Try trippin' near the top of an active volcano. Just a small one, of course.

But, after getting into Defunctland, and their little tribute to the series, I get the feeling I might have enjoyed it a bit; that said, when the brief clips of Zobooland was shown in the episode, my immediate response was "am I high right now?"

People were always saying that Sid and Marty Kroft made their shows under heavy LSD influence.

I can remember watching H.R. Pufnstuf out of curiosity, but I think it was just the style that made it bizarre. They at least had a structure that made sense, unlike the Zobooland shorts.

Also, even in this climate, where a political candidate can talk about smoking a shitton of pot and have the scandal be that she lied about being such a stoner, the Krofts still deny doing all those drugs. Hell, they apparently even fired a crew member for showing up to work stoned. Though apparently the name Pufnstuf was actually a reference to smoking weed, Marty Kroft said "that was just a prank to see if they could get them past clueless NBC executives"

So... Drug cultural appropriation?

Magic mushrooms taste a bit like sour almonds, if that makes any sense.

to OP, how was your trip man? I haven't tripped in a year or two; I think I'm about due

Kind of bunk. Definite altered perception but no visuals. I'd prefer acid if it wasn't for the godawful coming down and wrecked next day.

To me they always tasted like dirty cardboard and oh my god I'm gonna hurl.

Hmm, on 3.5 grams? If you took that much and didn't trip balls they were definitely bunk. And if you paid $35 an eighth I'd probably consider finding a new source... That's expensive lol.

And I've never had bad comedowns on LSD but I've heard of it happening; depends on how clean your acid is. 

Good luck and good vibes buddy

That 3.5 was split two ways. Yeah 35 is not a good deal, but it's dry.

Yea even at 1.7g you should've been tripping balls. Ever try the onion route? Luckily I know a bunch of hippes so different psychedelics are always available to me; I suppose I'm a bit spoiled. Better luck next time though, not every trip is what you expect it to be.

Ecstasy was my only bad comedown ever. Well, booze is a bitch too, but not on the same spectrum.

I don't think I'll ever trip again. I have too many responsibilities and too much anxiety.

MDMA tends to have a very harsh comedown (if you in fact even get MDMA; much of what is sold as 'ecstasy' today is actually MDPV and methamphetamine), which is why I never got into it.

With LSD, psilocybin and other tryptamines, you sort of just ease back into sobriety, for me there's never really been a real comedown on either. Though I suppose it depends on how 'clean' your acid is, personal body chemistry, etc.

I think psychedelics, used in the right setting, with the right intentions, can be amazing. But yea, when you have a job and/or family and other responsibilities, it's hard to find time to do things like trip your balls off and contemplate infinity.

Oh, we're talking a while back. I don't take anything these days or even drink.

My days of tripping were completely carefree in terms of responsibility. I think that's what made them beautiful. The only half bad trip I ever had was just quite uncomfortable for a few hours. Someone knocked on my door and I hid under my blanket watching Aladdin for ages.
