Everything Leary said about acid was true for me.

I've come back from what was the most meaningful social gathering of my life; a music festival called Wormtown, in Greenfield Mass. The people I met there, the conversations I had were conscious expanding experiences alone, but I took 4 doses of L-25 and had the most incredible trip of my life. There was no freakiness, no visual distortion, just incredible clarity. I was there with maybe a hundred others, sitting around a bonfire, loving and feeling the energy fields of all. I concentrated my thoughts and energy on images of love and harmony and joined my spirit voice into the mix, among the drums and voices, and the result was the greatest song I never heard. Because it was beyond an aural experience, or anything conceivable by a brain alone. This was something that touched my soul.

Acid is an incredible substance, when the setting is right and the intention of the user is good. It is not meant to be a party drug, for someone to take to space out and look at weird visuals. This is a learning experience. The lesson was how to be a better me.

I've discovered a new creativity and energy, and this is long after the trip has ended. I've become faster, smarter, stronger, and more present. I'm living more in the moment, thanks to this experience, and I know that I won't ever have to use it again if I don't want to. The psychological and spiritual growth is permanent, and I am filled with a level of consistent joy and confidence previously unknown to me.


Thank you universe for answering my prayers and giving me this beautiful thing which has made me a better person. I love you all on these forums and urge you all to try L-25, but only from a trusted source and only in a safe, comfortable place away from all stress and negativity.

This is to a better tomorrow for us all, for we all need to be smarter, more mindful and more loving for reality to continue to work. Now is the time to evolve and transcend, before we doom ourselves with our destructive actions.

 

Righteous Brother!!! Very Very Righteous!!!!

 

That's so awesome brother. I'm really happy for you.

 

Sounds like you had an awesome time on whatever it was you took man, and I'm happy for you too, but it certainly wasn't acid.

 

It most certainly was acid, and the best and purest kind at that. But more important than the great quality was my mindset, which was relaxed, positive, and with the intention of enlightenment in mind. Your intent is everything when it comes to psychedelics. If you don't go into the trip with a focus, it can go anywhere and become all sorts of freaky. It is through my powerful intentions that I have had great and meaningful psychedelic experiences, even with pot alone.

When I wasn't focused on my feelings, and on visual stimulus instead, as it happened when I gazed at the stars, I did notice some crazy distortion, but for the most part I was concentrating on learning about my energy and becoming better at controlling my own thoughts and mood, and so my vision was very clear, just ultra telescopic and capable of zeroing in on the smallest details.

Today I had an incredible focus and was able to get so many things done around my house and yard. I've found my laziness has been reduced a great deal ever since that trip, and I found myself coming up with creative solutions to problems. It's incredible how much I've improved myself and I can't wait to put my newly expanded mind to work in the days to come.

 

Sorry for being presumptuous man. For some reason I got the impression it was your first ever acid trip (the thread title seemed to suggest it), so I was thinking if you hadn't taken it before, how could you be sure?

That, and that the notion of 4 hits of acid without distorion seems such a faraway concept to me - one tab/drop alone will bring about some really freaky shit for me

 

LSD = mind expansion; you are right on "Share_the_Warmth", its too bad its in such short supply.

 

My first acid trip was all weird distortion: my unconscious friend's face had transformed into a grotesque, bubbling ooze, complete with sound effects. He had passed out from too many pills and I sat there tripping, trying to revive him in vain. I learned from that trip never to get into pills. I believe they rot you, and my brain processed that rot in a very visually striking way that will always stick with me. I don't drink as much either since then. Anything that hinders more than helps will be discarded. In my diet I try to eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible. Not too a fault of course, because if I desire ice cream or a cheeseburger I'm going to have it. The point is to be healthy and confident, but to indulge in what it is that you want. Don't deprive yourself of fun and a good time.

So I digressed a little just now and that's ironic because this recent trip was all about clarity. I intended for that result. I prayed for it. I mean, maybe I did imagine some of the people I saw at the festival that night, but there were so many strangely dressed folks from all walks of life that it's hard to tell. Did I imagine the clown who was sitting near me nodding in agreement to the things being said by me and my new friends? Or the man with the scarred face and the beautiful tiger tattoos? Perhaps. But there was nothing freaky or uncomfortable about the things I saw; it was all meaningful and cohesive and I felt like I belonged there and that I was telepathically linked to everyone, even the cops and gruff biker guards.

I guess this trip differed from the others in the way a lucid dream does from a strange nightmare that you don't know you're having. I was ecstatic and laughing, really digging it all, and my friend said I had a permanent grin on my face for much of the night.

Man there was a point, after staying up for what felt like the longest night in my life (felt like whole days had passed during that trip) when I realized that reality really is just a projection of our consciousness. I really believe everything we see is just the manifestation of our own thoughts. The whole point of my life is to find complete peace with myself and all other souls while navigating this creation of ours, and I have found my path. Nature, art, travel, and psychadelics.

I consider myself a full blown psychonaut now, and I've come to a point where I can begin to materialize the objects and experiences I want in my life. I know the journey ahead is full of adventure and excitement, and I will learn from the great men who came before me but also forge my own path in the spirit world. Whenever I'm down I only have to remind myself how much I've grown, how many quantum leaps I've made in my development, from a kid with bad coordination and social development problems to a man who is becoming increasingly equipped to mold this universe to his desire.

From child to man is where I've been. From man to god is where I dare to aspire.

I'll make it too, because I have what it takes.

 

im glad your finding a shed of light on things thru your experience. we could all use a similiar vision so we can have a better tommoro for... EVERYONE

 

Well it does seem odd that you had no visual distortions because I mean it's not like acid is a drug you can just make stop from working. And where I'm from in mass if it goes by the name 'L-25' I guess it's suppose to be some strong shit, like, suck you out of your consciousness strong. And 4 hits on top of it? Idk, but I think it's cool you got to feel what you did anyway. And maybe because it was dark on top of it? I can hardly tell if I'm seeing distortions late at night. But yeah, nice.

 

Yeah 4 hits of REAL acid would take your mind, sit it on the bed, fuck the shit out of it for 10 hours straight, then let you run rampid. I've heard of some shit going around baltimore people are passing off for acid but it's not "real" acid........

 

when people sell fake hits its really not cool. especially when they say its "liquid" thru a visine bottle, even if its real its questionable

 

No, I did see distortions, especially when looking at the stars, but they were secondary in importance to the incredible feeling of clarity and general understanding I had. To me, that was the really memorable thing about the trip, how much better I could feel with my heart rather than only think with my mind.

 

Well whether it was LSD or not all that matters is the wisdom you've gained from the experience.....

 

How often have you actually tripped on acid before Share the Warmth? Acid certainly has many sides and trips can be controlled to an extent, but when The Man on the Hill says "4 hits of REAL acid would take your mind, sit it on the bed, fuck the shit out of it for 10 hours straight", I'm inclined to agree. When you've taken that sort of acid, distortions isn't even the right word for the experience. I'm not saying it's impossible to have a pleasant and enlightening trip (many people do), but I think Terrance McKenna put it best when he said that a large dose of psychedelics can best be described as "Load universe into cannon, point at brain, fire". That's the sort of experience I get off two strong hits of acid, let alone 4. It just seems too bizarre a concept that anyone could sit there and "hardly notice" the trip in a traditional sense.

Don't take any of this the wrong way btw, I just don't like to think that you might be an inexperienced tripper, who next time would think "well I had 4 hits last time so I'll have 6 hits this time and maybe I'll see some more of those crazy distortions!"

 

yeah...i agree with Hemisphere.

You probably got real acid, i just don't think it was THAT dank. Usually three gets me tripped so far out that the trip has very extreme emotional up and downs. I hardly ever take more than 2 nowadays...ive gone so deep into the rabbit hole and tripped so hard for so fucking long i thought i would never come out alive off doses similar to what you took.

 

Hey, I just had a hit of this other stuff I got at the festival yesterday. Just one tab (well the equivalent of one, maybe 3/4 of a tab ripped off a sheet) and the experience was pretty damn close to what I had on the other four at the festival. I was playing Civ 4, kicking ass like never before and taking notice of so many new things about the game graphically. Then I started thinking about shamanism, doing some research, getting more and more deeply in tuned with the metaphysical world. I couldn't sleep all night, I was just too excited and was pondering too many things. If the festival showed me what I could do with others, this experience by myself showed me the power of my own mind.

Mike, I'm inclined to believe you, that the quality wasn't so great with the other stuff. Maybe I was meant to get weak stuff first, because I was so gung ho about it and recklessly took 4 hits despite my friend's advice. Maybe it was best for me to sample weaker tabs first, get a grip on that, and then move on to stronger stuff and test my ability to control a deeper trip. Man, the world has really been looking out for me lately. I feel like I can be as reckless as I want and I'll be fine and looked after, but learning all the way. It's empowering, strange, but it feels right for me.

I plan on tripping with this other stuff soon, once my tolerance goes down from the tab I took yesterday. I'll try 2 or 3 tabs maybe. How long should I wait, do you guys think?

Thanks for the posts and thoughts, I appreciate all your feedback. I need guys like you in my life, who are willing to test the boundaries. Every day my fears grow smaller and I grow stronger. It's a transformation, and it was weird at first, but now it feels great, and it's been like this for the last year, only progressively better. Positive thinking, the release of tension and fear, and psychadelics. Most importantly, self-love (not to be confused with arrogance) and empowerment, and testing the boundaries we make for ourselves while still staying sane and retaining my harmony with the universe. It's easy for me now, but it requires attention and focus, things I'm getting steadily better at.

Hey, where do you guys live? You in the northeast? I'd love to meet up with some of you.

 

purchasing it from a festival that i am assuming wasn't like a pro-drug festival but just a festival and drugs were present? maybe clarify that for me.
I know there is festivals like every once in my state called Houkaville where you pay 80 admission and you have offers out the asshole for drugs...it's set up on a reservation so doing the drugs on the property is unapproachable but taking it back is risky cuz cops post themselves up outside.
you are like guarunteed to get good shit in that place....i think it's just due to the fact that it's a festival that has been going on for god knows how long and who know what would happen do you if you pushed fake shit....most of the people there pay the higher price rather than risking it...but i guess it's better if you know a few people who have loose...extremely loose contacts with chemists...with all the doses i've done in the past summer i guess i just got lucky that i was around my area for a good constant because most small town aren't like that. When you get a good amount of good shit like that or you put down like a shit ton of money on a ten strip you have to know for a fact the dude wouldn't double cross you....which is like complete trust i think...trusting someone that intently over business transactions i see as okay as long as you know where the person lives and are pretty well involved and detached as a friend, more or less a tripping buddy....

but once the drugs are set aside you can trust the person as much as you can trust yourself and if you were in a boat and there was only one life presever would you fight for it?
haha.
damn...i ramble to much and bring points that are irrelevant and irrelevant to the topic....but i guess it's completely relevant because you got sold some weak doses.

my way of testing out if someone who sells is legit...well it's not a new idea and since you got it from a fest you might not have been able to keep track as well
but like i make sure if i ever try from a new supply that i am gonna chill with the guy that sold it to me to make sure that it's legit.
but when making relationships such as that is is wise just to keep the money like on one of your really close friends or family members...like close family bonds...someone you trust completely again...then you wait it out and see how good the doses are and if they are weak don't call the dude out on it and be a dick...just be like "yeah i haven't had any acid like that in a while" or if you have only had like really good acid...but pretty much most people have had the high and low ends in their life...
but like yeah.
i'm closing because i am doing a cigarette break before i get ready for work see ya fellaz

 

That was one of the best things i've read on this sight. Nice too see my fellow man taking a REAL interest in life I'm in maryland and I can't find 'cid ANYWHERE.......I mean ANYWHERE!!! It's a real downer man. What part of CT you in? Im up north every now and then (Nashua and LondonDerry NH) so next time I come up i'm definitely going to have to holler at you, it's been so long since i tripped
