Ever get the feeling after just coming up that all your body is VERY stiff and sensitive? I hate the tense feeling... just feels like I have to crack my back, shoulders, and spine. I'm sure this has to do with the quality of the stuff...but it seems to happen every time. Also, does anyone ever just feel really dirty and grimy after tripping for a while? Like you look at your face in a mirror and you look dirty, pale and washed out? Uh I hate that feeling! It skeeves me out. Sorry this doesn't really go too far.. but just wanted to put that out there.
It's not an indicator of quality, LSD just causes muscle tension. Even the world's best LSD will cause muscle tension, possible sore back, etc. It's a common effect of all serotonergic psychedelics in my experience and as far as i know. and it also can make your pores release some oil, i mean on top of multiple hours of raised heartbeat and tripping absolute nutsack, yeah you might feel a little grimey afterwards still, lsd is one of the cleaner feeling ones.
I also get tense towards the end of an LSD trip. I feel like I can't get the stretch "out" if you know what I mean. My neck, jaw and back will tighten up a bit. I relate some of this to the fact my eyes are glassy as hell and I am tripping face. I have the same issues with tripping on mushrooms and yawning, it fucks with my sinuses temporarily and therefore things tighten. The longer you trip and the more you take the tighter you will probably be. This slight uncomfortable temporary feeling is well worth it to me considering how fun, beautiful, and enlightening LSD is not to mention I have not had a migraine in months and used to have them daily. Woot! I agree with Mr. Writer when he says it is one of the cleanest feeling psychedelic substances. By far!!! . And there is permagrin that hurts a little too but definitely worth it. If you don't like the way it feels it's your choice to trip or not to trip, however yes I do understand what you are saying. Cheers!!
Maybe body reflecting mind. Time for a shower, a ritual cleansing, part of so many religions and spiritual experiences (hear the old prayers, find the wise players).
My shoulders and neck always get pretty tense when I am tripping out. I only notice it if I am not keeping busy though.
i only notice a bit of muscle tension in my jaw, neck, upper back/shoulders on the come DOWN. come up feels great
I don't like the tension but I do like how I look in a mirror, all dirty and grimey and wacky it's hella trippy
I smoke herb like its going out of style, when coming off a good ol' fashion LSD dose. Helps keep the trip going and eases my muscles. As for feeling grimey I always think I sweat out alot of negitive energy during a trip and usually have a pimple or two the day after. Showers when coming down off any drug are a necessity for myself. I just dont like ACID GAS =(
Having came from ecstasy, which feels dirty, to molly which feels much cleaner, I maintain the view that there is definitely some dirty acid out there. Good LSD feels pretty damn clean in my experience, there is always usually an exhausting feeling to me after an LSD trip because of the duration but I have felt a couple trips that felt really grimey, like serious jaw tension, that I don't feel I can chock up to set and setting.
You Cali kids and your molly... I've only had the pleasure of doing acid once, was very good. On the comedown I had some tension, but I wouldn't notice it unless I thought about it.
yea i don't get tension when i take lsd like you guys are describing, especially if it's clean. but sometimes i will get a body load and tension in my chest if the lsd isn't very pure. but during a good lsd trip, my body feels great. i don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but does anyone else think it's funny how there are all these people with 1 post that make all these crazy claims about lsd and ask rediculous questions that undermine the integrity of the substance? there is only one explanation.. anti-lsd propoganda! :hide:
i defiantly get stiff neck and shoulders wen coming down off lsd, more noticeably when i first started taking it. but i think the come up feels great on acid, although i always notice my hands are shaky when i first start to feel the acid. and i feel like my hand eye coordination is a little off. thats how i can always tell im about to start tripping. then it kinda just makes its way through your mind
first effects i notice are my legs feeling like jello. a warm, slightly heavy feeling in my tummy sweaty palms
never done LSD, but with all the long acting tryptamines my back + neck pain will get unbearable to the point where I can't even take them anymore.
I'm yearning for some molly or E, I haven't had any in days. Underground coming up too at the end of the month. 9 pm - 6 am Something needs to be figured out quickly.
You know what i have noticed, if i stay up all night and don't sleep for like 24hrs, which happens often, i get alot of tension in my neck, back, and jaw. When i dose its usually at night, and towards the end of my trip(come down) i will have usually been up for at least 24hrs, and i get that same tension as when i don't sleep. Not saying that's the only reason for the tension, just something interesting i have noticed...
i haven't noticed too much stiffness the times i tripped on it, they were usually fairly low doses. some quite a bit stronger than others though. i did notice stiffness from some rolls before though. And i've heard of people going completely stiff having an acid body lock up, a dude i know was contemplating going to the hospital when it happened to him. good thing he didn't
