Has anyone ever...

Oh Porkstock, nice porkpage you got there, and I think you may have mail

 

Mr Writer how do you know that's what you looked like? Did you look in a mirror? I have found the mirror not be an accurate reflection on acid. Would be interesting to see a picture of yourself to look at later and see if it matches the inward perception.

 

this is true, and alter the self-model one has in one's head

 

In answer to your question, no I don't feel "guilty" for taking psychedelics around my wife. She knows my history and that I still smoke weed regularly and that I am an advocate for psychedelics. I don't go out of my way to make it known if I'm tripping, but I also won't lie about it if asked. I have tripped on mescaline, mushrooms, and LSD around the wife about 10 times total in twenty years. She never suspected a thing, and a few of those times I was very, very, high.

So the being worried about keeping a secret isn't present whatsoever, it's not a secret, just something I haven't brought to the forefront.
Marriage can work out better that way at times.

I'm sure when you are approaching your twentieth anniversary you will understand what I mean better.

 

yup cuz we all know from you that old age is the only way to gain knowledge

 

I had the smilie after the wrong sentence
Is that better now, (I meant it as a joke)

 

i know you're just joking, you should know i'm doing the same

 

Whenever I trip at my house with friends or when I go out and know I'm tripping I TELL my mom so that she knows I'll be preoccupied for about 10 hours. She used to do LSD when she was in her twenties so she knows what it's like and knows I'm having the time of my life so it's never a big deal when I'm around her when I'm tripping. I wish all parents were open to this stuff.

 

I love your mom now :afro:
But really, it doesn't make sense that parents aren't open to this.
I think it stems from the fact that they may have been fed the myths and such about lsd and never found the actual facts.
Like MY dad has tried shrooms, and he was ok with me doing shrooms (not hiding them from him), but he never tried LSD because of the myths and he is still afraid of it. My dad is from the era that he could have easily tried LSD with the hippies, but he chose not to.

Now that we know LSD is essentially harmless, especially when compared to other things they are ok with like drinking and such.

 

Lol, it was funny when my parents tried to come up with an excuse for me to stop using acid and all they could come up with was flashbacks

 

^^^yeah, a bad trip and flashbacks were the worst things that health class (in middle school/high school) could say about LSD. those descriptions were the first thing that got me interested in trying acid. you get hallucinations? you can't OD?! sweet.

 

Same here, lsd info in health class is what started my interest in lsd.
It is funny how they try to teach that, but it is so hard to describe that they just use words like bad, and nightmare and stuff. Maybe it is, but its not as bad as it seems.

 

Never got busted by my mom or anyone. We did acid in school. Between classes we would know who was on it by the big grins and wide eyes. The last time I tripped I ended up in the emergency room getting my ankle stitched. I was just starting to trip and was in the garden and tripped on a hoe. Sliced the skin next to the achilles tendon. HArdly any blood. Good thing.lol I put a bandage and duct taped it and drove to the ER. It wasnt scary or freaky like I would have thought. The lighting was weird. Fluorescent lights on acid suck. I've tripped dozens of times at Dead shows. I'd trip tonight but its hard to find when you don't go to bars or hang out at pool halls.

 

ive been around my mum before
i came home from a concert early once while i was peaking and had a conversation about how lovley the day was
and once she came in whoile i was watching the yellow submarine on christmas eve trippin
never suspected a thing, was kinda nice

 

and bad trips. Cant say I have not ran to my parents for help when I was having my first few bad experiences because I didnt know what the fuck was happening to me. :sunny:
