I'll begin
Weed- Chronic 2001

Tago Mago- Shrooms
opiates -Bitches Brew
psilocybin- future sound of london - lifeforms
cocaine- the gun club - fire of love

Coke - Crystal Castles
Ketamine/MXE - Portishead

Variety is the spice of life, ladies.
Oh, almost forgot:
Codeine/Oxy/pills - Eminem
shitty taste
These are my jams.
Loveless, Ecstacy And Wine, The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Neutral Milk Hotel, pretty much anything spangly and indie.
Amorphous Androgynous, Younger Brother, Butthole Surfers, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Psych Rock, Psytrance.
Deep House, Acid Techno, Hardcore Techno
Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Clan Of Xymox.
Weed doesn't enhance music for me personally, so I'm not going to include it.
What's some good music for taking heroin to? about to go buy some
>pic related - captcha
>No New York
>Anything other than MXE
jebus mane
it's an album chart, not an artist one silly
there's already a chart for killing yourself to different drugs i think
This album.
Nominate some albums then faggot
That's just a few for weed
Getting a bunch of oxy and prometh syrup Friday
What's some good shit to listen to?
>inb4 dj screw and all types of chopped and screwed music
Soulwax - This Is Belgium Part One: New Beat
asap ferg
So what's the deal with pills?
Are they cheaper than pure mdma?
gucci mane
ugk asap ferg
Yes, and easier to find. Pure M is almost impossible to find even here in the Netherlands where we make that shit like tulips.
Mah nigga
I am genuinely more inclined to try MDMA now you've mentioned it.
From what I've experienced of euphoric serotoninoids in acid, that album would be pretty fucking good on mdma, no?
cheaper but cut with random shit and could have any dose of mdma in, stick with pure mdma
Fedora's are just the people you don't like.
I don't think there are any fedoras left in the world apart from elderly cubans and people from barbados.
telepathine- gas - pop/coil - time machines
computer duster- grippers nother onesers - live at slimer beach/james ferraro - night dolls with hairspray
heroin- john frusciante - smile from the streets you hold
Silk Road niggus
The way Open Eye Signal builds and builds without really leading anywhere is one of the best experiences i've had on mdma. So good.
Fuck Buttons is good mdma music too
Just reported every post ITT to 4chan AND to the FBI. Enjoy your arrest, criminal scum.
>heroin- john frusciante - smile from the streets you hold
Agreed so fucking much
Recreational drug usage is for losers who got nothing else in their life.
So what's going on with the news saying people OD on one pill?
Is it the mdma or the probable rat poison?
PCP- Busdriver's Temporary Forever
I just smoked some aMT right on
I enjoy 25i, not as much as LSD, but it's nuts. Very visual, a lot of fun IME. Does anyone else enjoy the 'synthetic' feeling drugs?
why are drugs users such idiots? fucking degenerates.
Well when people die from one pill; it's usually shite [research chems] put in because they're cheaper but the rare occurrences where MDMA is the cause of death is nearly always in pure crystal form and a high dose for a novice who mixes it with alcohol.
you've done well
just kidding druqs are stupid.
Muh neg
My fave is 25n, but 25i is wonderful especially once you get used to the body load and feeling of it.
>I enjoy 25i, not as much as LSD, but it's nuts. Very visual, a lot of fun IME. Does anyone else enjoy the 'synthetic' feeling drugs?
25i just made me feel cooked without any of the uplifting/enlightening experiences I get on LSD/Shrooms. Plus that shit constricts your blood vessels in your brain. It's really not worth the risk when acid is so much better and easier to obtain.
either the plethora of shit in the pill does it, or they were already on other drugs, or they had too little/too much water, etc
I don't think the amount of mdma in any one pill would be enough to kill a grown person
Most likely not MDMA. Piperazines maybe. And there are not many drugs that will kill you with a single pill, I think those stories were exaggerated or the person took more without letting others know.
LSD - Music Has the Right to Children
Weed - Welcome to Sky Valley
aMT - Mirrored
MDMA - something by Danny Brown
Nitrous Oxide - Music for Nitrous Oxide
DXM - Computerwelt
I had a great time on 25i when I took it. Jagged, black and white CEVs, spooky and creepy OEVs, black metal sounded awesome... Overall just a really dark and fun trip.
My gf had less fun. She was terrified the whole time and experienced really disturbing hallucinations for months afterward. I will never give RCs to girls again.
What have you achieved with recreational drug use?
Whoops, that was meant for >>48313875
Great album though.
I wouldn't say acid is easier to obtain at all. Have you not realised there's a huge problem with people being sold 25i instead of acid? Acid can be reliably obtained from the dark web, but then 25i can be bought in bulk for way cheaper, peanuts even.
Maybe I'm giving it a hard time. I remember taking some 25i in bed one time and watching James Cameron's Avatar. It was very good until the scene where they destroyed the tree. I had to turn it off then because I had the feeling if I let the movie finish then my life would also finish.
>tfw no way of copping opis
Gained friends, gained new interests in music and art and have gotten to know myself and my mental state better.
And lot's of fun.
"Drugs are bad and you're all idiots"
We know we're idiots. And we don't give a shit. Go back to your anime or something.
Depends what album. Tarot Sport is totally a hallucinogen album for me.
I've not tried shrooms, mescaline or salvia yet but I'll do some
The Books - The Lemon of Pink
Acid + Weed (20 hour trip over a dub gig (DJ Wrongtom), a night's sleep from 4am-9am, and half way up the train to work!):
GY!BE - F#A#oo
(vis a vis the way it takes you an entire new storyline)
Emptyset - Recur
Sleep - Dopesmoker
Alestorm - Captain Morgan's Revenge
(I'm Scottish and regularly drink Captain Morgan's, so it's close to my heart. Also good drinking music anyway)
Burial - Untrue
Where are you from?
I live in Victoria, Australia, and it's easier for me to obtain an entire vial of liquid acid than it is for me to get 25i tabs.
The other day I was high and decided to try and listen to loveless and it was so good but one song felt like 20 minutes but other than that it was good. Any similar experience?
This. I got 250 blots of 25i dosed at 1.2mg for £35
Marijuana - Mm..Food
Alcohol - Relationship of Command
DXM - Untrue
MDMA - Crystal Castles III
Ketamine - Dummy
LSD - Yerself is Steam
Shrooms - Vision Creation Newsun
NBOMe - Autechre
>I got 250 blots of 25i dosed at 1.2mg for £35
Jesus Christ i was being charged 15 dollars per tab of 25i. Not sure they were dosed, but still.
I agree. I've felt things I'd have never felt had I been part of the moronic DARE crew.
I listened to Feedbacker on acid and it seemed to last hours
The noisy bits felt like I was being swallowed by a cloud of feedback it was amazing
Aussiefags are the exception; your customs are the only ones in the world worth a shit. Most dark web vendors won't ship there due to the rate of lost product.
Updated with a couple things I forgot.
Weed: Mm.. Food - MF Doom
Alcohol: Far Beyond Driven - Pantera
Baijiu: Modal Soul - Nujabes
Opiates: The Screw Tapes - DJ Screw
Nitrous: Absolute Power - Tech N9ne
DPH: Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs
DXM: Untrue - Burial
Adderall/Amphetamine: Cavalcade of Glee - Venetian Snares
Coke: Legacy of Blood - Jedi Mind Tricks
Ketamine/MXE: Third - Portishead
Kava: The Rite of Spring - Igor Stravinsky
LSD: Ghost Reveries - Opeth
Shrooms: Sun Ship - John Coltrane
RC hallucinogens: Glassworks - Phillip Glass
DMT: Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden
And I haven't actually tried MDMA. I hate the idea of being happy for more than half an hour at a time.
honestly i'd say it's almost possible to feel as good sober as some of my best drug experiences and that's a fact i live in full knowledge of nor have any problem with
Is there a weedcore chart? I'm kinda thinking Sgt. Peppers would be a cool album to put on, what you guys think? Smoking for the first time and hanging with some friends that aren't into music. What should I put on to make everyone have a good time?
One time listening to pork soda I could fell a swarm of bees buzzing around my head. The song extended throughout the night (most likely on repeat).It felt good.
My braaaaiiiiin
What? Distorted sense of time? Sure. 1st time I heard Exit Music by Radiohead I was stoned out of my mind. I swear it felt like the song lasted for 45 minutes and by the end of it I was almost crying from the (perceived) epic scale and beauty of it.
da fuq is baijiu
Do I just get shit weed or is it normal to not gain " a whole new perspective" after listening to music high? it feels exactly the same, I enjoy it a tiny bit more I guess.
Dub/reggae. Pete Tosh, Bob Marley, Lee Scratch Perry... the cheesier the better, it's great when baked.
If you're metal fans; sludge metal or stoner rock.
Sgt Peppers has always been an acid album for me. I had my first comeup on it and it was fantastic, euphoria fo days
It's a weird and foul-tasting sorghum alcohol from China. Feels kind of like being drunk and on opiates at the same time, if you've ever done that.
Oh, another one I forgot:
Xanax: Earl Sweatshirt - Doris
youre not high enough. take a T break
Oh god I had similar experience listening to Autechre I think it was a song called inhake and I could feel little people going into my ears, it was so weird and great
It's not life changing IMO, but you just enjoy it a little more.
Weed is not a psychedelic- it won't change your perspective except on weed. Mostly it should just make you very idealistic, easily pleased, easy to drop blame or feel innocent, be shitscared of the police, and really fuckin hungry.
>be shitscared of the police
Oh my god there's nothing worse than running into the police at McDonalds while you've got a grinder, pipe and a few grams of weed in your pockets.
Cool, thanks!
That sounds pretty rad.. How did you feel during the crescendo in Day in the life? I would imagine it being really fucking intense
I listened to Doin' It Right on 25i last summer and the vocoder part felt like a worm wriggling around in my insides, and it tickled like crazy and I couldn't stop laughing for the entire song. It was great.
>at some festival
>drink a quarter bottle of vodka
>drunk as fuck so judgement is totally off
>friend has a rock of pure MDMA
>we sit there scraping it and snorting till the entire thing is gone
>can't feel my legs
>head to another tent
>get handed some 2ci
>drop that

>somehow end up at bjork
>as i watch her my field of vision starts opening up again and feeling returns to my body
>i have no memory of the set ending it just sort of drifted out and i woke up the next day in my tent
that was a weird night
I disagree, I find such situations fucking hilarious- in retrospective, of course. At the time my brain stops feeling anything and just goes into full-on paranoid plotting time about routes around the sauce and bin and such without attracting attention.
That was where i was juuust starting to trip and it blew my mind. The lock groove had me in fucking fits of laughter, really brought my first experience to be clear euphoria. If I'd listened to it on a higher dose or when peaking it woulda blown my mind if the sound quality was ok
Paragraph 2 for >>48314175

nick drake - bryter layter
Black Sabbath- Master Of Reality
Welcome to Sky Valley
Sleep - Dopesmoker
Sgt. Peppers
Afroman - The Good Times
I'll make a poll at ten, so two more nominates?
>whole new perspective
Every single person on this board exaggerates everything all the time, especially in drugthreads.
Weed's never given me a new perspective on anything, except that I found out I really like weed, but it does make music a lot more enjoyable.
Burial - Untrue
That shit's like sonic ritalin, you can party to it, study to it, do whatever to it. It's great.
OP again

I'll put these up in a bit as well.
Re-reading my post, maybe it should be under something like ritalin.
>Burial - Untrue
>you can party to it
but that is objectively wrong.
Bitches Brew

Busdriver's Temporary Forever
Which drug?
I prefer Tales of the Inexpressible.
Anything you like will be good, probably.
I sometimes hear things I hadn't noticed, or understand lyrics differently, but a "whole new perspective" would be an exaggeration.
Candy Claws - Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time
Darkside - Psychic
Allah Las s/t (also great for LSD)
Love - Forever Changes
AnCo - Basically their entire discography.
Frog Pocket - Gonglot (not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it)
Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna
Crystal meth
FlyLo is essential DMTcore..he even has a DMT song
Last Call for weed entries
DJ Rashad's Double Cup LP is suitable for weed, codeine and MDMA. Versatile.
Drake - Nothing Was The Same`
Bardo Pond - Amanita. Every time. Especially Be A Fish https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnxon3lh4aU
I also generally don't like post-rock but This Will Destroy You - Young Mountain has been great when I've listened to it loud while tripping. I think it's a fantastic record.
cocaine- Graduation
The Magnetic Fields - Holiday
Aux Raus - This is How This Works
these options are horrible
where is MPP?
jazz music of all kinds on opiates sounds god tier, highly recommended.
John Frusciante - Empyrean goes great with drugs
Op here, I'll do the opiates acid, and Molly ones in 10 mins.
can you read?

ketamine - coil, tool lateralus, xasthur
M8 you can get a good dose for a tenner off the net.
Or you could spend £40 and get a nice gram of glass crystal
This is a great benzo album. I once listened to it coming down from a three day speed binge and it was like being born again
What is DPH like? Can't check any resources cos my phone has some bullshit content control and I can't be fucked to drop it.
Seeing it likened to Amesoeurs and Anaal Nathrakh makes it sound interesting.
put When The Quiet Comes on the DMT one
Unpleasant as hell. It is not a fun drug at all. You will feel like shit but if you're really desperate to hallucinate from some weird reason you could take. But take it from me, it's really not worth taking
>I once listened to it coming down from a three day speed binge and it was like being born again
all i do when i come down from speed binges is cry and contemplate suicide
this has been done already
Iron Maiden and Chromeo are essential Cocaine Music
Get some benzos my nigga, valium, xanax etc are a fucking life saver for coming down off of speed. It takes away the anxiety of coming down and let's you sleep
Cannabis: Electric Wizard - Come my Fanatics
Psylocybin: Shpongle - Nothing Lasts but Nothing is Lost
MDMA: Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
Everyone gets to nominate one album for as many drugs as they like and those get put into a strawpoll where we decide what goes on the chart.
>Cannabis: Electric Wizard - Come my Fanatics
good pick. We should've put this in
itt pathetic, active drug addicts with shit taste
Seeing Flume live tonight at terminal 5 in NYC. What drug do you guys think I should do? I have this really pure LSD i got off the silk roads but i dunno if i wanna shatter my ego during a concert. I also have 98% purity MDMA, but was thinking of also saving that for Rustie on friday.. Do I just smoke a lot of weed? I was trying to find some ketamine but shits rare
lsd opeth? are you fucking insane
What substance would you guys recommend for Since I Left You?
nig erry1 gone
Try some 2cb/c as you get nice visuals but it's manageable mentally.
does that make you a self-righteous cunt with most likely even shittier taste?
nope. most druggies' tastes tend to be uniform. entry-level electronic and psych-rock peppered with shitty EDM and niche drug music like Hallucinogen that has no real artistic value. drugs aren't required to enjoy music, and definitely don't elevate your consciousness or make it 'objectively better'. in fact i'd argue it ruins your ability to discern from the good and bad; why do you think e-tard kiddies salivate over brostep?
When me and my friends did 25i (thought it was acid), 3/5 of us had bad experiences, we were mostly listening to Hyperdub's 10.1 comp that came out this year. One guy reverted to some kind of nature boy and ran around the neighborhood without a shirt stealing lawn ornaments. One guy went catatonic and I had to look after him. Upon waking to James Blake's ST, he told me how he saw himself dying in hundreds of different ways, eventually accepting the fact himself that death is inevitable. I thought the coolest thing I listened to on it was Andrew Jackson Jihad's People Who Can Eat People tho
>I had the feeling if I let the movie finish then my life would also finish.
My friend thought that if his battery ran out on his phone that he would die. Apparently this type of thing is common on 25i
jeallin so hard rn
420-Core for highschoolers
No. Plebs just tend to brag about doing drugs. Regular people don't bring it up. The people that you identify as "druggies" are simply fitting themselves into a stereotype and they want to be perceived that way. You must really not get out much. You're saying the equivalent of "all christians hate gays" or "all black people are poor".
>comparing drug users to impoverished minorities
drunk - itaots
25i - centipede hz
morphine - the perfect prescription
dxm - mbv
mushrooms - major organ and the adding machine
acid - person pitch
scopolamine - automatic writting
dph - trout mask replica
E -justice +
weed - rolling papers by wiz
coke - stop making sense
honorable mention - grateful dead, works with most drugs listed above
Except I'm not. I'm saying he's spouting an uneducated opinion. Way to not address my actually argument.
You've done scopolamine before? How was it? I see it available on SR but I'm not sure my morbid curiosity is enough to overcome my rationality.
Coke - Stop Making Sense
this man gets it. Best album to rail lines to, hands down. Life During Wartime gets me hype as fuck.
Thats the only thing on that list I didn't do. I suggested it as a joke cause that album is a chick talking about being raped.
also buyers market for any date rape drug
Weed: Endtroducing.....
LSD: Richard D. James Album
Mescaline: R Plus Seven
Shrooms: Strawberry Jam
DMT: Until the Quiet Comes
only did the drugs I've taken. alcohol should be left off this list
What's with all these people having bad experiences with 25i? I'm not going to call people out for not enjoying it, but it's almost like the internet is on on a big circlejerk to give it a bad name. The first time I took it, it was a bit trying at first, but the come up is always a little rough. Beyond that I've enjoyed it a lot every time. I guess the trip can come with a hint of sinisterness, though the same is true of acid... and, well, that's a pretty well-liked drug.
>he told me how he saw himself dying in hundreds of different ways, eventually accepting the fact himself that death is inevitable.
Jesus, that's pretty heavy. I've never had anything close to that on 25i. But I had an intense 900mg DXM trip the other day, and went through a period of thinking I was dead, or was dying,or had died and been reincarnated, and had transcended the mortal plane, all at various stages. I dissolved into the universe and I distinctly remember at one point being convinced beyond all reasonable doubt that consciousness continues after death (I have atheist views)
MXE - Philip Glass, Nicholas Jaar, Ryoji Ikeda
Cocaine - Fleetwood Mac
amphetamines: no love deep web
shrooms: the saint and the sinner lady (or your favorite jazz album)
LSD: crystal castles I
opiates: within and without
cocaine: remain in light
MDMA: immunity
alcohol: boxer
can i be you
nah, psychic chasms is acid-core for people who have never actually dropped acid
My little brother smoked marihuana once.
Now he's gay.
tons of weed and a good amount of acid.
14 year olds - the thread
yeah, because 14 year olds are renowned for indulging in regular drug use, right? people like drugs, grow the fuck up.
why are drug-addicts so defensive?
so wheres this list? where will it be?
Op didn't deliver
i always imagine ahm for being good on psilocybin mushrooms, never tried. is it?
fuck nbome
MDMA - Gas - Pop
Why are faggots so defensive about their gay rights? Why should we respect their life choices and right to happiness?
Drugs r bad, mmkay
Don't drag us into this. I don't care what anyone wants to do with their own body, but don't pretend there are any similarities between using drugs as part of a chosen lifestyle, and being born LGBT and not having the same physical rights as heterosexuals.
What about people born addicted to crack?
Couldn't you say people with addictive personalities are pre-disposed to doing drugs in the same way gay people are pre-disposed to butt lovin?
You say doing drugs is a choice, well with that's the same logic that says being gay is a choice. People choose to do nasty butt stuff.
No. I'm pretty sure >>48320958 was just making a fallacious attempt to piggyback a legitimate human rights movement.
Go back to frying your brain cells.
You gonna address my argument or nahh?
homosexuality isn't a destructive behavior
>inb4 sex addicts
Homosexual behavior can cause you to catch an STD, even when you wear a condom.
Also, some drugs aren't even all that destructive. Drinking in moderation is actually better for than not drinking at all.
I'm pretty sure suicide is destructive behaviour, why should people have the right to kill themselves etc.
also we don't put people in jail for self-harm, let that sink in
so can straight sex bud what the fuck is your reasoning?
You're setting up a horribly flawed argument.
people are involuntarily institutionalized for self-harm, pretty much the same thing
>nasty butt stuff
ugh how fucking juvenile fuck off
pretty much every drug thread degenerates into this shit. shut the fuck up all of you. whether you're sober or sniff coke more power to ya
Gowns - Red State
>Over the counter drugs. Just listen to the first track:
Why are heteros so defensive about their conservative views? Why should we respect their idea of how the world should work?
I'm saying the drug users don't deserve to be discriminated against.
i have to pass a physical exam for prolonging my driver's license
i have scars on my upper left arm from cutting, it's pretty obvious
is there any chance they might have a problem with that, like i'm not fit for driving because of being self-destructive or some similar shitty reasoning?
killing yourself could help
I like getting high and listening to Chrome Sparks, does that count?
I remember taking shrooms last year. Walked around a forest for hours, just experiencing this sense that everything's going to turn out all right. Everything looked like an Ozric Tentacles album cover, so I want to say that. However, I couldn't listen to anything psychedelic during that period, because it just felt redundant. Shit like Pink Floyd, Shpongle, Grateful Dead, all that cliche psychedelic music, that was all about the experience, but it's not for the experience itself. I ended up listening to old 1960s soul. Anything Motown, Stax, Atlantic, that was perfect. Also, a little bit of modal jazz. Maiden Voyage-era Herbie Hancock, stuff like that.
I'd recommend eating the mushrooms at four in the morning, while it's still dark out. It'll kick in around twilight, and the moon just starts to stretch and crack open. I was listening to I Put a Spell on You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, so that was killer. Peaked right at daybreak, with Stevie Wonder's You Haven't Done Nothin'. I couldn't ask for a better first time.
Shrooms and mescaline are pretty much the only 'big' psychedelics I haven't taken yet. I'd love to try either. Have you taken LSD? I have a lot of experience with acid but none of shrooms, I'd like to know how they compare visually / headspace wise
listen to les rallizes denudes or slowdive on weed
mbv on acid
Shrooms are analogue whilst acid is digital. I guess shrooms are more spiritual and belief based in their mentals compared to the thinking and ideas of acid.
I like that you mention listening to very psychedelic music while on psychedelics feels redundant. Sometimes I find that non-psychedelic can create the most interesting psychedelic experiences. For me, that would be doo-wop and baroque music.
'Fraid I haven't. Thinking about it. I know a guy who can get me two tabs and a ripcord Xanax for thirty dollars. It's just a matter of saving the money and finding the time. I have to set aside a whole day, and I can't do that this summer because I'm studying full-time.
I've heard that as far as comparisons go, shrooms are analog and acid is digital. Is there anything to that?
why do you associate NBOMe with floral shoppe?
I would nominate sbtrkt, but thats just cause i got into them when i was on 25i-NBOMe at a park
I can see like, MDMA or mushrooms, but opiates? no way
Also, I don't want to do any psychedelics in the summer because I sweat like a pig when I come down, and I couldn't imagine going through that when it's already hot out.
oxxxxyyyyy ma nigga
Oxy, heroin, hydrocodone, PST, etc: >Spiritualized - lazer guided melodies
Weed dank smoke git dat:
>any cloudrap (inb4 cloudrap is shit, it is excapism at it's finest)
Oh man there's a guy at this party I hang out at a lot that gets drunk every weekend and puts this on the turntable
it's gotten really irritating, like last time he did it he put it on full blast at 3am in a room full of sleeping people. We almost beat him up, turned that shit off and made him go to sleep in the corner
maybe he's depressed.
>All these people doing opiates
Seriously what the hell are you guys doing this aint the 70s it aint even the early 90s get it together you sleepy fucks
>shrooms are analog and acid is digital
This makes no sense to me. I find that though they're pretty similar, shrooms have a bit more of a tendency to suck me up into a head trip, whereas acid ignites something inside me and causes me to have trippy interactions with the world.
as far as facile single word comparisons go, I'd say shrooms are "closed" and acid is "open."
>tfw used to be able to find whatever drug I wanted
>now I can only get ahold of weed and coke
*party house
I wouldn't be surprised, but a room full of tired drunk sleeping people is basically the worst place to cry for help
The dude's got a kid but parties every weekend trying to sleep with 19 year olds and shit, he just needs to get his shit together
I dunno man, I always feel way more personable and connected to everything when I do shrooms, but I've tried acid, so maybe it's even more of that
Seriously. This is an upper economy. Downers should be saved for bull markets when we can spare the productivity.
whatever, at least it's not fucking benzos
depending on where you live and how street smart you are, it shouldn't be too difficult to cold cop.
Just hang out with the licks and the homeless for a day.
I totally get that.
It's hard to reduce either one to a single type of feeling, since both of them somehow make me more personable and more introspective at the same time.
still, IME shrooms lean a little more toward the introverted side than acid.
what is lsd like? what do you "see"?
I don't know what to think about the analogue and digital comparisons. Having not taken shrooms, I guess I can't really comment, but I've always had a problem with the "shrooms are good because they're natural" bandwagon. As dsomething with a good understanding of chemistry, it's all fucking chemicals. The fact that one happens to occur in the natural world doesn't mean shit to me. There isn't some divine agenda that says shrooms were meant for human consumption and LSD wasn't.
That aside, LSD has never really felt that unnatural to me. It feels like a drug, that's as much vas I can say. Most or all psychedelics I've tried I would describe as synthetic feeling. LSD, 25i, and DMT certainly felt extremely 'trippy' and alien to me. aMT is sort of halfway, it's a completely mad-made substance and yet in some ways it feels more 'analogue' to me, which I think says it all.
Try your grandparents' medicine cabinet.
Does nobody do speed in this thread? Modest mouse is way too depressing
The other night I was listening to hardcore on 2cb and then I had a nang when I was peaking.
After the nang the music became very robotic and rigid, if that makes for a good mental image?
But when I was coming down I made the conscious decision to stop listening to hardcore as much because I realized that I'm just sick of being angry and pissed off... I can listen to extortion and harms way and shit and get really angry and think I'm on top of the world... but really I'm just absorbed in my own anger and self-pity.
I'm done with that.
I wouldn't mind some more 2cb though, that shit was great.
I like speed. Best stimulant is mephedrone or MVPD tho
For me, the easiest refutation of the appeal to nature with regards to drugs is pharmahuasca. It's exactly the same as the "natural" version, but without all the nasty vomity side effects.
Try 2c-i, or 2c-t-4. Those are the deeper, more advanced 2cx before the NBOMes
any legal highs in the UK worth doing?
fuck. I quoted you because I meant to respond. look up some trip reports on erowid.org
short answer: colors, fractals, subtle shape-shifting, etc, but it's not really about what you see.
Fuck dude you need to try shrooms
It's less of an "Oh it's so natural it comes from the earth" and more of a "HOLY SHIT EVERYTHING IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND MY LIFE MAKES SENSE AND EVEN THOUGH I FEEL LIKE I'M IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT MOVIES RIGHT NOW AND MY LIFE IS OBJECTIVELY GOING TO SHIT I LOVE EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING AND THINGS WILL TURN OUT ALRIGHT IN THE END"
How the fuck do you guys get speed? Do you mean Adderall?
That's a perfect description of shrooms. How would you describe LSD?
go to your local supermarket and buy a pound of poppy seeds, unwashed.
Look up how to make poppy seed tea.
It'll getcha
oh damn i was thinking about doing this but i didn't know i could just go down the supermarket i thought i'd have to buy them off the internet
If this was a still picture, it'd look kinda like this on LSD.
Ecstacy: Happy Mondays - Pills, Thrills, & Bellyaches
Never done it, been looking for some tabs
might try it this weekend.
alcohol is really the best "legal high"
A different way of thinking
I finally tried heroin a few weeks ago. Holy shit, it really is that damn amazing. Aphex Twin was amazing on it.
My nigga. Mephedrone cured my autism. I bought "molly" and it ended up being mephedrone. I went from being too beta for clubs to dancing with over 10 girls and eventually losing count, getting my dick grinded on like crazy and they were all hot as fuck I couldn't believe it!. I was never beta about grinding again. They never told us about these drug experiences in school.
just make sure they're unwashed. They should say like "100% natural" or "premium quality" or something.
I can't legally tell you what brand to buy or where to buy them from.
i have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol
ahhhh yeah this is shrooms too, except stuff is different colors sometimes too and if you think something kinda looks like a certain style (anime, vintage photographs, bob ross paintings) all of a sudden everything seems like it does.
it's not that it actually looks like that, it just feels like it does
like once I kinda felt like the park I was in looked like middle earth, and all of a sudden I looked down at what I was wearing and it didn't change, but I felt like it was something a hobbit would wear
Holy shit guys, Loveless is amazing, I can't believe I've waited this long. Friday I'm picking up some dope and if not that I'll be getting some Roxy's for my Loveless listen. ohhh I'm getting giddy
aMT is great, unfortunately it's being banned soon.
Nitrous Oxide is the best UK legal drug IMO. If you're one of those people who shrugs it off like "Oh yeah I tried that once it made me lightheaded for 10 seconds" haven't used it properly. Inhaling enough of it will completely dissociate you from reality and give you incredible euphoria. Plus combining nitrous and psychedelics is one of the most wonderful and wacky experiences possible for a human, it has to be felt to be believed.
maybe kratom then.
Me and some of my buddies have been meaning to buy a whole bunch some winter and hibernate through the month of February.
Did shrooms a while ago, and this guy put on this Sensations Fix collection(Music Is Painting in the Air (1974-1977)), and it was fucking fantastic.
There were synths and krauty sounding stuff and everything. Total mushroom jam
oh i did nitrous oxide at a party the other night while on a hefty amount of ket and mdma and it was amazing, like you say i reached complete dissociation from my body and most of all it was fucking hilarious
>putting off listening to loveless
>popping roxys to listen to loveless
what are you some kind of pleb
This is quite accurate, combine that with this and I think it's a pretty damn good approximation of how LSD visuals appear. Of course that's to say nothing of the mental aspect, which really has to be experienced to be understood.
aMT is definately a great drug
what should I take for loveless?
are there still places it's available? i can't find it online.
This shit nig.
That smell tho.
First google result. When it's illegal SR is already stocking it.
this is what LSD did for me
Haha sounds like a good time, funny thing is laughing gas never actually makes me laugh, maybe a handful of times the hundreds of balloons I must have done.
I broke myself on DXM / ket and nitrous
You guys still use SR reliably?
I definitely don't trust them, I use Blue Sky and Agora instead.
I'm going to miss it being so openly available, I'm already started stocking up.
How visual do you find aMT out of interest? What can you compare it to? I find it feels very psychedelic and colour-saturated but doesn't have a lot of geometry going on.
i didn't laugh either but my face formed into this massive grin as everything i could hear started going into slow motion
i spent so much money on it that night, this guy had turned up with about 4 backpacks of canisters
I'm definitely going to start using something again. I stopped using the SR around the end of last summer, thankfully. I need to investigate it some more because I need more drugs.
you see energy flowing within and throughout everything. the longer you hold a stare, the more the image appears to move, but really you are just looking at the same image in many different perspectives. for example, you could stare at the clouds and see the clouds turn to many different images, and when it seems like they have been warped so far from the original, you blink and realize the clouds never really moved (aside from their actual movement which is often very slow to our eyes) and that you just saw them differently. you see the world in everything
so where would you recommend getting this shit if not that link?
go see tame impala live while on mushrooms. you will have your mind fucking blown.
Your description reminds me of this video: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/907731/
Weed, alcohal, psychedelics, cocaine. Literally anything other than opiates
popping roxys is dumb as fuck
The "certain style" thing really rings true. Recently, after having spent months doing a lot of visual art, I took LSD and discovered that people are actually made of paint (like pic related).
I think it has a little bit to do with the pupil dilation actually. It's like a pinhole camera with a larger hole: more vibrant, but less focused. then on top of that your mind takes greater liberty filling in the lost information/details.
dammit, I forgot the pic.
I'm gonna snort em' obviously. I'll also have some weed.
Alcohol (party) - something Kanye
Alcohol (alone and depressed) - Portishead - Dummy
Weed - Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Acid - King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Yeah, I can't stand to get so ripped off as I know I get through a lot so I just bought a dispenser and loads of cannisters on ebay, hell of a lot cheaper, you do get through them fast though.
Holy shit I need some nos now I really hope my last balloon doesn't pop
How is Salvia even being considered? You would have to listen to an EP or something, that shit lasts like 20 - 30 mins...
OK i fucked up. when I said popping roxys I meant doing any kind of roxys in any way
I know a few bros who had to go through rehab after disappearing, it turns out they had been turning tricks in oakland to support their habit
Our next door neighborkid was killed in mexico by drug dealers after he ran away to hide his roxy habit(among other things). They didn't find his body for three months, god knows what they did to him.
I feel like there are some drugs that just arent worth messing with, opiates, amphetamines, crack, etc. Opiates are definitely more artistic, but seriously not worth it. you might be able to try it a few times and quit, but some people just can't. The problem is that everyone thinks they can handle it until they're deep in the shit and then it's too late
I once had a salvia party with some friends, and we took turns tripping and sitting while Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline played.
it was pretty much perfect
I completely agree with you. Fortunately I only use opiates maybe every few months, they're too good to do anymore than that.
Man if he could talk during the thing it must have been some really weak shit
stay careful anon
don't make me kek
Normally I get told that I was walking around saying shit when I have a salvia trip with friends, but I have no recollection of it. It doesn't inhibit speech, it just inhibits your ability to makes sense of sensory information
Salvia is just you and the shit you start seeing. totally lacking in euphoria, you see stuff, but it doesn't change who or what you are.
At least for me
It was pretty fucking great
yeah but usually it's like a woofy muffled unspeech kind of gibberish
he was talking like really well
Salvia actively induces dysphoria which is probably one reason so many people hate it, but it's so fucking nuts I enjoy it anyway. It's a pretty sinister drug though. I normally always get the sensation of entities or people around me when I smoke it and think nothing it
Diphenhydramine (benadryl) - Souvlaki
But only around 300mg, more will cause a scary trip or that's what I hear. It's kinda fun if you don't have anything else, I've done it like 5 times.
I suppose. My favorite part was actually after the trip, gradually re-aquainting myself with a reality that was now quite unfamiliar.
overall, I say just do DMT. People really overstate the amount that it "changes" you.
I can see why that would be pretty fucking great, I love Stars of the Lid, but my only problem with Salvia is that it's so short so there barely is even a point, you peak for about only 3 minutes, i'd rather go to a forest and eat some mushrooms or something
Smoked DMT once now, I found it incredible but slightly terrifying like salvia, mainly because of the intensity of it. I got a big inhale and never have I felt overwhelmed by a drug so quickly. It felt so weird and trippy, it was like having your consciousness suddenly being intercepted by aliens. I did enjoy it, but I might wait a bit before trying it again.
Think is although it's satisfying I tend to prefer very long-lasting psychedelics, enjoying the progression, and I don't think I'd want to do DMT as much as other things.
Yeah, it's definitely intense. Like being fired out of a cannon.
If I had to choose, I'd definitely pick the longer lasting ones, but it's nice to have both.
it seem like it lasts hours though. I remember coming out and thinking I had been in that room for days
maybe you took a small dose
so drugcore or drugscore?
nice one anon
enjoy death you retarded faggot
you too, anon.
it is coming for all of us.
Hehe NBOMes are no more dangerous than other shiz when used responsibly.
Cocaine bump
Cocaine and cigarettes are both movie drugs.
How good they look is disproportionate to how good they make you feel.
I still like both though, don't get me wrong.
oh man truth
though I think with coke, there's a side effect of making coke seem really awesome and that you should do more coke
yeah, it does have a little charm that other stimulants are missing, I admit. like just the right cocktail of euphoria/loosened inhibitions/confidence.
I think I heard once heard someone describe it as "makes you feel like you're Jay-Z."
Still not really worth the extra money over other stims though

Drugstore operator Walgreen
Yesterday's third-quarter results confirmed that Walgreen is still growing briskly and has ample room to blanket the country with new drugstores. Sales continued their consistent upward growth trend, rising a solid 12.5%, and the bottom line was boosted more than 20% by a few one-time benefits.
Pharmacy sales usually account for the bulk of a drugstore's sales, but they carry lower margins since large health plans, such as Motley Fool Inside Value pick UnitedHealth Group
Walgreen's other source of income -- non-prescription revenue, which consists of food, cosmetics, and just about any household item you can think of -- is in its fourth consecutive year posting comps in excess of 5%. Continuing that trend, the company reported front-end comparable sales of 5.6% for the quarter. These sales are quite profitable for drugstores, as consumers are willing to pay a premium for the convenience of heading to a smaller, free-standing store as opposed of having to park and make the hike to a Wal-Mart
If you're familiar with Walgreen, the solid quarter should come as no surprise; the company has posted double-digit sales and earnings growth for decades. Store count recently came in at just less than 5,800, and management plans on operating 7,000 locations by 2010, with 500 scheduled over the span of the current fiscal year.
In other words, Walgreen is among the most consistent retail companies you will find, and investors can expect more of the same for the foreseeable future. Archrival CVS
Drugstores in general should continue to rack up higher sales. In addition to opening new stores, they'll benefit from aging baby boomers, who will increasingly pop pills to stay healthy and active well into their golden years.
For related Foolishness:
Wal-Mart and UnitedHealth are Inside Value recommendations. UnitedHealth is also a Stock Advisor pick.
Fool contributor Ryan Fuhrmann is long shares of Walgreen but has no financial interest in any other company mentioned. Feel free to email him with feedback or to discuss any companies mentioned further. The Fool has an ironclad disclosure policy.

Summary: AU tag to 1.01 – Dean's POV – The next thing I knew, I had an armful of little brother. And that's when I smelled that smell again – that smell of smoke and fire...and blood.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Warnings: I think there's one f-bomb...maybe two. Plus, there's a character death at the end...and not just the usual one associated with the pilot episode.
I woke up wondering what was real – is it what you see and touch, or what you feel? ~ Faith Hill
I've decided to go ahead and write this down.
Maybe if I do, it'll make sense.
It began the night before last.
Frustrated by a case that just wouldn't come together and by information that just didn't make sense, I found myself sitting alone in a dark motel room; alternately staring at an illuminated laptop screen and the various papers spread around me on the small table...but not really seeing any of it.
It was late – already past midnight – and although I was used to the exhaustion and the loneliness and the long hours required by a hunter's life, it all suddenly seemed too much; too heavy to carry by myself.
Especially now that Dad was gone.
I sighed and picked up my phone from the table, checking the messages just to be sure Dad hadn't called.
He hadn't...which was beginning to worry me.
Because while it wasn't unusual for Dad to be away for several days on a solo hunt, it was unusual for him to not at least check in with me.
So that meant...what?
Was Dad in some kind of trouble?
I sighed and glanced back at the laptop and papers scattered on the table, knowing I couldn't concentrate on the case because I was distracted by whatever was going on with Dad...wherever he was.
I leaned forward, my elbows propped on the table, and rubbed my face with both hands; trying to remember anything Dad had said before he had left a few days ago; anything that might could give a clue as to where he was now or what might be going on.
But as I continued to sit there, another person came to mind – Sam.
Because he would know.
My kid brother would know how to process the research and the clues. He would know how to make it make sense. He would know how to manipulate it and explain it and use it to help us solve this case...and maybe find Dad in the process.
But it wasn't just that; it wasn't just the case.
Sam had been gone for almost four years – and I missed him.
I missed him so fucking much.
I missed him more now than I did those first few weeks after he had left for Stanford, and I didn't even think that was possible.
But it was.
I missed my geeky, moody, pain in the ass little brother.
And regardless of what Sam's reaction would be tomorrow, I couldn't wait to see him – even if I was a day late in getting here.
Not that Sam would know I was behind schedule.
Hell, he didn't even know I was here.
I smiled at the thought and glanced back at my phone; wondering if I should call him; if I should tell Sam that I was in California; that I was literally a couple hours away from Palo Alto...or if I should stick with my original plan of just showing up on his doorstep.
It wasn't like I didn't know where Sam lived; I had been by that apartment complex more times than I could count to check on the kid over the past few years. Always out of sight – out of sight, out of mind – but close enough to make sure Sam was okay; and close enough to check out the hot blond chick my little brother was shacking up with.
I chuckled and shook my head.
Ah, Sammy...
But my amusement quickly faded when I considered Sam's reaction to my impromptu visit; to the news of Dad being gone; and to me wanting Sam to come back and help me find him.
I sighed, overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions and possibilities and reality.
Finally at some point, I shut down the laptop, abandoned the scattered papers, and went to bed.
I remember having just closed my eyes when I first sensed it – a single strong whiff of that hard-to-explain smell that comes after a fire has been extinguished; a mix of smoke and ash and loss.
I instantly sat up, more attuned than most to any indication of a fire, and listened intently.
But there was no sound.
And then suddenly there was; light steps and a rattle of the motel doorknob as the lock was picked.
Before I could reach for my knife or even get out of bed, the door opened.
And there he stood.
Even deep in the shadows, even after almost four years, I could tell it was Sam.
He stood there; one hand on the doorknob, the other running through his floppy hair.
I was happy to see him – ecstatic to see him – but the hunter in me was immediately suspicious.
Because how did I know this was really my brother?
I hadn't talked to the kid in years; Sam didn't even know I was on this side of the country; and now he suddenly appears in my motel room doorway in the middle of the night?
I pushed back the sheets and swung my legs over the side of the bed but didn't stand; my hand reaching under my pillow just in case.
"Sam?" I called to him.
Sam looked at me but didn't say anything.
Instead, he looked over his shoulder as if listening to someone else.
But I could neither see nor hear anyone but the two of us.
There was silence.
Sam then came into the room, shutting the door and crossing to sit on the edge of the bed next to me.
My grip reflexively tightened on my knife, still hidden under my pillow; even though I somehow knew this was not a shifter or any other supernatural being.
It was my kid brother.
It was Sam sitting beside me.
But still...
"Sam..." I tried again.
Sam stared at me, his eyes wide and scared. "I need to talk to you."
His voice trembled as he spoke and with the long held instinct of being a big brother, I immediately released my knife and reached for Sam instead; lightly squeezing the back of his neck; just like always...just like there weren't four years of silence and separation between us.
"Sure, Sammy," I told him. "But you know you could've called, right?"
I chuckled, and the corner of Sam's mouth twitched in a smile.
"I know," he agreed. "But I wanted to see you. I had to see you."
I smiled. "It's funny you say that. I was coming to see you later today."
Sam shook his head. "You'll be too late."
I frown. That was a strange thing to say.
"What?" I asked him.
Sam shook his head again.
I decided to let it go. "Anyway...looks like you beat me to the visit first." I paused. "But how did you know I was even here?"
Sam shrugged and smiled a little, blinking against the sudden moisture in his eyes. "Guess I'm a hunter after all."
His answer surprised me and the way he said it – smiling through welling tears – felt like a punch in the stomach.
There came again that smell of smoke and fire, only stronger now; and then something even stronger than that –the coppery tang of blood in the air.
Sensing that Sam was hurt, I reached to turn on the lamp sitting between the beds.
But Sam grabbed my hand and shook his head.
My heart slammed in my chest.
"Sam. What's wrong?"
He said nothing; only continued to smile through his tears.
...which only served to freak me out even more.
Then suddenly, in halting phrases, his story came out; of how the glory of escaping the hunter's life had not been what he had thought it would be; of how college was hard and "normal" was even harder; of how he had missed me; of how he had almost called me every single day for the past four years; of how sorry he was that he never did; of how he hoped I could forgive him.
And then Sam fell strangely silent.
I sat stunned and silent myself and gently squeezed the back of Sam's neck again; unable to find the words to respond but knowing that my kid brother would be soothed by touch; especially to my touch.
And I was right.
The next thing I knew, I had an armful of little brother.
Sam crumpled against me like he did when he was a kid and was upset or scared, and I could feel him trembling beneath my arms as I held him; his tears dampening my shirt as he clung to me.
A little unnerved – and yet strangely at peace – I rubbed Sam's back and then rested my chin on his head; figuring explanations could wait until later.
Because right now, Sam just needed me to be what I always was – his big brother.
So, we sat that way – him against me.
And that's when I smelled that smell again – that smell of smoke and fire...and blood.
"Sam..." I called softly. "Are you hurt?"
He said nothing but tightened his grip around me, burying his face in my chest.
And while I knew I should, but I didn't have the heart to push Sam back to see if he was injured.
Because it felt good to have him here; not only at "home" but here...right here with me.
Finally, Sam's tears stopped; but he didn't pull away from me as I figured he would.
Again I asked him if he was alright.
"Please, Dean," he said quietly, and I heard the lingering tears in his voice. "I just want to stay here for a while. I know it's childish and girly and all those other things you like to tease me about...but just...please?"
I was speechless.
I couldn't remember the last time my little brother had needed me as a sanctuary – and it felt so damn good to be needed again; to be Sam's protector; to be whatever the kid needed me to be.
So, I sat there; feeling Sam's body warm against mine, and the gentle rise and fall of his chest as his breathing steadied.
There were so many things I wanted to ask him, to tell him – but I didn't.
I stayed quiet, realizing what I had always known: words weren't needed between us.
Before the sun began to color the sky outside the motel room window, Sam stirred just a little and then pressed his cheek over my heart.
"I don't want you to get all weird about this..." he said, and this time I heard a faint smile in his voice. "...but I love you, Dean. And I've missed you. And although I'm sorry things turned out the way they did, I still appreciate everything you've ever done for me."
I was again stunned; too overwhelmed with emotion to speak.
Because where was this coming from?
"Sam – "
"I mean it," Sam interrupted and shifted against me. "Thank you."
I swallowed. "You're welcome."
Sam nodded; his head still on my chest. "Promise you'll remember."
I frowned. This all sounded so final.
And I didn't like it.
"Promise me, Dean."
There was a beat of silence.
"I promise," I finally told him – because I'm always making promises to Sam – and then tightened my hold around my brother; still a little confused by the turn of events over the past half hour but thankful that Sam was back; hopeful that I could convince him to stay.
Sam took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.
I looked down at him, and Sam smiled a little before closing his eyes.
But his smile remained – content, safe, at home – and it warmed me; made me feel content, safe, and at home, too.
A few minutes later, I fell asleep.
When I awoke around noon the next day, Sam was gone.
I immediately looked to the bed next to mine, to the small table across the room, to the open bathroom door.
But Sam was just gone.
Slightly panicked, I reached for my phone and was about to dial Sam's number when the phone rang in my hand; Bobby's name flashing on the small illuminated screen.
"Yeah..." I answered distractedly, wondering where the hell Sam went as I crossed to my duffel and began to pull out clothes.
"Have you seen the News?" Bobby asked me, and something in his tone made my heart stutter to a stop.
"No," I told him warily, already reaching for the remote and turning on the television. "Why?"
Bobby didn't answer.
He didn't have to.
By the time I found the local News channel, the story told itself.
A fire at an apartment complex in Palo Alto near the Stanford campus.
The entire complex a complete loss.
Several injured; several more dead.
And then there they were – small photos of the deceased all lined up across the screen.
I shook my head as Sam's smiling face looked back at me. It was a photo I had never seen – probably his student ID – but unmistakably him...bright eyes, dimpled smile, floppy hair; my kid...my little brother...my Sammy.
And beside him, a photo of that blond chick he was living with.
Both gone.
"Dean..." Bobby called over the phone, and I could hear the worry in his voice.
But I didn't answer.
I just kept staring at Sam's face.
"I was coming to see you later today," I had told him last night.
"You'll be too late," Sam had answered.
You'll be too late.
Because Sam had known.
Because it was already too late by then; only I didn't know it yet.
"Dean..." Bobby said again, and I hung up on him.
The next 48 hours passed in a blur.
The news spread like wildfire; people – other hunters...but not Dad – called with their condolences.
Pastor Jim.
Ellen and Jo.
Even some friend of Bobby's named Rufus.
"You're taking this well."
It was a remark I heard more than once...more than twice.
But how could I tell them?
How could I explain the strange peace I felt?
I couldn't.
I couldn't then; I can't now; and I doubt I ever will.
But, like I said earlier, maybe putting this down will help.
I don't know how...but maybe.
Because I know – without a doubt – that through time and space, Sam reached out to me; that in his final moments, my little brother sought his big brother.
I know it.
Sam was as real to me that night as the paper I write this on; as the ink I use; as the tears I've cried.
He was not a ghost or a spirit...or whatever some other hunters would call it.
In his last moments, Sam was here...with me.
And I know what you're thinking – that this is crazy.
"Don't you know your brother is dead?"
Believe me...I know it.
I know Sammy is dead because I held him while he died.

Vedanta Aluminium was recently denied permission to set up a $1.7-billion plan to mine bauxite in the Niyamgiri Hills of Orissa. Located in Kalahandi district of Orissa, these hills are inhabited by the Dongoria, Jharnia and Kutia tribes who participated in a public hearing on April 9, 2012 and opposed the mining of bauxite from their sacred hill. A report in the April 12 issue of Tehelka highlighted thus – 'Tribals said that they have a birthright on the Hills and they won't allow mining to their sacred mountain whatever the repercussion may be.'
And soon enough, the Minister for Environment and Forests, Jairam Ramesh, turned down Vedanta's proposal on the grounds of non-compliance with Forest Right's Act. He further denied being moved by the sentiments of the locals and stated that the decision was utterly based on facts. In the month of June, several newsletters were issued by Vedanta for local residents about its policies for redevelopment of the local zones where their mining plant would be established.
People did not fall prey to Vedanta's numerous efforts that included boasting about its plans of expansion in field of education, health and other perks to local residents. Their constant refusal as well as not succumbing to the aggressive advertising campaign of Vedanta in month of April contributed to the denial of permission. The government had turned down their proposal as this development wasn't sustainable; it also violated the Environmental Protection Act.
One may now very validly ask a question, 'If a certain area is mineral-rich, is it not meant to be extracted?' Fair enough. A mineral-rich area, often classified as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is meant to be extracted as long as the people displaced from that land are given adequate rehabilitation. Not just on paper but in reality as well.
Setting up plants, mining ores in remote villages fills up the conglomerates' coffers and renders the poor, poorer. The ever-widening vacuum of disparity once again becomes visibly important when the locals' land is taken away in lieu of small money with no other land rehabilitation measures. They eventually have no land, no deposits, and no job security. Even the health and educational prospects claimed by the company get buried deep under tender notices and signed deals. It gets worse if the family's head count is appalling or/and the earning member is an alcoholic.
This does not imply that development should be curbed; development is primal to a country's economy. But so are its people. Poverty, unemployment, hunger, still remain as major concerns for the country and require immediate action.
Now consider another case unlike this one. In May 2012, JSW Steel completed paperwork with the West Bengal government for land transfer. This steel plant in Salboni has not only bought land from locals but also provided them with jobs and shareholding in the company, minimizing disparity and maximizing security for every family. So, even if the family is left with no money, they have shareholding and an earning member whose job will suffice the family.
To conclude, development is indeed important but so are people who belong to the country. And as are those who choose their representatives with the belief that this disparity will be diminished. Recently, Mani Shankar Aiyar in a panel discussion, very rightly articulated, "Development is important, so is justice and inequality. But development with dignity is the solution to all problems."

Hello + welcome
Thank you for trusting Letterform Creative with your design needs! The first step in ensuring that this process goes smoothly is for you to read through this page. I know that hiring a designer is a big, and sometimes scary, investment. To make it easier, I've outlined what you should expect, what I need from you, and have answered some questions you may have.
Getting Started
A few important things
- All communication and files will be sent via Honeybook. You can simply reply via email to anything I send you. I use Honeybook because it makes it easier to locate information. Instead of wading through email threads, everything will be conveniently stored in one location.
- I will send you a timeline for each phase of the project. This will include dates that your feedback is due. It's important that we stick to the initial timeline as closely as possible.
- Don't worry if you don't immediately love your first design options. That's what the refinement rounds are for, but most of the time clients are really excited about their first options.
- I will send your invoice via Honeybook and you will be able to pay with a credit or debit card.
- You will pay a 50% non-refundable deposit by the start date of your project. If you are booking in advance, you'll pay 25% as a non-refundable deposit to secure your spot in my schedule, and 25% by the start date.
- The remaining 50% is due upon completion of the project in order to receive your final files.
- Branding: 4-5 weeks
- Web Design: 4-5 weeks
- Branding + Web Design: 8-9 weeks
These timeframes are provided in ranges because each project moves at a slightly different pace due to how quickly I receive your feedback and how many rounds of refinements are necessary.
The Step-By-Step Process
1) Research Phase
- Sign the contract and pay your deposit.
- Read through this welcome page.
- Receive the questionnaire and timeline for your project.
- Complete the questionnaire online.
- Send me any of the necessary items outlined below.
- Review what I've added to the Pinterest board and add your comments/pins.
- Schedule a call to discuss the questionnaire + Pinterest board.
- Receive the mood board + brand strategy.
- Send me your feedback.
2) Design
- Receive the initial design options.
- Send feedback + receive second draft of design options.
- Send feedback + receive third draft if necessary.
- Receive the additional brand elements with two rounds of refinements if needed.
3) Launch
- For web projects, I will make your site live.
- Schedule a Skype SquareSpace tutorial (web projects only).
- Pay the remainder of your invoice.
- Receive your brand guidelines and final files.
- Answer a wrap-up questionnaire.
- Share your new brand and website with the world.
What I Need from You
All of the following items are needed by the start date of your project if possible. If you need more time to complete these let me know in advance.
Branding Clients
- Your completed questionnaire.
- Add me to your branding Pinterest board.
Web Design Clients
- Your completed questionnaire.
- Squarespace login - Set up your Squarespace account here. Choose any template (it doesn't matter which one). Click "Start with..." whichever template you've chosen. Create your account. Then send me your login info.
- Copy for your about page - If you haven't already written copy, now's the time. I recommend including info about your business and about yourself. See mine for an example. Once you have this written please send it to me.
- Your headshot - This will go on your about page.
- Product or portfolio photos - This is necessary if you're a product-based business, a photographer, or another type of creative business.
- Other photos - If you have other photos you want on your site send them to me. Don't worry if not. I have many resources where I can find beautiful, free stock photos.
- Blog posts - If you have some written send them over. Once again, if not, don't worry. You can always add these yourself when you're ready. I will show you how.
- Domain - Tell me your preferred domain, and a second, and third choice (if your first isn't available). If you're transferring a domain from somewhere else, please send me the login info for your host.
- New email - If you want an email associated with your domain, let me know what you would you like it to be. It will be an additional $5/month through Squarespace. The last part of the email will be determined by your domain. For example, some of my options were firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, etc.
- Forms - If you have forms that you would like embedded on your site (i.e. Jotform), please send me the login for those. It's not possible to embed all forms (Yapsody for example), but I will provide other options if needed. We can also create basic forms directly in Squarespace.
- Services, packages, + prices - If you're a service-based business send me this info. For product-based businesses, send me product info and prices. This information will go on your services page or your shop.
Phew! I know that's a lot, which is why I like to have you start on this as soon as possible. Providing this ahead of time will make the rest of the process go much more smoothly.
Let the real fun begin
Providing Feedback
After you receive your design options from me it's important to take some time to think it over before providing feedback. The following questions will guide you and enable you to provide the most useful feedback.
- Is your gut consistently drawn towards one direction? Ask yourself this same question over the next few days.
- Which option best represents your brand voice?
- Which option has an overall tone that is inline with your target market and what they're attracted to?
You're welcome to provide your feedback via email, phone call, or video chat. Choose whichever method you're most comfortable with and will allow you to provide feedback the most clearly. If you choose to provide it by phone or Skype you can schedule a time here. If my availability doesn't line up with your feedback deadline, just shoot me an email and I will open up a time for you.
A few other things
- What if I don't like the end result?
I've never had a client who didn't love their final branding and website. This is due to the research phase that puts me on the right track from the get-go, as well as the multiple rounds of refinements we will go through. It's so important to me that every one of my clients is happy with the end product. Rest assured that I will do whatever it takes to get you to that point!
- What if I can't meet a deadline?
Don't worry. I know that life happens and there may be an instance when you can't get me your feedback on time. If you know in advance you won't make a deadline, let me know and I will adjust the timeline.
- When will I receive my final files?
You will receive all of your files once you've paid the remainder of your invoice. This is not due until we've completed the design phase of your project. I will send you a reminder that the remainder of your invoice is due if you have not paid it already.
- Am I allowed to make changes to my website?
Yes! You'll obviously need to update things like your blog, portfolio, and/or shop regulary. As far as the rest of your website goes, you've paid me to design it professionally, so I don't recommend making changes to it, but it's your website and you're free to do so if you want. Once you're project is wrapped up, I'm no longer responsible to fix any errors that occur as a result of changes you've made. I add custom CSS to all of the websites I design and I highly recommend that you don't touch that.
Professional copywriting and photography can really help to enhance your branding and website. Below are some copywriters and photographers that I recommend.
- Copy Refresh (blog content, website copy, and email newsletters for female entrepreneurs)
- Glitz & Grammar (copywriting & blogging for fashion, beauty, bridal, & luxury lifestyle businesses)
- Social Strategy Co. (brand photography for clients anywhere)
- Meghan Klein (brand photography + headshots for clients in Seattle)
- Sophia Jordan Photography (brand photography + headshots for clients in Southern California)
That's all
Thank you for taking the time to read through this! Let me know if you have any questions. I'm excited to kick off your project!
Contact Info + Office Hours
Office hours – M-F, 9-5 PST
I will respond to all client emails within 48 hours. The only exception to this is when I'm out of town, in which case I'll give you a heads up.

By Brynn Myers
She is the fated one I have been waiting for…
The crimson in her veins will restore me…
* * *
My desire for her burns like no other…
I must possess her…
Dare to touch her and you will be the one to suffer…
* * *
Nola Blair is a free-spirited photographer sent to cover the party of the century in Elizabeth Bathory's ruined castle. It was an assignment she'd declined––twice, but when she was offered a hefty sum to indulge the wealthy eccentric, she finally gave in. Little did she know that the guests at this party were centuries old and their desires reached far beyond those of a normal partygoer.
One captivating night will change her life and the two vampires vying for her will fight to the death to get what they want. One wants her to be his and the other wants her blood.
Who will decide Nola's fate?
Captivated by Crimson is about a girl being in the wrong place at the wrong time and then thrown into a world that she never knew existed.
This book for me had a solid base and a different take on vampires but it lacked in character development. I liked Nola and Andrik for the lead characters but there where so many characters that had their own story lines that their relationship that was being built got lost. And characters were continuing to be added late in the story and they also had their own story lines. With the different story lines that were going on, I didn't feel the passion between Nola and Andrik.
Erzsebet and Paul were great evil vampires bent on destroying and getting revenge. They were easy to hate.
Nola's sister, Quinn, and best friend, Arianna made the story fun and brought lighter moments.
Overall Captivated by Crimson had action and mystery. It was well paced until the last 10% of the book. Then it lost energy. The major part of the story ended around 90%.

ONLY poems listed here or in the current printed anthology are eligible for the 2018-2019 competition.
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake, ...
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,...
"Light! more light! the shadows deepen,
And my life is ebbing low,
Throw the windows widely open:...
My head, my heart, mine Eyes, my life, nay more,
My joy, my Magazine of earthly store,
If two be one, as surely thou and I, ...
Life, like a marble block, is given to all,
A blank, inchoate mass of years and days,
Whence one with ardent chisel swift essays...
Escape me?
God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;...
Like heart-loving brothers we meet,
And still the loud thunders of strife,
The blaze of fraternity kindles most sweet,...
I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts ...
I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet ...

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
On April 18, nine fashion design students participated in the school fashion show titled, "The Art of Fashion."
"We've been developing the concept for the fashion show since November," senior Breck Sunlin said. "We started the actual construction of the garments in January."
The fashion show was held in the auditorium, where a white catwalk was laid across the stage for the models to strut down. Each designer created their own collection and had it worn by fellow students. Sunlin was the third designer to have her clothing walk down the runway.
"My collection was called 'Motel California,'" Sunlin said. "It's mainly velvet, fake leather and satin, with a rich, dark color scheme. I was inspired by the aesthetic of late summer nights and the music of The Killers."
Sunlin's collection was an array of navy blues and sunset reds. Many of the outfits contained leather elements that tied the alternative vibe together. While Sunlin's garments were inspired by modern music and aesthetics, senior Zac Young claimed his looks were influenced by the past.
"My collection was called 'War & Peace'," Young said. "I was inspired by 20th century military jackets, sweaters and pants."
Young had the largest collection of the night with a total of 24 garments, which made 11 outfits. Each outfit was accompanied by either a large handmade coat or pullover sweater. Young plans on taking the experiences he has gained from this show into his future.
"I've gained a lot of experience in garment construction and collection development," Young said. "These were two things I had wanted to learn about in high school so I would be ahead of my peers in college when I major in fashion design."
Senior Janelle Hammonds is also taking her training and knowledge from the fashion show into her near future.
"I'm actually going to Los Angeles in October to attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), where I'll be majoring in Visual Communication," Hammonds said. "I want to end up having a career as a costume designer and stylist for movies and TV productions."
Unlike the others, Hammonds' collection was inspired by a color rather than a specific aesthetic. All of her garments were solid black and tailored in various ways to make each one unique.
"My collection was titled 'LBD etc.'," Hammonds said. "I created five little black dresses, which is the typical garment associated with the title LBD, and then a romper and a dress with an overlay. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to make each garment different than ones already out there."
Although the fashion show is over, Hammonds believes that the lessons she learned while working towards it will last a lifetime.
"I learned that creating something beautiful takes time, effort and patience," Hammonds said. "I also learned that trial and error may not be the quickest way to learn, but when you finally do something right, it will stick with you forever."
