Hi All, anyone have much experience with these sorts of PH Testers? Link: PH Tester

Do they stay calibrated for long and are they reliable?
I've never used one of those.

The ones I get from the pet store for fish tanks works perfectly, for me at least.

Don't waste your time on cheap junk. Those constantly need calibration and are usually off.

I'm using https://www.futurama.co.za/hm-digital-ph80-ph-meter/ and it works very well, was still calibrated out the box. Make sure you get calibration solution and also that you get electrode storage solution. Improper care for the PH pen will just make it die faster.

I wanted to experience psychedelics but it must be as natural as possible, so LSD is not an option.
I think the whole scenario with me believing it is fake added to my fear of experiencing a bad trip or something.

I was ready at first, had my wife prepare to trip sit me. Prepared a room with nice flowers etc.

When I can get all of this in place again I will give it a try!

I find LSD far more fun and light hearted compared to shrooms.

My buddy got his order for Trichoma. R3000 worth of high level and Top Shelf. I didn't try much but I did try the Chocolope. Man it tastes amazing. Spicy, almost like bitter chocolate. Also a great high :)

The LSD from their top shelf selection is some of the best bud I've ever had. Consistently gave me deja vu.

I've only ever had bad experiences with LSD, that is the type of trip i cant handle!

My earliest memory (about 10-12 years ago) of LSD was in Randburg, waiting for a bud at a petrol station around the corner from what used to be called "Natural Groove", we sitting there in the car, 2 grams of KAT, a couple J's and each had 2 stamps of "Red Heart" acid (back then, we'd keep them our phone covers, between the battery and the clip on cover) so my buds car pulls up with a policeman driving, and him sitting passenger and a cop van behind him, they come up to us, tell us to get out the car, and start searching the car...

Instinct kicked in, and i threw the tiny envelopes of kat out the window before they looked at us, and i got out the car, and put my hands on the roof of the car, while the cop searched me, he takes my phone out my pocket, and tells me to open the back cover take the battery out and put it on the bonnet of the car, i do this, but with 1 movement, i let the 2 stamps fall into the palm of my hand (1 by the way was for my bud that brought the cops, and the other was for me, for when we get to the club), and while they not looking i put them both on my tongue, and i start chewing on them.....

So after searching, all they really found was 2 joints, and a CD case that probably had 0.5grams of Kat on it if you scraped it off with a blade, and a rolled up R10, so they knew what was up, but, we weren't who they were looking for, they thought my bud was waiting for his dealer, and that they would score a big win/case or whatever.

Needless to say, they let us off with a warning, and some **** stains.

But then, that is when the "FUN" began, about 20mins in, we weren't even at the club yet, those 2 stamps started really kicking in, started with my heart, felt like it was was beating in my entire body, then the mother of all trips happened, i was fully aware of everything, but i couldn't distinguish what was real, and what was hallucinations.

I tried everything to come back down, tried smoking a blunt, locked myself in the car without noise or anything, but then i started seeing what looked like a wolf, coming towards the car, turned out to be a dog or a cat or something, kept hearing sirens in my head.

Sometime around 3-4am i started coming down from that trip, a lot happened between getting to the club and coming down, that still seems very vivid, yet liquid, (if that makes any sense?) i remember seeing something that looked like snakes crawling up the wall of the club, (apparently i was staring at the wall for some time) I also remember some people looking like they had horns or something...

To this day, i will never take any LSD or chemical type, mind altering drug.

Geebus, so you used to get high on weed, KAT and LSD all in one day?

I never used anything else than weed(only started smoking around 25)...if I exclude the times at school where we used to sniff the shyt out of petrol and lighter gas :p

Dagga makes my life!

How I travel from Jhb to Cape Town via airline with product?

Ive been flying domestically, every month just about for the last 12 years, and have always carried my personal smoke with me. 1 - 5g mostly, and even about 20g internationally.

Domestically you can just about keep it in your pocket, they do not search, nor check for drugs. Only guns and explosives.

Just wrap it up, hide the smell, and stick it at the bottom of your bag.. no problem. The scare factor seems out of proportion to the reality on this topic.

Yeah, this was in my much younger days, i always was a pot-head, so i would always really prefer a blunt over anything, especially alcohol.

But now and then i'd try out other stuff, and then i hit my clubbing days, that was a crazy time, when you younger, you tend to try out as much as you can, and i guess "find yourself", so we'd basically try everything (with the exception of shooting up and crack, i have never and will never play with the dragon) at least once.

Even after all this, i've always only preferred a joint or a bong hit, as i got older, i realized you cant keep up with the younger crowd, and you certainly cant keep up with the **** they put in the drugs these days....

And you can never go wrong with some good ol fashioned blunt!

@Joka69 I feel your set and setting would have given me a bad trip if i just smoked a joint :ROFL:
If you think this would happen when your in you own home feeling safe from the start then your just not made for it and there's nothing wrong with that at all, but don't go blame and shame the LSD because you took it in a bad setting. I understand the circumstances, i would have probably done the same and also not have had a enjoyable trip but i would blame my choice in the mindset and setting not the LSD itself.

"Oh man did i have a bad trip last week, the cops completely ****ed up my vibe"


LSD is like a sports cars, anybody can drive them but only a handful know how to respect them enough to take them to there fullest capabilities.

No dude, you got me all wrong. That was 1 of the ****ed up trips i experienced on LSD, and explained how it happened.

I always only took 1/2 a stamp, and then another 1/2 a couple hours later, what i spoke about there, was when i had to take 2 stamps to get rid of the acid so the coppers wouldn't find it on me.

Every other time, (about 2 or 3 different occasions after and before) different environments, once was at cool house party, tequila and flaming Lamborghinis were the drinks of choice, it was just a fun party, (i wasn't really much of a drinker) so i decided after hitting some good weed, that i'd try out this "Red Heart" acid for the 1st time, started with 1/2, and i was either over thinking it, or wasn't bothered with it, then took the other 1/2 some couple minutes later, again, i just didnt enjoy the trip at all, from what i recall, it just wasn't me, i just wasn't enjoying my self.

Like it caused different feelings, and different reactions to things, my face felt tingly, i took a drag from a cigarette, and its like i could feel the smoke travel down my throat to my lungs, everything just felt too intense, i think i wiped my nose for some reason, then i had this permanent feeling that something was on my nose, and just kept wiping and wiping, until my nose was blood read, and even felt raw.

For the life of me, even after the bad experiences, im not sure why i tried it a couple more times afterwards.... We tend to do stupid things when we young.

I'm glad you mention this as I have a gram of it chilling on my desk. I haven't touched it yet but you've just inspired me :D

Same here. The first time I took shrooms was pretty awesome but also pretty intense. I did it once since then and had a scary spooky trip. So once excellent trip and 1 dodgy trip. Acid on the other hand is way more manageable and awesome if done in the right way or right environment.

F**k I hate that feeling. I get it when stoned, or the feeling of eye gunk in my eye.
Yeah, I know what you mean, I get paranoid that my eyes are bloodshot red, and you get that feeling that the skin around your eyes are on fire, but yet, when you look in the mirror, your eyes are completely white or maybe just slightly red...

It's the worst! Because then you think when you talking to people, you start feeling like they staring at your eyes or something.

I wouldn't worry about that any more. When it was illegal sure, but now I feel more sorry for the people I'm taking to who aren't stoned xDD

Stupid question of the day - but how the dickens do you identify someone who is selling? I've hung out with various dudes who smoked who'd say oh you can always get on that corner or in that shop ... but as said corner and shop was next door to where I was working at the time (city center Cape Town) I was in and out all the time and never saw anyone I'd peg as selling, never was offered anything to buy. Never ever once been offered something to buy ever anywhere despite (for various legit reasons) being in some dodgyish places.

I've been tempted to try some just because I never have but do not have a clue where/how to find someone to buy some.

I mean is there a code. Do you just shuffle up to someone and ask? I know, stupid right.
