Here’s the nursing school pharase for anticholinergic side effects: Can’t see, can’t pee, can’t spit, can’t shit. Doctors tend to use: red as a beet, dry as a bone, blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, hot as a hare, full as a flask.
If going through that just to also be able to hallucinate sounds appealing to you, go for it.

just eat some psychedelics like a normal person the worst those can do is shatter your image of self and then rebuild it, oh and sometimes your muscles can ache a little afterwards because flexing them felt amazing

I think it should be pointed out that some traditional psychoactive drugs (such as datura) work the same was (they’re potent anticholinergics) and you’d have to be nuts to use them.

Scopolamime is a deleiriant not a hallucinogen, it is not fun or recreational at all, don’t do it kids

Not a psychedelic*. It very much is a hallucinogen.

Any advice on getting decent info for someone considering beginning that particular journey?

As an alternative to psychedelics, you can reach the same states through meditation. With modern techniques you won’t even need to sit under a tree for 49 days.
shneancy@lemmy.world 3 months ago
technically you can but that’s going to take you roughly 100 times longer and might not work at all

Look, I did not plant this bodhi tree for the fun of it, I’ll take my 45 days!
But also any links to meditation advice is appreciated

Also seratonin sickness and personally acid gives me a crazy fever

Yeah I looked into mushrooms until I realized that people on SSRI meds won’t get anything from it and also seraronin sickness is lethal in some cases.

The only time I’ve heard of serotonin syndrome being a real risk is with MAOIs and alcohol.
Shrooms/SSRIs causing it is not something I’ve ever been able to find information about. Every time I try to dig something up, because I am pretty careful about mixing drugs, the vague consensus (that is, in sources that aren’t making blanket statements about mind-altering drugs in general being bad because drugs are bad) is it’s probably fine, maybe it lessens the trip altogether, maybe it lessens the negative side effects, we just need to look into it more. Serotonin syndrome is a conspicuous thing to not mention if that’s a risk with any significant merit to it.
It’s certainly an emerging field due to psilocybin’s place on the drug schedule preventing any very extensive research, but it seems to me like that claim is based mostly on conjecture just because they both can increase presence of serotonin. The exact mechanisms of which not even being fully understood by science and so aren’t very good bases to draw sweeping conclusions from without research.
I’m both an SNRI user (strattera) and occasional psychonaut (not more than once a month, if I had to give an average for the year). I’ve never had anything but positive experiences with mushrooms and haven’t noticed any difference on vs off my SNRI.
Had a bad trip on acid once but that was more down to hubris than anything else. I wasn’t even on the SNRI back then.
This is of course anecdotal so absolutely take in all the information and make your own decisions for your body. Just thought I’d share what I know.
