Have you taken LSD?

If you have to take LSD to function your brain is fucked up.

Dosed about 50x in my life. over 80 on X, in one fucking crazy year.. lol. Shrooms maybe 10 times.

Havn't touched the shit for over 10 years. It can and will fuck you up for life. Thankfully I stopped when I did, some of friends are permanently idiots from the shit.

Good luck bros!
 
Yeah, more times than I wish I did.

It's a shame how often it can turn out to be LSA, though - especially in the days of yore before shit like Silk Road, etc.

The actual LSD trips were great but regardless, being that openly exposed to your own inner-dialogue, emotions, etc and the way that drugs like LSD can literally force you to directly confront those things is way too much for some people and likely the reason I haven't had much desire to touch the stuff in ~4-5 years.

After a few hundreds doses of various substances I can say I've never really had a "bad trip" and definitely have never come close to freaking out bar one night we decided to play capture the flag while tripping balls on shrooms in the middle of the woods, at night. The handful of times I'd dosed while alone and had nothing much else to do but deep introspection/reflection were pretty exhausting though.
 
This thread has made me smile. :)

To be honest OP, I don't think acid is 'the one' for treating mental issues. (In fact if that's a motivating factor, that's a red flag imo..) Boosting creativity on the other hand!! Acid is a strange one and definitely stays with you, to an extent.. I have one loose acquaintance who did it quite often and he's never fully come down, sees trails and stuff.

I've only done it a handful of times personally and doubt I will again: The first time (and only time I did it without other stuff actually) was a half-dose blotter and it didn't do that much aside from make me feel a bit drunk/stoned/weird. The other times I've done it has been in a festival or free-party ("rave") environment and it's always been a mind-bending experience. Fun though ;)

I'm not discounting the therapeutic value of some psychedelic experiences (and I would include in that MDMA/Ket/2Cs etc.) I would say I've honestly had some pretty real and helpful insights. Gimpsmack is right though, it's only so 'profound' and I've encountered the 'omg' stereotype he's talking about sadly, lol..

I reckon drugs in moderation are fine for the majority of people, but they do take something out of you. Too much of a good thing and that. For example, do too much acid and you risk turning into a hippy, do too much coke and you risk turning into an amoral degenerative rat fiend cunt and so on. ;)

My advice:

- Don't do it if you're second guessing yourself or unsure. (Since you've ordered it in advance this probably doesn't apply.)
- Go with the flow. Don't overanalyse or try to rationalise the experience.
- Do it with some chilled, close friends.
- Do it in a nice, but not overstimulating, environment.

Oh, and have fun :) Do bare in mind it lasts quite a long time, maybe 8-10ish hours?

Fatbat, I'm not toking at the moment, but 10/10 would blaze.

Joe, I did 2CB once.. I saw the music. Very strange! RE the shrooms - it's prime picking season right now. I keep meaning to go for a countryside walk as I've not done them for years (since you could buy them legally in Camden) and something about foraging for a psychedelic experience seems pretty appealing..


Question: Have any of you ever tried DMT??

Stays with you for life, doesn't it? Maybe this is wrong, but I was always told the air force will test you, and can tell if you've ever taken LSD. They will deny you if you have, because they don't want the chance of you having a flashback in mid-air with a fully armed F-16.

That may be true for pilots but I have a few friends that joined the air force, one of which I watched drink half a vile of acid. He does intelligence now.

thats a myth... lsd is hard and expensive to test for and unless your going in for a drug test tripping on acid they wont catch it. by the time you started feeling the effects its already metabolized and on its way out. plus the doses are micrograms... gl testing that.
 
I've only tried in Amsterdam, years back when they still had the guilder as currency. Next to the greenhouse cafe there use to be a place that sold psychedelic truffles. The truffles came in a box and they kept it refrigerated. Long story short, you were only suppose to eat half but I had the whole since I was on vaca. That night I saw the "grid" of life that surrounds us. And everyone that walked through the grid would morph it with there energy. It was one of the best mind expanding experiences. Good luck bro, make sure your mind is in a good place BEFORE you start.

(place on the left but they don't sell them anymore cause tourists started acting full tard)

RE mental issues, yeah, I agree, although it depends how severe. Everyone has problems with their family, as well as other problems, although if you're one to read Erowid, know yourself, and are truly ready for those things to come to the surface and to deal with them, then I wouldn't necessarily strike it off the list, although if you do feel like therapy could be beneficial, then I'd do that first. I would recommend doing a solo trip wandering through the countryside, since it sounds like you haven't (although not necessarily for the OP, I think solo trips would be a better idea after you've already tried it previously).

Yeah, I was walking the dog the other day and that thought about shrooms occurred to me. I need to get looking. You've sold me on 2CB!

Yeah, I think nowadays, LSA shouldn't be a problem. The main thing is stuff like DOB, but the blotters are far bigger, if you know how big tabs should be, they're pretty hard to confuse.

The bad trip thing does actually remind me of one thing where I was getting a bit frustrated on my last trip - stuck in woods, 10 minutes walk from my house, after I'd decided it'd be quicker to stray from the footpath, walk through the undergrowth, and climb over some barbed wire fences. I wouldn't say it was awful though, I did find some nice spots, met some horses, and eventually arrived home 3 hours later.

I don't know about their testing, but I think flashbacks are typically overstated, and not something where you see a pink elephant in the middle of the road while driving. It's very head based, the visuals is more a case of things looking more beautiful. The only real flashbacks I've heard of (and experienced) are the standard type, of being reminded of it slightly, comparing the view to then, etc. (Excluding people who've done in excess of 5 tabs at once/thumbprints, although even then, I've heard of many many positive experiences - chance for a negative experience then depends on your past experience with it though)
 
lmao you do know all this advice is going to go straight out the window after his trip begins to kick in?

I've taken Acid / Mushrooms more times than i can remember. It's a very life changing experience the first time you do it, just dont *over* do it as it can be quite the brain fuck if you start doing it every weekend.

I'd also go for a full tab. If you want the proper experience, at least 1 tab is essential.

We used to put the tab in our eyes. Stupid, but we were young and it certainly made that shit kick in fast!.


Avoid people. If you can, take it in the country side. Nature + Trip = Good Time.

Yeah but when you're inexperienced the difference between an LSA tab and LSD tab are pretty hard to pick up on. I was taught that if the tab doesn't fit inside the dimensions of a dime it's definitely not LSD but I'm not really sure how much that holds up in reality. I was really young when I was doing most of this shit (was an asshole) so I was pretty likely to just pop it under my tongue if you handed me something resembling blotter paper.

The game of "capture the flag" quickly devolved into a free-for-all of "scare the fuck out of eachother". The combination of adrenaline/nerves a game like that brings on in the pitch-black woods + 5 grams of mushrooms would probably make it tough for anyone to fight off some pretty relentless giggling :tongue2:

Fuck me, I wish there were some "LSD Avengers" doing product/vendor testing all those years ago! Kids these days have it so easy.

Can't agree with the sentiment in here about Marijuana + LSD/Psychedelics. It was pretty standard for us to be smoking pretty heavily during trips to "enhance" them or whatever, did seem to work and definitely helped make the first 45-90 minutes go by quickly. Can't say it ever put me over the edge, if anything it was an easy way to ground yourself if you felt like you were going a little too far down the rabbit hole.

The worst thing I can concretely say using psychedelics did to my life was that it encouraged a retarded smoking habit (cigarettes, not weed) that took me years to drop. Haven't touched a cigarette in something like 3 years though so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

All of the OG adult guys seem like real badasses. The rest of us are just fucking scrubs.
 
I took acid maybe 10-15 times in high school. Don't regret it one bit. I think it opened my eyes to a lot. I remember the last time my buddies and I took it. One buddy started asking if he was dead. Kind of ruined the rest of the trip for everyone. My one buddy laid in the corner in the fetal position continually asking for his mom. That was it for me.

Lol, thanks.

I have done, seen, been involved in A LOT of crazy shit.
 
Few times back in the day. I remember one day having so much clarity and just brain power to tackle anything, that I remember saying to myself and others around. "This is such a mental advantage, it's not even fair."

Good times. Take it at a beach if you can.
