Acid as a more intense form of being stoned?

As opposed to Huxley's 'door' to a higher consciousness, which could apply to acid?

 

I dunno, haven't done LSD.

 

not at all...i wish it was...but definitley not at all....

 

Weed is kind of like a milder combination of multiple things. Its sedative, numbing, energizing and/or calming. Different weed DEFINITELY makes a difference in high, sometimes, I wont like certain weed. Weed in extremely large amounts makes me immobile and essential unable to do anything. I haven't done extremely large amounts of acid, but medium doses (3-5 hits of month old liquid) are completely manageable. Sometimes sight can falter, but I'm almost always completely capable of functioning and always feel alert, while knowing that if I were that high on weed, or most other things for that matter, I couldn't function. Weed is a fun drug, and I hate to give anyone reason to support the gateway theory, but some people try to take weed farther than it can go, and end up with an unenjoyable time. Sometimes, if you're trying to push the limits, its better to try it with a different drug. Since weed is a combination of many effects, one might be where he wants to be with one effect, but another effect is making the experience uncomfortable. Weed is a substance I love at low amounts, but higher amounts aren't fun for me. Lucy is great at any dose, although like I said I haven't ever completely tripped my face off like a lot of members here. If only it were easier to get...

 

if weed was like weed effects and lsd effects in like the 2-4 hours of a trip, but only lasted an hour or so like weed, id probably smoke that shit every hour on the hour...

 

Well it's nice to see so many replies, everyone appears to think differently which is cool..

I agree that at most it can only be similar in the mental high, which I mainly experience at non peak times of acid. But only with the acid I've gotten a hold of this year has it effected me similarly to weed, the acid I was being supplied with last year didn't ever make me think this way.

 

If you believe that weed makes you stupid, or you simply are scared of it because you dont understand it, which many people are, you sir are retarded..

It all depends on who you experience it with and under what circumstances. Do it enough (perhaps alone) to understand it. It is VERY similiar to acid in that it can be considered a step before it.

Its like turning up your awarness a knotch, then acid is like turning it up five knotches

 

well this year maybe it not actually LSD...duh...

 

more like cannabis turns the dial 1-10 depending on how much you smoke, lsd rips the dial right off.

 

Yea makes more sense that way haha

 

It is certainly LSD I just dont think I am good enough at explaining what I mean without sounding stupid... oh well!

It's probably just because I do it in different situations than I did before. This year it was at home, at psy clubs etc in the night. While before it was in nature, parks, forests and in the day... So less visual and more mental.

 

no you definitley dont sound stupid, sorry if that comment sounded like an asshole remark def. did not mean it like that

 

My most intense experiences with marijuana have been remarkably similar to my LSD experiences in a lot of ways. Of course they are two different animals, and LSD has a far more profound effect on the senses, but the dissociation and rapid, free-flowing associations are both there. I get some pretty serious visuals after a bong hit, too.

LSD affects people differently, but more than any other drug I find that marijuana affects each individually differently. I have always found its mental and physical effects to be extremely powerful. Other people just giggle, eat, and fall asleep. I've never hero-tripped, but I have been just as overwhelmed when really stoned as I ever was tripping. Marijuana seems to me almost a middle ground between LSD and shrooms... there is an increase of awareness, but there is also that cloudy and disorienting effect of shrooms. I'm sure there are many reasons why a lot of people aren't as affected by marijuana as I am, but I think a big part of it is that most people just take 2-5 small hits every time and so they never really break through. When I used to smoke a lot, a typical smoking session for me would be killing a pretty large bowl (not a gram or anything, but definitely not a small bowl) in a single hit with a bong. I would typically cough for anywhere from 10-60 seconds afterwards, and within a few minutes, I would be experiencing serious dissociation and visuals. Not something I would ever do before leaving the house or interacting with anyone who wasn't a close friend and preferably also very high.

 

not really acid is a tryptamine, thc is an anandamide, totally different mechanisms of action

 

Otters are a lot like beavers in many ways, and much more similar to each other than either is to an elephant or a leaf or Saturday. But they're not the same thing.


I'm beginning to be one of those people who speak in intricately designed nonsense. Too much exposure to otters and beavers...

 

there is almost no comparison between the two, though THC is a twitch in the neighborhood of acid consciousness. even though they both finely tune awareness and perception, cannabis intoxication generally comes with some degree of cloudy fogginess while LSD is pure and crisp.

 

You can never have too much exposure to beavers IMO

 

Weed and acid are brother chemicals, i remeber why i wanted to try acid, i was told in school Marijuana was a mild acid buzz after i had already smoked for a while, and remembering him saying if i gave u a hit of acid you would see that flag jump off the wall and start talking to ya, i was bought on it then.

 

Cannabis and LSD are both psychedelic hallucinogens....but ganja tends to be a milder psychedelic and a greater dissociative ad higher dosages. I find the thought processes to have some similarity but the structure of time is different. Acid seems to sneak up on you and at times it doesn't seem all that different from normal consciousness at least at medium doses. Acid seems to impact feelings to a much bigger degree. Pot seems more intoxicating, but with acid it can get hard to focus on one task at a time.

So yeah acid is somewhat like being really stoned, but the effects are still in a different league especially at higher doses.
