I broke into a base once. My buddy and I climbed two barbed wire fences to get back onto base after going out drinking. I was unscathed but my buddy tore his shorts up pretty bad. It turned out we were on the golf course. It was 7am in the summer and the sun was coming up and we were getting hot, plus the booze was starting to wear off.

We ended up stealing a golf cart from the corral, driving it to the local base McDonalds and going through the drive thru with it. Once we got our McMuffins we ditched the golf cart in the parking lot and went to go crash in our barracks rooms. Thank god security was busy that morning. I totally would have gotten a DUI for that golf cart.

Yeah, you’ll encounter trained soldiers, not cops.

The '90s were wild.

They had a spot on the back coupler you could sit on.
And there was an open street crossing in my town where they had to slow down enough so that you could run up from behind and sit down on it.
When it passed the crossing you just jumped off before it accelerated again.

I also simply jumped the fence (after trying every other option, cause it seemed too easy).
Security was nowhere to be seen, but some guests didn’t like how I got in for free while they paid 150€, and got pretty angry.

Could have been Ritalin for all I know.

Well, now I’m a middle aged Linux admin with a beer belly.

It was a happy childhood.

This does read like a teen movie plot.

It would be really weird if married couples stayed together until they both died.

Unless someone is getting murdered.

Yeah I hate running but like having run. I don’t anymore, it was terrible every time but the whole rest of the day on a day I ran would be better. Just never did the runner’s high or even runner’s tolerance kick in.

i did a training program years ago to go from zero to running 5km without slowdown.

i stuck to it over like eight months, it hurt all the way, and when i had proved to myself that i could do it i quit because it just got worse and worse

I knew someone who t-boned an SUV on a Hayabusa going 198 mph (speed limiter limit). He was stupidly doing that on a major street in town at 2 am. It was a party town, so there were still plenty of people on the road at 2 am. There was so much force from the impact that he knocked the SUV on its side, and cut it almost completely in half. The people in the back seat were killed, and the people in the front seat were seriously injured. As for the rider… well, there wasn’t much left of him to talk about. I have no idea what got into him to cause him to think that was an okay idea, but it’s a mistake he didn’t live through.

I understand why you feel that way, but you’re probably not considering that every geo location in the world is not similar to your geo location. Some roads are better suited to handle aggressive riding than others, and some places are much more remote than whatever city you live in.

I’m shocked to hear that bike can go that fast. I thought they topped out at 150. I can’t imagine going that fast on a cruiser, with no wind screen. It seems like the wind would blow you right off the bike. Even at like 100 mph on a cruiser, I’m gripping the handlebars like crazy, fighting against the wind hitting my chest and pushing me out of the seat.

I looked to my right before changing lanes out of habit, and the wind almost tore my head off. I had to fight with all my strength to get back into the bubble behind the wind screen. Then I saw a puddle on the ground around a quarter mile away, started to react to it, and it was behind me before I could do anything. That’s when I decided that I was being suicidal and backed off. I never went that fast again. It’s cool to have experienced it, but once was enough. If I had access to the salt flats or something, then I’d do it again for fun, but definitely not on a highway, regardless of how remote it is.

Edit: it’s worth pointing out that depending on the moped, 50 mph is probably the absolute limit of what it’s built for. Going max speed on most vehicles is scary, because you’re pushing the limit of the design. When you’re going 150 mph on a sport bike, you’re well within the limits of the design. Suspension, traction, exposure, and all that are still completely manageable. Plus, you’re encased in riding gear, jackets, gloves, full face helmet, boots, etc., and behind a wind screen which makes an air pocket, so you’re not really exposed to the wind blasting all around you.

Yeah, I was young, and dumb, and invincible.

That’s rock concerts you’re thinking of

My ears give me difficulties too. You can try it out in a pool if you find classes. A divemaster finally showed me how to bend and twist my head while equalizing my ears to get my narrow ear passages to allow air to move around. Now I can usually manage a second dive when going out.

Dude same!!! Feels like your entire mouth was just smashed with a baseball bat. Those pins and needles lasted a whole day

Difficult for your mum too

Start with a low dose. Around 1 gram. Get a feel for it a time or two. Then step it up as you feel comfortable possibly up another gram. They will make you explore your mind and self. Don’t do them if you have been in a negative or bad mood as it intensifies how your feeling usually. Don’t do them in a bad unsafe environment. Lockup phone and keys. Have a sober companion with you the entire time you can entirely trust. Relax. Plan to do nothing in public.

What OhVenus_Baby said has good info that I would agree with. I would also add that it comes it waves. You’ll feel the effects intensely and then it will ease up a bit. Write down things (ideas, past trauma, reasons for your behavior) that you would like to think on. I would say think about it really hard before hand and try not to think about it the day of the trip. Your subconscious will be already on it.

Think about mood and setting. Some music without lyrics was good for me. I ended up listening to some orchestra covers of Tool. Lofi beats were good too. I also found some video of a POV walking on the beach and watching the waves.

Also draw and doodle with your paper. It looked cool to make the lines. Some people will tell you to stay inside, at least for your first experience. I went out my first time on shrooms and it was great. I walked in the grass and found a pine cone. Your experience may very. If you feel weird about tripping that day then skip it till you do. Let the universe tell you when it feels right.

As far as the rewiring or after effects…it may take a day or 2 to fully fill changes cementing. You’ll have a lot of thoughts. That’s why doodling helps me represent my feeling or thoughts on a subject.

The rewire part is like just giving you a different perspective. You might always smoke a cigarette after lunch. That is your normal routine. You don’t even think about it. After you eat you last bite, you hands automatically move to the smokes and you move to the door. You are following this path because it is so routine that there is comfort in it. Even if you want to stop. Your body craves the familiar routine. After tripping, it’s like your mind shakes an etch-a-sketch and erases the lines. Or it was tire paths in snow and now shrooms cause a new snow to fall and you don’t know the old path.

Trips give some people perspective so they can close old painful wounds. After we learn from events, it’s good to close the chapter so we don’t get dragged down by it. Many people can’t see that there is another path, you just got to make it. Again not everyone. Just me and many others experience.

In the moment It was mostly concerned with the task at hand, which was usually drawing, listening to music and adoring the funky visual effects (no halicunations tho). But the most specific thing that came out of it was changed relationship with some of my friends.

One of them was, for instance, quite annoying. I seem to be quite sensitive to the stuff, meaning that I was the first one “in” and the last one “out”. He was the kind of guy to tease people a s a joke. It annoyed me before, but during the trips I finally realized how immature and annoying that stuff became. He was joking about me while I was in a vulnerable state and expected maturity from the people around me. The changed perspective meant that I finally got to look from the outside in and determine that I maybe should disengage from the relationship a bit.

It’s not that I wouldn’t recommend others to do it. I just won’t do it again because I now realize how much this kind of stuff kan really affect you. As long as you’re in the right headspace it can be a very cool experience. I still remember, after hours of chill music, how we all suddenly fell silent after an intense build-up followed by a heavy DnB drop. It felt physical, like I was suddenly pushed into the couch by the bass and couldn’t get out. Not sure if I’ll ever experience music in that way again.

They’re like someone with a salty mouth sucked regular peanuts until they absorbed all the warm saliva and swelled up, and then spat them into a paper bag and left them for a few hours on a warm park bench.
