Hello All, I've just recently found these forums, and I must say the information and advice given in the posts related to the use of acid are some of the best I've ever seen-- very informative. My problem is this: I live in Toronto and have recently gotten into acid. I don't do, nor have I ever, used other drugs. I hate smoking and drinking. I was reluctant to trip, but I must say it was a life-changing experience. I was going through some really tough times in my life and it sort of opened a new door for me, and shed new light on my life. Anyway, the problem is now, all of my friends are utterly disgusted at me. They all smoke weed and drink profusely, but when it comes to LSD I am automatically labeled a hardcore druggie, lowlife etc. I don't understand the stigma attached to it. So, in conclusion, I am here to ask anyone from Toronto what kind of scenes I should start frequenting, or what kind of people I should start associating with, to find some understanding, and maybe even establish some really good, true friends. I say true friends because I've basically lost all my friends over acid. Some friends eh? My msn contact info can be found on my profile if anyone wants to add me.
your friends look down at you because you took lsd? even though they smoke weed and drink? tell them to take some
Yeah I don't know what it is around here, but acid seems to be the devil or something. They all go crazy with alcohol but when I showed them acid they shunned me. It must be a media portrayal or something.
always wondered about the "drop acid in their cup" (like coffee) and such. Would the acid not degrade because of the heat? Also what about in water, alcohol, etc.?
Some. It dissentegrates in your mouth too though. I can't imagine it not being fine... It's delicate, but it's more of a long term kind of thing that matters. As for those friends.... Tell them to suck a dick and to learn a tiny bit about drugs before TAKING drugs. But you should smoke some pot, really.
You may not be a druggie, but you are a low life. Your passive judgment is just as ego shattering to them as their name calling and labeling is to you(r ego). You should keep your current friends, but if that isn't an option I suppose the anal lube aisle at your local super market might net you some associates. Or possibly the Children's Section at Wal-Mart.
I found and got people to trip who were originally my smoking and drinking buddies so I don't quite know what I can tell ya, maybe just bring it up to people you know who do drugs nonchalantly and see who does it. I'm sure one of them does. If not that's kinda strange. I had the same problem when I was still in school so I can see where you were coming, it was regarded as such a big bad drug where as alcohol, cigarettes and marijuana is considered a social norm.
I understand how you feel, taximan89. Alcohol and nicotine are both hard drugs. LSD is a soft drug (although it is definitely a responsibility). People at school, though, seem to think it's some PCP equivalent. I've never taken acid (none here), but I've been looking into it and wanting to do it for more than a year now. You are NOT a druggie. Period. You are anything BUT a druggie. You should definitely find a new group of friends. I have some anti-acid friends that are still some of my closest friends even after I told them about my firm interest in acid. (They're against smoking and drinking, as well, though.) And does2, your post doesn't belong in this thread, to put it extremely politely.
Why not just do it by yourself? You can probably have a more enlightening trip that way. Do you have your own place? If so, just have that as your home base, put on some tunes and cruise away. Go for walks and shit. Also, is your dealer a nice guy? Maybe he'd be up for showing you the way. Also, why don't you smoke weed? The health risks from weed are mostly mental, like LSD, and in moderation it is virtually harmless. In my opinion, weed and acid go hand in hand. They make the trip so much better and prolongue the peak. The day after is also a much better experience.
From what I've read, people have different stances on whether or not pot and acid go hand in hand. I've read a lot of people say it's more difficult for them to think when they put the two together and that the trip's clearer without pot.
Pot goes with everything, I don't know what all the hype is about. OP, you need to find festivals or concerts in your area to find more people interested in what you would like to do. Rather than on a drug forum, imo. If you want to do substances your friends dont want to do, don't include them and do it alone. Or take it and go to the bar and see who you can meet.
I guess each to their own... for me, pot goes with nothing... but I must just react differently to it than others.
how the hell is he a low life? is anyone that forms any opinion on someone for being closed minded a low life? please expand further to the OP: just find friends that would be open to it, as that's how everyone starts off at some point.
