I'm a Redneck

Migrated topic.

SpearFisher

Rising Star
I'm a young guy. I've lived in the North and South. I've been rich and poor. I've moved around a lot and IMO have gotten a fairly well rounded view of people, but at heart I'm a redneck. I love to fish, especially spear fishing. I shoot guns, go muddin, love sports, and wear Guy Harvey.

I know this is a community where preconceived notions and stereotypes are shoot down (and rightfully so). That being said, I've noticed country folk are not very well represented in the phsyconaut community. I think I could add some much needed southern flair to this site and give a unique perspective in the right places.

As far as my drug use goes, well I've done nearly every drug to excess with the exception of cocaine, heroine, and meth. I've done RC's, pills, mushrooms, and LSD. My first trip was 3 hits of acid. That first trip made me realize what a dick I had been for no reason and changed my life. Since then Ive been obsessed with this culture, or whatever you want to call it.

I have never done DMT or ayahuasca and may never do them. I haven't decided if I will. I'm using this site as a research tool to aid me in this choice. I may not have the proper respect of DMT (yet) to try it. But that doesn't mean I don't have some interesting post worthy things to say.

Overall I'm just humbled a site like this exists. It has so much positive energy and is filled with so many brilliant people. I can't believe they let a joker like me on this site. :)
 
Sounds great man, we all come from diffrent corners of the world. And you are welcome : ) You will indeed learn alot from this site, maybe its for you maybe not. Thats your choice for sure. But im guessing you are very curious hehe
 
Thanks zombicyckdl! I wasn't expecting that quick of a reply. This is the first forum I have ever joined and so I'm really in for an experience here I think. And you hit the nail right on the head, I am extremely curious. Hopefully I will feel ready to try DMT someday, but if not at least I'm gaining knowledge on an interesting subject.
 
Howdy there SpearFisher,

Welcome aboard,

I sure hope you consider trying out DMT. I personally tried a wide variety of psychedelics before I came to DMT. I took LSD and mushrooms for more than ten years before tying DMT for the first time. Now I have been using it for around 7 years ... both vaporized and in oral/Ayahusca brew.

In my most humble opinion there is no other psycho active substance on this planet that can rival the tranformative power of DMT..especially in the form of ayahuasca made with caapi...for me Ayahuasca provided what I had always been looking for. It's more than psychedelic it's truly paranormal IMO.

:d
-E
 
Howdy! I'm defiantly considering it :) I'm nervous certain things like my chemistry skills, my state of mind right now, and the actual trip to be honest. I also think I need more experience under my belt before I try it. Besides all of that I'm a poor college kid still and don't have the means to really make ayahuasca or DMT. But that's ok because if they day comes when I do try it, it will be all that much better because I waited. :)
 
Im the same, it was like 3 years ago I started reading about dmt. and never really felt a rush towards doing it, very soon maybe. There is really no need for rushing anything in life I have learned. gotta take time and build a solid foundation, and when you are or if you will do it. you got time to take it step by step :) have a good one
 
Yeah I guess you would call it culture, much like the comfortable one of your own. only ours is solely based on the relationship with plants and psychedelics. I kind of like the way we talk with kindred saturated blessings :roll: and this site as part parcel to real enlightenment era, you know like the one in the 1800's everyone was reading science was prolifically picking up speed and people were just getting used to it all then. This 'movement' if you'd call it seems less to do with the whole of all things, but focuses more on the individual's freewill or lack there of, and I think it's interesting looking back to see how it all plays back. You're good ol' boy mannerisms are totally welcome here. We are not quite who or what you think (we?) are. Here watch this 5 minute movie about Terence Mckenna incase you haven't seen him. Remember to not use your name, don't refer to yourself when making Teks

Hey Thanks for joining up. We need the diversity

Nice to have you here...

I would say that "rednecks" are a relatively under-represented group in the psychonaut community. There are probably a number of reasons for this, as this has traditionally been the bastion of "elitist" intellectuals and hippie freaks. LSD entered popular culture through the 2 channels of Dr. Timothy Leary and his Millbrook crowd of professor types... and on the other coast by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters who birthed the San Francisco / Grateful Dead scene with their Acid Tests.

Thus, those two groups had a healthy head start with this stuff.

That said, The Grateful Dead and groups like The Allman Brothers did a lot to introduce this culture to southern, countrified heads... and, some of the most diehard psychonauts I know are proud, died in the wool "rednecks." (in the Jeff Foxworthy sense) Plus, some of the freakiest Jam Fests in the country are held in the Deep South (Think Bonaroo).

At any rate, I think you will find the info you are looking for here... and there is a lot to be said for researching and waiting until you are ready. No one is ever truly ready for DMT, but anyone who has taken a lot of Acid and Shrooms will at least be familiar with certain aspects of the experience.

I look forward to your contributions to our community. It can be a challenging place at times, and we all don't see eye to eye on a lot of stuff... but you will be hard pressed to find a more intelligent and cosmic bunch of yahoos anywhere else on the net.

Be well and make yourself comfortable...

Hi, SpearFisher! Thanks for your introduction, I liked it.

Pardon my question, I don´t mean to sound rude or anything, but... is it really possible to remain a "Redneck" after taking loads of Mushrooms, or like 3 hits of acid? Actually, is being a "Redneck" about one´s origin, or about one´s way of life (or about one´s own self-identity)?

Just to explain: I am not an American, so I don´t understand all the nuances and distinctions about being / not being a Redneck... Sorry if this post sounds indecent, it wasn´t my intention.
 
Im not from the south per say, but I am from up north....country life all the way. So your certainly not alone in that aspect. :) This community is absolutely like nothing else. You'll be pleased after spending some time around here. A true treasure trove of valuable information and humble, like-minded folk.

You already have a platform it seems to understand a 'psychedelic' experience in general, but trust me when I say (and as others have already said).....you can not prepare for this. Sure you can take into account set n' setting, but that's a narrow scope in the face of an experience like dmt...especially if you get a solid dose of it. I've always said that most other psychedelics 'point' you to something strange, something unbelievable going on behind the scenes....but dmt puts you right in that mystery. Right..smack dab in the middle of it.

That's why all this is here.. to help you get to that point comfortably and smoothly. :thumb_up: Between the people and the information, you have a huge community bent on helping you achieve something spectacular..something beyond your wildest of imagination. :twisted:

to many, it carries a negative connotation, a social slur with stereotypes associated with it. would be like me posting a title
'I am a wetback.'
 
Ha! What Stereotypes? People so afraid of the way another person dresses, talks as if the person can be determined by what car they drive. I mean 'hippy freaks' are cool because their human-ness and freedom of outspoken virtues of their emphatic qualities as a human being and their awareness of the relationship planet they live on they live wild, passionate chaotic and free. you can see them dance on old antidrug propaganda films while you toke with your friends watching them in full throttle LSD protest/revelry dancing under spells of blissful rythmic spasms. Catholics were afraid of Pagans many were perhaps your ancestors as plenty I'm sure were mine- if not than I'll raise the standard of my heritage myself

Not to mention psychedelic rednecks, why I think pinkfloyd and country could get along- Boy has music gone down the drain! Spearfisher if you want to know what I think- music! Music is why this generation needs psychedelic drugs, because we have all secretly convinced ourselves that we're at the tip of the iceburg as for music flexibility. DMT is here for us NOW to see the vision that bad music has stolen away from us. You ever just hear a GREAT song and you feel you've heard it too late? and it comes like a visually apprehensive message, or one those songs that put you into the dark corner of the composers view as if through your own eyes or certain bands like pinkfloyd, the doors, FULL of IMAGERY -that just leads you through a place you never thought your own thoughts could inhabit?

Friedrich nietzsche said without Music life would be pointless

all the BEST poets before than smoked hashish, opium or drink absinthe until later musical revolutions on Grand scales came and stole it's fire, where oration (words) became more symbolic and praised. the stage Music has ambivalently played it's role in EVERY GOOD about the 60's ebbed with that same vision in the holiest lime light of the past two millennia since the baptism of Jesus! Once discocame out music more and more segragated it's self into too many genres without a single culture to thrive off one in particular, Just when our beloved notion 'medicine' took it's wing soon crossing a thin fine white line into the business sphere of drugs and power and public fear and beurea controll. The nineties was all about music leading our way aplomb in the new world. Now I think DMT has magically fallen into our hands to give us that radical chemical/spiritual push from the profane nihilist corporate rooted bottomless pit of the ash trayed universe and into a world stripped from it's mass historical perspective (visionary-idealistic-sensate) gearshift gestalt settings. Like a map laid out all too promisingly, this new age brought us the super psychedelic DMT. And like psychedelics music and it were meant to be one. Although we like to make art about psychedelics or music after it. As an artist, poet and sometimes musician I learned it's best to take them when making art and just because you can learn the instrument a thousand times faster but, because your emotions are pronounced while under it's spell and therefor any art than and there is real your art imitates life imitating art. It's so surprising how we live in such an age of occupational fetishism when life was meant to be Art it's self, wild passionate chaotic and free.

Great!

I could belong among PIGS then, I guess.

First off, thanks everyone for all the replies! No need to be sorry haha. To me the word redneck means someone who enjoys doing things outside, appreciates the value of a good work ethic, lives a country kind of lifestyle, has a down to earth view of things, and appreciates their roots. If anything, taking acid made me more of a redneck. It stripped away the nonsense in my life. It made me realize that the things I appreciate are nature, being humble, and working hard. It made me accept who I was a person and what happened in my life to make me who I am today. And that all goes back to appreciating your roots.

The Grateful Dead is basically LSD fueled redneck music...(bluegrass) MAny of their songs are about trucks,rural country, and poker...somehow this relates back perfectly to tripping in a metaphorical sense

LSD and country living actually compliment eachother rather well IMO...

Rednecks does not necessarily mean "biggot" or "narrow minded"..Sometimes it just means a chill country dude.

Benzyme I can definitely see where your coming from. Redneck means different things to different people. For example if I said someone was a redneck in southern Indiana, people would think I was talking about someone who made meth and was a member of the KKK. It would be very negative. Hell I'd be lying if I said I didn't put that title for a little shock value haha. But too me the word redneck is a positive thing. It all just depends on your definition and perception.

That was exactly what came to mind when I read it... thinking, oh boy...

anyway, welcome to the nexus. Take your time with aya or dmt, there is no rush, and no need. It's a great experience, but your life will be just as complete without it :)

I hope you don't go spear fishing anywhere near me... I like my fish alive!

cheers
 
Ah, the old 'redneck discussion'...

There are some values that differ, depending on the place you live. There are also values that are universal.

Those are the ones that matter.
In my experience, when it comes to those core values (don´t steal, don´t kill, don´t use violence against others unless you are forced to, etc), all people basically agree, regardless of where they´re coming from or whether they´re inuit, city dwellers or beerbrewing monks.

So welcome, spearfisher.
