Okay yes I did a lot of LSD and it was a blast... Didn't get addicted to that or mushrooms. But, there was a time about 7 years ago I tried it again and it wasn't a blast. In fact, it was one of the worst trips I've ever had. This drug is one that is dependent on your mood. It amplifies it. So if you are depressed, then you become extremely depressed. If you are happy, then you become extremely happy. What I do know from experience, is the smallest thing can take your wonderful trip into a physical nightmare. So my advice is to do it with someone that has a lot of experience. They know how to talk you down if you go into a bad trip.
It's the only drug that taught me anything. The only one worth taking. But you should take it only when young with a strong heart, and spread at least a few weeks between trips so you can absorb what you learned about the levels of your subconscious mind. For a smart person it's fascinating.
You nailed it!!!! That's what I loved so much about this drug. It was like there was me in reality, and my other me in the other reality. What fascinated me the most about the drug was understanding just how powerful your mind is. And you get to question "reality". And if you take it, make sure you have a lot of fruit, popsicles, and candy. The taste buds are heightened.
Honestly, I've never tried any drug except weed, and that was only a few times 10+ years ago. Though, if you want to 'trip' on something, research DMT!
Harvard researchers were studying it (including Timothy Leary) until the government made it illegal in about 1968. There was plenty published until then. I used to have Leary's textbook. People bought these things. So to answer your question, find those academic treatises and read them. Research has been illegal since then. Sometime I'll give you guys a rundown on my theory of higher dimensions. I wrote a couple thousand pages on my ideas from my 3 trips. I was a physics/philosophy major back then and I solved some age-old problems like the mind-body problem.
lsd is good clean fun. the visual hallucinations are a blast, although its very rare to have full on "giant gumby chasing me through the ocean" type trips. usually its kinda like when you see someone spinning a glow stick around, you can see the "trail" of everything moving. and stuff can get a little liquid and melty. i once took some dirty acid and threw up this really REALLY thick brown bile acid vomit on my shirt, and couldnt work my way around actually taking my shirt off, i knew i should, just never got around to it (i know it doesnt make sense lol) havent done it for years, and IMO...its a drug for high school and college kids, once you have things to worry about like rent/children/etc...you can just get engulfed in thinking about all the worries in your life and have a really bad trip, like an anxiety attack on steroids the worst part about it is coming down, depending on the variety, which can last FOR HOURS. they only way ive found to really describe the feeling is "paper gears", they are moving but not really doing anything, you just feel worthless and beaten. 2CB was my favorite psychedelic though, like acid, but more control, less potential for panic, and you come down like a snap of the fingers
I did a double shot of absinthe and it didn't do much for me. Is the third the charm? I mean, I'm pretty sure thinking Oscar Wilde was wise would have been a noticeable change.
What is the mind-body problem. 37. Just curious. Remember, I grew up during Just Say No. Are you rich?
If you grew up in the Eugene Springfield area you grew up in the most liberal drug using place in the USA.
