Just once.

Anybody ever?

im in

i thought you were already.

I highly recommend it, but only if you

a. have nothing going on in your life that would stress you out and give you a bad trip
b. can do it somewhere safe and with people you are perfectly comfortable with

I know a guy...

type erowid into google

I concur.

So explain to me the effects of lsd that you'd need to have a clear mind to do it?

So if you just broke up with your girlfriend you'd prolly not wanna do it because it would be a bad trip?

Explain in detail.

Make sure you're in a good mood. Blotter paper. Enjoy.

So you guys are speaking from experience?

I just want to do something a little bit crazy while I'm still in my 20's and before I have kids..and I think it might be interesting.

Second the advice of speedz. If it's just you and one or two others I advise you have a friend around who isn't trippin to be your lifeline to reality because two or three trippers (especially inexperienced ones) can re-enforce each others bad ideas while tripping. Other random thoughts off the top of my head:

Have OJ and/or citrus fruits handy.
Weed ain't a bad idea either.
mellow tunes are your friend (more so toward the end of the trip).
stay positive, don't go too introspective.
stay hydrated.

So what happens during the trip?

Like is it a state of euphoria? Explain further.

Make sure you find something to do to kill for an hour while you wait for it to kick in. I've had times where I didn't and ended up taking some more because I thougt that the stuff I got was weak. Then it majorly started kicking in later and I was tripping like crazy.

Definitely try it. Good mushrooms too.

All you can say is, just try it, and you'll see a bit of life you'd never have seen otherwise.

That and pretty much everything else. Anger, paranoia, terror. It really depends on your mood and surroundings. DoinSublime is right about shrooms, the best drug I've ever done.

were you one of the guys telling me to change my 'gay' avatar? i remember you in those threads.

"Under the influence of hallucinogens, people see images, hear sounds, and feel sensations that seem real but do not exist. Some hallucinogens also produce rapid, intense emotional swings. One of the most potent mood-changing chemicals, LSD, was discovered in 1938 and is manufactured from lysergic acid, which is found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains."

Don't be retarded. I mean that in the nicest possible way. I have a drug addicted sister and it's not a good thing to take advice on a poker forum about something that could affect you (& family) for the rest of your life.

this guy's right. you wouldn't believe how many LSD addicts are currently littering the street, doing anything they can to score their next hit of acid, completely and hopelessly addicted from just that one first trip. its terrible.

my brother had a papercut once

P.S. Check out the sweet URL on the image.

Huge second.

This is what I'm saying should never happen if you do it right. I've dropped acid a handful of times and have never felt any of that.

Acid is shrooms...on acid, for lack of a better phrase. They give very similar trips, but acid is far more intense.

Part of it is becoming really introspective. It's very easy to start thinking about parts of your life and overanalyzing them to a ridiculous degree and then freaking out about it. If you're in a good state of mind it's really a good thing though...me and my friends called it having epiphanies. For example, one of mine was realizing that I had been acting like a typical obnoxious teenager and that I should be more respectful towards my parents...it stuck, and from then on our relationship was much better.



A lot happens. It's really hard to explain...you lose all sense of time, seemingly mundane things become ridiculously funny, you start trying to unravel mysteries (real or imagined)...and with good acid the visuals are amazing. Basically the whole world seems alive (in a good way, not a scary way).

Trying acid won't turn you into a drug addict, but it is a serious decision. I'd also recommend talking to a personal friend who has done it as opposed to relying on people from the Interweb.

I don't think anybody should take LSD without trying mushrooms first. Mushrooms really do rock. Similar effect, just not quite as intense and not nearrrrly as long. Try them, see if you like it.

I have never done Mushrooms or Acid.

I have smoked so much pot twice in my life that I have hallucinated. Both times were OK.

When I gave birth to my son, Demerol was put in my IV. I hallucinated. It was awful. I thought there were 30 or so people in my room, having a party. The TV which was off was on during my hallucinations. Then a contraction would hit, I thought someone was stabbing me and trying to kill me at this supposed party, I would scream like I was dying, the nurse would run into the room, yelling at me for freaking out the other patients. I would realize where I was at, do my deep breathing techniques, come to and feel calm for a moment. Once the contraction was over, I would return back to the same hallucination. This repeated over and over again, every 3-5 minutes for a couple of hours.

Needless to say, I do not want to do any drug, legal or otherwise that would cause hallucinations again.

You hallucinated from weed? That shit was laced.

LSD...

If you encounter negative feelings (anger, paranoia, fear, etc...) during an acid trip, there are a couple of ways you can get out of the rut. First, you can actually try to contemplate the issues, but it's important to remain calm and maintain your composure. You may surprise yourself and tap into some solution oriented information you didn't know you had.

It's important to remember that YOU are in control of the LSD and not the other way around. Allow yourself lots of leeway for freedom of thought. Don't dwell on things you can't change. Give the LSD free rein to open up your doors of perception and see/feel some new things.

Second, don't forget that music is one of your best friends during a trip. Play albums you know and love that aren't too harsh or demanding. If you find your mind is getting too wound up in the music, try another album, something long and lyrical, and I'm not talking about speed metal.

Third, if you're alone or with your girl, try "fooling around". When you ..uh...get to the end, as it were, just relax and much tension will go away.

I always enjoyed LSD and I've never had a bad trip, even when crappy things were happening to me in my life, even when I'd eaten too much LSD. Make sure you get the stuff from someone you can rely on to tell the truth. Blotter is best, as it cuts down on the speed some people use to cut the good stuff with. The cleaner the stuff, the less you'll feel as you get higher and higher.

Good luck and PM me if you need assistance during your trip.

agreed. the trips are kind of similar, but the way i've always described the difference is that shrooms always leave you in control of what's going on to some degree, but with acid you're at the complete mercy of the world around you. that can be a good or a bad thing, but it's impossible to really know what anyone is talking about with respect to tripping until you do it yourself.

and i can't really echo what others have said re: a good environment and company enough. if you're not going into it in a good mood, you will have a bad trip, and bad trips can be really, really bad. i've ended up curled up in my bed under the covers for upwards of 3 hours before. not fun. but i've also had great experiences if i was around the right people and in the right sort of comfortable place. also, as speedz said, make sure you talk to someone you know who's tripped before--don't trust people on the intarweb, especially those who are saying that acid is absolutely and across the board a bad idea.

AND MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAN AND YOU TRUST WHO YOU'RE GETTING IT FROM. a lot of acid these days is cut with rat poison to make things more "intense," but really all that does is make you more tense and more likely to freak out.

I missed so much in my life.....

In college I had a friend who kept wanting me to do acid with him, and I was willing, it just never worked out. These stories make me wish I had tried harder.

I have great memories from a Molly Hatchet and ZZ Top concert on acid. Standing front and center screaming my face off. This was before the slam dance/mosh pit days when you could enjoy a show from 10 feet away on the floor.

The last time I did mushrooms I had a bad trip and haven't done them since. I had just got a new house and car and a good paying job. It occured to me that being permanently high I would never be able to go back to work, and therefore lose everything. Seems logical enough. My friends were able to distract me with some ping pong so it wasn't too bad.

Hahaha...ping pong on 'shrooms...

I've watched tennis on LSD and I can tell you that I have no clue how they were able to return, with such efficency and accuracy, so many tennis balls with one single racket hit.

Either your not eating enough, or you need a new supplier. Try eating a quarter and get back to me.

lol, I drew the line at an eigth myself. Small frame and low tolerance. And even the eigth was a bit too much, had a couple hours of not so pleasantness.

A quarter of mushrooms is too much, IMO. It's like alcohol...getting drunk is great, but if you over-indulge you're looking for trouble. If you need to eat that much you should be looking for better quality.

I tried white blotter one time in college and it turned out to be a great experience.

There are 4 distinct things I remember about that night that I will never forget. I was in a great safe environment with good friends so ended up being a good experience.

1) I remember looking at my fingers and them turning into greyhound dogs and as I would move my fingers in front of my face its like the dogs were racing. My friends told me I was walking all over the room with my hand out in front of my face for at least 30 minutes. I remember the pinky ended up winning the race which is really weird because thats your shortest finger.

2) I remember having a can of coke and a straw and I put coke in the straw and layed down on some carpet and let the coke out of the straw onto the carpet. It was so freaking cool watching the coke seep (spelling?) into carpet. It was like the coke was eating the carpet and bubbly etc etc

3) I had a bunch of beads hanging down in the doorway inbetween my living room and dining area which seperated the rooms. For some reason, even though I knew better, during this trip I thought on the other side of the beads was another universe or world or something. My friend Scott that was doing it with me agreed and decided he wanted to explore this other universe, but I didnt like the idea at all. I remember him going right up to the beads and first sticking his hand through then slowly he went through arm first, half his body, then he was completely gone. He didnt say a word and I would have sworn he was now in another world.

4) The last thing I remember was sitting on my bed with no lights on except for blacklights listening to Pink Floyd's Wish you were here. On the wall beside my bed I had one of those posters of a pug dog with big fat flabby skin that was blowing because a large circular fan was blowing right in his face. For whatever reason during this trip the fan really started up in the poster and the dogs skin was flowing with the air then the dog got too close to the fan and it ended up getting shredded up by the fan and big chunks of meat and blood were flying from the fan against the bedroom wall beside my head. I remember thinking .. dammmmn.

It has nothing to do with need. If you need to eat that much, you should probably see a doctor: something is definitely wrong with you. Now want is a different story. Since psilocybin mushrooms have a very low toxicity, you can literally eat a truck full without risk of overdose. I have actually eatin half an ounce before (got up at 4am and ate with friend (we split an ounce) and watched the sun come up) and loved it. But control tends to go away about 2 hours into it when that much is consumed( in that particular trip I lost the power of speech for about an hour). It is also what is desired for me at least. Loss of control can make you face your fears and other anxieties. I eat shrooms once a year as a method of therapy. Love it.

I remember tripping once and I was sitting there listening to Cyprus Hill's "How I could just kill a man". My stereo had a EQ on it that the lights on it where shaped in a V, so during my trip I thought the stereo was talking to me cause it looked like a mouth opening and closing. And in the background of the song the guy yells "All I wanted was a Pepsi"... so I got up and went to the fridge, got my stereo a Pepsi and took it back and watched it drink it.

I also was playing NHL 93 on my Sega Genesis, the one where if you injured a player the blood would come out on the ice. Well I knocked some crappy Flyer player out and he started bleeding, then real blood started dripping from the top of my TV and down onto the carpet. I decided to stop playing games on acid.

I also never missed a shot from 1/2 court while playing basketball on acid, though I don't know for sure if I was actually shooting a ball or not.

lol, did your stereo forgive you the next day? Or was it gone forever?

I have to find my trip report that I wrote in college..

This has turned into a great thread. I can't wait to write about my camping mushroom journey.

Good stories, but this is redundant. Just sayin...

The stereo drank the Pepsi... I just watched. In my mind I was meeting a new type of AI that could carry on conversation with me.

Mushrooms all depend on their potency. I have taken less than a gram and gone blind and had my body shut down, and I've eaten a half an ounce because they were just some weak podunk mushrooms from a cow pasture in Gainesville. All in where they were grown (outside, cultivated in an aquarium, etc), and how much psilocybin has developed. A good general rule is, if you see some blue along the stems and underneath the caps, you've got some good mushrooms, so go a little at a time.

I found the entry in my college journal about the first time I took mushrooms. It's a rather jumpy entry - I wrote it a few weeks after and was in the middle of some crazy times. <rant> God I love going back and reading that ****. I wrote about 200 pages worth of stuff during 2 years of college. Every time I got ****ed up, hooked up with a chick, every time I got an STD. I recommend this for anybody in college - most days will be blurred and forgotten a week later - but having it all written out. Totally sweet. </end rant>

So I guess I will rewrite this trip report - looking at my original report and resummarizing: the first time I took shrooms was with my entire fraternity up in Windham NY. We were at a private property, a house on 15 acres with a lake. I had smoked a few bowls and drank 4-6 beers. Some of the boys started taking out mushrooms and offered me some. "What the f*ck, why not".

So I ate a few stems and caps - it was probably about half an eigth overall, or 1/16 ounce for the mathmatically challenged. We built up a big bonfire as I was starting to feel it kick in. It took a solid 30+ minutes before I felt anything, but I started to feel a strange yet comfortable tingling sensation all over my body.

The flames of the bonfire started to look blurry and seemed to extend a mile into the sky. The coolest thing about the fire was watching the little sparks continue into the air. "streaking" is one of the coolest effects of shrooms (no not running around naked). The effect of lights streaking. A spark from the fire looked like a long wiggly orange neon light extending towards the sky, now multiply that times 100 sparks. It was like my own firework show.

Eventually getting bored I decided to make a trek through the woods. I figured I couldn't get too lost, there was a huge fire, tons of people throughout the property, and I had been here before (so I knew the area fairly well). Wandering through the woods away from the fire was cool. It was very quiet except for the sounds of partying in the distance back by the lake/bonfire. Looking at the tree's against the backdrop of a sunsetting sky was awesome. The tree's seemed like they were ...hard to explain...like their shadows were bleeding or pulsating into the sky around it? They were just frieken tree's, but I musta stared for 10 minutes.

After doing a couple of laps around the forest I found myself circled back towards the lake. Just before you reach the lake, there is this 300 foot windey dirt path that leads to it. At the end of the path there is a small hill, so you can't see the lake from the path. I knew it was there, but it was now very dark and I didn't know how to navigate it. I would try to walk where I think the path is, but I kept ending up in the brush with a bunch of tall grass/branches/weeds around me. I had to backtrack towards the house (where there was light, at the start of the path), at least 5 times.

I just couldn't get back to the lake. I went back to the house where some people were, and asked for a flashlight. Nobody had one, but someone gave me a lighter. Back to the path I went, lighter in hand. Using the lighter, I navigated myself down the path, to the hill just before the lake. However, my brain forgot it was a hill. Instead of just walking the extra 20 feet up this hill, I was standing there, staring at apparent darkness. I literally thought I was standing there looking into the lake already and was afraid to step forward. I could hear voices, see the glow of the fire in the distance, but I was too nervous to walk. I stood there for what seemed like an hour, when finally someone else came along the path.

"Leo, what the f*ck are you doing?"

"Going to the lake"

"No your not, you are just standing there."

"Take me to the lake"

"It's right there, come on"

"Oh."

Feeling stupid, I followed my buddy up the hill and the lake and bonfire exploded into view. It all makes sense now, I remember thinking. Stupid hill. I wonder how much time I spend on that path...it coulda been 5 minutes, it coulda been 50. I could not tell you.

Anyways, I went back and spent time around the fire, wandered around the lake, spent time some just laying in the grass looking up at the stars. Everything just felt comfortable and surreal. I woke up the next morning, having somehow made it back to the house and into my sleeping bag. I don't remember going back there, but no vomit, my body wasn't tagged in marker (shoes were off), so everything seemed ok. Not even a hangover.

I walked back to the lake to just sit and take it all in. Trying to remember all the stuff I had seen (or thought I saw). It was a very calm peaceful feeling. It was my first mushroom trip of many, and it was one of the coolest nights of my life.

The End.

That was a good story.

If it wasnt for off forum I would think the only thing you do is insult idiots and chastise noobs.
It is hard job but someone has to do it. I guess

Also Never done LSD or mushrooms because i dont trust anyone. Weed however is much more "avaliable" where i am so multiple contacts meaning more reliable quality.

haha, tons of people think that about me. But it's just an internet forum so I'm not worried if the general poker fcktards like me. And i'd rather they stay in Genpop then come here and try to "participate". You can also see in depth Yoda contributions in "stock market thread" "turn based web game" "Addicting games w/money making opportunities" and various sports forums. ::signs an autograph for fighter and moves on to the next guy::

/me huggles Off Topic and spits at Genpop.

I whole heartedly disagree, it's more a matter of how hard you want to trip and how used to tripping you are. of course, I was always a balls to the wall kind of guy, so I would start my shroom doses at 3 grams and work from there
