-- Posted by Berend at 6:34 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 Sup peeps! Can anybody recommend LSD? I know that health wise it does practically no damage, but I was wondering what the experience was like... You know, the kind of stuff they don't tell you about while they brainwash you =) x -- Posted by portrait of a troll at 6:35 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 dont do drugs -- Posted by S K A at 6:35 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 it's like shrooms x2, try shrooms first before you do acid. -- Posted by andriaaa at 6:36 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 hm whats with the acid theme tonight. it's cool if you're with people you're close with and in a safe environment. everything you feel on it can get really overwhelming but you have to sit back and enjoy it. -- Posted by Berend at 6:38 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 Quote: from portrait of a troll at 2:35 am on Jan. 4, 2009 dont do drugs None of that crap please, way past that stage! Quote: from S K A at 2:35 am on Jan. 4, 2009 it's like shrooms x2, try shrooms first before you do acid. Tried shrooms, quite liked them. Didn;t get hallucinations, just giddy =) -- Posted by SomeRandomKid at 6:38 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 everything seems exaggerated... -- Posted by Acustico23 at 9:47 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 I highly recommend acid to anyone that wants to try it. A low dose acid trip is very mangeable, more so than mushrooms in my opinion. -- Posted by Mikexx187 at 2:13 am on Jan. 4, 2009 How long does an acid trip last for?is there anyway to stop it if nessecary? -- Posted by Xusk at 5:01 am on Jan. 4, 2009 It's a psychedelic hallucinogen that should be only taken with respect, it's far from a high. -- Posted by Wilder at 9:58 am on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from Mikexx187 at 3:13 am on Jan. 4, 2009 How long does an acid trip last for? That's kind of hard to answer directly, because while you're feeling the LSD for upwards of ten hours, you won't be tripping hard for that many; usually the peak is 3-6 hours long depending on how much you took. is there anyway to stop it if nessecary? Xanax or seroquel will end a trip prematurely, as will any 5-HT2A antagonist, though the effects of the latter are extremely unpleasant. -- Posted by yourbrainonsaget at 10:36 am on Jan. 4, 2009 Yeah I would and I would recommend it over mushrooms in my opinion; even for a first timer. I think you would have a less chance of panic on lsd in my opinion.  Shrooms can get too mind bending/blowing at times in my opinion. Just remember amount, environment, and people involved have a big effect.  peace. -- Posted by Rikk at 11:12 am on Jan. 4, 2009 sure at least once in a lifetime -- Posted by InsaneBlue at 11:17 am on Jan. 4, 2009 I haven't ever taken it, but from what I've heard from people who have and etc, you really need to respect it. One trip can literally drive you crazy, and you'll stay that way for the rest of your life.' If you do want to take it, start so low you barely feel anything,and work up slowly. Don't get cocky, your sanity could be at stake. -- Posted by Rikk at 11:22 am on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from InsaneBlue at 3:17 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 I haven't ever taken it, but from what I've heard from people who have and etc, you really need to respect it.

LSD can basically render you schizophrenic for the rest of your life by triggering latent genetic *biases?* (I forget the word they use for those). Anyways, I've seen it happen, and I'm sure beyond a doubt there are stories about it on Erowid. Plus there's stuff like HPPD, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinogen_persisting_perception_disorder, which may not be a psychotic illness, but still not a fun one to have for the rest of your life. -- Posted by Rainbow Blight at 2:13 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from InsaneBlue at 1:16 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 LSD can basically render you schizophrenic for the rest of your life by triggering latent genetic *biases?* (I forget the word they use for those).

Yeah, my brother has this though he has only taken LSD twice, whereas I've taken it many, many times and never got HPPD.  It's a rare side-effect and most people don't get it. -- Posted by InsaneBlue at 2:27 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from Rainbow Blight at 2:13 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from InsaneBlue at 1:16 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 LSD can basically render you schizophrenic for the rest of your life by triggering latent genetic *biases?* (I forget the word they use for those).

That article doesn't say that LSD helps Schizophrenics. It said that people on LSD experience not only similar mental states when compared with Schizos, but similar neurophysical states as well. Meaning that by testing people on LSD, they can gain insight into how Schizophrenia affects the brain. So basically, taking LSD is a little bit like being temporarily Schizophrenic. That would suck to take a couple hits and have fucked up vision for the rest of your life -- Posted by Rainbow Blight at 4:12 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from InsaneBlue at 2:27 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 That article doesn't say that LSD helps Schizophrenics.

Yeah, I guess I should have elaborated more.  What I meant was that it could be used to eventually help schizophrenics by creating new drugs based on/similar to that.  Basically what I understood from the article is that the unnamed "second drug" that targets glutamate receptors would nullify the hallucinogenic effects of LSD (or the hallucinations brought on by schizophrenia) and basically stop the trip (if on LSD) or prevent hallucinations in the cases of schizophrenia.  So basically what I'm saying is that it can be helpful in the treatment and knowledge of schizophrenia. Also, I've never heard of LSD rendering you permanently schizophrenic.  Are there any articles on this? -- Posted by InsaneBlue at 4:35 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from Rainbow Blight at 4:12 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from InsaneBlue at 2:27 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 That article doesn't say that LSD helps Schizophrenics.

Are there any articles on this? Scientific research on that issue is a bit limited actually. My main source is a guy I knew who lives a few blocks over. He was institutionalized for over a year after one trip and is probably going to be on anti-psychotic medication for the rest of his life. Such anecdotal evidence is plentiful. I did look at Erowid about an hour ago and there are indeed such cases written about there there. I personally wouldn't write them off, but it is fair to disregard them if you wish since people say shit sometimes. -- Posted by dunebug at 3:06 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 It depends how much you take. I tried it once years back, my friend and I split one tab and the tab was the size of a tiny lego square. It made us both supper happy and giggily for a few hours but that was about it. -- Posted by michaelb15 at 3:26 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from Berend at 9:34 pm on Jan. 3, 2009 Sup peeps!

You know, the kind of stuff they don't tell you about while they brainwash you =) x Take the blue pill and you will wake up in your bed and you will not remember a thing.. take the red pill and see how deep the rabbits hole really goes. LSD can really do one of 4 things to you 1) Make you giggly n lightly confuze/trip ya out for a few hours.. (light dose ~50-100uG) 2)Completly shatter your sense of reality as you know it, and your stuck having to clense/rebuild your mental self from the ground up (medium-high dose ~150-300uG) 3)You are mentally (re)born to the truth (high dose ~400+ uG) 4) You fail to comprehend your own reality, and it turns into a bad trip, which could be the worst experience of your life. (Athough could be very meaningful) (medium-high dose) -- Posted by Micus at 3:35 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Who the fuck in their right minds would take more than 100 uG? Fucking irresponsible, is all. LSD is a powerful drug and the mind is a delicate thing. -- Posted by michaelb15 at 4:03 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from Micus at 6:35 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Who the fuck in their right minds would take more than 100 uG? Fucking irresponsible, is all. LSD is a powerful drug and the mind is a delicate thing. I think anything below 100uG is just toys with ur mind.. Makes things a little more prenounced.. you can find "yourself" if you kno what your looking for, but other then that it would just be a fun time. I think a true LSD experience is a time of "spirital clensing" which I find very hard to do with less then 80-100uG. -- Posted by Micus at 4:14 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from michaelb15 at 7:03 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Quote: from Micus at 6:35 pm on Jan. 5, 2009 Who the fuck in their right minds would take more than 100 uG?    Fucking irresponsible, is all.

I've had quite spiritual experiences on two tabs, thank you. I wouldn't want to know what that's like.. too scary. To each their own, I suppose.
