animals on psychadelics

i read somewhere syd barrett used to give acid to his cats pink and floyd. how do you think animals react to psychadlelics?

 

I don't know how the animals react, but it is very cruel to the unsuspecting animals.

 

Where did you read that? What a horrible thing to do....geez. But syd was so fucked up, in his mind he probably thought he was doing them a favor...helping the cats to expand their mind Anyone who does such a thing is cruel and on of the biggest jackasses on the face of the earth.

 

I can't imagine why anyone would think that this would be in the slighest bit amusing. Just a sick thought, truly.

 

Yea that is a bit much isn't it.


"witches" and "worlocks" would often feed their pets some (although substancially less than themselfs) of their magic potion. Someday I don't doubt that I will induce evolution in my pets... just with great caution and concern for them, and not with man made substances...

 

ive heard of some one who kept mushrooms in the same place of his house (like on the same table) and let his dog eat them and then he'd put more mushrooms on the table. The dog supposedly knew what was going on and the guy kept them out all the time. the dog would eat em when he wanted to trip. i have no proof or source to this. heard through the grape vine.,...

ive narcated a hampster with cannabis smoke (call me cruel, im sorry) and ive given a cat mushroom dust and once a little aMT i think. i dunno, but you cant tell in small animals like the hampster, but you can tell in a dog or cat, a compassionate animal.

spiders have been given LSD 25 in labratory settings and it was found the tessalation pattern of their webs change while they were under the influence of the drug.

 

actually, many many years before people ever tried lsd, animals did. look up the notes on the production of lsd by hoffman. they said they were looking for a headache cure, and the animals only reacted by seeming happier. this is what i read. it was nothing interesting at the time, so they put it aside. then one time when hoffman was going over his notes he saw how these animals reacted and thought it interesting, and so begins the classic tale of the first lsd experience by a human... i'm sure you all know that one...

 

Don't caterpillars eat mushrooms? Do ya'll think they are tripping all the time? Someone asked me this and at first I thought it was a stupid question but now after thinking about it, do they?!

 

check out this book called buzzed, it talks about reindeer eating mushrooms and hunter noticed this and tried the mushrooms themselves, they were very potent cubenis. So potent, in fact, that they drank there piss afterwards to trip again! a certain speceis of flies travels with the seasons to catch all the fermenting grains and such on them (gets drunk). A lot of animals natural eat psychedelics, i just cant remember all of them. look it up!

 

reindeer & the mushroom Amanita muscaria

(the fly agaric mushroom - yellow/orange/red cap with white dots all over em; NOT a Psilocybe species at all, different chemistry, yaddayadda...)

 

i thought some animals would dig a psychadelic, in reasonable doses.

 

thanks for clearin that up grm23. aminita. i know there are some other animals that eat shit, i jus cant think of em

 

Some animals enjoy psychedelics, and some do not. With a pet, it has be their choice. Drugging them is not cool. We have a 15 year old Airedale that loves to eat mushrooms when she is in the mood. She has a blast.

 

so how did the airedale figure it out the first time?

i myself had a hamster back in the day that i dosed with everthing i got my hands on ( which wasnt much really - pot, liquor, shroom tea) - the shroom tea made him move very slow, and if he stopped to stare at anything for a while he would often lean back and then fall over while looking at it - i hope i'm not going to hell for that. he didnt freak out at least ( but who can tell whats going thru a hamsters mind?)

there was that fictional nature movie where the bear eats shrooms.. anyone know what i'm talking about?

 

i was wondering the same thing, airedale is a dog right???

 

LOL, man i was just playing with my gerbils while i am blazed, gerbils experience is very real to say the least, i just felt the vibrations and saw how normal yet so very small they are in comparison with my vibrations, yet they are equal vibrations, equally intense.

 

How about on unsuspecting humans?

 

depends who they are and what you plan on doing with them...

 

My friend's cat got into his mushrooms and ate the better part of a bag. I saw it while it was tripping. It was seriously freaked out. Howling like it was in heat or something. Later on, it attacked my friend's hands when he tried to pick it up, and tore them to shreds. He was more pissed about losing the shrooms, though.

 

I've seen a pair of 1 year old cats trip from LSD on several occasions that were closely monitored during the experiment. The two cats had never been fed anything but cat food, so the dose was placed with some cheese, so they could easily realize that they were eating something new and unique.

Only about 1/8 of a hit was placed inside of the cheese, and there was one piece for each of them.

The cats began displaying signs of being under the influence of LSD about 30 minutes later. They appeared to be getting lost in trails, as they were observed moving their paws in front of their field of vision in rapid fasion, seemingly lost in the trails.

They would look at an object and then bob their heads up and down, and chase things in the air that weren't there.

Outside, they displayed similar behavior. They climbed up small ornamental landscape trees and maneuvered around almost in the way a monkey would.

Throughout the duration of the experience, they displayed very little signs of distress or discomfort, all in all, they displayed a lot of the same characteristics the average human would during their first LSD experience.

They appeared to be affected for about 10-12 hours, and the next day, seemed to be 95% back to their normal state, although there was an occasional moment where they appeared to be tripping again.

The next time the cheese was offered, about 2 weeks later, the pair of cats eagerly accepted. This time, the main difference in their behavior seemed to be that the effects of the LSD weren't nearly as intense or unique, as their actions were a lot less animated and erratic.
