LSD Myths...(feel free to contribute if you know one)

The sitter part is very true.

 

lol i love these ones...
theres a couple guys at work that did alot of acid during the 70s (probably cleaner and stronger then todays anyway)

and they talk bout the times when they got 'too much' strychnine
like wtf 1st off no you didnt.. and 2nd.. what you mean 'too much' lol

they wont believe me.. i guess this is the one thing they think the govt and police officers are right about..

they say.. it makes your stomach tight, and limbs go numb, and vibrations up your back....

then I showed them part of 'the psychedelic experience' and the 'symptons of ego loss' which match up with their 'symptoms of strychnine' and they still dont believe me..

like wtf if the tibetan book of the dead converted over explains these bodily symptons..

do you really think they were on strychnine 100s of years ago when they were meditating and dying/rebirthing

the also wont look at any testing results I showed them from tests not done by govt or anti-drug agencies...

it really gets on my nerve

plus they dont understand that doses are millionths of a gram which is an incredibly tiny amount.. very few things are active enough at such a small dosage...

god now i'm all worked up again

 

story ive heard about taking acid, im wondering if its true
(fyi, the story is better if you have an actual peice of paper)

your brain is like a flat perfect peice of paper, when you take acid it fold up into a paper airplane and flys around a bit for your acid trip, but then when you come off the acid the plane unfolds but your brain is left with creases from your trip

true? whats with the long term effects?

 

I fail to understand your analogy...What are the creases?

 

the creases are like permanent damage to your brain..i dont know if its true or what, thats why i asked, my friend wants to try acid and im a little worried that hes gonna get all fucked up

 

Theres been no evidence proving that. The only real danger of LSD is having a bad trip, usually happens when the user is in unfamiliar surroundings or in a situation that they're uncomfortable with. Best thing you could do for your friend is to be the trip sitter.

 

some of the stuff people call permenant damage.. isnt really damage at all

like for example.. learning to activate these parts of your brain without the need for a drug I would consider one of the most rewarding and best parts about it.. but then thats considered bad permenant damage by alot of people

like people want to take acid and then sorta forget bout it afterwards.. like a little vacation... they dont walk away from it thinking.. wow.. look whats really out there.. they dont incorperate it into thier minds/lives in anyway except when something negative happens

i mean dont get me wrong.. sometimes I wish i never did any psychedelics becuase I cant live with this knowledge in this reality.. err maybe i mean I dont want to live in this reality... theres such a better place you could be.. indescribable in words.. plus reality seems like such a fake lil game now... things that the majority of people put a high importance on.. i just see as being a waste, being an ego-game, robotic, etc...

but i would have to say the positive far far far outways the negative (in my case.. tho there are those depressing days where everything is just shitty either way lol, but i wouldnt say thats cuased by tripping)

like say the positives are the grand canyon.. then the negatives would be this little crack in my driveway

but thats my case

In November of 1953, the first LSD-related death occurred. There is little doubt that the suicide of Dr. Frank Olson is the origin of the popular myth that people who take LSD are likely to jump from windows. Olson was unwittingly dosed with LSD during a three-day work retreat for CIA and Army technicians in the backwoods of Maryland. Olson, who had never ingested drugs before, was upset that he had been given LSD against his will. He became very withdrawn and depressed under the influence of the powerful substance and remained so after its effects subsided. When Olson returned home from the retreat he asked his boss to fire him, claiming that his behavior had ruined the LSD experiment that his colleagues had undertaken the preceding weekend. Three weeks later, Olson jumped head first through a closed window, falling ten stories to the pavement below.

his body was invaded by strangers. there is nothing worse than that. Being controlled against your will. Maybe he was a naturally controlling person and just couldn't handle the acid or the invasion of his personal space.

 

or maybe he was like me and spent his entire trip digging itno the demons that haunt his mind. I heard about the doses they gave those cats back then, they were astronomically large. I had a bad one off a large dose, took like 7 months to really get over the fears I had induced and the conclusions I had come too. Some days, I still wonder.........
And I was a fairly experienced user at that point. I can only imagine how a complete non-user would react.

 

LSD and pot and Mescal makes everyone who takes it to a mad person, insaned, perverted, in the Church where i was till the age of 13, the priest said, it makes you a slave of the devil.

 

I was doing some reading in this book and Tim Leary explains a little bout all the strychnine rumors being started...

It was orginially a friend of his had done Synthetic Psilocybin (mind to late 60s i believe) and he quickly noticed it wasnt pure so he ran off to tell a friend not to take it and then returned and said some goodbyes to his friends/family and fell into a coma and died... lab tests reported traces of strychnine in the pills...

leary says that it was a batch of 'synthetic psilocybin' pills that were found to have strychnine and the press (and later govt & police) have claimed it as being lsd with strychnine

I've been unable myself to find any non-govt non-antidrug related test results that show any lsd being found with strychnine

 

*gives lsd a big hug* there are always roumors and bs about drugs, especially lsd. but hey if people want to believe its going to make your brain turn into a puddle of blood and your spine collapse and you turn into a bird and fly off of roof tops to your death, let em! more for those of us who are not so easly overwhelmed into believing the most of assanine rumors.

 

True that brother! ive learned not to bother trying to show people the truth...usually they just disrespect you thinking your some kind of idiot for not going with the crowd and believing everything you're told, just share your experiences with friends who think like us.

 

Sounds interesting mr government agent . Just kidding...but i did put a shaving razor in my mouth before my first time doing a large dose of shrooms...makes me wonder if anyone is capable of jumping of a bridge on a hallucinogen. Anyone got headlines?

 

right on! its kinda sad, but not everyone is mentally geared or comfortable enough to experience one of the most enlightening experiences i have come across.

 

Yea, the psychedelic experience tends to appeal to a certain type of person. Namely the artistic type...the type of person with stronger emotions.

 

i read on erowid in the lsd myth section about a myth created in the 70'S that if you took lsd 7 times you are legally insane and cant testify in court. now ive never used lsd before but from the people i know who have on top of MANY other drugs they dont seem insane to mee. probably another government lie to protect themselves from the users developping better knowledge realising the stupiditys of the governement. they surely wouldnt want him/her exposoing any truths so they consider him/her insane.
