A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
The author recounts their personal journey of experimenting with two dozen different psychedelic substances during their youth in Moscow, where many psychedelics were technically legal due to Russia's limited drug scheduling at the time. The article describes ordering substances from questionable websites under the guise of "research chemicals," exploring various psychedelic experiences, and reflecting on the motivations behind this extensive experimentation. The narrative serves as a personal reflection on youthful curiosity, risk-taking, and the search for meaning through altered states of consciousness.
Key quotes
· 5 pulledRussian drug laws were almost as draconian as today, but the official list of verboten chemicals was a couple hundred of chemicals, mostly not psychedelics. Most existing psychedelics weren't scheduled — and thus 100% legal.
So I'd order them from slightly sketchy websites pretending to sell 'Research Chemicals'
There are a few hundred psychedelics. When I was 15 years younger, I wanted to try them all — or at least as many as possible.
I ended up trying two dozen. Not the great success I was hoping for.
Please send me your virtual hugs and drugs.
