Hey Hubski, missed you guys, according to the number on my profile I have been here for 4 years... I am late to the Pub, long day in the lab :D Well, Ill go get a beer. Psychedelic research group I finally decided to take a risk and start a group/club at my university that deals with psychedelic science, politics, and harm reduction. I have been active in "the scene" for the past 2 years going to conferences like Breaking Convention or Beyond Psychedelics and providing basic drug testing at Midburn (the Israeli regional burning man event). I also became a member of MIND Foundation a group of academics that wants to push psychedelic research in Germany and wrote my first blog post about a study explaining how LSD binds to the 5-HT-2A receptor. Last week we had our second meeting and we are in total 7 people now. We had a surprise visit from a well-known professor at uni. I was shocked and excited at once. He was very constructive, wants to help us out and is in general a psychedelics nerd (and a big fan of Sasha Shulgin). Looking forward to our next meeting when the semester starts again :) I am sick of fuck buddies I never thought I would say this but I have enough. For the past 4-5 years I have been "single". Yeah, not in a committed relationship, a third wheel in a poly relationship or just having sex. It was all nice and good but for a long time I had the feeling that I am missing something. I miss being in a relationship. I miss being close to someone, waking up next to someone, imagining a future with someone. For some reason I keep ending up in short-term things that last a few months in summer, meet women that I lose interest in after a few weeks or fall in love with girls that are in relationships (the flavour of this year). Sometimes I catch myself thinking that I might have to stay alone and that I need to be fine with that, in case it happens. But why? Everyone around me is getting married. having children, building lives... I figured that I need to distract myself from this dig deep into my thesis, do loads of sports. Oh, time to grab another beer...
Thank you blush I was busy dealing with some things. Maybe I should have dealt with them with Hubski instead of away from it. What is your opinion on Hermann Hesse? I have been going through his books recently and find them very interesting. Specially Steppenwolf...
