Ok Increased sensory and emotional impression due to a high dose of some premium LSD seems to have left me in tears during the come down of an intense visual trip in the forest. i was fine during the day and somking weed actually made it worse. i ended up poping a lorazopam and then seroquel later but i would regard it as highly unpleasant. has anyoue else had similar experiences ?? if you cried tripping, share .

probably related to serotonin.
ive never gone to tears, but i actually find the next day comedown to be quite comfortable and warm, yet with a hint of melancholy. its a perfect time to youtube a K or J-romantic comedy :D
eat a lot and youll be fine.
i get major munchies the next day.

*not to jack your thread homie but, does anyone else get nice and plump down below the next day, even when flaccid? ive been trying to figure that one out. my studies have lead me to the conclusion that it is caused by a decrease in cAMP, which allows for vasodilation, but im not sure...
 
Why would you take seroquil, a benzo I can understand. But seroquil, Im guessing you took it to kill the trip but dam lol. You must of had a bad trip.
 
Ugh, seroquel... horrible stuff.

In my short time with lsd, I've cried twice~ usually during the comeup actually. I find them pretty cathartic... and the times I haven't cried, I usually feel this emotional build up inside that needs to be let out. Just some way to flush the emotion. I either need to dance, laugh or cry~ if I do neither it's like this pressure inside that needs to be released.

It just sounds like your body is responding the way it needs to, maybe even something beyond just your body. If you're crying, you're feeling~ and it's probably not something you should deny yourself. But that's my wholly unlicensed opinion at work~
 
i never cried on acid
i havent tripped moar than a few times on cid but stilll...
 
Not on acid, but I've certainly cried on mushrooms. Faceless psychedelic terror is enough to make anyone cry. I've laughed a lot, too. These drugs produce extremes of emotion, so it's no surprise that they also induce the physiological phenomena associated with those emotions. I don't really understand the point of the thread, though; are you looking for confirmation that this is normal and you aren't a "pussy"? In which case, don't worry about it, you were probably overwhelmed with emotion and exhausted, a perfectly natural situation in which to cry. Smoking cannabis is usually going to intensify a trip, not calm it, and it often is enough to push someone from a happy place to an unpleasant one.
 
I don't know why the word "pussy" has to be applied to crying~ unless you're a fucking robot, you cry... people try not to be human in the most awkward ways. There are other ways to transcend what you are, than suppressing the very things that make you alive in this universe.
 
On LSD i have never been to the point of crying(except laughing to much haha).
With mushrooms on the other hand I have a few times, mushrooms seem to be extremely introspective to all the bad I have done to me compared to other drugs.

Usually when I get to this point I try as hard as I can to turn everything around. And it also helps to have a very trust worth trip sitter who knows what your going thought (not just a friend who did mushrooms one or two times, but someone with experience) to help get you in the right place, or comfort you if needed.

I could possibly see LSD make me cry on more heroic dose ~12+ tabs for me
But im not sure if it would be from pure intensity or my thoughts.

Either way, if a psych that gives me more dark and deep introspective thought after the trip i try and fix the problem i thought of if possible to clear my conscious. JJust my beliefs on things i guess.
 
Once I think I might've cried during a really intense trip, but I'm not sure I was actually crying haha. My boyfriend and I were at a bush doof and tripping really super hard, we were sitting in the car just chilling out. Some people walked past the car and were laughing and pretend-fighting. I thought they were actually seriously fighting and in my head played out a scene where one of them got stabbed and actually died right outside our car. I was semi-freaking out for about 20 seconds and my boyfriend looked at me and said "Are you crying??" and I was like "Ummm I don't know!" hehehehe
In retrospect I don't think I was actually crying....
The trip was awesome after I realised no-one had actually died.


I've cried after an acid comedown though. Earlier last year I went to a bush doof but my boyfriend wasn't there. He was working away from home and he wasn't coming home for another 3 weeks. I still chose to take acid at the party despite the fact that he wasn't there with me because I was with a group of close friends, and it was great! But after the long 3-hour drive home the next day and having not slept all night, I got home and was totally mentally and emotionally exhausted. I couldn't get in contact with my boyfriend because his phone was out of range and I just cried and cried and cried because I missed him so much :( I don't think I've cried that hard in fucking YEARS!! I eventually got on to him and we chatted, so it was all good.

Oh yeah I've done that PLENTY of times!! =D Nearly every time I trip I laugh to the point of producing tears hahaha :D
 
Shit, I cry from happiness/gratitude/beauty/awe etc. on psychedelics all the time -- like maybe 1/3 my trips by myself involve overwhelming positive emotions that bring on tears, most often in reaction to music or viewing a scene of natural beauty. It's a cultivated practice of emotional self-manipulation and selective perceptual enhancement that I've worked at in order to feel and perceive good things more powerfully. It's not a matter of losing control like it is most often perceived for "normals" who cry, but of developing the ability to use these psychological tools to push myself towards states where you lose control in ways I invite and desire. I would consider not doing this for myself a personal weakness. I thought using psychedelics this way was a common thing, actually. It's probably the single best thing about psychedelics and I never imagined so many weren't indulging themselves. You're missing out! In my opinion feeling the sublime (in the sense of that which combines great power with beauty to the point of inspiring overwhelming feelings) is the central point of this crap!

With others I hold back to spare them the awkwardness of something I imagine they don't understand due to lack of familiarity with profound states (as in they would think I must be suffering or must be going nuts and it would ruin their trip or alter their perceptions of me in a way I don't think they'd be comfortable with). I think I've only ever lost it and cried in front of another person once on psychedelics. I figure it's socially defensible every once in awhile because I assume if its only occasional "normals" are more likely to be receptive to the idea that I use to explain my behavior: one has no reason to be embarrassed about losing it in reaction to something that so clearly benefits them, as not embracing such experiences would be self-undermining and arguably even destructive. I actually posted about that one time in the "Psychedelic Honesty Between Life Partners" thread, but here it is for convenience:
My girlfriend knows I use drugs. She doesn’t necessarily like it, but seems to understand that I do and is OK with it. I will occasionally say a pro-psychedelic sentence or two, but that’s usually the end of the conversation. Otherwise, when I’m planning a trip I say I’m going to be “in dispose” or “trying some new concoction” and we leave it at that.

A little over a month ago I was on 2.5 hits of strong blotter and ended up going to see her in the evening without telling her. Halfway through the night she tells me she’s excited about taking her kitten over to meet her friend’s kitten to have a “kitty play date,” and she says it with such a genuine enthusiasm and innocence that I just lose it. I start laughing hysterically and crying. This is my life. I’m comfortable, have few responsibilities, control over my drug use, yet I still have access to chemicals that regularly make me feel like I have the keys to heaven.

“Are you crying? You girl!” she says.

Between bursts of laughter I copped to the fact I had taken LSD, and that it was a huge relief to get that off my chest. I told her how beautiful I thought my life was and how happy I was to be here. I have no idea what I did to deserve a life so grand, and the reminders that I have it and the gratitude I feel are sometimes just too much in a way that is so good.

Last night I cried tears of pure joy on a shroom trip. I realized my life was perfect. So yeah, go for it, emotional catharsis man, best there is.
 
I don't feel like I've tripped hard or deep enough if I haven't cried during it. mushrooms always get me to face some issues during the come up and when I get over that hump the fun tripping begins! Oh I can't wait for spring!

I have to say, the only time I've ever seen my boyfriend really seriously CRY, like fully losing himself crying, was after tripping. We were sitting on the couch at home, chatting about life, the future, missed opportunities etc, and he started to cry and I held him while he sobbed in to my arms for about 15 minutes. It was absolutely beautiful, even though he was really embarrassed <3
