ganesh artwork?

Flashbacks are simply experiencing hallucinations or other LSD like effects after LSD should have worn off.

They're usually potentiated by something. Like when I've been quite high, and sort of nervous, and once for example, walked from outside (where I'd been walking in the woods without a light, so I was very alert and nervous, we have large cats here....) in to my warm, lighted kitchen, I had, for about 30 seconds, full on acid effects, with patterns projecting across my field of vision, wavy lines, etc. Then I got used to being inside, calmed down, and it went back to just being stoned.

Flashbacks are not the same type as PTSD flashbacks.

 

.......arrrgh.

Oh well.

To add to that about flashbacks, you can get HPPD, or similar things, where you ALWAYS trip. It's not really HPPD, but very predictably, if I'm tired and in low light, like if I go to bed and have to get up for a little while, everything flashes dimly, like the room has a strobe with a towel thrown over it. It's quite predictable, and I think might have something to do with altering/interfering with the rate at which my eyes and visual cortex communicate, or between my visual cortex and whatever else it communicates with. This seems to have been set off by DOB, but I'd taken LSD and a host of other things before that.

 

lol i decided im giving weed up for acid :] lol man i could only get one of the hits because i had to pay my dealer in quarters so yeah long story but its about $10 a hit and man that was the greatest time of my life thinking about doing it in school like half of one or go to school coming down from it... but yeah its a bit hard to force yourself to do something the high kinda directed me where to go and what to do... i was soo messed up lol haha

 

You said that your read The Doors of Perception, yet you talk about how "fucked up" you were on acid? What an interesting fellow you are.

 

Sounds like a good reason not to go to school tripping on acid.. although tripping at school *can* be interesting (I have done it twice, just never on LSD) I think your LSD could be much better spent relaxing at home.

If you can only get a small amount at a time you might as well make the best of it, no? :2thumbsup:

 

c'mon, dude. don't take it at school. take it in the woods or somewhere out in nature.

interesting what you said about it directing you where to go and what to do. my brother mentioned that on his first LSD trip - at a jam-band music festival in the woods. he said that he could see all the evil around, and he would just know - don't go over there...gotta go over here. don't wanna do that, gotta do this.

 

@ delta 9 :i kinda skimmed through the doors of perception and i found the ideas about seeing atoms moving and how bassically its us being truely sober
@ rooRshack im not a genious ill admit that but there was no reason to be a dick man... dont hate appreiciate or gtfo of my thread...
@ porkstock when im on any drug i ussually at some point get a evil aura that i think only i can feel... and everything that would scare me in real life tends to make me feel awesome its weird lol but i RARELY have problems with bad trips and i dident have one on acid but yeah evil aura gives me power lol calm bored aura gives me wisdom and happiness gives me idiotic courage haha its weird

 

My apologies BBAD, I suppose that wasn't the most constructive way to put it. But this frustrates me. Allow me to try again....

1.First of all, weed and acid are rather different kinds of drugs. If you're taking them for the exact same reason (more on that "reason" in a minute) then you shouldn't take either. Also, taking LSD more than about once a week will not work, because of tolerance.

2.If you're paying your dealer in quarters, it says a lot of things. For one, you're going to have one unhappy dealer, and if you keep it up, you won't have a dealer at all for very long. For another, you have more important things to worry about, if you don't actually have money to spare you shouldn't be spending money on drugs, and you probably are spending your parents money... which is fine if they give you spending money, but if they don't give you enough for acid, save it or don't take acid. Don't be desperate about it.

3.Acid can be fun. It can also be terrifying. It magnifies what you're thinking, basically. If you took one hit, you have absolutely no idea how intense it can be, or even what it really is. School is a very bad place for it, at least with the way you're trying to use it. More on that in a second, too.

4.If you want to get "fucked up", acid is not the drug for you. Also, with your dose, you have no clue what "fucked up" even is. This is a very serious drug, that causes very serious changes in how you think and what you think about. If you just want to get "fucked up", you're going to hurt yourself with it. Getting fucked up is why you drink alcohol, not take LSD. Yes, you can take LSD without some greater motivation than seeing shit, but you still have to want to see shit in a healthy sort of way. And it is apparent that you do NOT have any clue what you're playing with, this will not end well for you if you don't change up things.

Either don't take LSD or psychedelics, or do some learning about acceptable ways to take them, and gain a much more thorough understanding of exactly what all they do, what all you can accomplish with them, and how badly they can hurt you if you misuse them. From the start of this thread, it was apparent that you had a dangerous way of looking at LSD: This is not a substance to use to trick yourself or delude yourself (with time travel or whatever silly idea you had), or you will become seriously deluded and damaged, schizophrenic, or something of the sort. You can convince yourself of all sorts of things on LSD or after taking it (though not with "flashbacks") but if you want to, you're going to get seriously hurt. You need to want to clarify things, not get "fucked up" (which is synonymous with clouding things, hiding from reality, etc)

If you read on this forum, there's lots of examples of what can go wrong with drugs, of all sorts. Like one of our members, who (after lots of irresponsible LSD use) took mushrooms (which contain a similar chemical) and basically developed some sort of schizophrenic psychosis, which lasted him for weeks or months. (as in, saying and doing things to try to impress the voices in his head, literally) And he wasn't even TRYING to delude himself, like you've talked about.

Check yo'self befo you wreck yo'self, knickka.

*edit* also, learn to type in a semi-intelligent manner. If you can't communicate effectively about taking LSD, you have a lot of personal work to do before you take LSD. typn liek dis issnt kewl. It is, however, fucking annoying and seriously interferes with whatever you're trying to get across.

*edit2* No, I will not get out of your thread, and I will not appreciate your reckless and stupid use of drugs either. But I think this post spells out exactly what and why I mean, than before. So read it. Before I might have been a dick, but me taking the time to write out this post is QUITE considerate of you, as opposed to writing you off as a lost cause. Even if you'd like to, I'd rather you don't spend your adult life in a strait jacket.

*edit3(yes, 3)* Getting "fucked up" is a term used by people trying to use drugs to escape. You can not escape with acid, and trying will end with you hurting yourself very badly.

 

Hmm, are there different scales of flashbacks? But for a few days after I trip I don't get any actual visuals like RooRshack described, but I sometimes see pictures completely differently. The most crazy one that happened to me was of this:

It came up on StumbleUpon and I just saw a cityscape, but in a fair bit of detail. It was still that exact picture but I wasn't looking at a croc until I blinked and then it just kinda snapped back and the city became a chilling crocodile.
Not sure how to explain it, but hopefully you guys should know what I'm getting at?

 

More like acid induced changes in perception, perhaps a different form of HPPD. Everyone's brain is different, and what you're describing SORT of happens to me sometimes, though not that dramatically usually. But especially high, yeah, sort of/sometimes. And yeah, the first few days after acid are a strange mix of very refreshed, and things being very bizarre, at least to me.

 

@rooRshack DUDE DONT TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE I CAN DO WHAT I WANT MAN AND I DONT NEED TO INSULT PEOPLE BY DOING IT YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME AND YOU DONT KNOW WHY I TAKE DRUGS... I TAKE THEM FOR ARTISTIC PURPOSES IM A MUSICIAN IM NOT YOUR TEACHER SO IM NOT THE BEST SPELLER SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOUR BETTER THAN ME MAN... if you seriouslly feel the need to help me out start by not being so ignorent to me maan... and fyi i have DPD and have schizophrinic stuff every so often not too bad though i allways wanted to just take acid but ussually its not around my parts so i smoked weed ussually...

 

weed and psychedelics aren't very healthy for someone with schizophrenic symptoms..

roorshack is pretty much spot on

 

this is NOT what ganesh had in mind...
