Hi

I want to try. Don't know where to start.

About 2 weeks ago I had my wisdom teeth pulled out and they put me on laughing gas. The whole time I was on laughing gas, I was able to think thoroughly about my ideas and plans. I know this is just laughing gas but I honestly love it. I never took drugs before and I must admit I am anti drug person. But damn, the ideas I was coming up with were amazing.

I did a lot of research , and the drug that I am willing to try is LSD, but I rather take a pill than liquid. Even Steve Jobs experimented with this. He called it counterculture. I am currently on a deadline, and I need something that can help me think, become less nervous when I around people, and help me become more energized.

 

Maybe try the first time questions thread at the top, and Erowid.com

 

Thank you.

 

LSD will be capable of doing most of those things you wished for, however it is probably the worst thing for you socially. Replicating the schizophrenic mind, it actually makes social contact (while under the drug) less desirable -now that is aside from people who may also be on the drug with you. While studying rats, scientists studying the effects of LSD have noted this fact - a major symptom of schizophrenia.

Here is what I am afraid to tell you. For your project specifically, LSD is going to be more thinking than you want, it will change your life entirely, it won't be focused thoughts. You will think about the universe itself and everything you are exposed to whether you knew it was there or not. After the experience, you will probably never think the same. Not necessarily in a negative way, but you will have reshaped those biases you once had. Your rebuilding your mind, as well as freeing it to.
LSD's main effect is the blocking of the brain portion, known as the thalamus. Now this is sometimes referred to as our filer of the brain. By having this portion of our brain function, it sends sensory information to be stored in memory. So our memory then builds concepts based off of experiences, this is why people naturally have bias and stereotypes towards their thinking. It is natural. With this filer down, the mind is flooded with information and it rebuilds are thinking entirely, there are many examples to this if you want to hear.

We are surrounded by 11,000,000 bits of information!! But our thalamus being bias only allows us to view 200 bits. Can you believe how much we are missing? Now there is a reason we have the thalamus, and you will personally find out if you do ever try LSD.

I'm a huge Steve Jobs fan myself, being into apple as long as I remember, and it wasn't actually surprising to find out he has done it, but I loved that i did. LSD is not like other drugs at all. "soul manifestation" -psyche-delic - psychedelic. It is why I got into it as well, it was really the only drug I ever had interest in before I even considered trying it. I think it is something you should try in your life. But probably not for this project.

Why?

LSD connects to your serotonin on your neuron receptors, by using so much of it, you are depleted. Depression is usually a result of high or low serotonin levels. After you try LSD the next few days you will be too depressed, possibly not even able to work on this project. It was a problem for me. LSD originally made me stop doing a lot of things, and now it has actually helped me on my own work -animating, music- as I have learned to work with even older ideas which I once dismissed. So in a long run it is important, but for this occasion it may be too much. I would look into LSD as much as possible before you ever try it, ask questions on this forum after you have watched and read about LSD-25

I always recommend The Beyond Within. that is very factual based, it explores the effects of it and such. Then Inside LSD is a more modern documentary that will tell you more about the modern use of LSD (both street and medicinal uses) Both are about 90 minutes and I suggest both of them if possible. Otherwise just the beyond within. Not to say that there aren't thinkers on other drugs, but if thats what you want, LSD is probably the way to go. You will however find idiots on any drug (well..even off drugs too).

 

Sometimes you get "depressed". The times I've dosed I've had an awesome afterglow, where I'm still just in awe of everything and just feel good in general for the following day or two.
Never had the depression from shrooms either.

 

I was depressed after i tripped i did not get out of bed for like 3 days

I'm so scared and anxious

 

Shouldn't be scared, anxious is about right. Just flow with the trip. Be in a comfortable environment with some tealights burning around the place, dim the lights, stick on your favourite music and enjoy the ride. The less things that can bum you out the better. A walk outside in the countryside or park is suggested if that's an option too.

Just go into the trip expecting anything, and just enjoy the ride :2thumbsup:

 

I live in the city , so im planning to do it in my room.

 

Well you're definitely not going to stay in your room, telling you that I'd only drop if I had a free house, just cos of the fact I wouldn't want to have to limit what I was doing.. like if I started playing loud fucking music and then have my parents wake up and come down and see me giggling my ass off whilst staring at the kettle.
Alternatively, go camping for the weekend and drop then.

 

If you're wanting to know if it's possible though, I've tripped solo in only my room a couple of times. It's a different type of trip then you will find out in nature. What I do, is wait until about 8-9 at night, drop it, so that way it's about to start, and I can say night to my parents. I'll retire to my room, and put on headphones and music and just listen.

This way the music can be "blasting" while not making that much noise, and there is actually a weird thing with acid. At first, I thought it made you only become "one with nature" but it has also shown me the genius and fortune behind technology, there really is another type of nature at work with technology, and it's our own. Do whatever you want on the computer-music,movies,shows,web,etc. There are a couple of vibes I've picked up, watching stuff I actually care about, is a great trip, but watching something that's "want to be trippy" just makes everything seem scummy. I don't know how to describe it...

But if you paint, or draw, it is the greatest thing on acid. I personally learned to keep hold of old ideas, that I always thought were bad mistakes, but now I feel like it's just "my style". I don't know about LSD, I can't say it made me more creative.. but it made me understand creativity more if that makes sense. So instead of finding something new, I just found something that was always there, that I've learned to appreciate. If you solo or have a friend with you in your room or whatever, you will still have a fun time, I suggest working more than just watching though. Playing guitar is mad, I animate, and one thing I do is record voices, I'm going to try doing that my next trip (hopefully tonight!) and I think it will send me in a loop. Grab your favorite cds, and stare at the artwork, you'll see new things, everything is so vibrant. I can almost swear since I've dropped acid, I've had a permanent afterglow of colors being more vibrant. Maybe I just notice the subtle things more, but I honestly feel like everything in my world is more vivid.

I caution you, if you plan to solo trip, it most be done with caution. So those documentaries I mentioned are a big help. here is a GREAT site to look at:
http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/lsd/faq.htm

It is possible to solo trip your first time, I did it, but here are my suggestions if that's going to be taken into consideration: 1. Please learn as much as you can, so on the trip you know what's happening. A strong mind is needed for this, the ability to go out of control while remaining under control
2. I had the ability to text my friends, and that helped a lot. It showed me there were more people, when I was feeling I was all alone with only my self.
3. This site is a great rebound for concerns while on the trip. Go to the psychedelic bump, or make a new thread here about a concern or question you have, and we can help you out
4. Be prepared for contradicting thoughts. It can be a mindful. You will have to learn to accept that you aren't going to "find answers" if anything you only find more questions, but you seem to understand that an answer, isn't always what you need to find.
5. I recommend having a good excuse, say your parents came into your room in the middle of the trip, no need to worry, pretend you have fallen asleep.. There's nothing they can do.

But I would like to note, that having your parents home during the trip isn't the safest thing you can do. They will naturally make noises while sleeping. Anything, you will take note of, and it can sort of frighten you, I always like to look at the clock to be sure I am safe. Then it isn't always the weirdest thing to get a midnight snack. So when you know they are asleep going down to the rest of the house can be fun, and if they were to catch you, you may be going wild, but from their perspective you look completely normal, the only thing that will be different is the dilation of your pupils, and by night, that won't seem suspicious.

This can be scary, but you should know it can be done. I'd probably reccomend a trip-sitter friend however, that can always "be your look out". Inform your friend of things that you have learned about LSD before dropping, so they know not to mess with you or anything. You will be able to hold up a conversation with you friend, and he/she may benefit from it too-not nearly to the extent you will however. Having a friend will also make everything seem more normal, you might even be able to get a different room in the house "to sleep in" to be further from your parents. I would suggest this option if possible. Your own home can be fun. Nature certainly has another appeal, but as set and setting are whats needed. It may be best to experiment in a familiar environment. Do take the precautions needed, because you have NO idea what to expect until you try it.

 

I hope you're not planning on doing it when your parents are home

 

^ My thoughts exactly but... :shrugs:

 

Thank you again Black_Lotus

I guess I won't be doing it when my parents home, they are out all day so i guess i'm fine . I'll do it during the day when i'm free

lmao

 

Do anyone know how much it cost, so I know I'm not being rip off....

Someone offered for $15

 

for how much? It usually runs 8-10 a hit. And you probably want 2-3 hits. So you should be looking at $20-$30 ish.

 

2-3 hits for one time? Sorry for asking too many questions

 

Yes, unless it's very strong stuff you'll want 2-3 hits.
