Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Shrooms are definitely the ones that take you on a trip instead of you tripping on them if you take enough. I've found that I've been incapable of having a bad time on acid generally, although I've heard of bad trips so I remain cautious taking it.
I had a similar experience. Acid was chill. Felt great, music was wonderful. Snapped me out of my depression enough to make an appointment with my psychiatrist and get back on treatment. Downside was how long it lasts, mostly after you've come down and are unable to sleep for ages.
Shrooms, on the other hand... I remember rolling on the floor, chewing on my desk, and completely forgetting who I was - but I could sort of remember a friend of mine who had amnesia from a bad motor accident, so I reasoned that I must be them. Plus I felt nauseous the whole time. Maybe a lower dosage would have been better but it's not like I was trying to take enough to see god or anything. People react differently to everything, after all.
Wasn't traumatic or anything, but wasn't helpful either. It was an interesting experience to have but I would not want to repeat it.
Have you tried the Lemon Tek for shrooms? In my limited experience it seems to help with the nausea.
Lemon tek, shroom tea with as much fungal material removed as possible, or if you have the stomach for it chewing really well and chewing on fresh ginger afterwards.
All three ways have dramatically helped my imaginary friend with their nausea.
Edit: Same imaginary friend had the following to say about acid - if you're taking a full on, deep diving dose, take the day off and do it in the morning. You'll probably be good to sleep at a decent time v. doing it in the afternoon/evening. Good trips often require some planning - that's why they're called trips!
Lol, what doses did you take with shrooms?! Those must be gigantic! My highest dose was 8g and for like 2 hours I couldn't see the real world, only trippy visuals from my brain which was really fun.
You should definitely dose lower, somewhere around 3g is my preferred dose for an intense visual/introspective/enjoyable trip without going over board.
It wasn't enormous, but it was my first time on shrooms after trying several other psychedelics. I don't remember the exact dosage, I think I had ground it up and put it in some small capsules to make measuring doses easier but I don't think I ever tried the rest since the first wasn't very pleasant. But like I said, people react differently, brain chemistry is complex.
Anyway, I far preferred the feel of LSD. But I haven't taken either in many years at this point, I don't have enough free time for it, lol. My main problem with all of them is the time investment.
Yeah, I totally understand! I do them every few months or something and clear an evening for them, but they don't really affect me that much.
oh trust me, you can have bad trips on acid way easier than shrooms. acid gets pretty intense and is very mental, whereas, mushrooms are generally a good vibe. however, i still recommend both.
i could tell you some bad trip stories, though.
I mean it's definitely up to the person. Every time I've taken acid I've had the realization "oh yeah, it's impossible to be sad on acid" again, maybe that will change, I've heard the stories.
Whereas part of one of my best mushroom trips involved me thinking about an ex and allowing the emotions to overwhelm me and allowing myself to sob and wallow in the memory.
Maybe it's that when an acid trip is "bad" it's generally a bad time and the fun is over for the rest of the trip, where bad feelings on a mushroom trip can be therapeutic and don't necessarily sour the overall experience.
yes. intense emotional trips can very much be a thing on mushrooms, and that can be very therapeutic. bad trips on acid usually involve some kind of logic breakdown, where some kind of delusion enters into your mind and dominates your thoughts. i've had delusions of grandeur and also paranoid delusions. they all made me stronger as a person, but the paranoid delusions were pretty intense and also fucking terrifying.
