You have high standards, nothing wrong with that but its frustrating if you feel your not reaching those standards, and your always going to be harder on yourself than anyone else will be. Shows your conscientious. Feel proud about that but don't beat yourself up no one thanks you for it, just do what you can which is probably more than others.

My working from home since April was a crazy routine change for me. Biggest drawback and potential for awesomeness when travel is easier. Did new things like taking up the guitar daily, bit more daygame, and getting my rotation the highest it's been since I was in NYC 2017, partly from more tinder too.

Way more home cooked meals and cycling, due to daily output of calories being so much less.

Way less alcohol this year then I ever have since starting drinking, only ever used it to make nights out more fun so seems pointless now.

More family and friend phonecalls. Keeping long distance HBB's sweet for when travel is easier again.

Sleeping better than ever, consistently 1-2am sleep waking at 10am. I'm sure that contributed to my sex drive being higher too.

@kowalski, have you found any negative effects of daily mushrooming yet? I've seen it get pretty dark in the long run for one my my friends working in tech using it for 'creativity'

You can’t take it daily for long, it seems to always require a significant dosage increase to get the previous day’s effect. So you soon get to the stage where volume / cost wise it is a lot. Also, after a large dose you are somewhat psychologically spent. You have to be an unusual person to, for example, run a marathon every day, it will be extremely taxing, require a lot of determination, probably be detrimental and you’d likely give up or at least start to take rest days pretty soon into it.

I usually have them kicking around and tend to take them for different motivations 1. for fun around 0.5 and 1.5g, 2. because I want to make a significant change in my life then >3g 3. just because they are there / no known reason / it just popped into my head for this I will take a microdose.

I expect fun when I take a fun dose.

I don’t expect any significant change when I take higher doses. It is often closely correlated in time with me making significant change but I can’t casually relate the two because the whole point is I’ve already decided I need to change something and this is just one of the actions I take between deciding to make a change and fully realising that change. So it could be circumstantial.

The times I microdose just because it came to mind etc. is just a reflection of how I eat. If I feel a craving for a specific food, I assume my body is telling me something important and will eat some of it and if I think of taking a little shrooms I’ll assume the same.


I don’t really know if it is having any effects at all apart from the obvious experienced ones. To say a buddy of yours got all messed up on it is a huge leap beyond the information you have about his situation. You’d have to have a lot of detailed data to determine that. It could be the cause of all my problems, the key to all my successes, anything in between or nothing. Anecdotally I feel inclined to say good things about it and draw correlation between it and give some credit to it for positive and difficult things (dealing with religious stuff from childhood, leaving the UK, dealing with addictive behaviour, leaving Cordoba, etc) but that’s my inclination. I’m a believer in that, so my view is biased.

The only things that I can say with a degree of certainty are casually connected are the direct experiences of being high on them and my actions under the influence... Mixing it with alcohol is a bad idea for me and I’ve done some fairly terrible things with that combination in me. That was definitely a huge negative. Or sometimes I’ve eyeballed a small dose before work and realised it was more than I should have taken but that’s just fun too, you just ride it out. Or taken some on a whim, then forgotten and later remembered when I stop to notice how incredibly beautiful the river is looking this morning. Or I’ve taken them and then life suddenly got real serious but too late because I’m already high af. Things like that.


Peace,

This is interesting K

The newbies won't know that I quit drugs ten years ago. However, I've been intrigued by the likes of DMT.

I'm no expert on it, but to me, micro-dosing sounds like rather than getting smashed off your face, you take a little bit just to give you a little background buzz.

Back when I was on drugs, I abused them heavily. I know now that that's why it came to the point where I had to stop. But it would be different if I was to do something now, as a more educated cunt.

Obviously, I wouldn't be doing any amphetamines, but..

I definitely don't want to die not experiencing more hallucinations.

Might do glue again.

Any of these substances ever helped in getting results with women? I look at amphetamines like ritalin for example, owing to improving one's focus.

For the most part, at least in my experience, results and/or outcomes with women when on drugs were twofold.

On the one hand, I could have sex forever, basically. I was one of the seemingly rare, and lucky lads who never suffered from shrimp dick on Ecstasy. So when I was having sex, it went on a long time. Which was obviously amazing when both participants are on drugs.

On the other hand, I am sadly to remember dozens of times where I missed out on blatant opportunities for sex due to either being blissfully whopped off my chops, or thinking about and chasing more E's. I genuinely missed out on 40+ girls this way. I only realised this years later after I managed to become a functional addict and was reflecting on the many things I'd experienced from the ages 15 to 17, during which I was hopelessly hooked to the point of looking like death warmed up (actual quote from a friend after I'd come round a bit).

I don't know if these kinds of drugs could help you in the ways you're asking. I can certainly draw on many times where me and the girl were both off our heads and thanks to the loved up feeling of ecstasy, one thing led to another.

But I was a drug abuser, even when functional, and I was fucking mental. So I can't answer your queries with any specificity since I took those drugs for alternative reasons.
