I would not do acid

yeah screw it

 

i'd have to disagree with that. Psychedelics do open doors to your mind, but not everybody is ment to look behind those doors. Some people are just not capable of handling such thoughts, idee's and just not capable of reachin that higher level of counciousness.
I'm really sry it had such an effect on you. I understand that after going trough such a mind-altering process, you fall back on what the "pplz, couvernment ..." sais about it.
It can be a great, getting-to-know-the-real-you, fun and even religious expierence, i've you (and with that i mean your head) are capable of handeling the expierience. In that case it DOES open doors in your mind and those things found there WILL probably change your life, but it'll be a learning, mind expanding situation.

BUT... in the wrong surcomstances, with the wrong people, or not proper wisdom about the substances, it can also change your life in a way you'll regret lateron

 

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-.. Die

I got a really bad trip the first time...but when it clears up comon its the best thing ever ;p

Had to do thi stuff again

 

So, you couldn't handle your acid trip, does that mean most other people can't? So far everyone I've known that have had really bad trips have had them on shrooms and not acid too.

 

you think that's bad, stay far away from DMT. little aliens or elves will play russian roulette with your balls.

 

yeah screw it

 

lol nobody's being hostile

I dont think regular posters here use it like its a 'hippie psychedelic fad' ...

Lsd messed quite a bit with my mind...but now I can separate which is the negative long term effects, and which is what I learned in the consciousness expansion part that you classify as bullshit. I learned, now I dont need acid I could just meditate cuz im interested in spirituality, but I do it occasionally for the thrill that it is.

 

*roflcopter*

what about good ol' fashion experience?

you can't learn anything about the exhilaration you can acquire from base jumping, just by reading about it. You can read all about theory, but it's not worth squat if you don't apply it.

anywho, I was pretty closed-minded once upon a time, and my first trip was
fairly bad...but I decided to reinvestigate. Now after years of dropping tabs, liquid, and tarts, I'm more of a holistic person than I ever was (though I stopped tripping on 'cid, cause I just felt like I gained all I could from it), and I have more of an inkling on reality than most goody-goodies. Haven't lost my mind yet.

I say reinvestigate, or read a credible pharmacology book, before demonizing a chemical you have no clue about. Mental manifestations may surface from underlying issues, such people have no business toying with introspect from such a revealing agent anyway.

in layman's terms... if you're a manic-depressive, take lithium, not acid.

 

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with acid, but that doesn't mean it's going to fuck other people up too. Different people react to it in different ways and there are many factors involved such as your prevailing state of mind and such. I can't even begin to explain how much I gained from my first acid trip.

"Like Herbert, many scientists and engineers also report heightened states of creativity while using LSD. During a press conference on Friday, Hofmann revealed that he was told by Nobel-prize-winning chemist Kary Mullis that LSD had helped him develop the polymerase chain reaction that helps amplify specific DNA sequences."

i want to try acid in a couple years when im ready... but i just really have no idea what it does. ive heard of people having visuals and ive heard of people being in dissasociative states and ive heard of acid causing sensory overload... but ive never really heard a straight up answer as to what kind of effects it has on you. to date ive tried weed, salvia, diphenhydramine, and hydrocone. im assuming its nothing like any of those.

 

well, rob...there's no accurate way to describe what you'll experience for sure, but depersonalization followed by perceptual distortions are common side effects. the introspective and analytical part of it comes at the peak, usually 3 - 4 hours after taking it.

if you're in good spirits, open-minded, and devoid of self-loathing before you take it, you should be alright.

 

Agreed, you take acid with a basic knowledge that your perceptions will change and shit could quite possibly happen. Judging by the way you're articulating yourself EzyRyder, psychedelic are definitely not for you.
This "acid will ruin your life forever after one bad trip" myth gets me, because I can truthfully say I've been in the depths of emotional disturbance through acid induced thought and when it wears off, the only thing to do is accept that what happened was drug induced and not a permanent change in conciousness i.e. "i'm losing my mind"

To be honest acid is something I've always had a sense of control over, even when tripping into the depths - but mushrooms are a completely different story. i've had really bad times on shrooms, being locked in a concious loop of quesitoning for ages. it was weirdly scary, but it wore off and i started buzzing off the fact i had a bad trip when i got it back together again.

"To each his own" was the most sensible part of your post EazyRyder.

Do not fear the knowledge - thrive on it.

 

let it die

 

let it die

 

sounds like a dogmatic take on things.

If NASA had that attitude, we'd never get into space.
There's always the chance when you get behind the wheel of a car, and go out driving, that you'll potentially get into an accident and die. Is that any reason to stay home?

all three of these are experiences, which could go either way, and I see you're a big proponent of Murphy's Law

but just because it went badly for you, doesn't necessarily mean it'll go badly for everyone else. If acid were that evil, I'm sure MAPS would've told us by now. There's a good chance Zoloft could screw you up too.

 

let it die

 

Thats like saying just because I got in a car wreck I dont recomend anyone ever driving a car...

I've had 2 bad trips on acid outta my at least 100 zings into that wacky world, scary hell ya, but you just got to figure out why you had a bad trip and try not to repeat it, Both of mine were becasuse I got left alone and because I tripped alone... I learned not to do that anymore, And also althoug it never happened I know tripping with a drunk crowd would be a bad thing for me so I always avoided that... give it another chance make sure your settings are good and you should have no problems...
