Suicide while on LSD...

^ yeah i guess you're right..

 

yeah a friend of mine took acid and this one time was just destroying everything, completely psychotic, repeating over and over again vgot to kill myself, vgot to kill myself. It was mad stuff, she was throwing herself off stairs and shit! A bridge and she would have done it for sure.

Shes has attempted suicide once before though, seemed in a really good mood when we took it...sucks

 

Yea uh.. someone with a history of suicide attempts taking acid.. that is just stupid.

 

no thats just people

*you cant trip with us audrey, you attempted suicide once* right

 

back to the future 4? - Not happining!!!

dude, thats all a myth. nobody thinks they can fly. in 1970's not sure what date some guy jumped off a roop thinking it was the only escape from a bad trip and media and anti drug people turned that into he tought he could fly.

sometimes as a joke i get up on a high place and pretend to my friends because they know i dont think that.

 

the only time i even hurt myself while on acid was when i jammed a finger while skipping rocks by a creek. i was flinging them hard and stubbed my middle finger. it hurt, but i didn't die.

while acid makes you lots of goofy things, i cannot imagine doing anything so obviously dangerous as believing i could fly and jumping off buildings. i've done a lot of swimming while on very high doses and i've never drowned or come close to drowning. in my opinion, you are still an intelligent, fairly capable human it's just that you're on acid, so you're not necessarily as rational in your decision making. regardless, i think there are basic survival instincts that will discourage you from diving out windows, if that ever--for some strange reason--becomes your goal during a trip. i wouldn't worry about it, though...

 

It was Art Linkletter's son who on LSD jumped off a building thinking he could fly....he fell to his death.

"It was Art Linkletter's son who on LSD jumped off a building thinking he could fly....he fell to his death."

It was his daughter and that is a myth, toxicology tests were done and no LSD was found in her system.

Some people may do some goofy stuff on LSD but to think you can fly would be totally delusional (and a complete and total break from physical reality), some one would most likely have to some pre-existing mental disorder for that to happen.

 

yeah i would see it more happen like you cant see anything anymore and oops, hazard.

 

we've a close family friend who had a buddy who took a really high dose and he started freaking out, only everyone else was too fucked up to realize what was going on, and the kid jumped off a cliff to end his trip... set and setting mangs...

 

You tripped near a cliff?

...

 

Richard Alpert I believe broke his arm thinking he could fly. I think that's the only corroborated "believing he could fly" story I've ever heard.

 

You have to be a fuckign idiot to have a bad trip with such an amazing drug.... evenmore jump off the roof . oh my god.. :S

 

You have to be an idiot to have such an opinion, imo. You can't place blame on a user for having a bad trip.

Perhaps in some cases they should have paid more attention to set and setting, but I've taken acid in situations where I was around awesome people I was totally comfortable with, and was in a great frame of mind beforehand, but still had a bad trip.

Your reaction to LSD depends on what sort of a person you are, and what's going on deep inside your head, and, while in some cases I'd agree it's stupid for people to take acid (like if they have a history of mental health issues, depression, suicide attempts etc), the bad trip itself doesn't make you an idiot.

 

Yes, I see your point. I was meaning for this convo to lean on the boarders of "You're very high and you don't understand what you are doing while jumping out of a window"... I haven't done or thought of these things and I can think about them if the thought actually comes up. Thanks for the interesting convo

 

hemisphere - then you have problems inside ur head and ur life... if u were around awsome ppl, at awsome place, good moood.. logically and anyhow you should have 99 % good fuckign trip... and yo ustill have bad ? Everythign is inside ur head, What you think, you become. .... =/

 

So everyone with problems in their life (even ones they're not acutely aware of) is an idiot? Gotcha.

My mind's only crime is an overactive and twisted imagination. I really can't be bothered to detail my bad trips here, but this quote from the Erowid vault sums one of my experiences up disturbingly accurately:

Some weeks later I had a trip in which I underwent full blown ego-loss, and while in my state of selflessness (totally the wrong word but you know what I mean), I believed myself to have cracked the ultimate code - understood the ultimate purpose and meaning of life. I knew EXACTLY what the human race were doing wrong, and what the true way should be.

The ride back down was a rollercoaster. I saw the human race evolve before my eyes, from cavemen through to early settlers. I built religions, and I *was* the messiah.

You have to understand thus far that none of this could be considered "bad" at all, but at this stage you also have to understand I was SO deluded I believed everything I was seeing to be 100% real. I wasn't on a drug, I really WAS the messiah. These people who had basically just come to sit by me and offer me a smoke (because I must have just been lying there looking really fucking out of it and I think they were a bit worried - we were at an outdoor party btw) were actually followers of my religion.

The problems came though, when I started to return to true reality. All these scenes before, of evolution and of religion, they were just like paintings in my mind, they weren't *actual* reality. Although the people there may have been real in a sense, it wasn't real in the sense that I knew who and where I was. It was like the most complex fantasy you can imagine, because I actually WAS the messiah. There was no small part of my true self in who I was then, it was a self completely fabricated by my mind.

At this stage, I still believed myself to have this ultimate knowledge that I had been imparting on my followers. I was in the mindset of this messiah who was ready to spread his knowledge and save the world, but suddenly, things all went very pear shaped. My perception suddenly shifted slightly, and I was overwhelmed by bright light. White, yellow and green, dappled light all over my field of vision like an abstract painting. Shortly I began to realise this was actually the tree canopy above me, and slowly it came back into focus.

I lay there staring for a while, my mind still firmly on the knowledge I had recieved. Somehow the knowledge seemed very pertinent to the trees I was staring at. Almost inextricably linked. But then, disaster. Somebody walked over my field of vision, perhaps leaning over me to see if I was okay. My vision was still VERY distorted and out of focus, and the manner in which this person leaned over was very abrupt. They were thrown onto my field of vision, and I was TERRIFIED. I was still dillusional - this figure who had thrown themselves in front of me was not to me a person, but some sort of divine guardian. A sentient being who had long since transcended our plane of reality, and was here with the sole purpose of, for whatever reason, preventing me from keeping the knowledge which I had attained.

They were here to scare it out of me, and scare me they did. Several similar looking creatures came into my field of vision, they were forcing me to forget, while all the while I was looking intently up at the trees, and I looked at them and I knew, that in the trees lay the knowledge that I had lost. The entire world was one giant CLUE, to what I had discovered. Everything natural in the world - the trees, the sky, the lakes and the ground, everything about the planet earth was a divine clue to the knowledge, but I just couldn't figure it out.

After that, I got up and walked about a bit, but I was really not in a good state of mind. I was shaken and scared. I knew the trip was almost over, and yet the residual effects were still strong. For a few hours afterwards, everyone I looked at from a distance who I didn't recognize, started to de-evolve in front of my eyes, back to the caveman like images I'd seen early in the night. Also, if anyone quickly came into my field of vision (like leaned over my shoulder or something), they would momentarily become like the "guardians" I had seen. Imagine the scene from Lord of the Rings where Bilbo suddenly becomes demon-like and grabs for the ring - it was kinda like that, only scarier.

So anyway yea, sorry if you think that makes me an idiot.

Edit: lol, did I say I wasn't going to detail my trips? Oh well you get a free story.

 

You're paying way too much attention to beaverkoffi.

 

i want to do acid soon, but now that all yins said that if you have depression or anything like that, or problems deep inside your head then you will have a bad trip. i have depression, but not severe, but i want to trip real bad.. will i have a bad trip if i trip on acid?

 

"The world of saints (devas) is said to shine with a white light and to be preceded by visions of delightful temples and jewelled mansions. The world of heroes (asuras) has a green light and is signalled by magical forests and fire images. The ordinary human world has a yellow light. Animal existence is foreshadowed by a blue light and images of caves and deep holes in the earth. The world of neurotics or unsatisfied spirits has a red light and visions of desolate plains and forest wastes. The hell world emits a smoke- colored light and is preceded by sounds of wailing, visions of gloomy lands, black and white houses and black roads along which you have to travel."

When re-entering from a trip, it is said you can choose your personality. Each colour reperesents a different personality which you are entering. You saw yellow, white and green?

hippieattheheart, you can go for acid if you want, but don't be surprised if the issues you are depressed about become 10x stronger.
