Shroomy- Everyone else gets the visuals from it, so I dunno about it being shit. Conan- I've been taking 5-HTP regularly for the past month of so. I don't use MDMA, so it doesn't seem that I would be depleting it. Tonic- How is this possible, when one of the guys I know take it with no desire to learn. Its just another way for him to get "fucked up." Everytime I look at him while I'm on acid, he looks like he has demons in him. This is not to say I don't take it for recreational reasons aswell, but I have a purpose everytime - it just so happens that I enjoy it too! I feel almost like a child right now asking "how is that fair? he gets it, and doesn't deserve it, and I don't get it!" I'm not saying I don't get OEVs, just not the typical trails of colours and lights everyone else does. Reality bends, warps and drips.... but if its something I know, and have a point of reference for, it just feels like my brain is kicking in and trying to put a stop to it. Again, its why I like a good DXM trip (and hate the hangover, which is why i've only had it a few times). It completely removes me from where I am, my brain has no point of reference, so I see everything it has to offer. It's a solid 4+ trip, and its fantastic! My first trip was on DXM, and it was accidental - it arrived as "herbal ecstacy." I don't take MDMA, but thought "its only herbal, why not give it a shot?" I ended up having 4 "hits" of it, expecting to be bouncing off the walls in no time... the exact opposite happened. I left the planet, completely unprepared, and fell in love. My mind was completely open, and I was experiencing beings that words can't describe. I wanted to know what was in the "herbal x" so I searched. The responses to my trip report said it was quite a typical DXM trip. This is how I came to this forum. I discovered that what I had wasn't herbal, and began searching for a) actual herbal psychedelics, and lsd.

I don't smoke - might have to make some brownies instead!

The only times we trip is up in the blue mountains. Being outside really does give it a mystical experience, but I just think my brain can't let go of reality. I really do enjoy the mind-expansion of it too, but its like eating pizza without all your favourite toppings - its still good, but could be better. I don't really enjoy watching tv at all (high or not!), but it really brings out the visuals that everyone else gets normally. Actually, there was one other time I get intense visuals and thats when I look in a mirror. My other mate warned me against it "you see all sorts of evil things in mirrors" but personally I think he sees all sorts of evil things in himself (as I see them too when I'm tripping and he is present), but I loved it! Then I put my mirror sunnies on (at 2am ) and went back to the mirror and stared down into infinity. The "me" three guys down looked up and smiled. He knew exactly what I was talking about mu. I think you're right - I just need to let go.... but HOW??????????

Yeh I guess bitter, for the atoms, isn't really the right word. You hit the nail on the head with "metallic." They definately have different doseages, and differing degrees of that metallic taint, even on the same sheet.

Yeh I don't think I'll be throwing kicks high than the thigh - don't want them caught. Its fine in Muay Thai, because they won't try to catch it, then shoot-in for a takedown I might ask my thai fighter mate (he won last night!! he was a bit rusty, but he has that killer instinct!) how to really toughen up my shins, so its like swinging a baseball bat everytime I kick. The poor fella that faced him last night had some really badly bruised ribs. Wouldn't surprise me if he broke a few, because they looked pretty bad even at the end of the fight, as normally they take time to puff up... but if they were broken he wasn't showing it. I guess that is the sport, turning your body into a hard weapon that doesn't feel pain, and breaking anything in front of you. Its a bit too wild for my liking. I dig the aggression, but I prefer the science of submission. You really have to know your anatomy.

Never seen the white ones... Interesting, Paradox. The atoms have a very slight bitter taste - could it possibly be the print inks? Otherwise tainted, you reckon? My other mate has been taking acid for... ooo... 10 years now, and he reckons its definately LSD in these ones. I'm certainly curious now about the bittering. It seems I'm a freak with getting visuals. I've seen the world twist and turn, and reality just seem to bend and drip, yet my mate on the same dose gets masses of colours, and can "see" music. This changed with the tiniest rock of DMT. It wasn't even enough to get a buzz out of normally, but I thought "why not just use it up?" HOLY FUCK! I saw the funniest episode of Gilmore Girls ever. The missus was here watching it near the end of my trip. I saw one of the main characters walk in wearing a suit of rapidly moving grey polygons, and the daughter next to her was simply a human-sized ball of hot pink thread, tumbling around. That lasted for just under an hour! I made her record the episode, so I could watch it in the morning as a reference point. I realised the second I woke up that it would be NOTHING like I remembered, and I didn't want to sit through a whole episode of that shit so I just didn't bother hehe Is that a typical synergy with LSD & DMT, or does DMT have that effect on most other psychedelics?

Really - if we're all adults, then how hard is it to say "well, its not for me, so i'll just click Back, and then hit another thread" I'm not saying if I agree or disagree. My sole point is: Its not illegal, just immoral. Morality is subjective. So how hard is it to keep personal beliefs aside? I'd wager almost everyone in the thread would say things differently if we were all in person, around a campfire.

Maybe ;) So... ahhh.... Torsten... do I get those freebies, yet??

Quote of the week goes to Torsten: What a classic!!But wait! There's more! FUCKIN AY!! I still haven't stopped riding that wave!!! Sorry, but I just had to throw my two cents in and have a chuckle!

I've only had DXM so far, so I shant vote until I have atleast two others under my belt. The ONLY problem I find with DXM is the hangover, otherwise its a really wild ride.

I know where they grow in the blue mountains, but I've since found a creek near my place, with pine trees along it. No fly agarics there, so I was wondering just how to go about getting them there ;) I think I'm probably a bit too much of a novice to give it a go.

Toongabbie ay? thats right around the corner! Does anyone have an actual address?

How easily do agarics take off in nature, from spore prints? Considering there is a number of pine trees in a local park right down the road from a foaf...

Where do you budding mycologists get your syringes, and needles, from?? I've got a couple of prints here ready to go under my microscope, but there seems to be squeeking in some parts, like it needs some oil. I figure the perfect way to get some lubrication inside the microscope is with a syringe....

Ha! I've since found out that all public hospitals (in NSW atleast) have needle exchange units attached to them. Its free, but its unlikely they'll have anything but needles for junkies, 18 guage isn't really used in hospitals for much, and certainly isn't used for injecting people with. Still worth a shot.

Thats a bit of a smart-arsed reply. Torsten is right, its a bit rude... it doesn't bother me as much, as I just think "ahhh the silly knob doesn't know how to quote yet." I think whether Torsten has asked you privately or not isn't really the issue. You don't have to be a smart-arse about it, and ffs... have some consideration for others.

I've had next to no experience with any form of meditation. During my time spent learning martial arts, or any other time we were told to meditate, I was always restless. I'd wonder what everyone else was thinking about. I'd look around the room. Anything but meditate. I just didn't know how.... I still don't. I have this instinctual feeling that all the work I need to do on myself can be done by myself. I just don't know how. With the limited experience I've had with various psychedelics, I feel as though pathways have been opened in the space of seconds that would have taken months of pondering and searching. They are a "short-cut," if you will. I have had revelations about my childhood, and who I am now. They have stuck with me still. I am living differently now - not much differently, to be fair, but it is still a change. Not a day goes by since that I don't think about it. My two cents...

I've had a few My family and I have had problems with police for quite a while. Its not that we (especially my parents) do anything illegal. Its more of a few bad turns of luck. The worst one, as an example, involved an off-duty copper flying his car across our frontyard at 150km/h (he was REALLY drunk too) and landing on two cars in our driveway. We were lucky that I was away that weekend, iwth dads car, because I used to park right behind the other two, and he would have landed on the bonet! I should probably get the photos online, because I get serious looks of disbelief whenever I tell this story This left a family of 6, 4 of whom drive, with only one car. A two-door coupe. As my brother just lost his job, and didn't renew his insurance, he had nothing to claim against... and I was a fulltime student, and they wanted $2000/year for a $3000 car. I wasn't insured either. As I said, the copper was drunk. There was a legal shit-fight on this point as the insurance company didn't want to pay, and after 18 months we finally got paid out for the two cars written off. In the mean time we had to buy two shitters for $500 each. Events like this has given me a great amount of dislike for yer average copper. I've since had many run-ins and never been charged with anything more than a speeding fine or parking ticket There was one long story, and my mates and I were in the wrong. To cut it really short, one of my mates thought he was being smart (this was when we were already at the police station!) and was mouthing off at the cops. I told him to shut his mouth or I'll break his jaw. I appologised profusely and they let us go. They said we were free to go, and said "You're not bad fellas, just absolute dickheads when you're drunk!" and made us walk home. The smart-mouth lived the other direction from Jim and myself... after about 5 mins of walking, the cops pulled up next to us and dropped us home because smartarse wasn't with us anymore! Nearly got busted for indecent exposure - I thought the police were treating a patron of a club rather unfairly. I mouthed this off at quite a volume. One of them said "yeh and you're next asshole"... I pulled out my nuts, and said "you can suck my left one if you think yer gunna get me for nothing!!" Little did I realise in my drunken state that indecent exposure was the something they would have pinned on me! But then a couple of bottles started to rain down on them, and they hurried up to the paddy wagon and took off! I put my two mates away, and started giving them this as they drove off! Started a "fuck tha police" chant in an already hostile situation in Bondi Beach one night. As it turns out, it was a Brazilian public holiday, and all the brzailians in sydney gathered at this one bar. The bouncers thought "fuck these spicks, lets be rednecks and start pushing them around cos they be different." So the brazilians got a little rowdy, and it spilled outside. My two mates saw this before I did, and grabbed me and started running in the other direction.... When this happens to me, I instantly want to stop and see what was going on behind me.... I saw... I ran towards it! The police came. The crowd gathered trying to tell them that the poor guy on the ground with 200kgs of lard on his back was innocent. The cops cuffed him, and put him in the paddy wagon. I could tell everyone was getting a little itchy. I started with "FUCK THA PO-LICE! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK THA PO-LICE!" and it caught on like a bushfire in december. I ducked, and got outta there. Went back to my mates, got a kebab and sat down and watched. The footage of me flashing the news chopper obviously didn't make the Seven O'Clock News the next night The point with cops is that most of them have no desire to uphold the law... they're just rednecks on powertrips that like weilding guns. BUT they can still fuck you over royally. If you're actually in the wrong, then being a smartarse will only make it worse for you. If you stop and say "sorry officer, i was being a dickhead" then say it. It will probably save you alot of time, and its stopped me getting charged a few times... Like when I got pulled over doing burnouts on the local school playground at 3am! I was already up the road, and he didn't see it happen... but the grass and mud up the side of my car gave it away! If you KNOW you've done nothing wrong, you still have to be careful as they've got ways to bait you. When you know their tricks, as I've learnt, then shove it right up their arse!!!

I just got a phone call - It's fly agaric season in the Blue Mountains. "they're as big as CDs!" He said! I'll be back tomorrow with some photos

Ahhhh okey doke. So thin-ribs = keep walking? Thanks for yer help guys... much appreciated.

found a couple more today... ID please, kind people! Looks like this baby is about to start flowering! Does that help with the ID by looking at the flower pods??

I've never had that desire... and I build up tolerances real quick too... especially with acid. Thats what I love about entheogenics - you come out of it (sometimes) feeling like you have acheived something, but never get the urge to jump straight back into it.... maybe thats just me tho

The fact that John Howard is a prime minister... And his only opposition for years was a fat man named Kim.

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table... Not even Arthur sat higher than anyone else.

its 3 - 0 - 1 mate I was born on the 30th of January, not the 33rd I've always liked the number 3 tho, and often consider myself No.1
