POLL: Do you use LSD?

Its not that hard... hooray for acid!

 

no because i dont know where to get acid from
if i did knew, i would be a full blown acid head

 

I have tried acid 2 times and I like it but its not my thing rather just smoke my weed

 

I have done acid 100+ times and the last time was in like 2002 I think, since then the only "acid" I got was total bunk..lol..It is around me now and then though, but I do not really know the people who trip these days, I prefer weed and shrooms now mostly.

 

Hello new found community lol this thread seem like a good thread to start off with .. Although I'm a noob to forums I'll respond to the nature of the thread and say I've only pierced the threshold of this amazing substance . Just like others I'm awaiting for the day I get the word of availability in my area ... Not for abuse but to translate its effect into my finger tutting skillS and produce a jaw dropping light show ..all hail phycadelics *spell check lol* even tho I've only open the door into what is my self conscious haha

 

I've done it more times than I can recollect. ( I stopped counting years ago )
I haven't done any for two years now, it's not something that's around a lot anymore it seems.
Maybe I'm just getting too old and the youngsters don't trust me any more.

I will say that since Jerry died it has become less and less plentiful and ridiculously expensive.

If anyone want's to read some good stuff about LSD read this :

It's about the brotherhood of eternal love.
They were a biker gang that took acid and turned into hippies
They got together with Owsleys old assistant Tim Scully and proceded to run the biggest LSD smuggling network in the world for many years after.
if you don't know the story, this is it.

Ive done acid around 10 times, not that hard to find in SF.

 

I live and breathe lsd <3

 

The shit should be legal. The reason for this is that it is much more dangerous when it's illegal, if someone passes off a research chemical as LSD and you take an LSD safe dosage you might get way too fucked up. This could lead to severe mental problems, not cool man

Every individual is part of the next generation for those they are younger than. We need a future based on advances in medicine through proper use of psychedelics, not advanced psychosis through abuse of psychedelics

 

Don't worry my friend in his 40's with kids can find better acid then me. He's an old school Dead head who still relies on other older heads. Good chance the kids selling on lot have NBOME. Sure there is still fire LSD to be found but NBOME makes it easy to trick a noob and it's dirt cheap if you know where to look. $150 for 100's if not 1000's of hits you could sell for 10 each to someone as LSD if you were an ass.

 

LOL, what the fuck does that have to do with anything....
:rofl:

 

Quite a bit actuly. I take it you are not aware of how crucial the Grateful Dead were to the trafficking of LSD.

 

All those "trafficking" people moved on to following Phish, Widespread panic, other jam bands and festivals.

I find it hilarious that at those dead shows, all these trippin' folks in the audience thought there was this whole collective psychedelic vibe going on and Jerry's up there, dick in the dirt from shooting junk! LOL

 

To an extent yes but many of them did not. I know this for reasons you don't share on a public board.
Phish and Panic have NOTHING on the size of a Dead show. The open market for things exists there too but they not are getting 100,000 people and 80,000 never go in the show. They just party in the parking lot. It's a good place to sell whatever.

I can see you just don't get what it was all about. You mock the "hippies" and don't see the point. Yeah there was heroin or ANY drug you could want or imagine at a Dead show. But there are drugs at any show and most people at the shows did not use such drugs. And in general the hard drug users hang with their own. Most of us hippes are content to smoke and trip.

 

I'm one hell of a lot older than your punk-ass so don't purport to tell me I don't get "what it's all about". Boo-hoo about your acid scene. You just don't know the right people, as they say. The people I knew that were into distributing trips weren't in it for the money. They didn't "traffic" in LSD, and they didn't care about a "market". Thats why we got it for 50cents a hit most of the time, if not for free.
I mock hippies do I? Well, Jerry was addicted to heroin. That's not a judgment on his character, it's simply a fact. He wasn't up there on the same wavelength as the trippin' folk. My personal opinion is the Grateful dead sucked most of the time, and a lot of the underground live tapes (which I had to listen to hours of, everytime I went to my weed dealer, who really wished my band would play some Dead) bare that out. Hows that for a mock, neohippie-boy...?

 

It's a good mock which makes clear you don't really dig the Grateful Dead. Happily you added to it that it is just your personal opinion (I happen to share it btw, but it is trivial to the subject)

A genuine question: does the fact that you are a lot older and actually experienced the acid scene a decade or so earlier automatically makes you "get what it is all about" and a person like unfocussedanakin doesn't? LSD definitely is harder to get, unless you know the right guy. But maybe it is harder to know the right people because the scene is smaller then when the grateful dead was in their heyday.

 

No, just responding in kind to the assumption.

 

We are a few generations removed now, so it's difficult to tell the authenticity if you will of subsequent acid culture but this Hunter S. Thompson quote makes the 60's sound like a pretty special time period.

 

Thomson had a knack for counter-culture writing, but his drug of choice was obviously booze. It's hard for me to believe he gained much enlightenment from his experiences, having blown his brains out an' all.

 

Yes good point, another thing I didn't care for regarding Thompson was his critiscim of Timothy Leary's message, when Thompson's approach to drugs was in many ways antithetical to Leary's.

Still though, Thompson had some quality work.
