LSD Anxiety is finally wearing off...

Ok so if you've read any of my other LSD posts you'd prolly know me as the annoying kid whining about LSD messin him up for a bit. I had pretty bad mood swings and bad social anxiety and just an overall shitty state of mind for a good 4 months or so.

I still can't smoke weed without getting sketched out but other than that it's all clearing up now and I'm feeling pretty good....my personality is coming back and all that jazz and the anxiety is pretty much gone except for the few bad days. Anyhow there are still days when I'll just feel rather spacey or down but its not anywhere near as consistent as it used to be.

So my question is...I'm going to EDC this coming saturday and I'm thinking of trippin shrooms in an attempt to reconnect with everything and get over this last hurdle and I'm just curious as to you guy's opinions. I would roll but I'm concerned about the HIGH probability of getting impure rolls and I'm thinkin maybe natural substances would be the way to go.

I've only tripped shrooms once and I was SUPER connected to everything unlike acid when I'm always in my own zone so I'm thinkin the fact that i've only ever experienced connectedness on shrooms this might influence this next one to be like that?? Idk...

So what does everyone think??? I know this isn't the shroom forum but this one gets more attention....what would you guys do??? To trip or not to trip??

 

shrooms can make you feel just as spaced out and out of it afterwards as acid . . . it's just your brain chemicals being strained. having a 'super connected' shroom trip isn't going to make your next acid trip that way btw, if thats what you were asking doesn't work like that, each trip is a unique experience.

is EDC a music fest?

 

Ya. It's a massive rave in so cal. It's moved to Vegas this year partly (mostly?) due to alot of bad publicity last year after a underage girl died. It was very cool when I went a few years back when it was smaller. It's gotten arena sized now.

 

Yea i know what you're saying....but the thing is I feel fine now and don't so much feel like my brain is out of whack like it used to be I feel like the majority of my social problems and any problems I have are really pretty much perception based at this point....So I was thinkin of trippin shrooms to just get a good experience under my belt and put the negative behind me....and I feel like with acid there's a stronger chance I'll have a similar trip to my previous acid trip.....But yea I definitely hear where you're coming from.

And yea EDC(Electric Daisy Carnival) is a big electronic music fest.

 

Well it wasn't really ego death during the bad trip...To make a long trip story short for some reason I was just having trouble communicating effectively and I was with 5 other people...only knew one of them who was also trippin with me....1 other I just met was also trippin....and the other 3 were drunk...Well my so called "friend" decided to fuck with me the whole time and just pretty much put me in a huge mind fuck. He just got everyone to act all crazy off and on and that threw me into one of those repeating loops and on top of that I was still having a hard time communicating....by that point I just couldn't decipher between when they were just messing around or if everyone around me really just was insane...it was weird...a terrible experience

So it was just bad gone to worse....Idk really if my brain chemistry has rewired that much as you say cause I feel SO much better than I did a few months ago....I really feel like it was just a really traumatic experience and threw me off mentally for a while...thats why I'm thinking a positive trip might help me out...but who knows

Oh and I also told that "friend" to fuck off a couple weeks ago and told him exactly why...I felt a lot better after that too.

 

I'm no big city detective, but I think that might have had something to do with you being on LSD

 

What year did you go? I went in 08

I saw

Evol Intent
Rabbit in the Moon
Dieselboy
Dj Dan 2x4 Donald Glaude
Moby
Paul van Dyk

EDC was very cool, it was like a theme park and a rave. My friend rolled for his first time that night, said it was the best night of his life.

 

It was 06. Before it was in LA it was at a smaller venue in San Berdoo

I mostly went to see this "band".

Honestly, I don't remember what music groups were there, and I didnt spend much time in any of the tents. Mostly outside looking at the art installations, chilling, eating/drinking. I did'nt trip.

edit: just saw they will be down your way next month. you should check em.

 

I'd try and find some ecstasy instead, the two times I've raved on mushrooms have been kind of weird. Maybe 1/2 eighth if you get some mushrooms.

 

acid doesn't actually re-wire your brain, though it can significantly change the way you think. but it seems like you just had some idiot messing with you and were really really high

taking shrooms in a huge crowded setting like that could be asking for trouble. but who knows, it might be a blast.

shrooms can be just as likely to give you a "bad trip" though. the fact that they are natural means nothing - little buggers can me harsh:devil:

 

Yea I know about set and setting...it was supposed to of been just me and my one other friend and we were at his house....but the guy we bought it from decided to stay and trip too....and then he just invited his girlfriend and some of her friends over. I wasn't down with it but it wasn't my place and I wasn't in any shape to be driving so it was a tad bit out of my control.
