if this is the place I think they’ve made it a bit easier to find and work out what is going on (click on EN and at least some of the site should appear in English). It does appear to have gone a bit more “upmarket” since the 1990s

Westergasfabriek

A while back Robbie4Ever reviewed a trance event in what used to be a “electricity transformer workshop” which (I think) is this place

Transformatorhuis | Westergasfabriek

directions in English are here

  what’s the forum its URL links to now like?

It’s an archive of the old forum which is nice to see but there’s some fairly recent posts as well. Seems pretty dead though.

Yeah would have thought they sold the old “herbal highs” dunno if they got into the “legal RC highs”. Ah those were the days, herbal high stall ‘speed’ at a festival. Made you shit orange and fell asleep after double dosing. Quality stuff.

They sold spice (regular, gold and diamond) before its was common knowlage there was synthetic cannabinoids in it, pills that had bzp in them (all pre ban of course) salvia, ethobotnicals and the regular herbal shit that doesnt do much or has weird side effects. It was all about the smoking blends and when meph came along that was discussed extensively (it was never sold directly on the site.) Theyre still a good headshop for general weed stuff though. Stuff did get organised via pm and the most of the mods were dodgy as hell, but mostly friendly community. Not too dissimilar topics from here (maybe less music related ones) but far more trolling. Good times. Sad to see it gone.

I too am a lapsed Catholic (from my fathers side of the family. But Even Buddhism can still have those control structures. coincidentally I was reading up on the history of the chap behind the goose paradise in the Netherlands (who actually looks genuinely buzzed up in the films he has made, I reckon he was a raver and turned to first looking after nature then buddhism as he grew older), and he is heavily featured in the Dutch blog about Buddhism.

But as well as some praise for saving all those animals, others appear to be judging him as to whether he had the qualifications(?) to hold the title rinpoche, and whether his retreats were a money making exercise (even if they were, he doesn’t appear to have many worldly posessions other than his cabin (which is full of cats and dogs he also rescues) a 4×4 (complete with amber lightbars and VOGELAMBULANCE (bird ambulance) markings) and a trailer that he uses to rescue geese from muddy fields near aerodromes), and it must cost a few Euros to feed that lot.

But there was some big argument between some old chaps below one of his articles, I couldn’t follow all of it closely as I find theological discussions hard enough to folow in English let alone Dutch, but it looked more like the moaning you would find below the line on a conservative newspaper like De Telegraaf.

Anyway I think someone who can conduct a TV interview whilst holding a live goose and also rescued 10 bullmastiff pups that someone had dumped out in a box on a rubbish tip and brings them up to live in peace with cats, kittens, peacocks, ducks and chickens (and also manages to shift this entire zoo 50km West at short notice) damn well deserves the title of rinpoche…

While I realise all religion has some sort of control, some of the buddhist concepts (anatta or “non-self” basically understanding the ego) really hit home with me. Rinpoche translates to “precious one” and I certainly think that man sounds like he deserves that title too. I’m not sure I believe in reincarnation but if he has dedicated his life to saving animals (and teaching his faith) surely that makes him even more worthy of the title.

[eye.]

I used to be a catholic (in fact I still wear my confirmation cross) psychoactives of all kinds have made me see through all the man made bullshit of Christianity. It’s all about control not faith with that religion. As far as I know, the majority of people have the same experience (as I’ve read in endless trip reports.) If psychedelics have pushed me toward any religion it’s Buddhism. I believe we are the creators of our reality not some mythical deity. As long as your happy in yourself that’s all that matters at the end of the day but to me it sounds like you have a latent mental disorder that psychoactive use exacerbated and your right in staying away from them. If religion helps you deal with that then great.

Thank you for the support people, really appreciate it.

For those of you getting aggressive about a choice I have made in MY life, I feel empathy for you and hope you can find a way around these troubling thoughts that you have.

I believe everyone has a different meaning and answer to life, and mine is this, yours is something else.

I’ve decided ill stay on the forum, just won’t be so active, and a ban from the drugs section 🙂

That’s all well and good mate but saying taking DMT is like making a deal with the devil is bound to get peoples back up. The third eye is exactly that, an eye. It perceives things the other two don’t. It’s not anything to do with evil or the devil. I’m happy to let people have whatever opinion they want but it’s my opinion that whatever trip caused this “revelation” has made you deluded and you need to address the issue before it gets more ingrained into your mind.

[eye.]

If you have a bad trip on any of the classic psychedelics (acid, dmt, shrooms and mescaline) then you did something wrong. Your mind needs to be in the right place, the setting needs to be relaxed, take a sensible dose and don’t do psychs all the time. As for the uncommon “RC” psychedelics, either stop doing them or do better research and be more careful.

[eye.]

A load of mash up people in a glass house sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

[eye.]

As for the attacks I have thinking something’s wrong with me physically (whether I’m alone or not.) I’ve had to resort to benzos. It feels like the pussy way out but IDGAF.

giving up drinking, drugs and having mental health issues is hard sometimes.

Don’t think I have left the house in a week.

I feel you man. I’ve been struggling extreme panic attacks recently and become a recluse. I forced myself to go out and deal with the panic I felt being around people and it’s really helped.

So many great tunes in this thread.
