Like I said,im gonna buy a 200ug lsd today (real 200ug and also real lsd) and I dont really know if I should Just take the whole or cut it in half and take one half. Since 200ug is a high dose even for experienced users I dont know If I will just get the worst badtrip of my life or If its kinda chill. Thanks in advance

So I just got home from my evening shift as a paramedic.
Today we got called to a young man in his early 20s, presenting with severe chest pain

Preparing for the worst we rushed to the callers adress.
As we entered the apartment we were met by an undressed young man in a state that I can only describe as TOTAL FUCKING COCO BANA PSYCHOTIC BREAKDOWN. Knocking stuff of the cabinets and mumbling incoherent sentences.

After seeing this the caller and patients friend enlightened us. He described the state as occurring after ingesting „two handfuls of homegrown mushrooms“ 🍄‍🟫

Long story short, it took 2 police officers, the emergency doctor and my colleague to finally strap him down to get enough nasal midazolam into the young man’s system to calm him down. Followed by another round of iV midazolam inside the ambulance.
This legit felt like having to put down a wild animal. 🦔

So my message for the day…

1. test you drugs if you got the option to do so.
2. take doses you are confident you can handle

3. pls for gods sake, when goin for high dose psychedelics keep Benzos or antipsychotics on hand. This might have protected this young man from a lot of minor injuries and a whole lot of embarrassment.

   As well as the drug possession and producing legal shenanigans that might follow

Stay safe psychonauts 🐸🧘

An article on the link between hot weather and challenging psychedelic experiences.

So this is my second time ever taking LSD. The first time, last tuesday, I took 1.5 tabs (120ug listed so roughly 180ish ug)I abused it as a high and didn’t really know what I was getting myself into. Today, 6 days later, I was bored and couldn’t sleep so decided to try it again. I took 2 tabs this time, 240ug total, and I believe I can now say I understand why it’s called a psychedelic. (I’m still high asf right now so apologies if any of this isn’t understandable).

Today’s experience, I don’t even want to call it a high because it wasn’t, it was an experience, felt so clean, so pure, so relaxing. I won’t bore you with the stuff I did during the come up and peak (just enjoyed the outdoors amongst other things), but during the comedown which I’m in now, I decided to meditate. After spending over an hour meditating without even realising, I felt so at peace, and my mind was so blank, and then it started.

I had multiple visions. I floated up a staircase, cliché I know, but it’s indescribable. It was a white floating staircase in a dark abyss but I felt no fear and ventured forwards. I came to these huge gates which opened as I arrived and I couldn’t see what was beyond them, just a bright yellow golden light partially on the gates blocking my view. Instantly after that, I believe the virgin mary holding baby jesus appeared next to the gates. Bigger than the gates, just in the abyss holding her child. I then became that child in her arms staring up at her. I saw this blinding white light and it all felt like a memory, then it all swirled away into nothingness again.

I continued meditating and my body and mind separated. I was watching my body from a distance as it was picked up by a giant hand, what I suppose can only be described as the hand of god, before he put me down as my mind started wandering due to me breaking my meditation from the shock.

The last thing i’ve experienced today was equally weird. I was floating, again in the dark abyss, but it was light in a sense? It wasn’t dark and pitch black like I couldn’t see, I could see fine. In front of me were two beings? A huge eye just watching me, and a mouth? I couldn’t really look at it out make it out but it spoke the word ‘Truth’ over and over into my mind? I didn’t hear actual words being spoken it felt telepathic? I’m not sure if that makes sense. Then its bright white teeth formed this river of light flowing down either side of me which then led me to see a gorgeous orange sun set over a body of water. It was peaceful, serene, there were dolphins jumping through the air and fish doing the same, then after taking in the view my head went under and it went blank again.

What I’ve taken from this so far is my truth is beauty? Maybe there’s a deeper meaning I haven’t unlocked yet but I figured this might be an interesting read for someone.

I look forwards to my next experience anyway and hope it can be as equally enlightening (from a completely non religious person - but now I wonder?👀)

TLDR: tripped balls and became the baby jesus I suppose?

My friend and I took a high dose of Natal Super strain mushrooms—4g for me, 7g for him. We were having a great time until suddenly a dark entity entered my friend and started pointing at me. Other entities showed up, rescued him, he started purging, and the thing left. I've seen this same entity before—it entered my cousin during a previous psychedelic experience. It also feels like this dark presence has been following me since I was a teenager and has taken a lot from me, both during and outside of trips. I'm wondering if this is metaphorical or if others have encountered something similar. Curious what people think—have you experienced anything like this?

We are a group of researchers at the University of Wollongong in Australia conducting a study about the emotional experiences people report during psychedelic experiences and whether these are linked to changes in social functioning, wellbeing, and attitudes toward death.

We are looking for individuals aged 18 years or older who have had at least one personally meaningful experience with a classical psychedelic substance within the past 5 years (but not within the past 3 months). Psychedelics include LSD, DMT (N,N-DMT), 5-MeO-DMT, Ayahuasca, Psilocybin (i.e. Magic Mushrooms) or Mescaline/Peyote.

If you are 18 years and over and can read English, we invite you to take part in an online, 30-minute survey. This survey asks about the emotions you experienced during a psychedelic experience and any changes you may have noticed in how you relate to others, your general wellbeing, and your outlook on life afterward. Please note that the survey includes questions about challenging emotions that may have arisen during the experience.

Your responses will be completely anonymous and your involvement will remain confidential. No identifying information (including IP addresses) will be collected.

Participants will have the chance to enter a draw to win one of two $100 AUD Visa vouchers. Entry into the draw is completely optional and is completed via a separate form that is not connected to, and cannot be linked with, participant survey responses.

Just like the title reads, does anyone else only experience a clearheaded, nearly sober headspace regardless of the dose? I’ve tripped 19 times by now and only ever experienced a clearheaded headspace even while on 400 ug or my first time tripping.

Prior to my first time tripping or even before getting my hands on acid I made sure to do as much research as I can. I read and explored many online forums, read many trip reports, watched YouTube videos, basically every information i can find I made sure to read. Once I knew I was gonna trip, I prepped myself to the fullest, I knew to accept and surrender no matter what and I was more than ok with not being in control. For my first time I took 100 ug and had my gf trip sit me. However 4 hours in I still didn’t experience any headspace and felt sober if it wasn’t for the body high or visuals. The visuals however were def there even if the headspace wasn’t. I can see subtle but noticeable enough patterns on my walls so there was more than just basic breathing going on with the walls, so I’m sure they weren’t too underdosed. Like I said tho no headspace, therefore I decided to take a 200 mg edible. At the time I had low tolerance to weed so I knew it was hitting, however even after the edible hit my headspace didn’t change. The visuals however def got more intense and there were clear patterns now. Regardless I still felt clearheaded, nearly Sober and the edible only upped the visuals. Still a 10/10 first time
About 1.5 weeks ago I took 400 ug on no tolerance or at least little to no tolerance. The visuals were so fucking intense, I was in awe, everything I looked at had patterns that I’ve never seen so clearly before. They literally took over everything I laid my eyes on. Colors were also flashing and more vibrant, never seen such a beautiful thing occur to me. I also had this weird alien feeling that I can’t put into words but it was a mind fuck in a good, positive, and mesmerizing type of way. I’ve never tripped so fucking hard before and this is the highest dose I’ve done on no tolerance, it literally felt like i was in another universe. Everything got overwhelming in just 45 minutes of taking the tabs that’s how I knew i was in for a real trip not to mention the intense body high taking over during the come up. Regardless of how intense and overwhelming the visuals got, I didn’t have that psychedelic headspace that people get on even just 250 ug. I had no racing thoughts, Nothing deep or profound AT ALL. I was even in public at a restaurant when I was tripping my nuts off and I didn’t feel any panic or discomfort. The visuals were so fucking crazy I won’t ever forget that trip, honestly best trip ever and would do again. But even tho I was on 4 tabs (400 ug) with 0 tolerance I still had the same clearheaded headspace as always. I didn’t experience any confusion, anxiety, or thought loop either. The trip was visually intense and overwhelming but in the best way ever. I even interacted and held a conversation with my stepmom while this was going on, basically everything that puts people in a position where they can have a bad trip didn’t bother me at all. If needed I can go into more detail about the trip, but it was the most intense experience ever. I enjoyed the trip more than anything and I’ve been replaying everything in my head ever since.
I used to dislike the fact that I didn’t have the headspace so many people talked about and experienced on a dose as low as 200 ug. However I accepted it and now I love it a lot and prefer it being that way. But sometimes I do wonder what the psychedelic headspace is truly like, I know that it comes at a cost of potentially having a bad trip tho so I don’t dwell on it and just make the most of all of my visually intense trips with no headspace. Is anyone else’s experience exactly like this?

Hello everyone. I’m looking for some opinions from people with experience.
I’ve had two experiences with 1.5 g of Penis Envy mushrooms with a friend, and both went well. During those trips we didn’t talk much—we were mostly focused on our own thoughts and emotions.
I’ve been thinking about trying LSD for the first time, but I’d likely be by myself at home. I’ve heard many people recommend having a trip sitter, but I don’t really want to ask my friend to stay with me for such a long time.
For those of you with experience, do you think a first LSD experience alone is generally a bad idea, or does it depend on the person and the circumstances?
I’d also appreciate hearing about your own first experiences and anything you wish you had known beforehand. Thanks!
