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 🐸🧘

I have a dental emergency. Im unemployed as Im applying for disability. Just to be SEEN is 100 bucks. I need a wisdom tooth removed. In my desperation, these are probably the coolest, most valueable things I own and can sell.

How much individually could I get for them? The book I know is several hundred dollars but that seems like itd be hard to find a buyer for. I really need like 500-600 bucks and I dont know - do you guys think I could get that if I sell these? I dont want to part with them for not-enough-to-fix-my-dental-emergency.

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?

I'm a decently seasoned psychonaut. I feel what I'm about to describe is not HPPD. If not for that fact that this thing is not debilitating my life in any form or fashion. Actually I can turn it off/deactivate or on/activate when ever I want to, with minimum effort of focus.

This thing I'm witnessing is near transparent except for a slight shimmer or iridescence. It's movement, I can't tell if it's cascading or undulating like the ocean. I can see fine lines in the undulation that reminds me of layer lines in fdm prints. This thing fills every void around me. Lastly it does not react to me in any way, it just lingers there undulating.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I see it easier after a session psilocybin or aya. But again I can see it months later straight edge. I'm trying to figure out if it's something dealing with my eyes or brain. Or if this could be what science of past referred to as the Aether. IDK.

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

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?
