Thread: LSD explained for what it is.

Really great Documentairy about LSD, because it's unbiased, scientific and complete.

This is great for washing away the lies and propaganda that the masses have been told about LSD.

Definately tripping.

Extremely interesting.

This only makes me want to take acid even more, and it makes me even angrier that the US government classifies it as having no medical use.

My opinion of course. LSD just makes me think of blood and horror...literally.
Now certain shrooms....that's a whole different and enlightening experience.
Well for me.

That sounds to me like it could be quite a troubled, damaged state of your subconscious being.

I do reckon acid has a bit of an animalistic rage-edge somehow. Like it makes you feel the way a Piraña fish becomes manic and wild when it smells blood. But to me it is very dependant on the feelings present in the deeper layers of your mind/soul. If you are in a light, positive, fresh- emotional/mental state of being then your LSD trip is likely to be similair, only more extreme and magnified. If on the other hand you are in a heavy, dark, sad or bitter state of being then your LSD trip is likely to be of a similair nature, only more intensely so. Your LSD trip may be revealing/exposing a troubled, darkened, negatively charged part of your being of which you were totally unaware. This is why LSD (and other Entheogens) is so good at diagnosing mental ailments/wounds and, in turn allow you to heal them. By dissolving the ego it removes barriers which allow acces into previously unknown and long "forgotten" parts of your psyche/soul and it enables you to make connections you were previously unable to make. It allows exploration into the unexplored depths of our being that lay behind the Ego-barries that we usually can't cross in our Ego-dominated consensus daytime awareness. This is how LSD helps so many people (artists, Architects, Neurologists..etc) "reach their full potential" as is often said about LSD.

However high enough doses of Psilocybin Mushrooms can cause the same degree of Ego-dissolving and deep introspection. So the mushrooms can also make you aware of negatively charged parts of your being, resulting in the experience of negative sensations, emotions, thoughts and visions. That does not mean it has to be a Negative experience. That all depends on how you handle the experience
If you resist these sensations it will result in a negative experience of fear, sadness, confusion. If however you succeed it letting these negative sensations flow freely through you, they will flow through and out of you. And so you will be freed/healed from them.
This is the art of Entheogenic healing. And most human beings can learn it believe me.
I have trained myself with numerous psychedelic experiences (Mushrooms, LSD), once every 1, 2 or 3 month, gradually increasing the dose to learn this state of surrender where I let all sensations (negative or Positive) run freely through me, while I remain meditating in passive awareness. I now know my personal ideal doses of LSD, DMT and Mushrooms(not too high, not too low) and I now have the right mindset and approach to psychedelic experiences to no longer fear getting caught up in negative sensations. If you manage to achieve such a surrendered, meditative state of being during a psychedelic experience, suddenly the common, populair saying "Go WITH the Flow" makes alot more sense to you.

On LSD I have had visions of beautyfull, yet terrifying dragons, of beautyfull geometrical flower bookets overlaying the sky and all surfaces, I've seen gigantic mushrooms rotate in the sky, screaming faces emerge from behind the wall, as well as 100ds of airborne, illuminated, orb shaped beings that sing inredibly high pitched, healing chants/vibrations....etc

So the things I've seen on LSD were of a supernatural/magical nature; Both Dark and Light. Scary and Comforting at the same time. Usually mixed together in equal portions.

If you see blood and horror on LSD that might indicate that a certain part of your being/spirit is rather troubled and needs some special care/healing.
Ironically LSD can be used to heal that as well. If you face the horror and let it "come out of you" then you may one day be rid of it. Whatever it may be.
This blood and horror sounds to me like a reflection of troubled part of the self.

I wasnt totally clear sorry...when I think / see blood and horror. It's only with my eyes closed. I have a great time with them open. Seeing music as colors...etc

Shrooms do reduce the ego into a oneness with the universe feeling.

I have a few questions about LSD if you don't mind:

For one thing how similar to P. Cubensis are they? I am very experienced with shrooms (done them about 20+ times) and never once experienced a bad trip. Evertime I do them I come out with something similar to what you have experienced... an overall appreciation for the small parts of the world (mostly nature) and also what shroom users call the "after glow". I've been wary of trying LSD mostly because so many people tell me about bad trips and flashbacks, but after seeing those videos on it I believe I now want to try.

How long do flashbacks last for, and how intense are they? Are they just as intense and long as a normal LSD trip?

And for a first time acid experience would it be possible to trip on half a tab? My friend told me to cut it in half for my first and second trips, then after I have gotten used to the experience take the entire blotter.

One more... you said you have experimented with many different psychadelics... would that include Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric)? If so how closely do LSD and Fly Agaric trips relate?

Nicely explained Mr.Fantasy,
This "Okayness" sounds like the state of surrender I spoke of earlier. It will show you all your flaws, but because the ego is removed for that level of introspection you can see all your flaws objectively: Without fear, Without Guilt, without Shame, Without Grief, Without Lies, Without Illusion and Without Earthly attatchment(note how these 7 "Sins" correspond to the 7 main Characteristics of the Ego that can block each of the 7 Chakra's From Root to Crown respectively)

Being stripped of Ego by a psychedelic or other medium results in all life energy flowing freely through you again. This is a state of Zen. Enlightenment. Complete stillness of Mind. Being ultimately open in the here and now and no longer being self-absorbed with thoughts, worries, feelings, memories concerning the past and the future.

This is how we are supposed to be.

Shrooms do reduce the ego into a oneness with the universe feeling.

Like all different parts of your body belong to you, so do all living creatures on this Earth belong to the massive Earth body. And so does all of existance.

Your Arm is no seperate entity, it is part of you. Your arm, together with the rest of your physical and nonphysical being, forms a whole that is "You". Similairly "You" are no seperate entity from the Earth of the planet you walk on and all other living beings on that planet. Together it forms a whole that is hard to name. It has been called many things, this "whole"; Allah, Buddha, Jahweh, Jah, Elohim, Addonai, Krishna, Eloh, Tao, God, Zeus, Charles Mingus..etc

The physical and spiritual/mental enviroment around you should be seen as an extention of "You". As an extention of your own, individual being. You are in no way even remotely seperate from the rest of existance. It is the Ego that limits our sense of "self" to our physical bodies and the therein present "individual" thoughts, experiences, beliefs and desires. If a psychedelic is taken, the Ego is dissolved and suddenly we have no problem at all seeing how there is no "border" whatsover between your "own" body, and the physical enviroment around you. And that there is no border either between your "own" consciousness and that of any other human, Fish, Insect, Tree, Mushroom or Plant.

All of existance is one being.

If human communities dissolve the Ego on a frequent basis with Entheogenic plants and substances, like Santo Daime's people do, then they would remain in this state of Egoless, blissfull, awakened consciousness and it would greatly benefit the social structure of their communities.

Cause the true enemy of mankind aren't manipulative Reptilians, Aliens, Mutants, Matrix Programmers, Jews, Gays or Communists like many wackos keep trying to have us believe.

The only True enemy of Mankind is it's Ego. It is the cause of all human miserable, destructive behaviour.

sick videos. wow. *applauds* Thank you national geographic.
and WTF about the rats? 150 micrograms!??! every 48 hours!? those rats are perma-tripping
another edit: My doses have been interesting so far. I've had these bad trips where I forget that I'm tripping, think I've died, that I'm living the afterlife and everything that is happening to me is eternal hell. A couple of those, but not quite blood and horror.. well, a little horror.
bad shroom trip where I forgot I'm tripping, thought my contacts hardening up(I had had my eyes open for quite a while probably) was my dead eyeballs crusting.. man.
Honestly I need some good, down to earth not-going-to-fuck-with-you and will-remind-you-that-you're-tripping kinda people with me when I trip acid. 1/2 an 8th of shrooms and i'm set.
but on higher doses of shrooms or moderate doses of acid.. it seems to reoccur that when my brain starts to lose the logic/reasoning part, I freak the fuck out.

Yes, I've personally found mushrooms to be more effective in the way of ego dissolution. Every mushroom trip I take just seems to go there whether I want it to or not. They make me feel okay with myself in a very profound way, like I'm finally accepting myself for who I really am, flaws and all. In this state of "okayness," I can let my guard down completely and no longer need to project an image of respectability out to the world in order to make people think a certain way about me.

LSD however is also a very powerful drug with much healing potential. For me personally I have found it most useful in the area of creativity enhancement. I have noticed that since my 5th or 6th or 7th LSD trip, I have an overall greatly expanded appreciation for natural beauty. I find myself stopping to stare in awe at a beautiful wisp of cloud, or a tree, or even something as simple as the mark of old leaves left on the sidewalk that no one would ever think to look twice at. I also have to say that my musical appreciation and tastes have grown exponentially since I started using LSD.

WHOOAAA! Double Rainbow!

I find acid more tense whereas I find mushrooms more relaxed and smooth. On the other hand... I find Mushrooms more of an authoritairian, hard teacher, whereas I find Acid to be a more relaxed teacher that allows you more free will. With that said I find Mushrooms a better Ego-solvent/Spiritual Healing I find Acid more of a psyche-exploratory, intelligence/intuition enhancing, extatic/aphrodesiac, creativity stimulating, self-development/help tool.

Sure. I can perfectly handle a mushroom trip. Or an Acid Trip. Or an Ayahuasca trip. Or a DMT trip. Nevertheless must I say that there's a limit to what I can take. If I take too much acid I notice I become VERY stimulated; Like totally charged with tense energy. My reasoning starts to become disturbed. I'm no longer aware of what I'm doing, cause my awareness is in a TOTALLY different "place" than my physical body. Such an experience would ONLY be responsible if it were under strict guidance of a sitter. Same goes for mushrooms. If the dose is too high the experience amounts in too much confusion and incoherent perception. Off course what dose is "small", "moderate", "high"and "too high" differs from person to person.

But I tend to take no more than 1 blotter acid for a trip. For social celebrations, artistic, meditative and oneirogenic purposes I like to take only 3/4th of a blotter or less.

does anyone know about Lithium/ Lsd interactions ? ....it can be bad maybe fatal , my question for the smart people is , how long approx would one have to stop taking lithium to be in the trip safe zone ?

What is the point of taking LSD anyways? Kind of sounds like drinking plain decaf coffee.

Useless.

What do you mean? Have you ever taken it? Definitely not a drug I'd label as "decaf".

I've only ever tried it once, but LSD was a very liberating experience for me. I was in my friend's basement with him and another person. We took two hits each.
It was as though the world had ended thousands of years ago and we were burried by weather many miles underground. Everyone and everything I knew outside of the basement were ancient memories. The basement was the last room in the universe. It felt like I would be there for all eternity and it didn't matter one bit. Very calming experience.
Also, the site of my friend standing, looking at the dawn through the basement window would've made the perfect album cover!

I'd like to try LSD and Ecstasy. I would just like to know more about it. I've made up my mind about Ecstasy and I'll try it.

But as for the LSD, I kind of think I'm to young to do it. *!!DO NOT FLAME ME, I COULD HAVE MY "FACTS" WRONG!!* I heard if you have a bad trip, it could scar you mentally and you could have breakdowns. Or, it stays in your system (or spinal cord?) and it comes back randomly and give you an unexpected trip.

But uhhh, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'd love to know more about it! As for the video, I'll just pirate it haha.
