anyone else done it

[theDEEPdish]

Last friday night i tried acid for the first time and holy fuckin shit did it blow me away, I think it was the most fun i've ever had just wondering if anyone else has ever done it and im sure some have, also any advice if i shouldn't be putting shit like this in my body

[Warpe]

Um...I'm a grandfather so I can't possibly have done any of that stuff...in the past decade or two anyway.

It's relatively harmless in its pure form (like you could tell if it wasn't) but some people do not react to it well every time and freak out.

Best advice: stay away from it.

Second best advice: just remember that you are the one in control of it, it is never in control of you unless you let it. It's a mind game. Uptight people with issues should never ever take it.

Ahhh...enjoying the California Sunshine...in Montreal...whoopsie...almost had a flashback there.

[Al4As]

Most underrated drug imo.

[Galapogos]

The only thing I can throw at you is be wary of this stuff as it is very powerful. It actually changes the physical state of your brain. You also have to be careful not to do more than you can handle or it will really fuck you up. A buddy of mine did a quad for his first time and it truly fucked him up. It took 10 years for him to become 90% normal again.

Also, if you do it too many times certain effects become permanent. A lot of people experience seeing trails for the rest of their life.

Basically dude, this is a super fun drug but it is crazy. There's a reason it's only kids doing it. Adults have at some point seen the really bad side of it. Just do shrooms if you need a drug like this. The might not be as powerful but they don't carry the same risk.

Or be a man and drink for your kicks. No more of this pansy-ass drug shit.

Flashbacks usually occur in people who use hallucinogens chronically or have an underlying personality problem;

There are many informative links here:
http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd.shtml
If you really want to feel informed read everything here.

If you use it recreationally you should be fine. As the article says, it's not physically addicting. I've seen studies say it's not mentally addicting, but I had a couple friends that had a mental addiction.

Galapagos's friend probably had a hit laced with something else, especially if it was a gel or tablet. LSD does not permanently alter the brain. The only drug I'm aware of that does that is DXM which is in cough medicine. It is very powerful, with the effective dosage being ~100ug, where Psilocybin takes ~100mg (1,000 times more).

The actual medical affects are really sketchy because the government banned all study on the drug in the 70s when they made it illegal (they were afraid the communists could use it for mind control).

Jesus, no.

Somewhat unrelated, but a friend of mine who had mental issues within his family and with himself, did shrooms, ended up freaking the fuck out, driving his jeep into some bleachers at a little league field in town. The kid he was doing it with proceeded to call his parents, worried that they'd file some kind of charges against him, or call the cops on him, HE was freaking out then...

On the way home, he jumped out his window and broke his shoulder.

Its fun,untill u have a bad trip.Then the fun is over.
If u don't have much experience with drugs i suggest u stick to shrooms.
I have experience,and LSD is a drug that can really fuck u up.U also will have the chance for flashbacks for the rest of ur life.

[STIdrivr]

My advise is stick to weed, but LSD isnt that bad for you unless you have mental problems. And I wouldnt do it if you are having a bad day or you girlfriend broke up with you or something. And stay away from Crack!

[samsonite2100]

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over the age of, say, 25. By that point you've done too many fucked up things and had too many fucked up things done to you to enjoy it with the clean slate you need. I think it can be really great developmentally for younger people, as it encourages you to think in shades of grey, not black and white. As has already been stated, not for people with any inclination toward mental health issues.

[thenonsequitur]

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone over the age of, say, 25.

I agree with this statement. The age "25" is not really important itself. It's different from person to person, but the idea is that I'd not recommend this class of psychadelicss to anyone that isn't "young", or rather not to anyone that is "too old". This isn't to say it's necessarily a bad idea; some individuals are capable of it. It's just that I wouldn't recommend it, and most are not.

And definitely not to anyone that isn't extremely stable, generally happy, well-grounded in reality, and understanding and respectful of the power of these drugs. They must be approached with the right attitude.

While I've had a few bad trips on shrooms, I've been lucky enough to only experience good onces on acid. That was 3 years ago though. The loss of some naivity, increase in concern for my health, and general increase in negative thoughts about the world since then (i.e. a natural maturity in the understanding of world politics/dynamics) has made it likely that that if I took acid now I'd have a bad trip. And the fact that I believe this makes it definitively impossible for me to have a good trip on acid (ah, suggestibility).

And also because I've already tripped a few times in the past, I would benefit from it much less now than I did my first few times. There are extensive diminishing returns in the lessons gleaned from psychadelic of the tryptamine variety (e.g. psilocybin, LSD, mescaline, DMT, etc...). My mind has already been opened and I've seen, understood, and experienced some amazing things. And I've learned a lot. More would be as incredible as always, but not as generally helpful to expanding my understanding of consciousness, thought, experience as a concept, and humanity.

Also, to those people that are saying to stick to shrooms because acid is too much--what the hell are you talking about? At the right dosage, they are both, like all psychadelics in this class, ridiculously powerful, none moreso than any of the others, and none should be toyed with (i.e. they should all be taken very seriously). And bad trips are just as likely on any of them.

On a more pragmatic level, erowid.org is by far the best resource out there that I've come accross for drugs of literally all varieties. Before trying any new drug, I always spend hours on end researching it, and a good two thirds of it is usually done at erowid.

[zook]

Hilarious thread. Advice... make sure you think about three things: setting, mindset and dosage. Setting: don't do it in places you might feel uncomfortable or where you might do something that could get you arrested. If you're doing in public, best not to carry anything illegal with you. Best places are out in the wilderness (with plenty of water and warm clothes) or in the comfort of someone's home. Mindset: don't bring any baggage. Don't do it when you're already wasted on something else. Don't do it with people who have a lot of baggage. (This last one is KEY.) Dosage: err on the side of caution until you've tried a particular batch. Know that increasing dosage can result in nonlinear effects on your state of mind. In other words, one could be mellow and fun, two could be mindblowing and fun, and three could have you crying for your mama.

If there's any schizophrenia in your family, definitely stay away. There's no definitive proof that psychedelics cause it, but there is a proven correlation. Scientists are split on whether the drugs are triggering schizophrenia or whether people who are bound to become schizophrenics are just more likely to try drugs. Either way, it makes no sense to self-experiment. That goes for weed too, unfortunately.

Well I never tried eating shrooms, or Acid, or poison Ivy. But I will not recomend doing any of the above.

[thenonsequitur]

im really interested in acid dropping trip reports.

someone atleast make on up, i demand storytime.

The first time I did acid, I kept several sheets of paper (printer paper, notebook paper, and a notepad) and two pens on me. I filled up 6 pages front and back. Some of it was sketches, some of it was words, and it was all in patterns. When I was writing I had no idea what I was writing; my conscious mind was separate from that which was doing the writing. The next day, I looked it over and some of the stuff I wrote was pretty interesting. I still have those papers today. Below are some of my favorite things I wrote that day. They are all transcribed verbatim.

I am not who I thought I was. But I like the real me too.

This room is a good place to be.

This is a happy wall. But why isn't it smiling?

This is a white piece of printer paper. Why?

A circus is where what happens.

I want to stay, but it is pulling me away.

I didn't think it was possible, but it just occurred to me that what I am feeling right now is boredom. But I am not bored at all. I am simply feeling boredom.

This is just another place to be. One of at least two. It has its advantages and disadvantages. I have to weigh them all out and decide which place I want to be.

Every time I fall closer into reality, it jolts me. It's a good thing, sort of.

You have to try to bring yourself back into reality. The faster you try, the faster you get there.

I keep on starting to reflect on this trip, and what it was like. And then I realize that I am still tripping. I'm certain I have been here for days, and may be for days longer.

I feel like this is never going to end. The only way to test this hypothesis is to just wait forever, then see. So now I just have to figure out how to wait forever, and then get back here when I am done.

Until now, I never knew I could experience the world for the first time several times in one night.

I am living more than my share of life. Who am I taking it away from?

Sleep is an interesting thing to ponder, because sleep doesn't make any sense. Sleep is foreign. The idea of sleeping is foreign. Sleep doesn't even begin to make sense. This is incredible.

Words are really bothering me right now, because I can't express to this notepad what I want to. Words are such an insufficient means of communication.

The most disturbing parts are the parts where I am most in touch with reality.

The drugs get you here. And here is good. The only bad parts are the getting here and the going away from here.

Associating with human-related things is so irrelevant. I am in alien spirit land. It is amazing. I want to live here forever.

People are awesome things to be.

Sometimes I want it to last forever. Sometimes I want it to end right now. But then I realize that time is irrelevant. Consciousness is fluid.

For a moment I thought that I forgot what I was doing. But it occurs to me that I never really knew. And I mean "never" in the longest sense of the word.

I'm toying with the idea that things don't matter. Nothing really matters. It's a warm idea. It physically feels warm, and I can physically play with it.

I was picked up off this world and shown another place. I was torn to bits and my component parts thrown into a blender. Then the whole things was thrown back down to reality. And now I'm trying to put myself back together and understand reality again, but I don't know why. I don't remember why I want to.

there's no such thing as a bad trip. that's just your brain maximizing value.

it's only bad with no bong hits.

and get yourself a babysitter. they'll remind you that you can't fly.

[theDEEPdish]

Also when you do that shit, don't look in a mirror. It fucks you up good!

for sure, I wasn't really looking in a mirror just at my own body at some point in time i decided it was a good idea to take most of my cloths off and i decided that i looked really fucked up.

I think that most of the people that are saying just smoke pot or drink haven't tried it and they should if they wan't to experience something crazy as shit but never do anything that you aren't ready for and definately don't give into peer pressure because then your mind is already weak.

I had already takin shrooms before but they were a little bunk and i didn't feel much from them. The thing that is the weirdest is that i remember having the whole world figured out but then it all slipped away maybe next time i should write some shit down but im to lazy

[SonOfAkira]

A few already beat me to the punch, but i'd like to reiterate that the 'do shrooms, not acid' stance is terrible advice. The bad trips on shrooms are slightly rarer, as oppposed to acid, but incredibly more brutal.
I've had two different friends who were acid veterans (5-6 hits at a time) before they decided to try mushrooms, and had painfully bad trips on them.
This notion prevalent these days about 'natural' (whatever that really means) being good is so convuluted; I reaaly enjoyed the poison ivy analogy.
Personally, I'm waiting for the time when everything is synthetic, and the whole world is paved over and metal plated.
On drugs.

People are awesome things to be.

Ive had this line of thinking on many occassion and never under the influence.

[Dislexsik]

im really interested in acid dropping trip reports.

someone atleast make on up, i demand storytime.

Their was this time that me and a couple of friends bought some strong shrooms(strongest ones available),and we wanted to have the maximum effect,so we didnt eat for the whole day and at the evening we ate like 3 portions each and made tea from 1 portion aswell.
The effect already started after 10 minutes,i started black woman morph into an ape on tv and was roffling.
My friends started to see weird things too and were laughing along with me.
But then it started to get worse and worse and at some point i had to go outside cause everything i looked at kept on morphing into other things and at some point i didnt even see colors anymore,it was just black and white.The whole time i thought i was walking in water.Lol funny shit.
My friend said to come back inside,and so i did and saw myself sitting in the couch.No joke.
I was scared and tripping out but after a time i got used to it.
I didnt even know how to put on my coat.When i looked at the clock all i saw was the things that point to the minutes and hours(don't know the name for it) spinning around like really fast.
One of my other friends drove home,and when he was at his parent place he really started to trip out and his parents had to call the ambulance.He didnt remember his name,and didn't know how to walk.
It took me along time before i was mentally recovered from this bad trip.
Ive did shrooms alot of times (their was a period i did it twice a weak)and acid aswell,but this one was the most freaky trip ever.
Never again!
