/psy/ - psychology and psychonautics

Lains, let's discuss the wonderful drug that is marijuana.

Some questions to get the thread started:
What's your favorite way of consuming marijuana?
Know any neat tricks/techniques to achieve maximum efficiency, etc?
Ever done any DIY rigs?
How often do you consume it?
How old were you when you tried it for the first time?
What's your favorite activity to do when high?
What's your favorite strain(s)?
How hard is it to get in your area?
Any wacky adventures you've gone on?
Favorite combinations with weed and other drgz?

When one has mental illness it is sometimes difficult to have insight into your own disordered mind and behavior, but I still occasionally have a fleeting moment where I wonder to myself how I must look to an outside observer. I literally spend almost every waking moment of my life in front of the computer. My three monitors cover so much of my visual field that—combined with my headphones and blackout curtains—my subjective experience is almost completely artificial now. I think that this environment is at least somewhat responsible for my struggles with depersonalization and derealization. It's easy to feel that you and your world aren't real when everything you experience is already virtual. Despite these problems I cannot get off of the computer even to migrate to a different screen like a phone or television let alone do something not involving electronics or further still actually go outside. I know this needs to change, but I don't know how. Please help.

Apparently "expired" drugs are still good:

So Lains, What's the oldest stuff you've taken?

Even if it's some old weed you found in a baggie you long forgot, did it still work? For me, I only know that painkillers that I've had for years are still pretty potent when I need them.

I haven't had a single dream in months, perhaps even a year. How can I fix this?

lain, i need some help. I want to know if anyone has had anything like this happen to them.
predictions through dreams, more formally known as precognitive dreams. To see or predict a future outcome. Ill go ahead and start off by saying I am no psychic, or at least i don't call myself one. This all started a while ago, not the dream but the situation.
(gonna green text it since it's not that important)
>12AM
>summer night
>cant sleep so i pull up weeb-tube and look for a show my friend told me about
>anime is about this dude wanting to hook up with creepy/cute chick
>dude has crazy dream at night about gril
>gril does said things that happened in his dreams
>"wait a min….."
D E J A V U I H A V E B E E N I N T H I S P L A C E B E F O R E
At that time i had just remembered about some stupid drama from way back when, and how i predicted every single thing that happened through a crazy dream. Now onto the main subject.
>school night, i'm currently fast asleep
in my dream i was in school. Dead silence, just the soft ambiance of the rain outside. (for the sake of privacy everyone's name will be replaced with an evangelion character's name) The grimy tiled hallway clashed with the black surrounding, the walls looked like dripping shadows and the ceiling was a sickly pale white. out of nowhere, my childhood friend shinji grabs my hand. without a word he walks me to down the hallway, besides the pallet switch of the school, nothing was out of the ordinary. There we're no crazy infinite halls like in mario 64, or demons condensing into the walls. Just your average public school (as scary as that already is).
So shinji is walking me down the school halls, until we make a stop in front of the principles office. I peek in and my heart jumps, inside i see rei talking to someone who's behind a desk. I've had a crush on rei since junior high, i felt so bad and worried for her. I wanted to punch right through the glass to go comfort her. I was interrupted by shinji tugging at my hand signaling for me to follow him.

Anyone else listen to ambient noise when they sleep?

My Favorite to sleep to is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usKnZsrvuOo
It knocks me out flat.

I also have a habit of "imagine when before sleep". Like pretending I am hiding aboard a ship, street side etc.

Anyone else do that?

Can you get addicted to information?

Sometimes i get a sort of Very feel good rush from consuming large amounts of visual and audio information at once, is this a sort of "high" of sorts?
It makes we want to get more information to get this "High" again because it is a very wonderful kind of feeling.

Have you similar experiences of this Infornography?

My dreams have always been super lucid, and I've been able to control most of them
They usually take place in my ideal safe space, a void with a lone Coffee shop floating, inside are all of my friends and the basement, a rabbit hole where you can go to forget all the bad things, have some tea and chill
It's really comfy in there, like a warm blanket
If you decide to leave the coffee shop, you are left suspended in the void, only surrounded by the physical form of your most favorite music
Physical and visible sound waves I guess

>have slightly odd dream
>forget about it
>years/months/weeks later
>Deja Vu? how can this happen? this is completely unfamiliar…
>remember dream
>how did I dream into the future?
Does this happen to anybody else?

I got some serious melancholic depression, tried escitalopram, sertraline (zoloft) and nothing

Been 6 months with vortioxetine which is supposed to be this brand new AD drug that even has positive cognitive effects and instead of getting back some of my concentration and other faculties which depression eroded but instead its making me even more depressed, dumb, slow and sleep a lot this last one really ironic since my shrink actually was afraid this pill was going to make me sleep less/be too alert but it had the opposite effect

So I'm at the end of the line, my life sucks but my crippling depression got so bad I can even muster the effort to do something about it and pills clearly don't do anything

Any ideas?
