your right, trippedelia. if you actually look up the meaning of schizophrenia, it consists of symptoms like delusions, and psychotic episodes. now im sure if you take lsd and other drugs you'll become a little more open minded and maybe even a little weird and mumble to yourself and shit. but that isnt psychotic episodes or delusions, is it? i watched a show on schizophrenia the other day, these guys were obviosly schizo, grabbing at things in the air, pulling invisible things off their necks and throwing them away, etc. myself am illergic to caffeine, it causes schizophrenic like symptems, no joke - organic brain syndrome. apon ingestion of caffeine, iv freaked the fuck out, i mean with real delusions, and real psychotic breaks. i prayed to aliens to contact me through an M&M tube, i shook and ran around the house for an hour shaking like a lunatic when i suddenly realised i was taken by aliens as a child. it makes you feel like your loosing grip of reality, like your perception could fall out of your head at any moment. it feels like your controlling yourself remotly ffrom outer space. as well as shifting states of consciousness, and jumbled speech, obbsessive , glassy eyes. i beleive that is somwhat like what a shizo patient would be experiencing.
I know what a schizo is, this kid ive known since elementary school has it (not from drugs altho did lead him to do a lot of drugs), he says he sees people and they tell him to do things and shit, he has to take medicine that pretty much fucks up his memory so he cant remember shit but at least he doesnt see things as much. But the kid i was talkin about before is pretty much experiencing the same things which ive come to believe is from taking too many psychadelic drugs, i mean dont get me wrong i dont think this happens to many people and ive taken them with no problem, but this kid now steals shit from his own house, talks to people that arent there and can hardly carry on a conversation with someone else, he also joined the army recently but didnt make it out of boot camp because they put him on "psychological leave" so no offense but I'm pretty sure this kid is a schizo and he didnt have any of these symptoms until after he started acid and shrooms
it has fucked me up for the rest of my life i guess but its ok... man they say schizophreniform disorder...bah just a change, cool in a way but hard to cope with reality, thats the thing...the split mind....the magician, the headache...duality i think visual hallucinations are pretty rare with schizophrenia...some have voices that tell em what to do...personally its like my thought is echoed and i kinda hear it not like from the exterior though, like half the time, no fuckin take of control
I've never had any long lasting effects past the trip itself, then again I've never taken a ton of doses at once...at worst, I'll get trails sometimes for a couple of days afterwards. Everyone is different though.
Since I have tripped multiple times on shrooms and have dealt with the severe mental downset of it I will explain to those who dont know. People with pre-existing mental problems like anxiety and depression should probably stay away from psychedellic drugs like acid or shrooms mainly because they tend to trigger it in those people. But it doesnt mean that so called normal people arent going to have anxiety and depression issues after their trip, it just means its less likely.
if you try to learn from your trips and read some buddhist stuff you can get more aware of your psyche through the use of lsd. i hate it when people are afraid of being skizo - or when they talk shit about "it runs in the family" ... or whatch out for this and that. man just stay focused and use it to learn! that's all ther eis to it. when younger i was kind off a freaky kid - always to much energy - alot of talking - strange dellusions - peaking emotions and al that stuff. 50 shrooms trips and 30 lsd trips later - i'm relaxed - focused - aware ... the mind is like clay - SHAPE IT!
