The long-term effects of sustained psychedelic use on the brain are largely unknown...

>The long-term effects of sustained psychedelic use on the brain are largely unknown, but research published last year found structural changes among people who were regular users of ayahuasca. The study used MRI to scan the brains of 22 people who had consumed it at least 50 times in the previous two years. It found an inverse correlation between the thickness of the posterior cingulate cortex, which is a key hub of the default mode network, and the intensity and duration of ayahuasca use. In other words, this part of the brain was thinner in heavier users. Conversely, an adjacent brain region involved in attention and emotion regulation called the anterior cingulate cortex, which suppresses activity in the default mode network, was thicker.

Mate, I did acid and mescaline weekly for six months. I pushed my dose to 1000mg and repeatedly watched my friend die, lost sense of self and now when I'm sober the floors and walls still move. Overall it's not worth it. Once you see behind the curtain, you'll wish you never did.

what country can i visit if i just wanted to trip balls just one time legally?

i did acid (2+ tabs) once a week for 4 months, and then continued using it sporadically. Ive done psychs over 50 times.

I've been taking acid once a month for the last 3 years. I'm happier, healthier, and more sexually active. I'm not sure what it did to you, but I feel liberated, especially after watching the holy mountain while on acid. Maybe it all depends on the user. I should also note that I've never took mescaline though.

Your dumbass fault for abusing them kappa. I did lsd weekly for 5 months and quit because it gave me depersonalization but it's weened off now. Abusing anything isnt good for you, respect them.

Don't get me wrong, I understand myself more and I learnt a lot, but (as edgy and pretentious this sounds) it just shows the falseness in the world and society, you can only laugh at it for so long before when you go along with reality, it feels dumb.

Smoked weed heavily for 6 months, now totally sober. I was worried I made myself stupid permanently but after the THC left my system everything was back to normal. I can definitely say I can remain more passionate about stuff than before. I would get high and watch historical documentarues, so my brain is so much better at thinking in historical terms than before, might be just regular learning or it might be weed helping to strengthen neural pathways. Either way I like myself more on weed. Fixed my anxiety and depression right quick, made me stop feeling like I wanted to kill myself constantly.

I am a firm believer in the "soma holiday": take a month or two off to get fucked up on psychedelics and work through personal shit. Then come back to regular life without drugs.

Been smoking weed daily for 20 years since I was 14, can't imagine life sober

It also helped me get rid of my opiate addiction

What do you do for a living? Is it a job that requires much thinking? I am currently viewing my job as an extended t-break because life on the planet of weed is wonderful. Life is beautiful, the world is friendlier, you feel like a kid again, music feels like resonance of the beautiful and benevolent universe.... Its just the best.

I took it at 250 ug before with a champion psychonaut who went around trolling people in a sketchy Shopper's Drug Mart, kept calm during a wild ride with someone who looked liked he was falling asleep at the wheel (takes prescription benzo), and then watched the anime version of pic related for hours without having a bad trip. Even after a mushroom-related bad trip full of vomiting and being convinced I was poisoned to death (or having homeostasis disrupted) I recovered after a day or two and came back for more.

I'd say it was it was pretty worth it, especially the times I took a lower dose alone. Pretty good drug for productivity and personal growth desu.

Do you have any other animes that you recommend watching while tripping? I've seen quite a few, but am always open for some new stuff.

We can all agree that adventure time is pretty much only worth watching while on drugs, right? The bright colors, random humor, and voice acting ar3 so appealing while stoned and/or tripping

Gankutsuou. Its a little melancholy but man the visuals are worth it.

Please tell us more. How long can you take it (assuming once or twice a week at medium to high dose) before those diminishing returns kick in?

It all depends on what each individual brain responds to. I personally find marijuana to be useful as complement (can take you into a trip within a trip) , but pretty alcohol tier by itself.

I agree, but your subconscious is a dark motherfucker. I met a man while tripping who told me he sold heroin just to kill people to collect souls for the devil.

no one needs to take ayahuasca 50 times in 2 years. it's best used for healing, not for fun.

don't overdo the acid either. acid casualties are real.

but definitely try acid at least once in your life.

I've just started noticing diminishing returns after watching the holy mountain which was about a month ago (not sure if there's a correlation, i doubt it). I usually complement it with weed too.

Taking it within a week or two may give those effects that you're talking about. I've dropped a few times within a week and notice what you were experiencing, you just need self control and space it out.

My method so far is to just keep spacing it out, like weed. Take a break, read a book, work out, video games, or however it is you kill time. After a long break, you should be back in wonderland.

Have you watched the berserk movies while tripping? You're in for a treat if you haven't. I'll look into Gankutsuou, thanks user.

I find it dependent on strain. Indica is pretty alcohol-tier (but ironically it helped me kick my alcoholism), but Sativa or hybrids like blue dream are way better, imo. More THC the better. Indica is like when you turn the sharpness on your TV way down, and sativa is like when you turn it up so much you can discern individual RGB cels.

you lot are degenerates. don't touch psychedelics more than twice a year.

>Gurren Lagann
>Konosuba
>High School DXD
>Gintama

Any anime that you find to represent an ideal or romanticized world will do. I just don't recommend Soul Eater.

Good, it's about time they actually did research on these drugs, since the US is such pansies about it. It only makes sense it would hinder development of the cingulate, because that's along the path that dopamine and norepinephrine use to travel to the forebrain, and that class of drug works by inhibiting things that break down DA and NE. It's possible the influx of those NTs cause damage to the PCC, which causes the ACC to increase in size in order to compensate.

Totally agree

>Taking it within a week or two may give those effects that you're talking about. I've dropped a few times within a week and notice what you were experiencing

Anything in particular? Would be very interested in seeing a Sup Forums trip report.

It happens whenever I would sleep. My dreams would give those acid visuals. Before I would wake up, I would notice that fuzziness you get while on acid. Nothing while awake and active though. Apparently if you take too much psychedelics, your brain adapts and normalizes you to live in that world. You'll be okay user.

>How much longer must we endure this dysfunctional world before the medical Jews allow us access to the literal red pill and final solution for /r9k/?
Very soon. The various agencies around the world are moving and people are waking up.

DESU this could spell the revival of religion. Could be interesting.

>1000 mg of mescaline
>complains about it
You know there's a sweet spot right? It's not the more the merrier you dumbass.

>permanent brain damage is the real redpill
Holy fuck there are some retards here.

>believing the medical jew

Will have to take a closer look once Canada starts selling its on the open market where product specification is available. I recall many experiences where it made me paranoid or with couch weed that made me asocial and cognitively impaired.

The oil form renders THC to be hydroxylated within the liver into a stronger psychoactive compound. When I took that it felt like the short uncomfortable come up on Mushrooms except it was extended into an 8 hour period and there was not one redeeming quality about it. It made me feel like an autistic grounded child that hadn't bathed for months.

>using abbo degenerate drugs

are you literally a nigger?

I've done ayahuasca plenty of times and my brain works just fine. I'm employed at a top 100 tech company and make over 6 figs

>damage

Think of it as "mental circumcision", schmuel

I've only done jim jam. Is ayahuasca better? 5 mins of that and i can't imagine how people get through hours of ayahuasca.

google.com/search?q=ayahuasca retreats&oq=ayahuasca retreats&aqs=chrome..69i57.11896j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Costa Rica, apparently.

just do it illegally pussy, its really not that difficult to control yourself.

>make over 6 figs
You work a whole month for six figs? Mate, I've got a whole box of them downstairs. You can have them if you can get here.

I've done shrooms about 5 times.

Each about 1/8th or 3.5 grams.

Each trip was very insightful and I learned a lot about myself & it woke me up to what real goes on in society. Observing people at the beach just shows how fucked up our world is getting from single motherhood on the rampant rise, effeminate younger dudes, massive divide by rich & poor, and so forth.

What finally set things in was watching the news on my peak. It is geared to get a specific emotion reaction out of us. That is why when niggers get shot or does something stupid they are referred to as "teens" doesn't matter if they are 25+ years old.

It's all a rigged game lad, you just gotta learn how to navigate it in the meantime because death is the only way out.

I've taken shrooms too and have had none of those thoughts lol. Shrooms just confirmed your paranoia and suspicions to yourself because "Woah, drugs can make you see the truth!"

Psychedelics are a literal blue pill. Look at what happened with the 1960s. Do you want that again?

>watching news on your peak
bro why? their faces must of looked way to fucked up for you to have those thoughts. Why not just walk in the woods like a normal person?

>people form communes
>live self-sufficiently
I'd say thats pretty much a red-pill. That's how most humans have lived for the duration of time. Just because there were drugs involved doesn't make it any less valid.

Well if anyone here can give advice as where you can obtain psychedelics (entire sheets of acid in bulk) from what kind of crowd that would go a long way.

You can buy legit materials and psychedelics at shayanashop and Gaiana, if you want to make ayahuasca (careful since the Harmaline plant contains MAOI inhibitors which are the most dangerous substance to mix with anything). Otherwise, I just happened to know the right people.

>LITERAL communism
>red pill

Of course the commies are red, comrade.

The general population is already degenerate. Such observable changes in people on the macroscopic level shouldn't prevent it from being used by psychonauts or as medicine. I personally don't know anyone who ever acted like a retarded hippie from using psychedelics. No one can tell you're on one at low to moderate doses.

>collectively owning means of production (land)
>collectively owning land (means of production)
>can leave when you want to
>only those who put in the work and pull their own weight can stay

I mean if it was one person owning the land it was feudalism. But you know how socialism works in countries like Switzerland and Norway where everyone puts in? You know how humans have existed for milennia? Its a proven system and if you don't like it you can leave if you want. Alternately, if it's appealing to you you can leave general society and come live in a commune. It's hippie-ish but honestly I think it's a better way to live than the society we have now.

Only drug I use is is caffeine but I use it sparingly. I don't need it to wake up its just nice to drink other than water

OP is posting from a mental institution.

That's why you're a neet with no real prospects.

> repeatedly watched my friend die

if it doesn't cause you much harm, pls explain by what you mean by this

i've done acid at least 6 times, various other psychedelics, shrooms, etc, i'm not a neet with no prospects. i bet user isn't either. you might be suprised.

im not a neet actually. i have a job in skilled trades, which i went to college for. i can handle my shit because i was smart about it. most people arent.

>You know how humans have existed for milennia?
Just because we existed in primitive communistic tribes doesn't mean it's a good system. We also were nomadic for the vast majority of human existence, but I'm sure you wouldn't argue that we try and go back to that. Communism doesn't work at large scales, especially when we live in societies that have a concept of personal ownership, something nomadic people didn't bother developing.

>It's hippie-ish but honestly I think it's a better way to live than the society we have now.

You would, our society is roughly a meritocracy.

No, as an anthropologist I would love to be nomadic as well. You have way more free time to do what you want (as gathering food takes like 2-3 hours instead of 8-10). If you practice seasonal nomadism with horticulture you can migrate so you always live where it's nice and being food/drug crops with you so you never are without. I would happily exist that way with a band of like-minded people.

Been smoking since 15, brain developed on it. A little memory spottiness, and things feel dull without it, though maybe thats life. They say it really hurts the sperm count if you start young though. But you dont know that as a kid.

Weve never lived sober.

but drugs are degenerate

I did 2-CE once and it left me with visual disturbances to this day. Like really active, criss-crossing floaters or worse. I was terrified of it for a while but I basically am okay with it now. Shouldn't have gone near the stuff.

Became addicted to cocaine, then tried meth but only twice, ended up in a homeless hospital, lost all my money, got sucked off by a dude, lost all my friends, dated a prostitute, saw a guy hang himself.
now I'm clean and live in my parents attic, i had such a bright future too.
Drugs, not even once.

>But you know how socialism works in countries like Switzerland and Norway
Except Nordic "socialism" isn't really socialism in the terms that you know it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_model
>The Nordic model (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Sweden).
>a combination of free market capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level.

>a corporatist system involving a tripartite arrangement where representatives of labor and employers negotiate wages and labor market policy mediated by the government

>in the context of the Nordic model, "social democracy" refers to a set of policies for promoting economic security and opportunity
>within the framework of capitalism
>rather than a system to replace capitalism.
This sort of system works as long as you're one people (even a few sandniggers leeches are starting to ruin the whole thing), and communism never - ever - worked in the history of mankind. Communism and "socialism" [insert personal definition here] is NOT the same. Don't be an idiot.

I've got the same type thing, also auditory delusions. Gives you an interesting perspective on life atleast

>make psychedelic thread
>triggers Americans into a Canadian-style shitposting spree

Everytime

youtube.com/watch?v=4ekkXrfmPM8

I get that when I'm really tired. Like exhausted tired. Honestly, it just makes me really anxious. I don't know about interesting perspective, it took me ages to kind of accept it and it still bothers me sometimes. I also still have trouble discussing this shit, or catastrophic mental illness or dementia type things which I am terrified of. I am so completely the wrong person to have bothered with drugs, lel.

tripped over a hundred times in a five year span, then maybe another twenty five times in the next five years. mostly acid with a handful of shrooms / bhrseeds. this was back when you knew you were getting lysergic acid and not some rc. no long term adverse effect aside from being on Sup Forums.

Cocaine and meth are addictive and deadly stimulants that damage axon terminals, with the latter causing neuronal apoptosis. Malnutrition, insomnia, nightmarish withdrawals inducing aggressive behaviour, cardiomyopathy, cardiomegaly, myocardial infarction, and the list goes on and on. It's all complete shit.

Psychedelics are a completely different category of drug.

>before the medical Jews allow us access to the literal red pill

Because if people had access to something that annihilates mental issues such as depression, then the medical jews would lose a lot of patients, thus losing a lot of money. That's why things like shrooms are kept illegal. Quite simple really.

Nigger that's why you respect the drug, and take it in the proper doses. That's like saying "why did I nearly die after taking 5 tabs of xanax in one go?".

I've taken heroic doses of LSD monthly/weekly for years and all I got was HPPD.

What gives?

Agreed

None because you get instantly redpilled at how childish and retarded it is.
