Why do you take LSD?

There's several reasons why I occasionally take LSD. I love the visuals- enhanced colors, patterns, and tracers. I love the deep thoughts it gives me. My thinking on a couple trips has helped me to understand that everyone is equal. People all are born on the same blank slate with the potential to do good things with their life, sometimes we just get caught up in bad things and end up on the wrong path. Most of all though... I love the afterglow LSD gives me, it relieves the anxiety and depression I often experience, making me feel completely at peace with myself and the world.

its too bad everyone doesnt do acid...although it wouldnt have the same effect on the mind as yours did but im on the same page as you..people just need to open there eyes
 
The first time I took LSD, it was out of curiosity. Since then, I would have to say that each time has been different. Ultimately, however, I find that my LSD use (and my psychedelic use in general) has a pretty strong analogy in my life as a musician; You have your guitar, your amplifier, any effects pedals and all that. Lets call that your 'musical circuit'. Yes, I could spend my entire musical career playing on just the clean channel, exploring the various nuances in just the tone of my guitar through the amplifier, altering settings here and there, playing a little harder or a little softer... whatever I need to do to create an effect. But that leaves a whole region of the circuit unchanged, a whole series of options I can use for expression or for certain themes and settings out of my hands while I explore what is already there. To not use LSD or any other psychedelics is analogous to never playing with effects pedals or unusual settings on my amplifier; the more configurations of my 'consciousness circuit', the more ability I have to express and grow as a conscious individual.

Ultimately, it is another setting or configuration for me to select from that is useful for some circumstances and not others, and it has greatly benefited my life. Psychedelics removed barriers I had built for myself, turning my mind inward and making forcing me to examine notions that I had taken for granted since I was a kid. The first example would be "Drugs are bad" :P
 
I was afraid to take LSD until just a few years ago because it was made out to be a drug that would "change your life forever". Or at least thats what I heard. Books were wrote about it and I saw some documentary about its use in the military for brain washing. All pretty scary stuff, for a drug you just have to touch to get high.

Finally I tried it and fell in love. LSD brought me to a lovely place on earth (i.e. I liked the high) and didn't give me a comedown.

Now to get to a lovely place all I have to do is eat some LSD :p

I like the clam shell reflective purple haze color that often comes to me when trippin.

Still after taking lots of LSD I don't have HPPD or whatever - thats why I take LSD
 
Its a bonding experience. <3 Just like cannabis pulls people together :) I enjoy what it brings into my life for the most part. I roughly drop a few times a year.
 
Because it changed completely everything about how I view myself and the world when I was 18, and even now 12 years later I still like to go back from time to time, stick my head in and say 'hi!'.

I've never really understood people who treat LSD like any other recreational drug. The 'big gun' psychedelics can all be extremely pleasurable, but I've yet to meet anyone who's experienced a full on ++++ from LSD (or anything else) and call it 'fun'. A hit or two, sure, but at this point in my life I don't really see acid as very worthwhile until I get to the .5mg+ mark.

I take LSD perhaps once or twice a year now. When I was 16-18 I did it about 35 times.

the 60s kids thought the same thing, but I just don't think it works that way. Acid Dreams has a great chapter on the CIAs use of LSD, and it sounds like when CIA agents tripped the just came out of it even more conservative, cloak-and-dagger bullshit. Past a point, I think extensive use of LSD runs a risk of just making you a more intense version of the person you already are.
