The Question IRL posted:Given the number of clients I have represented who with substance abuse problems, or mental health issues or who have had adverse reactions when they combined alcohol with certain medications, or clients who have used substances and been unable to look after their children, or clients who have taken substances then been caught drug driving because their vulnerable parent had to be brought to hospital, the conclusion I have come to is not everyone can do psychedelics. It's probably not going to work for everyone, but the same's true for 12 step or hypnotherapy or anything else that sells itself as a cure. The mainstreaming is only necessary because we spent decades claiming that there's no legitimate uses for psychedelics at all, and banning any research into possible legitimate uses on the basis that there's no legitimate uses. If it weren't for that they'd probably have had a boom in the past century and then gone back to the psychotherapy circles where they originated. e: Entry #149 in Alexander Shulgin's work on phenethylamines is 4-Thiobutoxy-3,5-dimethoxy-PEA, described as 'pleasant but not psychedelic', with a mild edge bringing to mind sardines and tomato sauce, and of 'possible use in depression.'

As with any drug, dosage is extremely important. If you've never taken acid before, then you shouldn't start with a couple of tabs, or even a full tab. The first time I took acid, I had a half tab and had a lovely night, whereas a friend of mine took two full tabs because she didn't think the first was doing anything and had a horrifying night which turned her off psychedelics forever. Obviously it's highly subjective from person to person - there's a lot of things which should go into a good psychedelic experience (setting, time, environment, comfort level, etc.), but even with everything right some people will never have a positive experience on psychedelics - we're all different, after all. For me, I find psychedelics extremely beneficial in a therapeutic sense (I suffer from sad brains and anxiety) and they do help me to rediscover passions I'd thought I'd lost, or discover new ones. My wife and I will occasionally each take acid and spend the night talking and watching movies - we do that anyway but psychedelics just enhance the experience. It may be navel-gazing, but I know I'm far from the only person who's found psychedelics therapeutic instead of terrifying. If you're going to do it, just don't take a dose you don't know if you can handle, and don't take anything if you don't feel like taking it (and know you won't be good for much else for the next X amount of hours). YMMV though, as with all things.

Just reminded me of my god-awful lunch that I just had half a tin of carrots and half a tin of sardines in tom sauce, to be followed by the same for tea tonight: the other half tins of carrots and sardines in tomato sauce. (My weekly circulation of something in my apocalypse stash!). I don't feel a bit psychedelicized as a result, more 'when will this nightmare end'.

Cigarettes are shite, all i got after six months was some yellow stained fingers and a lot of spare matches. Alcohol; if it's in the house i'll drink it eventually so other than the xmas season i limit my purchases as i can get it discounted, this xmas i had 2 bottles of Makers Mark, 6 bottles of Baileys and a bottle of red wine (1/2 went into a marinade).... i appear to have been in a Baileys mood this year and no gin or cider for a change. Diamorphine is ace, though that was after surgery but the absence of pain is wonderful and while on Kapek i had a few glasses of red wine: spent the next few hours staring at the pretty colours on the perfectly white ceiling.

My wife and I live in Scotland and my mum back in Canada was diagnosed with terminal cancer recently, so we chose to travel to Canada at the beginning of December to spend time with and care for her. After the new lockdown was imposed, we arranged to stay there and work remotely, but now we're facing the prospect of having to pay to cover a quarantine hotel after we get back. gently caress. We arranged everything as carefully as possible so that all we needed to do was take our car parked at the airport home and then quarantine for the full period. Now we're probably going to be out thousands of pounds and liable to pay the same amount if we return to visit again later this year  .

Jakabite posted:This is exactly how I view LSD. A big duster to clear out the cobwebs in your head and give your mind a spitshine. It always makes me fall back in love with the music of words and conversation for some reason too which is nice. One thing all potential users of psychedelics should note is that although the visuals are the most commonly talked about aspect, they're imo probably the least important and strange. What you see pales in comparison to what you feel and how your mind reconfigures to work in a way that you've never before experienced. I'd compare it to installing a totally new operating system on the hardware that is your brain. drat where can I get me some of this vv too late I asked Microplastics fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Jan 25, 2021 |

I wouldn't mind trying psychedelics sometime, but I wouldn't know where and how to get them, and that's not the sort of thing you ask about over the public Internet.

If you're not in Scotland and want decent haggis you have to either order it online or go to one of the posher supermarkets - I think the M&S in Newcastle did it. I'm sure it's easy enough to find in London too being a ridiculous metropolis. You're probably poo poo out of luck if you live in some rural place on the south coast. I imagine most decent butchers will be able to do you one if you go ask in advance even in England, it's not like they have any other use for the bits that get shoved into them.
