some questions about the damage to your body from cid

Ok so i love lsd and know a lot about it. I do it prety often (ussualy every weekend) because its always available where im at. What are some of the effects this has on my body? Should I trip like every 3 weeks?

 

you know a lot about it but don't know that it's nontoxic in recreational doses and has no bad effects on the human body, whatsoever, at all?



you shouldn't trip every weekend though. Your body might be safe, but your mind could take its toll. Give your body time to rest and regain "HOMEOSTASIS", a very important state of being, your natural self, without external influences.

go for quality over quantity. Just because it's always available doesn't mean you always have to do it, you make it sound addicting. Instead of a ho hum trip every weekend, take it once every two months and take triple or quadruple what you normally take.

 

Thanks. Good advice. And i dont mean to make it sounds addicting I just really enjoy doing it.

 

tripping every weekend CAN have some bad effects on the human body, namely the brain. constant over stimulation of the serotonin receptors in your brain can lead to down regulation of those receptors. now, when you aren't taking LSD, you have less serotonin receptors to perform their normal function.

writer, you know this

 

:sifone:

 

^^^what does that mean?!

 

LSD will definitely eventually take a toll on your body if you trip that often. One of its most notable physical effects is muscle tension so if you are grinding your teeth or wake up with a sore back after LSD thats why. My cousin probably tripped about as much as you as a teen and said by his mid 20's he couldn't drop anymore, the recovery period just got slower and more difficult.

 

I could be wrong, but I thought they "come back online" or approximatly that, after a recovery period?

Yeah, it's a vasoconstrictor, tightens muscles, might make you grind a bit, but in most people they should be unnoticable and harmless, even with heavy use. What you need to worry about is your brain. Weekly might be ok for a while, but like writer said, everyone needs to normalize every now and then. Back the fuck off, then dose high more occasionally.

Also, you don't sound like you know JACK about LSD... not to imply that I do, but you obviously don't....

 

i was under the impression that problems with your serotonin system was really more of a concern with drugs like MDMA and not lsd... lsd is pretty well-established to be non-toxic as far as i'm concerned.

i think lsd can cause physical problems indirectly if the use if causing some kind of large stress on your mind, which would translate to more problems with bodily tension... but otherwise.. its won't cause any noticeable physical effects.

 

I can follow your reasoning and conjecture, Pork, but honestly I never came across any studies that supported that particular side effect.
Not to say it doesn't or can't happen, I've just not seen anything specifically about that and LSD.


The facts as they currently stand in regards to physiological harm from LSD is that it is a benign substance that causes no obvious or apparent physiological harm in humans in the doses normally encountered.

With that being said, the exact mechanism of action of LSD is still largely unknown. We know it has a strong affinity for specific serotonin receptor sites, but how that results in the fantastic effects of the substance remains a mystery.
So I will concede that there is room for further study and that there may be actual neurological changes that occur in the user and that they may be permanent changes in some rare instances.

But thus far all the evidence before us suggests that LSD is one of, if not the safest psychedelic substance known.
In persons with a predisposition to mental illness, either biological or environmental, namely schizophrenia, there is a correlation between LSD exposure and rapid/early onset of the disease.

HPPD (Hallucinogenic Persistent Perceptual Disorder) is the only well documented adverse and lasting side effect, and it appears to be connected with all psychedelics in general. HPPD occurs with no apparent pattern or requiring any pre-existing condition. It can manifest after 1 trip, though most usually found in moderate-heavy users. The severity and duration of effects is also random.

@ OP: Overdo and abuse anything, drugs, food, white sugar, and you are going to suffer some type of harm.
That's just how the game works, gotta try to maintain balance in everything.

 

If it feels good, do it! : ) In the good ol' days it wasn't bad for you to take it every weekend but the components have changed. It probably is bad for you. The old LSD was ok to take frequently but the new LSD is not only shitbut made from worse things. Try Peyote.

Peyote is neither a replacement for recreational drugs, nor is it a recreational drug. It is not a plaything. Peyote is a holy medicine strictly for God's people to pray and heal themselves with. :indian_chief:

 

What is different from then to now that makes it worse? I mean you must know.

 

When you abuse LSD you're only abusing yourself. Ditto for any substance, legal, illegal, psychoactive or not.

LSD taken intelligently will not harm your body, at all, ever.

 

lucy will let you abuse her.... til that one day you take a single tab and you wind up in the back of a padded wagon with straps around your wrists and ankles .. Only take that one time and them straps can burn your wrist and leave a scar for life.. sunshine:sunny:..

Remember a day..

 

I'm a aware, I hope I didn't put it across that way. I'm sorry I didn't mean to. I wasn't trying to replace it I was just trying to look out for the wellbeing of this person. Alot of people did do that though, so I thought maybe this person was the same.

 

^^^a lot of people did do what?

how is saying "try peyote." looking out for the well being of the OP?

also, there are no new components to today's LSD. the LSD molecule has not changed. maybe the potency or the purity has changed, but LSD IS LSD
