"Fuck the drug war. Dropping acid was a profound turning point for me, a seminal experience. I make no apologies for it. More people should do acid. It should be sold over the counter."

I took acid once. I giggled a lot and led my friends on an “adventure” into my backyard where we played hacky sack until it got dark enough to watch the stars. It was awful! You don’t want no part of this shit, Dewey!
I think I kinda want it
Psychedelics are awesome. If you don't have much experience with them, keep it to a moderate dose. I eat mushrooms quite a bit and a single dose at +5g would rock my world still.
In a healthy environment with a healthy mindset, you can discover a ton about yourself and how your mind works. Or, you can just have fun and socialize.
I use mushrooms medicinally and recreationally. If I want to chill and meditate I can. If I want to be social and have fun, I can. Regardless of my mood, they have been an awesome tool for managing my anxiety, social anxiety and depression. Best of all, it has been a key component in my recovery from alcoholism.
They are not for everyone, unfortunately. If you are not prepared for an accidental high dosage, it can be challenging. (There is so much variability in mushrooms, it can happen. Not so much with with substances like LSD.)
Yea I've taken lsd, mushrooms and dmt many, many times.
I used to love acid when I was younger. I bought 30 hits of blotter just for my 18th birthday for me and my friends. Never hallucinated like some people claim but had tons of energy and it made everything feel so... real? and vibrant. Shrooms were cool but just not nearly on the same level.
You definitely want to plan ahead and make sure you're surrounded by good company and plenty to do beforehand though.
Of all the drugs I've done, which isn't too many, acid is my favorite. Haven't done it since I was in college over 20 years ago. If I knew how to get my hands on some, I'd consider doing it again occasionally. Best body high I've ever had.
I loved acid but I would never do it again at my age (50s). Even back in my youth I thought the experience lasted way too long - I was always ready to come back down and sleep and contemplate my experiences long before the drug started to wear off.
Apparently the dark/deep web is remarkably reliable. At least it used to be, not sure if that's still the case. I kinda want to get some Bitcoin or whatever they're using to get a drone delivery of acid, but that would be way too much acid.
No bitcoin, XMR now. Research tails and dread, you'll find your way from there. Stay in country, and never netherlands.
What's wrong with the Netherlands?
Customs really checks shipments from the netherlands, but you should really stay "in country" as in if you're from the US order from a US vendor. If you're going to chance customs though, never chance it with the netherlands.
Research "tails" and "dread." You'll find your way from there, avoid customs and especially the netherlands.
Tbf, this is hardly unique to the US, and a handful of states are actually decriminalizing some psychedelics now. Not sure where else in the world is doing that.
The US is largely responsible for the 3 international treaties that semi standardized the prohibitions that have defined and driven drug policies across most of the western world since the 60s, though.
