Another example of "super power" vision. Everyone knows a Sasquatch can appear and disappear. LSD equalizes their invisible powers.
Long post coming, bubs. I've tried both. Shrooms are outstanding. Never taken enough to hallucinate but a few caps provide an great buzz and improved visuals. Man you become fully attuned with everything sensory related. It gives new meaning to just sitting outside and feeling the breeze. Makes you feel one with nature in that regard. Feels cleaner than an alcohol buzz, is slightly energizing, and has never left me incoherent or with a crazy hangover. Not to mention it makes everything funnier. The sex is great too. The acid I tried (2 times) was in gel tab form and well worth the experience. I did just enough to expand the horizons of my brain b/c it really opens it up in ways you've never experienced before b/c it increases brain activity and can cause a heightened sense of self-awareness. For me personally, I know it tapped into areas of creativity and analytical ability that remained permanently improved, and I'm pretty sure it helped alleviate some of my Aspergers symptoms, namely related to social anxiety stuff b/c now I can be the life of a party if I choose to. I had a couple friends at Clemson who went from being C and B students to B's and A's after a few trips. The 3 keys to taking acid are to initially ingest what you know to be a small amount b/c you can always incrementally increase it till you reach your desired level. Secondly- HAVE A GAME PLAN and be prepared b/c you can't wing it. Thirdly- DO NOT GO OUT IN PUBLIC. Learned that the hard way. lol. Leaves you constantly asking yourself if what you're currently doing is something you'd be doing sober like staring at a tie-dyed shirt on a clothing rack for 30 seconds because the colors are swirling around, true story. Makes you paranoid and totally kills your trip. My first trip went like this: I was 26 and took it with my best friend (had already tried it) when his step son had a weekend babysitter. We went the movie rental route. Started with a familiar comedy (Christmas Vacation) b/c everything is hilarious in the beginning, I'm talkin' side-hurting laughter like you've never experienced, even more so than being stoned. Followed it up with The Game with Michael Douglas b/c a few hours into your trip your brain expands during a massive release of neurotransmitters making everything immensely analytical so you want something cerebrally stimulating, so stuff like The Game, Usual Suspects, or The Matrix are a must watch. By this point your mind is impressively operating in ways like never has before. Lastly we watched The Matrix b/c of the visuals. Then we played some chess and drank some good wine (b/c of your heightened sense of taste). I know for a fact it was the best chess I've ever played. This stuff taps into the 90% of your brain that's rarely used that's for sure. If you go in prepared with a game plan, with friend(s) who have already done it, and are in a good state of mind when you do it, it can leave you with a permanently improved sense of self-awareness and improved brain functioning. It absolutely happened with me, and there are plenty of documented instances of this phenomenon. I recall the group of Duke or Harvard grad students a while back who were sitting in a room working on a project or thesis that they were all stuck on, were administered LSD and suddenly got unstuck and tore through their assignment. It was discussed during a Nat'l Geographic 1 hour special about the drug. As far as how it actually made me feel, it feels similar to shrooms, only stronger. Your senses are magnified. Kinda feel like Superman as there's a constant rush of energy & adrenaline flowing through you. Music sounds amazing, kinda like it's in 3D like when you're stoned. Like I said, it starts with everything being funny and then turns massively cerebral. Mental acuity goes through the roof and you gain the ability to super focus beyond belief. Visually, everything is intense and you'll see colors & some objects changing & swirling and have anything in your line of sight appear slightly altered the longer you stare at it. For instance, during my second trip, the paisley carpeted hotel floor leading to my room was moving in horizontal waves in front of me making it feel like I was walking on a boat, and while sitting on the toilet the clean white bathroom began changing into something reminiscent of a nasty rest stop as the colors became altered and gunk looked like it was dripping down the side of the counter top. Start off your trip by watching 2 or 3 movies that match up to the current state of your trip. Begin with a familiar classic comedy (Porky's or Christmas Vacation), then something cerebral (like the aforementioned The Game), and lastly something with outstanding visuals (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is perfect). After the movies you're ready for music paired with even stronger visuals. Hook up your computer to your big screen and play the music through whatever application syncs the video to the music. You can spend an hour staring at that alone. Have a few gallons of orange juice and some tasty sweets on hand, as well as some beer or wine to help come down at the end. Order a great pizza for dinner, delivery obviously. Your sense of touch is heightened making sex incredible at the tail end of your trip, and b/c of the energy the acid provides, you can go for hours and utterly wear the wifey out. It's a real bonding experience with whomever you trip with so make sure it's someone you get along with. If you don't overdo the quantity taken you're fully aware of your actions, and that's the only way I'd do it b/c I don't want to lose touch with reality and see sh-t sprouting from my living room floor like trees with monkeys swinging from them. Not once did I have any urges to see what it would be like to fly. Was in control of my mental state and actions. Regardless, don't look at your face in the mirror.at all. But b/c I just said that you'll do it anyways. lol. Keep in mind, all of this is coming from someone who grew up with the mentality of never ever doing drugs (including drinking) after seeing a family member ruined by crack & alcohol. I didn't drink my first beer until college and didn't try any drugs until I was mentally in a proper state and maturity level to handle it. It also helped to know that some of my successful responsible intelligent friends and coworkers can recreationally use stuff w/o it consuming them or interfering with work or family. I think it's all about the mental state you're in and reasoning behind taking something. If you're taking something as an escape then it can easily become problematic, where as if you're in a sound mental state and are only occasionally taking something to have a good time then you can control it. However if you have an addictive personality I wouldn't touch the stuff.
Jesus this is one helluva endorsement. Maybe I should grab a little before my next big poker tournament if it dials you in like that.
Sorry but I stopped reading when you mentioned FDA. Do you think the owners and execs of these major pharmaceutical companies give a sh-t whether you live or die after ingesting their drugs, some of which are known killers yet gain FDA approval anyway?! Naive, man, naive. Do some research on Monsanto and especially its ties with the FDA, and then follow it up with the drug Vioxx that killed roughly 60,000 people worldwide yet the FDA allowed its US existence for at least a year after other countries pulled the drug, providing its manufacture with an extra $billion or so in revenue in the process. Complaining about taking acid and then following it up by noting the FDA is highly hypcocritical as their pharmaceutically passed drugs kill a person every 19 minutes, bro. Not to sound crass but I'd laugh if you next tell me you ingest diet sodas or anything aspartame (NutraSweet) or sucralose (Splenda) related.
sh-t yeah it will, if you take just a tiny amount so that it's enough to open up your brain but not enough to trip your *** off or lose touch with reality. For a few hours you might actually feel what it's like to have an IQ over a hundred, putz. BTW, the week after trying it the first time I got the urge to buy Tony Robbins' How to Awaken the Giant Within and powered through it in less than a week and comprehended every bit of it. The combination of the acid followed by that book noticeably took my sense of self-awareness and an already strong understanding of the mind & human behavior to another level, plus permanently reduced my level of anxiety in social situations to that of tolerable rather than stressful. Now I have no problem talking and joking around with a group of people after getting a few beers in me where as previously not even alcohol would help.
you said you tried acid twice... you also say sex is great and that your wife loves it... so once you were with your good friend and the other you were with your wife? I'm just trying to do the math here....
lol. dick. Both times I took it with the same friend. First time I banged his wife's sister till she raised the white flag. Second time I whacked it till my hand was too tired to raise the white flag. Second time was better I think.
There are only 2 drugs I'd pay for- alcohol & shrooms. The rest depends on my mood and whether or not a friend is offering, but I won't touch any of this newer devised crap and hard stuff like meth, heroine, crack, ecstasy, tranquilizers (special k), GHB, PCP, nor any of the gasses, fumes, and sh-t requiring needles. Haven't had the desire to do acid again even though I had a good experience, however it might be a good time to hook up the jumper cables to my brain again since a dozen years have elapsed. I prefer the similar but less intense and shorter lasting high from shrooms b/c they're easier to regulate the intensity of if you wanna keep it mild, as you can take one cap and get a nice easy buzz akin to a 6 pack of beer but w/o the head fogginess, or you could go for full on intensity and take a handful, although I've never had a desire to take a handful.
Well that settles it. If taking acid "opens your brain" and I end up like Todd...phinsational. Then I will never touch the ****
Send me a six pack of Ballast Point Sculpin IPA and I'll think about sending you acid next time I purchase some.
I understand, Chris. It's tough when you gotta dumb it down for most of your friends, family, and coworkers.
Hey it's crazy all the untapped potential our brains have. Case in point, last week I dreamed I was watching Alicia Keys perform at a piano bar, and it was a killer song. I woke up thinking how great it sounded (melody, lyrics, and all). That alone is nothing unique considering she's an elite performer with an outstanding voice, however, this wasn't even one of her songs. It was totally fabricated by my subconscious. All of it. My brain contrived an entire Alicia Keys song including music in a matter of seconds yet when I'm awake I have no music playing or writing experience.
My brain has done a lot of things to, in, around, and on Alicia Keys, but a song hasn't been one. Not even close.
We know this thread was nothing more to see who dropped acid. You will never do it and that's a good thing.
I plan on taking shrooms very soon, and if all goes well i plan on trying lsd too. the idea of opening your brain really intrigues me. I'm just gonna take them with experienced people and not too much at first. I can't wait.
{walked to bedroom, picked up book} Nope, nothing happened. Didn't feel a thing. You're comparing apples to bananas here. For some people, years of reading can't expand their brain the way one good dose of acid can. Have you ever taken it? That should probably first be established before saying what is or isn't better at opening your brain.
I don't think you can grow shrooms, which are grown from feces, hydroponically. I don't think odds of contracting hep or e coli are super high(no pun) anyway.
Thanks for the compliment. As far as the ignore thing goes it's not worth the trouble, sensitive Sally.
