I agree - I go regularly a few times a year to enjoy Amsterdam 😎, but you can also easily grow your own mushrooms and never run out 😆 ..Or maybe look into DMT. its so efficient and you can vapuorise it at any dose level you like using standard e-cirgette sub-ohm pod devices that everyone uses. Just get your mix ratio right for the occasion - Even tiny non visual puffs can bring huge energy and a clear calm headspace in under two songs!

Yes to both! Before discovering psychedelics in 2017 I could not have written this post. I'd have overthought it out of existence and felt crap over this reply for days to the point of anxiety meltdown. Socializing was impossible beyond literal logical interactions. I was unable to understand or feel emotion, couldn't look people in the eye, hold a non-logical conversation, empathize, understand non verbal communications, sarcasm, speech and flow of words and language, musical awareness was just 100% DnB all day to write code to while I played CS:S from breakfast to 3am then woke up alone to do it again in my bedroom all day. I spoke in a monotone logical manner and only felt excited over a dumpster full of IT recycling waste I could dig into. I was isolated from school and put into the "special" department where the difficult kids end up and I learned nothing except how to grow a big ego and retaliate to get sent home where I could relax with a VHS or PC to disassemble. I never felt love, loved or ability to connect with another being. I felt like a shit disease and blamed myself for existing. being "different"/"broken". being unable feel anything for humans but left out and lonely. Some days I didn't get out of bed until 2pm. I've been depressed as long as I can remember. Then I took 65g of Hollandia truffles + Harmalas in Amsterdam and experienced an 80's themed neon blast of energy/confidence/relief/peace/balance that ended up in ego death/infinity/awareness/pure energy? I lost my body / spacial bounds volumetric space....then I rebooted! The state dissolved into purple and blue cityscapes of scifi glowing tron while I cried into the pillow for over 5 hours as I watched my life playout infront of me. Scenes, places I could be, events I could go to, sitting in a car with a partner looking out over the city as the enormous sun set behind the skyscrapers.. I felt like I had a future, I felt like had hope. I could see more than just tomorrow being writing C or getting angry online dying alone, things reformed over 40 mins and visually I became aware of my body and how every part is interconnected and interdependent and will affect all the others so symptom-whak-a-mole won't ever help for autism as cause vs effect can be so mis-wired and random, which is why I never touched Pharma or other drugs not even a hit of weed til I first took the mushrooms as I was certain I was the one that wanted so much to change After this trip, I ate lightly & went to bed, woke early which never happens, with energy too!, got up showered fast feeling very v e r y V E R Y strange, left the room and looked my mum in the eyes and said hey! had a chat for an hr through tears of relief and then I felt hungry and so I walked calmly down the street to the bar and walked in & ordered fries and a coke n' lemon and sat down idly on my phone chillin' waiting for my lunch. This was literally impossible 24hrs before to the point of forever asking anyone else present to go get take-out and I'd eat in the car. I felt zero anxiety. With anything, and, this was the trick, was so full of energy I was able to follow/notice/be okay with/ literally every tiny little sensory thing that bothered me before and now didn't - And I've retained this ability since more or less but not the energy to power it. That lasted a good THREE MONTHS of daily energy from 3 or 4 trips....BUUUUUT...I got sidetracked and distracted and I ended up dating my support worker and further tripping kinda vanished for about six years...oops! ..Well she didn't work out and now I'm trying again after 2 years of processing the heartbreak. I can still manage daily life a thousand times better sober than before I started tripping, even after 7 years. But that sucks mentally wanting to make basically anything work and never having energy to make it because brain screwed up vs. naturally enough serotonin to keep everything powered Last few times I took mushrooms though ('20, '22), I got this firm feeling / "direction?" that mushrooms wouldn't help and DMT was now the way forward for me. I was like..."ooooo kaaay~". Took two more mushroom trips over the course of a few months and got exactly the same message but all were worth doing. So then I started researching it, reading countless posts and reports and studies, getting all the bits together to build the vape and here I am! it seems to work amazing so far for me in the little doses I've tried but I feel this IMMENSE anxiety/tenseness/aversion to taking it which I'm working to overcome as I've always come out of the experiences laughing and crying about wtf was I so worried about feeling better for usually the rest of the day if not 24hrs from these mini-trips. That alone is life changing if it can bring me this feeling after a toke and 3 songs. World's best anti-depressant :) I've not yet attempted the breakthrough or combining Vape & MAOI but a trip with harmalas and a is burning in my mind right now TL;DR: I feel DMT brings me more energy/life/awareness/ability than shrooms, not taking Pharma, and Autism ain't going away and cannot be "cured" but I can live perfectly well for blocks at a time with these plant medicines vs. never being aware that a life could be lived. I really hope this kinda helps answer your questions, feel free to ask more😁

Need the tories gone for that! 😁

Yes! and the reverse too. If I leave it too long, like months between, energy fades again and I find myself back in old routines and just "getting by" not living. The ego will always return, and its the user's job to regularly keep it in check :) The last 4 times I've taken mushrooms (over ~3 years) I got this deep feeling that it "wasn't mushrooms" anymore, and that I should explore DMT next. I then proceeded to have a good trip anyway and started reading about it and researching, and ended up with a vape sitting on my lap. I took a few puffs in the garden 3 weeks ago, and started randomly dancing and moving to the music, energy flowing everywhere, and felt great for days! this has never happened before (I usually stay sat down my whole life at a computer) ..but I felt I must move

Lunatic extremist Christian cult conspiracy theorists^^^^^^^^ Claiming that psychedelics cause demonic possession etc. There are downsides to psychedelics, but the above links are pure conspiracy nonsense. The people in the links above also believe in "gang stalking" or "targeted individuals"

Stupid Christian freaks.

Yep! I tried a few small doses and just felt like it didn't *happen*. I'd sit there for a while, wait for it to hit then feel like all the anxiety of a mushroom trip without any of the emotional release benefit. Big doses redefined intense for me with each successive dose. If you're in tears and laughing about it to each successive song you did it right! When its more intense than one's ego it works, all therapy/release does. Otherwise it gets analyzed out of existence by overthinking ego and in fact fuels the problem making the user work subconsciously to erase and control reality (senses, feelings) I used to dose 5-7g equivalent mushrooms 2-3 times/month. However I've barely been able to trip once or twice a year recently with the last good big one in July due to a lot of life and relationships getting in the way.. I have also been recently diagnosed with ADHD, stimulants only provide momentary relief by counter-overloading the "negative" sensory input to bring one to a floating neutral. Then it wears off. Psychedelics stimulate the serotonin system and overload one with energy in every way at once, for me it was extremely sensory musical crossover of 80's blast self aware aware of others aware of everything vs. depressed and isolated in a tiny loop of logical routine trying to avoid all sensory input/change/transition. After the large dose trips I felt able to express my own energy for the first time in my life Don't be scared just make sure of set & setting and do it with someone you really trust and work up in dose a few g's at a time. A few mg isn't gonna do it tho. It really took the harmala MAOI + ~6g mushrooms equivalent to "get there". You'll feel it when you know :)

Colorado just decriminalized Psilocybin a few days ago 😁👍

Hey, my website shut down a while ago but you can still find it on the Web Archive, check the video description for the new link :) You can contact me on Telegram but I might be a little slow replying: t.me/TheRealAlyx

Hey :) I've never forgotten how to socialize or what I learned during the trips, just ran out of energy to apply this after max 2years or so after the last trip, with the peak of the energy lasting ~6 months/dose for me. Life factors like physical pain and relationship stress do drain it quicker the longer the trip has been though, one's tolerance/ability to to handle these situations scales with the energy and decreases until one is back at the baseline they started with + all the knowledge and experiences of feeling better than that

@@TheRealAlyx ok, thanks for the reply.

💜 I've tripped on a balcony before at sunset on the 23rd floor in central amsterdam - that was amazing! I've yet to do a "big" trip outdoors yet though, sadly this last year has been a real mess.. Hopefully I can find out what being on mushrooms outdoors feels like again in summer '23

Amazing! I'd love to experience a music event in that state, Mushrooms really do heal and bring energy & love 💜 Other people can sense your energy and your confidence attracts :) I've yet to try MDMA but I've heard of research in using it to help social anxiety in autism with great results! I'm certainly interested in trying it sometime Oh alcohol & psilocybin don't mix 🤢

Thanks! I've got to make an update video soon, life has been all over the place recently 😶

Hey, yeah it is down but the web archive has a complete copy of my blog, check www.thirdoption.tv or via web.archive.org :)

A little, the room dissolving into neon as I felt this massive energy blast that lasted all day of positive vibes but I've not had the chance to go further or more often due to relationship and life issues Hoping to explore more very soon - it seems more "efficient" than mushrooms for the same kind of energy 😁

@@TheRealAlyxthis is true. Just make sure to not bad trip while on dmt. The bad trip can be more intense than even magic mushies

@@DankMemer42013 👍 I've been starting low with a weak vape mix and its been nothing but good things so far, energy for days even handled a hospital appointment without stress the day after a small trip. It also erases a headache/weed hangover/anxiety in a few seconds! I've been obsessively reading trip reports and Reddit for months too

I've tried microdosing 0.1-0.5g mushrooms every few days back in 2018 and had a mild benefit, but found mega-dosing much more effective. I can't find a "sub-perceptual" dose as I notice even the 0.1g and feel sensory differences and slight "trippy" headspace. Would rather go hard and fast then not have to think about it for a while :) Bigger than bang, the better the benefit

@@TheRealAlyx From what I read, microdose takes a while work, takes weeks or months to cause new connections to sprout, kind of like antidepressants work. Might be worth a 3-6 month trial to "grow the brain" 🧠. I got some great effects in college from low doses before class, totally obliterated anxiety without visuals, and understood concepts in class better. It's just impossible to determine exact dose from a natural product. Too bad psilocybin pills in exact doses aren't an option yet. Psilocybin is even being tested for Fragile X Syndrome to improve cognition by causing new connections to form in the brain. I can imagine it possibly helping people with learning disabilities for the same reason.

​@@jamessimpson9690 Ah I only tried for 2 weeks every 3rd day :) I've never worked well with things that take a long time to happen, hyper active brain just diverts to something else or gives up if it doesn't "work" efficiently fast enough to divert me into something else I've recently been exploring DMT for this same effect - a 10min trip and I have energy all day for 12-24hrs, and it erases anxiety and negative moods instantly - the transition is my biggest issue going from baseline autism to...something. I don't have to tell myself its working or wait for days 😬

Microdosing is overrated.

Its still on the web archive at thirdoption.tv (it should redirect if you enter it in the address bar) :)

How often do you dose?

@@Scooby-Snacks I haven't for a while as I am taking other meds that may contrainducate, but I did the recommended every three days, which is so you get a dose day, an integration day and a rest day (partly to keep tolerance down). Enjoy :)

@@audhdcreativity5899 thanks for taking the time to write back. I'm still working on me. Work in progress

Hey, I've been real busy with life recently (relationship trouble got lost in pot to cope with it and lost track for a while..) I've heard of Paul Stamets, he was on the Joe Rogan podcast talking about his experiences. I've not had the energy to "take in" watching much recently but I do enjoy listening to stuff and playing music a lot

Hey, yeah I've been real distracted with relationship issues recently and got lost in pot for a while but I'm on the way through now, going to Amsterdam in 2 weeks to do another massive trip and get the emotion working again 😁 Serotonin is what's not working I'm 100% sure. All classic psychedelics activate the serotonin receptors and make the user FEEL instead of only (over)think I'm on telegram and twitter but I might be quite slow at replying but will always get there in the end :) Yep I'm ready for another heroic dose, I've been so stuck these last years going nowhere back in my old thought patterns I've had cubensis and sclerotia but never cyanescens yet 😮

You should try it, then. You could also consider a long Ayahuasca retreat.

Ever in one go? 108g of truffles + harmala MAOI. Was tripping for 15hrs on that one 😮 My best experience however was 65g of truffles + harmala. Total ego death energy emotion blast life refreshing kinda thing I may just need massive doses..

@@TheRealAlyx wow. Well done 👍🏾 Congratulations

@@TheRealAlyx 108 grams of truffles? How on Earth? I was tripping balls on 30 Hawaiian (a strong strain). I guess 45-50 grams would be in the heroic dose, but I know it's impossible to overdose on mushrooms, at least. You'd have to eat like many kilograms of it, and it's not so palatable. I am not familiar with Harmala MAOI. Should look it up. Are they also sold at the shops in Amsterdam? I am going to go on a 3 week Ayahuasca retreat this winter to deal with various issues. I enjoyed my psilocybin trips, but I guess I needed some higher dose or micro-dosing, and that's hard when it's not legal.

​@@QUINTUSMAXIMUS It was supposed to be 90g that time but the packets weighed in at 108g all total, mashed the lot up and made a very large cup of tea.. 45g truffles felt like 4-5g dried mushrooms yes, just around the heroic dose level. I'd say each 15g packet == 1.5g mushrooms equivalent or so. They also may have gotten weaker over time as they don't want dutch tourists to overdo it.. Harmala is sold in Amsterdam yes, I took the Syrian Rue 10x extract from Azarius Smartshop

Hey, I'm almost certain psilocybin will give him an emotional experience if he wants to find out about himself :) I've also tried several varieties of dried cubensis mushrooms and still needed well over 5g to get anywhere which I've always found strange. Maybe the harmala of the early trips played more of a key role than I initially thought? Yep well onto the diet already and not eating any of the above - other than the odd gluten-free biscuit :)

Strangely enough I didn't "feel" much during the trip, only saw some mild visuals while my internal monologue was trying to solve why I wasn't feeling it. I went to bed after the experience and woke up without anxiety at all. No idea how how that happened but the day after I just wanted lunch and walked into the city to get some without any stress! 😮 It lasted about 3 months

Ayahuasca didn't really help me as much as I'd hoped, but I felt some change, so I did benefit, but I prefer 5 MEO-DMT or Bufo Alvarius.

Yeah you're right, its the connection to one's own emotion that's missing. Its usually too intense so one learns early on in life to disconnect themselves from "social" and focus on trivial bullshit instead, 24x7, to fill the void while lonely inside and not knowing why. The psychedelics re-balances this by being an entire emotional sensory experience

Hallo.. could we have a chat.. i jave a few questions..

Which psychedelics did you take? I wasn't told before that I was rude. Well, a long time ago, but she was a very rigid person.

I took the one that starts with L and ends with D.

Shut up you absolute idiot. 🤦🏻

Vruh you wackkkkk.

kiki.. sounds like you could benefit from psychedelics, you obviously have no empathy. And no, he doesn't look like a mutant he looks completely normal. There must be something seriously wrong with your life for you to put your energy into insulting people online...

I don't have autism but I would hang out with the guy in the video any day. He's a really interesting and positive guy. You in the other hand I feel sorry for. Go heal yourself

Your attitude is revolting.
