I am of course aware that LSD is much more powerful than weed, however I'm more interested in knowing if there are any shared elements, given the LSD will evoke a much stronger response... will it give me fits of giggles, give me a greater appreciation of music, slow down time, or make me feel disconnected at all?
I plan on taking just one tab, btw.
I mean, sure, you might giggle on both, and you might enjoy listening to music on both, but not because the high is at all similar. Most drugs that are worth taking recreationally will make you giggle sometimes and will go well with music. I laugh when I'm tickled, and I laugh when I hear a funny joke, but not because funny jokes tickle. Does that make any sense?
They operate on completely different receptor systems in the brain. There are some similarities, which is why a lot of people consider pot to be a mild psychedelic in its own right, but they are very, very different experiences. LSD is in no way "just like pot but stronger."
Pot slows down time in the sense that I can lose track of how long I've been doing whatever I'm doing. LSD can slow down time in the sense that you can be staring at a clock and it will just stop, and it will feel like you spent hours and hours in that single second (or like you don't even know how to begin to think of how long it was, because the very concept of time stops making sense to you). Pot makes you giggle because you're easily amused and find everything funny. LSD can make you giggle uncontrollably for no apparent reason, until you reach the divine revelation that all existence is cosmic laughter echoing infinitely through the void. Surface similarities abound, but in general weed is a familiar, predictable, comforting, routine experience, while LSD is a wild, crazy, unpredictable adventure.
Notice that I said "pot does X," and "LSD
can do X." LSD is a lot less predictable than pot, especially with the more intense mental effects. You can't really predict, e.g., how much time dilation you will experience on a given dose - a higher dose makes it more likely to be more intense, but each experience is quite unique.
