Anniversary of the first LSD trip

So as many of us may know, the anniversary Hoffman's bicycle ride is fast approaching. In case you don't know know about the bicycle ride here is the story. While re-synthesizing LSD, he accidentally absorbed a small quantity through his fingertips and serendipitously discovered its powerful effects. He described what he felt as being:

... "affected by a remarkable restlessness, combined with a slight dizziness. At home I lay down and sank into a not unpleasant intoxicated-like condition, characterized by an extremely stimulated imagination. In a dreamlike state, with eyes closed (I found the daylight to be unpleasantly glaring), I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors. After some two hours this condition faded away." Albert Hoffman 4/19/1943.


His dose was 250 micrograms of LSD. So... on the anniversary of this day in history I too have decided to ingest approximately 250 micrograms of LSD. So something i want to know is...does anybody else plan of doing something special that day?

​

 

i will trip around town on my bike with my albert hoffnam t shirt.

 

No special plans on the day, working Hopefully sometime during the anniversary week.

The story that he accidentally tripped after getting it on his fingertips is legend as I understand it. He accidentally ingested some the first time and went home, noticed effects. 3 days later he intentionally dosed the 250ug, to confirm the first time and rode home on his bicycle.

Even more compelling is David Nichols take on the story.

I am taking my very first acid trip that day! So excited!!!

 

Exciting... enjoy, be safe, come share the experience with us !

 

Well its official...i am tripping BALLS. I think ill go for a bike ride...

 

Be safe and, happy BD !

 

Yes!

 

So... I missed bicycle day with no LSD, and am now missing 4/20 with no weed.

I mean, these are the least of my concerns, in the last two days what was remaining of my life fell around my ankles. But it would have been comforting to at least have pot.

 

Same. I've never even had a 4/20 before, and the thing keeping me from it this time is no weed. Looks like this year won't be the year.

And I still have never tripped on acid.

 

so, I took lsd yesterday.. guess what happened.. Nothing .. No World Peace, No free energy, No end to world hunger.. Japan is still fucked up... Obama still fucking quite on the cannabis issue.... Gasoline haahah sky rockets and its a joke to the people that certainly dont stop sucking on the dead dinosaur piss like its crackmofuckingcocaine.. but

 

And that's what matters.

Reality exists in our heads. To a degree, if you can't fix reality, fix how you see it, fix YOUR reality.

I mean, don't escape, but do what it takes to fix what you can, and become complacent with that that's totally beyond your reach.

Just gotta laugh at how fucked we are, until we die.

 

nothing is hilarious..:smilielol5:

 

I'll be celebrating tomorrow night, got my bicycle ready.

still unsure of how many to eat though

 

All of the ones you don't send to me.

As for me got my bicycle all ready for later today. In the absence of acid, I find riding my bike rather therapeutic in and of itself. Not to say that the two of them wouldn't be better.

 

haha sweet

 

Lol I had to wait a few weeks for these, they will all be sacrificed eventually. every time I go for a bike ride on acid, I feel stronger and faster than my sober rides.

 

Since when was acid meant to be an escape from reality?

 

I encountered an individual on acid today who uses acid to escape from reality, and who was doing just that, in some of the worst imaginable ways.

There's much worse ways to escape. But it's possible. It's unpredictable and as such, ill-suited to escapism, but it can be used.

 

That's sad, considering acid is supposed to be a drug that opens yourself up to reality.

It's even been shown scientifically that our brain is able to process WAAAY more bits of information on acid, as the senses are unfiltered.
