  • LSD, shrooms and MDMA are a specific groups of drugs. Just like narcotics are. But they aren’t the same group. Opiates, benzos, etc “downers” are narcotics if we’re being technical.

    Tell me, how long have you suffered from treatment resistant severe clinical depression? Oh you haven’t? Ah. But you’re just saying those people would be just as well off without said medication?

    Mind you, I don’t think you complain when people have a drink or two to relax.

    Huh, bottom three, the least dangerous ones. Which are those?


  • It also depends a lot on how you did and what and in what sort of an environment and with what sort of company.

    These experiences are highly subjective and I don’t deny that often mushrooms cause nausea for instance. LSD and MDMA less so, but it’s not unheard of.

    They’re not perfect, but there’s very much is science behind my point.


  • onto your keyboard and reply with human words instead of having a clanker do the work for you. It’s obvious with your lazy replies

    Gee, thanks buddy. I remember like 20 years ago when people used to be super snide much in a similar way as you are now. Only it was “it’s obvious you have wall hacks” because I listened a little bit better than they did. It feels just, so good.

    Who the fuck would use an AI to write forum replies? You, probably. Or someone you know. See you accuse me of being friendly with machines when you call yourself “a real machinist.”

    Your dumbfounded “I’ll not open your Wikipedia links without explanation”-ignorance is the reason I come to forums like these. I enjoy watching you get upset and project a ton. :)










  • It also won’t fix the problem

    It most definitely can. While obviously recreational use is a bit different than having MDMA/psilocybin/LSD-therapy (or ketamine, which is slightly more acceptable for some reason, but works in a different fashion psychoactively so not relevant here).

    And then you further realize that you never will feel that way again without drugs.

    Lol any other drug propaganda you heard in preschool you wish to share? I’ve done every single drug you can think of, never addicted to anything except maybe weed a bit (and when I was younger also cigarettes and caffeine), and I’ve never felt anything even close as powerful as when you properly get infatuated. Because that is honestly a very strong cocktail of hormones and the difference between hormones and neurotransmitters is quite small, some acting as both.

    Remember that the first time is always the strongest!)

    Also incorrect. Was you first time tasting coffee the strongest caffeine rush you’ve had, or was it a bit later when you’d got used to it and could binge? Same with alcohol. Except that with serotonergic substances, you don’t do that.

    One single use can alleviate severely depression on terminally ill patients for months. Literally. That’s not those people being high or having some false sense of happiness.

    If you want me to get more objective about how it works and why I suggest it to OP, then here. Think of your emotional memory being associative memory, like smells are. You can probably remember what your first gf/bf smelled like, at least vaguely, but if you actually had the taste in front of your nose, it would unlock just tons of visceral memories. Now you had those memories even before having the scent in your nose, but they were sort of “locked” behind the associated trigger. It’s not about what is a trigger and what is not, but the general associative nature of it. When you do a serotonergic substance for a sufficient dose, it floods your head with all sorts of those triggers, but the ones that have to do with serotonin, ie good feelings of unity etc orrr on the flipside high anxiety (that’s why MDMA with a therapist is preferred to shrooms by yourself, so it actually goes the pleasant route and you don’t get a serotonin induced panic response, ie a “bad trip”). And since your brain is flooded, it also unlocks a lot of memories of happy times and contentedness, which in depression just sort of “fade away” because you haven’t felt them in a long time and depression is a feedback loop.

    Thats why you need a powerful substance to break the loop.

    So unlike psychiatrist have been pushing for like 30 years, serotonin reuptake inhibitors (prozac, cipralex, escitalopram, etc) don’t actually function well, despite there being a little bit of an idea behind it (as in a correctly identified system, serotonin). The problem is that low dose over a long time won’t help, high dose over a short time will. Kinda like setting something on fire. A slightly warm electric battery won’t help no matter how long you keep dry grass on it.

    Shit analogy at the end but the theories hold true.

    I can find more detailed sources but I’m kinda tired and wrote all that already so leave your questions/doubts under this akd I’ll adress them tomorrow if you can’t find it on this basic wiki which I didn’t read currently I’ve just read a lot over the years and can’t be arsed to try and look for specific references rn

  • That was a relatively recent invention

    Idk man I think the paleolithic predates ancient Egypt.

    Most date from the Gravettian period (26,000–21,000 years ago).[1] However, findings are not limited to this period; for example, the Venus of Hohle Fels dates back at least 35,000 years to the Aurignacian era, and the Venus of Monruz dates back about 11,000 years to the Magdalenian, and the Catalhoyuk figurine[2], 8000 years old.

  • But he was always sucking on his fags and he paid for them fair and square.

    And do you have any idea how high fags are taxed in this day and age?

    It’s not like when I was a boy. I was sucking fags left and right without a care in the world about paying for them. Granted pretty often they were the cheaper sort that you got from cruise-boats, tax free.

    Pic related, it’s one of those boats for cruising. I’ve also heard them referred to as “fuckboats” but honestly it’s more the tax-free that pulls in people.
