On Friday, I was taking a leak only to casually (and pleasantly) find that my problem has pretty much resolved itself of its own volition, or is, at the very least, in the final stages of making a full recovery. To celebrate, in the heat of the moment, I immediately consumed the remaining three tabs (I bought five before the last trip).

I listened to Clapton's "Hello Old Friend" (because the lyrics fit so well!) and Frampton's "Do You Feel Like I Do?" (because I always listen to that song when I have something to be happy about) off my laptop. It was around 11:15 AM, and because I generally don’t eat lunch and my stomach was empty, I began to feel it quicker than usual… quicker than every other trip I’ve ever had, anyway. I was feeling it at a desk in one of the study areas littered across my campus. It was like an insect. That’s the best way I can relate to having felt it. But nothing ugly, monstrous, or otherwise intimidating; it was majestic and exotic, the kind that you just can’t help but look at and admire for its dazzling, colorful beauty and grace. A being that, no matter what happened to one, or what might happen to one in the chaotic tides of the future, causes that same one simply to pause and bow with grudging respect at the feet of the Creator whom deigned it. It did little tricks, this butterfly. It put on a show, just for me, because we both knew that I was the only one who would ever truly be able to appreciate it. The colors on its wings seemed to have lives all their own. Cautiously, they danced away from the main body of the creature, and then lingered in the air, like I was being given a choice and a memory at the same time.

When it was done, the creature came right up to me, and got close enough, and deep enough, that it melded with my heart, and I couldn’t see it anymore. All the same, it left something behind. The celestial cocoon that had been laid within me hatched almost immediately, and the only perception of time I had was because I kept looking at a digital clock on the corner of my computer screen.

I had to keep looking at that, because in spite of all the lushness, the safety, and the understanding, I still had a bus to catch. Thankfully, I was able to do that without much trouble, and all the shaking and general weirdness that I was showing off along the way was passed off and dismissed because of what I am (already covered). There are two main aspects of the trip that followed, the first being good, and the second, not so much. The first was the literal trip home; without going into too much unnecessary detail, I was right by a window, and the regular grind that usually defines the common existence of society became my own personal revelation. Traffic was not traffic. Traffic did not go east or west. Not even up or down. There wasn’t such a thing as congestion anymore. It was all just lights. Thousands of lights, against the white of the snow, illuminating like I had just died at some candlelight vigil was being held in my honor. At the same time, it was stronger than individual little sparks. Just like the euphoria, the light came in waves, grew into something more consistent, and then ended in waves. Exactly like life itself. Above me, and below me, there were beams of light, and the warmth of all of them shot straight into my soul.

I was riding on a beam of light, and for the next hour, I didn’t need a body to do it. The bad part?

Two hours after I left my campus, things went really, really fucked up over there.

www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/301809

It’s not Monday yet, so nobody can really tell for sure what happened, but since I lot of people I know didn’t know I was home, I was swamped with calls from folks who thought I was caught in a school with some shotgun-wielding maniac. I appreciate where they were coming from, but it still wasn’t a fun experience to have to keep myself together like that so constantly. Then, I couldn’t stop thinking about when it started, and how if I was there for just two hours more, I would've been tripping while actually under the sober impression that a guy with a fucking shotgun is going to fucking kill me. I can’t imagine that would’ve ended well if I was actually there. Even though I wasn’t there, and even though it turned out to be nothing anyway, it didn’t do wonders for my state of mind at the time, to say the least.

Every time I trip, it seems, something happens to try and unhinge me. To make me regret the whole thing. Maybe it makes me stupid, or maybe it makes me a coward, but I just can’t allow myself to do that. I’ve spent my life being weak and ineffectual. LSD doesn’t change anything, but what it does do is help me remember that nothing needs to change. It makes my problems feel small, because it makes me feel small. Like a drop in the ocean. But every drop had to come from somewhere, didn’t it? We all came from the same sky, and when we evaporate, we’ll all vanish into the same air. It makes me feel inconsequential, but in the best way possible. Every little bit helps, so it doesn’t matter if I end up accomplishing a little or a lot, as long as I do my best to not be a drain. There’s no point in stressing over small things, because the harmony of the bigger picture is too compelling not to demand one’s full attention.

No surprises this time, either, so that was an added bonus.

Frankly, I thought your shrunken-dick story more believable than this junk.

Which ain't sayin' much... :p
 
I can't help but be a little confused as to what you think I'm trying to pull. I'm sorry that it wasn't good enough for you, and that's all I think I can say. Again, I can't really imagine the kind of person that would choose to fabricate these kinds of experiences, and even if I was some kind of attention whore, and what I just typed was "more believable"...

What would be the point? What good would it do? Trying to impress people you can't see, and are never going to meet in your life, is the absolute silliest, most retarded thing that anyone could possibly do. If I was that insecure, I'd at least want to focus my attention on people I could see and interact with.

In any event, I don't want to get into any kind of bitchfight over the Internet. This place helped me out when I needed it, so I guess I'll just say thanks and take my bow (whether I have to do it with applause or hisses).
 
^ Interesting trip report man and tobala, I dont understand why he would be bullshitting and chill with the accusations.

Anyways, I like the part about you realizing that you are part of it all. We may be a glitch in evolutionary time and just a perspective out of the infinite, but still We are Part of it, and that is something beautiful in itself. Good luck with your endeavors man and learn from the difficult parts.
 
I definitely have a tendency to be a bit of a pretentious cunt whenever I write anything, so it's not an entirely unwarrented accusation. Whatever happens, happens.

And the compliment does mean a lot coming from you, BTW. "Infinity of the moment" is like a fucking benchmark of trip reports, man.
 
I have my reasons, Freedom, you don't see me as ever before having gone on a rampage over TR believability, have you?

The problem I have is that people read trip reports to acquire knowledge, and often base decisions about using psychedelics based on that knowledge. If people fabricate trip reports, then someone might engage in certain behavior based on fabrications.

I will reiterate why I believe this trip report--and the other one he has posted on BL--is a fabrication:

1. About 12 to 18 months ago I read a trip report on HipForums that was almost identical and verbatim to a trip report posted by this individual a few days ago on BL. Both refer to a "shrunken-dick syndrome" caused by the ingestion of LSD. Such a syndrome has never before been reported in the professional published literature and these seem to be the only two cases ever presented to the underground drug culture community.

2. Each of these trip reports was put up by an individual with an extremely low post count.

3. The second trip report (this one) posted by this individual contains a story about being in a building with a sniper/terrorist/dangerous person.

Don't you find it unusual that every time this person supposedly takes acid, an extremely unlikely event occurs? Furthermore, don't you also find it unusual that this person has not attempted to integrate himself into the BL community by posting to other forums and engaging socially in the many threads BL has to offer?

My conclusion, which remains only my opinion, and which I choose to freely post here, is that this person is a bullshitter who gets a kick out of posting bullshit and seeing the serious responses. There are people in the world with mild degrees of personality disorders that engage in this type of relatively harmless behavior.

However, as BL is a harm-reduction venue, don't you think it might be harmful if even a small cross-section of the community acquires a fear of LSD because it might shrink their ding-dings? :\

So I state my case. Mr. Lamelegs can act all hurt and ask with puppy-dog eyes why oh why would somebody question his integrity. I can't prove that his trip reports are lies. But the burden isn't on me to do so. I'm just pointing out the reasons why I think people should not take this person's trip reports as records of actual events.

And don't get me wrong, Mr. Lamelegs, as fiction this stuff isn't entirely uninteresting, so it's not a question of whether it's aesthetically good or not. But the idea of you thinking you're getting away with something is the thing I'm a bit less receptive to. :|

People are free to disagree with me.
 
^ I understand where you are coming from and can comprehend your perspective. I misinterpreted what you said before.
 
That's a perfectly valid assessment, indeed. I never suggested that anybody doesn't have any right to an opinion, I just feel that I should also have the right to defend my own life, as it is. Obviously, the two items I've posted thus far are bound to make me seem like a little bitch. I'm not debating that, but I don't care too much about it, because it was something that was weighing on my mind heavily at the time, and something I had to find a solution to, regardless of self-image. Life itself is a sob story, isn't it? That's why we all cry when we break from the womb. It's our responsibility as human beings to give ourselves, and all the people we care about, happy endings (not the sexy kind ;) ). Everybody who posts here has to know this on some level already, or else, quite frankly, they wouldn't be posting here.

Either way, if it'll put your mind at ease, I could give you a link to my Facebook profile, to prove that I AM a student at Sheridan, shit DID go down, and I WAS high that day. Not much I can do beyond that.

Also, I guess, if all I would be doing is causing a ruckus, it's perfectly reasonable to ask me to not post, if that would suit you. Any element that takes offense of the details of my life, realistically, has been a part of this site for longer than I have, and there are obviously people who care about this place a lot. That's something any community should be thankful for. It would be unfair of me to fuck that up, even if that wasn't my intention.

Keep on keepin on, gents.
 
Ehh, some LSD can tense up the muscles and I'll admit I believe my dick has shrunk under the influence of LSD before.

So there :P

At least LSD doesn't cause any problems getting it up !
 
Yeah, I probably just should've assumed that these things happen, but fear makes us do stupid things.

Hmm.

well, a reaction to the dopaminergic push of LSD may be genitals shrinking but this should disappear after the drug has worn off. I was actually kind of shocked the first few times I took amphetamine or something similar to see my wee become turtle-ized. Very troubling if you do not know its normal.

After any drug my nuts shrink a bit, become really hard and loos sensitivitys. this could last 3-4 days some times. There have been a couple of instances where my nuts started to soften up just in time for the next sesh (ie 5-7 days)

I have had quite a few problems over the years with my plumming and tbh most if not all of it was in my head (confidence issues etc...)

The only worrie I have now about my nuts is if they will have any life in them by the time I'm 28 when the misses wants kids (fingures crossed)

I know little (non) about Cerebral Palsy, whats your blood circulation like? I'm just wondering if your body thought it needed more blood to the vital organs instead?

Curse me, I say, and my elaborate tapestry of unprecedented lies!

While I don't mean to beat a dead horse with the disabled thing, I do feel it's worth mentioning on these grounds. If there's anybody else that believes my sharing less than pleasurable aspects of my private life would affect the ability of this site and the community to inform and to promote responsibility, and that, therein, I represent a danger to the goals of this community, any reader should simply take note of the fact that I am retarded, and thus, things are going to affect me differently than they might a normal person. A normal person is naturally going to be better off in doing anything. I'm a cripple, but I'm not a liar.

It's not a question of pathological satisfaction, and it's not a matter of "puppy dog eyes". It is, quite simply, what it is.

Have a nice day.
 
Lamelegs, I would highly suggest against giving out anymore personal information, especially your university and name.
 
Sound advice. I apologize if I came off as being a little flippant. In actuality, I agree very much with the opinion expressed concerning this episode. I don't want to affect the capacity of this place to help people, and I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not trying to stir any pots, and that my reality (offering substance of that reality in what little ways would be prudent) is just as technically irrelevant whether it's comprised of truth or lies. If I decide to make another TR (and based on all this, I think it's safe to say that's a pretty slim if), I'll continue to try and bring that aspect to the forefront, for the same reason.

I'm still not gonna change anyone's mind, I'm sure, and I'm still not naming names. Nor do I mean to imply through anything I type that I'm depressed or a victim in any way. In contrast, I believe myself to be one of the most extraordinarily fortunate individuals I'm aware of, all things considered.

It's just that to talk like that over and over again would make me seem like a bit of a pompous dick, I think. I thought that making a follow-up thing like this would make me seem like less of a troll, and would also help me to thank this place for lending an ear (or an eye?) when I needed it, but in hindsight, the result turned out to be humorously ironic. Fucking hindsight...

If I didn't feel like I had to come to terms with my original problem, I never would've mentioned a thing about my personal life. I probably wouldn't have even gathered the motivation to register. I am an ignorant person, I'm not hesitant to conclude. Quick to jump to conclusions, as most ignorant people are. I'm not looking for sympathy, in all honesty. I get enough of that. I don't know what I'm looking for, and that's the only reason I'm here.

One thing I'm not looking for, though, is trouble.
 
Lamelegs, there's no trouble. Continue with your business, and continue to post trip reports! You're obviously a very talented writer, and you haven't stirred up any trouble besides a slight bump.
 
I agree. Lamelegs, my sincere opinion is that you are a talented writer.

I'm just a little suspicious about the veracity of your two trip reports.

But I've aired my views and now it's time to back off and look forward to more writings from you. If they're represented as TR's I hope and expect they'll be truthful and add to the body of psychedelic knowledge.

If they're fiction, I hope they'll be represented as such and I will still definitely look forward to reading them!

And if I've come across as a pompous ass, it's because I've got fairly strong opinions about a few select things. Hope I haven't put you off too much, but try to understand where I was coming from.

Please continue to contribute trip reports. It is always nice to hear/read another perspective of the One. I enjoyed reading yours. peace and love.

All's fair in love and war, brother.

It's not even that I really cared you thought I'm a liar, but the prospect of being judged based on what somebody else did. If you just said that the things I put down were unbelievable in and of themselves, I would've been able to shrug it off, but that's seemingly not what was indicated. Truly and honestly, the only connection I have to the HipForums was when I registered a few days ago to try and find the person you said was so similar to me. I don't doubt that he was, but I bet he wasn't able to provide proof of his gunman scenario, and I already did (even if that guy's gun was actually a tripod...).

I know only fags get peeved at insults on the Internet, but I like my insults to be about the stupid things that I do is all.

I don't know what you think of me, but I'd like to say, since you shared your personal life as well, that I do respect you, and the things you're trying to overcome.
 
^^^^ Dude, if I've been wrong about this, you have my sincere apologies.

So maybe I'll just go out the door, come back in, and say "Welcome to Bluelight." :)
 
S'all good, buddy. I'm sorry for being a touchy prick when I should've let this thing die after the first post I made. All things must pass.
 
And I should have canned the pompous ass routine from the start.
