How much is too much

i deleted this one

 

Doing it all the time can give you HPPD, megalomania or bring out underlying mental disorders. It might also give you a direct link to the collective unconscious.

 

I did 18 hits over the course of a week or two. That was enough to give me strobes for a couple of months whenever I was out during the day.

I think if you use your head and use a little bit of proper judgement you should be alright. 18 hits in one day, I would probably be fried or at least a little dull in the head. I can still do algebra, I think I'm alright.

 

abusing lsd is never good. lsd should be paced out. it is hard to take in what your learned from lsd if you dont have a few days set for your brain to rest and comprehend what has happend. some people kind of go off the deep end when they acid heads, although very rarely is acid abused like that.

 

hppd... direct link to the collective conscious... megalomania...

aren't these all kind of associatively linked?

 

direct link to the collective conscious sounds kinda cool

 

Isn't it better to use it sparingly? LSD is not supposed to be a purely recreational drug. It should be approached maturely and treated as an experiment in consciousness and perhaps a spiritual experience. Some people think it should only be used once or a few times, as it is only to wake you up to the possibilites and that after that continuing to use it is pure self-indulgence.

 

I would strongly suggest very strong caution when it comes to the use of LSD since it's such an incredibly powerful hallucinogenic.

I've seen far too many times where a person will dose, get high, go off into that other place/space/"reality" (it's real to the person experiencing it) and then commence to go through a process of ego deconstruction which breaks down the basic personality and leaves the person stranded in a kind of mental "no man's land" devoid of any abilities to cope or function within or without it.

I'm reminded of a guy named Bruce who lived in Berkeley, California years ago. He started out as one of the professors at Cal, did a few doses and ended up a mental wreck living on the streets because of some fundamental psycho-emotional flaws that were horribly exaggerated when he dosed.

It took him about ten years or so to find his way back to himself and back to a place where he could interact with humans, again, in a normal, healthy way.

Then there was Tim, who spent his days wandering up and down Durant Avenue ranting about the United States and the Soviet Union. He was a quite brilliant social activist until that last dose, which I suspect was bad, took his mind from him and left him a wandering wreck.

Don't get me wrong, here.. I'm not saying this will or would happen to everyone who doses and does LSD. I'm just citing some horror stories/night mares of people who I knew and who it happened to.

If you're going to do it then make dang sure you do it around people you know well, love and trust and do it in a very peaceful, serene environment under careful guidance from well experienced people.

 

i have done hundreds if not a thousand hits in my lifetime and i am fine, NO MENTAL PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER, my brother did it only a few times and it fucked with him and left him "damaged" in some way (according to him - and i would agree) but this is because of his attitude compared to mine. do it in a good 'set and setting', if you dont know what i mean do more research. moderation is key as i did go through a time where i did a little too much which made life difficult. but i turned out just fine anyways. keep it to once or twice a month at most in a positive set and setting and you will be fine. negative effects come from drug 'abuse' or bad set and setting.

my friend and I consider Lucy our ally. She is the most benevolent spirit on earth. Dont abuse her tho, if your looking for just another high your not worth her in my opinion. You have to do a mighty large amount of her tho to get HPPD, ive done 3 time sthis past week and i still have trails kinda. I dont mind it tho really. I love lucy

 

but it really varies person to person. thats how lucy is, try her once and you will know if shes your ally or not.

 

yeah it varies...and obviously its not for everyone, and at the same time people can handle more than others...
for instance when i take it i generally take a lot, a lot more than most other people i trip with, but i can handle it. I'll be tripping balls, but be able to handle the parents or cops on about 10 when my friend on one is losing his/her mind. ---but i have other friends who have taken 50, granted only one of them is still in school...take it for what its worth.. me and my best friend(who can take as much as me and trip balls, yet function in reality afterwards) can handle our drogas...in order to find out YOUR limit (its different for everyone) start off small youll figure it out as you go

but do be careful

 

The acid may have brought it out, but what you're describing is existential angst. I went through it, without any influence from drugs at all. Countless thoughtful people have dealt with it in different ways.

 

you think your fine when you keep up the dosing... when you stop for an extended period, you come down more and more from the after glow and the wow feelings, and then its just some mental problems i guess you could call them. so ya do got to be carefull cause its not till after you realise you fuck yourself, and after is too late. so realise now.

 

it's all about perspective, baby. you'll find yourself thinking... holy fuck.. is it really like this?
just take everything with a grain of salt i guess. realize that life is a perfect balance of incredibly horrible and incredibly wonderful things.
i think 3-4 hits is the perfect amount, but that's just what works for me. takes me to the level... i see everything building and fine-tuning and whatnot... but i'm also completely alert and aware. on top o my shit yao.

oh yeh, just remember not to let insecurities get the better of you and you're golden no matter how much you're on! don't be afraid to let it all go.

 

NO lsd does not have a depressing effect! do some research on 'set and setting' - you do it to yourself.

the ideal dose for me is 3-5 hits at once but you can do 10-50 hits at once and still be fine. i feel that any more than 10 hits at once is a waste of good lsd.

sometimes i re-dose every 4 hours to extend the trip - ie. 3 hits every 4 hours up to 12 hits in one day or 4 hits every 4 hours up to 16 hits in one day - wonderful trip

 

peter, stop blaming the lsd ,,, after 100's of pills and crystal meth and you think the lsd did it,,, WAKE UP and stop giving lsd a bad name

can you even go a period without dosing? i bet you cant. cause after a period you feel like you really need it again. it keeps your mind tikled in a fantasy world of delight. you will find reality boring without it, i dont think you could do it. you feel next to godlyness for weeks after dosing... but i still rekon after you stop for a while you then slip into identity crisis issues and your altered awareness plauges you more than anything when you just doing normal things. im just saying when you try and give it up and change your life and move on, it doesnt let up, it keeps effecting the user greatly. thus caution is needed.

am i entirely wrong? i think not. just awareness is what is needed. hmm but not to much if you know what i mean.
