      I was very close to taking mushrooms and watching the Kamala Vs Trump election results come in. I figured it would be a very difficult trip if he won, but that the experience would absolutely be once in a lifetime

      I talked myself out of it and probably (most likely) for the better, but I’ll always wonder what that experience would’ve been like. Awful, yes… but wildly unique, also yes. Maybe I woulda transcended or some shit if I could’ve hacked it lmao

        I watched the Some More News livestream of the election night on shrooms. Warmbo singing happily and then descending into madness as more and more red states colored in was the peak of my existence.

      I’m having quite the bad time these days on even light doses of cannabis. I don’t know how people manage it.

        You gotta work up that tolerance, I’m kinda like you if I’m not on my daily dosage but once the tolerance starts kicking in it’s smooth sailing.

          You do know that “building tolerance” means the effects get weaker, right? It means you need to smoke more for the same effects, as your body develops a resistance to the cannabinoids. That’s like the opposite of what you want.

          Idk what word you’re looking for here, but it definitely isn’t “tolerance”.

            If one starts with very low or no tolerance then even minimal amounts can be a bit much. A higher tolerance can make that more comfortable. At these low doses, a small variation can impact the experience overall and some people will like it with a slightly higher dose which they need to build a tolerance to smooth out the harsher effects of.

            Not sure if that’s what they meant but in this way the word can be correctly used.
