Nah, I just don’t know where to get drugs.

Not that i stopped, and would absolutely have either if the opportunity ever presented its self again (probably not). I found that the older you get in general just makes it harder since, at least in my experience, you have way more to worry about that eats at you. Closer to death, more health issues, money could be worse than before, wife/husband and possibly kids to worry about. Stupid things i did in my early 20’s would never fly today just because I think things through way more and realize how bad those things were back then lol. Thankfully the few times i was able to do these things were all great experiences despite that, and its most likely to being with good friends who also joined.

Also, lsd lasts a LONG time, and it’s easier to find a whole day to fuck off into space when you’re younger. I’ve got a kid, I can’t get 12 minutes of free time at once, let alone 12 hours.
fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Exactly. Going on tour and dosing for a bunch of days and having a long enough time off to come down and just chill is not possible anymore.
fleem@piefed.zeromedia.vip 19 hours ago
damn, its been a few years but i hadn’t considered all that extra baggage weighing down a trip now that i am older.
but i think i am due for it. i think it is healthy to have a nice safe trip in a good environment.
i always feel so refreshed for like.. 3 months-ish? after a trip
cmeu@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Yeah that’s what’s stopped me…I used to trip the light fantastic, but anymore, the thought of ego death isn’t liberating, and as I’ve gotten older my background anxiety (set) seems to only go in one direction. Kids, House, work, etc… it’s a little late for me to tune out and drop out

Maturing is realizing you’re not mentally stable enough to do acid.
Wisdom is doing it anyway.

I am far more mentally stable now than when I was follow the Grateful Dead and doing tons of acid. That was a fun time.
BanMe@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
I’m just too tired and busy. I had 4 tabs of acid in my psychedelic cupboard. Someone gave me more, now I have 7. One of these years I’ll get away and trip my balls off in a forest, but it’s not this year.
Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Why would you wanna trip balls in the forest? That’s how you become an acid trip for a bear.
dontpanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 hours ago
You must not have heard of the Electric Forest Festival.
There are some bears, but not that kind.
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 18 hours ago
It really depends on the forest but that’s where the best trips can happen.

Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 hours ago
Ugh it’s so hard to break through though… out of 10+ times with n,n- I’ve only broken through a handful of times.
The most intense 15 minutes of my life each time, though…
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 13 hours ago
Are psychedelics really this popular, or is lemmy just full of people that like them? I had assumed they were a rather niche thing, but the sentiment towards them here today (and not just this post either) seems notably positive, though the descriptions people give sound existentially horrifying to me. Then again, I get anxious enough towards drugs that Ive not even tried alcohol let alone anything less common, so maybe I’m just the weirdo here.

Other that fooling around on lemmy my hobby is going to raves so I use MDMA/MDA/LSD once or twice per month. All my friends I meet them on parties, so using is just part of the social circle, but we do other things sober too, like picnics or board game nights. I work in corporate so is something I don’t share with my coworkers, but my wife used to work in a restaurant and was pretty normal to go to party after her shift with her coworkers and get blasted
treesapx@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I used to be completely sober all the way through my 30s. I tried things later and they really helped me see life from different angles. I didn’t try shrooms until I felt I was ready. They are easily one of the best things that ever happened to me. I would not suggest trying them unless you feel comfortable, are in a very familiar environment, and you have a trustworthy, caring friend to keep you company.
Donkter@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
It definitely depends. It’s also hard to tell. My most straight-laced friends from college did acid at least once if not more, and there is a friend or two of mine that I would swear on my life experimented with drugs if I didn’t know better.
That’s something people don’t really acknowledge about drugs. The actual rate of hard abuse or like injuries/death is relatively low. It’s like driving a car, it’s one of the most common causes of death but the actual chance is so low that you don’t really think about that every time you hop in one. Similarly, a lot more people have done drugs (at least once) than you would expect. It’s just if you only take acid once there’s an overwhelming chance that it won’t have any long-term effects (except for the epiphany that there’s a wider world out there than just our every day perception lol)
Then again, it varies wildly by region so there’s a fine chance that it really isn’t as popular around you.
fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Most of my friends have done acid.
backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 12 hours ago
I think that the nature of Lemmy attracts people who are drawn to seek out new experiences and alternative lifestyles, so it’s less that psychs are widely popular and more this community has a higher percentage of users. That said, I don’t know anybody that does acid on the regular anymore, it was pretty uncommon when I was a teen, and the people who I know who like to trip (usually hippies, ravers, and punks) are typically doing shrooms. Might also be because I live in shroom country so they’re easy to find and cheap if you have to buy them. Gotta say, a few days in the middle of the backcountry with a dose it nice, I can’t imagine doing it and going to the bar on a weekend.

I’m to mentally stable to do acid.
we’ve run into a paradox where nobody should do acid
DivingRacoon@lemmus.org 14 hours ago
It’s one of the safest drug experiences though. I love taking it.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Honestly yeah that’s an important act of maturity. I love acid, but I waited until I was ready for it. I haven’t done it in years but it was hugely helpful for my self improvement during a difficult and transitional stage of life. Too early and it may not have gone so well
AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
I started early , I watched people lose their minds permanently, I never stopped and found in old age it is a far more enjoyable experience. I appreciate it like a fine work of art that young me just didn’t understand. I honestly couldn’t imagine what my life would have been like if I couldn’t step away from this world from time to time.
Drugs aren’t for everybody, I don’t recommend them but if you are going to take LSD make sure you have a blast of DMT to go with it. It’s the bomb

ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 hours ago
I’ve never done acid but I did shrooms twice and haven’t had the balls to try again.
The first time was ok, but the second time, come-up anxiety was so intense I spent the entire trip throwing up, shitting my brains out, and having a panic attack. I can’t do that again, but I’m still full of anxiety, so… nope.
Someday id like to try an extract, I’ve heard the mushroom itself is where the anxiety and gastric discomfort comes from, but yeah I’m just not really motivated in case thats wrong.

You might like 4-aco or AMT. Mushies have historically given me horrible tummy problems and hour-long waves of shits, but 4-aco and AMT are very similar to mushies and did not make my tummy angry at all!

Depression is hoping a heroic dose of acid causes ego death and maybe life will be slightly less painful afterwards.
