Okay, so, I was over at a friend's house a few minutes ago (read: Holy Grail and weed), and I wound up huffing a couple dozen balloons worth of helium. It was a good time.

Then we started talking about ether! Which I haven't done in a long time. Does anyone know any good, safe, legal places to get some?

Also. Salvia divinorum. I would love to try it, but it's technically illegal in my state. Are there any ways to get some sent to me, or otherwise acquire it?

Also. Any other weird, out there drugs (preferably safe) that you all think I should try? Tell me about them! (Alcohol, weed, crack/cocaine, heroin, LSD, psilocybin, and other common-type-drugs are off limits for purposes of this conversation.)

[oligophagy]

why would you huff helium

[Iggy Poop]

Yeah isn't huffing helium pretty much the same as not breathing at all?

I'd recommend Hawian Baby Woodrose, it's the only one I've really tried but it's pretty decent for a 'legal high'

[parkbench]

None of them are what they're cracked up to be; all of them are pretty much a waste of your time. Nutmeg, Baby Woodrose, Jimson Weed...finding the "legal high" is just the pathetic suburban solution to being unable to buy real drugs; buying real drugs with any regularity is just sad.

What I'm saying is: there's no magic bullet. Can't have it both ways. The legal high is never as satisfying as the "real" high because it almost always is based on weird folklore and myth and doesn't work half the time. Illegal highs, the strongest kind, are the only ones you will probably fall in love with and those are the ones you should keep your guard up around.

This is the official Stick to Weed It's the Only One You'll Actually Feel Working Unlike the Others Which You Will Wish Were a Lot Stronger But Are Ultimately Pipe Dreams But if You Don't Listen to Me Have Fun Psychonautin' Ya Damn Fool post.

Also, helium? What? Do you mean nitrous, or did you actually huff helium?

does nitrous oxide count?

[Hot Stott Bot]

also you should seriously conside axeing this for the not-on-google property.

[DonMarco]

Extra-strength nighttime Nyquil is worth mentioning.

i agree with bot

Breaking through on salvia was a really difficult experience. A Taco Bell parking lot isn't a great venue for taking dissociative drugs, though, so your mileage may vary. The experience is out of this world so it's worth trying once, but I doubt you'd want to make a habit out of it.

these herbs are supposed to be good

Sceletium tortuosum
Pedicularis densiflora
Passiflora incarnata

If you drink enough kava you'll feel something, but it's really gross and earthy.

i seriously do not think salvia is a good idea for you.

[eskaibo]

I hear like Dramamine and DXM are pretty Holy fuck man! on high dosages. Though uhh I dunno I've never tried them myself. And they're probs pretty old news?
Oh hey yeah NyQuil looks to have DXM, so there you go.
www.erowid.org is probably a good place to look.

damiana was enjoyable but not comparable to getting really high

Just heard a radio show about that amazonian plant that has DMT in it, how about that. The show said it's all the rage in Colombia

[Hot Stott Bot]

maybe when jesus turned water into wine he just threw some special plants in the water and everyone was like "whoa man it is just water but it got me nearly as fucked up as that wine last week, wtf jesus?"

[bleak]

kratom is a good thing i hear that you make tea out of and drink to enjoy some pleasant chillaxative sensations.

so yeah why is this not in the axe yet? i am new here and rambling about these sorts of things would be a fun ice breaker.

i will stick to stuff that's legal here!

obviousness:

salvia. first time i took it, i had just come back from the beach. this stuff heightens your sensitivity, so i could suddenly feel every single grain of sand still stuck on my body. sweat and needles. geometry and gravity everywhere. didn't help that my friends all turned into trains and flew through the fucking wall.

i've taken it a couple of dozen times since. love the stuff. just never take it after going to the beach, jesus. why are you all adamant that it should be done alone? highlights mostly involve witnessing friends going nuts on it, and i only remember what i do physically thanks to people telling me after. good sitters make you feel safe. and are also hilarious to watch once its their turn. example: friend of mine goes up to the window, opens the curtains, looks outside. "what're you looking at," i ask him. response: staring back at me as if about to face certain death to save a city, he tells me "i have to make sure the world's still out there."

the crazy feeling that you're participating in a cactus/messhof game wears off after five to ten minutes, yeah, but there's still a latent notquiterightness till a fair while later. twenty minutes after she took the stuff, i noticed another friend was staring at the carpet. "what're you looking at," i ask her. response: a finger pointed toward the ground, followed by the words "how do they expect us to get on that bus? it's way too tiny."

in conclusion people on salvia look at things you cannot see.

and music is not necessarily a bad accompaniment. listen to loveless while hiding under a blanket if you insist on going it alone.

in conclusion salvia is a FUN DRUG that will make you meet god and laugh a lot. or it will be terrifying. but it doesn't last long so you'll only have five minutes of existential terror. silent hill speedrun basically. drugs = videogames irl (most of which are survival horror).

ridiculousness:

galangal is pretty much what people use instead of ginger in thailand. supposedly, if you take a lot more than is usually chucked into a stir fry, it gets you good and high. main benefit is that it costs pretty much the same as ginger, so you get multiple trips for a dollar. i ate a whole lot of it. it smelled like pinewood. it tasted like pinewood. it had the texture of pinewood, even. the only effect i noticed was that my face went numb from all the spiciness. apparently there are different varieties and i got the wrong kind. still it only cost a dollar and if you use it right it makes rice tasty as.

i don't know the legal status but i want to see someone on ayahuasca. 30 hours of constant hallucination -- as well as constant vomiting and violent diarrhoea!

cactus is legal up until you put it in your mouth (and even then it's legal, as long as you're willing to make "cactus eater" your religion; fuck yeah, freedom of religion). also i am now talking about cactus as in the green spiky stuff that ruts out of the earth, not the indie game dev dude mentioned above. i do not know if it becomes legal again after you vomit it up. twelve hours of amazing. i thought my friend was both jesus and a stegosaurus. and since i saw jesus while i was on the stuff, i wasn't breaking the law!

so yeah if this is where we're meant to peer pressure you into making your life more interesting: take cactus, kiddo. it's all over ebay and those sortsa places. hell, you can buy them at walmart if you know what you're looking for. tastes like paint thinner, but it's worth it; you might puke, but hey, same goes for booze.

in conclusion AXE PLZ

hallucinations are pretty boring

[Hot Stott Bot]

we merely use them as a symbol to represent how far into the deeper meaning of things we've gone, i think

[Gin]

Bot I really don't think the secret of life is going to be found via tripping balls

Maybe you should focus on finding a significant other who can share some of your feelings

I mean flying high is pretty great sometimes but it ain't got no future except flying high some more till you burn out

[Hot Stott Bot]

i disagree with you actually i have already found several secrets of life from tripping balls

[Hot Stott Bot]

also nothing has a future in pure excess (neither focusing on finding a significant other or substances) moderated excess is the key to all things

[slipstream]

Smoking low potency salvia and kicking it with a friend is definitely the way to go, I think. Just all talking about life interrupted occasionally by fits of laughter. It gives you such a fresh perspective.
