…lo.

I too am slightly paranoid and at times a little anxious when I don’t have the proper outlets in my life. I have found that marijuana offers a much better feeling than alcohol. The first time I did try it - my boyfriend was surprised that I didn’t “freak out” or get extra paranoid because apparenlty this was super good stuff. So I don’t believe it has much to do with sober personality paranoia. From what I know of you through JBT, you should be fine.

I used to drink a lot. I like to blame it on a past boyfriend but I choose how much I drank. Now I just don’t see the point. I smoke less than I used to drink and if I didn’t actually like the taste of some good beer and attempting to get into wine, I probably wouldn’t drink at all. The effect is better from marijuana and there are no lingering negative side effects….except some weight gain due to the munchies
I have been interested, more recently, in trying something else - such as ’shrooms. But I have yet to decide if that’s really something I want to commit to. Marijuanna, if you have too much, you’ll just get sleepy and go to sleep - not too bad of a deal. ‘Shrooms - I would hate to have a “bad trip” and be stuck in it for hours.

On that note…I need to find a lighter…

Marijuana, esp. for the first timer, is a hell of an experience. You should, by all account, thoroughly enjoy it, especially if you have the anticipation for it. Sometimes it’s not good for the first timer to smoke the crazy, dank gnarley purple haze stuff that is so prevalent now.

LSD, on the other hand, is something that is going to put you face to face with yourself real quick. It’s not recreational as much as spiritual. In my strong and experienced opinion, it is almost utterly necessary to take it with someone who has done it before and certainly not by yourself for the first time.

The illegality of these things is not to protect the users from the drug but rather an elaborate and unfortunate scheme by the powerful to keep people in fear. I see it’s worked on you a little bit!

Though it can be forgiven, it’s quite irresponsible mentioning nutmeg as an intoxicant, as the intoxicating dose is dangerously close to the toxic dose. It also does not yield a proper trip.

If it is a hallucinogenic experience you want, and legality you’re concerned about, I would suggest mescaline. Mescaline comes mostly from the “Peyote” plant, which are hard to find, possibly endangered, and illegal. The San Pedro cactus is a far bigger plant, but also yields mescaline, and is perfectly legal(you may have one in a pot at home). The method of consuming mescaline varies, but my favorite recipe is linked at the bottom.

There are many species of cactus, so it is best to purchase from a nursery to be sure you get genuine Trichocereus Pachanoi(Ebay link at bottom). Taking this route will yield you a genuine, natural, organic, peaceful trip. Feel free to email me for any other questions, Fraudwasteabuse.

The difference between a dose that will get you high and a toxic dose
is slim, and even the former will increase your heart rate to the point that you’re likely to feel overheated and anxious, while experiencing disturbing hallucinations(sp?) that are only going to increase the discomfort.

I have experienced this firsthand, spoken to three other people who, from firsthand experience, have reported the same, and seen one person hospitalized for overdose.

I know this. With never having using salvia myself, I am rather limited in how I can describe it, and it just happened to be the closest thing I could compare it to. You may have noticed that I mentioned that only 18% of the people who have used salvia actually compared its effects to LSD.

when you have some experience with them, you can progress to dmt, “the ultimate psychdelic”.
search for “shamans of the amazon” on video.google.com and “joe rogan explains dmt”

* S - Level One — “Subtle” effects of Salvia in small doses
o Perception that “something” is happening, with no explanation
o Relaxation
o Meditative feelings and heightened sexual sensations
* A: Level Two — “Altered” perception
o Enhanced colors and textures
o Changed space and depth perception
o Dream-like experience, “eye candy” hallucinations with closed eyes
o Awareness of distinction between fleeting visual effects and reality
* L: Level Three — “Light” visionary state
o Clear images with fractal and geometric patterns with eyes closed
o Two-dimensional imagery with eyes closed
o Vague images or dream-like “eye candy” hallucinations, without confusion with reality
* V: Level Four — “Vivid” reaction
o Impression of a complete, dream-like state of alternate reality with eyes closed
o Complex, three-dimensional images with eyes closed
o Hearing of voices
o Knowledge of reality with eyes open
o “Shaman” level; journeys to foreign lands, encounters with spiritual beings, feelings of becoming another person
* I: Level Five — “Immaterial” existence with consciousness severely affected
o Lack of individuality; universal consciousness merges with other objects, real or imagined
o Lucid thought processes; movement coupled with confusion
o Extreme pleasure or fear felt by the experimenter
o “Sitter” level; need for someone else present who watches and ensures an injury-free, reassuring experience for the disoriented person
o Absence of reality; wrapped in an inner experience
* A: Level Six — “Amnesic (amnesia-like effects)” — the most extreme
o Loss of consciousness; no memory of experience afterwards
o Falling down; thrashing about
o No perception or recollection of pain or newly acquired injuries
o Deep trance-like state not often sought, since no memory remains after the experience
o No recollection and loss of all control, thus discouraged by most sources

Fucking carpet ate me. There was no carpet in the room.

Whoa. Deep.

the title of the post suggests otherwise.

Does anyone know how I can get it cheaper or where I can get an actual “plant?”

I loved it. Great New Fad for ‘07

-ME-

Anyway, if you’re looking for a similar experience to lsd, the nearest thing i’ve taken legally would be Morning glory seeds. They sell them in bags of 6 here, and i assume that’s probably supposed to be a hit, but i have heard 12 is a good time of them would be enough. They can be harsh on the stomach though, and often commercial seeds have mercury on them. Head shop by me sells clean ones.
At the end of the day i would say Mushrooms though. I’ve experienced LSD many times, and the LSD that is currently being sold near me is an estimated 700-900 mic trip…very strong. However the pscilocybin experience to me has always felt more beautiful, more whole and more natural. Perhaps this is linked with the use of mushrooms by early hominids, but who knows?

Oh and as for the argument that smoking marijuana lowers your IQ (as stated above), you may have had mental disturbance for a day or two after it possibly, but it has no affect on your IQ. I have the same measured IQ today as i did when i started smoking dope 7 years ago. The thing about Marijuana is it affects your concentration (especially if you don’t smoke much), and affects your motivation. As Bill Hicks said: “When you’re high you can do anything you normally do…you just realize it’s not worth the effort.

I think that my experiences with drugs have certainly turned me against the idea of a career life, working in a large IT corporation. This doesn’t mean i have ceased my studies, I just know that i would prefer to spend my life studying consciousness, the world, entheogenic plants XD and heaps of other interesting stuff that have the capacity of returning me to the source.
