first lsd in 29 yrs.

i just took lsd for the first time since 1981...crushed me. had been thinking i wanted to, but it took me a couple years to pull the trigger. it was fun and a little intense. got 1 more hit for another day.

 

why did you stop 29 years ago?

 

"crushed me"

Tell us more, your experience when you used to take it, how your trip was, what kind of blotter, etc.

 

yea tell us more. mr. writer that is a fuckin sick sig pic.

 

i had tripped a couple dozen times in the mid 70's and when i did it in 81 just felt like it had run it's course. then marriage, family, etc. have done mushrooms a few times over the years and as recently as november. i had been thinking of doing acid for a while, but was a little afraid. finally just did it...ate it, walked to library to come on and flip through some art books...got home an hour later and was definitely tripping. seemed more physically strong than i recalled...i always enjoyed the visuals, but don't remember being so zonked out. that may be my age (55) and stuff...had a pretty good time, though i was not thoroughly relaxed..having been concerned i sort of stayed on my toes and tried not to let my mind wander too far. i think if i take the other (which is a different type; sorry don't have a name..i'll ask my bro.), i'll be more confident and relaxed. i've read this forum to get psyched and just get the humor of lsd for a while. it definitely is a powerful, cool drug. recently turned my 20 yr. old son on to it...gave him the hits i was afraid to take a couple months ago. thanks for the read.

 

ya i read this to get phsyched

 

Prem1 just curious but how was it like tripping at your current age? It mustve been way different than the last time when you were younger

I want to trip when I'm a lot older like at 40
I'm still 18 :/

it must be a whole different experience being that your a lot wiser now right?

 

^^^i'd be curious about that too. 55 vs 26...shit. one is probably a different person after doubling their age. i just turned 25 and have been thinking about how time flies. i imagine after that much time away from tripping, you can really learn something from it when you come back

 

you might be surprised...my psyche is not much different at 55 than at 22. life goes on and frankly doesn't change much...if you're young at heart. and being a hippy keeps you there.

 

Considering your life and memories provide the majority of the content of a psychedelic experience, I find that my psychedelic experiences now are of a completely different nature then when I was younger. It is still the same familiar landscape and headspace as when younger, but the experience is always new.

Life does go on and it doesn't change that much. But we change every moment as we learn and react to this strange paradoxical existence we call life. For simply that reason alone there will always be something more to gain from respectful use of psychedelics. There is no such thing as having gotten all they have to offer. As you grow and change in the course of your life, so do the insights and lessons that may be imparted to you through the use of these substances.

 

Bite Me!

 

^^^i was waiting for you to chime in, ya old geezer

 

What's that ya say sonny?
damn hearing aid is on the fritz again!

 

haha your not that old the way i see it is your only half way through your life if you live to be 96

 

yea, but he could die tomorrow, as could you or i. i could be more than half way through my life, if i die before i'm 50. i'm gonna be an awesome old dude (i hope). i'm talking like 80 or 90, ranting about back in the day

 

That sounds really cool, I am getting ready for my first trip ever and I hope it will be one that I will always remember. (in a good way)

 

Damn thats crazy. Howd you like watching your body morph through time? Ive heard its exhilarating? Thats how its spelt?

Besides that, congratulations on being given a life.

 

I guess I'll never grow up, I was candy flippin' with 20 year olds at a music fest a month or two ago. Life's short, you know the rest.

 

Long break for me until a few years ago too. Mostly because friends stopped doing it. It seems like everyone just started smoking weed constantly and stopped acid because they had enough. Maybe we took too much. I pretty much did the same thing.

For me, the biggest difference is the logistics. Getting the time, and finding people to explore with. I just don't meet a lot of people who trip in my circles anymore (or they don't talk about it anyway.) Saying this makes me feel like a looser....I need to be more open and find some people who look at life the way I do.

It's a long slow process, but I hope to turn my wife on soon.

That's excellent that you turned your son on. I would love to have a coming of age trip with my kids when the time comes. Not for many years though.

I always thought the best trips must have been when the psychiatrists brought it home to the family in the 40- early 60s. Instead of being some illegal drug, it's some great new discovery. What could be a better way to look at it. (I know you could try to look at it that way now, but somewhere in the back of your head there's some stigma attached to it.)

 

Ahahaha I meant that with no disrespect of course I was just curious

Buuut I guess you can answer too? Haha
I'm just saying being young for me and tripping, I learn so much about the person I want to be and what I want to do with my life

At an older age though when your life is a more lot stable and matured (hopefully) it's gotta be way different, ya diig?

But I guess life and memories and being the same at heart wouldn't make a difference in the trip

I guess that's why its up to set and setting though to make it different
