LSD

Recommended Posts

Someone suggested a thread for the discussion of LSD and its effects. Given the new LSD therapy that’s being tried for depression (I’m sure among other things), sounds pretty timely to me.

I only did it a few times; it lasts way longer than usual in me apparently (visual hallucinations 18 hours later still), so it seemed smart to quit. Not life-changing, other than that I can still make the sky turn pink sometimes :$. My best memory is of floating in the air behind my boyfriend as we walked down the street.

But it’s an interesting thought that it can be used to build thought channels.

I recently watched a Netflix documentary on Ritalin and Adderall. In the end, they stated that some are using micro-doses of psychedelics as performance enhancers.

There appears to be a lot more openness around research into medical use of illegal drugs, which I think is a good thing. Apparently MDMA can be useful in PTSD therapy.

Sadly, my acid experiences were all too frequent. With me the trip was a hoot but coming down was mortifying, end of the world stuff. Bad idea for someone who already has emotional problems.

I think it's just one more drug to mask real problems. During my divorce I was prescribed Lexapro. The doctor told me it was to take the tops off the highs and lows. To me it had a numbing effect (and a really bad effect on Mr. Happy). Once I stopped I realized I was still in the same place I'd been prior to taking it.

I did acid mostly as a teenager. 15 to 19. It was almost always good Saturday night fun. Almost all were with groups of 5 to 10 friends. Almost all involved large amounts of beer drinking, which appeared to have no effect at all other than thirst quenching. I'm sure we were all very drunk too, but we did not notice for some reason. Many of my best memories are of events that happened while tripping. Many of the most dangerous things that I'm lucky to have survived as well.

Yes, it did give me the feeling of having profound insight. But I believe that is an illusion like all things drugs give you. I am not surprised to hear that there is interest in hallucinogens as potential therapies.

I'm thinking of long term changes from only a dose or two that people don't even usually consider. I think it was Peter Wright, I'd have to dig the books back out, who was a hard core by the book MI-5 agent. Later though he decided that the whole cloak and dagger thing was wrong, wrote a tell all book and moved to Australia to raise sheep.
Oh, and he took LSD as part of the research into taking it as a spy tool.
Coincidence? Maybe, but maybe not. And I know this is getting into colander hat territory but I wonder if the CIA didn't figure out that yes, this change of world view was a side affect of LSD and that's why they buried it as deeply as they could. If there is any truth to that theory, or even the possibility of it, they'd definitely want to keep that fact secret while suppressing LSD use as much as possible.

I've been waiting 25 years for flashbacks everyone warned me about. I'm starting to get impatient.

It has been said that Steve Jobs said that taking LSD was one of the two or three most important things he had done in his life. Apocryphal or not, I can relate to, and agree with, the sentiment.*

In the other thread, where I posted another Jobs quote, he mentioned that you can't remember that world when you come back to this one. In my experience, it's difficult, but not impossible. It's extremely easy to forget to try.

I've dosed with people plenty of times when I was younger, but the trips that I recall all of these years later almost all involved me taking a big dose and going off to be alone in a safe space with appropriate music.

A lot of people can't handle being alone after a big dose. It makes one too introspective. Letting go and trusting the drug … euphoric cerebral adventures through my own mind, thoughts, and memories, I can't think of a more enjoyable way to spend an evening. Sadly, it's been many years.

I was once attending an aircraft weight and balance class. The instructor, who had a reputation for being difficult with respect to his personality. It was a class of 12-16, I think. The instructor walks in and asks, "Who here knows what lysergic acid diethylamide is?" Except he pronounced it lysergic acid diethylameedee. I raised my hand (a bit confused, but I'd just passed a drug test to get into the class). He looked at me, nodded, and moved straight to the material of the class.

Shortly after I moved to Deland in 2001, I was in the trailer park with Air Jose. I had notice some fire ants or some other native wild life near by. Jose said something to the effect of, "you've dropped acid in the past two years, haven't you?" After I admitted having done so, he claimed he could usually tell. It seemed to him that people are more curious about the world around them for a couple years after an acid trip, and it shows.

I recall reading a counterculture giant (Hunter S. Thompson?) talk about, when the time came, he wanted to go out with a syringe full of LSD. That would suit me just fine. Not that I'm in any sort of hurry, but I can't think of a better way to leave this world.

I think most of us figured out that the strychnine thing was just legend early on. But what about that other common belief about acid.
That different batches had different affects. Aside from dose, is there anything that can be different between one batch of lsd and another?

I went to a science-intensive school in Texas. We said that California acid was popular in Texas, and that Texas acid was popular in California (implying surreptitious use of the chemistry lab by upperclassmen).

Probably not, but it sounded good at the time :D

Is there an actual known lethal dose of LSD? I've read about people thumb printing. Never got near far enough deep into the culture to experience that.

Most I've taken is ~750 mics. It was a wild ride. My most influential trips have been by myself. Deeply introspective. Most of it's use has been recreational though. Saw a couple Cirque du Soleil in Vegas at ~300 mics. That was an experience.

I'm about due again for a little contact with the other side now. But time is in such short supply now that I'm older. Definitely not like my younger days when I had nothing but time.

Not according to Erowid. One estimate suggested (quoting from memory, because I've already closed the tab) "far above 20 mg, taken orally." Clearly I've never treated this as a front burner project! :D

fanya

Most I've taken is ~750 mics.



I've taken lots of hits at once, but I have no idea what the actual dosage was. I was too far removed from the chemists.

I will address your question in three aspects.

First, I am not uptight. I have peace of mind in terms of Whose I am in relation to other persons.

Second, my imagination, no doubt, travels in a different realm than yours or some others here in the SC. I am concerned with the spiritual matters. That is how my spirit interfaces with the Holy Spirit and how do I broaden that interface. I realize that not many have the same interests. I am intrigued by those who do.

And lastly, I am stuck in my ways because I was and am born again in Christ. I have received distinct experiences that have confirmed my place in God's will for my life. My rewards strengthen my motivation to continue in the direction I chose.

I hope that helps.

Jesus Christ provides salvation to your suffering and condemnation by His shed blood on the cross. If you think you are strong enough on your own you will not turn to Him. I wasn't and I did.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
