Feeling like a child on LSD

That is absolutely fascinating. Last time I did it I literally felt I was looking through 4 year old eyes. It was astounding.
 
LSD, not so much. It puts me into a more "scientific" mindset. I get the giddiness of a child, but not the playfulness.

Shrooms on the other hand. All I want to do is play when I'm on shrooms. They give me the very childlike "oooooh that looks fun" mentality.

Usually go back to my room and start drawing, writing, or doing something playfully amusing.
 
i get this feeling a lot, and not with just one psychedelic. in fact, there are very few substances that seem to want to make me think or act analitically and not child-like.
thats part of the reason i love them.

so far, mushrooms have had the most consistent and powerful effect, followed closely by medium dose lsd.
 
Yes. My friends and I often describe our trips (and not only LSD) as feeling simultaneously like babies experiencing the world for the first time, and like old people, reflecting back on life with amusement and satisfaction.
 
^ EXACTLY. Ha nailed it and yea not jsut with LSD.

I think that is the best way to describe psycheelics to someone "babies experiencing the world for the first time." You can literally just sit around and do nothing while being entertained and jsut observing shit.
 
Definitely. My best friend had this while sober as well recently. As is said: seeing things as though you see them for the very first time. I think that means you are so captivated that your preconceived image and notions of it are neglected.

My friend has pretty weird other phenomena as well, almost like types of synaesthesia I've never heard of and other types of what appears to come from abnormal brain (cross)chatter. It is said one hemisphere is typically dominant. Apparently he has a history of peculiar neurological activity (and also pathology), now and then he describes things that sound pretty crazy to me. He also became ambidextrous quite fast / suddenly and it seemed like somehow this balance confused him and caused imbalance in other ways. I can follow that logic: imbalance of dominance and function at least could be more regulated and stable.

Oops, sorry for going off topic there.
 
Yes. So much so, I've even theorized perhaps children at that age before memory starts to cohesively form. experience the world differently and in a more uninhibited way similar to the psychedelic mind state, because their brains are yet to fully form. Just musings of course.
 
That makes a lot of sense to me though, because think of how a child can just play for hours and hours with toys or whatever, just using their imagination to fully entertain them. This is how I feel when on LSD. It can also play out in a more negative light, because kids can be genuinely terrified of "monsters in the closet" or things lurking under the bed- things that seem to be very similar to thoughts on a scary LSD trip. Its cool because we have so much more knowledge of the world now than when we were kids and we get to have that same huge imagination but its so much more rich and full because of our more vast knowledge than when we were kids.
 
I envy you guys. Half the reason I started using psychedelics was to re-experience a childhood state of mind. But like Aetherius, LSD just hones my creativity and intellect. Mushrooms are a bit more playful for sure though, partly because everything feels so god damn AWESOME.
 
I guess I should note that I smoked a bit of weed right before the main child-like feelings when on LSD. I think in retrospect that this probably played a large factor because before I smoked I did indeed feel much more "enhanced" rather than childish. Shrooms definitely give me a more giddy and somewhat confused feeling than LSD, however while on the LSD alone I definitely got the same feeling of not bEing able to complete a simple task because everything around me was so captivating and enamouring.
 
the first time i ever took lsd when i was in my mid 20's It hit me real fast and real hard, as i was trying to make sense of what state of consciousness I had suddenly catapulted myself into and was grasping for metaphors I had the sense that although this was a completely new experience that i could not have ever imagined it was in some weird way strangly familiar, what was going on ? how could such a powerful thing have that familiarity to it ?

I realized that what I was seeing was me, I described it to myself at the time as "the real me" a me I had forgotten about a long long time ago, a me that existed as a young child before all the social conditioning and restrictions had been laid on top me and squashed the wonder of life right out of me, A me that hadn't yet had the words no and impossible hammered into my skull by culture, It was the me that thought all things were possible, that found every new experience absolutely enthralling, fascinating, amazing, the child consciousness that had died sometime after the age of about 3 to 5 years old.

Suddenly, here it was again, it had been right there hiding under layers of guilt and suffering for decades.

It only really happened on that first trip, it was the largest and most profound moment of clarity understanding and seeing that I have ever had in my adult life, it re wrote all the rules, it allowed me to give myself permission to hope, to understand many many things that had been done to me by my parents, to draw contrasts between the way adults had treated me as a child and the way i now had come to see the world as an adult myself, the child was rediscovered, and since that moment I have refused to grow up again, in a lot of ways it gave me back my childhood and I have been living with a sense of wonder at the universe ever since, phew - 20+ years experience from one 5 dollar trip, that's value for money right there lol, I don't think I ever really came down from that first microdot.

LSD does not do that to me any more and in the last few years I rarely take it anymore, but it was the biggie, a sacred sacrement that paved the way for a happier and brighter life, it has stayed with me all these years and I intend to value and nurture my real inner child until I'm 80 and beyond.
