r/Psychedelics

I took a moderate dose of 4 ho met with 200 mg ish edible hoping the edible would potentiate the 4 ho met and make it feel closer to a strong dose. The metocin kicked in like an hour before the edible, and fuck dude it was amazing. Pure love. I decided to take some bong rips like 45 minutes in cause i was getting bored of waiting for the edible to hit, than it did something weird to the trip. It like fully mentally sobered me up, and took away all of the euphoria. When the actual edible kicked in it was like the headspace of 3rd plat dxm (after losing the magic), with some weird cluttered and uninteresting in a way visuals. Everyone says weed makes their trip stronger and more euphoric, wtf bro.

Like for example, I watched 2001 a space odyssey off shrooms and the theater had light on both side, once the star gate scene started it looked like the lights were morphing into the same pattern as the star gate, it was incredible, and a little before that it looked like the screen was melting onto the floor, as absurd as this sounds it was the greatest theater experience of my life, and it’s my favorite movie oat

I'm going to be using DMT tonight for the first time. I am relatively new to psychedelics. I've had 3 Mushroom trips, with combining acid on my last trip.

Everyone says that the average DMT session is 3 pulls. I have heard of people talking about trying to get a 4th pull in for the experience of a lifetime.

I've been wanting to do DMT for about 2 years now. The last couple months, I've been thinking more and more about doing it, so tonight will be the night. With how ready I am, should I attempt the 4th pull? Or is it best to stick with 3?

I am new to psychs. I have been seeing a lot of youtube comments, reddit and other posts where people had the best trip of their life and their depression have magically gone away. And there are people who have been preaching psychedelics like duncan trussell who have been depressed and hasn't found a solution.

had a major shroom trip last night and I live by a military base called fort Detrick, The whole time i was convinced that I was going to die and Iran was going to use bioweapons on the fort and i'd be exposed and die. I youse to have the happiest light hearted trips but recentlly its like a switch flipped and now evreytime i take psyches i get INSANELY paranoid, whats happening to me? Evreyone who cares about me has been telling me that im like a compleatly diffrent person and i've lost many good relationships because of it
also im straying from the main point. i was just so wowed that shit like bombing and terroist attacks happen evreyday and just nobody cares about it until it happens to them? why is it impossible for humanity to exist without greed?

***DISCLAIMER: THIS IS IN THE PSYCHEDELICS SUB BECAUSE I WAS SEEING/HEARING STUFF AND IT FELT LIKE AN ACTUAL PSYCHEDELIC TRIP

I haven't ever seen anyone write a THC trip report. Probably because you're really not supposed to hallucinate on THC. Most people just green out before they notice anything, but my guess is that since I have a large enough body, I was able to barely fight going unconscious, and instead see the horrifying hallucinations I want to detail in this post.

I don't know exactly how much I had; this was my first ever edible and my friend had misread the label and gave me probably upwards of 25mg (as a first timer).

Keep in mind this was in public.

Everything started out as expected... I began feeling lazy and calm, which is how I was told I would feel. It slowly felt like my eyeballs were inflating and getting really watery. This was all normal so far. As it really started to kick in, I was told by my friend that my eyes were getting very very red.

Then it kept getting stronger. And stronger. And stronger. And wait, how is it still getting stronger. And EVEN STRONGER. And it wouldn't stop getting worse. Eventually it felt like I could barely hold open my eyes and the whole word was beginning to blur. I was barely able to speak. I could feel my heart rate increasing to a point where it started to hurt, and I asked a sober person if they could help calm me down.

I really didn't want to go to the hospital. So I kept fighting to stay conscious and not throw up as my whole world felt like it was rotating and pulling me in circles.

Then the hallucinations.

I began to hear people talk to me. I vividly remember hearing my friends voice from above my head. His words were slicing through the noise and it felt like they were tickling my brain. I laid down on the ground and began losing consciousness again. All I remember is closing my eyes one second and then opening them again and being in a parking lot getting helped along by my sober friend. I remember vividly seeing two of my friends in what I perceived to be a cop car. They both simultaneously called my name and happily said, "Good luck!". I looked away briefly as I stumbled around and tried to keep my footing. When I looked back a second later, I realized my friends weren't in a cop car. I was looking at a white sedan with nobody in it. My sober friend got me into his car and he drove me back home. The moment I would close my eyes, it felt like I would instantly shift into this daydreaming like state and I would begin to hear and see people call my name. It was awful.

I don't remember anything else after I got home.

I woke up the next morning in my bed and had brain fog for more than 4 days after. Haven't tried weed since.

They say you should wait a minimum of 2 weeks after a mushroom trip before dropped Mushrooms or Acid again. I was just wondering if this also applies for DMT? Should I wait 2 weeks to do DMT after dropping Shrooms?

I'm curious if the boosted neuroplasticity could be harnessed for learning. I know I'm rendered mostly illiterate so it might have to be something hands on

I have plenty of experience with classical psyches. The last couple years I’ve been mostly using research tryptamines 4 ho met, 4 ho det, and combing them sometimes.
Awhile ago I got some that were a 10mg/5mg of 4 ho met and 4 pro dmt. I understand pro dmt is a psilocin pro drug so should be very similar to shrooms. A couple months ago I took half and had a chill time just watched a movie. Last night I took two thirds so only about 6.6mg met and 3.25ish mg pro dmt and come up felt normal but about an hour or so in it just felt like something was physically very wrong. Felt like I was on the verge of collapsing and my heart felt like it was going crazy. The headspace was not great mostly due to being scared something was going wrong. I did not get any of the shroomy headspace or euphoria I was just scared for my life. I was like this for almost 2 hours and was close to calling 911. Luckily I came out of it and the rest of trip wasn’t terrible. Out of the many times I’ve used psychs this is a top 3 most scared I ever was. Out of all the times I’ve messed with research tryptamines this has been my only negative experience. I don’t think I’ll be using anything with 4 pro dmt in it again.

I don't have anyone in my life that can give a good answer to this so looking for any advice pro or negative that might help push me in a direction or just good food for thought.

I've done Ayahuasca a few times about 10 years ago as well as Huachuma, both in Peru in the correct settings, probably the most important life changing things I ever did. I've done a couple low doses of mushrooms (around 1.5-2 grams) on my own at home in the last two years that were very beneficial for me in processing some trauma and giving me a feeling of Hope that I'd lost. I did those low dose mushrooms while also weening off Venlafaxine, but still on a very low dose, which I slowly titrated down from for over a year. (I regret ever going on venlafaxine but that's a whole other thing)

I came off Venlafaxine completely about 9 months ago and almost immediately started having nightly panic attacks and really broken sleep and intense nightmares that I'd never had in my life before, which as far as I can understand is my body/brain readjusting to the serotonin and norepinephrine levels/returning emotions that had been covered up by the venlafaxine etc. On top of that I'm dealing with some CPTSD from my last emotionally abusive relationship that really did a number on me in a way I never thought possible and am having a lot of PTSD symptoms stemming from that (that 99% of my nightmares are about). I've also smoked a fair bit of weed in the last 5 or so years which never caused me any issues until I came off venlafaxine and if I have too much it brings on those same panic attacks, so I now consume maybe 25% at most compared to what I used to 9 months ago, just enough to help me get to sleep. I get it medically prescribed and am not an all day smoker and have only ever used it for sleep and occasionally recreationally. The panic attacks feel very body focussed and more like a "medical" thing rather than from conscious anxiety as I'm pretty level headed through the whole thing they just feel awful like I've been drugged, and I just do breathwork to get through them and they pass after a while, but a few of them have felt absolutely awful and the first one I thought I was going crazy, unsure if that's just because it was the first and I'd never experience one before. Outside of these episodes that are ONLY at night my general anxiety is actually quite low compared to other stages of my life there are just some very specific anxiety triggers mostly around relationships.

I had to go on Agomelatine to stop the panic attacks as I just couldn't function or sleep and things have been pretty calm since in comparison unless I accidentally push the weed use, which also helps keep the nightmares at bay.

THE POINT: with all that in mind, I know, or feel very deeply that I need to use mushrooms in the short term (and eventually return to ayahuasca) to help process this trauma that is directly affecting my life, but am worried my body will have an even more intense reaction than it does after weed and may even cause some lasting damage e.g psychosis. But at the same time it could be exactly what I need to help fix this exact issue and have been stuck at this impasse for months and feel like I'm treading water. The only thing I can think of is just starting with very low doses and slowly move up and see what happens.

Also I already go to therapy, exercise, eat well etc so am ticking all the other boxes it's just not moving the needle enough.

Thanks in advance

One of the first ever shroom stories I heard was about some famous musician and his wife taking their daughter to see the movie Thumbelina high on shrooms. For years it stuck to me and now that Akira is being shown in theaters next week I believe it's my time to eat some lovely shrooms and check out an early showing. Pretty excited 😊

hi everybody, i do psychedelics every once so often every 3-4 weeks, shrooms and lsd and i notice that whenever i go to hit my nicotine vape or my thc disposable, i can inhale much more than when i was sober, any reason for this?

Did a very high dose a while back and convinced myself I had pissed myself, ever since in social situations I get constant fears that I have pissed myself and have to check regularly, gets so bad I have to just go home sometimes. I assume the increase neuroplasticity caused this to become an intrusive thought but either way it’s detrimental and I need to get rid of it any advice or similar stories?

As the title suggests, I am wondering which one to take this weekend when watching the Hobbit Trilogy by Peter Jackson. Like Bilbo, I want to go on an adventure 😉 I have some LSD and I also have some shrooms (Blue Meanies).

Has anybody watched the Hobbit on shrooms or acid? What would be the better choice for watching a fantasy epic such as the Hobbit?

What are the risks and dangers?

Hello everyone! I got introduced to the beautiful world of psychedelics starting this year and acid is my go to. Initial few times the trip was epic and it did help me get through some stressful times. I mainly meditate, listen to calm music and often watch art videos

However last couple of months i started doing acid more frequently like every weekend and soon the positive effects of acid seem to fade away as my body developed a tolerance for it. So I increased my intake from 2 tabs to 4 tabs (each 100 micro grams). Now I don’t get the same kind of trip as I used to when I initially started doing it.

As a matter of fact, once the effects wear off I feel down mentally and physically. I am planning to take a long break from acid to help reset my tolerance.

Has anyone experienced the same? Is there a way to keep doing it and still get an uplifting trip?

Hope this can help I know many people talk about non duality on forums but I feel like we should be doing more, text contains so much less information than a living presence I feel like which you can feel so hopefully this inspires someone and uplifts ones spirit
