My fantasy is going with Carlos the Taurus I met at a concert. He offered a few years back but I declined it because he’s married boo. But in my fantasy I’d go to burning man with him like he had offered, and fuck in our tents to every song that excites us. Like we were macking at the concert when a good song playedBefore I found out he was married.

I mean isn’t that what burning man is for

It guarantee contraction of an std. lol

yes there's lots of sex for those willing

my burning man crush talked about participating in foursomes in such a matter of fact kind of way

you'd think she was talking about something as banal as grabbing a quick lunch from a local fast food joint

i also grew up in the southwest... where rainbow gatherings happen w/ some frequency.

v familiar w/ the burner life style

i have some common ground w/ them so, i’ve begrudgingly intermingled w/ burners my whole life.

i've heard of rainbow gatherings ( like in tv or movies)

but i didn't know they were real lol

i'm from southern CA and have ownly encountered hippie festival goers in my twenties

due to growing up in a pretty conservative Christian family.

I'm talking church 4x a week.

lol acid scares me.

marijuana and psilocibin is as far as i go.

maybe also mdma if administered by a professional and in a therapeutic setting ( to treat my ptsd/depression/anxiety issues)

the two drugs i listed above i initially used for therapeutic reasons.

so far i've yielded mixed results.

but to echo your sentiments i wish people wouldn't lie or omit details about whether or not they are seeing someone/deeply involved with someone else.

dang really? i find lsd to be way more fun & manageable than mushrooms. its my fave.

i still fry very very regularly. these days i am more intentional about my psychedelics. i dose once a week so i can emotionally purge & gain new perspective. although, if i leave the house for a night out, i am always on at least two tabs & something else.

about every 3 months, i’ll switch to mushrooms for a few weeks to give my brain a rest.

i dont like mdma bc, ime, it’s too often just been straight up meth & i hate uppers, at this point in my life.

i was using ketamine everyday for about 4-5 months to see if it would alleviate my depression. i saw really good results but snorting shit for too long always gives me a bad headache.

mushrooms are the best for mental clarity & depression, i think 🤗

i only tried truffles technically

( 7 grams of atlantis in holland ) where it was legal.lol

i'm very by the book.

i'm a brown person in america so i know the law is not on my side.

but the truffles did help...it was like a good yoga/meditation session which seems to work better for me that cognitive-behavioral therapy.

i've seen at least 8 therapist....and i usually always feel the same or worse afterward.

i totally get it. while, i am not white, nor black, i am v v v aware of what being non white in america feels like. i do not have health insurance & ive used drugs my entire life so, i figured i may as well educate myself & try it therapeutically, at this point.

i cant do therapy sessions. i have extreme stranger danger & often feel better working things out by myself.

i’ll use the hallucinogenics as my therapist... even a really bad trip will give me clarity by morning. i always say “if i’m not sobbing, i’m not having a good time” lmao

lol jesus.

good things to keep in mind.

funny i'm actually volunteering at the zendo camp which is the psychedelic harm reduction camp at burning man this year.

excited that my application was accepted so i can be of service to burners in need of extra support during or post a challenging trip
