So I was asked by someone I know here if I wanted to go volunteer and bring aide to people in need. I was nervous because there are no airports up there you have to take a car or motorbike or bus. But the storm was bad and it was a struggle to get there. I headed up to Lào Cai which is at the tip and on the border of China. There is a cool border town with lots of things going on, lots of food stalls, bars, illegal wildlife, drugs, girls, etc you name.. So we finally get up there and it was a disaster with no power and everything was flooded.I went with about 100 people and I knew 2 of them the others just people wanted to help. I was the only foreigner and they were all very cool and appreciated a foreigner that wanted to help out. So on the way up the guy I went with told me about his family that live in the area and how they are into Psychedelics and they grow them and use them for personal use , not to sell. He also told me that his uncle is a Shaman and I was very curious to meet him. He said well I am in luck because we are going to go to his house that night when we finished. So we went to his house and the Shaman was there with 8 of his friends along with me and the guy I went with. They are an ethnic minority and they don't speak the same Vietnamese that we do here in Ha Noi. I was not able to communicate with them fully , they don't speak much Vietnamese. He was motioning me to drink something and he also had.a pipe. My friend went for the pipe and started to smoke it, I was like what the hell is it? i was not in my comfort zone, couldn't get to any hotels, had to sleep on the floor with others... Then the Shamon asked me if I wanted to leave and go into nature with some of his friends for a few days. I said ya but what is the plan? He said to my friend to get in touch with our selves. He had Vietnamese grown and Cambodian Grown Mushrooms with high potent Psilocybin, he had LSD and the real deal opium. I said I will not do some of this stuff but some I will. Those who went with the Shaman could not use or take any electronics , so I went deep , the furthest I have ever been with a group of people, slept outside in tents, took 3 heroic doses of shrooms, and some acid but refused the opium. I have never been out of my mind like that on those two drugs. The tea was mixed with veitnamese grown kratom mixed with some sort stimulant , it was a hard thing to get my head around, still not sure what it was but it put me in a different universe. I feel 100% fine now but it took a toll on me. We did get stopped by the police by a checkpoint and they found a bunch of LSD and shrooms. I had an amazing few days. I have never experienced an environment like this in my life but it was amazing. I was out of my mind literally.
