I must sample their handles for videogame character names.
Bit like asking where all the beer drinkers are! People who are into psychedelics come from all walks of life and we're everywhere :) Start talking about fringe stuff with people and eventually you'll stumble upon others.
If your bubble has people in it who have access to psychedelics, then great. If one's people doesn't have that, "just talk to people" is profoundly unhelpful. That's a very odd and specific conversation to bring up within some circles.
You’re opening yourself up to blackmail by hundreds of different parties.
It is blatantly irresponsible to host such communities on Discord. Possession and use are federal felonies.
Most of the world is not so paranoid. Particularly psychedelic users who don't see the substances as a problem.
Go hang out on TripSit IRC. Go to music shows that draw that sort of crowd, like Phish and Co or EDM shows.
Check out any of the psychedelics subreddits.
Some cities have public psychedelics meetups. This was huge in the Denver/Boulder area of Colorado.
There are lots of places if you try looking a little.
2: people don't really care that much
3: It's so easy to protect your identity
4: you can talk about things without incriminating yourself
I have been trying to use Discord anonymously for a long time. Antispam and anti-logging are high priorities of theirs, and they invest significant resources into ensuring you can’t easily make disposable accounts.
Not only is it not “so easy”, it’s not easy at all - it’s extremely difficult and becoming moreso all of the time.
Also, paranoia has a definition - can we please stop colloquially using it to mean “anxiety”? Paranoia means delusions.
Obviously certain exhibitions are more likely to have connections to this crowd. Favor those shows.
