There’s more variety in types of shrooms than any other substance imo. There are many kinds that are pretty chill, but Blue Penis Envy by example is not to be trifled with.

That’s interesting, and I get what you mean, although I’ve definitely had similar experiences on shrooms where I was “locked” out of reality.

One thing that I’ve learned over the years is that being sound of mind is extremely important when it comes to doing hallucinogenic substances. As someone who is generally very low in anxiety, this normally is not an issue for me, but my few bad experiences have all occurred during times of emotional instability.

Sorry, didn’t mean to sound condescending.

But yes I definitely have. That’s the cool thing about things, everyone can have their preferences and that’s alright.

Maybe you’ve never had access to high quality mushrooms then? Being from a place where they can be bought in a store, quasi-legally, I won’t eat more than a couple grams of the stronger varieties, because 2 grams will already make me see sound and hear colour. And I ain’t no light weight.

But a couple tabs of acid, sure. I’ll be vibing hard, definitely acting pretty dumb. But reality will not melt before my very eyes. Might see some cool colours and what not, but it’ll always remain controllable. The problem is always the length.

Now DMT is a whole 'nuther thing. 5-10 mins of, holy shit I’m not even on earth anymore, and then BAM, back to reality. It’s quite nice.

IF I have like 10-12 hours, I’d take acid over mushrooms any day of the week. So much more predictable, and as someone who has little interest in microdosing, it’s a more controlled experience.

I’ve never had a bad time on acid, but I definitely have with shrooms.

Imo, it’s a combination of that, and really outdated teaching methods.

La Francophonie is large enough that people never need another language to access additional information. They even have their own pronunciations for Anglophone celebrities, which is bizarre at first.

I once had a conversation in a bar where people were talking about a famous musician named ‘Kenny West.’ My friends were astonished that I had never heard of him. It took me like 5 minutes to realise that they were talking about Kanye West…

Like I mean come on, he says his own name constantly in his own songs…

For sure. Being a native English speaker, it’s worth paying a little extra to go to the cinema in Switzerland for me.

The French don’t do subtitles, they dub everything.

It’s horrible.

Is that another name for physical therapy?

Back in my old city, which has a large Chinese population, I went to a physical therapist a few times for a hurt back. The staff didn’t really speak English, but it was covered by workers compensation so I gave it a go. Those people were absolute magicians, I tell ya. I’m not exactly sure what they were doing, as I was almost always laying face down, but I’m pretty sure it involved needles, and they definitely did some electroshock therapy, but boy did it work great. I just let them do their thing, and it really seemed to help along the healing process.
