The hoody part adds validity to this story IMO

I took the SATs my second time the night after taking LSD and was still seeing decent trails. I did better than when I took it the first time and got very close to a perfect verbal score iirc.

A skilled geologist recognizes the rocks they can safely lick. Licking every rock is just stupid. Imagine licking asbest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

I always lick asbest. I'm the best licker there is

I believe licking asbestos is fairly unproblematic. You just really shouldn’t breathe in asbestos dust.

Asbestos definitely causes inflammation when tissues are exposed to it, I wouldn't recommend that anyone lick asbestos. One exposure wouldn't do much. That said I'm pretty sure the act of picking asbestos up and bringing it to your face and breathing it in would be the most dangerous part of that.

YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME WHAT ROCKS I CAN'T LICK! YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!

Doc Ellis threw a no hitter on LSD in 1970.

ITT: people who have clearly never done acid pretending they’ve done acid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I've never done it, does it always make you want to lick rocks?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

I mean…it certainly hasn’t for me haha. But maybe I just haven’t taken enough 🤷‍♂️

The untold story: 1.) the grade was curved due to everyone's low numbers

2.) no one wanted to get near the rocks to identify them because there was one weird mofo walking on all fours around the displays, randomly snarling and licking each one

Homeslice identified a few more than everybody else and his grade shot to the moon.

  1. the teacher didn't want that mofo again in their class

3.) included were 2 previously unidentified specimens, which he also identified, somehow

As someone who does LSD whenever she can (Which is... sadly not as often as you'd think)

This doesn't surprise me

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really want to experiment with psychedelics but I have no idea where to even start on obtaining them lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You're on the internet. Halfway there.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (5 children)

*safely obtain them. I don't know how to tell apart legit sites and honeypots, and as a trans girl in Texas I am really really really worried about potentially being arrested. So I don't risk it, and I probably won't until I meet someone I can trust irl who can help me get access tbh.

Get a lysergemide analogue from a reputable chem site. Chems.ca comes to mind as the most trustworthy in the USA.

Technically not illegal as long as you say you weren't going to use it for human consumption. Research only.

Its more expensive than street L but depending on your sources most likely way, way cleaner. Its from a legitimate lab so you know its synthesized correctly.

Don't use darkweb sites of any kind in Texas if you're worried about getting in trouble. Just get the research chems they are cleaner than 100% of anything on a dark web market anyway. And also, technically legal.

a trans girl in Texas I am really really really worried about potentially being arrested

Okay, yeah, I can't definitely understand that.

I'm unsure as to how much of this I can talk about here, but what online stores have going for them is often safety and reliability. Unless the markets are "cashing out", they're usually safe.

("Cashing out" as in they have a functional market people use, then when it's been going for a while, they're decide to end it, they just stop relaying orders but keep the money that's in escrow, usually still get action for some days/weeks, leading to huge profits.)

That being said, you'd need a safe mailbox to order to, so as not to order drugs to your own home.

But yeah, IRL can be better, especially because you can then have someone who instructs you or acts as a tripsitter if you feel like you like to have one.

IRL can also be worse, because you don't really know what you're getting for a certainty. Unlike with online traders, because you can choose someone who has hundreds of positive comments and a good rating.

People honest don't know how easy getting drugs is in most parts of the world, which is what makes it hard for them, which in turn makes it easy for everyone who does know, because you can quite comfortably do your business in front of people who are totally oblivious to it.

But yeah. Don't get arrested in Texas for drugs as a trans-girl, I strongly agree with that. Hope Harris wins and the US could perhaps improve a bit. Stay safe, sister. <3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah the delivery part has always been what's worried me the most. I don't know anything about getting a secure mailbox because as I understand it, any delivery point that belongs to you can be traced back to your name. And the only options I have are my house and the UPS/USPS office for delivery.

Also yeah I'll be voting for this election, hoping for a Harris win too and also for Allred to finally kick Cruz out of Texas!

It's a different world these days. Two decades ago I'd do rails of molly out of an Altoids can which was being passed around a festival campsite. Now anything can have fent in it. Shit sucks and I kind of feel bad that kids these days have to deal with this.
