No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Acid effects seem to heavily depend on the manufacturing process.

I was just talking to a former deadhead who went to about a hundred shows altogether and has done acid hundreds of times. He talked about all the different types of acid he had done and how different they were, and a lot of people I know have had fundamentally different acid experiences depending on the tab. For me and the people I know, though, acid more breaks reality than imparts general euphoria.

Mushrooms, cyanescens specifically, will give you that euphoria and togetherness and commune with nature. Setting is key. Calm surroundings, with someone you trust.

Setting is absolutely key. And not just being around people who you can trust, but people who can help you with your trip. As in keep you happy, safe, and fed. It makes all the difference.

I never understood how people take mushrooms as a party drug. I'm not talking about microdosing either. I feel like I need the exact opposite, social isolation (other than close ones) in a controlled environment- ideally nature. A rave on mushrooms sounds like the perfect environment for psychosis.

Whenever I take psylo, I cry for hours nonstop. It's not sad devastating crying either, I just physically can't stop my body from creating tears. I think it's because it neutralizes my depression and my ADHD for some time. It's like ripping a bandaid off my emotions. Anything resembling a face becomes terrifying. My dog's stupid smile turned into the Cheshire Cat once.

ime alot of it is just mood/how comfortable you are in a given setting, at it's core it's just amplifying emotions/thoughts.

Thats fascinating, though IMHO the biggest differences between batches assuming they contain actual LSD-25 is dosage more than anything.

(There's an argument to be had about the iso-LSD content which is inactive, which occurs from the LSD being exposed to UV.

Now a lot of what was called acid isn't LSD, which maybe where the waters get muddied, (IIRC the famous bad brown acid was actually DOI at triple the recommended dose, which makes a lot of sense why people freaked out)

Mushrooms are very interesting to me, I have very nice trips with them, but little to no afterglow, whereas the electricity of the acid stays with me for a few days to a week or two later.

Though I will note that LSD is also the only one I've ever had a bad trip with.
