Health Use Of LSD On The Underage Brain

[MasonP]

And not to mention most of us have lost friends due to overdose. Just take a look at the bluelight shrine sub forum. There are far, far too many threads in there.

Like I stated earlier I’ve tried my best to steer clear of those types of drugs which commonly cause overdoses. That’s one thing I’m not to worried about. My main worry is cognitive decline since I regard myself semi intelligent or atleast did 2 years ago. I kinda told myself I wasn’t going to do anything but LSD and maybe some of the other psychs for a while but now I’m rethinking even doing those.

 

[SunriseChampion]

Strictly speaking of cognitive decline, regular, safe use of LSD should not cause cognitive decline. I don't know if this holds true for someone of your age though.

 

[SunriseChampion]

...Me too! lmao xD

Alcohol honestly doesn’t have that affect on me. Sometimes I think alcohol is my perfect drug because I don’t have hangovers and when I drink I’m the happiest person ever. I would say this is just because I haven’t gotten to the dark side of drinking which I plan to avoid by not drinking commonly if ever at all.

hahaha....yeah, I never had hangovers when I first started drinking at 18. I almost didn't even know what a hangover was even ten years later.

Now? lolsies....wow, do I ever know what it is.

What almost killed me was alcohol withdrawal after a post-traumatic drinking binge. Sure, it was a hangover, level 9. Thought I was going to die.

Anyway, that was just the worst one. Alcohol always made my depression and anxiety worse when I still had those problems.

As I said, I've sorted it all out and now drink because I can without problems.

Yeah, avoiding alcohol as much as possible is the best call. Nice one.

My mom would freak but not to bad.

I started really early. first drugs at 11-12. By 13 smoking weed every day.

I used to get stoned and my mom would come into my room, look at my eyes and say "HAVE YOU BEEN BLOWIN' DOPE???"

it was so fucking funny to me I would burst out laughing every time and give myself away

she was OK with me smoking weed as long as I got my schoolwork done

but yeah... she is NOT cool with anything other than weed and sadly just a year later I was onto hard drugs

just felt like sharing. I still laugh at my mother always coming in and saying "HAVE YOU BEEN BLOWIN' DOPE???" priceless

I experienced hangovers at first but I started drinking heavy off the bat. My first time getting drunk was a month or two right before my 16th birthday and I blacked out on whiskey. I drank probably twice or three times a week until my birthday in June. On my birthday I purchased LSD, Xanax and MDMA then ended up getting caught on two of those substances by July. Originally the bars were for trip killers because I was very nervous about my first trip but I had taken all 10 in two days before I was even able to pickup my lsd.

Have you been blowin' dope?!

I laughed. Hard.

Cheers for that little anecdote!

LMAO. I first smoked weed in 5th grade didn’t inhale. Smoked again in 6th got buzzed maybe once. 7th grade clean. Then in 8th grade I began smoking when I could. But in 10th grade I discovered carts and I can’t even remember the last school year lol. I think my mom just finally came around the idea of smoking since it was better than other things. Just a side note I almost took LSD when I was 13 but I made a post on here and was convinced otherwise, the only other drug I had dealt with before this year was shitty anti depressants.

 

[MasonP]

I’d like to thank all of you for your replies. I’ve received a lot of insight, I’m still un sure how I would like to move forward but at the bare minimum I will do so with great caution. I think before I trip again i’d like to get some 5-HTP which is something that helps your body create seratonin in which I believe that I have a deficiency of. If I’m correct it will change my life.

I got busted for selling weed at school in 8th grade lol

You're better off eating healthy and exercising to create serotonin. 5-HTP is kinda overrated, but can help if you are truly deficient. It's not a miracle drug.

If you have a functional serotonin deficiency, supplementation with a precursor may not help as it may be a neural issue. I'm not an expert though.

 

[somnilicious]

Yeah I understand that. I had either a psychotic episode or an episode of delirium 5 months ago on mdma and since then Ive been way more careful with my use. So far with LSD I have experienced some form of HPPD but I’m not sure if that’s what you would call it because it is seeming to fade and it is actually only triggered when I look at this specific wall that has motivational words and such.

In my opinion MDMA is much more detrimental to a developing mind. I was one of the unlucky ones who suffered a LTC before anyone spoke about it. I had all the symptoms; depression, anxiety, severe sleep disturbance, cognitive problems, dizziness, extreme social anxiety and a rapid decline in self esteem. I was tormented day and night with intrusive thoughts of my friends and peers saying every imaginable nasty or negative thing about me until I believed it to be reality. This went on for over a year and the worst part was that none of my friends believed you could suffer such effects from MDMA. I was told it was all in my head.

It wasn't untill years later that people started talking about long term comedowns on Bluelight and I realized I wasn't alone. I wish I could adequately describe how horrible and alone I felt. I wound up developing a life long addiction to opiates as I struggled to cope with the symptoms.

Be careful my young friend.

Damn, I got caught selling cigarettes and whiskey that I would grab from my parents in 6th grade. I would do the trade offs on the bus because the camera was broken and I knew this for a fact. But on one un forgettable day the camera was repaired.

Yeah I don’t plan to consume MDMA for a long time.

 

[SunriseChampion]

Yes, I've also seen that MDMA can indeed cause cognitive decline.

I don't think you feeling bored during a LSD trip means you have a serotonin deficiency.

I also love gambling, but don't do it in degen amounts. Just for fun. Defo know when to stop. Set limits, stay within them, etc.

You can see though how complex the brain is. This is why it shouldn't be fucked with before it's done developing. Give it a chance.

 

[Snafu in the Void]

As for the seratonin thing I’m not sure. I have a friend who is a lot older and he believes greatly that I do. We were mid acid trip on 250ug and I found myself bored just kinda looking at the fractals wishing I took more. Not to mention the slight porn addiction I’m trying to shake. I don’t wanna say that I constantly feel depressed I just feel like something is missing. If I’m not constantly engaged than I usually find life very dull.
Another Side Note: I fucking love gambling not even to win money just for the dopamine rush which isn’t good because I’ve lost a lot of money that I would usually spend on drugs.... so maybe it’s a good thing?

Some advice: take what other people say about your body and it's chemistry with a grain of salt unless they are a qualified professional.

LSD can mildly stimulate dopamine but it is not intrinsically euphoric in itself.

Also serotonin depletion is often NOT the cause of depression and is overstated.

Everything you just said are signs of future addiction! Not really depleted serotonin (that doesn't make sense).

If anything, in my UNEDUCATED OPINION, you may have a dopamine defect, or more accurately your brain doesn't process pleasure correctly, which is a major cause of addiction. That's one of the new theories at least. Addiction and it's cause are HIGHLY debated even til today.

 

[Bella Figura]

Losing money is never a good thing...

I hope there's no one in your family with schizophrenia. Predisposition to schizophrenia is a big deal in terms of what MDMA/LSD/Weed can trigger at that age. I had someone in my class schiz out after doing those 3 drugs loads. He had to leave the course and be flown home to be taken care of by his parents and we never heard from him again.

I don't want to be the negative one in this thread, but it's just too risky for me to be like 'yeah cool, go for it'. So I shall leave because I've warned as much as I can.

Stay safe.

 

[MasonP]

No worries be as negative as you would like. I came here for advice not to judge those who can give it to me.



As for what you said @SnafuInTheVoid I’m not sure if it’s true or not I have just done some research after that specific person had brought it to my attention and a deficiency of some sort would make sense. It would explain my addictive personality and my lack of self control aswell as the way my train of thoughts seem to get. My plan was to try 5-HTP to see if I noticed even the smallest of difference. If I do notice something for the better, my plan would be to go to the doctor immediately and request for some scans to be done. If I don’t notice a difference I will hold off for a few years but more than likely request some sort of scan to see if this could be an explanation to parts of my life.

Good for you man, again, you sound like a really smart dude.

Let me say, though that believing whatever that guy said is pure speculation. Your brain can often trick you into thinking something is real or correct when it's not, especially at the suggestion of someone else.

You've probably heard the saying "don't believe everything you see". The REAL saying should be "don't believe everything you THINK". Your brain can and will misinterpret things and deceive you!

I will say, a doctor is not going to give you a cat scan for things like depression, addiction or serotonin deficiency. Doesn't really work like that. I mean... MAYBE if you insist, your parents insist and you're willing to spend thousands of dollars. They can't even detect things like chemical deficiencies in your brain from a cat scan. They're used to detect brain damage, tumors and things like that.

Your #1 goal right now should be eating healthy, exercising and practicing positive mental techniques to deal with addiction, anxiety, depression and the like. This is how you grow into a strong, healthy person.
