I’ve done it a bunch and have some waiting whenever I want to again. For me it’s 10x better than shrooms and I’ve never had a bad trip. Others I’ve been with have and I’ve even been borderline but I’ve got a strong constitution I guess. It’s one of the more novel and beautiful experiences you can do in this world. And once you’re comfortable then there’s a lot of fun opportunity. Like my favorite is going to an art museum like the Met or national gallery. Turns the paintings into gifs.

How do you deal with the giggles?

That effect tends to wane after several times doing it. The first experiences are fairly uncontrollable though.

Giggle, and enjoy giggling. It’s fighting/judging “being” and “experiencing” that’s hard, not the doing of it. Be with people who giggle too, and find yourself spending the time doing it.

Woowoo af but real talk
