Psychedelic drugs

[Mr. Tea]

why on earth would anyone want a case against machine elves?

Good point. I've not met them myself but I'm not, you know, averse to the idea.

Not one of Syn Barrett's better tunes, that.

once I did a bong of salvia extract in my student flat with two of my mouse mates. the instant I breathed out I was tripping so hard I forgot I'd taken drugs. looking around the entire room was made out of fire and breathing and pulsating. beside me sat two fire demons, laughing silently and communicating with me telepathically. they told me that they were inter-dimensional travellers and the way that inter-dimensional travel worked was that they peeled the skin of each dimension to move to the next. I instantly felt a pressure pulling at my own skin and on the whole room. looking down I saw a zip that started at my hand and connected my body to the sofa on which I sat, and to the walls around me. they were laughing and reaching out for the start of the zip to unzip it and unravel reality. I knew that once this happened I was done for. their mouths were made of flame and as they laughed their eyes danced with pure malevolence. this insane pressure on my skin reached a kind of fever pitch and then mercifully the drug (which I had completely forgotten Id taken) began to slow in its effects and the fog lifted from my brain. gradually I realised I was sat in my front room next to my two housemates, who were laughing at me, trying to extract the bong and the lighter from the iron grip of my hands.

The word 'zip' resonates with me here. Sounds like you probably smoked a stronger product than I've used, but an abiding memory I have of salvia is of the sensation of my spine being unzipped and the two halves of my body drifting off in opposition directions. Which sounds horrific but I remember laughing at the time, so if it wasn't exactly euphoric then at least it wasn't actively dysphoric.

with salvia I always found the leaf itself was pretty boring but any kind of extract - especially at higher concentrations - was DMT-style mind-blowing, except with a more demonic, terrifying edge

Machine elves is a shit description of this phenomena anyway. oh i experienced the unified consciousness. wow what did you see? elves....shite! i saw a load of wacky goblins and magic fairies. cool, might as well watch lord of the rings

 

[Mr. Tea]

I think I tried the 20× stuff once or twice but at one point online shops were selling 60× or maybe even 80× stuff, which must have been a one-way ticket to the loonie bin.

DMT was always another level of trip though - I thought of it as: acid/shrooms, youre tripping (pretty scary); salvia extract, you dont know youre tripping (awful); DMT, youre not actually tripping it's all real (worst of all)

 

[shiels]

Salvia is bonkers, bad news, very likely a bad experience. Don't think i'll ever do it. My mate said he thought he was in a really shit film about his own life for eternity. a really bad script that he was forced to act, and everyone hated the film

I definitely reached the forgot-I-was-tripping stage the first time i did mushrooms. Depends on set, setting and dose, regardless of the actual drug in question.

 

[vimothy]

there's always a general sort of recognisable fucked up fog of weirdness for me on shrooms - and Ive munched huge amounts of them in a single sitting, but I always knew that I was on drugs. whereas salvia was more like smashed in the face, no idea whats going on here

 

[vimothy]

whats the worst drug you've taken?

 

[shiels]

There's nothing to hold on to with DMT in full flight. No relation to the body. pure information and lots of it very very fast. It's always been euphoric for me, if there's a slight anxiety in the experience its what if i can't go back, how long have i been in here? but the content is always beauty beyond words

 

[vimothy]

you didnt experience any terror? I got the euphoria, but it was a bit like jumping out of an aeroplane

 

[shiels]

whats the worst drug you've taken?

the worst experience was ketamine, mephedrone and a bong of strong weed together in my mates back garden at a party. my vision went stop motion, like a slide for three seconds and then the next slide... along with intense paranoia. really scary

 

[vimothy]

whats the worst drug you've taken?

for me, taste-wise, it was GHB. pure chemistry, totally unnatural, like drinking petrol. instant rejection by my body.

what about for mouth-feel?

there's definitely nervousness before and in the first ten seconds, when you feel the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee onset but once i'm in it's really pleasurable

we used to do this combo we called "wheel chair" which was a ket, coke and mdma mix - instant devastation, destroyer of parties
