how much did LSD destroy you the first time?

That's interesting. I still knew how to eat and stuff. The things I lost and rebuilt were more psychological things. How to relate and interact with other people, thought processes, my spirituality, my sexuality, philosophical stuff. Things of that sort. Coming back to the real world was pretty difficult, and I probably came off as a little schizophrenic, or at the very least, like a profit who just spoke to some higher power and wanted to share that experience with all my loved ones. It took me about three or four months to find my place again, and be comfortable with the 'doors' that I had 'opened' in my mind/soul/etc. I dropped twice in that period of still coming back to normal and if anything it left me a little more confused, but I can confidently say now that have become comfortable with all the new and weird shit that happened to my mind/personality/psyche/whatever on acid, and I'm ready to drop again and be able to gain some beneficial insight towards things, or expand upon the previous trips.

I took mushrooms about two weeks ago for the first time, and spiritually or intellectually it hardly related to my LSD experience at all. It was a pretty bad night, actually, and I wasn't prepared for the chaos of shrooms. I'll put a report up on here soon probably.

 

By the time I finally got acid, my existence had already been shattered by other psychedelics. Acid just further smashed the remaining shards.

 

you guys made me excited, I'm doing it for the first time Friday night... I hope everything turns out okay.

I want a life changing expirience

 

You'll be fine : )

 

I went on the gravitron tripping face...went home with these 2 girls while both of them were sexualy took advantage of me

 

I didn't have a bad trip, my first trip was very nice, not too strong, lovely visuals, great place, great people, I had fun all the 12 hours it lasted and a great few days after.

Goes for all the 9 ones that came after except some were a lot stronger, all were just so, incredibly wonderul and great. I can't even imagen a bad trip on LSD unless something goes wrong. I think bad trips happen to people who want to keep the control or do not know themselves fully. I think you have to love yourself and not value your sense of reality too much, trust that it'll be ok, and you'll have a great trip every signle time.

 

That's how I feel about dropping L, which soon I'll do for the first time. But having had mushrooms, and my own observations and meditations, I feel most of the ego-related struggles ppl normally have with L won't be very hard for me.

Sometimes I'll read some profoundly insightful thing by one of you young ones and wonder how you realized someting that I didn't realize till my mid 20's. Then I noticed that many of those young posters have had L, whereas I have not. It quickens the realization process about our perverse and oblivious civilization. But those nut-grabbing realizations that make you wonder how you ever lived without this new wisdom, I've had a few of, but I want many more, and I think I'm totally ready for it.

Do you guys find it's worthwhile to bring a penand paper, or maybe even a video camera? Or is that a bit lame? Could I even portray anything with those conventional media?

 

Great way to put it shapeshifter – I especially loved the movie metaphor.

 

My first time on acid was amazing, one of my best life experiences. Only once did I become a little freaked after being so high for so long; I thought I was stuck high and was never coming down. But the thought passed.

 

Thanks PlacidPete! It actually feels so good when you see that it meant something to somebody. Usually, when I write my story that thread just stops. At some points I didn't know do I confuse people, or they just don't have anything to say more than that.

Anyway, love you all!

 

the strange thing is that my first acid trip wasn't very spectacular when it comes to hallucinations, i just saw slight distortions of everything there was arpound me and i believe that people can loose any sense of reality on this drug, am i right? anyway, in the end the trip was a psychological confusing one that kept me awake most of the night, just to think about the stuff i'd gone through in my mind.

 

personally think a videocamera could proof to be worthless to record what's going on inside the head. pen and paper works for me if i want to record my thoughts on pot, never tried it with serious psychedelics. would rather recommend that.
