Flashbacks

I am going to try acid (gel caps) in a few weeks and i was just wondering about flashbacks. i no you cannot predict if you will have a flashback and everything but i have 3 questions

1)if i have a flashback, will i no where i am still and act normal
2)how long does it last
3)if i only take it once every other month, do you think its less likely to have flashbacks

 

1. Will you know where you are? Almost certainly. Unless you totally flip out, you will know where you are while tripping/flashbacking. You might be able to act normally, or you might be flipping out.

2. 1-2 seconds or a few hours

3. No, not at all less likely. You can have them after one trip, easily. Once you've gone through the door, you've gone through the door.

 

Flashbacks for me are pretty knarly, but i usualy know where im at and am able to hold my shit together and act normaly. HPPD sucks, the visual disturbances suck but they aint as bad as the DR and DP.

 

derealization and depersonalization?

 

Youll be ok. Flashbacks can happen from any intense experience, and theyre not necessarily a bad thing anyway. I mean, you wouldn't want one if you were in the middle of taking the SAT's or some shit like that but normally you would be alright.

 

Yeah stayloose, I dont get as much depersonalization as I do derealization, but it really blows when it kicks up. Usualy a result of smoking some weed, sleeping too much, not drinking enough or just by itself wanting to be heard.

 

any "flashbacks" iv had would be considered very mild.

for instance, smoking weed and drninkin with friends somhow we started talkin about trippin and they mentioned some things i did or said when i had a bad trip that i had forgot about. and i got really overwhelmed and was gonna hop up and leave, just had to get out of their. tho i quickly changed the convo.

another instance would be sittin around the pool just looking at stuff when i saw somthing and im like huh and kept looking and nothing was there. and i felt weird for a few minits like very mild acid feeling.

your probably thinking of full blown flashbacks. iv heard they can be pretty confusing and overwhelming. but youd have to take acid heaps for that.

 

heaps.

 

ive only had mild flashbacks as well. i tripped at a radiohead concert last year and about 4 times since while smoking and listening to them ive had a mild flashback

 

I have had an intense flash back. I had to leave work because car alarms made me paranoid. I walked home that day flipping out not even taking the same route home i would normally. Not to mention the undercover vehicle i had parked outside my home the same day. It was a little hard for me to handle. Very intense like if i had dropped like 8-10 hits of acid, but with out the visuals. I took an nap to sleep it off. It happened when i cracked my neck and back because i was really tensed up.

 

haha. cracking your back doesnt do anything, theres no drugs stored their. its purely a psychologcial thing, which is very real. you cracked your back and cause you beleived it would do somthing you had a flashback from it.

 

Usually flashbacks for me are seeing the ground move a little, or just noticing a random pattern, often a few secconds and usually only when I'm really high or tired. I never got any flashbacks that weren't of the visual effect and never an extreme one.

 

Hey now I just realized somthing, I dont have flashbacks, im just perma-fried.

 

I have had a few bad trips on pot that were essentially like flashbacks/panic attacks, involving intense depersonalization... like, out of body experience type thing. But, I am really sensitive to weed, and only once have I felt anything like it sober. But yeah, LSD definitely opens channels, don't know how else to describe it.

 

I didn't used to be sensitive to weed, but whenever i smoke more than a small bowl, or the stuff is extra nice, the DR kicks in and knocks me out of the water, I'm so sick of this HPPD bullshit, if I were weaker i'd have shot myself by now.

 

yeah. weed is crazy now for me too. most people i smoke with say weed is just relaxing and stuff but i allways talk crazy shit and rock back and forth. i do alot of peicing together of reality and my change in thinkin since takin acid becomes more pronouced. but i like it. i like to trip even on weed and see things in differnt ways.

 

like tripping without actualy tripping 24/7 visual mental aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if i take lil baby hits off my own pipe im usualy fine and it can be relaxing but it really depends whats goin on around me, where i am etc...

done a shitload of reality pieceing, but like trying to put a jigsaw puzzle together on a wall it doesn't fall right.

 

I don't believe in flashbacks.

 

and I dont believe in you.

 

i want to have a flashback!
