What do plants, toads, and mushrooms have in common? They can all produce psychedelic substances – and now their powers have been combined in one plant, like a trippier Captain Planet.

    I’d give the left nut of every man I’ve ever met for a mushroom I could grow that produces LSD instead of psilocybin

        There’s the whole thing where the first few joints of your fingers and toes turn black and rot off, but sure, eat some ergot.

        Also, Datura is a common weed. Collect a bunch of seeds and share with your friends so y’all can all trip for days and not even know it. The kidney failure can kind of suck.

          Oof, I didn’t know that. I figured it would be a bad idea and was being sarcastic, but I didn’t know about the necrotic tissue and all that.

          Datura, I wouldn’t even joke about fucking with because some people are actually stupid enough to try it…

    And not one mention about how the trip was… No one can tell me they didn’t try!

      Can’t speak to being on all of them but multiple psychedelics at once change the visuals a bit and add confusion, at least in my experience.

      Instead of the usual LSD color shift and rhythmic “breathing” of the room, the visuals were more geometric and I didn’t have the same mental clarity. I got a nonstop stream of thoughts that would interrupt my ability to follow where the thought was going.

      On top of all the other visual noise it was like my peripherals had a colored plastic overlaying what I was seeing, so it would appear more green sometimes and red other times.

      I wouldn’t recommend it. The experience may be completely different from mine because mine was LSD, NBOMe, and a synthetic psilocybin analogue, but sticking with either LSD or psilocybin is way better. Each drug has its own side effects that are manageable by themselves but make it really uncomfortable when they stack. I remember being itchy, thirsty, and kept swapping from being too hot and too cold. I had energy but was couch locked. I wanted to talk to my brother and room mates but when I tried to communicate, new thoughts just kept coming in and I’d forget what I was trying to say halfway through a thought. It was very frustrating.

        2c-p was different from lsd because I felt more “sober” (despite all the visual stuff and running thoughts, I was more aware where I am, I had no “gravity issues”, etc), and also saw the geometric stuff, like hexagonal ripples on water and fractal clouds. So if you mixed with 2c-something, this could be just that.

      ‘Psychonauts’ are people that explore their minds with drugs and they are really focused on exploring these things. Someone made a schematic some years ago, with a list of all kinds of drugs and how they work together.

      Oc, I don’t have a link, sorry…

      I’m imagining an Inception-like scenario where you start at the first/lightest level, and then work your way down to the lowest/hardest, then slowly come back up, similar to peaking and the comedown, but with more stages. I’d imagine dosage would be a real issue here.
