psychadelics are coming back

CatfishRivers said:
You can't really use those drug abbreviations as data points to measure this tho. Most people aren't going to be aware of those drugs, nevermind their names, and aren't going to type it into google. If you go type in "get high" you'll see a steady climb in the same date range. Also, here's on for "designer drugs" a term I think is probably more anchored in the public consciousness these days. There's probably even more representative words or phrases to judge by than the two examples I used too...

Well, they certainly know "LSD". Here's that one, still nothing, if anything it's quite a bit lower than a few years ago (and we'd expect a general increasing interest in psychedelics to be reflected in searches for those drugs that everyone knows):
viz

Aren't the majority of the new designer drugs being sold today stimulants, anyways? With all the coverage of mephedrone and the popularity of Spice I'd expect that term to get searched for (JWH-018 in the form of Spice is being sold in gas stations where I am, which is pretty surreal). I think the gray market drug scene is burgeoning, certainly, but not psychedelics, at least not substantially.
 
well there's a million different search terms you can use to argue either side of it I guess...here's one for "research chemicals" that seems to indicate there is something of a revival occurring in 2010 compared to 2008, but a definite drop off from 2004. But wasn't webtryp in 2004? That would certainly spike the data because it was a specific story in the news that temporarily raised people's awareness of it, but then a steady decline to 2008, and a slight increase towards 2010.

in the mid-atlantic right now, psychedelics are very popular. mushrooms, almost anyone can get and LSD isn't hard to find as well (although you might need a connection for quality). even the "ghetto" kids who listen to shitty hip hop all day and do oxy and coke all trip. kinda strange. the average pothead knows about RC's but most haven't tried them. of course you can get anything if youre in the right "scene"
 
Ive found like others have said that there realy is no increase ,its been going on since i was popin back in the 80s,i just find that more are doin x rather than acid,
Which also i found that the quality is not as good as i used to get though i always believed that if yer gettin good shit frm one person ya stick to that person and his quality was always great,never had to take more than 2 hits to be trippin for like 14 hours......

But "research chemicals" includes non-psychedelics. I assumed the slight rise was due to the mephedrone boom in the UK and ensuing press coverage inspiring searches for "research chemicals," so I pulled the trend graph for the UK (on top) and the US. You can see that my supposition is supported. Again, people today are more and more after the non-committal pleasure drugs. A similar argument could be made regarding the CB-1 agonists for both Europe and the US.

where im located many people "have" to do shrooms. Its like the big thing here, and all of the popular kids at the high schools trip on LSD.alot of my freinds are experimenting with DMT and almost everyone out here has smoked Salvia at least once

yeah, I still don't buy that google trends is a truly valid source of data here...in terms of public awareness as expressed over the internet, then I would tend to agree with you 100%. I'm not disagreeing, I just feel it is a limited data source that doesn't express the full picture. It is compelling tho.

it seems recently that shrooms salvia and others are becoming more and more popular at least where i live. Has anyone realized this too?

It would seam that way to me too but now thinking about it I am seeking psys a lot more lately and attending many more doofs so any new connections that I make are apart of the local psy community.

My "pre drug" friends (who are still some of my closest friends) are not into drugs at all so if I were hanging around them as much as I used to it would look as the psy community was dying.

Sorry about the long speech some low dose mushies have got me really talkative.
 
The river of Lsd never stopped flowing for NYC, i have also noticed DMT too.....glad to see..... RC too......

Shrooms little harder to get......Mescaline for me impossible so far

when did psychedelics go away?

Im sorry let me clarify, psychadelics never literally went away its just iv noticed after the 60s and 70s most people were not looking for them as much. 90s im not so sure because i was rather young but now all my freinds (even ones around the country) say theyre getting more and more easier to find. Remember when people said that 60s and 80s music will come back? it seem that way with the drug culture as well, at least to me it seems so.
 
^ How old are you lol?

Thanks for the view of the history of psychedelics drugs by how all the kewl doods are doin' it! :\
 
Found more lsd around clubs in Sydney than anything else. E is dead, acid is makin a big comeback with the dance music scene for sure!
 
I have noticed a lot more LSD going around. I have been approached on the streets with acid a couple times in the last several months. Bought twice and it was good L. Not to mention one of my newer roomates sells. The freezer probablly has at least a half sheet.
 
not really, at least where i live. still hard as fuck to get acid, and pretty much impossible to get shrooms, where as you can get ecstasy within a few minutes.
 
Not in my case either. Around here you smoke weed or do anything and everything you can think of with roxies. Acid, fake or real, is hard to come by. Even the shrooms have started to dry up because the farmers are catching on. :(
