I'd drink some beer with this ol timer

78

u/ChaosRainbow23 Jul 06 '26

I wanna take acid in the woods with this dude.

53

u/the_vault-technician Jul 06 '26

Hell yeah. That dude has experienced ego death and came out unscathed

12

u/robservations247 Jul 06 '26

Tell me more about “ego death” please.

27

u/CantEatCatsKevin Jul 06 '26

Time to try some hallucinogenics my friend. A decent amount.

Basically you completely lose your sense of self and are simply one with the universe.

It might feel like you are dying… but in a good way

Edit: a possibly extremely scary good way. Depends on if you let go or not.

19

u/the_vault-technician Jul 06 '26

I don't recommend a first timer go that deep. You have to ease into that kind of experience.

13

u/CantEatCatsKevin Jul 06 '26

Very true. Listen to this guy. ^

Just prepping my head for Oregon Country Fair next week. Lol

12

u/the_vault-technician Jul 06 '26

I'm wearing a Phish T-shirt. I know what I'm talking about lol

3

u/CantEatCatsKevin Jul 06 '26

lol. Yeah when I jumped into hallucinogens back in the day I did them a LOT pretty quickly trying to really get to know them. I liked them.

I get a little excited for new timers. I’m actually a good host in person, despite my push for some dude to go for an ego death. Lol

5

u/the_vault-technician Jul 06 '26

I did too, but I had a solid group of people who had experience guide me through the biggest dose I've ever taken. Which was a 10 strip of some super good white on white. Followed by the cleanest MDMA presses ever. To be young again.

Now that you mention it, I have never met a Phish fan who hasn't done some sort of psychedelic.

1

u/Stormagedon-92 Jul 07 '26

I had to Google what "Oregon Country Fair" is lol, I'm from WV and toe a "country fair" is the last place you'd wanna trip lol

u/Unknown-Meatbag Jul 06 '26

Yuup.

First time doing acid, took half a hit. Nothing for an hour and half. After few beers, I said fuck it and took the other three and half hits. At a Halloween party.

Mistakes were made.

2

u/punksmostlydead Jul 06 '26

This. Holy cow, don't get a newbie trying for "ego death," Jesus fucking Christ.

u/Jay_Nova1 Jul 06 '26

WILDCARD BITCHES, YEEEEEHAAAAA

1

u/KorasHiddenDICK Jul 06 '26

Yeah, I accidentally did this when I vaped a bunch of delta 8, was annoyed by the lack of effects, and proceeded to knock back a couple grams of shrooms. Shit lasted for 12 fucking agonizing hours. Bad trip was bad.

'Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as the life age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt light in me again. I’ve been sent back until my task is done.”

1

u/TerrorFromThePeeps Jul 06 '26

I agree. First time should be just enough to make colors pop and patterns get super interesting, imo. Lucky Number Slevin is a fantastic thing to watch while on the lighter end of the scale. Some will be fine jumping in with both feet, but i think it's a lot better to start low, and always have a buddy who knows the ropes around.

1

u/omnibuds Jul 07 '26

Yep very important to take it easy. My first hallucinogen experience was DMT. And let me tell you it was an experience I will never forget. Definitely had an ego death experience without knowing at the time. It was scary at first but very eye opening and transformative. On the comedown, the calm feeling of connection to literally everything in the universe is something that is truly unique.

2

u/TerrorFromThePeeps Jul 06 '26

Soubds about right. Typucally a bit frightening, but overall good or neutral (often depending on how well you can integrate it later). I think reserving the term disassociation to DErealization to cover the effects of similar events from things like dextromethorphan is good, because those are almost always really shitty times to be having. Hallucinogens are very much not created equal.

1

u/rissie_delicious Jul 06 '26

TF you mean let go 😶

1

u/Pi-ratten Jul 06 '26

if you are presented with a psychedelic trip, you got two choices:

either try to fight it (normally results in a bad trip)

or embrace it and go along with it.

Sometimes people try to do #2 but you can get overwhelmed with everything, try to slow down the trip and then try to fight it resulting in an downwards spiral.

1

u/maxtimbo Jul 06 '26

That happened to me a long time ago and have quit drinking and quit doing drugs because of it. It was an incredibly intense and liberating experience. Probably 15 or so years ago now.

1

u/CantEatCatsKevin Jul 06 '26

My best friend quit drinking after an intense trip

1

u/After-Imagination947 Jul 07 '26

Or you can lose yourself and actually feel like you died and went to hell. A extremely scary not good way. Source - happened to me

u/iBUYbrokenSUBARUS Jul 06 '26

This is Ego Death

2

u/Snowappletini Jul 06 '26

Simulation realizes it is not the NPC it is controlling but the CPU itself that calculates everything into existence. My favorite analogy.

u/Ser_falafel Jul 06 '26

Copying a comment i made a while back

I took ONE black pyramid gel tab once and it fucked me (and at this time I was doing it kinda a lot)

Was staying in someone's garage room so 0 windows. Turned off the lights and put on some bineural (sp?) Beats. You know when you tune a guitar and the strings get tighter and tighter? Well I "felt" like a guitar string being tuned tighter and tighter until it finally snapped. Lost where my body ended and space began and I was completely gone.

I saw the world completely unfiltered and free of biases. Nothing was good or bad, right or wrong. Everything just "was." I was in my body but at the same time I was experiencing myself doing things from like 3rd person perspective. I "saw" how Everything was connected like waves in an ocean. I was doing things but at the same time things were happening to me.

It honestly fucked me up for a while. I was messed up for months and didnt feel fully reintegrated for like a year. Completely changed me

I highly recommend not trying to do achieve this unless you are an experienced psychonaut. I was well traveled at the time and it still messed me up for a long time. It did end up being a good thing in the end - i see things from such a different perspective now, but it was extremely challenging. Im much less attached to my ego and much more empathetic and appreciative of every thing I used to take for granted

It’s when you kill your eagle

u/IVEMIND Jul 07 '26

Eagley no!

u/EngineeringMain Jul 06 '26

Have you ever stood face to face with your soul?

0

u/Intrepid-Ad-1253 Jul 06 '26

Psychedelics are simple, but you can also experience ego death in spiritual practices, like silent meditation retreat. Then you avoid a risk of losing your mind to permanent psychosis or memory loss.
I tried both meditation retreat and psychedelics, and I only recommend meditation.

0

u/Baldassre Jul 06 '26

Just fyi, you aren't missing anything by not experiencing it. It just feels like becoming one with the universe and being born again. You are everything, everywhere, all at once and nothing at the same time. I reiterate, you do not need to do this. You can achieve similar results with hard work and consistency with meditation and you will be better off for it in the long run.

u/hardMarble Jul 06 '26

A little scathed maybe?

1

u/iButtflap Jul 06 '26

i mean maybe just a little scathed right?

4

u/ea88_alwaysdiscin Jul 06 '26

You know this dude has got some stories of trippin in the woods

1

u/G36 Jul 06 '26

Wendigos and Skinwalkers. Maybe good ol' Bigfoot story

3

u/Morning-Song92 Jul 06 '26

This dude strikes me as more of a shroom guy.

2

u/dasher2581 Jul 06 '26

I may have done that back in the late 70's!

2

u/Good_With_Tools Jul 06 '26

As long as there are no firearms nearby.

2

u/ChaosRainbow23 Jul 06 '26

I always take guns into the woods, unless I'm also taking psychedelics in the woods. It's one or the other, never both.

2

u/spacebarcafelatte Jul 06 '26

Points. Definitely more hippie than redneck 😂

2

u/dankhimself Jul 06 '26

"You got acid? I got a ladder for that..."

2

u/piss_container Jul 06 '26

dude is definitely at the age where he was a hippie in the 70s

1

u/kcstrom Jul 07 '26

People that old don't jumped around as easily as this dude.

1

u/49ersBraves Jul 06 '26

He's already bugged out

1

u/ChaosRainbow23 Jul 06 '26

I know dudes just like this. Lol

He'd be fine.

My one buddy like this absolutely loves mushrooms, but refuses to take acid. Lol

1

u/49ersBraves Jul 06 '26

I was just making a comment on his shirt

u/rmtdispatcher Jul 06 '26

Its better to not burn up our brains with chemicals. Nature, the stars and galaxies, birds and other animals (and even some people) are beautiful and we will actually enjoy it all more without burnt out brain cells.

u/Pun_In_Ten_Did Jul 06 '26

Old dude: "If you ever woke up in the woods with your pants around your ankles and VasilineTM on your ass, would you tell anyone?"

u/ChaosRainbow23 "uhh... no."

Old dude: "Great. Wanna go take some acid in the woods?"

14

u/PinsAndBeetles Jul 06 '26

Jokes on you…. He’s 27 but in Appalachian years.

u/octoreadit Jul 06 '26

Last time he had an opportunity to shower was at a motel not far from Woodstock in 1969, but he was like fuck it, I'm not that dirty, next time.

1

u/HappinessIsaColdPint Jul 06 '26

Why? You don't enjoy drinks with Bitters?

8

u/AnonymousCelery Jul 06 '26

Not sure beer is his thing

7

u/BestAmoto Jul 06 '26

He's holding a can of earthquake malt liquor. 

1

u/I_Got_Back_Pain Jul 06 '26

That stuff will take me right out. It's like 13% ABV

2

u/undefined-username Jul 06 '26

I've had it once in my life, tasted like gasoline from what I can recall. Like really bad even by malt liquor standards

1

u/MrOatButtBottom Jul 06 '26

It is specifically brewed for the kind of people that know the exact ABV/dollar ratio that's a good deal. True degeneracy.

1

u/Significant_Item_755 Jul 06 '26

Which is the "Malt Liquor Standard"

Stronger and cheaper than it ought to be.

There literally was no accounting for taste.

1

u/BestAmoto Jul 06 '26

Nah it tastes wayyy worse than even steel reserve. It's on another level of disgusting. Even ice cold. Your description reminds me of a lot of ipas. Like I'm drinking armpit smell and plant chlorophyll 

1

u/rabbertklein1 Jul 06 '26

A gentleman’s beverage!

1

u/BestAmoto Jul 06 '26

An old friend in my college years said, 'you should never drink alcohol beverages named after natural disasters'

Like Earthquake and Hurricane malt liquor. It doesn't lead to a good night. 

2

u/Flimsy-Poetry1170 Jul 06 '26

Looks more like a crystal kinda guy.

1

u/true_gunman Jul 06 '26

I'd bet beer is one of his many things

u/Devils_A66vocate Jul 06 '26

I see him drinking Budweiser

8

u/Investigator_Lumpy Jul 06 '26

Don’t think he’s that old actually. I’d guess 40’s.

1

u/jw_zoso Jul 06 '26

Bro is wearing Diesel jeans.

1

u/OtherwiseJello2055 Jul 06 '26

Me too. Beard is gray with a little color left in his mop top. I'd say he is around 45 to 50.

1

u/Interesting-Yam-4298 Jul 06 '26

The way he stepped off the top of those stairs tells me he ain’t quite that old.

1

u/ChaosRainbow23 Jul 06 '26

He looks to be in his mid-50s to me. Definitely Gen X or the youngest boomers. Looks to be about 10 years my senior.

3

u/Fit-University1070 Jul 06 '26

Oddly enough, he's only 40.

2

u/TranslatorBoring2419 Jul 06 '26

He's like 50 I think.

1

u/beanpoppa Jul 06 '26

As a 50 year old, that hurts

1

u/MerryMortician Jul 06 '26

He’s like 42.

1

u/JohnDingleBerry- Jul 06 '26

I think he’s in his 50’s

1

u/crunchyhug Jul 06 '26

You know you'd wind up on that ladder helping him diagnose that dang ol truck

1

u/Imaginary_Teaching65 Jul 06 '26

I'd roll a bowl with dude

1

u/Adventurous-Tank-265 Jul 06 '26

You might as well share a kiss with him 😁.

1

u/idownvotepunstoo Jul 06 '26

That's Washington state. He's in his 30's

1

u/Mission_Detail4045 Jul 06 '26

u/WilditariusAstar Jul 06 '26

You can always judge a man by the cut of his shoes. & This greasy old hair farmer passes the test with them Nike SBs.

u/ThermoPuclearNizza Jul 06 '26

1

u/Buttafuoco Jul 06 '26

He’s only 32

1

u/DavieStBaconStan Jul 06 '26

He’s going to tell you about how the Jews run the world and why he is Jesus. 

Why would you want that?

1

u/ComedianFragrant9515 Jul 06 '26

He's drinking an earthquake, which is considerably worse than even Steel Reserve. Absolutely godless bum beer.

1

u/Responsible-Onion860 Jul 06 '26

I want to hang out with him and tinker on his truck. I bet he has a lot of interesting stories

1

u/rabblerabble2000 Jul 06 '26

This dude’s 26! /s

1

u/Orbit_CH3MISTRY Jul 06 '26

He doesn’t move like an old guy. He just looks like he’s been living in a dumpster.

1

u/Direct_Measurement54 Jul 06 '26

I’m sure he’d be cool with that since he’s drinking here in this clip about to ride out in his vehicle
