No, not trance-like. Conscious, and otherwise all functions normal. Just an echo of what happened in there, that I could hear but got fainter with time.

I think many, myself included, begin with a notion of "fun exploration", which is annihalated by your first experience of the inneffable fractalating soup. If we go back, its no longer for fun.

My experience with psychedelics has led me to much the same conclusion. Trips are indelible - in that you cannot erase them. Sometimes, I sense I have been permanently reconfigured, like that epic trip reset my state-machine, and when it surfaces, I fall cold and vulnerable. I'm not clinically depressive, or anxious, but am a very "thinky" person - and I don't think psychedlics are good for "thinky" people.

I think that's exactly the reason they're banned, though I would have prefered the opportunity to learn that for myself - legally. It put me off them as a recreational item. I have been back once, and though it was easily as mad, knowing what to expect and having my wife sober to talk to during the really intense section (t+1-3 hours) helped alot. I found the heart in my mouth paranoia re-surfaced from time to time, but faded with time. The glossalia was strange. In flashback, it was like flicking a perceptual switch that would let me "speak" it with my inner voice, like a clickety-pop-zwang-a-loo. That sounds psily, but it feels hard-wired, part of your deep-language-function, as if you're hearing the mechanism behind the words and grammar. Like all things mushroom, it's very difficult to put in words. I had a similar experience years earlier with a huge bucket-bong. My inner voice split five-ways, all me at different ages, speaking over each other at once, and the youngest - maybe 3 or 4 years old - spoke a strange "invented" language that I remembered, like in a deja vu.

I could spontaneously break into glossalia (speaking in tongues) for about a week after my epic mushroom experience, but it faded over time. Scary as hell - knowing whats lurking just beneath the surface.

Bump.

BUMP.

Not true, though. CC addresses are generally visible (haven't tested this here though). BCC is generally what you're thinking of, as in Outlook and other mail apps.

I still have the chip in my front tooth to prove it ... mine was an awsome fibreglass number with red wheels that would jam to a stop on any stone or gum nut ... it was like a strange attractor for them

The rubbermaid tub is pretty damn moist, but perhaps its too large and confining the airspace around the containers more could help. I'll just have to experiment I guess. Thanks for the feedback.

Agreed. They are stunted, but by no means freaky-deaky.

Maybe 80-90% stalled not counting all that accurately, though none are what I would say flourishing exactly. Perhaps some strains are simply more fickle than others? What are peeps experience with that?

No hijack at all, as it sounds rather similar, if only slightly more progessed. Those few caps that have appeared haven't really opened as well as I would have expected either.
