LSD, curious why...

So about two weeks ago I did LSD for the first time, it probably wasnt very good because I only had visuals for like 3 hours but I was completely mind fucked for a good 12 hours.

So anyways my question is, why the fuck did it make me a cocky motherfucker. I've always had beautiful girlfriends and what not but I was never cocky about it.

While on the acid I was kind of looking down upon everyone at the club I was at... Now when I woke up I wasn't looking down on anyone anymore but my friends and I have noticed I'm a lot more cocky/confident now, maybe confident is the better word.

Also acid has made my posture how it should be.. I now walk with my head up high and dont slouch anymore, where as before the acid I slouched.

Maybe it could be all the ghb I've been doing the past 6 months, idk.
 
Well... maybe because LSD is a psychedelic substance? :)

Maybe it's because psychedelics tend to bring problems to the surface and distort/amplify them?
What follows is just guessing. You probably had problems with self-esteem, then you took LSD in good set/setting and your mind told yourself "Fuck it. I am a good person and I have enough self-esteem" - and LSD just intesified this attitude/feeling, so you become superconfident. It is not a bad thing at all, because it was temporarily. But when you came down, you consciously or subconsciously integrated your experience and dealed with lowered self-esteem.

Also, psychedelics made me more confident too, so you're definitely not alone. :)
 
Yeah some of my friends that did it for there first time the same day confidence was boosted aswell.
 
The confidence you're supposed to get psychedelics is different though - it's a humble confidence, not this cocky fake "I'm better than you" confidence. ^OP seems to be aware of the difference.

I think you didn't take enough. The 2nd time I did shrooms I took 1.8g. I felt like the fucking man. I felt like I could just stomp on all other people. What happens is that at a higher dose, "feel good" becomes "feel good while getting your ego crushed". So at higher doses it's a humbling experience rather than a "feel awesome" one. This just my exp though others may differ

LSD has always turned me into an egomaniac.

It's my favorite recreational drug, by far... but I feel all the sense of enlightenment from LSD is nothing more then drug induced megalomania, hyper-mania, delusions of grandeur and hyper-interconnected complexity all tagged with a VERY POTENT chemically induced sense of certainty to it all.

Now the people who are still new to LSD and entranced by its spell will take offense but the cake is a lie with LSD.

If you want to truly enlightening psychedelics go for mescaline! Shrooms can be good, also LSA is everything I wanted from LSD in terms of psychedelia you just have to take way more than is even recommended for a high dose, body load isn't fun but it puts your mind in a much more "true" place.

Within the muck of all that confusion with LSD though there are some true gems of insight that are hard to find on any other drug.

Its almost like I've had to filter out 90% nonsense and 10% brilliance as far as what I take out of an LSD trip.

Yeah LSD was a great experience. I won't be trying it again until I can get ahold of some damn near pure shit.

I've done shrooms many times and this "ego" boost never occurred.

Mescaline is very hard to find here in Dallas.

Visuals don't really mean anything, the mind fuckery is the main (and most interesting) part of LSD, IME. So I wouldn't say it wasn't good acid.

As for the ego boost, maybe it's a defensive response to your ego being softened. Just guessing really...

Edit: Don't mescaline containing cactii grow wild in Texas? Peyote, at least, apparently does: http://www.xs4all.nl/~4david/cacti.html
Ok, it might be quite a drive to go find some, the place is huuuge!
