lsd on the brain

lsd is pretty hard on the brain.
iv started some more tertiary education now this year, just the other week. and well ofcourse you dont realise how much youve fried yourself until you go sit down in a classroom and try to learn or listen. pills would have contributed significatly. and maybe lsd doesnt do much bad shit. but do you think its highly unwise to take lsd while trying to learn. in the form of being able to concentrate that is, well cause this weekend i could do pills or lsd.
lsd would be better probably, mind you it can be distractiing.

and each time i took lsd last year i dropped out of uni, slowly i got my shit together and went back to uni, only to take lsd and stop going. i was in such a fantasy i just didnt know what i was doing. i had all these revelations that told me to stop going. so i dont want that shit happening this year.
but im sure lsd would be better on concentraion skills in class than taking pills while trying to learn.

then theres the fucks who do it all, but take the speed to get there shit done and concentrate. so just like school you get thrust into buying some crystal just to pass, is it worth it? yes.

 

umm dont do pills or lsd man. with the ammount of shit youve said you did on these forums you should be high on life for the next couple years. lol. but yeah definately dont do the lsd. i was the same way. i would do lsd and drop out of school because id have revelations that i wasnt supposed to be there and shit. to tell you the truth i still havent gone back and im happy i didnt. i found the love of my life. my parents moved away and shit and now i have a huge ass house to myself. i made alot of money and still making more. buttt its all about whats best for you man. sorry i got off topic. my advice: dont do either!

 

for real, speak for yourself.
apparently, lsd is bad on YOUR brain. this is subjective to you... i honestly don't think you cared about your education in the first place, and only did so to please your parents or some other reason like that, am i right?

 

Its sad that some people need drugs to function.

 

I don't think drugs inhibit ability to learn...

I will agree certain substance will make you less effective at the english language, or certain university tests

but ive found the knowledge I care about is untouchable by any drug. Like I was a architectural illustrator for a while, would render buildings in 3D. And like, the renderer alone, mental ray, has like some like 90 something arguments to pass to it, let alone all material settings, let alone all the theory. Then on top of that, maya, the 3d program to use when making buildings is a level of complexity in itself. Plus all the other programs I would use in my pipeline. But my point, put me on any drug, marijuana, LSD, shrooms, mescaline and I would be able to go through step by step and still explain in detail how to use maya/mental ray and all the theory behind and it would probably take me multiple days to go through it all. Really, in all honesty, I believe marijuana and LSD does me a favor by clearing out unnecessary thoughts memories and ideas, cause like I said, the ones I cared about, all my 3D knowledge, it has never touched at all. Not even daily marijuana for over a year.

 

psychedelics don't make you stupid

....but I've noticed from personal expierence that excessive use of mdma and the speed found in the pills makes you stupid.

 

it really is.

seems they are totally missing the whole point.

 

If I had an entire day of orchestra then yes!!!! I haven't tried playing music on my upright bass while tripping, something I need to try though.

But don't seriously take L and try to concentrate on learning. Drugs and school don't mix. school work kills the high. You should go to learn, expand you mind academically my friend. Don't become the stereotypical drug user.

 

So last year one weekend I ate some doses and was high till tuesday, and had class on monday. I showed up on time, out of my mind. I have to say Public Speaking class was never the same. I had a BLAST, and really conneced with the teaching- the dialogue was more animated, and the lecture felt more like a STORY, which was enthralling of course. In my personal experiance, LSD does not inhibit learning, but changes the way in which you learn. For creative purposes, there is no finer substance. For information retention, i'd say it dosn't really help. IF you feel that being around sober people wouldn't detract from the experience, and you have a curiosity that needs to be satisfied, I would SUGGEST dosing and going to school. Worst case, you leave early and go to a park to meditate and write about why the experiment didn't go as planned.

 

Furthermore, taking pills, speed, and the like is most certainly going to effect you physically, and therefore mentally. (particularly with prolonged use) MDMA is terrible for your brain in high doses and will lead to depression when your seretonin production goes to hell. There WILL be a trade off. If you study harder on speed, chances are youll begin to enjoy it. These are ADDICTIVE substances unlike LSD so the more you use, the more you'll use. It dosn't take a month of pulling late-night study sessions to turn you into a full-on tweeker... You get spun and youll be spun till you're out of MONEY. so fuck college right?

 

i dont know what i was thinking when i mentioned the speed thing, iv done that shit allready. i know about it.

its not school, but after school like uni.

and to the kid who said i dont want to learn, ofcourse i do. i went to uni last year, and failed so i want to go to tafe this year to get my diploma so i can do what i am set out to do, which is to become a cop. yes i will be a cop in a year and a bit.

you know i am certain of one thing. you could alot of drugs, more than me or you, and with the right mindset and the dedication and motivation you could pass some hectic exams im sure. its more that the drugs leave you felling scattered or depressed and you keep putting off your work, and before you know it youve dropped out. i know it happend to me.



some people on this forum are to hypocritical or somthing. too somthing... i dont know.

 

i bring up this topic again.

i ask myself, i ask you. what is lsd doing to our brains?
i ask cause i dosed on the weekend, and well im trying to do this diploma, and since i dosed it has severely impacted on my learning ability.

i choose to do lsd instead of pills thinking it would be better.
but i can hardly read now. i am stuttering like a speed addict. and i am stressed to the max. i cant focus or concentrate. i feel like i lost alot of my brain.
any bit of work im doing takes hours which it shouldnt.

so what than really has lsd done to my brain?
fuck it when i see it like this. fuck it all.

 

You're depleting your seratonin, man.

Give it a break for a while, or microdose instead.

 

Question regarding pills - I understand and learned the hard way how bad they are for your serotonin levels but does anyone know of any evidence that proves long term dysfunction in your ability to create serotonin?

 

i havent done pills in 3 weeks. altho it would still contribute.
lsd seems to me like it is doing bad things to the brain, apart from just your psychological trip.

 

hey pete out of curiosity, how many trips do you think you have had?

 

High doses too often will really wear down on your neurons and nervous system (This is just a speculation, I have absolutely no evidence, just personal experience)
like popping your fingers 1,000 times a night wearing down on the cartilage.
That's why you have to space it out.
Months at a time.
Allow yourself to heal.

You have to balance it out, my friend.

I know back in the day when I was dosing every other day I started to feel like a schizophrenic.

Balance is key.

And microdosing is an entirely different thing.

 

how about you just stop doing drugs in general? seriously, trip maybe once a month (after a break) if you can handle it, and if you desire it. if you haven't heeded that advice by now i doubt this post will make any difference. somebody else already mentioned this, but i'm sure your serotonin is playing a huge role.. serotonin is vital in a psychedelic experience, so just give it a rest from all drugs, especially pills if you want to let it replenish. once it does, you should notice and uplift.. meditate... then trip again if you're able to handle it and have a grip on yourself. drink a lot of water.
i feel like saying that is useless, but oh well.

 

actually acid would only inhibit your conscious to the point of knowing youve changed but you dont know what has changed in you

 

i just started a new job. i went through 5 weeks of training (in a class like college) and i am now into my second week on the job (still learning). i smoke weed after work but no trips on my days off until i am comfortable at my new job. in a couple of months i will enjoy a much needed trip.

when it comes to music and art, psychedelics are amazing for learning and growing but anything in a class room or a job that i have to force myself to be interested in, LSD will only make learning more difficult than it has to be. once i know what i am doing at work i will be tripping again. there is a time and a place for LSD and a good trip can leave you a little spacey and possibly distracted for days to weeks after words.

but that’s just me

why dont you try going a couple of weeks without drugs or alcohol? haha,, ya didnt think you would be into that. maybe just have a couple of beers or smoke a fatty and stay away from the other stuff for a while.

the pills are definitley messing you up more than the lsd is!!! lsd might space you out a bit but pills will drain your happy juice in a way that takes a very long time to recover when you do it in excess.
