Here is your thread. I have done a fair amount, seen many wonderful things. Acid, shrooms mainly, but a few other hallucinogens also. But, eventually I had a bad trip, and once that happened, I was over it. It's been 15 years or so since I've dosed. Glad I had my experiences, but never more.
Sorry, my stories in this area aren't really meant for a forum. A beer, friends, and the distant coming of closing time are when these stories are told. Besides, you're too young and innocent.
I've never really understood why someone would want to consume these types of things. So I guess my question is, what made you want to try acid?
Being a kid, wanting to experiment, being influenced by the music, movies, and art that glorified that stuff... ...used to love all that shit in high school... also got drug tested for the essentials back then, but you couldn't test for psychedelics, so... I remember being pretty open and vocal about it on the forum back in the day, but a few bad experiences, a change of environment, and well, just growing up, I haven't had any desire to use any psychedelic, not even pot, in several years. Grew out of it I guess... BTW - I'd like to, in general, advise against it if you've never done it though. I don't know how it was back when a lot of ya'll were kids, but a lot of the stuff going around these days isn't pure LSD but rather knockoffs like 2ci that can really mess with you. I also don't know how strong it was back in the day, but if you think you'll be seeing pink elephants all over the place and shit like in the movies, you're mistaken. You'll get visuals, but it's also a largely mental drug, and if you've got any mental baggage you've been carrying around, it can easily all come flooding into your brain out of nowhere, and it's hard to stop a negative train of thought once it starts.
Big deal. I saw my mother and felt sad that at that age (20), I was arguing with her too much. 5% of the trip is sad, 5% happy, and 90% intellectually mood-neutral. In the 90%, you have many creative insights into your interests. The 10-hour trip is exciting, so if you're fat and 40, it might give you a heart attack. I'm having to guess, since all LSD research is illegal in our country of freedom.
It's the best thing. Energy, feeling like you are blasting off and yes you do see God if you do enough. The strongest trip I've ever done was 20 hits. The scariest and most rewarding trip ever.
Like I really want to do something illegal and possibly ruin my career if I ever got caught with it. Sounds like a smart idea. Potential cases of psychosis sounds fun too.
I know, that's why I think you should have tried it, 5 years ago maybe, before your career, while you still had the opportunities to experience certain parts of life, like drugs. Obviously I'm not judging you for not doing them, it's just my opinion on the matter
It's also why I am in no hurry to find a career, or "grow up" as some people call it. I only have one life and I want to enjoy it as much as I can, having the freedom to try things like acid and not be too worried about my life going to shit because of it for as long as I can before I move on to the next part of my life. I consider myself very fortunate to live here with all of the privileges I have, and I want to take advantage of the opportunities.
