People leading healthier lifes after tripping.

I've never done lsd before, but a few good friends of mine have and after they took it and tripped they're alot more health conscious and things now.

they quit smoking bud, quit cigs, dont drink or take pills anymore, but they will do some acid.

they quit eating junk food and soda and stuff for frutis and veggies and water.

and they are acting like way different, like for a week or 2 after they trip they're all happy and stuff like life is all good and things of that sorty.

it seems acid had a positive effect on them, but me never experienced it would like to know why these things occured inthem, what happens when you trip to be more aware of these things?

 

since you posted this in the lsd forum you may have noticed the hundreds of other threads about lsd, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for if you just take the time to look...and occasionally think

 

If you could experience for one moment what you are actually doing here, if you could for one instant feel the effects your actions are having, and if you could see even a tiny fraction of the beauty and improbability that is life in a human body on the planet Earth, you could not help but be changed.

When you take an effective dose of LSD, all of that happens to you, and it lasts not just an instant, but hours and hours on end. It never really stops.

LSD removes the boundaries we all depend on to support our way of life. It's like we have our hands on the stove, and don't realize that they're burning, because we don't feel the pain. As soon as you feel the pain, it's almost impossible to go on holding your hand to the heat.

 

You see reality unfiltered. You don't understand the extent to which your brain filters the real world until those filters are removed. It is the most apocalyptic experience you can probably go through, short of actual death. No one comes out the same, because no one goes into it flawless. You will see your flaws as though through the eyes of an omniscient and omnipresent god.

Knowing these things about yourself, how could one not change afterwards?

I quit drinking and smoking after acid. Also eat much healthier, spend more time outdoors and with people. My relationship with my friends has improved noticeably, and my relationship with my parents has done an absolute 180 from non-existant to warm. It's done wonders for my social anxiety. Infinitely more than therapists and prescribed poisons.

If you're ready to learn who it is that looks out through the eyes in your face, tell your friends you want to dose with them next time. Whats the worst that can happen? Acid is not what changes anything in your friends, your friends decided to change themselves. If you don't like the experience or you don't like what you learn about yourself, you can go right back to living life the way you always have and just write the whole thing off as a silly drug trip.

 

LSD is a near-death experience. A lot of people change for the better when they almost die in a car wreck. On the other hand, some people go completely off the deep end and stop caring about everything because they cannot handle the power and fragility of life after experiencing something so intense, or because they think that if they survived that wreck, they can survive anything. It all depends on the person. LSD is amazing, but it is not the only path to positive change. One of my good friends lost his father recently, and he is also living a much more healthy, loving life. Thousands of people came to his father's funeral (he was a school principle), and he saw first hand what an impact his father had on this beautiful world, and he also learned, sadly, how short a time we have in which to make a difference. He better understands his own mortality now, and he is making the most of his life. Will he continue to do so until he dies? Who knows. Who knows if your friends will still be going on a health spree in a few weeks or months or years. LSD is good for a shake-up... sometimes it's a beautiful shake-up, sometimes it's ugly. It depends on the person, situation, experiences, beliefs, inner strength, set, setting, faith, etc. etc. etc.

If you want a powerful, chemically-induced experience, take LSD. If not, then either do nothing, or challenge yourself in some other way. Volunteer at a home for the terminally ill. Attempt to make it into the NBA. Go fight in Iraq. Start an anti-war movement. Get married and have a kid. Rob a bank. All of these things will change your life, and no one ever knows how a certain action or experience will effect that person until it happens. So, go live some life and report back

 

Well, basically everyone who's posted before me have said it in a much more eloquent and articulate way than I could.

But yes, after having LSD several times in my life I have made several positive changes.

I am no longer depressed. I now have a full-time job. I don't smoke pot or cigarettes or drink during the week anymore. I am just so much more happy with myself now and I can't help but feel that LSD was the driving force behind all these changes.

I now also eat healthier - I don't eat take-out, chocolate, lollies etc, I no longer see the point.

LSD has helped me in innumerable ways. It is an amazing drug and I am so thankful that I did it.

I hope this helped.

 

Well I can say the same, after it, no more sodas, or at least as much as i used to, It made me think a lot, the way i was dealing with my life, what I want, what I really need with me, my gf, who has tried at the same time with me want to be a veggie, I dont know, it does change you, you wont see life as you used to see it.

For example, I got at hoe a picture on the wall, is a waterfall, well, I was dosed one time and the water was running there, the clouds were moving, and it was not a flat image, it had a lot of deeph, well, now, I can still focus and see the waterfall comes alive.

Other day I was walking on the beach dosed and the sky looked like a picture, like an art work, like the sky on the movie King Kong 2005, have you seen that movie?, well, just like that, and for several days, the sky was never the same, now is prettier.

After the experience, music, life, entertainment, work, family relationship, art, books, everything has a deeper meaning, I am deeply grateful that the experience turned out to be a life changing experience, for good.

 

well put, but i don't think this applies to just LSD, but to all psychadelics. I have had much more personal gain from taking mushrooms, but thats just my personal preference. just try to keep an open mind and the good times will come. whenever i trip i gain real perspective on my life. whether its good or bad, it shows me where i need to make changes. my life has improved in numerous ways as a result of taking psychadelics. I am more confident in myself and i, like your friends, lead a much healthier lifestyle. these are just two examples but im in a hurry to get somewhere so ill leave you with that.

Peace

It seems to get rid of my addictions and impulses, too.. after the first time I tripped, I got over my psychological addiction to pot and started exercising daily.

 

go on a good mescaline ride... i get a lil after glow that really actually stays with me.
i only smoke a .1 of chronic now compared to 2g. eat healthy and workout everyday. it also seems to be helping my anxiety disorder alot... but that maybe from the weed?

peace

 

yeah im not afraid to take lsd, its just you gotta have the money to get the chemical and the money i dont have.

if my friends were generous with theirs id definantely take it.

from waht yall are saying and what they say it could help me out alot.

im very anti social not because i want to be just because i get all kinds of negative thoughts in my mind and see things bad if i put out an effort to open up to anyone. i know its in my mind but when i put ymself out i just go back to being a hermit.

i try to see positive things i nlife just little things but im awlays coming back to stupid little things in life that hold me back from moving forward.

maybe taking some lsd would help open me up to a new look on things and be a more open happy person. who knows?

 

Dont take it expecting something, just let it happen, dont ask questions, they will come in time, try to listen "candle of life" from the moody blues, or "watching and waiting" , they know what to say on those moments, music helped me a lot, besides being just trippy, listening to music with a lot of baggage has a very revealing aproach, they want to say something to you, for me the moodies had taught me a lot from my previous trips, well I am a music freak since my childhood.

I remember that day on the beach listening some of their tunes on a dock, watching the sea turn golden, and the ripples as brilliant as never before, the words, "you're here today, no future fears, this day would last a thousand years if you want it to", just magic in the air!!!!. Or watch the cars smile at me all doing a perfect formation dancing on the streets while "tuesday afternoon" was playing on my ipod.

I was not looking for it, it just happened, ok, maybe this is silly, but what changes on your head is beyond words, i cant explain that, but the lyrics of the moody blues are made to guide you, to taugh you something, and they did to me. I was a long time fan, now, after being dosed with them, I can say that is not only good music, is something more.
