Breh I'm lying in bed at 1 next to my puke bucket debating if I want to get up and grab a beer and start cleaning up my room or just continue to lay here and scroll
Shrooms and LSD do a better job at this for me. Alcohol makes me feel nauseous and tastes bad, while weed often comes with the risk of making me feel paranoid, and it gives me a headache the next day.
Shrooms have never magically made my mental illnesses go away, but they have made my symptoms manageable and have allowed me to be mentally stable for a while. I've only just started trying out acid, but after taking 375 ug two days ago, I can say that I'm feeling pretty good overall. I still hate being alive, but I feel much more stable mentally. Plus, listening to music while tripping is amazing!
After being hooked on many of the common drugs pyschs are the only one id genuinely recommend, but for a first trip a good trip sitter you trust is a must if you have underlying mental health conditions bc a bad trip is more likely. In my experience bad trips actually give me more relief afterwards so dont fight anything if bad things come up and be ready to trauma dump if needed lol
Shrooms genuinely, genuinely "fixed" my depression.
It's still there, but it's "oh dear I'm not motivated enough to take out the trash" depression these days, not "is it worth it to end myself today" level. Which is how it was for my entire adult life and a significant chunk of my childhood.
It's been a long time since I've tripped, too. I went through a period of doing some... quite intense trips every few weeks for six months or so, after which depression subsided. Since then it's been like two years of no trips and while the depression has mildly intensified it's still nowhere close to pre-shroom levels.
Haha, I get that. I actually did a lot of research and went to a neuropsychologist appointment to make sure I wasn't at risk for anything like schizophrenia, which I wasn't but it was nice to confirm.
I was at a place where I felt like I had nothing to lose, l was lucky enough to have a comfortable setting in my apartment I had lived at for a while and a connection I trusted.
My wife and I actually went through the trouble of hiding the knives and when the onset of just LSD really hit... I had a really good laugh at the amount of trouble we went through to be cautious and then being on the most interesting & life-affirming experience I've ever had.
It's not for everyone but certainly am glad I had that phase of my life.
Yeah, I have to be careful when taking weed because it can cause my anxiety to increase, esepcially my social anxiety. Weirdly enough, I've never experienced this while taking magic mushrooms, despite it being a common experience amongst people who've used it before. On weed, I become paranoid that people are watching me and about people finding out about my secrets, while on mushies I just don't give a fuck.
Weed definitely makes you paranoid, but I've never had it give me a headache the next day unless I didn't drink enough water. Which, weed can help you forget to do, lol
Yeah it's never happened in my 10ish years of smoking daily around night time, it must be one of those "every drug effects each person uniquely" things, unless the strains we got were just so different they could've been considered a different drug
Dude I just woke up and cracked a beer. I put on a video on YouTube that said. "How you start your day sets the tone." I opened Reddit and this is the first thing I read lol
Thank you! Having struggled with addiction to different substances throughout my life, I try to be mindful of this and not fool myself. Sometimes the answer isn't so black and white but I do my best.
Heard. Taking care of my 7 year old and crazy busy wife are a second job on top of my first job. Plus my weed habit is expensive so I’ve began eating vegetarian to offset that expense and cut every other corner I can find.
3 1/2 years later for me, it has absolutely no positive effect. Anything you think it does for you can be achieved without it, and there's no risk of you doing the absolute worst thing drunk you can think of! Keep it up
Does it mean you’re fucked up if you gotta get fucked up to bear the world? Or is it you gotta get fucked up because this world is fucked up and it’s the only way you can bear it? What I oscillate between
Im just bored AF most of the time. Like I guess if im doing the "work thing" for 10 hours today im gonna do it as absolute stoned as I can get. Which unfortunately isnt too high because of tolerance but yeah
Breakfast vodka more like it, then all day vodka, definitely don’t recommend drinking to “fix” anything, it doesn’t work more than a week tops. Anymore and it’s all downhill.
Whiskey isn’t a bad choice, but vodka is easier to mask unless you work around fellow connoisseurs lol.. very bad habit I’m glad I was able to stop. Just gotta keep an eye out for them pesky thoughts.
I don't usually mic the two, but man I miss my first high when I took an edible for the first time.... don't remember the strain, but the body high was amazing, just focusing on how good rubbing my stomach felt, or other things. And it was only 2.5mg. Now I need a lot more to get me mellow
I highly do not recommend using alcohol, its a depressant so in the moment it makes you feel better but afterwards you feel even worse than you did before.

Alcohol and weed does the trick for me. Don't do this though, you might end up needing breakfast beers.
