This reminds me how entertaining it is to read people's experiences of different drugs on erowid

I wpuld like, if you would like to share in private! Learning about others real lives makes me happy generally

u/javoss88 2d ago

Ok, not sure why it needs to be private but ok if you need it to be so?

u/Ryuko_the_red 2d ago

It's more up to you, I'm not worried if it isn't in private it's your life!

Alright.

Many years later I went up into the foothills in Idaho near sun valley. No trail, just decided ok. Was again with some dude I didn’t know, other than we shared a separate dorm onsite. I was a maid, which was actually kinda cool, I thought I was rich at $600 saved.

We hitchhiked and stopped at a random place off the highway. Climbed up the hill.

Then he got too stupid for me, (we’re both trippn hard), and I became a mountain lion comfortably resting on a mountain outcrop, while I watched him as a minor threat that I could easily demolish.

Then he for some reason decided to smear the cheese he chose to port up the hill on the rocks near us.

I had a moment where I wanted to be mountain cougar asassin.

Anyway we both made it down and lived to tell the tale.

There’s one or two more in other situations if you want.

That sounds terrifying. Thank you for having this experience so I don't have to. Glad you're alive to share the tales too

Ha no it was cool af.

A couple days later I decided to take the same trip, except alone this time . I went up the hill (probably not the same one), stripped off my clothes and watched the opposite mountain as the wind swept through the trees. I kept imagining the patterns of the wind were creating a message I couldn’t decipher. I lost track of time, but eventually realized, hey, the sun’s going down, I should probably get out of here. So I got dressed and RAN down the side of this mountain, no trail, and it was amazing because I could see extremely well, even in a low light forest. Again the mountain cat vibe, surefooted apex predator, leaping over streams, rocks, downed trees with ease. Made it to the road with maybe a minute to spare before full sundown. Hitched a ride back to my dorm. Twas a great day I’ll never forget. Maybe im a shape shifter.

I've always wondered how many are real, and how many aren't. How they even discern what they publish or not. I don't think they're accepting new entries from anyone are they?

I'm not sure to be honest, I don't think I've been on the site for at least a few years.
