In the DMT world, carts are being sold known as Toad with the 5-MeO-DMT. Lots of very unhappy customers when they are not expecting it.
I wish this was true in the Bay Area. 5-MeO-DMT does not seem to be available and it’s supposedly a unique experience.

Reminds me of the datura all over my yard. I keep chopping them down (while wearing gloves) but they keep coming back. They're pretty but definitely a "look, don't eat" plant.
The datura trip reports on Erowid were my favorite. Such a weird plant.

#64People really overthink drugs. You don't need anything more than psilocybin and some weed from time to time. Anything else is just unnecessary noise and introduces vulnerabilities to your Fortress of Mind. Backdoor here, trapdoor here, tunnel there. Before you know it, your psyche collapses under all the brain neuroplasticity. Mind cannot form any shape at all. Truly terrible thought so be careful my people. Don't ma…
If you've only experienced those two then it's like you're sticking to black and white when there's a whole spectrum of other colours out there you're just discarding with no particularly good rationale. Plus you can screw yourself up with psilocybin and weed perfectly adequately.

#65I've tried this before and it was an incredibly profound experience. Happy to answer questions if folks have any.

Oh I’m fine with receiving conflicting takes. I wouldn’t post any of this on e.g. reddit because it offers no value to the users there. HN is a different crowd. I am “shutting down” comments here based on their perceived merit, not because they personally offend my sensibilities. I am comfortable holding people here to a higher standard of rigor, and accept when my own comments are responded to in kind, because that…
hard drugs wreck the body and cause dependency. amphetamine does both those things regardless as to whether an accredited body claims otherwise. if you think it's ok to dose swathes of the population with hard drugs because it's 'good enough' then we completely disagree and I start to move more towards the other guy's viewpoint where it seems you are supporting the system over individuals. it isn't easy for non amphe…
(Also worth noting that side-effects and effective doses are something clinical trials aim to establish. That gives you the data to make those kinds of cost-benefit decisions, which you can’t do with illegal drugs. So it’s not the same.)

Have you ever tried mushrooms? If so, can you compare the experiences?
Suspect that for many 5-MEO is something you do once in a lifetime. It's not necessary to do it on a regular basis, and you'll know why after you try it for the first time :)

#69Every time I find one of these in my backyard with my dog, I have to spray my dog’s mouth out with the hose for 5 minutes. Psychedelic, but also very toxic.

#70Have any studies been done on this particular psychedelic? I'm curious.
A couple groups are trying to commercialize it. There have been some trials, but they're all relatively limited by depression trial standards. Double-blind is impossible because the participants know 100% if they've received it or not. Someone volunteering to sign up for a depression study to receive psychedelic drugs is probably a believer that they work, so the placebo groups end up disappointed and the active grou…
