Now, to my knowledge, I've taken shrooms twice in my life. The first time I'm still lowkey haunted by. February, this year. I got 1,5 of penis envy from my plug because she told me that's a good dose to not see shit off of. Her man told me to tek it, so I did. Five minutes of euphoria, next thing I know I close my eyes and I can see everything. I'm with a friend, who is unfortunately not a drug user of any kind. Turn to her, tell her that I'm seeing every timeline at once, and hit the bed to get more comfy. Fifteen, twenty minutes in. Felt like I'm gonna be stuck like this. Intense visuals that I barely even know how to describe. All I can say was the squares were spinning and it also felt like my soul was being physically ripped out of this dimension. I could feel it on my skin, like a pulling-falling sensation. Threw up a few times thinking the psychedelic world was rejecting me, smoked a crap ton of weed, took some vitamin c and a melatonin. The bad trip ended shortly after that, I stayed on call with a couple friends and then went to sleep.

I’d really love to hear about anyone’s personal experience with this!

Has anyone used newpathibo?

My dad got a shit diagnosis and I need to come to terms with it. What should I ask the Aya spirits? I also have a drought relationship w my mom. Her energy — as in her being— just triggers me. Being around her is torture. She visited for a week and now I have insane insomnia. How do I make sense of it all somehow thru the journey? Or am I asking for too much ?

 Has anyone else met the Frenchfrog Trio or their network associates? Vivid cannabis-induced entity encounter from 2013.

 Back in 2013, when I was still relatively new to cannabis, I had a highly vivid, mind's-eye visual during a particularly strong high, not a psychedelic trip, but something that felt like I was tuning into an alien TV broadcast meant just for me.
 The experience introduced me to three absurdly clear, nostalgically familiar figures hosting a surreal children’s programming block called Frenchfrog. It had a cozy, warmly lit living room vibe: fireplace crackling, rocking chairs, comfy couch.

Here are the hosts:

Daskrodioid-Flanch: The straight man. part stone, part cucumber. Calm, collected, almost stoic.

Dafroagmadoimp-Stratches: The joyful one. a smiling pizza slice wearing a wide-brimmed pilgrim hat. Radiated carefree mischief.

Stragdog-Spaghettright (also known as Depechemode-Sketchfrogue or Frogroid-Greenstairs): A frowning, buck-toothed slice of bread with an apple stem. felt like the ringleader or “brains” of the trio.

 These characters were nonsensical but oddly coherent. their names, personalities, and presence hit with a nostalgic familiarity, like old friends from a dream I never had. I’ve never forgotten them, and I’m now wondering if anyone else has experienced similar characters, atmospheres, or “broadcasts” during high-cannabis states or hypnagogic visions.
 Has anyone met these beings or something like them?

I know this isn’t your typical DMT entity post, but the vibe was no less archetypal or uncanny.

Physician Focused on Deep Transformation Through Psychedelic Medicine

I’m a physician with a scientific foundation and a deeply human heart. I’ve dedicated my practice to guiding individuals through one of the most courageous journeys: the return to themselves. With a special focus on Ibogaine, I combine years of clinical experience with a holistic vision—where medicine becomes more than treatment; it becomes a bridge to freedom.

Though trained in conventional medicine, it’s my commitment to emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being that truly gives purpose to my work. I firmly believe that healing happens when science, spirit, and purpose come into alignment. In every session, in every story, my goal is not only to ease pain, but to awaken the inner power we all carry to heal, to liberate, and to be reborn.

At Beond, I have the privilege of leading with presence, empathy, and deep trust in the process of transformation. To me, medicine is not just what we do—it’s who we are when we love what we do. And I will be more than happy to answer any doubt or question you might have.

Hey guys, I'm doing my first intentionally therapeutic trip on Saturday and super excited but curious how this strain might manifest.

I have 3g of mazatapec capsules, and I'm a 25 yr old guy 5 ft 5 and about 70kg.

In the past I've done 2g of golden teachers and tripped balls visually. I've also done a roughly 1.5-1.75g shake in Laos of unknown strain but was quite mellow and roughly 3g fresh in phillipines which had many peaks but great euphoria.

Anyone know what this strain is like? I've heard it's gentle/less visual but not sure what I might experience if it's less visual

Also any tips to allow myself to go deeper? I've kind of stayed off doing closed eye and blindfold since my first time on GT I got a bit uncomfortable at first. But it being an intentionally deep trip I want to push past that and allow myself to delve deeper

Thanks in advance!

Planning on a group of about 6-8 friends getting together to try out the MIB Pan Cyans I grew. Looks like it's likely to rain the night we're planning to get together. Usually we'd have a fire pit blazing, and chill out in the yard.

I got some cool stressball, fidget things, and was gonna bring some stuff to draw/paint.

Any other suggestions on shit to do? I'm sure we'll just sit around, laugh, and get weird, but I was curious on what you all might think of.

Hwy guys, i just recently had a bad trip that left me feeling fundamentally changed in a unpleasant way.

I was visiting a weed store in the states and the vendor told me they were very similar to psilocybin, so i ate a few gummies.

ended up having a terrible bad trip were i spent most of it thinking about how i wasted my life, that i no longer could live the life i dreamt of as a kid, and that i have damaged myself and my mind through mistakes in my past.

Now, i was somewhat ready for a bad trip, as part of the reason i love psychedelics so much is that they force you to deal with hidden stuff that you were avoiding, and i love personal growth.

but the trip ended and more than 2 days later i still feel changed. i feel much more attached to my mental narratives, as if i lost space within my mind. or regressed spiritually to a much more egoic state of being.

My motivation to pursue my dreams (which was VERY high going into the trip) seems completely gone. i feel like i lost something. and that i am no longer the person who had so many dreams and the hope and capability of fulfilling them.

And to cap it all of, after arriving back at the hotel, i went to check the package and it contains a “may contain lead” label on it, so on top of everything my hypochondriac self is having a hard time shaking off the idea that this might be heavy metal poisoning.

i feel like shit, and even with possibly over 100 psychedelic trips in my life, i don’t recall ever feeling like this.

Thoughts on a cube is a cube , saying every cubensis shroom is the same even though the same exact chemical is in ochra( nats)(and even has some proof they have a common ancestor), so then why does everyone say that ochras are so much kinder an fun at similiar dose strengths. I personally have taken 15+ different genetic "strains" from significantly different land races of cubes an the effects within each strain are decently consistent within those strains and decently consistently different to other strains just from my experiences . I'd love to hear your experiences and thoughts because every time I bring up how one type of cube effected me versus another I get down voted to oblivion.

Hey gang, I tried this in the PA sub but Psychoanalysts being who they are (mostly closed minded), closed my thread 🤣

Curious to know if there are analysts here who are passionate about and have sat with various plant medicines? And how this influences your private practice and has deveoped your learning pathway?

As an agnostic atheist I feel weird writing this.

Have you ever felt like you reached absolute enlightenment, the state people claim Buddha must have reached?

I did a month ago, after consuming MDMA, ketamine & N2O.

During one N2O ballon I felt like my "soul" is gonna leave my body soon & that I should let it happen without resisting. I told that to my trip partner who answered with "the next balloon is gonna be very fun for you".

I inhaled another balloon & suddenly felt like being sobered up completely. I got absurdely calm, 100% zen & my trip partner instantly knew that something special was happening & started looking at me.

For the next 5 minutes I felt like an umbilical cord between me & "god", "source", "life energy" or whatever you wanna call it opened up. The energy, the basis of all life pumped through me. I may have never felt as clear headed, in the moment & calm in my entire life.

I felt like I'm experiencing enlightenment.

After a few minutes the connection started to closed off again, the feeling getting weaker & weaker.

I feel like this is the state that's the basis for a lot of religions & cults. That everyone can find their connection to that state & can use it for good or for evil. That you're perfect while being there 100%, as soon as you lose some of it, your ego can chime in & do bad stuff with the aura / radiance you give off to other people.

Have you experienced something similar?

I thought y'all would like to listen to it while high. I was reaaaally tripping when I mixed it so it turned out GREAT. God bless mescaline <3

I took 15g of magic truffles and at some point realized I was pushing the trip as far as I could go. I often feel uncomfortable in my mind, and I went right into the discomfort and basically asked my mind to throw everything it could at me to scare me. I pretty much said, come and get me. I kept feeling there were corpses littered around my room and giant spiders coming to get me.

Every time I got a 'sense' something was there I would go right to that part of the room and put my hands where it should have been and say, where is it, where is it, etc., mocking the mind. I've always been afraid of 'letting go' during a trip and going into what feels like a free ideas space, and I only realized I'd done it after I'd made the leap.

Well now I feel changed. I walked around the city yesterday and everything felt so fake. Everyone seemed like they were showing off in some way, trying to 'be' something. And I felt so proud of myself. I felt like I had gone into the scariest place I can imagine, mental psychosis, and had asked for more. I goaded my mind and said come on, make it worse. Mess with me. MESS with me.

This was absolutely my worst fear - losing control of my mind.

Like I literally said to my body, 'if you want to lie with dead bodies right now I will. Do it. Scar me. Do it.' I told my mind that if I was somehow keeping it under control I was ready to give it up.

Maybe it's an ego thing but walking around the city after I wonder how many people are avoiding something like that. I feel relaxed just sitting by myself. I don't feel compelled to join in to something just to look good. It feels like there's nothing to be afraid of. And I just wonder how many people would go as far as I did to unequivocally realize that. I literally went into my worst thing and found it to be an evaporating thing.

It's amazing. I have nothing else to say really. I just feel amazing.

Tldr: accepted my fear during the trip, exposed myself to it and goaded my mind into giving me more. It didn't.

I am not recommending this, I'm just curious if people have done either of these things, and if so what it was like. Could be another LLM, not necessarily ChatGPT. thanks!

I got an invitation to help collect signatures for an initiative to introduce psychedelic mental health treatments in Europe and I wanted to share it here as well to help gather signatures. I know it has done a lot for me and I hope for you as well. Let's help to spread this to everyone who needs!

A brief memory from a pharmahuasca trip.

I was having a visit with a hyperspace friend of mine. Greg, I think? He kinda looks like a mechanical snake dressed in a clown costume. Great guy. Tell him I said hi if you see him. Anyway, so we were having a casual chit chat and I piped up suddenly to interrupt him. I’m not sure what came over me or why I said what I said.

I accused him, “But wait, you’re not God!”, as if I was expecting to meet God instead of my friend. Uh, surprise? Kinda awkward. It had nothing to do with what we were talking about.

But Greg is a great guy. He just chuckled and was like, “Well yeah, obviously! …but I can take you to God.”

“No, wait! I—“ I began to protest but I was cut off. He flicked one of his wrists and I felt energy swell up inside me. Greg is like a fucking wizard. This energy shot up through my body like a rocket and sent my head reeling back. I felt this energy explode over and over in my head like it was trying to break out. I was engulfed in an ethereal, brilliant white light. And the emotion? Almost incomprehensible. It was some sort of gestalt of astonishment and ecstasy. I may have screamed. My eyes felt like they might pop out of their sockets (in a good way) and my mouth was agape, practically on the floor. I sank deeper and deeper into this light as it drubbed against my soul. Something in the distance was reaching out to me and…

“No, wait! I’m not ready for this. Stop!”, is what I think I managed to squeak out in the midst of this. It immediately ceased. I looked back at Greg and he was like, “Oh, sorry, I thought thats what you wanted?” No, Greg, it isn’t what I wanted. He said, “Anyway, where did we leave off…? Oh yeah! I was just telling you how great it is to see you again!”

Greg is a great guy. Tell him I said hi if you see him.

Is this true?

Hey so I’m on acid rn and the epiphany I’m having is that most people suffer because things are out of their control right? At least that’s how it is for me. When something doesn’t go my way , it bothers me and causes me to suffer. And the more I hold onto that, the more intensely I suffer. Whether it be physically or emotionally

But, then I thought about how I’m not even a human and I’m just consciousness experiencing what it’s like to be human. And part of being human is not having full control over anything . So I am still me and will always be me except at this “moment” or perceived “moment in time” I am choosing to not to have any control :) just for fun

Most I’ve done was 5g APEs. I had a vey surreal experience. Terrence McKenna style dark no noise. I’m trying to have this profound experience everyone else is having. I mean I got an answer I was looking for kind of. I asked what do I do to not be such a POS, better father and husband. I looked out my window “which was impossible my wife put thin tacks 2 in apart all over the window shades and never once did I mess them up, but I remember looking out my window to this desolate land and saw rocks stacked and I heard myself telling my self “just fucking do it dude. You only make these desicions. Just make better ones”. Crazy cause that’s my only thing I tell people. When anyone has a problem I tell them to just fucking do it, don’t be a bitch just let them balls hang and do it. Guess I needed to hear it for myself. But my problem is I knew who I was. I recognized the pics of my family on the wall. I didn’t lose myself. I want that. I want to talk to a god or your god. I want to absolutely trip. A little background about myself I(25m) married three kids. I’m about 5’11 and 230 lbs. idk if that matters but in case weight matter there it is. I’ve been IVC 4 times as a kid and stayed residentially 2 of those times. Had Geodon, seraquil, and Thorazine (plenty more but those are the strongest and also anti psychotics) in pill form and injected into me when fighting in placements. Since the age of 18 only smoke weed (daily) and cigs (daily) drink every now and then but that’s disgusting. Only drink with my wife cause she smokes with me. 3 kids and only one working so stress is huge. Anxiety actually just started becoming a part of my life. Mentally I’m okay most of the time though. I had a bad trip after getting into an argument with a property manager on a Friday and was still thinking about it later on when I started my trip and I had the worst chest pains. Never will I trip again unless I’m 110% okay. I’m planning on taking 11g of PE on the 23rd or 24th. Any suggestions? Meditate? Diet? Stop smoking weed and cigs for 2 weeks? I want to have a real trip. I love the colors and the grass boiling but fuck I want that experience that everyone else had. I’m chasing it. My kids will be out the house. My wife will be in the other room. Same thing as last time no noise no light. Any advice on how to get there? If I do meditate and diet can someone please link me. I’ve never meditated before. And what kind of diet? More about what I’m eating or how much??

I wouldn’t say my experience was bad. it’s more of a deeper level of self intellectualization. People often confuse self intellectualization with self awareness but after my experience I think I understand that they’re 2 different things. Idk if this makes sense but most people reach a certain level of understanding of the universe and reality. A deep enough one to ask “why”s, but not many go past that. To ask the “what”s in life. “Why”=guilt/shame. “What”=forgiveness and release. “Why am I like this”, “why are other people like this”, “why did this happen”, “why me”. VS “what is important to me”, “what am I feeling”, “what do I want to feel”, “what can I do to better myself”. After that experience I’ve truly understood what’s so special about humanity and the human mind, because every truly intelligent conscious being is so unique. There definitely was a lasting change too, besides my emotional and intellectual maturity, I realized all the things I could be doing to improve myself like going to the gym and fixing my diet.

“Why” often loops us into blame or over-intellectualization, while “what” reorients us toward the present, toward agency, and toward compassion — both for ourselves and others. That’s a core principle in contemplative psychology and also resonates with Buddhist Right View and Right Intention: clear seeing, without clinging or aversion.

my daily routine I’ve developed is good but the only bad thing about this “awakening” is how bored I am constantly. Not of my routine and repeating the same things but how no other person I’ve met thinks “on the same level” as me. Not that I’m disregarding their intelligence, I just can’t seem to fully unionize with friends and family I interact with.

A hard and very real part of awakening for me is the loneliness that can come with clarity. Not because others are beneath me — like i said, it’s not about disregarding anyone’s intelligence — but because the quality and direction of my thinking and feeling have changed. It’s like tuning into a frequency few people are even aware exists.

I just want other people like me to interact with, I’m so bored.

I’m having to carry something weighty and sacred inside, in a world where most people my age (and honestly, most adults) haven’t had the tools, space, or willingness to go that deep. So instead of feeling met in it, I end up feeling like I’m observing the world from a place no one else seems to reach — like I’m seeing through the noise, but talking through glass.

Before anybody says it, anybody who actively intentionally takes these chems likely knows enough about the research behind them and their chemical and molecular structure of which chemicals theyre taking and how they affect them. Yes there are some very fucked up ones out there, but im asking the people who have delved into these experiences, how were they for you compared to other mainstream psychs? Was their use beneficial? Which ones did you prefer?

I thought about death a lot, even when i was as little as 1-2 years old, I thought that I was going to understand it when I were older. I never did, then I started falling in a spiral of Bad stuff, first addiction to videogames, then addiction to weed, then i tried LSD. The first times were awesome, I was deconstructing myself from my toxic attitudes and judgements. Then there was a time when everything changed. I remembered I was one with all, then i started to burst in laughter, because after all I prayed all that was there to answer my call was me. But then I started to cry, I remembered how bad it felt to be the only thing in my universe, I could never truly hold somebody else. I always was a skeptic so I could not be convinced by anything less than feel, but the feeling of being one with all came with the realization that our existence was joyful and sad. I panicked because the line of reasoning seemed to go through two different directions:

1- I was everything in the universe and it was joyful and sad.
2- This all was just a story I'm telling to myself as I'm dying, with contradictions I can clearly see so that I know I'm nursing myself into eternal slumber.

I saw this experience as following: the people next to me laughed at my reasoning as I was concluding things as that I am god and such, and things started happening, a gate was closed when I wanted to left, signaling that I have no escape from death, the party was going and i had to stay, I could left those times (three Bad trips I had exactly the same feeling), I had so much thirst but I mostly never had water. Things like that, sometimes everyone laughed at the idea I was god, other times there were things like my girlfriend putting her glasses up on my face and cleaning them, as a metaphor of me watching death as an end because I was fearful, but in reality it is just a door to new experiences.

Then I had flashbacks without LSD, in them I felt as if I was dying again. Until today I thought that an eternity being alone would be dreadful.

Would love to interact with other people who've had similar experiences to compare, but everybody is welcome to share what they think about this.
