I feel less impaired tripping than I do drunk or stoned.

Anyone else get this? The last time I took LSD, I had a crazy trip that destroyed my ego and I felt like I lived three different lives over an hour or so. Yet shortly after I regained the ability to move, I managed to coherently order a sub and calm down my insane Korean roommate without anyone suspecting I was the least bit high.

Drunk, I couldn't do this. Stoned, I might be able to, but it's not very likely. But somehow, psychedelics don't seem too intoxicating.
 
The ability to remember and to "think straight" is little if at all reduced. (Listening to the recordings of my conversation under the influence of the drug, I cannot discover that I was then any stupider than I am at ordinary times.)

From my personal experience, I also agree. I have purchased food and clothing while tripping and had the exchange go swimmingly. I have spoken with the cops twice while tripping (people who were in the same apt/dorm were being arrested for marijuana possession) and the police were none the wiser.
 
I was arrested for indecent exposure while tripping on about 5g of cubensis. The cops never suspected. Even as my mind was being overwhelmed by thoughts concerning the illusory nature of constructed identity, prompted by being asked my SSN, there I was holding a polite and mundane conversation with the police.

That all being said, I've also been places tripping where I absolutely could not deal with the police or any other person without completely giving away that I was out of my fucking mind.

Truth. It's greatly dependant on your mindset - if you're having a good trip where everything flows smoothly, intervention with the cops would simply come as another thing that was meant to happen. I'd chat up the cops and probably learn something without them thinking anything was up.

However, once me and my friends split an ounce of mushrooms and a few mushroom caps. Needless to say we were FUCKED, and my one friend ended up calling the fire department to my house at 6 in the morning.

My mom had to get up (on Sunday no less), so she was choked, and having her and the firemen both screaming at me while my friends walked out got a little overwhelming, to the point where I couldn't really form sensible sentences. They knew I was totally gone.
 
^ ime it's often much harder to interact normally on shrooms than lsd. Unless the dose is heroic I usually have few issues on lsd.
 
I also feel more "sober" on acid than I do drunk or high. Except when I am peaking, in which case I'm not "drunk", my brain is just so preoccupied with all the visions and thoughts that i don't pay attention much to what's going on around me. I can walk for miles and not stumble or feel wobbly (usually I actually feel empowered, steady, and strong on acid when walking). Also, my night vision improves drastically. Acid is an ally to me.
 
Tripping enhances your senses and abilities rather than impairing them like most other drugs do. The only real problem is paranoia, sometimes when tripping you can get paranoid, which can cause you to walk, talk, or act a bit out of the ordinary - making people notice you are tripping. If you can avoid the paranoia, you can live your life normally while tripping. The only things I would avoid are dangerous things such as driving, operating heavy machinery, etc - because although some people have no trouble with them while tripping - why risk it?
 
I don't agree with you here bro. On a low dose yet but a good average dose of 5 - 6 tabs has me crying from laughter at any joke, memory of a goldfish and the inability to speak coherently.
 
I can hold conversation, and act perfectly normal when on low-medium dose psychs.
no way in hell can i do that when drunk. Maybe with a few drinks but not drunk.
Plus i drink a lot less than i used to so alcohol really affects me more and I just dont like how i feel on it compared to other drugs.
 
I think alcohol is the worst drug and the source for a lot of problems.
really how many times have you heard of people getting in a car crash, fight, argument, getting someone pregnant, ect on alcohol vs other.
plus IMO alcohol is the worst drug for sex vs all the others increase how sex feels.
thumbs down to drinking.
 
Certainly [psychedelics impair you less than alcohol... and some ways less than marijuana. The first times I tripped I wouldn't have wanted to have to get anything "real-world" done. But nowadays when I trip, since I have so much experience with it, I can pretty much do whatever I need to do. I often amaze people at my coherence and abilities if they find out I'm tripping. Some substances like DOC and LSD actually measurably increase my dexterity and mental quickness and problem solving abilities.
 
And then there are the times in which the simple idea of trying to form words is so amusingly abstract that you can only burst into laughter. (I find this happens a lot if I've ever had to talk to someone on the phone while tripping, giving directions to a friend arriving to late to a forest me and other friends were in was the most difficult)

I feel you dude. I hate drinking honestly. It has a lot of bad side effects, bad long term effects, i cant stand stomach nausea and its like the worst drug for that out of everything. (I recently tried shrooms for the first time hearing that can cause stomach nausea and the shrooms actually tasted good and no nausea at all). You cant drive on alcohol period, and even if you try there are breathalizers and you will be rolled upon being pulled over.

It is just pure empty calories, which i am a bodybuilder so its a no go on that, its like hmm drink 3 beers or have a cookie dough shake with ice cream, well its the same calories, one taste like shit one taste like heaven.

And the positive effects of alcohol are not even that great, slight euphoria and less introversion.

I could take a benzo for 80% same effect with 0% stomach nausea and no breathalizer and no calories, aka drunk in a pill

or if Im looking for slight euphoria and less introversion there is more fun things to use like any kind of stimulant whatsoever even adderall lol.

Sorry to rant just seemed like the perfect time to do it after I saw Godzillas post.
 
LSD makes me *feel* like I'm 100x more coordinated and lucid than when I'm sober (at least at moderate doses).

However, I prefer to test this perceived-coordination by engaging in challenging but benign activities like playing the guitar; I would never put it to the test by getting behind the wheel of a car or something potentially-dangerous like that.

not to mention:
its physically addicting
toxic in 10x a normal dose!
AND it is one of the main recreational drug that children learn is acceptable to use!
 
Yeah, alcohol is a bunch of bullshit. It's one of the very worst drugs for you with some of the nastiest effects but most people don't even consider it a drug thanks to "alcohol and drugs", as if they're separate.

Agree

I remember on my shroom trip I felt like I had the ultimate hand-eye co-ordination. I would throw a tennis ball against a wall as hard and fast as I could and always catch it. Things just really flowed. I "felt" where the ball was going to intercept my hand. I didn't even have to try :P Good time.

Never tried acid though. Hope to soon. Then DMT. I wonder how sober you can act on DMT :P
