I was originally going to vote for weed here only because I get tested at work semi frequently so I can't smoke it. Ended up changing to alcohol because in another world where I could smoke weed then alcohol would be my choice here.
Shrooms surely on track to win at this point, right?
really wish we could’ve brought it down to a final 3 of mdma/shrooms/acid but weed instead of mama with the other two is fine too so long as it goes out 3rd.
I don’t have much preference over which of shrooms and acid wins, I like them for different reasons and in different contexts/moods even though they’re both hallucinogens. Objectively speaking though I do think shrooms has the edge, and it does seem to have garnered the fewest total votes across all rounds so far
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

C'mon guys be honest with yourselves. Alcohol makes the world go 'round.
On the song NY State of Mind from the album Illmatic, people overlook a great line from Nas where he says, "beyond the walls of intelligence, life is defined." Alcohol breaks down those walls and adds definition to life. And as Kendall Roy said of his late father in the hit show Succession, "Yes, he had a terrible force to him, but it was only that human thing. That will to be, to be seen, and to do. And now people may try to denigrate that force. But I sure hope that force is in marijuana, LSD and mushrooms, because with alcohol gone, god knows the future will be sluggish and gray."
It's the crispy beer on the balcony during the Fall. And it's the wine you swirl around a glass and pretend to know the qualities of in Napa. And it's the Stone Cold Beer Bash that you pour all over yourself. The Car Bomb on Paddys. The Marg on Cinco. The Busch in the beer pong cups. And its the shot you take right before you work up the courage to walk up to that girl in the bar. Then it's the bourbon that your sipping with your friend years later when you tell him that you plan to ask that girl from the bar to marry you. It's the bottle pop after she says yes. It's the champagne toast after your friend gives a best man speech at the wedding. It's what you wish you could have for 9 months while she's pregnant. It adds vibrant color to every football game, beach chair, hair cut and morning drive to work. And its there when you are all getting trashed at children's bday parties together. It's there for all the great moments, little and big. And ultimately its what your lifelong friend will pour out at your grave site one day.
These other drugs can't do what alcohol can. You couldn't have Shrooms being done at the rate of alcohol in this society. Prohibition ended long ago for a reason. The people have spoken. It's horrible for you and everyone around you, but it still has to be legal. That's power.
And all these other drugs are selfish. Sure they are super cool experiences for you. But come on you aren't adding anything to society you fucking potheads. You're on the couch. Saying stupid shit that isn't funny unless you're also on it. Drunk people provide content. They do stupid shit instead of just saying stupid shit. We need that stupid shit.
At the end of the day, alcohol lubes up the best conversations and connections with other people in life... REGULARLY.
Does it also ruin lives, and will it potentially kill us in 10 years? Probably. But I WOULDN'T TRADE ONE (hundred thousand) STUPID DECISION(s) FOR ANOTHER (forty)FIVE YEARS OF LIFE!

Last time I did shrooms I laid in bed and for 2.5 hours and witnessed god as a spinning tornado of fire and she expressed to me that I was an impossibly small section of one of the tendrils and that I've never made a decision in my life. A real Old Testament experience. Also that if I wanted to really dissolve my ego we could go there some day but I better be fucking ready for it. By the end of the trip I just wanted to go to the grocery store and talk with my friends.
I love mushrooms but they're not the silly good time for me that a lot of people seem to have. I use them to set my shit straight once in a while.

Porque no los dos?
I was on shrooms one night when James Murphy was spinning at the Knockdown Center and I started to feel the social anxiety that sometimes comes over me in certain situations, but then I visualized that anxiety as a ring of open hands and realized that all I had to do was not walk through it and I'd be fine, and so I did that and just danced and had a kick-ass night partying under cool lights, and now I use that as a visualization tool to deal with that anxiety when it does come up even when I'm stone sober, and it works great.

Hell yeah!
I'm not saying I couldn't do shrooms in a different way, I definitely have. But every time they're like "excuse me bitch, you know that we work best together when you're alone and have space and time to be silent and contemplate."
Acid on the other hand. There is hardly any experience in the world more enjoyable to me than a festival day and a tab of acid. It's one of the only drugs, maybe the only drug, that elevates music for me. High energy levels through out the day. A bit of the out of body experience that makes it feel like a movie without any heavy haze like weed gives me. Don't have to pee every 25 seconds like booze. It's just great.

Oh also acid makes most other drugs better too. Trip cigs are like top 5 sensory experiences for me. A few beers at the end of a trip is godly. Nitrous on acid? get outta town

i only took mushrooms alone one time, i listened to pink floyd's "animals" in its entirety and it starting STORMING outside. from that experience i learned that "animals" is awesome.

Booze is the only one left I still fuck with, and everyone who thinks tripping "elevates their conscious plane" or whatever is a fucking nerd.
i mean, science quite literally says otherwise.
“One of the most interesting things we’ve learned about the classic psychedelics is that they have a dramatic effect on the way brain systems synchronize, or move and groove together. When someone’s on psilocybin, we see an overall increase in connectivity between areas of the brain that don’t normally communicate well."
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Yea but I see people saying it’s life changing, while there isn’t shit changing in their lives.
well sure, some people definitely oversell the capacity it has to CHANGE their life. you cant just trip once and fix your mental health problems or something--no drug or substance out there has that power. but it sure as hell possesses more capacity to put you on a path towards bettering your mindset, anxiety, etc. than getting drunk does lol

idk I definitely get more thoughtful and emotional sometimes when I’m drunk.

Shrooms were the last one of these I ever did. Quite literally life changing for me. Had similar experiences on LSD but they never stuck the way shrooms did

The last time I did LSD I had some sort of spiritual experience after running out of the house I was in and ending up in a neighbor's backyard crying and saying I "threw up my demons." I called my dad but couldn't tell him how to find me 'cause ya know hallucinogenics but I found the closest street sign and told him to put it on his GPS. He came like 30 mins later to find me still holding on to that street sign. I ended up cycling through laughing and crying with him for a few hours but it was pretty rad because he had done a bunch of acid in college and knew exactly how to handle me in that state. It was honestly a pretty rad night of bonding with him

it's a good point. personally i think the most "life changing" value comes out of the first psychedelic experience one has. the whole cracking open the doors of perception thing. beyond that it gets to a point where we are just partying. which is fine but i think we need to be honest about our intentions, as opposed to trying to convince ourselves we are seeking spiritual enlightenment when we munch a bag o' boomers for the peppas set at bonnaroo 2024.
