I've come to realize that most people I know who have taken acid (which is a lot) don't come out with any serious life discoveries or significant reactions to it. They may say it was fun, or it was cool, but they didn't seem too moved. I have taken LSD 11 times and tripped out all the way only once (the first time) and my reaction was like HOLY SHIT man this is the awesomest fuckin' thing EVER!!! It all makes sense, the whole world, I get it, I completely understand life now, etc. And recently, a good friend of mine finally tripped all the way, and I could tell because of his reaction and the types of things he was saying. So that's one person besides myself... So who here has tripped out ALL THE WAY? and if you have, how many people do you know personally who have tripped out all the way? Damn I wish more people would take LSD the way it really is supposed to be taken... and I wish so much didn't go to waste...
There are many different ways in all the ways out there. There are many more ways you havent been yet. lsd is never wasted. by those who take it.. thats theirs and whats yours is Sacred! Let it be.. your moved so be moved, move a few and move on...
gee thanks..kinda came out that way. Im not discouraging any preaching, but we have to restrain ourselfs so not to seem like fanitics, If we keep this in mind we can get others to see our points of view better, When it comes to psychedelics.
There is no such thing a tripping out all the way. You can not figure "it" out because the human mind will never be able to understand infinity.
Dudes, check it. One time I took some LSD, and like, everything got all wavy and shit. Shit was all the way yo, all the way!!!!1!!
Most people seem to say 'people have different experiences' But I say, its that people are having different interpretations of the same experience. I think the disagreement comes in just the very nature of what interpretation has to be. They have to be different. Otherwise it wouldn't function. You know, visiting the singular source doesn't pump out a bunch of in-line duplicates with a well-formed metaphorical guide so they can present they all know the same experience, the universe would then just collapse immediately. It instead pumps out the highly structured, but seemingly chaotic thing we call the earth and the universe. But it is all an interpretation of the same thing.
What exactly is "all the way" for you? To get better understanding about yourself and life? Than every person I know tripped all the way. But I wouldn't call that all the way. How you can know 100% of something that you don't know?
You can go all the way only when you leave this physical body and let it RIP and rot, but maybe not even than...
Every time I have tripped I have had a different expierece, but felt I learned something about myself. Just in a different way each time. So I'm sure others who have tripped go something completely different than what I do, and in a compeltely different way. So what may be an enlightening expierence to you may be considered insignificat to someone else. But what they consider "enlightening" expierences may be considered terrifying to you. For example, I once tripped with someone who was a member of some nazi party..he found that his racist feelings became more enforced/had more meaning when he was tripping. Me, on the other had, had strong feelings opposite of his..but still felt like I was having an enlightening expierence. We learned to trip in peace for the rest of the session, but we chose to not really hang out anymore after that. So what I'm saying is I think everyone has an enlightening trip, just it is probally completely different than yours.
What I consider to be tripping out all the way is as you're coming up, when you hit the peak, well, I got this realization, as everything was already moving and dancing, these purple and green and blue checkered spirals, patterns, came into full focus, and suddenly it felt like the whole world made perfect sense, that all was one, and I was part of it. I was listening to music and I became the music, I could focus in on different instruments in the song and I felt this energy, this powerful, deep feeling of energy all around me, and within me, and it was then Released in the form of a body high, the most satisfying feeling in the whole world - the greatest life satisfaction I ever got, and it was like I was flying through a tunnel with all 7 colors of the rainbow as the tunnel - all 10 times after that I was never in a comfortable, safe, good enough environment and so I never tripped to that deepest level again... but all I ever figured out from all the rest of my trips is that I have to try again next time, and that I don't have the resources yet to create that environment which just happened by luck that first time...
i hear ya, some people just dont get the magic with lsd. i have known people who wasted it and it is very obvious. they lack the respect for lsd. if you and your friends ate a bunch of acid and played video games all night or watched movies all night or hung out in the mall all day then you wasted your trip. if all acid is to you is a rush with some visuals then you are missing the point. sometimes we have to trip a few times before we snap out of it but i agree lsd is very often wasted or misused in a way that ruins its reputation. i used it for the wrong reasons at first but i eventually found the right reasons. i think a lot if the time people need to stumble across lsd with the wrong intentions only to be shown something amazingly unexpected and wonderful. in other words i think that even a wasted trip can lead to good things for some. but ya, i hear ya.
I disagree. Have you ever played video games or watched a movie on LSD? I have, and I certainly enjoyed it. It was NOT a waste of a trip nor a waste of LSD. I mean seriously..you're talking about all these "right reasons" for taking LSD, but what are they? Different people take LSD for different reasons, but nobody can tell them that they are using it for the wrong reasons. If i want to have a deep, insightful, mindfucking, problem-solving,self-analysis on LSD then I will. However if a couple buddies and I decide we're gonna take 2-3 hits,and have a chillout trip to some music and watch movies / play games all night then that is fine too. I think the labeling of LSD as a spirtual, self-thearaputic only drug is bullshit...because it can be used, and rightfully so in other ways.
yeah I totally agree, 3xi. And to Manasmoker - I don't think it's wrong to take a trip in the way you're describing, I just think it's not as powerful and not as incredible, there's an ultimate truth and many more powerful, amazing effects hidden that only show themselves in the ideal environment and mindset, so hey, I figure you might as well get your money's worth... even though such an experience is priceless...
ya i thought that playing video games and watching movies was a great way to trip when i was 19 to. until i realized that they are distractions. why would i want to distract myself from a wonderful experience. i watch movies sober but when i trip i like to explore my mind and the universe - the tv is so limiting!
ive tripped out all they way my first time. it made me realize that the universe is one. Life has meaning. and all things living have meaning to something in this world.
Oh ok, so it's like either you agree or do LSD the way 3xi wants you to, or you are wasting the drug, "distracting" yourself. That is ridicilous, and I see your same huge ego "im older than you" attitude in other posts 3xi. LSD is what you make it, and just because you think it should be used a certain way, doesn't mean it is the only right way.
Just face it man, 3xi knows everything and we are all wrong, all the time. It's like, an objective fact of life man
how are you goign to tell someone they wasted a trip. mybe that is just the way that they like tripping . just because he is not doing the exact same thig as you when you trip doesnt mean that he is wasting it.
