LSD - First Time - Trippin at Disneyland

Disney World is ace. I love Splash Mountain. There is also a sweet haunted house in which they use holograms. I was only 13 when I went, so I was not tripping. I will make an effort to next time.

I would guess two things... you've never done acid or been around people who do it and you've never been to Disneyland.

You are wrong on all three counts my friend. I grew up in L.A., and have been going to Disneyland since I was a kid. I lived in Berkeley and have done acid the likes of which most people even on this forum haven't seen. And therefore naturally I've been around many people who were tripping.

But I also know what it's like to be tripping balls. I've been in states of mind on acid where I couldn't see anything around me that was real. Lying on the ground tripping balls.

I just took my little girl to Disneyland for the first time. The thought of people who haven't thought things through, or who are not experienced trippers, or who don't know what it is they're really eating, doing this at Disneyland makes me nervous. As a parent I don't like it, and I'm sure most parents who are also experienced with drugs would agree with me. My statement that they had better know what they are doing or else they should suffer the consequences was made with a lot of experience under my belt. But you have an absolute right to disagree with me.
 
wow, sounds like a good idea. I'm going to Disneyworld this summer, but it will be with my family and I will be flying there, so it looks like I won't be able to copy you :\

This statement WAS made in the spirit of harm reduction! You just have to look at it from the intended perspective.

Disneyland is filled with kids. Even though adults can and do enjoy it, it's a kid's place (any adult who's enjoying it is accessing the kid in himself/herself). Kids don't need to be exposed to traumatic adult experiences while at Disneyland.

There are bad trips and there are bad trips. If someone's having a bad trip and they're just sitting on a bench looking at the ground, I don't think that's appropriate for Disneyland, but it would largely go unnoticed and I don't think that bad tripper should suffer any additional punishment. Same with walking onesself to the infirmary.

But if an adult is shaking, crying, trying to run blindly around and has to be restrained, etc. - then that adult is a fuckhead for doing such a thing at Disneyland. There should be such a deterrent to this that it does not happen. Only someone who can handle it has any business tripping there. Granted, most bad trips don't involve that kind of behavior. But it does happen. Perhaps I should have said "freakout" rather than bad trip.

Here's a similar statement: Anyone who goes to Disneyland and steals the wallet off a parent who's saved up all year to take her family there, thus rendering her without any money for food, gifts, or gas money home, should be thrown in a badass county jail. Kinda harsh, ha ha? Not really. ;)

A visible bad trip would be no different - it would be stealing the innocence of children at a very special place for them. I posted my comment so that people would take extra care and not think only of themselves and the good time they hope to have when they pop that tab in their mouth in the Disneyland parking lot. They have a responsibility to the kids there.

Would I say the same thing about tripping in a public park? No. If an adult is acting crazy at the park, kids will just have to deal with it. It's a part of life. Just not at a place like Disneyland.

Finally, I believe that psychedelic drugs should be legal. In the interests of achieving and maintaining such legality, users have a responsibility to trip responsibly. Tripping at Disneyland is unusually risky because of the number of children, and the mindset of both the children and adults who are there, thus we have to be very careful when tripping there.

I'm glad you brought it up because it gave me an opportunity to explain my post. Evidently it did not come across the way I intended. Do you agree with it now?

But what if a kid was on LSD and had a freakout (i'm talking teens 14 through til 19/20). Would they then deserve to go to jail?
