Hallucinogen Appreciation

[Dan H.]

This thread is for all the hallucinogenic drug appreciation.

What's your hallucinogen of choice?

What's your favorite tripping story?

My buddy has had a steady supply of mushrooms this month and I've been taking supreme advantage of it.

Gonna eat an eighth tonight and see how it goes.

I think I prefer LSD to shrooms though. It's a much more active trip.

Love em. Would love em more if anyone still sold the bastards. Think I might be getting a bit long in the tooth for all that caper but I'm always up for a laugh. So fuckin' rare though, you need to get in with the white university lads crowd to get on that stuff. That or the West London squat party punk crowd.

[Dan H.]

Come to the states and I'll hook you up.

Sitting on some DMT right now. Waiting for the right time to do that shit, I've only done it once and it was unreal.

I've noticed that smart phones are the greatest invention for acid heads ever. Two months ago I took two hits and just stared at my Spotify playlist screen for a few hours.

I've never been able to sit on drugs like that man. I don't think I've ever tried that, think?, i know i haven't, whats it like, what was the unreal experience?

[BreakDown2014]

I've only done LSD. I'm waiting for a friend of mine who is growing his own shrooms to get that done to try them.

Trip was great, I don't think I've ever learned so much in just 3-4 hours.

The next day I woke up with a huge feeling of purity, loved it

[arnold layne]

LSD. I wrote a journal about my experiences.

Won't do it anymore though. I'm done with them.

Damn! DMT? I've only heard crazy stories about that but I don't have any close friend who has tried it. I'd love to try it on summer once I get to Peru with my friends on a trip, but if we don't get any, we'll try Ayahuasca.

Anyway, how was it? Must be really hard to put into words

[Len Cnut]

Still got the journal? What did you write?

It was odd. My Persian buddy and I smoked it at my old place. We each took our hits and kinda sat their for a while.

At some point we decided we needed some smokes and a 30 rack so we went out to the gas station a few blocks down.

We walked and chatted for a bit, and killed about half an hour there and back. We were both super bummed because DMT is supposed to kick in pretty quickly and peak around 15 minutes in. So we figured that shit was bunk, but decided we were satisfied with some beers, smokes, and dabs.

So we got about halfway back and woke up on the couch in my apartment.

No beers. No cigs.

We both freaked the fuck out because we both knew we walked to the pumps to get some cigs, but in retrospect the whole walk was really surreal, like a dream, but it seemed vividly real at the time.

There was no come down. Just went from black out tripping to dead sober in the blink of an eye. It was very strange.

Kinda disappointing, but very interesting that we had the same trip.

I once bought a kilo of psychedelic mushrooms from a friend of a friend, intending to both do them and sell them. I ended up doing them every couple of days, for a whole month.

I would have probably done them every day if not for the fact they don't really work if they're still working their way through your system.

Anyway, I realized I was drug bingeing and swore them off for a good long while. Six or seven months later I had a friend who offered to buy the bulk of them from me. I went into my basement where I had them stashed in a zip-lock bag and I was horrified to see they had all spoiled; mustard yellow mold had grown over the caps and stems, making them less than worthless.

I don't know if I ever kicked myself harder in the ass. Should have bought mason jars.

Great fun but I think I'm probably a bit old for that kinda thing these days.

You haven't done hallucinogens until you've tried Alpha-O.

The absolute strongest hallucinogen I've ever come across. It's been banned for about 10 years now.....long story short, if you did a bump of it the size of pinhead you would trip like you took 6 hits of acid and 6 e-pills all at once....for about 6-8 hours....absolutely insane.

[Dan H.]

LSD is a really sharp trip. It's like a roller coaster.

Shrooms are so much more chill, but I've never hallucinated on them. I just always feel really warm and comfortable in an indescribable way

[RandallFlagg]

Dissociatives can be pretty whacked out once you're used to the state and plateaus of the trip, not as hectic as psychedelics but definitely a compelling angle on the mind's darker corners, you're not as freaked due to the double glazing so to speak but that's pretty useful if you've got some cool shit to watch or particular thoughts set out to think upon or somewhere to go as long as you're not doing some dose out of your depth or repressing some bad thoughts.

[Gordon Comstock]

I love 'mushroom euphoria'. And tracers. The only thing I dislike about mushrooms is the length of the trip.

[DR DOOM]

I posted my DMT experience in that thread about the South American concoction that the (British?) tourist died from a while back, it's so hard to describe I couldn't be arsed trying to articulate it again.

LSD, mushrooms, Datura and Brugmansia, Salvia Divinorum...when I was a bit younger I lived for all that kind of shit, but besides a very special occasion I'm pretty much done.

Unfortunately it seems synthetic LSD is really prevalent now, kids are always fucking up and taking walks off roofs or having heart attacks from that shit here.

I dumped a few tabs of the synthetic shit last year I think, it felt like a really weak E with a double dose of that filthy, cooked lobster dirty blotter acid feeling...lousy.

I used to be "that guy" In highschool- I'd drop Datura into one eye to dilate the pupil, ate a tab of acid every day for a week to prove how far out I was....lots of dumb shit.

Eating a tab a day wasn't all that, though- after the first one it was all just a dirty, shitty wallow in come down land for the next six days...it wasn't very good acid though.

Not sure if you were referring to my comment but Alpha-O is not LSD. It's the strongest Tryptamine known to man. About 1000X stronger than DMT.

FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO READ ABOUT NATE'S JOURNEY ON LSD I RECCOMEND

1. This Thread

2. This Journal:

By Nate

Like most of my peers in the beginning of high school, I was taught the dangers of drugs, mostly the commonly abused substances such as alcohol and marijuana. I was easily persuaded and took my vow to never use substances, but that never lasted. I started smoking marijuana habitually at the end of senior year to help reduce Paxil withdrawals.

During freshman year of college I started to gain an interest in Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd, The Doors and the whole 60s counterculture. By this time I was smoking almost every day and was interested in Timothy Leary, Albert Hoffman and psychedelics. I also started to question life, religion and the subject of personality and psychology.

I soon learned that these subjects greatly determine the outcome and experience of a psychedelic trip.

This summer, starting around June 2011, I found some LSD and have tripped several times, but nothing compares to the experience I had two days ago. I was accustomed to great experiences and downplayed the possibility of a bad trip, but I soon learned that they are possible.

The trip started when I was invited to a friends house party. I took one pill of Bupropion SR, an antidepressant, and chewed and swallowed a tab and a half of LSD at 7:30 PM (I tripped for roughly 7 to 8 off of just half a hit other times), about an hour later my perception just went mad.

At roughly 8:45 when four of my friends were playing Beer Pong I was in full swing. I became tingly, cold, jittery, and absolutely in my own world. The other people I was with never experienced with LSD so I warned them that there was a chance I would become secluded and weird because this was the most I have ever taken. Well I walked around the house with a plastic cup madly chewing on a straw and a neon green blanket over me to keep me warm. I remember specifically I was very interested at the pong table and the water droplets that were lying there. At first the water droplets just grew larger and shrunk at an even pace, but then my perception could see the darkened color pattern on the table and it rippled out of control. It was probably most comparable to seeing a lake on a ping-pong table rippling with waves to the sober mind. During this time I was also interested in a picture with a movie reel. The movie reel started spinning like you would see at an old fashioned movie show, and the letters started to bold, italicize, shrink, grow larger and move.

At around 9:15 PM, the carpet began to wave up and down and the fabric started to shrink and grow. They resembled little white worms moving around. I began to freak out. My teeth started chattering, my heart started pounding, and I felt overly high. I thought I took to much and I knew I had to work the next day so I began running around the house rambling about how much I took and how I would never take this stuff again. The other people started to think I was nuts, and rightfully so, so then I was escorted upstairs into a separate bedroom to calm down.

In the bedroom I was still freaking out. By this point there were probably no less than thirty people in the house, and to make it clear it is probably not smart to be the only person on acid in a house party where everyone else is drunk out of their mind. So I lay in bed feeling a little sick and to be honest, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I felt trapped and drifting towards death, but there was nothing I could do but sit there and look around the room. The blue flowery patterns on the bed started to rotate, the specs on the ceiling seemed to come together to make patterns and grow large as if they were going to fall on me, the bedroom fan had propellers that started to curl down towards me, grow, shift into rectangular shapes, and then shrink again. I also thought the police were yelling on speaker phones outside the house and about to crash in and arrest everyone for underage drinking. This was very uncommon because I never heard auditory hallucinations on other trips.

At around 10 PM I calmed down a little bit and just started to enjoy the trip. I remember I had to use the bathroom and I couldnt pee straight. It was hard to walk on this much acid and I was stumbling all over the place. A puddle of urine hit the floor and quickly covered the whole tile as if I flooded the bathroom with my own pee. That kind of freaked me out so I did my best to clean up my mess. I also did this extremely fast because the bathroom window ledge started to jet at me kind of threateningly. So then I went back to bed and stare at the ceiling a bit more.

At around 10:15 PM two girls came into my room and asked what I was doing by myself. They had been drinking but still good enough to have a good solid conversation. One was definitely into me at that point, climbed onto the bed and started patting my stomach. I told her I was on acid and she was sympathetic about it and told me I shouldnt do that to myself. After a while it was clear she was looking to hook up for the night. I was kind of disappointed, not because I didnt want sex, but because I was on acid. Let me be clear that it is impossible to have sex on acid. Your sex drive almost shuts down. I was terrified of her and terrified of getting intimate while tripping my balls off. Well eventually some other guy came into the room and blocked us from advancing (or brought me out of the situation, whatever youd want to put it), so I let them talk and went downstairs to enjoy my trip somewhere else. I was kind of depressed because I am naturally a shy and socially awkward person so this was my chance. I guess Ill have to wait.

At this point, time was irrelevant and distorted. For all I know it could have been midnight when the girls came in, but I remember sitting on a chair in a room by myself and fascinated by a chair on the other side of the room. When sober its just a plain old chair with different colored dots, but while tripping they looked like clocks telling time and ticking, while shrinking and growing larger. I was also excited about the desk near me. The knob on the furniture has a stripe pattern and it looked like it was unscrewing itself from the drawer, and the candle displays were breathing and moving like jellyfish. There was a piece of fuzz lying on the ground and I thought it was a worm crawling towards me so I tried to pick it up and almost talked to it. I also saw what I interpreted was broken and shattered glass on the floor, so when I was barefoot I tried to side step everything because I didnt want my feet to get cut. When I examined it closer it was really just a gummy life-saver.

It is also important to note that you can definitely tell people are hammered. When you are drunk its hard to know that, but on acid youre under the influence but you can think differently than drunken people. It was impossible and very awkward to talk to drunken people. I kept to my own business. A friend was nice enough to make me a pizza and offered me some. My stomach was empty but I couldnt eat anything. I was also too jittery to smoke properly so I gave up on that. By this time I could talk normally and carry on a conversation, but I was still stumbling all over the place.

The people at Apple are also legends by those who do LSD. Its beyond amazing. The keys on the iPhone zoom so out towards your eyes that it looks like you are typing your keys in air. The keyboard letters move, shrink, grow larger, darken, glow, and dance around. Also the LCD screen colors flow out of the screen and form and bond with your hand so it looks like your hand and phone are one.

Eventually I caught a ride home. The rest of the night was a blur. I remember that I couldnt sleep so I lay in bed and looked at the pictures around my room grow large and shift and move, and the fan growing larger and taking up space. There comes a point where youre really tired and you want your trip to end so you can sleep, but its impossible. I didnt get any sleep that night, and objects were still off until two the following afternoon. The next day was not enjoyable because I felt burned out, unresponsive and my jaw hurt.

Acid is truly a fascinating drug. I didnt really learn anything about myself on it, but you gain a new perspective on objects because they dont look the same at all. Well they look familiar, but the lines and the patterns distort and transform.

Also remember that its important to be in the right mindset while taking this drug too. If you are quiet, antisocial, withdrawn and depressed like me, it may not be the smartest decision to take a lot of psychedelics. There are studies that have determined that these types of traits may be the onset of schizophrenia. It is a risk that you must be willing to take. There are benefits to LSD though. You will experience a journey that cannot be simulated by movies, television, in books or in every day life. It is an experience that is completely unreal, and somewhat indescribable unless you have the chance to drop. I did say that I was never going to touch LSD again, but that is a lie unless I cant get hands on it again. Its a good experience and Im glad I had the chance to enjoy it. It was a night that I will remember forever, but at the same time, easily forget.

Shit, thats made me wanna whizz now, bastard

[magisme]

Only kind of drug I never enjoyed. LSD scared the shit out of me.
