I ate 8g of dried shrooms a few days ago. Once things really got going, I spent the time mostly in the dark at home focusing on whatever came to me. The intentions I set were for ego death of some kind. Much of it was spent grieving childhood trauma and the state of the world, most of which was done while singing, snorting, making other mouth noises, laughing, crying, or some combination of those. Yesterday, I realiz…

That’s a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. I wish you and your partner a lovely Christmas and the best of luck for your future together.

Christmas brought us our first snow of the season and the beginning of our next big collaboration:

We purchased santaisdeadlonglivesanta.net with the intention of starting a movement in anarchogiving. She's even willing to put a picture of her bearded face on it!

And thank you for your response...I don't see many comments like that on here.

This is a great resource to anyone interested in psychedelics in general. I've only done psychedelics twice in my lifetime, both with the same friend, and both times NOT in ideal scenarios (because we were both tripping without a sober person trip-sitting us). I would like to warn anyone interested that *tripping is risky if you suffer from high anxiety or OCD*. My first trip was an incredible experience, I couldn't…

Do you ever feel that way normally? I've felt it a bunch of times, but I've worked through it with meditation (without drugs)... I think psychedelics just bring out deeper parts of the mind. I don't do them anymore, but I used to, so I have some experience. I'm not a teetotaler, I still drink alcohol and smoke weed sometimes, but I'm done with psychedelics for the time being.

Yeah, I had been experiencing it for years before I ever tried psychedelics, I just didn't know it was something "real".

Before I knew what it was, if I had an episode of "harm OCD", I would sometimes feel physically ill and excuse myself to the bathroom and repeatedly splash water on my face until the feeling went away. Sometimes I'd keep my hands behind my back on purpose (the idea being that I would harm someone with my hands).

Since learning what it is, I'm more easily able to dispel it when it arises. Simply knowing "oh, this is OCD" is powerful enough for me to get on with my life. For the record, I completely abstain from psychedelics or any recreational drugs now (with the exception of coffee, and light alcohol at social gatherings).
