LSD. PHer experiences

[0a]

I have always been scared and put off by the idea of LSD from stories I have heard (I don't really do any drugs) but listened to a podcast about 'micro dosing' and it sounded more interesting.

Any experiences here?

[br d]

I did it about 5 times as a young man, it went like this:

Amazing
Amazing
Amazing
Amazing
Horrific

Never, ever again.

I've not done LSD but if you've not done much else I can't imagine it's a good introduction to recreational drugs from what I've heard.

I cant remember too much other than the walls were expanding and contracting like the room was breathing.
And stifled wheelspin and heavier low speed steering.

I'm approaching middle aged now and wouldn't know where to get lsd if i wanted to, if its even still available in small UK provincial towns, mushrooms however are easily obtained and probably better and certainly more controllable. Acid (from my memory and i maybe did it half a dozen times) is great for some not great for others.

Dmt is the only thing I'd consider at this point in my life.

I did it a few times about 25 years ago, micro dots if I recall, didn't go to well but glad I tried it.

Wouldnt do anything now though.

Friends brother chocked on a pork pie whilst tripping, totally screwd him up. Been on medication and hasnt worked in over 20 year's!

Did a number of mushroom trips over the years as well. Mostly average.
Just grew out of the phase.

You should probably do mushrooms / truffles first

Although the Salisbury 4HU was a heavy unit and a bit slower on straight line acceleration, I found I could get power down more effectively than the open TR6 unit fitted as standard.

It meant altering the half shaft flanges and shortening the prop shaft but well worth it.

Had some great times in my late teens.

Me and a group of mates used to go camping and take acid tabs. Nothing but great, weird times

For me the strangest thing was streetlights - Whenever I got close to one or under its light then I used to feel really hot - when I walked away from them then I felt really cold. Happened on every 'trip'.

[poing]

I was part of that music scene so I did it more than was sensible. Loved it each time but it was frequently different and sometimes slightly scary.

I think it depends where, when and who with if it's a good or bad experience. I know a few friends that had really bad times with it.

Would I do it again? Not a chance.

1st time I did it many moons ago me and 3 mates decided to swallow tabs before jumping in the car to go up to Leeds clubbing from Leicester. Unfortunately thick fog descended after we hit the M1 and we crawled there at snails pace. My mate driving, and how he got us there in 1 piece I have no idea, hardly spoke for most of the journey and apparently "just followed the red lights in front of him".

The rest of us spent the journey contemplating our trousers, staring in childlike wonder at bridges appearing from the mist, and giggling like schoolgirls. I do remember the other 2 deciding to swap seats and my mate getting stuck upside down with his head in the front footwell

I only did it twice after and the last one was a horrid experience so never again.

[kuro]

Did this a few times in my youth. Mostly okay but a couple of unerving moments.

Leaving a mates house to get a cab home I looked back to his house and then to the waiting car to see them disappear into the distance, it felt like I was in the middle of nowhere.

Another time a mate was sitting on an adjacent sofa had turned into a devil or something.

Someone spiked my drink with a tab once. I was supposed to be meeting a girlfriend but called to say I couldn't make it and she got the hump. I stupidly got on my motorbike and went round her house and we ended up going up to central London, on the bike! I don't know how we survived that tbh.

I know a guy nearby who seems to be able to get it regularly although I've not had any since 2010.

Similar experience to me. I was 18 (just) and hadn't done anything at all. I was a prefect at school and had overheard a conversation about person a owing person b a lot of cash. I commented on it but was too naive to know why...

A couple of days later I was persuaded to indulge in several illicit substances, in hindsight this was to make me complicit rather than through any friendship.

Anyhoo. It was awesome. We 'dropped some tabs' and ended up climbing on the roof of our six form bed block. It was a square of single bedrooms opening onto a courtyard/green.

I vividly remember sat on the roof of the block and the whole building was basically doing a Mexican wave. It was trippy as fk! Never done it since but as a one off, awesome.

I tried it once, proper 60s style microdot, just half, it was marvellous,

I read this first

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Storming-Heaven-LSD-Ameri...

Taking half enabled me to keep one foot in reality, we went for a walk, the paranoia is real but the alteration to reality is very compelling, I wouldnt be keen to take loads and completely give myself over to it, could be scary.

I'm one of the unlucky ones that had a bad trip on the first go.

The come up was absolutely sublime and like nothing I've ever experienced, despite me having gone around the block a couple of times in terms of this sort of thing.

However the setting I was in wasn't ideal, and so I began worrying about small things. Those small things then became big things, and before I knew it my brain had shorted to earth and I started seeing and thinking the most utterly horrific st that my conscious brain can barely comprehend. Then things went down hill, very quickly .

No long term physical, mental or criminal damage, but given the level of fked up some of my thoughts were at the time, that could have been different.

Would I do it again? Definitely. The come up was 11/10 amazing. If you can ride that throughout the trip, you're onto an absolute winner. But you need the right environment and to be in a good place mentally.

I first took it as a teenager and had some awesome times, mainly at illegal raves in the mid 90s.
A few times it was great, but I had no recall the next day, I literally could not remember anything about what I had done, where I had been anything. Apparently on one occasion I had a conversation with a statue for several hours.

All I could remember was being happy. Then my limited recall changed to to terror, it's really hard to explain a complete irrational terror, other than the memory of fear, weird.

After a couple of those terror episodes I stopped doing it. A few months after I stopped an acquaintance took a few too many Red Dragons and ended up in a mental hospital.

LSD has to many downsides to make it worth messing with IMHO.

Can you get tablets for embarrassment ?

The right environment is key, like inside a house with mates. I can imagine taking this stuff and being out in a pub or something could go bad very quickly.
