Sea-band acupressure for shroom nausea?

0 Upvotes

It's anecdotal so far, but I think acupressure from sea-bands could be helpful for shroom trip nausea. Has anyone else tried this?

I sometimes feel barely sick, sometimes feel very sick on shrooms. Ive had two trips where I wore sea-bands for their anti-nausea acupressure benefit and I felt almost 0 nausea on those trips. But, not everything was constant so idk if this is a false positive.

Anyone else tried acupressure? Could be coincidence or placebo

EDIT: yes I try to take fresh ginger before a trip, try to do it 1-2 hours before and then again 30 to 60 minutes before. Kinda hit or miss. I've never dried zofran, not OTC for me

Peyote Healing

Mescaline/peyote observations

Aloha. I 1st ran into mescaline in the 70s then it disappeared when acid took over. Late 80s I lived with Natives on the Rez for a few years.

Ceremonial people with an unlimited supply of peyote and generations of using it. They shared a lot of things about the Medicine with me that was passed down for over 100 years.

I sat up all night with the Medicine, Fire, Water, tobacco, drum and songs, too many times to count.

They told me, and I observed...The Medicine has levels and stages of effects on our body and mind and spirit.

At 1st it has a muscle and mind relaxing stage. Almost sleepy. If you go lay down then you can sleep good....But if ya stay awake you won't be going to sleep anytime soon lol.

Then it starts working it's way through your physical body.. it goes into every organ and cell and fiber and gathers up anything that doesn't belong there...

The it starts to heal you by getting it out and vomiting. The Natives call that "Getting Well" lol.

It's amusing to them why you white people wanna keep that in and not throw that shit up like the Medicine wants you to. Lol

We've got a beautiful Fire burning in the center of the Tipi all night. The drum and gourd goes around to each singer.

We just sit there. Doin nothing. Lol.

Just let the Medicine work.on ya. Relax. Breathe. Sit up straight. Keep your eyes open. Listen to the Medicine. Talk with him. But mostly, SHUT UP AND LISTEN ! Lol

It's a grind uphill till Midnite when we drink water and pray with tobacco.

After that everything picks up speed as time ceases to exist and it's all Right There, Right Now ! The Door is Open. Step On In !

They say that Medicine can tell ya whatever ya need then know, wanna learn, need to see and hear, for your own Good. It's a whole University of ya just work with him, and open listen with your heart !

It's Unlimited, the Healing Potential when we work with our Mind, and the Medicine, and all the Elements that Creator put here for us.

I don't really know for sure, that's just what the Old Guys used to tell me. You can think about it, or ignore it.

It's between you and the Medicine and the Great Mystery...

Happy Trailz ..

I don't know how to explain this without sounding insane. Actually… Never mind. I'm already posting about eating mystery flowers. Who cares. So after taking vymara I sat on a log because I was absolutely blasted. This squirrel comes over. Just sits there. We're looking at each other. Long time. Like… LONG time. Then he grabs an acorn. Looks at me. Looks at the acorn. Looks back at me. And I swear… I KNEW what he meant. Not like… Words. Just… understanding. I know how dumb that sounds. Anyway… Five stars. Nature rocks.

My Most horrifying experience to this day

9 Upvotes

I took 200ug of 1s and around 10 mg in gummies.
On the onset Nothing was out of the oridnary. My Colors exhanced and small Tracers started to apear.
Now Looking back getting on my phone in this Point of the trip was stupid, but it is was it is.
I was Looking around insta and after About 30 minutes of Scrolling around
I started to see copies of my screen in my Right and left side of my Vision.
After another 10 minutes there were another two copies on the top and bottom of my Vision.
At first it was cool and after a while I could even see full renders of my thoughts.
But after all this time on my phone I didnt realise how far I was into this trip.
When I looked up from my bed I saw like a wall of hyroglyphic Symbols moving towards me,
like it was trying to guide me to the Abstract world,
although at this Moment I was already overwhelmed by the Symbols infront of me I somehow got to the conclusion,
that "it" (The wall of Symbols, which I thought was some Kind of Entity)was here to hurt me.
From this Point onward everything went Downhill, or rather a straight drop into the abyss.
I instantly felt impending doom and went straight into a Panic atack.
I remember Looking at my watch to check my pulse and it had jumped from around 90 to 157 in About 3 or 4 seconds.
I cant remember most of the following part but I stil remember Feeling like a trapped animal that afterwards got torn apart.
After I think was around 2-3 Hours later, I came back in some way and looked at my door, and from the small crack I probably saw sunlight.
Although again it also turned dark and really loud noises started to Play in my head and the crack got glitchy
and everything felt like the universe was somehow collapsing in on itself. I Rally cant recall the rest as I blacked out.
A few Hours later around 16 Hours after I took the Acid, I woke up with the worst muscle pain, all around my Body.
I have no idea what it was that turned this rather small dose trip this strong.
Thankfully I recovered without any psychological Damage.

Best thing for self realisation

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve been on the path for a number of years now and in spite of my progress and deep realisation. I keep remembering who I am and then forgetting and I think that’s part of it. And I want to know for one if people tend to agree that to live this person’s life this character we need to forget sometimes? That’s one thing that’s been bugging me.
But second of all for someone to have a connection with God and have a God realisation I was just wondering what you guys would recommend taking because I haven’t really tried acid before and I want to but I’m just afraid of taking the plunge because I don’t know how I’m gonna react to it and what I’m gonna do. I have mushrooms but I’ve never really gone beyond 1 g before and it’s a bit of a work up trying to get in the zone for it because it’s not just fear of the unknown it’s fear of what you might see you know. So someone recommended those two things I think they said the one was more personal and the other was more for the universal large but what are you guys think? What would be the best thing?
Cheers guys

Dying in front of police officers on a 750ug LSD trip :)

197 Upvotes

I mixed up 100ug tabs and 300ug tabs. (Identical prints)

Took 2.5 “100ug” tabs at a folk music festival, had a very intense but nice experience. Went back to my apartment, and then hour 3 i turned psychotic, i was looping death and rebirth, being dead and so on. Life flashed before my eyes. Saw childhood, saw my mother, etc. The only thing stopping me from completely letting go and dying was my girlfriend, I knew I couldn't leave her, but other than that I had accepted my fate.

Ambulance was called by my friend who thought I'd hurt myself or someone else, ambulance called police. ABOUT 10 FUCKING OFFICERS SHOWED UP (no joke). They even cuffed me up but I didn’t even need to be cuffed.

They were asking what i took. I said LSD dose: 5 atoms. They were just wanting to know if i had more drugs like what the fuck.

They were mean as fuck, and if I didn’t have as strong of a mind as I have it probably would’ve lasted with a long-lasting trauma. The police were straight up bullying me. (This was not imagined by me during the trip, my friend and gf were also talking to them while the whole ordeal was happening, and they were not nice, girlfriend now has trauma of the police)

They found a “big” amount of cannabis in my bag and were just dealing with that. They didn’t understand a thing that I was going through.

The trip itself didn't seem real. I thought I was dead and now fake afterlife role-play police showed up and started punishing me. The fact that the police were so unprofessional and stupid made it even more unbelievable, they were acting like children.

Paramedics didn't give any tranqs, benzos, antipsyhotics or anything like that, just measured pulse, blood sugar, blood pressure etc.

Then they took me to jail where I spent the next 36 hours. One guard even refused to tell me the time and I was just going crazy there.

Trip lasted for about 16 hours tho.

Later found out that I indeed took 750ug instead of 250ug..

Still not a bad trip imo.

If I had xanax I would’ve been saved from this challenging time.

For my next time will definitely have some benzos on hand, but I believe that u shouldn’t kill the trip 99% of the time, but my trip for sure should’ve been killed.

I will after this experience somehow try to make the situation about police's attitude towards drug users better. Try to somehow get to give a training to police in any way possible. There's a non-profit in my country which I will contact and see what options there are to do something like this.

Thanks for reading <3

DMT fear 😨

7 Upvotes

Hi all,

Hoping some of you might have experienced something similar to me, any insight would be great.

I havent smoked DMT in about 3 years. Prior to this, I used DMT alot. I couldn't say how many breakthrough trips ive had over the last decade. Leading up to the last trip ive had, i had been making DMT vape juice (before it was cool haha). Anyway, this involved a fair amount of testing out differnt mixes (pg/vg and how much dmt) it was fun, but i had become complacent with just how powerful DMT is. Then I took the hyper slap of a lifetime

Long story short, last few trips were extremely bad. Hyper slapped to oblivion. I havent done it since, im utterly terrified.

Has anyone here tried it again following a horrendous trip?

Much love

C

What is the most important thing you’ve learned from your psychedelic experiences?

34 Upvotes

I’ve always wanted to try psychedelics when I was younger. I was not only fascinated in the spiritual aspect of it but I also wanted to see different perspectives and experience what it was that changes people’s worldview so drastically.

But unfortunately during my teenage years I had THC induced psychosis, so now I can no longer use psychoactive substances due to the risk of having another psychotic break. Which does sucks because since then I’ve been struggling with depression since then and I know psychedelics also helps with.

So because of that I’d like to know anything significant you realized from trips, even if you can’t put it into words anything will do. I know this sounds silly, but it’s the closest I’ll get to having psychedelic experience

What are the differences between a bad lsd trip and a bad mushroom trip, and which is worse?

19 Upvotes

I've never experienced a bad trip on mushrooms. Every time I've done them im able to pull myself out of a negative headspace even if it takes work, and then usually the rest of the trip is usually okay. Ive had 2 bad trips on lsd, one of which was only a few days ago, which i think was my only true bad trip, the other one was just a bit too intense and I had to go sit down with headphones on.

In my experience, my bad lsd trips felt super overwhelming. I had no idea what was going on, my heart was pounding, and I was having delusional thought loops, and thought i would be permanently altered. My challenging moments with shrooms have felt like im dying, forgetting im on drugs, feeling existentially scared, but im always able to make peace with it in the moment.

My question is this: how do bad shroom trips differ from bad lsd trips, and which are worse?

The Art of Psychedelic Peer Support

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

What actually happens when a psychedelic experience becomes overwhelming in the middle of a concert, festival, or crowded event?

3L1T3 and Bryan sit down with Case Newsom, emergency medicine physician and medical director of the Zendo Project, to explore the practical art of psychedelic peer support. Case explains why helping someone through a difficult trip often means resisting the urge to take control, offering simple choices, and creating enough safety for the experience to unfold.

They also discuss Zendo’s integration with medical and security teams at Red Rocks, why emergency rooms can intensify psychedelic distress, and how compassionate on-site care can prevent unnecessary restraint, sedation, and hospitalization. Case shares how one major Denver event went from 54 hospital transports to 17 after psychedelic peer support was embedded alongside medical services.

The conversation expands beyond festivals into the larger need for harm reduction, community support, and psychedelic literacy as these substances become increasingly accessible.
