LSD saved my life

I've seen many types of psychedelics perform miracles for people. things that no legal rx drug could even come close to accomplishing.
 
same with me

I tripped on 4-aco-DET and it was my first trip and i am so happy now. I feel reborn. its good stuff. maybe we feel good because during the trip we scared the crap out of ourselves and now we are just happy to be alive. who know and who cares i just know im better off now then i was before. I cant see anything wrong with tripping. But more then that i feel i opened my mind. Its so funny when you tell people what drugs you do and you say " i stay away from the hard drugs i stick to pot and hullucigions and research chems" they look at me like i have 2 heads
 
I know MDMA is not a psychedelic but I belive it has helped me in dealing with my depression/anxiety alot.
I was on citalopram for 4 years, tried many times to get off it, finally succeeding about 5 months ago. After 3 months off it I realised how depressed and anxious I was and that I was once again barely coping with work and the other various pressures of life.
I decied to go back onto an SSRI even though I hated them but managed (only just) to hold out till an occasion where I planned to use MDMA for the first time without the canceling effect of SSRI's.
Needless to say, mindblowing experience, since then, although dealing with a black week afterwards it has given me a new perspective, just being able to look at things in a different light and develop the skills to cope with the comedown has made life alot better.
Fuck SSRI Zombie makers. I plan on doing my first trip in about 7 years in the next few months. Can't wait.
 
I once had a life changing and depression breaking experience from the sleep deprivation induced by staying awake for four days on Meth.
I found myself able to think in a non linear fashion and see past experiences in their whole form, from all different perspectives simultaneously and how each experience connected and complemented perfectly all my other experience.
I understood the whole, not just the seemingly separate pieces.
At the time I was very aware that it may have been nothing but frug babble but it made perfect sense to me.
I will be forever thankful to my best friend who was the only person patient enough at the time to sit and listen to me (for 12 hours whilst he was straight) so as I could validate my thoughts and test them to ensure they were not just bullshit.
It may be of interest to note that this "cure" came years after having acid induced mystical experiences, which I had through some harsh life experience doubted and felt could no longer trust in their validity.

Bump

To the OP and others, do you still feel LSD has helped you with your issues to the extent you orginally posted about?
 
i dont know whether to argue or agree. i have similiar experiences with pot but when i was doing LSD i did some pretty dumb shit that put my life in danger so maybe in the right circumstances, but maybe just not like lets go give everyone some LSD
 
i have never done LSD but have done other strong drugs and the reason why i do them is to get a better understanding of myself and the many things around me and by doing that i have really seen lots of things different so i really think they should use any strong drug for psychotherapy becues it can work. maby one day they will see that
 
^^ Agreed... giving everyone LSD, as an example of a strong psychedelic, would probably be disastrous. But training psychiatrists and the like to use them properly in psychotherapy would be a very beneficial venture, if you ask me. I think they could do a lot of good.
 
I've never really been depressed or manic or anxious. I've always been a pretty even-tempered and had a generally jovial disposition. So my psychedelic experiences have never really 'cured' me of anything. What they have done is really made me more comfortable being myself and have helped to me become a more confident person. Well, my experiences on LSD, mushrooms, DMT and mescaline have also made me look at my existance on a much larger time scale. It has made me feel like such a small blip on the grand timeline of Earth that I feel more open and able to pretty much lead a stress-free life (besides 16 credits of classes).
 
I think salvia and dxm saved my life. I was abusing huge (500mg+ daily) doses of diphenhydramine. While on DXM, I got the idea to smoke some salvia. Long story short, I was sent to see my own funeral through the eyes of someone else, and the clergyman talking about my tragic, young death due to stupid abuse of benadryl really stuck with me. No more of that shit after this experience
 
I'll play devil's advocate, there is a darker side to everything. Because of lack of education and the unreliability of street acid ( it being sold as another chemical or another chemical being sold as LSD), there have been a number of overdoses caused by LSD and one resulting in death. I bring it to you straight from erowid:

[A man injected] 320 mg of LSD injected intravenously under the mistaken idea it was speed (this killed the user and appears to be the only instance of death by LSD overdose), the reference is: Journal of the Kentucky Medical Association 75: 172-173 (I have been unable to obtain a hardcopy of this).

______

Hyperthermia is a known effect of lysergic acid diethyiamide (LSD). This is, to our knowledge, the first recorded instance of life-threatening hyperthermia (106.4 F [41.3 C] axillary) in man, following the use of LSD, and may have been dose-related. The hyperthermia was rapidly reversed by alcoholic-ice soaks, hallucinations ended about 18 hours later, and the patient recovered without obvious mental or physical injury.

_____

Eight patients were seen within 15 min of intranasal self-administration of large amounts of pure D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) tartrate powder. Emesis and collapse occurred along with sign of sympathetic overactivity, hyperthermia, coma, and respiratory arrest. Mild generalized bleeding occurred in several patients and evidence of platelet dysfunction was present in all. Serum and gastric concentrations of LSD tartrate ranged from 2.1 to 26 ng/ml and 1000 to 7000 mug/100 ml, respectively. With supportive care, all patients recovered. Massive LSD overdose in humans is life-threatening and produces striking and distinctive manifestations.

______

Those could have been easily prevented however, if LSD was legal and could be made in a pure form and the users were educated on the proper dose and consequences for using it.
 
That is great that LSD has saved your lives. I have personally watched two of my three best friends fry into total pieces of shit because of LSD. Obviously I cannot say for sure if they had previous mental issues, but my asesment was no they did not. I have seen so many violent outbursts and destructive behavior on acid that it boggles my mind how anyone could support its use. To each his own I guess, but please understand there is a dark side to that drug and alot of lives are shattered because of it.

Yes, agreed very much, it ties in closely to my post here: http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/showthread.php?t=284775&page=3

That is one thing that Bluelight needs to shape up on. They need to stop glamorizing drugs in general. To believe that a hit of acid will solve all your problems AND THEN GIVE PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING GENUINE PROBLEMS THIS SORT OF ADVICE, WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT KIND OF MINDSET THAT PERSON IS IN... is fucking BULLSHIT. I see it all the time here.

Yes, it is good to exchange INFORMATION about how certain drugs HAVE BEEN and CAN BE used as a tool. But to only constantly speak of its positive uses, while disregarding all of the bad, is actually the OPPOSITE of truthful information; it's misinformation. It becomes just as blind, biased, irresponsible, and opinionated as the DEA's drug war.

With that said, using drugs (or anything for that matter) as a healing tool will only work on users who have the willpower to change themselves. Without an open mind and heart, there is no room for truth to flow in. But in order to be truly open, you must first be liberated from egoistic opinion, selfish likes and dislikes.

Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes.

Finally, I know that many of you are intelligent people... but remember that there's always going to be something one-sided about self-learning. So, it is important for us to be accepting of opinions from all sorts of people. Go on, explore... Exchange ideas with different backgrounds, lifestyles, and ages. You will be amazed at what you can learn.

Peace out and take care.

Don't act a fool on LSD and do dumb shit...Use it as a mental tool...LSD has made me appreciate my surroundings more and about life in general. It has also brought meditation in me life.. :)
 
Psychedelics can definitely be used for so much more than just "like gettin really fucked up dude," but they have been demonized to the extent that this is overlooked by many people. :(
 
Psychedelics are a 2 sided sword, capable of doing much good in the right hands, but in the wrong hands, they are a recipe for disaster. Education is the KEY!!
