Acid Casualties

I was very interested by cases like that of Syd Barret or Roky Erikson and many other acid casualties. I thought it would be interesting if people shared some of their personal experiences with acid casualties or just anyone who's mind went another direction from drugs.

Ofcourse only if you feel comfortable doing so!

 

acid casualties? i think the only ones who are a benefactor of this title would be the ingrates who comitted suicide on lsd. other than that people who seem to get fucked from acid , are actually only fucked up on their own brain. its a low evolutionary trait in humans/ i think atleast

 

natural selection 4 lyfe.

bill hicks did a stand up about it, you guys should check it out. the only people who are truly helpless are the ones who have some sort of genetic flaw. while i have the utmost respect for Syd, he should have paced himself and listened to his mind.
i don't think he actually thought he was schizo, i read somewhere that he got mad at Waters or Gilmour, maybe somebody else(can't quite remember), because they announced that he was schizo. it would be better to say he just didn't want to be in the band and let him live his life. for all we know he could have been more evolved than most.

a lot of these cases are just casualties of themselves.

 

people dont really go insane from acid

they just understand whats going on....

 

dude, if you dont believe in acid casualties, watch the film doc pink floyd and the syd barret story..its sad man it really is..

 

I dont think syd barret is an acid casualty he did exactly what he had to.

 

yeah. I'm gonna stop considering anybody like Syd acid casualties. It's well known that LSD is a very powerful mind altering substance. If it changes someone so much it shall be no surprise.

 

have any of you who claim 'acid casualties' even done any pure lsd? not talking about 'acid' but the real motherfucking deal. i think it all depends on your mind and how what you can personally handle. ive got about 6 vials of pure czechlesovakian pin-point on hand. out of all of the L i have ever sold and done i have to say for sure this is the absolute strongest and most potent in every regard...way stronger than the double dosed mad hatter.

i think to have a real opinion in this you have to have some REAL xD exxxperience with lsd. i have had friends who are never the same after taking just a little bit of my stuff. its not a toy or a game, not for everyone. like i said you have to have the right mind to handle absolute stimuli and thats about it. other than that sounds like some bunk shit 2 me...sounds like the MFs that say all 'acid' has stric 9...:lol: other than that i hope everyone is having a tripppped out st pattys and gettin their drink on...freak out live love it!

Ok im gona post my reply to these threads as honestly as i can. I have been a true acid casualty, in that I have spent years of my life, escaping the solipsist nature, of the powerful experiences i have endured on LSD. There are those that say that they can take as much LSD as they like, and they never fall into the category of an acid casualty. Thats true, manly because LSD is not a drug that creates a set neurological effect in the brain like ecstasy, which induces an extreme release of serotonin in whoever takes the pill. LSD is more attuned to an enzyme, that helps to expand the mindset of the individual that takes it. LSD in its biological effects triggers the brain to open aspects of itself, that are not normally used in everyday function. LSD therefore can cause an overload of the information, that exists in all your minds, but this overload can and does lead to individuals, learning and experiencing, true natures of the universe in which we live. The only problem is that the nature of these experiences, is so far removed from any other experiences, that any other individual has experienced in their lives. That anybody that has experienced an enhanced perception is ultimately disregarded by the scientific method of analysis that prevails our times! My experience of expanded conciousness, tell me that we are all a unified spectrum of existence, that has no boundaries or restrains, in our conciseness or physical beings .

 

acid isn't the cause or cure of any personality disorder, but perhaps a catalyst ..the match that lit the bomb ...but anything could have lit it, a break-up, coffee, pot, depression over time, medication.

 

Myself, I am not a victim of acid casualty, how ever for a solid week I felt i truely was.

Usually who I buy from, her stuff isnt weak but its not strong, so one day i decided to blow my mind and take 10. However she failed to mention she payed a little extra for her stuff, and got a much greater vial.

So i took the 10 with my friend. My friend has a very very strong mind. And while we had the greatest trip of our life, the next day he was done. But i wasnt for a full week I was lost in the world. I dont mean i sat down wondering. I really mean lost in it, anyone who has done LSD clearly knows what I am talking about. It was single handedly the biggest life changing event in my life, seeing everything for what it was, how it is, and how it ticks.

I dont think it was a casualty in anyway, I am greatful it happened, and I still do LSD, just it was literally out of this world.

 

I am pretty sure I've tripped on actual LSD...as I totally get the never being the same after taking it.

 

It's maybe a bit ironic, but I was actually more of a weed casualty. Weed had a tendency to really mess my mind - make me paranoid and utterly down on myself - depressed, even almost catatonic at times. Acid was almost always good for me. One time I dropped some when I thought my parents were going to be gone on vacation for a couple more days - and they came home early, while I was tripping. It was just no problem. They decided they wanted to go out to the theater and watch American Graffiti. So I went with them and had a great time. And when I smoked weed while tripping, the acid counteracted the bad effects of the weed, and it made for a very cool trip. I've never known anybody who was an acid casualty.

 

acid casualties were invented by people who were to scared to take it for themselves, a sort of excuse out of fear..leary once said “LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.”

 

LSD is a sacrament I chose to take. Yeah, I'm different, but at least it's not for the worse. If I hadn't done it I'd probably still be sitting around feeling self-righteous thinking that I'm hot shit when in all reality everyone IS me and I am them.

So thank you, LSD, thanks for that.

 

I think Syd , had other unrelated "mental issues" . I think he would have been the same even without acid . Eveyone always said "he blew his mind" . I think it's true there is a fine line between genius and madness . I think he even produced an album or two of his own if memory serves . Syd Barret Madcaps from the madhouse , or something like that . So to some degree maybe he was aware of his situation . However ,then again maybe he was exploited by others for there own gain to profit from his mental instability . Who knows , and maybe it was the acid effect on such a sensitive mind . In any event I think the acid was the effect , not the cause .

 

I can vouch for this with shrooms. When I was still at college and caning a shitload of weed every day, I got myself into a bit of a paranoid state and always thought people were talking about me behind my back. Then came a nice dose of liberty caps and during that trip it highlighted the fact that I was just paranoid, and came back feeling refreshed and like a weight had been lifted off my chest.

But anyway, I'm surprised nobodies said it yet.. If anyone in your family has any mental problems/diseases such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety and other shit like that.. genetic "disorders", you probably shouldn't be taking psychedelics, that's the only kind of "casualty" you're likely to encounter.. besides HPPD which is pretty fuckin' rare.

 

No one watched "its fern" on youtube?

 

I think maybe what happens is psychedelics can help one to see though the bullshit, whether they want to at that time or not...once you see through it all it's hard to ignore it and function in this sick society. At least that is my opinion based on my experience.

 

My right wing fundamentalist attitudes were an acid casualty.
