Hello all. I'm considering aking LSD, but I would like to know how peple think after taking LSD and why its different?

Is it the drug changing your "chemistry" or is the trip itself?

how will a bad trip affect my thought?
 
Never taken it, but I think it's probably going to give you a whole new perspective on a lot of different things.
 
Can you say with any certainty that you understand how people think *before* they've taken LSD? Everyone is different.

It's the experience that changes a person, rather than the drug itself. You might change, you might not. Either way, it will be the choice you make.

If the experience is a negative one, you'll learn from it. If it's a powerful negative experience (eg. a bad trip on more than three hits) then you could find yourself pretty shaken for up to a week or two, but you'll live.

I recommend reading the FAQs on Erowid - there's some good info on there.

My opinion is very vague and will almost happen to anyone that takes a good amount of LSD. You're saying that someones perspective won't? Tell me one person who hasn't learned anything(at all) from the use of LSD.
 
My father.

Seriously. I had a long talk with him about drugs recently (he used to promote a lot of rock n roll bands and set up concerts at colleges all around the country in the 70s and 80s.

I was talking with him about the things I have gained and learned from DMT and LSD particularly and asked him what some of the things he had learned from his days of taking LSD... and he responds "what do you mean?" and I asked him again.

His next response really saddened me....

He stated :

"I learned that A million tiny Frankensteins doing the hula hoop looks amazing"

My response :

<FacePalm>
 
My first trip on acid I took to tabs and had an amazing experience. I felt like I had really found myself or just felt much more comfortable with who I was. I felt really happy even after I had come down and felt completely renewed and a new appreciation for my life, friends, and family.

I feel like a small dosage (such as 1 tab) won't have any chance of changing you significantly in a positive or negative way. Once you get to higher dosages it might, but for me, its very minor. I find my self appreciating more simple things about life, that's about it.
 
Yes, LSD will change you.

Similar to the way that your favorite class in high school probably changed you.

You take LSD, and, simply put, you will know things that you did not know before. You will see undeniable truth, in the form of human experience, just as the sharp biting cold of winter air on your skin is undeniable. The knowledge that you gain will broaden your perspective on reality, and therefore change who you are, to some degree.


"Bad trips", triggered by either tripping in an irresponsible setting, or a genetic predisposition for mental illness, can however afflict direct psychological damage. A bad trip is not to be confused with simply an uncomfortable trip, which will not adversely affect you.
 
LSD can sometimes be a whole lot of fun and games.

Other times it's like a time-dilated therapy session with a shrink who knows you better than any professional that you could hire.

For me it was pretty much the former, however use of psychedelics overall have shaped my way of thinking about things. More a matter of perspective though, and if you asked me to pinpoint any detail of it I wouldn't be able to reply.

I have a friend in the ANG who told me that ever since he tripped with me and a few other friends on a washout that things have not been the same since. He too cannot elaborate. It just happens.
 
Things i learned about LSD after 33 trips....Minimum 3 hits each trip...i loved/still love the mofo

1- No matter how hard u try, u'll never be able to explain the meaning of tripping to some1 who's never done it before.
2- LSD is the most drug that makes you know your true inner self
3- You never forget the people you tripped with (not including big-assed parties or with a large group) mean typical 3-friends-getaway-trip-in-the-cabin-type- - never know where to exactly put them those - - - f-u-k-s
4- Each trip is very similar yet very different than the next one
5- After 1 trip you're just not the same
6- LSD is not for everybody, meaning that not everyone who did it will truly love it and benefit from it
7- LSD touches mysticism and spirituality in many spots! and makes one mind wonder in those areas even on an unsubconscious way, and yes it's written like this!
8- It makes you crazy, but to who? and what is crazy? our Controlled healthy craziness in my case
to each his own, but it always brings your internal mask and make you wear it on the outside
meaning, does something to your personality, making you some kind of "a trip survivor" attitude, you know like this shit is strong...you're insane for a good 14 hours, plus the next day you're still not normal after that weird night/morning sleep, mostly 5 h of sleep after the trip, and i still wake in a funny mood, happy, life loving, no hallucinations, able to talk properly and express yourself
9- LSD makes you put down a list in an internet forum, and you forget yourself in one of the points while you ramble about your past ex trips, but then LSD hits you on the head and puts your beautiful mind right back on track and you go on with your list
10-1 know someone who was institutionalized for 2 weeks from 1 trip (loony asylum) he simply lost it. I also know a bunch who were benzos or codeine addicts and after 1 bad trip, they stopped drugs completely and became totally different people. When we were 22, some1 like this for us was a looser and a quitter who couldn't handle an LSD trip...looking back now, maybe this was the best for him after all, he probably had a really meaningful experience to make him go cold turkey after years of drugs binging, and started to go to the gym and looking healthy, so not a looser after all, with my today's standards as a functioning pot smoker on low doses of Subutex. Anyways. To each his own
11- LSD makes you put down a list in an internet forum, and you forget yourself in one of the points while you ramble about your past ex trips and coucou life, but then LSD hits you on the head and puts your beautiful mind right back on track and you go on with your list
12- I miss LSD so freakin much, and i'm 33 now. Quit at 22 after 32 trips till 30 when i had my last trip in the desert with some liquid L on gummy bears, yummy gummy. My last will probably be soon with my now fiancee, future wifey, she did it before, but we never did it together, and we believe it's a mutual meaningful experience that will put joy, blessing, excitement and crazy laughter all in one (or more) yellow submarine candy. Had no clue what i was gonna write about when i stared with the first few words, waow..i wrote a lot! good weed, my 1st bowl from this new stuff, love it! hope u enjoy reading my list as much as i enjoy writing when i'm stoned.
Peace on Earth

I thought this thread will be moving faster and forward. What happened to the Op?
Tripping maybe? :)
 
Some poster on bluelight once wrote something about this that i thought was apt. to paraphrase:

your mind is like a ball of string which is ordered in a particular way, and taking LSD loosens up the ball and disorganizes it. when the lsd wears off, the ball of string tightens up and organizes again, but usually in a different pattern than it had to begin with. Sometimes the pattern is barely different, sometimes its very different.

Usually the change isn't drastic, and I would say most often it is for the better, but don't do it if you're not comfortable with the risk.

Awesome =D
 
OP, hopefully it'll help you spell better :p

This, pretty much. Though the 'undeniable truth' may not seem so undeniable the day after, and I don't think 'bad trips' are necessarily due to irresponsible set/setting...

Been&Done, have a good trip with your future wifey :) And never say last!
 
True!! Never say last since i love it so much, after those 1st 32 ones, i said i was really done, started the real working and stepped into the adult life, but then i fuckin' missed it, then got the chance while on the beach with some old friends, so tripped again and re-lived the psychedelic world, only that i was 31 at the time and my perspective on life was already different than my 20's. I loved it of course, and will do it again with future wife. After all, it's so "me" and i have always loved life, nature, animals, children, and old people so when LSD came along into my life, it was so suitable to my mind at the time. People thought i was going crazy, just because i was different yet very happy internally. I know many peeps who over did it, and sadly their minds did not tolerate this amount of alteration due to Lucy.
The CIA did a lot of tests with LSD back in the days, some survivors who made it, sued them in the 80's and took some settlements (20,000 $) if i remember well (need to google this info) some were given high doses like 100 hits/day!!!! over 1 month, others 1000 hits at once! crazy ass scary shit like that, just to test it and come out with results and explanations in those early LSD-25 days. Imagine 1000 hits in your mouth... Aye, that's even scary to think about. I know a guy who took 100 undiluted hits by mistake and has to live on meds all his life! and if he doesn't, he can open his drawer to find a bright yellow pelican inside!
So, maybe one more, I know how to control it very well that thinking about bad trips make me laugh, can go out on it, do stuff, meditate, read, deal with people and parents without looking suspicious or weird. LOVE IT AND MISS IT SO MUCH!
It's a gamble you take with your mind by the way, as i said before, i know some people who got coucoucrazy from 1 single lonely trip, so...think first and balance your choices. Be safe and have fun...Peace :)

Weird!! I thought this place is filled with LSD lovers and enthusiasts!
The psychedelics are way slower than the opiates threads...I just post something and go to sleep, just to wake up to find all replies and answers. Many times the topic is even changed!
 
This depends highly on the dose. I did LSD for the first time at a college, no problem. Visuals, minor thought difference...essentially it was no more than a 50 mic dose. 2nd time I did a real dose (300 mics). GIANT difference.

Yes I don't think anyone is really the same after a good dose of LSD, although I'm only human so I could be wrong.
