RE: Cactus and Succulent Labyrinth - Graaff Reinet, South Africa

in #travel7 years ago

Thats really interesting. I would love to have a cacti garden. If you don’t mind me asking why are you an ex psychonaut? I only ask because I consider myself one.

Sort:  

As Alan Watts said "When you get the message, hang up the phone". I'm turning 45 tomorrow and I started at 27. I did everything I could get my hands on and went in deep with the ones I was able to navigate without problems.

I have developed autoimmune disease and unfortunately I cannot handle tripping for hours at a time any more. Psychedelics amplify any mental and physical issues I have. This used to be helpful so I could work on myself, but as a chronic pain sufferer, I don't need my sober hell to be amplified for 10 or 12 hours and risk a bad mental trip on top of that.

I still do DMT/harmalas maybe twice a year because it's over quickly and I will always be a psychedelic type. Maybe in a few years I'll eat some fungi again or indulge in something like 2C-B because of the +- 4 hour duration. But only if my condition improves.

So maybe I will always be a psychonaut, just on a leave of absence for now...

I’m sorry to hear that and I totally understand. It was nice to see a fellow physconaut on Steemit. I hope things get better for you.

Thank you. Yeah, I looked at psychedelic culture on Steemit, but it's not a thing. I have a lot to offer (as I'm sure you do) if there was an active community.

I really miss it.

Well if there’s not one, that just means one needs to be made. I was thinking of trying start something of the like here on steemit.

Please do. I think there'd be an interest in it. Maybe I'm wrong about how much, but I feel like there would.
