Anything like being superstoned? (Research oriented)

I plan on trying LSD for the first time soon. Since I wrote a research paper about smart-drugs, and some of the content was about LSD-25, it has gained an interest in me to try it. From all my research, it seems like the mind effects of LSD is very similar to being hard core stoned on marijuana. I could be wrong, but can I get any confirmation on this? I only assume this because of all the documents I've read, and compare it from the memories of when I used to experiment with marijuana itself. Minus the visual hallucinations, I have, in fact been stoned to the level of ego loss but at the same time while my mind is running a million miles an hour, I feel so physically lathargic to get up and do jack shit!

Also, I've read in a few posts that its not good to be alone. One one hand, I'm a very social guy but I'd rather be alone when frying for the first time.

I'm a psychology major at a University and have a passionate hunger for this experience -- I'm afraid that the anxiety of wanting to know intimately about this drug would perhaps manifest itself into a massive anxious trip causing me to fight it and try to grasp reality snowballing into a panic. I hope this doesnt happen, but I'd like to be fully prepared and packed luggage before I trip.

Perhaps I'll dose myself on tranquilizers to calm myself down before dosing LSD.

 

Well it's like beening super stoned as far as visuals, but the feeling is much different. A lot of people say that bud doesn't give them visuals, but i and other people that i've talked to do. I think it just depends on how good the weed is, and how often you smoke it.

As for the worrying about freaking out. My advice would just to be, don't. It's not always that simple though because if you have a mental illness it could very possibly amplify it a shit load. Especially an anxiety dissorder. Just have a possitive attitude your first time, and don't set there worring about what could go wrong. Instead think about good things. Never fight it, it will only stress and tire you because i assure you that you want win.

Don't use a tranquilizer first because it will mess up your trip majorly if not completely. I'd suggest having one handy incase that happens then administering it. It's also wise to look up all the information you can about the environment, and state of mind you need to be in during the trip. And only take one hit the first time.

 

It probably wont be like you expect it...Try a hit I guess. And don't take some major tranquilizer like an anti psychotic, it will ruin the trip...Benzos should be ok at a light dose to take some of the anxiety off.

It isnt like being superstoned I find. When you are superstoned, you know the lethargy and carelessness well hehe on your first time taking lsd it won't be like that. You will probably be quite active ;p

Its just very different, but you can find similarities...It is much more of an ''event'' then being baked out of your mind.

And desert nightmare, you actually get 'trip' visuals with bud??? I get visuals but its far from being detailed patterns and bright neon colors...

 

The 'Tranquilizers' I'm speaking about is, Benzos. I have a lot of xanax and was thinking about taking those.

When I experimented with marijuana, I never had visual hallucinations; on the other hand I've tried to look at things and just not see them clearly but never any distortions, or wavyness.

I've done plenty of research on the drug for my class, and despite the negative talk about psychologists self testing with hallucenogens, I want to experience it.

Maybe I wont do it after all, but for some reason it seems like there is an unspoken call, or attaction that LSD wants me to try it desperately.

And as for my assumption of it being like super-stoned for the mind, this is just what I had gathered from my research on reading other peoples research from back in the early 60's. It never did state anything related to, or similar to marijuana, but since I have experimented with marijuana in mass quantities before, this is just my hypothesis.

I'm very thankful for your replies.

 

Hehehe

Man I think you should do it if you have a major in psychology

Theres negative talk??? In my book theres only negative experiences ;p

 

No not open eye visuals, just closed eye visuals. Also if i'm cold i'll get tactile hallucinations pretty good. But thats only with nuggets. Though all of this is no where near as intince as lsd.

 

well before i write i should tell you i never myself have taken L but i think i know enough about it to try and describe some aspects to you.
i dont imagine itd be like being superstoned, cos when youre that stoned you cant even think properly and youre more of just a stoned dude smacking out on a couch deeply entranced in watching some show that an hour ago he wouldve thought was terrible. i used to always get visuals off even one cone, like id sit at the skatepark and look at the bottom of the bowl and some giant object would materialize there, houses would seem upside down, i could see people's paths they had to walk through life and they would actually walk on the set path, which kind of wakked me out haha.
But lsd is different, sometimes people desrcibe it as 'an electric buzz', you are not hazy like bud, it's like "this is what is happening to you right now, dont run from it, embrace it".

 

Oh ya havent tried yet trippedelia? I thought you had

its Poly mind-fill paint , or mind poly-fill paint, or poly-mind filling paint , I just can't figure lol

Is there anyone out there this mornin?

 

its way different then being superstoned being stoned relaxes your mind ..and body but tripping blasts your mind wide open tothe pint of super thought..the simpelest things take on a massive meanning
a cloud can teach you infinit wisdom
a pencil can entrance you for hours ..
in short the simple become complex & the complex simple
the meanning of life concences to a 1 word answer while should i smoke a bowl becomes a question with unlimmeted possible answers

 

haha good one soaring eagle

 

YES. I remember spending what seemed like the best part of an hour deciding that I wouldn't mind a cup of tea. I didn't even know that was what I was doing, it was just a huge intellectual maze that I was navigating.. and at the end I just finally realised "cup of tea! That's what I want!"

 

It's impossible to completely encapsulate the full meaning and brevity of such an experience in language.

Not like being super-stoned. More like walking on a cloud in heaven and meeting god in all that you see. Once you see the essence of god that is in all, and actually realize this, your self with melt into unity with the collective consciousness. BOOM woosh gone with the wind, ride the l traaaaiiiin baby

Above all, if you get confused listen to the music play.

 

Mate, it is nothing like being superstoned!
This is where a personal experience is the only thing that can answer your questions.
I describe the physical feeling of Acid as a giant ball of happiness inside your torso. Acid is percieving the world through kaleidoscopic glasses a mile above general perception.
If you do eventually take it, try looking at a leaf under light so you can see all the veins inside the leaf. you will find that off every larger vein, comes a smaller one, and off that comes an even smaller one. this is also how acid enables you to think about things.. so in depth and with such insight.
Hope this helps! I would avoid tranqualisers before tripping. just follow the usual recomendations, good set, good setting, good friends to trip with and good music. With all of these a bad trip is near impossible.

 

I like that....mister...I like that.

Good words.

 

I assume you're talking about nootropics, unless you're referring to Dave Pierce's "The Good Drug Guide" from Hedweb.

lsd doesn't quite fit into the nootropic category, but its cousin Hydergine does.

 

Yes that is correct. Hydergine was a big topic in my paper. I just wrote in the paper the relationship of the chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann, LSD, and other ergot pharmaceuticals he created.
