Ah, all this talk of microdosing. Haven't done it for a little while, mainly because I like to go for a wander in the forest at the same time, and the chilly autumnal weather hasn't been condusive to slowly wandering and wondering outside. Maybe tomorrow, or Thursday when the weather is forecast to be more pleasant.

It's also nice to enjoy the resulting hyperfocus - I always end up completing so many little jobs that I hadn't been inclined to get around to.

Also great to see that one of the US states (was it Oregon?) seems to have voted to open the doors to researching psilocybin for medicinal use. Anyone who has ever microdosed will be able to confirm that this is a hugely beneficial step forward.

Meanwhile, here it's still illegal to allow nature to grow a cannabis plant in your garden  (for now, at least....)

Goddamn!! I was about to post a recreational drug story(s), but then I thought better of it.
I'd have to condense it down to like 20 pages and then I'd be the new wordy man the 3rd...... Naaah frick that....
I'll self publish a book on Amazon instead...

It was as short as I could make it and still do it justice. There are plenty of intricate details untouched. I did stop and consider the potential ramifications, but they're really aren't any, at least not to be had by people whose opinions I value.

Man I have a lot of drug stories from

1972 first use of illegal drug.     15 years old.
    to
1991 last use of illegal drug.     34 years old.


Fuck I think I could write  500 pages of stories.

Add in the gambling from 1961 to 1992.  1000 pages of stories.  Yeah I started young with gambling.

And he's laughing his freakin' pants off right now...

Moreover, somebody must be wrecking those highly leveraged shorts that he advocates, and scooping up the shattered, mangled pieces.  The opposite of a pump-and-dump?

Zzzzzzzzzzz.....

Now, to anyone who has ever read any of my posts ....
.....

no comment... lol

You don’t yet have me on your ignore list?  Sissy!  I double-dare you!  LOL.

—Unfortunately, this incitement is the only means that I have to protect my precious posts from the filthy eyes of ill-bred dolts who do not deserve to see them.  I could also simply stop posting; but that would be a disservice to wiser minds, whom I should not deprive merely to avoid casting pearls before swine.  Wherefore this social filter:

If you are not reading it, then it is not for you.

Too bad.

Everyone being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.

—ahem.  I’ll just wait right here, whilst the unmitigated savages add me to their ignore lists.  For they should not be allowed to read what I am about to write.

PSA:  If you dislike my posts, then please don’t read my writing! Thank you.

Ah, that’s better!  Now that everyone is gone, I can get to my point.

Okay my 4 year old gambling  story.  I was the youngest kid in kindergarten. In September 1961 I was 4 years and 8 months old.

  We went to a school in Brooklyn.  So the game I was taught was  flipping baseball cards. There where multiple versions one was matching colors of hats on the players.  I am colorblind so I was playing a game that I absolutely could not win.  I would lose all my cards every single time. When I asked to play other versions of flipping base ball cards.  Ie a finger flick with multiple rotations  on the way to the ground landing heads or tails. No one would play that and not knowing a freaking thing about compulsive gambling I had to play to get even. It took me a long time to learn to not play that game of matching for colors. . Plenty more stories after that one.

To be fair, i was thinking for quite a long time that R0ach was also kidding and secretly hodling cornbags.

Probably more effective then saying you lost it in a boating accident.

Perhaps, Mindrust didn't sell his stash either.

If we are going to start telling stories about how dumb we were when we were kids, there's no end to that.  Am I not right?



O.k. I will tell one of my multiple dumb things I did when I was a kid stories. I recall that when I was in fourth grade, I sold magazines and fruit to raise money (for some school club or something), and we would be able to use our earned points to buy guns and knives and things like that.  So, I recall that I had bought a folding knife with some of my earned points (it was like the left over points), and when I got the knife and I had it at recess, I was showing one of the kids that "it's not even sharp" by testing it on my left hand.  

Many years later, I still have that scar from that which required 5 stitches.  I have dumber stories than that one, but hey.. it's as good of a dumb story from me as any.

Amidst the chaos of the U.S. 2020 Presidential election, former Congresswoman from Wyoming Cynthia Lummis won the race for a Senate seat, making her the highest-ranking elected official in the nation’s history who is also an outspoken advocate for Bitcoin.

This Republican politician has based her campaign largely on a self-described alignment with Trump’s camp, espousing a firm belief in “an America first style of politics.” However, Lummis does break from Republican orthodoxy as an outspoken supporter of bitcoin, which she has held since 2013.

Hi WO_gang,

I am here again. Enjoy!

As the title described, I don't write more content here. Let's keep it short and look at the visual plot.

US dollar and other fiats are in over-inflated period. The pandemic triggered the money-printing industries globally and gave us free opportunity to see the beauty of fiats and government-based finance.

Even, in worst scenarios when bitcoin falls to the hell, I honestly will be very happy if there are people want to finish deals with me to exchange 10000 Bitcoin for 2 pizzas.

• With pizzas, I eat, defecate and all will vanish in the air.
• With bitcoin, it stays with me.

0,8mg won't kick in more like that.
But it's still enhancing normality. It's a nice, safe use of psychedelics.

One time during my college days I was asked to hold a 1 lb bag of shrooms for a friend, which was indeed an entire garbage bag packed to the brim with dried stems and caps. My reward was 1 oz from said bag, and for a while I indeed became overly irresponsible with my usage. At one point we even tried to make shroom beer using a beer making kit I got for my birthday. It was awful as the shrooms rot in a particularly foul way, contaminating the beer with stink and making the whole concoction undrinkable.

After a month or so of microdosing before going to work at a psychiatric ward every day, I decided to blend up 7 gs with some orange juice in a blender, as I heard OJ helps to deliver the psilocybin past your blood brain barrier faster. I started painting as was my hobby at the time and for some reason became increasingly agitated, choosing a deep, dark red as my color of choice. My roommate started to freak out at my painting, which made me freak out, and soon after I started having a panic attack.

I called a friend who I knew had been prescribed antipsychotics and insisted he drive 20 miles or so to bring me one so I could get out of my state of panic. Dread closed in around me, my heart was beating super fast, and then I convinced myself I was having a heart attack. Then the strangest thing happened: I convinced myself I died, and then everything got better.

It was the second time I had experienced ego death; this time around was massively more unpleasant than the first. Then my friend showed up, delighted that I hadn't done anything (else) incredibly stupid. I asked him if he brought his pills, and he said, "Well that's the whole reason for me coming out here right?" I ended up not taking it as everything turned out to be alright. Still to this day I never tried an antipsychotic, one of the few categories of brain drugs I've just never touched (along with mood stabilizers).

Great story.
I only went through ego death one time on LSD, which gave me some work to do about my personality and life as well, but in the end it turned out to be the very best that could happen to me.
So, people condemning drugs, because of "reasons", just don't know what they are missing.
It's all in the usage, like with guns. Nobody has to use em, but if only used for (ethical) goodness, nobody would be afraid of them either.

lsd:  4 out of 5 stars, would recommend. although not sure how the 2020 vintage lsd trips would be

Honestly, i don't even want to find out  
It taught me the essence of everything i needed to know. mission complete.
But, if 'm going adventurous in my very old days, 80+ or so, i might change my mind on that, if i get the possibility

Not in my case, i got lucky.
But that four week lasting viral infection got my memory degraded by a good amount, and also math performance.
Interesting to see similar findings in Covid research lately.

No problem with that, but the concept of democracy gives them power at hands, as well as making more and bigger idiots to our leaders.
Good morning, El  

EDIT
Gotta go. WOs, have a nice day with good memories and enjoy the feeling of certainty regarding the upcoming pump(s).

A good morning it is.... heading back to Belgium ....

Have a good day!
