Not for me, I ended up running around naked and pooping in a sink. True story.
that is hilarious. also, if you take a smaller dose, it helps you not run around naked pooping in sinks.
it changed my perspective on life, made me content with my world, and overall improved my life exponentially. this was after i had completely given up on life and it gave me a new reason to live. still not sure what that reason is though.
I used to dabble in it. I first did it when I was about 15. We we're on the boardwalk at night when it kicked in. Holy shit man! It was pretty crazy but fun as hell! I did it several more times over the next few years and I always enjoyed it. Well except for that one time that I thought I was deaf and blind. Not so fun. I'm not condoning it though. I'd never do it now that I've grown up (slightly) but it was a good time back then. I have to say I preferred extacy over acid. Wouldn't do that again either. I'll just stick with my weed, thank you.
I never post on this site NOT tripping.

whoa
I took my first hit when I was...17?
It was one of the most amazing (high) experiences I have been through. Everything is so much more beautiful and I felt like nothing could bring me down.
Did it again with my boyfriend a couple of months ago. Never. Again. It was too much for me to handle and I had THE worst night of my life. I thought I was going to die, I thought my boyfriend was going to die. Ugh. The thing is you create your own experience. If something happens that upsets you, you're SCREWED and in for a long, bad trip.
I'll just stick with my weed now. I'm too old for acid now.
I believe acid should be sought out for a mental high rather than a physical high. It is usually taken for the physical experience which I would never suggest and why it has a bad reputation. I usually meditate on my trips...yes the whole six hours haha
Id try shrooms first if ur gonna try anything, its less intense and it lasts about half the time if u arent enjoyimg it. Ive done both multiple times and i personally prefer acid 10x more. Id say do it with atleast 3-4 friends ur close with and you can trust. And dont even do it in the first place if u dont trust the guy ur getting it from, not worth it whatsoever. Being outdoors like at the beach or around trees when its windy is awesome. Also the visualizer on itunes will have u smiling indefinitely.
here in oregon, about 45 min west of portland every year there is a big party called the string chese festival. it's almost like those old clips u see from the 60's of people dancing in weird hippie gear, like woodstock or something. it's hella cool! anyway, I had a lot of fun and candy flipped (acid+ecstacy). sooo fun !!!!
I never have, and I'm not curious about it, so I probably never will. Even if the risks are over-stated, which I doubt, I don't really have much to gain by trying it.
I've done it twice (so far). First time was on a cold, darkrainy night in a strange place with a new girlfriend, already high on weed and coke. We did 2 powerful microdots each. I had a bad trip, thought I was going insane and would never know what was real again. Time lost all meaning, and my mind dredged up every bad experience I've ever had (some I'd repressed). It was like a Japanese horror, a really GOOD one, only in real life, and 12 hours long (might as well have been 12 years).
It changed my life forever - for the better. Doors of perception, dude. Next time was mild in comparison, but still awesome. Can't wait to go again.
That sounds like a terrible trip. Repressed memories found on acid are FAKE- TRUST ME, it happened to me and it almost ruined my life. You probably shouldn't take it anymore. Seriously. You don't have the objectivity or responsibility for it- almost no one does. Not that you'll listen, but at least I did my part by saying it.
Hey, thanks for the concern - and sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I think it's different for everyone, and I also think it could quite easily change your perception of events - both past and present. But I don't think anything new is created during an acid trip - hallucinations and memories included - things are just warped and radically distorted, so a cliffside becomes a mountain of skulls, or an innocent memory becomes.. something else.
I did point out that although I had a bad trip, I managed to enjoy it (once it finally ended!) as if I'd just seen a scary film. And the next time, over a year later, I had a regular dose and a wonderful, inspiring, beautiful trip with no bad parts, just exciting ones.
So yes, I'll certainly try it again next chance I get. My advice to others is to treat it with the respect it deserves, and accept that there's a tiny chance you'll go INSANE! But probably won't.
The best kind of insane thought!
Exactly like Halkarin said, RESPECT IT. With a good mindset and proper setting you're almost guaranteed to have a positively life-changing experience, but if you're in a bad location with negative people and/or are not mentally prepared then you can be in for one hell of a journey.
My advice to everyone; one word - MUSIC! Stuff from the 60s/70s is particularly 'special' ;)
I think last year I tried it. It was awesome and scary. A ton of people were wearing tye-dye that day. It was cool.
No, and I probably wouldn't because I'm too worried to permanently mess up my mind. I've never tried anything stronger than weed. Because even that induced hallucinations in me, it made me think I was too susceptible to mind-altering substances. Although now I think what I took at the time was probably not very good quality and cut with who knows what other stuff.
weed doesn't get cut it can be laced (cutting is what you do to heroin cocaine exstacy and meth as your adding to the chemical cocktail, the term cutting is for cutting it down i.e pure heroin with baking soda lol, you are looking for the term laced my friend) and its not cost effective to the dealer to lace marijuana sorry to blow you theory though marijuana can cause hallucinations dont labour under the theory that it cant.
Weed can actually cause hallucinations, it's just extremely rare. It means that you're very sensitive to it. Maybe it's wise not to try LSD? I'm not sure if that would be related.
It's really not that rare. It's happened to me plenty. The second time I got high, I lost all sense of superposition (which according to my psych professor is not even possible under any circumstances.) It's just a question of how much you smoke at once, how strong it is, and what kind of tolerance you have.
A guy sucked my cock when I was high on acid. That was absolutely mind blowing.
Yes, a couple times. I had used other psychs a number of times before. The second time on acid I had a bad trip, fear of insanity, all sorts of dark, repressed fears coming to the surface, intense and insane paranoid fears about cops and swat teams busting into my place, etc. The second experience was really life altering for me, I really got much more serious about life and my direction and didn't use psychs any more after this. For a little while after my bad trip, I was real paranoid and kind of nuts but this did not last for very long, about a week or so. Some people end up having real problems from this stuff though so if your considering just know that it isn't just a chemical that makes you "see shit", it is very serious business.
Acid is an absolutely amazing chemical and if taken in the right set with the right setting (mindset) it can give you one of the most significant experiences of your ENTIRE LIFE.
For anyone truly curious about trying it or just want to know more about it, this is perhaps the best resource for information regarding it (and all drugs)

tried it 2 times and had the WORST experience of my life both times (yes i was stupid enough to try it again) and the second time was when my anxiety/ptsd started which i now have to live with forever.
just to a warning to anybody thinking of trying it, DO NOT do it if you have even mild depression or anxiety...it can fuck you up. the reality it opens you up to is an extremly raw experience that is not pleasent for the sensitive.
i also know lots of people who have anxiety disorders and hppd because of lsd and you can even get ptsd from a bad trip like i did :S some of these consequences last for years or even for the rest of your life. so be careful!
i would say if youre like me, a young person who has a somewhat boring life, no job, that doesnt go out much with large groups of people and you want to experiment alone definatly do not do it...you wont be prepared! think about how much 'life experience' you have, if you are full of life and happy and have lots of raw experience doing things and meeting people then you will be more comfortable with the lsd experience
I've always been curious about it, and now i'm hearing people say that it has opened their minds, changed their perspective on life, and some people go so far as to say it gave them the inspiration t live. And I hear lots of interesting stories from friends and family. Where can I buy some LSD?
I should also add that stretching when you're on acid is one of the most amazing things I've ever felt.
A few rules for NOT losing your mind on acid:
1.) Don't freak yourself out before taking it.
2.) Don't allow yourself to think about anything unpleasant.
3.) Don't take it if you're under stress.
4.) Take it with someone you trust deeply who is experienced with it.
5.) Again, don't be afraid, but NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ACID'S ABILITY TO FUCK YOUR HEAD UP. Some of what you see will actually be real (like fractals!) Some of it will not. The fact that some of these things are really there makes it very hard to tell what's just the drug taking hold and what's the result of an open mind.
6.) Most importantly- and this goes with #5- don't feel like you have to take a lot. I've never taken more than 2 1/2 doses and that was way plenty. It takes time to hit the peak. Take too much and you'll wind up like this homeless guy in downtown Louisville who honestly thinks he's a glass of orange juice that will break if tipped over.
7.) Don't take it in public unless you're experienced.
I taking it once, but it didn't work for me. I think that I took to little. And so I was very disappointed. Next time I'll take it will be soon i think and then I will take more!
I tried ectacy, fun but i acted like a douchbag. No
More X. Tried shrooms, similar effect, but safer. Do DMT. It will change your view of life completeltly, positively or negetivly. Reserch it. Its on nearly every living thing in small amounts, its thought to cause dreams and near death experiences (dark tunnel, bright light, lesson). It stupidly illegal, the president and the pope and you and i use it every night.
Its a good time...no proven side effects except "flash backs" which honestly never happen to me. If you wanna try it, theres no hurting in that...maybe 2 or 3 times is good too. It isnt addicting and just be smart about it. Be sure to be in a safe environment around people you trust, if you were to go into a bad trip, your friends can easily distract you and snap you out of it
i can control my thoughts,Im positive i won't have bad trip or go insane
