At GHIBIFAN..

Ok.. so you are into name calling.. and like to degrade others.. I was only speaking of my OWN exp. in Tokyo.. they are not illegal because of people like me.. I have a high tolerance.. and I know that I do.. but that is neather here or there.. the point is.. people need to know their limits.. and not go crazy.. and OD.. like the Japanese singer did when I was there in the summer 2000-2004… and I know for a fact.. that you can still get them over in Japan.. it is on the down low.. so you don’t know what your talking about.

You prob.. have never been to shibuya..

Again.. thanks for calling me names.. it really shows how inteligent you are.. try debating.. not hating…

You know why they’re now illegal in most of Europe and elsewhere (including Japan) now? Because of people like you. People who just assume they’re another weed, ecstasy or alcohol to get off your face with. They’re not. They are a very helpful tool, and one that is denied to people now because of the small few who don’t research dose and ‘set & setting’ (previous mindset and environment in which you should take them, which isn’t down town bloody Tokyo or wherever you were).

I’m glad you never got into trouble with your employers, but I think you’re an idiot.

I can tell you that I know the Mushroom man personally in Shibuya, Tokyo..in the summer of 2000-2001.. I can still remember the look on his face when I bought two bags from him 10,000 yen later and ate both bags right there.. he was horrified.. I was like.. I don’t think that these will work.. chugging them down with my chu hi.. and mt dew..

The trip was on.. I was seeing things.. that no one would believe.. it was fun.. I did not freak out.. I was bummed when they said that they closed shop because of some famous Japanese singer died after ingesting too much..

Let me just say.. I would do it again in a heart beat..

I was in an army high school in Japan in 1978 for one semester, and there ware a number of us army brats trying to sniff out anything we could get to get a buzz.
The big thing was ephedrine. There was a mild barbituate called Optilodaon which you could get from a pharmacy. Some kids had taken very large doses out of total stupidity and ODed. This had caused a lot of anti drug madness in the military base high schools. Of course, this only made more kids more curiouse.
I managed to get a little pot and hash, and dexadine and codeine and mornimg glory seeds, but realy, the big thing was booze. We could go to any bar and they would serve us (I was 16.) One bar seemed to specialize in Army brats. It was easy to shoplift the stuff, too. We drank ourselves into oblivion regularly.
I did get my hands on a big bottle of green abscence and drank some, though I have no idea what was in it, and experianced no special effects exept some extra mellowness which could have been placebo. The kids on the base knew zero about French poets and thought that abscence had opium in it. There was a story that two heavy drinkers had polished off a bottle and gone into a coma.
I pinpoint my semester in Japan as the year I crossed the line into physical alcohlism.
Good times, good times.

Ahh the memories.. lived in Japan from 97-2000 on Jet. Walked around Shibuya on the orientation nights and saw a person selling 2cb and musshies on the first night. Didn’t believe it cause I though drugs were a bit of a nono. Went to an outdoor psytrance party in gifu (Strong sun moon festival) with Juno Reactor and there were about 5000 people there and loads of people selling musshies and then found out they were legit-well kind of and contacts for parties and mushies in Tokyo. Found Conscious dreams in Okubo with big displays of Hawaian, Spanish and mexican musshies (Hawians were deft the strongest). Bought shit loads-they also had all the 2ct series drugs plus Mescaline and AMT. Even had the discount card-buy 5 get 1 free haha. Found loads of good parties-Yokohama bay hall, Warehouse Odaiba and an amazing hippie drug culture that I thought didnt exist in Japan. It was fantatic.Went to parties about 1 a month in Tokyo-wickedly good parties… anyway the more we went to parties the more we met different people and the better the drugs got.Loads of MDMA-Israellis will sell this-ask any of them and you can score and loads of acid-very good quality-from the crystal. Loads of parties-outdoor ones, man what a culture I didnt have a clue that existed, had such a blast for a bout 3 years. Its a shame its all gone now but Im sure there is still a wicked culture there

lived in tokyo from 98 to 99. bought shrooms a few times from the guy who always seemed to be selling them on the street in shibuya. they were pretty weak though. did them once with a friend visiting from boston and we went to tokyo disneyland. what a mistake. waiting in line for the damned space mountain for TWO HOURS while high was clearly an amateur move. one time though my classmates and i found a guy dealing the real deal shrooms (he said they were from mexico) in a record store in kichijoji. now those bad-boys were fun, we ate them in a beautiful cemetery and walked to shinjuku-gyoen. i recall thinking that i was inside of a j.d. salinger novel. it was a great trip, my friends and i all got blasted and we were in more or less natural surroundings so the stimuli was at a minimum…..i had heard that there was a guy in my dorm (i was a junior abroad student from the states) who got accosted by a cop for j-walking late at night in roppongi. the cops took his i.d. then searched him. i heard he had a bag of just a little “shake” (remnants of weed) on him. he ended up getting kicked out of the dorm AND doing a month in prison. getting shipped back to the states like that has got to be embarrassing – so be careful! the authorities, while sometimes acting as arbitrary enforcers of the law, do not f— around regarding illegal narcotics. and the justice system is not even as remotely tilted in the defendant’s direction as western countries….though after i left japan a lot of the kids in my dorm got heavy into ecstasy and blow so shows you what i know.

came to Japan 2000…did lots of mushrooms…had no problems whatsoever other than having to repaper my closet doors after coloring them with a red whiteboard marker to make the handles look like they were bleeding and having to wash the light over the kitchen sink because I had colored the entire thing red…great times, if you could handle yr drugs you had no problems…dumbass actors trying to fly ruined it for everyone…wish i could get some now…

I lived in Japan 9 years ago, living in Nagoya for a little over a year. The times I did find any type of drugs (legal or not), it just seemed to be a scary experience. I was at a friend\’s apartment the first time I smoked some pot. Her friend came through the door and started stuffing towels around all doors and windows. He told us that if anyone even smelled it in the building, we are all going to jail. Yeah, pass the \”j\” after saying that…now I am really ready to get high. Other times or most times were in clubs, where ex was flying around like flies in a barnyard. Friends and I traveled to a music festival east of Tokyo way up in the mountains. There was so much acid it made my mind melt and got to the point of becoming not so fun. Of course, I have to say that festival still has immeasurable memories and some from the drugs that were eaten and smoked. That was the only time, I really felt free and unafraid of my surroundings. Just writing this, makes my heart hurt. Nothing will ever replace those memories (a swirling brain or just calm and sober); even the ones that were erased by the acid on the mountain are treasured!
