H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

When I broke my arm I was given a healthy dose of K intravenously. That was a pretty fun experience, but I felt more like being trapped in a labyrinth of new realities inside my own mind vs acid where I was much more... external? If that makes sense.

Also good shit.

yeah of course- I mean your experiences here are so different neurobiologically.. acid makes regions of your brain that normally dont communicate start sending signals to each other, wheras a serious dose of a dissasociative is going to be seriously dissasocative .. just radically differen't experiences. they used to call acid "instant zen"

for what its worth I understand what you mean. I had a friend who used to say that acid was like becoming a child neurologically again, suddenly able to reassess everything you've seen a million times
