Wait til they hear about MDMA
If only MDMA did not restrict vascular flow
That, and it's often cut and pressed with other stimulants, like amphetamines.
The trick was to get hard before you peak, or get some little blue pills to stack with.
Although, if you're already hypertensive, probably not a good idea to mix them - or take either of those in general.
But all of this is based on my rather hazy recollection of people I was around quite a long time ago, so take it all with a grain of salt.
Wouldn't the salt just raise you're blood pressure more ?
The little orange ones (Tadalafil) are so much better than heart destroying blues.
Lower doses.
It's fun watching science verify what people have known for centuries
Can't wait til they prove that stepping on cracks does indeed break your momma's back through quantum entanglement.
Out of all the drugs that I’ve been on while having sex, I was surprised to find that mushrooms/acid was the best.
But can they make you want to save the marriage in the first place?
I'm giving it a 50/50 based on my sample size of two. I sure felt like I wanted to make things work more but spouse still marched right for divorce so 🤷♀️

I can't have sex on acid, maybe it's the doses I'm taking but that much sensory input is generally too much.
Magic mushrooms are not acid.
"Magic mushrooms, LSD and other psychedelic drugs increase sexual function and may be able to save struggling marriages, a study from Imperial College London suggests."

Not surprised at all. And I have a friend who told me MDMA was a game-changer for his marriage.
If your marriage is failing because of sex then you have bigger issues
Acid sex is best sex.
Gotta burn those warts off first?
I don't even understand what this is supposed to be? A joke? A stereotype? What exactly were you trying to go for here?
Acid burns things. They were using acid as the other meaning. It was a joke about how theskyisfalling has an std.
I didn't really know they used acid to burn warts off. So I guess that's why I was confused
If you can't fix your marriage normally, just drink/take drugs so you're too smashed to worry about whether you actually like your partner!
Solid advice.
In related news, if you're unfulfilled in your current relationship, just cheat/spend time with others to fill the gaps! Problem solved.
Don't you think this is an unfair way of framing this? There are plenty of people who may value their relationship who this could help. It's no different than taking anti-depressants or other meds that can help improve their quality of life.

tell me you've never taken psychedelics without telling me
Lol. If your relationship has improved significantly becsuse you've taken some short term acting drugs then it either wasn't a problem in the first place or you're lying to yourself.
Are people here not in relationships? You must have intense fantasies to think long term issues can be solved by short term solutions.
That's the thing, psychedelics may be short term acting drugs but the experiences they allow can have lasting, profound effects on our perception of the world. You can't make generalization on all drugs, they're all so different, that's nonsensical. I highly recommends you read "How to Change Your Mind" by Michael Pollan, that's a great introduction to the subject.

Acid will not solve your relationship problems but it will make you more vulnerable with each other and it will force you to confront any feelings you've been hiding from them or yourself. It's the extra kick in the ass you sometimes need to get things rolling
Exactly. I’ve had some of my most emotionally vulnerable conversations with my wife during and post trip. It helps you look at your life in a different lenses and really question your current ego and perceptions.
I don't totally disagree with the sentiment of what you're saying, but it's worth giving a cursory glance at psychedelic research before you totally write it off. One of the things that's been documented is an increased ability to access compassion for yourself and others. Another suggests that psilocybin could help reform maladaptive neural pathways.
It's not like "ingest a substance and your problems will go away," it's more like "this is one tool that could be helpful in some specific ways." Psychedelics are legitimately different from other substances and I think it's worth reading about with a hair less cynicism. It's potentially very useful medicine.

Sometimes a bandage helps to stop the bleeding.
Sometimes bandages are left on too long and wounds fester.
Bandages can be useful sometimes, but care must still be taken.

Stay in school kids! If you're lucky, you'll be too sheltered to be as impotently enraged as this poor bastard.
I think they may be enraged because they're too sheltered, never done psychs and thus do not understand this article or therapy involving psychedelics at all (which they are currently researching because it shows promise, of course.)
