Understanding LSD

Dont go doin so much acid you cant talk for your first time, that whould be unreasonable. The person dosing you will make sure you get the proper dose.

The conversations will not be "normal" though obviously. And I really doubt that you'll want to waste your time staring into a computer.

If you try to act normal, you will realize that ACT-ing is not as much fun as just going with the flow and BE-ing.

 

.....15 minutes after I took 4 hits already? hahahah just joking

It's like a "First timer parody" haha

 

depends on dose. my last trip i was incapable of speaking for the first hour at least after the trip really kicked in. i started coming too, and remember saying to my friends it was the first time i seen them. just real weird shit. and saying i seen them the first time all night, even tho i was with them all night. and then looking at there faces and again tho in a differnt way looking at there faces and seeing sooo much detail sayin i seen them again for the first time ever.
so there was a period of not being able to talk, only stutter.
then talking weird shit.
then i guess when you start to know whats happening again you can talk normally.
as for talking to your mum you would sound very perculiar i can only imagine.

 

I don't find speach is all that "impaired" for me, it's just that conversations are held in pieces, with half-sentences, and like only a few words at a time. Most communication between two people on acid is non-verbal, and sometimes I feel as if I can even read the other person's mind. Sometimes you can use words that wouldn't make sense normally, like "watch out for them crazy whipping trees" -- I said this while walking on a path in the woods to a friend because I was pushing these tree branches aside which might "whip" back and hit him. Or, you could say things like "it's raining electricity", and the other person would understand that the rain looks like some sort of energy is coming off each droplet, and looks like it might be electrically charged (in reality, it was just light reflecting off of each individual droplet, making each one stand out with intense clarity). That's one great thing about acid, that you always come up with the sweetest names for objects and nicknames for people.

The Paintbrush will live on in my memory as the single greatest name for a pipe ever... fucking EPIC night... carried that paintbrush everywhere..

 

if you dont let it you are fighting it and that will only give you problems.

and people who use lsd just to get fucked up usually grow out of it fairly quickly. if they keep getting fucked up for many years they wind up fucked up. well at least in my 'opinion' from my experience. i know a few people who 'abused' lsd and none of them trip anymore and if they do they have a very strange trip indeed.

lsd should be respected! if you want to get fucked up drink some booze or do a line of coke. most people figure this out on their own pretty fast. it is usually not necessary to tell people that you must respect lsd because all they need to do is trip and find out. sure they might say it was a blast but if it didnt change them for the better what did it do? and why do they no longer trip??? the great thing about lsd is that you can do it for many years. the dose is so low that there is little to no harm physically. so if they are not stopping for their physical health what are they stopping for? mental health maybe, or did it become old, or maybe they are secretly scared of it.

 

lsd is in a leage of its own.

as with anything, when you start taking a new drug, for exampe lsd, you test it out, and ofcourse it may mean you "abuse" it for a short stance, and realise shit, and then carry on with even more respect for lsd. its just apart of learning. some people may not realise that at all.

see for me i allways love to smoke weed as a kid not to just get hi, but to discover all the amazing things. i love to think about the universe and existence and so on.
and acid i love for all the mind effects and the self discovery and deep thinking.
mind you i base my thoughts on real world things now. i went to insanity with the endless questions about reality. if i went into lsd now-a-days with those thoughts i would go insane for sure. i base my acid thoughts and trips on real world things. im sane for it.

 

i may not have respected lsd for what it is the first few times but i would not say that i abused it. i never used the drug to get fucked up. even my first trip i treated it like a new substance that i had not yet experienced. most people assume it is something it is not before they try it or they are stupid enough to think that it is like other drugs. i was always aware that lsd and other psychedelics are in a league of their own because the people who use such drugs are so different than those who drink and prefer cocaine. although i did not fully respect psychedelic drugs in the beginning, my open minded approach allowed for a positive learning experience. although i was open and willing to learn how to use this drug wisely it still took me a few years of tripping before i respected lsd in a way that i could enjoy wonderful trips in a positive set and setting.

 

I had to go through my time of over-indulgence with LSD to figure it out. It never harmed me. I'm the better for it. I'd say its common, to take things a little too far before you figure out what works best for you.

Take acid to get wasted and you will get wasted

 

Yeahh! This is the stuff they don't talk about on Erowid, bros and sissies.. the first 3 big posts on the first page, like right on the nail, BAM!

 

yee fuk erowid! wooooh - power to the people!!!?

 

understanding lsd is understanding you.

 

I always get the feeling that it is tapping into the unified subconcious of our living culture, which is still ourselves keep in mind, but yeah I feel like when certain concepts sort of enter my brain and work themselves out like it is taking ideas out of the huge communal well of thoughts that are just kind of floating around in some other-dimensional space.

 

This is a fantastic post, thanks for your thoughts on LSD.

I agree acid is a wonderful thing. But there is nothing wrong with taking LSD simply to have a good time. I've done it both ways, you can't judge people on that, or else it is turning into a sort of "psychedelic hypocrisy" which I avoid like the plague. I used to think I was better than people because I wasn't taking it to get fucked up, and really... it just inflates the ego.

People can do what they want, and its all personal choice...
