How did LSD change your life?

  1. I've been reading Timothy Leary's autobiography Flashbacks. He talks a lot about how it can have life changing effects, spiritually and bahaviorly and just on the mind in general. I was wondering how it has changed you guys? Did you take it to have a good time or because you had been preparing mentally for it and want to explore other circuits of your brain?
     
  2. when i can find the shit i'll let you know!
     
  3. I started using LSD out an uncontrollable curiousity about it and have used it ever since. The things you see/experience change you and your way of thinking. My story is an odd actually, I started using it senior year, but the summer of that year I tripped like on avg 3.7 or something times a week on 3-4 medium-verys strong doses. By the end of the summer I was paranoid, has constant visual/auditory hallucinations, etc. and depression eventually came along with it. I abused it, but it taught me a lot in the end. After I overcame my depression on my own (took the pills, but quit as I think the only real way to fix depression is with logic/reason) I became vastly more intelligent and my understanding of people and the mind are much greater than any other person I know. LSD is simply one of the most beutiful eye opening things you can ever try :)
     
  4. never done
     
  5. it made me understand everything better. it gave me crazy ideas about shit, but everyone i share them with understands what im sayin. you gotta take it to understand
     
  6. Acid is defiantly a different expeirence. It opens new ways of thinking and you experiance a new realm all together really... no negitive affects i have experinced.... thats why im gettign 20 more hits for this weekend.. lol... i have been doign alot of it recently... but i would suggest do it in moderation... you can learn things about yourself and the world
     
  7. had two lsd experiences in my life. (and one lsa mixed with mushrooms n then some other boundary disolving stuff)

    first one, a microdot...
    in strange surroundings, knowing only half the people around. i wouldnt have done it if i had played it by the [psychedelics] book. but curiosity and "the impetuousness of youth" took over.

    it was far from meeting any expectations i had.

    for the first few hours (which felt much longer, in a time is meaningless kinda way), i was infuriated, frustrated, and in considerable discomfort that i had these burdensome things called arms... they were a nuicance... i felt like removing them, and would have had i not retained enough of a cautiousness and sensibility. this continued for some time as i sat there, only occassionally my attention from it distracted by the odd smell in the flat.

    then, as if that wasnt enough after hours of that, i noticed i had legs too! OH NO! "discomfort" is such an understatement.

    it took many years later for me to fully assimilate what was going on.

    i was sitting half way between my "everyday" state and being pure consciousness, having no physical mass of body to carry around.

    it now highlights and reminds me of the true nature of my being, having explored this some months after that experience with the largest dose of magic mushrooms i have ever taken, where (oh how pathetic these words are) I explored the universe through a drop of water, went beyond death to know it, and danced with the ocean of infinate consciousness. ... oh that so totally doesnt even begin to do justice to the experience.

    my life has been changed and made "more" from magic mushrooms much more than from any other psychedelic or other substances i have consumed*.

    like a hug & brushing/dusting off from mother nature. :)


    * but once i understood it, that first LSD trip... oh yes. very important.

    edit- oh, and the second trip... nothing special to report. i think i waited to long to take it and it had lost its kick.
     
  8. I am able to mentally prepare myself for almost anything, I fear almost nothing (even though I've have an insanely great time every time I've tripped). The reason I fear almost nothing after doing LSD for the first time, is because I understood, and still do understand the power of the human mind. I also learned that the human mind is the most powerful mechanism in our immediate existence. I figured out infinity: This is a really quick summary of it, basically, everything is atoms inside of atoms, infinitely bigger, and infinitely smaller, I figured out this entire detailed thing of that and so much more, in about the time it took me to blink my eyes. LSD is one of the most powerful substances know to man, the chemical so strong its effects can't kill you, but can cause you to kill yourself, can't enlighten you, but can show you enlightenment through a glass window, a chemical in which a single dose is measure in micro grams, which is 1/100 of a milligram. One micro gram is approximately the size of a grain of table salt.

    Oh and by the way I could attempt to go into detail on the subject ;).

    EDIT - One other thing I realized at one of my peaks about 5 hours in, in no way is marijuana a drug, man was I gone, acid is a drug.
     
  9. You dont need acid to achieve similar explorations into the mind. LSD is just a link to the subconcious, as is meditation and dreaming. Marijuana can aid the journey with meditation, last night I had some major breakthroughs in my mind, and today read Tim Learys 8 circuit theory, and realized it was what I had become aware of. The subconcious is a place of infinite power and vastness, and all subconciouses are linked. If you have an open mind and have explored your subconcious before, wikipedia the 8 circuit theory, which correlates with the belief of theosophy, which share my preexisting beliefs and expand on them. This "religion" I say that tentatively b/c its not so much a religion as it is a science really makes sense if you can understand it. If you dont know what to believe as far as religion and have made the first steps into your mind, theosophy is a logical answer. Idk why im preaching this belief system that I just found out about, but read up on this stuff.
