DERUGS.

[kl.grudge]

LSD. Unequivocally, positively. I don't really indulge anymore since I have two young daughters. About once every two years or so. I was an alkie for years, until I discovered K@ about six months ago. Since then, I've drinken about four times. Love kava as well, but K@ is much more useful as I can still be productive on it. If anything, my work output has increased since I met K@. Not too many substances produce that effect.

I manage to be productive with kava, for me the key is to stay on the more 'head' side with the type of kava and balance end of the session sleepiness with some caffeine.  Not perfect, but works for me.

I did a ton of shrooms 2 years back. The mushroom gods kicked my ass. I did 17+ grams of freshly dried cubensis. You guys know what loops are? Well I got some of those. I legitimatly thought I was dead and in the afterlife. I thought I could predict the future. It was nuts. Surprisingly I didn't damage anything haha.

I got the anti-drug abuse effect I think. I'm just a lot more careful and temperate about this stuff now.

Are san pedro very similar to other psychedelics? I plan to do them sometime in the next decade.

San Pedro is just one of many cacti that contain mescaline, which is typically asscoiated with peyote. I find the San Pedro or Peruvian Torch cactus to be more chill and less delerious than peyote as they do not contain pellatine and some of the other more racey compounds that peyote does, only mescaline. Mescaline is not what it's made out to be in movies it is structually a phenylalanine meaning it has an amphetimine backbone and in my opinion is like a natural form of extacy. Much more visual and less dangerous. The problem with San Pedro/Torch catus is you have to consume so much.

i aint met a phenethylamine or tryptamine based psychedelic i aint liked, be it natural or synthetic. but nothing, in my heart of hearts, can touch a good dissociative trip. ketamine, dust, methoxetamine, dxm, mk801, 4 meo pcp...even the humble whippit. eat this, see shit. or go home.

I'll spare you the list of things my hippie lifestyle has led me to try.


Kava works the best for me, hence me joining up here and loving talking about it.


I'm convinced that alcohol is the worst drug out there, although I admittedly was addicted to it for years. The change in consciousness it causes is ridiculous. I was happy to just sit around, get fat, and watch television. Then spend the morning try to power through the nausea, usually with more TV or if I was at work with greasy food and misery. Then repeat.


If there wasn't such a long history of use amongst Europeans, I'd think it was some kind of conspiracy that the US government allows it to be sold everywhere, but not other drugs. It keeps people from reaching their potential.

I have done a bunch of drugs, however, my area of abuse lies in prescriptions. One medication that is a fun time in higher doses is pregabalin. To me it feels like alcohol with the ambien trips, and some amphetamine style stimulation also. . It is also a potent anxiolytic and I am literally stumbling and going from hall wall to hall wall.

you dissociate very mildly, it's like kava on roids. The first time I did kava I was like, this feels like pregabalin but more sedating, low and behold the ion channel inhibition is the key action of the drugs.

 

[Vekta]

I don't have near the history with drugs as many of you have. I got into alcohol for a while and towards the end I was pushing it a little. Much of it was over 100 proof even for "normal" drinks just for the sake of being over 100. I'm a tad surprised I didn't start to pickle around the edges. I've had pretty limited experience with MJ. It's enough to know I don't really enjoy it. I don't know what variety of MJ it was but I found the high a little unpleasant.


I like kava. Besides the long history and culture that goes a long with it I can share it with others without a whole lot of stigma attached to it. Most people I come across don't even know what it is and find the tiny preview of the whole kava world to be very interesting. For me it's moved beyond just being a d-e-rug or medicine. It's a part of life and one of those unique things that people recognize as being "me" if you know what I mean.

Man, this thread is making me feel all straight edge.  I did two or three "experiments" way back in high-school, all of which I decided before hand were one-time things.  But alcohol and cigarettes, that's it for me.  And I actually quit both of those ~6 months ago when I started kava.  One of them was even by choice!

 

[Ed!]

I'm more straight-edge than you. Tried mj this past year, smoke cigars, that's about it other than lots of booze.

 

[mos3z]

Ed, i think i'm the winner. I havent had any alcohol since high school 23 years ago and have never tried any drugs other than prescriptions, dont even drink caffeine any more lol

 

[Ed!]

Oh snaps. Yep, you get the medal for squariest square.

 

[krunkedout]

San Pedro cactus, weed, pills, alcohol- I actually make my own alcohol, not because I am a heavy drinker, but because I caught the brewing bug and love the possibility to experiment; I just bottled a batch of mead, or honey liquor, and now I have an ale made from corn fermenting) and kava. That's about it. But kava is what is really a part of me and my life.

 

[kl.nataliekobrapuke]

krunkedout: thats sick, duder. i always wanted to brew mead. come to think of it, i never even tried that viking shit. not much of a drinker no more, but i am curious. i used to make my own superpowered hi calibur demonic absinthe, but have ceased that as well. how is mead anyway? always wondered. it aint like somethin you see everday (unless yer rockin a helmet with horns and yer name is leif) whats its alc/vol?

 

[Buddhacide]

I like everything excapet hallucinogens, and everything in moderation.


Ive been doing a lot of K@ as it stopped making me violently ill all of a sudden, i prefer real opiates though if I can get them.

 

[kl.nataliekobrapuke]

i shoot up kava and sniff lines of the root powder

*Unnecessary and meaningless post.


*Only hurts the perception of the harmless plant we all enjoy legally, and would like to continue to be able to enjoy.


In fact, this entire thread should be axed IMHO as it will cause unwanted search engine hits.  SWIM believes there are plenty of other internet forums devoted to this topic.  Mods?

 

[The Kap'n]

I think the mentioned post was meant to be facetious, and totally non-serious. I did laugh at it, but I 100% unequivocally agree that we are not a drug forum, and that this thread is misplaced.

DEAR PASSER-BY, NATALIE WAS JOKING.


There, I gotcha.
