LSD, one of the most, if not the most, powerful psychedelic drugs out there. The main question of this thread, whether I personally should, or should not take LSD and try to trip. As to not make the topic boring, I will try to condense all the information I can, into as small paragraphs as I can. First of all, who am I. Safe to say, I am a 17 years old teenager, who is going under a rather stressed and depressed life. I have known a lot of stress, I have undergone depression and exhaustion and I believe, or want to believe, that I am generally an open minded person - as a result I am making this thread- with a little bit more sophisticated and philosophized point of view. I believe I am an emotional, sensitive and heart-acting person, without this implying lack of brain or thought; on the contrary, I think of myself as a rather thinker, without wanting to boast about myself. I see boredom, human mass production, lack of creative thinking & emotion as well as prejudism and generally the negative side of human nature in the world and today's society, but I am getting amazed by the nature, existence and the complexity of life and spontaneity in this life. From the religious aspect, I consider myself as a LaVeyan or Atheist Satanist (please do not judge if you do not know), trying to carve my own way in life. I hope this few pieces of information about me has given an adequate insight in my psychology and what kind of man I am. As a student and a teenager, I know little stuff about the unstable, psychedelic drug of LSD. I know that the drug has different effects based on different personalities and states, but I am keen on trying it, to open myself on a new perception and reality; how the world can appear to us if we observe it differently, which raises more "theory of knowledge" and philosophical questions. I know that LSD as a substance is not addictive, may change your point of view to the best, and cultivate your wisdom and if taken by the right people at proper conditions, it could turn out great. I am thrilled by the idea of viewing the world differently, that the world might be else of how we perceive it and that the same senses that guide us are limited compared to the enhanced senses under LSD usage. From one perspective, LSD can enhance my personality, widen my horizons & carry me through a unique experience, like no other. However, I am also partially afraid of taking the acid. First, finding a good, sure thing that I am guaranteed it is of most quality is hard and unsure, apart from official smart shops in the Netherlands. This, along with the knowledge that LSD might have a negative effect on me, such as driving me in schizophrenia or in deep, dangerous depression, raises questions in my mind. I have heard from friends, that people they knew had committed suicide and they were all taking LSD. In addition, the effects of the substance are addictive, so I am afraid if I get addicted to it, even though I believe I will not and that I have self control & discipline. Eventually, LSD can cause a truly negative change in my life, leading to my decay or even death. All in all, according to my psychology and character, should I try to take LSD, or should I avoid it like the plaque. Bottom line, if I desire to use it so much, shouldn't I follow my instincts & desires? Please, let me know any additional advantages & disadvantages of LSD consumption, if I should or not take it and if I should, under what conditions and how can I monitor these conditions and my safety. Thank you in advance.
Welcome to HF. U can answer most of your own questions by doing a ton of research. Its not someone elses job to figure out if u should use drugs. We are not Doctors? Do u do any drugs, or are u friends with anyone who knows u well and has done acid? They could give you more insight on weather or not it might be for you. Are you hoping to gain something from lsd or do you just wanna get high?
I have done "Dragon's Dynamite" truffle, but wasn't as hallucinating as I had thought. And yes, it is not your job to tell me whether or not I should take the drug, but that is what forums are for, aren't they? I have done "some" research, but I don't think it is compared to any personal experience and recommendations any user can give me. Lastly, I do have a friend who kinda "babysat" me during the truffle consumption but has not done shrooms/acid/hard drugs. But we have made that deal; whenever one of us gets high on something, the other guy should remain clean and prevent the user from doing anything dangerous... and I dont want to just get high, I want to try how it is, get high and broaden my horizons & enhance my point of view.
Didn't mean to come of harsh if I did . Lsd can get very deep. You havee to have a VERY open mind on it. There is also many research chemicals being sold as acid so watch out. Imo one hit would be plenty for your first trip if it was decent. Once it hits your toung there is no going back. I still find myself doing research on it almost daily 15years after my first trip. Learn alot about it almost daily still. There is some really great people here who will chime in soon with great info. Again sorry if I came off rude. Do u already have a hook up for it?
Its all cool man, and no, I do not. I am unaware of who to rely on; getting any substance unpacked is unsafe in my opinion, so some legal, packed/bottles acid sold at some smart shop in Amsterdam can only guarantee you quality. But hard drugs are illegal even in Amsterdam, aren't they?
You aren't going to find LSD being sold in stores anywhere in the world, period. A lot of your fears regarding LSD are straight out of the urban myth encyclopedia. You are not going to do anything stupid or dangerous under the influence of LSD that you wouldn't do sober. You don't "lose control" whatsoever and are able to be fully aware of what are effects from the drug. Poke around the forums and look through some of the old posts, lot's of good info here. The harshest thing about LSD is it provides a no-bullshit, honest look into yourself and your relationships. If you are ready/able to stare down your own personal demons, then you should be fine, even if your not 100% ready for that type of introspection, it's still a very, very,very safe substance to use, both physically and psychologically. Statistically less than .01% of people who have taken LSD have any long term negative effects. If you are concerned about quality/purity, just know that probably 98% of what is sold as LSD is in fact LSD. Best advice, drop all your preconceptions regarding LSD and just go for it.
Solid point there, but in general I believe that under the effect of any drug, such as shrooms or acid, might be similar to alcohol, you get all out freaky. If what you are saying is indeed correct, I am actually relieved to be mistaken, thank you. Since I am being pretty honest with myself, the only thing remaining is to buy the stuff. The best recommendation is by coming in contact with a seller/supplier?...
I think to do LSD, you need somewhat of an impulsive personality. You have to go with the flow when the flow calls. If you try to fight the effects,you will be sunken by a wave. I hope you learn to love. I hope you will see more beauty in the world after an experience. Your current views on LSD are brought up by false propaganda used to illegalize the substance by conservative know nothings. LSD is one of the safest drugs in the world, and you will be perfectly controllable on it. I wouldn't take it during a depressing state, but if your having a good day, etc. your mind into the drug makes all the difference. You have to find for yourself, because no one will be able to justify it. Solo or spiritual trips are much different than a fun party use of the drug, so you get what you put in times 1000, so you decide. Check out the gooddrugsguide.com and look for LSD question and answers
Yes, I understand what you mean, the whole propaganda thing is also partially right, but they are/were just some fears & doubts I have myself. Thank you for the link as well.
With well over 200 experiences with LSD I have never had one single instance where I felt out of control or was not able to act perfectly normal. Most all the times you hear of someone getting "all out freaky" and doing stupid shit is because the person was an idiot in the first place. You are fully aware and in control with LSD. Try it, you'll be surprised at how it is nothing like what you imagine and so much more than you ever could imagine.
haha thanks, and sorry if I am getting on your nerves with stupid questions, just wanna be as informed as possible about what I am gonna do, plus I am new to drugs. Lastly, is there any way(apart from trying it) to verify that what I am gonna buy is not gonna be bullshit made by the seller? Only good reputation & good words from friends I guess?...
That is a very good approach. I feel that lsd is an amazing, life changing substance. But it's not a toy. Elaborating on what Nox said about idiots, I feel it can be dangerous when mistreated and taken lightly with no understanding or knowledge. Seek out honest, unbiased information, make up your own mind if its something appropriate for you. If you proceed like that, it will amaze you. Not really, thats about the best approach. Pay attention to the people, if you're at all sensitive you'll pick up on the good or bad vibes. Not foolproof but about the best you can do.
