yeah that's a bit cliche but true. i've taken acid plenty of times, i've even trolled. but this last time i did it i did it with a friend who is a little older and wiser and he told me that my mindset was all fucked up when it came to doing drugs. i asked him how so and he told me im always doing drugs to get fucked up not to grow. so this last time i went into it with thinking i was going to grow. i realized so many things in one night. i came to a couple of conclusion such life is love. everything is commercial and therfore disgusting. and i actually quit drinking, and i stopped smoking pot everyday. there is a lot of things i learned for myself that night and i hope anyone on here who reads this will do that same. maybe my truths aren't your truths so you kinda have to go on a trip of self discovery. all im saying is if anyone is going to try acid for the first time don't do it like any other drugs just to get fucked up and have a good time. look at it as an experience to become a better person, to find inner-peace. well those are my 2 cents.
Oh yes, you're on the way to self peace and possibly enlightenmeant! I'm glad you've decided to go that way and the acid had a positive effect on you!
Yeah same here, but for me it's came at a price. Panic disorder. At least i'm pretty sure it was the cause of it. It started right after i started taking acid. All in all i'd say it's worth the price even though panic attacks are a pain in the ass.
You can classify me in the 'it changed me' category. When closed minded people say if you take acid you're never the same I couldn't agree with them more. It's not necessarily an easy change but I wouldn't have done anything differently. But, as Ken Kesey said "everything has its trade offs"
To the original poster - right on brother. I've only dropped one time, and it is still with me as strong as ever a year later. It absolutely changed me... I realized the meaning of infinity. I realized that anything is possible. I realized that I control my life completely, and that I've at times guided it into some dark places for no reason other than self-loathing. It can absolutely have amazing therapeutic effects. If I were you, I would hold on to what you've learned for a while... maybe six months or whatever - keep practicing, read some Eastern stuff about the All and Nirvana and all of that... and as you can feel yourself progressing even more, and when you feel like you have a good head on your shoulders, drop some more. It's been a year and I'm still just now absorbing everything I've learned (not just on that one night, but through various experiences both before after the trip), and I think soon I'll be ready to drop again with total peace of mind and purity in my heart. What a great feeling that will be, and I wish you good luck on your quest for the same.
It for sure changed me. About a year ago was the first time I tripped, and like someone above said, it kinda caused some panic disorder type shit for a while. Eventually I learned to deal with that, and some other things were fixed along with that, but the most significant experience of my life was a few Saturdays ago; I took a ten strip and I really can't even explain all the things I learned from just that one trip. Things build on each other, ya know? In talking to my one buddy about it, he said he was floored by how much I had pulled out of that one experience. It literally pulled me into focus about a lot of things, and gave me a ton of direction about a lot of other things. The only way that I can really describe it is that I grew up several years in one 23 hour trip; some of the things I learned that day are things that a lot of people only learn once they've lived their entire life. It was so powerful of an experience that I feel, two and a half weeks later, it's still influencing me. The way I think about some of the things I'm reading now is still in the mindset of what happened that Saturday. It was really profound, and it is probably one of the greatest experiences of my life. I had already started not smoking as much as I had, and now it's even further down that path, though some of that is due to a change in group of friends. The drinking thing though, I totally feel you on that - during the trip, I entered a stage where drinking seemed totally repulsive, and the expression "consume vast quantities of ale" for some reason sticks with me as something I thought. I feel now as if I'm stuck in my peer group - I would stop drinking, but that's what my group of friends does; what people do at my stage in life. I guess it'll just be an easier transition later huh?
I've fallen out with alot of friends because I refuse to drink. It's not that they don't like me because I don't drink, it's just all they do is drink, so I have no reason to see them or them me. Alcohol has always repulsed me, just growing up around alot of drunk people has put me off it for life. My first trip is coming up in a week, I really hope I can gain alot, if not something from it.
Thanks for posting. I find this type of shiet interesting. In regards to the quit drinking thing. Not that I was a big boozer (but I did get fairly wasted every couple of months) in the past but ever since the increased use of LSD/Shrooms my desire and actual use of booze has dropped down to near zero (if someone offered me a free cranberry vodka I'd still take one - other than that zero use). Reading this type of input from you almost makes me laugh out loud (aka LOL) when I think of the people who FEAR and HATE psychedelics spouting the evils they bring.
its ignorance that has people believing that alcohol is nothing more then a nuisance while acid is BAD. The best we could do is spread the word heh.
Problem is people aren't interested in the word! My friend who binge drinks a few times a week, beleives acid makes your brain bleed, kills you and automatically makes you insane.
hehe, The one who laughs , laughs at the end. Their minds and bodies will eb wasted and not in good condition as that ours will be ready to learn even more and go on. yea as they say" Once you've taken it, you are changed, But you are not changed becuase this drug changed you, YOU changed yourself after it"
acid is the best!!!!!!!! only problem too expensive i don't know how much its in the USA but in places where i travel its too much for the Hippy.......
in India its 8 ,10 $ a drop its like 10 days for the hut on a beach (something if stay in India long time)... anyway ones in few months is ok!!!!!!!
