As promised, a follow-up.

Did Ayahuasca for the first time. I ruined the brew, and decided to take powder by mouth. I think my MAOIs failed to activate, but I had a light/moderate DMT trip for about 2 hours in grand total. Most prominent CEVs I’ve ever seen. Vomiting was tolerable. Incredibly relaxing after, actually. Thoughts trailed off moreso than anything else I’ve encountered, though. It was absolutely a positive growing experience. I have confidence now.

Mullein leaf. Got this for a changa mix, but it’s genuinely useful stuff. Say I wanted to smoke opium. Usually, you’d use cannabis, but mullein is an inactive base. Not only are the leaves very fun to play with, but I also learned after the fact of its medicinal benefits. Specific use cases, but great.

Amanita muscaria. Bit of a bust, but smoking it did have weak effects. The skin of the caps contains the bulk of the compounds, and I’ll have to try scraping enough for a bowl some day. I could not tolerate eating enough for prominent effects, but I was left in a good mood. Surprisingly pleasant smoke.

Mugwort. This one’s fun. Initially, I thought it had no effect, but no. Dreams have been easier to recall, and more grounded in reality. Fun in its own right. Very pleased with it, I really like it.

Wild dagga, kanna, blue lotus and maca root soon. Wild dagga and kanna look extremely promising.

As an “atheist”, the aura of the psychedelic experience is bizarrely spiritual. I think I have some good scientific understanding of it, but it’s still extraordinary. They could be considered a “gift from God”, in a sense. There is something about the experience that inherently produces this feeling, and I think it’s explainable.

I also just find the idea of engaging with religion as a work of fiction quite fun. Spirituality has been entertaining for the same reason I love RPGs. I’m a therian, but believe therianthropy has a science to it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sense being one. However, the notion I was an animal in a past life, or had a past life at all, seems ridiculous to me. My brain chemistry is just bizarrely attuned to nature in comparison to others.

So indeed, mushrooms do exist, and they could be the closest thing we have to a God. I don’t know if that’s the best explanation, but that’s just my perspective.

I do know a cocaine addict–or former. They’re far from insufferable, but I was worrying about it.

I just find it insane that cocaine is so damn expensive–that’s £36.36 per gramme, going by this article. About £1/25mg dose, and the average dose will cost double that. For comparison (I use a vaporiser), my 0.25g bowl will get me high multiple times for about the same price, for several times longer.

Cocaine actually costs more than that.

You get a measly 15ish minute caffeine rush. And, most likely, an addiction. I’d try it (only for the sake of saying I’ve done it, for definitive proof that it’s pointless)… my expectations are pretty damn low.

Profitable, for sure–similar to how tobacco is. But damn, I do not get it. Between the risk of arrest for dealing a drug that isn’t all that valuable, and actually using it, I genuinely do not get it. Like, at least make the bricks garden gnome shaped. Out of MDMA. That’d be a way better surprise for the Dutch authorities.

You’ll have to watch me start first 😤

Watch me.

This comic is yeag tbh

Quite surprised to see Ukraine doesn’t have its own instance

There’s a high risk of fainting and vomiting, which can cause asphyxiation during unconsciousness. This is similar to how Jimi Hendrix died. It is a very real danger. It’s good to know to place someone in the recovery position if unconsciousness occurs.

I’ve been open to trying a trackball, and I definitely like the fact that it’s stationary. For the purpose of gaming, the trackball does have a chance at replacing a mouse for me. I prefer thumb flicks, like on controllers, compared to mouse movement.

I’ve been fortunate enough to use a trackpad on macOS, which works very well for a wide variety of reasons. It’s not for gaming, though, unless you want to pull a Wii and treat the trackpad as its own controller, with gimmicks.

Why would it be messy, the chips enter my mouth anyway, I’m just using the bag itself to hold them

Read it as salvia (divinorum) sex and I was like hell yeah but this is cool too

You fool! I eat chips by pushing the bottom of the bag, then grabbing one with my mouth. No utensils required.

Auto > Light/Dark mode

Smoking joints is now illegal. Everyone must use a battery-free vaporiser.

Car bad.

YYYY/MM/DD or riot. 24H time or public execution.

I use Arch btw

Pirate everything.

Pink lemonade is better than regular.

Ramen is made with the flavour packet first, then boiling the noodles in the already-made broth.

The confirm button on a controller goes on the right. Cancel is bottom. Nintendo layout supremacy, fuck you.

You will pet every dog you see without hesitation, even if they growl at you. The tax must be paid.

Trackpad > Mouse

Caffeine is now illegal. Force yourself to stay awake and make it everyone else’s problem for enforcing stupid work hours.

Being a sovcit is always an option

Well yeah, but then that’s mostly rat poison, as opposed to ketamine. Like, I could lace rice with botulinum toxin.

-based based based based based based based based based

Fortunately, and unfortunately, ketamine is rather safe. Just tell him to mix it with alcohol or grapefruit.

How will this affect the future of Terraria

For the record, I am spiritual, and do pursue psychedelics for the sake of healing. As far as enjoyment goes, the only drug I use regularly is cannabis, which has genuinely positive effects on the body. I use others intermittently, on a case by case basis. Then, there’s simple curiosity, which is all encompassing when it comes to this part of me.

I also have a better argument now, which occurred in a random revelation today. Did Steve Irwin’s hobby need to be completely safe? He died doing what he enjoyed, yet nobody (except PETA) criticises him for said hobby. Do the thrill seekers, who walk between skyscrapers, who climb Mount Everest, who swim with sharks, who jump from planes, who all have the same safety precautions that I do–are they wrong for pursuing a hobby with risks associated?

…I’m more laid back. All in all, I’m not the first to have gone down this path. I certainly won’t be the last… given the planet doesn’t end within our lifetimes. None of it has kept me from my job, and paying bills, and doing chores.

I’m also merely a descendant of the hippie movement–the same movement that put human rights in the spotlight, and Martin Luther King Jr. before thousands upon thousands of people. Drugs are human rights as well, as much as that’s been forgotten.

I have no way of separating myself from the others, whose claims that they “know what they’re doing” are mostly hollow. All I can say is that Dominic Milton Trott is an inspiration, and ignoring his warnings would be doing him a great disservice. I promise to be safe.

I’m also making amends with my friends, which goes too deep and personal to explain. You aren’t wrong about me being toxic… there’s some information I’ve held back.
