And a note to people who have done it. Never tell yourself that you are mentally and spiritually stable enough to conquer LSD and its effects. After several hundred mushroom and LSD trips, I still had the spiritual shit beaten out of me so bad that I had to resort back to self reflection and evaluation, something I deemed unecessary several years ago. There is always more to learn...
Sorry dude, didn't mean to break your heart Just saying that's my issue. I can't really get little bits for a trip here and there which sucks. A bottle is too much for me unless I'm doing the festival season abroad or something.. Completely sound, intelligent and truthful advice as ever there, sir!
the key with acid is who you surround yourself with. if you're a newbie tripper, don't trip with other newbies alone because a great trip can turn into a horrible one if someone starts freaking out. a good idea is to have a tripsitter who knows what its about and is there to comfort you if you need it. acid is a beautiful drug and i recommend everyone try it- at least once.
No sure why you singled me out but I will play. I would not consider anyone who trips several hundred times mentally or spiritually stable. LSD is nice and it provides insights to worlds and dimensions beyond regular awareness. But tripping several hundred times? That is just nuts. Moderation is the key here. The most powerful Spiritual insights I have had was when I was not tripping. LSD gave me things to think about and changes in awareness. But it is not the key to enlightenment.
^ Indeed you cannot buy spirituality for ten bucks a hit. And indeed the human mind already has the potential to obtain enlightenment through it's own capacities, free of illusions.
wow, stay loose, i so didnt copy your post i didnt even look. great minds start posts the same way =p
My post was not done with the intention of singleing you out my friend, Im sorry you apparently have taken it as an invitation to an argument. I quoted you in order to do nothing but add to your advice. But thank you for passing your judgement on me for my interest in exploring the psychonautic realms. It seems that maybe you tasted a bit of fear? Your enlightenment has the abillity to put someone at a distance because they are 'nuts' since they dont agree with you. Nobody said that LSD is a key to enlightenment, if anything my post agrees with that statement. Spirituality is a state of soul not of mind. Peace and good health to you and your family. Love ya just the same -
i love acid too. ive found some pretty good geltabs for $7 a hit and FINALLY, its a consistent hookup. so ive been tripping a lot lately. on saturday, i had a really bad trip on 5 hits and it fucked with my head a good bit- after smoking some pot and reflecting on it i realized it was only a learning experience, and from it, something good would arise. i too enjoy tripping alone. i can enjoy it outside in nature, in the warmth of summer with some friends, but other than that... i dont know. its iffy. very few of my friends trip on acid, and those who do look at it with that "lets get fucked up mentality" and thats not why i take it, so i try to avoid that. to me, it seems like having friends around can substantially adds to the list of "possible bad trip factors" if your friends arent on exactly the same page. as much as ive tripped, im not by any means an experienced tripper, so this is likely just me. but still, fucking love acid. ive still got 7 hits left from the 15 i got a deal on, so i may take like 5 or 6 again saturday if im not doing anything and feel in the mood for a trip.
