Its been a while since the Ramblings have been documented but a post we read this morning got these little cells bumping against each other. We have been watching too many documentaries and factual programs recently, that we opted to watch something a bit “easy and mind numbing” – enter Netflix’s “Beckham” Eps1. Now without revealing the Psychonaut’s true ages (we tick the box between 33-45 ;-), the moment the episode started we instantly had massive waves of nostalgia wash over us. From the images of Black cabs, streets of London town (before congestion charge), to the old football kits that were too big for the players and the mighty Concord! (RIP). Something came over us and we couldn’t stop smiling! Yes, it could have been some of the outfits the Beckham’s wore or the fact that the nation going crazy over pretty much anything that was in the papers. But we felt that feeling of our childhood, and just those simple little things that (at the time we didn’t know) brought us so much happiness and a sense our of true love for life. These days, we feel that there is such a heavy energy across the world, too many wars to even keep up with, an overload of information that keeps us in a state of not really knowing anything and pretty much access to any good/service/product from anywhere in the globe delivered to your door.

But, remember a time when you had to save for those trainers, waiting for your birthday or Christmas for that special gift, or even having to go to that restaurant to have a meal, or going to the shops to check they had stock of something – then feeling devastated when they were sold out!

What about the days you said you would meet your mate at 11:00 outside the shop, then you wait outside the shop, 11:30 - no sign of your mate and you were left wondering if you got the time or place wrong?!. Then wanting to go to phone box but then “If I move from the shop, they might turn up or if I call them they might already have left?! - oh the stress of being 12!

After watching the 1st episode (thinking of episode 2 tonight:-) we sat and reeled off all those “things” we remember the things we used to do or had to do and actually, and missed it in a weird way...an affectionate way (I know we probably won’t want to go back to a world without Deliveroo ;-)

When our parents used to say “they don’t make them like that any more” or “the good old days” – we are older and wiser and thinking - “Damn! They may have had a point….”

So, join us, with a MicroDose / Cosmic trip down memory lane and let us know what brings a smile to your faces :-) Here are a few from our midnight chat last night:

• Football results being read out match by match
• Speaking Clock
• 10p Monster Munch
• 70p return tube ride
• Kappa, Ellesse and Fruit of the Loom jumpers
• EuroSports on Sunday morning
• “Face-Off” car stereo’s
• Trying to squeeze into child size trainers cause the were cheaper
• Ford Fiesta XR2i being SOOO COOOL
• Forgetting your PE kit and having to borrow from the stinky left over PE kit box

Smile with us, take a moment to enjoy the reminiscing of those little things that thinking back, really do make us appreciate what we have today.

Peace and Love to you all biggaz – and don’t forget to check out our Cosmic Cakes – which we feel helped us on this recent journey down memory lane.

Sunday 3pm: took 0.80g APEs. Just under a gram. Ground up and thrown in a glass of tymbark cactus juice which is always a good choice.

3:20pm: starting to feel it slightly. I was rally surprised how quick that was. Usually it’s around 45 mins until it kicks in.

3:30pm: Jesus fucking Christ I’m starting to feel it. It’s definitely a mix of the strength of the mushrooms, and general low tolerance, which I used to hate as a younger person, as an example, not being able to keep up with friends when It came to alcohol, I gave up drinking because I actually hated it, getting stoned as fuck after half a spliff and always pulling a whitey after one bong, weed really isn’t for me.

3:45: complete sedation. The room is “melting” as it’s usually put. My plants and dried flowers I have around my place are melting downwards where the leaves/flowers droop down, the doors are pulling downwards and my arms are starting to feel like they’re detaching from my body, I go grab my headphones and corn snacks and get fully ready for it. I open up the corn snacks, and every time I crunch on one I can visualise my whole skull and jaw and teeth moving as I’m eating. all the skin on my head feels detached and it’s as if it’s hovering a centimetre away from my skull and face. Time to put my headphones on. So I grab my MP3 player (old skool kool) and press play randomly. Never find a girl by Steve hiett start playing. I couldn’t stop laughing and being in awe at how amazingly clear and atmospheric it sounded. It took over my whole body. I grab my quilt and get back on the sofa which felt like such a huge effort due to feeling so sedated and drunk. My legs are slightly giving way.

4:00pm: starting to get the visual overlay of patterns. The only way to describe it is when you cut a garlic bulb in half but across and you see the pattern of all the bulbs inside the clove. Just that type of pattern all across my vision. I close my eyes and I see what feels like flickering lights and the smooshy geometric patterns swirling around like a warm lava lamp. with the last of my energy I changed the music and put on music for psychedelic therapy by Jon Hopkins. I curl up under the quilt and close my eyes. My whole body starts detatching itself from my joints. Arms feel separated from my shoulders, Hands separated from my wrists, feet separated from my ankles, legs separated from my hips. peaking hard after an hour.

My vision is all the patterns and shapes and landscapes that are quite hard to describe but the only way I can describe it is that it felt like I was having a full on DMT breakthrough. The music is sending me hard. The visuals are smashing my brain. I’m floating off the sofa. Nothing else exists except my visuals. My thoughts became almost like an orb like sphere and moved into the corner of the visual landscape. I could still think, but they would be encased inside this sphere. this is where it starts to get profound..

Through the melting colourful patterns and visual landscapes and white noise, a face started slowly pushing through. I have no idea who it is for a while but the face turns into a whole head and is moving around my visuals and looking around. As I start to gain clarity on the persons head, it turns out it’s my mother, and we start having a conversation about all types of things. As some historical context, I did find out when before I was born, she used to do a lot of mushrooms. My aunty told me that she always made a tea from them. Due to certain circumstances that I’d rather not go into full detail with, she ran away when I was 4 years old and I never saw her again. So back to the trip.. This is what stood out the most and I’m still thinking about it. Through the conversation she says “before you were born I was thinking about you. You were in my hallucinations for a long time until you became real”. This was the emotional part and just let the rest of the visuals and the crazy stuff just take over and so many thoughts as a child started coming through. Remembering the sad part of her vanishing and even before that. all the scenes that I forgot had started showing through from what my brain had filed away. As the album got towards the end, the crying started. a lot of things started to make so much sense now.

5:00pm: the album is finishing and I stay under the quilt for a while longer to digest everything. It was the most spiritual and profound trip I’ve had to date. So much so that I had to write about it. I’m still really surprised how hard it hit me in such a short time. i get up from under the quilt and the sedated feeling has completely gone. Still having wavy visuals and the feeling of seretonin flushing through my body. It’s a buzzing sensation. My body feels normal again. I feel reattached. My brain is chilling out. My skull is normal. I spend the rest of my trip calling my girlfriend and trying to describe everything that happened. My mental clarity is amazing.

8:00pm: fully back to normal again but still feeling that “afterglow”.



It’s Thursday now and this week has been very interesting with a lot of thoughts about what happened. i didn’t get any answers as people usually do mushrooms for, I wasn’t looking for anything, but I guess it came to find me instead. So I’m super happy I did it and I can’t wait until the next trip.

Before August this year, I hadn't taken psychedelics for about 18 years. I used to take LSD fairly frequently and preferred it to mushrooms as I found it more stable and predictable. I used it for fun and never thought of it as anything other than a recreational drug.

Over the last year or so, I've read various articles and reports in the mainstream press about medical trials where microdoses of psilocybin have been used to treat depression with promising results. Having lived with clinical depression since my early teens, these reports piqued my interest and led me to source some mushrooms on LB which I tried microdosing with. I found these to have a definite benefit to my overall mental state and when I saw Psychonauts offering microdose drops, I decided to give them a go.

These drops are absolutely wonderful. They've provided me with the same benefits as mushrooms but feel much cleaner. The first time I used them, there was a slight but noticeable improvement in my mood and mindset however the second time I used them, I felt the effects more strongly. I spent the whole day feeling fantastic, something which doesn't happen often. I was less anxious and was able to manage my thoughts more easily and effectively.

The drops take about 30 to 40 minutes to take effect and can take about 10 hours to fully wear off. There's no full trip with such small doses but this means that they can be used in situations where tripping would not be an option.

The vendor is also a genuine pleasure to communicate with. They take the time to add a personal element to their messages rather than just sending template updates. Their advice and guidance had been very helpful and it's reassuring to know that they care about their customers, rather than just trying to make a quick buck.

If you're interested in psychedelics then I can't recommend these guys highly enough. Their customer care is superb and their products are excellent quality.

Thanks Psychonauts!

Is it just us...or is anyone else thinking..."Where's the F@%$£ is Summer!?!

I remember clearly walking like a penguin with my winter jacket in February thinking.."I can't wait for summer!" The beauty...the air...the plants...all green and pretty, and of course the heat. Strong and majestic Grand Father Sun blessing us with his rays of life. It was dream that soon ended with all this bloody rain and shall we just say, its just not hot enough!!

We've been observing ourselves...assessing where we are emotionally, and we realised we were down. There was even talk about depression. We here at Psychonauts HQ get very affected by the weather and we can feel our moods literally go up and down with the seasons. We need the sun for our survival...

"You're in the wrong country mate"! I hear you say...and we know. One day soon we will leave this place but for now we are really blessed to have access to our medicine. It helps us to change our outlook and perspective when it's most needed! Like a pair of 3D glasses gets us seeing the colour even when there is no light. It helps us to appreciate everything about life...even the dark days. I mean who said dark is bad anyway! We know without the darkness there can be no light...

So we admit, our Mother Earth is doing something...going through some process of change and we have to respect this. We also know we have to do what we can to work towards a healthier way of being/living and offer what we can to this planet whilst we are inhabiting it.

Anyway...we blabber!

We are just here to shout out too the any LB's feeling the summer blues right now and are in need of any support! We are here!

We love this community and we send you all a warm hug

Happy Weekend Bigga's!!

Hello biggaz.

I was looking for anyone who struggled with anxiety and noticeably that affects their stomach aswell as their mind? Suffered from social wxbietu for years and managed it really well to be fair however I still get that pit nerve feeling often. I know everyone is different but at time I can make myself over and over again until I feel it's went away which as we know doesn't happen very often with anxiety.

Anyway, if anyone out there who suffers from anjxety stomach as I call it and have a found a strain that helps beat this please let me know.

Oddly, I tend to be woken in the middle of the night with it and sometimes will keep me up for hours. So a heavy setting indica for guaranteed KO may be good but also factoring in anxiety a sativa may be good too? Recommendations appreciated. I have a pretty terribly high threshold which obviously doesn't help.

Thanks biggaz xxxx
