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

i definitely have talked to a university bike cop who thinks hes tough ("Captain Killjoy A.K.A. the Littlest Bike Cop" is what i call him, hes kicked me out of skate spots countless times) while on 2c-e for the first time. he came up asking us if we were smoking, i point out that my friend is currently smoking a cigarette and he snaps at me saying "did i ask you about that", circles around us for a while questioning us as to whether were holding, and whether we know were on camera anywhere on campus. none of us had anything on us and i was almost laughing at him because if he had checked the security cameras, he would find that we had not even jay walked. with 2c-e a lot of my friends have no clue im tripping, i just speak in slightly different and more cryptic manner (phrases like "if there were a list of things i enjoyed taking, 2c-e would be towards the top of it")

the hardest part of interacting while tripping is realizing that, no, rainbows are not pouring out of your ears and people do not notice how out of whack everything has become because, well, it hasnt really

Exactly... it's all about understanding and believing that no one knows you're tripping unless you alert them to it, and having the self-confidence to act accordingly. When I was 17 and I started doing stuff, and for a few years after as well, I would get all nervous and feel like everyone must know, and never meet peoples' gazes at all because I was afraid they'd think my eyes looked crazy or notice pupil dilation. But the result was that people DID think SOMETHING was up, because I was acting shady and secretive and nervous.

Nowadays I have long since realized this and now no one ever knows I'm tripping if I don't tell them and I don't worry about it at all. It helps to be an adult because people generally think teenagers are up to stuff anyway which makes it harder. But I just go around trying to radiate happiness and communicate with people, and people always react well, and I make sure to look them in the eyes and be earnest, because people respond to that in a powerful way. Steady meeting of the gaze has SO much to do with how a person perceives a social interaction. So what if your eyes are dilated? Peoples' eyes look like different sizes from moment to moment all the time. And if they're kind of bloodshot, or really bloodshot, well, people have allergies. Most of the time people won't even particularly notice or take note if you just act normally.

Like everything else in life, it's ALL about how you see it in your own head and feel it in your own emotions. Your belief in yourself dictates what others perceive in you. When you walk around feeling all self-conscious and sketchy, people will get that from you and feel that way about you. So you just need to change how you are seeing yourself, believe it, and then people will see that in you instead. :)
 
Ya unless you are doing the roboshuffle or some other odd coordination side effect lol...but with LSD its pretty easy to seem sober at normalish doses
 
The only time i experience any discomfort during a trip is the come up. During that time I'm likely to get confused and lose focus on things. From the peak on its like a normal day but with a twist. I find i can do most tasks just as well tripping as i can sober. I'm not as cloudy as when I'm stoned nor am i at all uncordinated like i am drunk.

Tripping is just a better form of me.
 
Depends on the dose and everything idk, sometimes I can be normal other times I don't know where my body is or can't hold on to my thoughts long enough to produce sentences.

Weed can mess me up decently as well depending on how high I am, but alcohol I can act normal until the point of being unable to stand on my own.

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.

You didn't take a huge dose.
 
It really depends on the substance. Also the dose.

For instance, I can drink a few beers and still drive a vehicle fine. Or I can drop a mediumish (150 to 200mcg) dose of lsd and be able to drive a vehicle fine (after the come up).

The difference is that with LSD, once I am too fucked up to drive I AM WELL AWARE OF IT.

With alcohol, Its like the more fucked up you are , the less fucked up you think you are.

But in moderation I think both drugs do effect you on a similar scale. Its just that most people dont drink in moderation. A moderate LSD dose is much more intense than a moderate alcohol dose but people very often take LOW doses of LSD when compared to how many doses of alcohol the average person takes.... if you get what im saying? In other words, I can probably drive better on 4 or 5 drinks than I can on 4 or 5 hits of LSD, but honestly, I am more likely to be consuming 4 or 5 drinks than I am to be consuming 4 or 5 hits of LSD and still want to drive.

Once I am too fucked up on acid its like impossible for me to even decide to go for a drive but If I did need to go somewhere I would know I should not be driving. (except for a few situations when I lived in orlando lol)
