I'm quite happy to be a member here! I would always keep forgetting about the Saturday pulsing thing, would randomly think during the week that I wanted to register and subsequently forget come Saturday. Glad I got it worked out eventually. I am a fairly lonely person and have been more depressed lately as a result. However, browsing the Nexus and engaging on the forum has helped me as it's not just pure distraction like watching Netflix or browsing Facebook (and seeing photos of everybody with their friends.) I feel like here I am actually productive for sitting on my computer in my room. I can get questions answered, help people and participate in lively discussions. I can nerd out too, reading extraction teks for fun and learning about new ones (I find the FASA method pretty cool, for instance.) Just a few minutes ago, I got to read and reply to someone's writing about whether or not hyperspace connects you to everything and is inherently real! I'm happy to engage on this forum and love the interesting topics I come across.
Here's to being slightly less depressed!

Thanks, you too! I like a lot of the names I see on here and the shroomery (my name is the same there too.) Why I made it was because of how much I enjoy the general vibe of LSD and that special feeling I get when I trip.

I'm trying to be more out and about during the day and not just sit around in my room but at night it gets more difficult. I might be moving back to where I used to study soon which will be good since I do have friends there.

welcome to the Nexus, LSDvibes, good to have you

i can relate to your loneliness, but dont fret you're in the right place, you're not lonely anymore, you're a lone ally, see what i did there


my favourite method

summer time is just around the corner so i prescribe acid vibes in the sunshine

autodidactic

i vote yes.

best of luck.

Sadly I got in some trouble and won't be able to dose for a while. I keep getting told that acid is dangerous because it's illegal (I got mine tested though) and that you always run the risk of that one bad hit. If that's referring to a bad trip, I practice harm reduction and would trip with people whenever I do/ not trip too often. If it's because acid can induce psychological disorders, wouldn't I have already gotten that due to my experience? I'm under the impression that LSD is safe when care is taken but some people in my life think it could fuck someone up forever. I am respecting their wishes by not indulging in any psychedelic for a while because I do respect them, I just think we don't have a mutual understanding of LSD and that it may not be as safe as I think?

And I love tripping on occasion so I wouldn't want to give that up entirely.

I ran into so much trouble due to LSD when I was a young man! The thing I learned was to keep it low-key & even secret most of the time. Most people do not, can not & will not relate to nor understand the deep, wonderful experience that LSD is for some of us.





I have undertaken thousands of LSD trips in the last 30+ years & I'm still a highly-functioning, intelligent human who has raised 3 kids, maintains a loving relationship with my wife who runs our family business with me, rescues neglected & abused dogs & raises bonsai trees...among a host of other things.

If you've got a good head on your shoulders & a clean, sincere soul you've got nothing to worry about.

Just keep it safe & low-key.

Peace be with you LSDvibes

Ah thanks! Happy to hear you've gone on so many amazing journeys! One person in my life *literally* asked "What's next on the list? Are you gonna do crystal meth and heroin?" (Information just from knowing that I've done LSD.) No offense to those who have done aforementioned drugs, but I think LSD to heroin is a big jump just knowing I've taken LSD and have never expressed interest in other drugs besides alcohol and marijuana! I don't know of safe or social applications of meth or heroin and the drugs aren't even in the same class. I'd be less off-put if they inquired about ketamine or salvia. I told them that I was interested in and practice harm reduction but they don't know what the heck that means and any information saying LSD/ related hallucinogens can be used in a safe manner when one is careful just flies over their heads. I'm talking to a brick wall and while I am biased for psychedelics, I've decided to not abstain completely for *their* sake and just continue what I've been doing which is to trip occasionally when the moment feels right and I've got good friends to trip with. Their response was uninformed enough to convince me they didn't know what they were talking about from a medical/scientific standpoint. I think alcohol would lead one sooner to meth or heroin than LSD but that's just me.

I really enjoy the odd psychedelic session but not once have I ever considered side stepping to meth or heroin. I can't understand how something as special or insightful as LSD would even give influence to trying those two substances.

People sadly just don't understand these things without prejudice - we have the spread of 40 years of misinformation to thank for that. Hopefully we'll see a change in favor of exploration of consciousness in the next century.

Well wishes to you and welcome to the nexus.

you got in trouble??? do these people think you're 15

everyone is entitled to their opinion, however when peoples opinions are uninformed they can and should be dismissed, especially when they try to apply their opinions to you or make you feel guilty because you dont have the same misplaced view of the world as them. If anyone told me my psychedelic use was going to lead to heroin i wouldnt be able to get of the floor due to crippling laughter.

it sounds to me like the people you are respecting the wishes of have no idea what they are talking about and should be ignored, there opinions are a hinderance to your existential development and also to your fun.

do your research, know what your talking about, and then dismiss what anyone who has not done the same says about the things you choose to do.

Yeah it was pretty annoying overall, being talked down to by people who don't much about psychedelics/ must have learned about them from the DARE site, I guess? They have their opinions and I have mine but I always try to make educated decisions when I use psychedelics so I think I'm fine.

Just ask them to show you a single documented case of someone going crazy from LSD without already having a genetic disorder. They wont be able to find one.

I have friends who have been dosing regularly since the 60's - and they are totally fine. Really smart and functional loving people. If anything, LSD made them more open-minded, loving, and in-tune with themselves.

Reminds me of a while back when Santo Daime sued Brazil for legal rights to drink Ayahuasca - when the country of Brazil did a study to find out the long term effects of regular Ayahuasca use they discovered those using Ayahuasca regularly for long periods were just as physically healthy as the control group, and were more mentally, socially and emotionally healthy in every category compared to the control group. Because of that study the country of Brazil made Ayahuasca legal for everyone.

People just believe everything they hear sometimes and there is a lot of conditioning in our society to fear the safer intoxicants like LSD, yest celebrate the dangerous ones like alcohol. (hey, next time they tell you not to take LSD, you should tell them about the dangers of alcohol!)
