Guys, just don't rate albums based on hallucinogenic experiences... I'm pretty sure if I heard the worst pile of trash imaginable on acid it'd be an instant 5 regardless. I don't do drugs anymore but it had that effect on me, EVERYTHING was awesome. Bought a fairly standard (probably flat) pint of lager in an average pub I'd been to many times before... it was amazing, nicest drink ever. So yeah, I don't trust your ratings, haha.



Anyway, think I should listen to this sometime as I've "obtained" it.

man it's been years since i listened to and rated an album whilst sober. The past year it's been mostly salvia and ayahusca but i assure you my ratings are trustworthy

"The past year it's been mostly salvia and ayahusca "



Ahh Salvia sucks man, its like DMT's freeloading, bipolar, tourettes stricken cousin. Its been a while for me... never was a fan of falling through the pages of the reality factory. Ill stick to my tryptamines and phenethylamines and cannabinoids.

lol I was just being facetious dude If I were taking ayahusca on a regular basis i'd likely be in a straight jacket or behind bars or pushing daisies rn.
my former boss aka the biggest psychonaut hippy in aus once boiled some and imbibed on a saturday morning and couldn't' work Monday and says it was literally like loosing your mind for a day.. but he knew what he was in for so I had no sympathy lol.
Salvia is fucked I did it once and yeah and its just like having your reality imploded for what seems like a perennial amount of time but irl is a matter of minutes. there's really no enjoyment to be had imo and as you say that seems to be the common sentiment with that shit.
I haven't taken any hallucinogens in about a year, if I do any it'll be a few tabs possibly candy flipped but I don't have much desire to atm really

hol up I was confusing ayahusca with datura

I'm confused how people can lead relatively productive lives & do hallucinogens, yes you could in theory take them on an evening (or weekend) when nothing else is planned but don't they last quite a long time, or was I just doing it wrong? Plus, you can't really get much sleep a lot of the time, would really mess with your sleep patterns. I was still coming down a couple of days later, sometimes.



Weed, that's a bit different...

Dude ill often work from 6am to 4pm on a friday and dabble in some 'cid that evening and not go to bed until saturday night/sunday morning. Err, i mean i dont as often anymore but there was a time when that was a pretty average weekend for me. Its not that hard really, and im definitely a productive member of society. Just not on those weekends! Honestly tho, i treat them as a sacrament and not a party substances, even if i do party with them its with respect and reverence which keeps me on level

But doesn't that (sort of) prove my point? You need time on your hands. In the above example Friday night & Saturday are taken so that leaves Sunday, which depending on when exactly you got to sleep might be a much needed recovery period. I guess if you only did it occasionally it might be workable, it just doesn't seem like you'd get much done.



Not gonna lie though, sounds tempting in the alternate universe where I'm single & live by myself, haha.

Well it's all contingent on the individual and the experiences themselves (drug, dosage, setting, company etc. some can handle them no problem, others may be more prone to nightmare trips and still be reeling from them several days/weeks/months later. .. then shit like datura just fucks you up no matter who you are (altho tbf that's a deliriant). I definitely don't advise persisting with them if you're finding yourself in the latter category, or at least just take the threshold dose when you feel mentally confident.
I could handle fortnightly lsd/psilocybin trips for a while but started to get sudden and inexplicable bursts of paranoia and depersonalization(which unfortunately still fkn affects me about 5 years later).

and you never really plan to make it some lifelong routine lol it's just a phase

i did acid maybe 5 or 6 weekends in a row when I was 15, ahaha was a bit silly, because i felt permanently changed tbh

Album Rating: 3.0

I get that man, wasn't necessarily talking about the bad end of the spectrum in terms of trips, experiences etc. or the long, long term effects... it was more just being incapacitated (i.e. not getting anything productive done) for a time & then needing sleep-aided recovery.



For the record I definitely shouldn't have done them in the first place, depression & drugs is a bad combo & it's not like I was sensibly moderating or refusing to mix them with whatever I could get my hands on. Dark times.

Rough man. I wont lie, my first mushi trip had the unexpected side effect of permanently destroying my OCD for which i am very grateful. As far as the depression thing goes, i can honestly say i dont think id still be around if it wasnt for those little fungi either. My depression still boils up fairly frequently, but i have faith in something now. What that thing is, cannot be defined, but ive been left with tools that allow me to be still in the eye of every storm ever since.

yeah I've had bouts of depression since my binge but I can't say for certain whether that was the precipitant or not (I really doubt it). Living with depersonalization - when it's at it's most severe - is misery though. Complete anhedonia, You can't even feel sadness - I couldn't even cry when my grandpa passed away, but thankfully its much more mild now to the point where it doesn't really impede my life or enjoyment of things anymore. It's such a mysterious condition as well, my psych had actually never heard of it which I found a bit surprising.

Wow, that's incredible... strange. Sad to hear that about your depression, you just have to believe things will get better & if it's inconsistent depression then there's some evidence to suggest that times can be good.



I came back from the darkest depths & now I'm really happy, it CAN happen & will to many others. I wouldn't want to do anything to upset the balance now. Pleased I can still drink though, was a borderline alcoholic in college but fortunately don't "need" to drink anymore & can still enjoy myself without worry.
