LSD and driving.

I have to say first, that this is always a bad idea.

Not that I haven't done it. But the whole time it freaks me out. In some ways, believe it or not, I can drive much better on some lucy. I am very patient, I never ever try to speed. But I have to talk myself through it.

If something were to happen- anything- that I would have to think fast about, I'd be fucked. I'm always telling myself that some minivan full of kids could slam on thier brakes in front of me. Or an elderly person could start crossing the street without looking.

Do any of you guys dare to drive? If so, don't you feel worried?

 

I usually don't mind driving myself unless I'm halucinating badlly ( or goodly depending on your perspective . I'm totally paranoid when someone else drives, no matter how careful they are. Like you, It feels like at any moment someone is going to do something unexpected, and my slow-mo reactions could handle it, but their's never will and we'll crash and burn violently. If I need alcohol or papers or something, I'll walk, do without it, or let someone else drive to get it if I can't get it myself.

 

avoid driving, as it could be very dangerous.

it would only be fun if you are the only vehicle in the area and you're speeding down a wide moutain parkway during the sunset with the windows down.

 

The first time I tripped on mushrooms, my friend and I were riding around after we split a quarter...around 2:00 AM we were waiting on one of our friends to get home from work, so we were cruising around in some suburban areas. We pulled up behind a cop and I said "Hey man, let's follow him around."

So we followed him around for about an hour, picking shrooms out of our second quarter which was nestled right on top of the middle console...at about 3:00 I finally said, "Hey man, this probably isn't a good idea." He agreed and said he'd quit following him.

We weren't paying attention, as we followed him for another 45 minutes to his house...we almost pulled up behind him in the driveway!

i'm not so sure i could even figure out HOW to drive if i were tripping decently....

especially if it's my stick-shift, which takes subtle and sensitive manipulation. i'd probably stall that shit and forget what gear i was in, etc. dangerous for me AND my car.

 

I once took 7 medium strength hits.
Drove for 3 hours.
Thought I got a flat, but really didn't.
Changed my tire.
Filled up at the gas station. (The attendants actually came outside to make sure I pumped the gas right)
Drove 3 hours back home on my spare.
brought the old tire in my appartment, still not realizing it is flat.

 

double post.

 

I've never tried and I never will. Once I'm trippin I'm down for the night.

My motto

 

when i trip i like to be as far away from any kind of responsibility as possible...and a car is a pretty big responsibility.

iv had to drive a few times trippin though, and it can be an intense ride.

 

It also seriously fucks with your depth-perception. That's gotta be one of the dumbest things I ever heard a person say, sorry. And if you've ever lost somebody close to you in a car accident, you would think twice about getting behing the wheel in *any* state of intoxication, let alone a psychedelic.

There is absolutely no reason to put yourself in a situation where you know you will have to drive on LSD. IMHO that is just ignorant and shows a marked disrespect for the *power* contained in this extremely potent substance, and also a huge disrespect to anyone else driving on the same road as you.

I was just at a show (Ratdog) where we watched some suburban kid slam the rear end of his car into a parked truck while on 3 hits of acid. All he was trying to do was get out of the parking lot. He only ended up with a broken tail-light and luckily people were able to convince him he shouldn't be driving and he left his car in a parking garage for the night. But the cops came by because somebody in the venue must have reported it as an accident... Everybody pretended not to know who owned the car, and there was no damage to the truck he backed into, so the cops left without filing any reports or anything.... but THAT is another reason why you should really think twice before getting behind the wheel like that -- talking to any member of law enforcement is NOT fun while tripping. Trust me, i've done it, and it is *not* something you need to go through to brag about later...

 

Michael obviously has never eaten any good acid...he must be getting the bunk shit if he can drive through a snowstorm on it (which explains perfectly why he's always complaing about getting "LSA blotter".)

I don't care how heady you are, driving on LSD is going to be extremely difficult. Period.

 

Wow... I just just witnessed how quickly a forum thread can degenerate into juvenille, silly name-calling! And from someone who claims to be 34 yrs old at that. One would think a person who's been on the planet this long would be able to handle someone taking an opposing viewpoint to their own, and/or be capable of a civilized discussion using rhetoric, logic or discourse rather than "nya nya nana nya" or calling people "dumb fuck liars". But different strokes for dif'rent folks I guess. But..isn't this the same person who was banned on this site for harassing women and others with abominably degrading insults?

I've only been around this world for 30 years, so i guess Sir.M pulls rank on me, but i've done more hallucinogens than I could keep count of. And if none of that windowpane, blotter or liquid was actually LSD then it sure fooled me. But I never considered the amount of chemicals I've injested to be indicative of my manhood or integrity, let alone a reason to start insulting people in childish pissing contests.

Stating that you've driven on LSD is one thing: it's your own business and nobody can stop you (unfortunately). However, spouting off things like "if you can handle your acid... driving isn't that difficult" is just UTTERLY and COMPLETELY IRRESPONSIBLE, especially in a forum frequented by teenagers and young-adults. To a lot of people, that type of talk is tantamount to a *dare*. 'Sure I can handle it and I'll prove it to you!".

Well, people are free to get their kicks any way they choose, but encouraging dangerous and destructive behavior using *fabricated nonsense* in an attempt to make yourself look 'cool' is, well, dumb as fuck...

 

Hello, im new here, Hello to my fellow hippies!!

I dove to idaho once; from SF CA, on two hits of blotter in the early 80's!
I found it faily easy to do, but defiantly not a wise thing to do! But Hey i was younger then!

Would i do it again> NO!
You never know what can happen, or perhaps worse you may tragically affect anothers life.
peace love light

 

I just want to make it clear I'm not condemning anybody who has driven while tripping... I haven't done it, maybe because I lost somebody to a gruesome car wreck that kept me away from driving at all for the better part of 10 years. But I've been in vehicles driven by people who were tripping, and in retrospect I really don't know what we were thinking. It's a very serious and dangerous thing -- probably not any more dangerous than driving while drunk but that is *not* make it any more 'okay'.

But again, no judgements here -- we've all done things we probably shouldn't have after we look back at them. But actively *advocating* and *encouraging* people to try this out for themselves is another matter entirely, and that's what encouraged me to post at all to this thread.

one time when all my friends had to leave and ditched me on a sunday morning of a weekend festival, i was tripping off some of the eyeball blotter. i was fine until i had to get gas and bought 5$ worth and pumped it. i then realized my keys were locked in the car so i had to go in and try to explain to the people at the register what i did but i was all cracked out and still tripping and not making any sense. i proceeded to call a couple lockpickers to help me out but they charged like 100 cause it was a sunday.

i ended up having my friend pick me up and driving me like an hour away to get a spare set and had to see and talk to my parents and shit. it sucked. if im coming down off acid i love driving though and feel totally in control

 

lol the first time i ever did mushies i drove somewhere with this kid that i just met like an hour before. What should of been a 5 minute trip turned into 2-3 hours because we got into these uncontroulable laughter fits where we litterally had to pull to the side of the road for an hour to stop laughing.

lol

the worst car tripping expirience iv had was rideing passenger in my friends car while both of us were peaking on mushrooms. the car broke down right infront of the cemetary in the middle of the night and we didnt know what the hell to do, so we ended up calling his parents for a ride. lol

 

he's baiting me now. I'm not taking the bait. Everything I had to say about this ridiculous attitude is in my previous post.
