All the people I usually trip with are white, lower class (I live/hang out with a bunch of ghetto kids i quess, just the area I live in. Im a lower class mullato...and the only other black kids ive tripped with...were mullato's aswell. I know of one TOTALLY whitewashed black kid (still dressed like a G) who's really into DnB and psychedelics, but he ONLY hangs with whites. my mom (who's white) was a crackhead when she was a teenager for a few months, and has told me plenty of stories about her acid and shroom days..said acid was stupid as fuck and a bad drug (her friend developed flashbacks and basically made everyone scared) and shrooms she always thinks im on (she was right once, i told her straight up if she has a problem with it to speak to me when I come down (I was having a very sketchy and uncomfortable come up on 1.5 lemon tek.) and my dad (black) smoked alot of weed, drank alot, and has been an opiate feind for years. blacks tend to like pleasure drugs more I believe.
I was teasing the person that codmouse was responding to... And why do you assume I have no idea what it's like to be on acid? My estimations about every drug I have tried was right so far. Weed felt like I expected it to feel like, alcohol was JUST like I suspected, and shrooms held few surprises as well. I'm going to be more honest than I should with a douchebag like you, but I haven't investigated acid very thoroughly, and don't really know fully what it would be like - but why does my lack of interest in the drug itself as of late, have anything to do with my interest in the culture around the drug? It doesn't. Now go be pissed off about something else you don't understand.
You actually had an acurate idea of what shrooms was going to be like? That's amazing. like everyone else taking acid I thought I was gonna see cars shit change colour completely and have my cat talk to me and stuff, I had the idea about enlightenment and the spiritual stuff, although still I couldn't predict that at all, the racing of thoughts, the clarity of mind, the revelations and such you come up to... ALOT more intense and REAL then I thought it would be, I was like others thinking id become enlightened by a coffee cup and think stupid shit like that...was I way off, body buzz had no idea about though. even after like 3 acid trips, my first time doing shrooms was a hell of a lot different then I expected and Ive done psychedelics to this point already.
When I was in high school in the late '70s, it seemed to be a "white people drug." Most of the black people that I knew who got high regarded acid as so crazy as to be worth a good laugh at the very suggestion of taking acid. "You trippin, right now, man." But still, it seemed like everyone I knew tried it before me, I was very hesitant for a long time. I think a lot of young people, especially, today have had friends of such diverse and mixed backgrounds/personalities [as evidenced in this very thread] that they don't even notice race or other traditional divisors-- or at least not in the same way my generation did in that time. So to me a race-based answer here would have not so much meaning or importance anymore... if that makes any real sense. I guess maybe what I'm saying is that there's so many interesting and unique people around these days that racial aspects become really less interesting rather than more so. Or maybe I'm trippin.
From my social experiences. Many times it is middle class white people that seem to stick to LAD or other psychs. Though recently a sub group has popped up around my area that are not caucasian and love the psych scene. I agree with people that love the L seem to be more educated. More than less not integrated into the whole institutional system though. But are well educated by it but knows the benefits and negative side effect of such gov. "programming."
Dude you're the one who sounds pissed off! You are spewing ignorance at the highest level. The more you open your mouth anyways. I just stated an observation. You started saying racist comments...you call that "teasing"?. Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and leave no doubt about it. How in the world can you have an idea/suspect about what a drug can do? By other peoples experience? You live vicariously through others? You googled it? lol!
Right fucking on man. I knew I liked you for a reason. Logic is hard to come by lately obviously. Uh, when you quote someone you are talking to THEM. Thats why we have the chance to quote. I don't know what you ment by that. I took it offensively, but if you were teasing the other dood then w/e. There is no reason to call names though. He kept it civil and so did I. Reverting to names in only showing your intelligence...
I am not ragging on you man, thats what I have been told by my black friends. Thats why I put the "there are exceptions though" part in. How many of your black friends like to trip? That would be a cool thing to see. A bunch of black dood trippin on acid! I can only imagine. I wish I could see that. A bunch of white doods tripping on acid has already been seen, so that would not be as interesting. :\
Lol at anyone "knowing" what a trip is like beforehand. If its what you expected you didn't take enough. Myself, middle class honky. Most people I know who trip are mid-lower class white people, with a few exceptions.
I, along with many friends of mine r whiteys and from a pretty damn well off household. Most of the modern hippie kids tended to grow up in similar situations unless my mind deceives me.
im a lower class white guy who grew up in a middle class family. most trippers i know come from a similar background. if nothing else the suburbs have taught the youth that money cant buy whats important in life. seems so many of us are searchin for somthin
The hippy class I guess. It can consist of any races, any social classes and (generally speaking) most religions. It's just a way of life...
I wasn't calling anyone racist.. I was agreeing with you, by teasing him about insinuating yinz were racist, but whatever man.
lol well only 1 of my black friends used to trip with me all the time. god i miss that kid. he unfortunatly killed himself... so now none of my black friends trip. alot of my white friends trip with me. lol
this is old news but i grew up in inner city LA and back in the day every body took LSD so thats alot of mexican LSD heads----but of course PCP took over soon after----truth vvvv---ok hispanic--alot of old hispanic acid users--i quit counting trips at 500 and im hispanic---thats acid mescaline and shrooms--
that's not surprising. Musta been hard living in the inner city la. Actually though, mexicans are a nationality not a race just as much as americans are not a race. They are a people group, combination of indian, spanish and whatever else their ancestors were. They happen to come from a country called mexico. There are even black and asian mexicans. I'm not being prejudice, I love my hispanic grandchildren (middle son married a hispanic) and have great hispanic friends. :cheers2: I just get annoyed that we all buy into this politically correctness crap.
