‘Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas’ by Hunter S Thompson- it’s a classic!

Thanks, I always assumed it was autobiographical, I'll give it a go

There is a stark realism that shows he has definitely “been there” but the craziness and quantities involved have to be fiction- I don’t believe anyone could walk away from those levels! (Even Jonny Depp in the film version!)
Let us know your view!

Have you ever read ‘The Acid House’ by Irvine Welsh. A book of short stories the majority of which centre around people on an LSD trip. Very very funny book

Fkn love all his books... filth, acid house, trainspotting, there all so close to real life for Irvine not to have dabbled in drugs...

Weird I was talking to my mate about that one yesterday, neither of us could remember if there were any LSD related stories it's been so long

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
by Tom Wolfe

A classic.

If you're even remotely into late 60s psychedelia you must read this book.

Non fiction but key.

Just come round my house on a weekend you won't need to read a novel. Lol. 🍄😁

Spot on mystery man!

there is a great movie directed by Ken Russell called Altered States, the original novel was by Paddy Chayefsky.

The original trip novel but about mescaline - doors of perception by Aldous Huxley, the brave new world guy…

Classic text - well worth reading in full, not just his description of the mescaline experience.

I had a copy with my extensive handwritten notes comparing some of his description with my first psylocybin experience. But to this day I had never had mescaline.

Talking about mescaline Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan trilogy is worth a look although it is hard to separate fact from fiction.

Trilogy? The first 3 books?

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. A bit of insight into the history and counterculture. And as already mentioned, Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley.

“LSD my problem child” is a really good book by Albert Hoffmann the person who was the first to take LSD and discover it. And “How to change your mind” is another good book

and a great series now on Netflix :-)

Philip k dick- many are inspired and involve these themes try Ubik or “the three stigmata of Palmer eldritch” but the best writer of the suggestions you have received so far is Tom Wolfe- the story of Ken Kesey writer and 60s iconoclast- “the electric kool aid acid test”- a classic

“Trippers” by William.J.Booker
“The Mad Artist” by Roger Keen
Especially the latter as he describes his trip on microdots. Funny and terrifying.

The BIBLE

the best of all time is the teachings of don Juan by carlos casteneda. It is amazing. and dont care about people saying its not real, its real, its just written in a fictional way to make it seem like legitimate research. its one of the best novels ever written.

Naked Lunch by William S Borroughs

Have a look at Irvine Welsh bro/sis he's defo took some of the love liquid ✌️✌️

Has to be the TELETUBBIES you don't need any pycadelics watching that so it saves money.

Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon contains an awesome acid sequence about 100 pages in. The Illuminatus trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson also has many mind bending episodes.

Hey friend, sounds like you have a great project on yoru hands. I would highly recommend "LSD and the Mind of the Universe: Diamonds from Heaven" by Chris B bases his research on the grandfather Stan Grof's high dose LSD therapy. There are so many amazing insights which would help you in your script.

Good luck and when you finish would be very interested in reading :-)

Peace, love and Connection 🙏

Island by Aldous Huxley.

Hey Family,

Try "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe.

This non-fiction book delves into the experiences of author Ken Kesey and his group of friends, known as the Merry Pranksters, as they embark on a cross-country journey experimenting with various mind-altering substances. The story captures the spirit of the 1960s counterculture movement and offers a firsthand account of their wild adventures, psychedelic trips, and exploration of consciousness. It provides a unique insight into the impact of these substances on individuals and their interactions with society.

Peace and Respect

My diary lol but you're not having that

At the end of trailer park boys, the main characters consume a lot mushrooms. So much that they turn into cartoons, which leads into the shows animated series.

Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg has a telepath character undergoing a bad acid trip by proxy

Ecstasy Club, you can get it from America on eBay. And automated alice

'Stone Junction' by Jim Dodge.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter Thompson
A reality tip - LSD effects drop off the more frequently it is taken - if your characters are dropping tabs more than once a week, then they are no longer tripping

Hi desydesy

That is a very good point which I made lately about trying to have tow mushroom trips back to back. It doesn't work for the same reasons.

Your post reminded me of - not fiction - but those horrible stories abut project MkUltra.

According to wikipedia Ken Kesey himself first encountered LSD in an MkUltra funded trial.

I remember the book passage where he described a squirrel dropping an acorn sounding blue.

What I meant by horrible stories is those stories of them keeping people on acid for days on end.

Not sure if it's true.

That being said there is a well known and hilarious youtube clip of the Bristish Army undergoing the same kind of military research regimen in 1964 I think.

we need another currency here but not but cause of the price fluctuations. More the massive fees some customers have to pay.

I mean no offence when I say, nobody was complaining when it was rising 400% this year. No doubt it will again.

He’s definitely highlighted a huge issue though.

Based on what will it rise again?

Crypto is a cyclical product, history repeats and it shall again, everyone saying remember when it was $3000! This will be the case again when it’s $300,000, everyone will say remember when it was $32,000.... If you look at what actually happened during the crash recently, many institutional investors made a fortune and jumped out, sadly retail customers panicked as they always do through sheer lack of knowledge followed suit and crash... all that happened was many retail coins were rebought for a 50% price reduction by you guessed it institutional investors... What people ie us are doing is letting the same people that control all the Fiat wealth of the world do the exact same thing with OUR currency the people’s currency of crypto, people want change but we’re either too stupid or simply no able to communicate the plan the actually create a new unbeatable currency, Bitcoin simply isn’t it as too much is now held by too few and the wrong few, what needs to happen is normal people need to buy some crypto, even £20, £50, £10,000 any amount, but we need more in the hands of individuals NOT the super rich and investment banks. If you think that the powers that be will not make sure they at least triple their investment then you’re stupid and that’s why Bitcoin can and will go up wildly in the next 5 years. Long term Bitcoin will be the new gold, once who they want to own it owns it then the price will stabilise and it’s status as digital gold is complete, personally I see this at the $1m mark. As a currency to use Eth 2.0 will blow BTC out of the water and ADA/Cardano has a massive possibility also. Please don’t fall into the trap they’ve set, they want your money out of BTC so they can have it as the greedy fucks want the 1% to be able to control the 99%. Buy BTC buy ETH, ADA, VET etc and Hodl leave the big boys to fight and trade amongst themselves because you simply will LOSE! You can’t win the deck is stacked against you, what they can’t take away is your keys, buy the dips like they are and win long term.

I don't understand the question

Question is are you delivered my order (to Bulgaria) or not ?
I know my English is bad ...

Yes I sent one to Bulgaria 2 days ago

Send vendor a message mate , hopefully he will sort u out, good luck

I did but no answer

Cool mate, hope it still lands for u , should once u had address in

Dude I did the same last week dont worry about it should arrive no problem only thing it wont show is the order on your order history

Thanks

Lol I was gonna ask the same thing! Love the cheese would happily buy!

An unfortunate, unrelated nickname

How did you get this nickname?

Make sure cookies are on

what country?

One says to, the other says from United kingdom.

Click the one that says to and it should give you a list.

Yes i did, and selected united kingdom and completed the address 5 times , each time it says error please complete destination country ie as if i havent alteady done it?????

Any ideas appreciated

I’m assuming is your first order.... maybe before trying to make an order, try to add your address into your account.
Then try to make an order. You will just have to press your “saved address” see if that works

I tried that, il try again later from another browser i think.

A different browser is a good idea! Don’t worry it will be something simple! But I know the feeling, so close! But yet so far!!!!! Lol it’s worth it though believe!

Thanks ill try again later . Fingers xd

what device/browser?

Chrome

Sprayed with what?

I’ve got 10 years on you and no idea how your process leads to this conclusion.

Pretty sure "spayed weed" was anti-drug propaganda in the news and papers in the late 90s and early 00's as the rise of what they called "skunks" took over - only time I've ever heard of it. It doesn't even make sense to be real and I've never seen it or even ever heard anyone say exactly what they think it's sprayed with!

Also think it's odd that when stuff like this comes up the sellers name or strain of weed never gets mentioned.

I'm not sure exactly, some sort of polymer. You can spot it a mile off compared to real thc. The below is the best zoom I can do. See how all the 'crystals' are long straight particles - they have a very light gritty feel to them.

At the zoom level i would find it hard to tell. Great way to check your bud is a jewellers loupe 60* or 90* with a light. At that zoom level it should be possible to confirm.

If you can feel the grit when rubbed on teeth thats no good. Believe some deposits from a grow where nutrients have been heavy handed can also be gritty from online reading.

Have had some street green from years back that had glass beads. This was gritty if you rubbed on teeth and produced a sore throat and chesty cough.
Normal trichs should dissolve when rubbed on teeth.

Trichomes can have different appearances other than the colour of the head. So just being straight may not be the identify an additive. This can depend on strain, grow, time of harvest. Here is a decent article https://www.leafly.com/news/cannabis-101/what-are-trichomes-on-cannabis

If you think it is definitely sprayed please name either dealer or strain. Perhaps LB could introduce an initiative if someone gets weed they think is contaminated they could send it off for testing at LB cost.

Vendor grown, organic and happy to pay for a test. What a top response.

Fine answer. I've seen weed that appeared sprayed on more than one occasion,in lb,but I've seen the cheese masters page and his stuff doesn't appear sprayed not does he seem the type to fuck with his weed.

I remember that shity sprayed glass beeds stuff,just rub your finger true the bud, rub your finger on your gums and you could feel it crushing between your teeth, horribly nasty shit, also sprayed weed nowadays is mostly chemical, were they get real poor quality weed and spay it then you get an artificial high which again I's nasty shit

If you're sure then you need to publicly name the vendor-seriously!

mate untill your certain I wouldn't call out the vendor publicly that could damage their rep etc think if you was in their position vice versa it could be a simple case of paranoia pmsl Respect LB and community as well big up too all vendors and I don't think it's sprayed mate it looks as if you need a new plastic grinder I remember mine starting to rub the outside of the plastic off into mine that little green dot looks as if it may have come off the grinder man IMO and previous experience ✌️but I don't want to say your wrong mate because if someone is doing that they should be kicked from the site simple as that respect everyone peace and much love :)

All I can say is it may make an interesting discussion.

Personally I've no idea what product that exists you think has been sprayed, or what it is about what you did that brings you to this conclusion. All I see is keif, but every day is a school day.

Any old shit is going $80 a Q on here all day long and you don't get to inspect it in advance, so why bother hunting down such a rare product as a polymer spray that looks like trichomes.

If you do name and shame I hope you continue to include how you came to your conclusion.

Now I'm nowhere near as experienced as some people here but speaking as someone who's put in a couple of orders with the vendor you're accusing I think this might be a case of something else, or simply you being paranoid.

A few people have mentioned that the trichomes can be affected by the way it was grown and/or harvested. My only issue with Cheesemaster is that sometimes the buds haven't been perfectly cured so from what people have said here that might just be what's happened. I don't mind the lack of curing though and I'm more than happy to support an honest vendor (who's mentioned he's happy to pay for tests btw) that has an organic growing set up. Feels like the weed equivalent of supporting a local business!

I also got a 3.5g order of the Amnesia Lemon (the strain in question) and I never noticed anything untoward about the product and will be ordering from the vendor again in a week or two. Also as someone pointed out, why would someone on LB try and swindle people like this when they could just send any old shit? Sounds like a lot of effort for not much reward.

I’ve ordered, different strains, many times and have never had an issue or concern. All I’ve ever received is very good quality product and never been disappointed.

Ive got weed or hemp too many parts overly engineered hemp trying to be weed before. looked like this was some kind of pineapple that was just stork trichomes with little to no heads, mainly flat heads and globs, no to say what you got there but maybe, the so called safe thc? that just stops burning?

I bow to your experience but I am confused. Are you saying they are faking the triichomes? Would this make sense on mail order weed?
The reason you should involve the seller is so they get an opportunity to respond. You gotta have the courage of your convictions IMO....

Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:

1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.

2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.

3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.

4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.

We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.

In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.

We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.

Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.

Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.

Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.

Peace yo.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.

Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

The whole SNP "independence" thing is a facade.

The SNP want to leave our union and join the EU club because they'll give them more money than Westminster does.

They still want to be financially "dependent", just a more generous sugar daddy.

I'm talking about the SNP, not all Scots :)

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!

I certainly don’t need a referendum to establish my Scottishness.

I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.

Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.

She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.

I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.

Just curious, what do you believe to be the SNP's ultimate goal?

I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.

British here too. I feel like the silent majority of my country are the same

Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?

Cool. What were you born?

Obviously, not britain. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.

Wait do Scotts not have bangers and mash?

What an outstanding post thank you

this bigga

good one, i guess that goes for any anti colonial movement like vietnam for example

It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?

Sounds like something a Scottish nationalist would say.
