world of good to simply take the cup and down it in one go, but you also know that it's going to taste like hell, at least at first! Yeah, I have no idea what I even expect from this thread. Maybe I just want to get all of my doubts out there in the hope that it will somehow clear away my rotten indecisiveness; maybe the little insecure child in me is hoping for a forceful push in the right direction; perhaps it's just another lazy stalling technique. I really don't know. Having said that, let me know what you guys think, alright? I'll appreciate all of your thoughts on this, no matter how random they might be.

Nice report on this rather obscure(ish) substance, I think I might give it a go sometime!

@ElvisN That is good to hear... thanks for the pep talk, my man.

Boy, did I just have a strange trip. Little over ten hours ago, I dropped 450 μg (let me repeat that: 450 μg) of acid, and I barely noticed that I was tripping on LSD. I did not even have visuals. NONE WHATSOEVER. - Now, that LSD was from a trusted friend of mine; believe me, this dude always has the reeeeeeeeeeeally good stuff (I tried it tons of times, and it never once had let me down), and I watched him put the drops on the tabs just eight hours before ingestion. (He even said that he accidentally put two drops too many on the paper!). The trip before that one - which also was essentially a non-trip in my book - I had two weeks ago; same source, same LSD, same nonstarter. That one was a 150 μg trip, so tolerance cannot have been the issue here. Soooo... what the ever living heck? Could it be that after my epic 7g mushroom breakthrough seven weeks ago, LSD just doesn't have anything left to show me? Should I just ramp up the dose to 600 μg next time, or is it simply that the time has come for me to move on to other substances / practices?

@Serotoninluv You know, whenever I take a high dose of acid, I tend to be quite nervous while waiting for the effects to kick in; but as soon as I can feel it coming on, I get really euphoric and exited and can hardly wait for the big LSD Tsunami wave to hit me. When I smoke NN DMT however, my first thought after exhaling that weird tasting smoke is usually "Oh my god, WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE TO MYSELF?!" It is too bad that you cannot preview your reaction to a specific substance without actually doing it, but I guess that's the nature of the game we're playing here. I gotta say though that your comments have managed to calm me down somewhat and definitely whetted my appetite, so let's see if my experience with it will be equally blissful!

Thanks for condensing my overly verbose OP into a neat five word question.

@Serotoninluv Wow, that's super interesting... thanks so much for sharing!

Sheer brilliance, as usual.

As an aside, I have a hunch that all so-called toxic masculinity is basically (unsuccessfully) repressed masculinity. Make of that what you will, brother.

Funny, the repression of my own masculinity was one of the main themes that came up during my acid trip yesterday; as a matter of fact, that whole experience had a weirdly sexual component to it. (I actually jerked off three times during the trip, haha... I hope that’s not too much information for y’all ) By the way, I too have that problem with my throat, so maybe there is a connection here.

@acidgoofy It's not like I did not notice any effects whatsoever; there was definitely some existential introspection going on during the trip. It's just that it wasn't nearly as intense as I had anticipated considering the dose, and like I said, there were NO visuals at all - which kind of freaked me out, to be honest. What can I say, this was definitely the first psychedelic trip where I freaked out due to a lack of visuals, lol. I even caught myself wondering if it could be the case that I already have managed to expand my consciousness to such a degree that the difference between my everyday baseline level of consciousness and the heightened level that a high dose of acid takes me to is just not as dramatic anymore as it used to be, but that's probably just delusional & wishful thinking, heh...

Well, the thing is that the 150 μg that I took two weeks ago was already four months old, so the likelihood that it was from the same batch is pretty damn low... and as I have already stated, that trip was equally underwhelming!

Up for another one? These are AMAZING.

Naaaw, not me... this old guy right here: Loved this talk

Anyway, I feel like I am getting ready for the big 5 Meo, so perhaps that's what I should be moving on to from here

@Javfly33 Thanks for the feedback. LSD is very near and dear to my heart; it is the substance that granted me my first true peeks behind the looking glass, and for me it was always my super safe and super reliable go-to wonderpill for whenever I have been shooting for a clean & straightforward no-nonsense awakening experience. To see it 'let me down' like this for the first time is a bit of a bummer. Perhaps I should also mention that I have been smoking LOTS of weed lately (what can i say guys, i just started a new job at a call center, lol); not sure if that could have something to do with it?

@mandyjw Heh, that’s true! I like the joke because it is at once a hilarious comment on spiritual hypocrisy as well as a great example of how incredibly powerful a simple change of perspective can be.

My father used to be a catholic priest before he married, believe it or not. This was one of his favorite jokes: A priest is sitting on a bench. He has his eyes closed and his hands folded in silent prayer, and he is puffing away on a cigarette. A man walks by. "What!" exclaims the man, "you smoke while you are praying?!" The priest solemnly openes his eyes and smiles at him. "No, my good sir", he says, "as a matter of fact, I don’t smoke while I am praying... I pray while I am smoking." Don’t know about you guys, but I feel that there is a great truth about spirituality lurking somewhere in those lines.

@PlayOnWords LOL, good one

LOL. Dude, you do realize that about one third of your own audience are PUAs and Ex-PUAs, right?

Jeez, have you turned into Buddha overnight?
