LSD experience: do you reccomend it, or not??

Question

heres the deal. i was brought up in a very southern, traditional family. i was raised in very strict doctirnes- pretty much that anything different is wrong. with that being said, here lately i have been researching different drugs, and read that LSD widens your horizen, gives you a different outlook on life, and a spiritual expirience, ect...my question is to the people that have honostly taken acid, what do you think about it? i have read so many different websites, but i want to know what real people think about it. the reason i want to take it is to open my mind to something ive never been exposed to. any thoughts?

oh yes, please dont pass judgement. i would appreciate if the lecture filled comments not be posted.

thanks

i am 15, consider myself mature......

Answer 1

Drugs are bad for your health in general - and they make you do dumb things. But in the end its up to you whether you want to wreck your body or not.

Answer 2

Pot does the same thing for much less risk. Assuming you've been through that for a couple of years you already have two chemically state dependent perspectives and know what it is to be 'experienced' or are thinking about it and will come to conclusions by 30 or so here's the score:
LSD is tricky stuff, if you are the sensitive over emotional type I'd steer clear. There are no end of people who claim someone put something in their drink and they went crazy, these are always bogus stories, 1 in 100 people goes crazy regardless of drugs they are just used as a common excuse.
If your life is a mess and has been getting messier don't do it, you could end up being so unhappy w/out it that you drive into a tree at 100 (then they will blame it on the drug which you couldn't even get at the time). If you're one of these tough, hard working straight A guys who can handle anything (unlike I was), it is a really cool experience. 10% of people really can't handle booze, a higher percent for pot, 99% for heroin. I'd say about half the people who think they can/will handle LSD don't do well on it, some permanently but not because it makes you permanently crazy, it can make you permanently dissatisfied w. normal life, or for a v. long time anyway.

Answer 3

Out of all the "stuff" I've done this a probably the one drug I regret. The first few times were incridible alot of constant laughing and cool visuals but once I had a bad trip,forget. Every trip after that was a bummer. And let me tell you a bad trip is the scariest most dreadful thing I have ever experienced. The idea of LSD opening up the mind was obviously something preached during the hippie counter-culture of the 60's. I will say that I became more philosophical and a deeper thinker after that but I was also smoking pot during those days, and pot sometimes gets credit for opening up your mind also. My best advice to someone wants to try it is Don't abuse it. And hopefully you are someone who has high self esteem and is "grounded". If you are not and are looking for an "escape" which is why alot of peole do drugs then I don't recomend it. For me it was a highschool fade that my friends and I did for recreation and fun. If you are looking for a spiritual experience I don't think you are going to find it. If you have ever met anyone who was a hippie during any era but esp. the 60's I can almost garantee you that in the long run it did more damage then good. So my final comment don't.If you are looking for a spiritual experience try Eastern Philosophy,Shamanism, mytholgy,Christ,Islam or anything along these lines

Answer 4

Have taken lots of LSD back in my hippy days. I found it spiritual for awhile. It did broaden my horizon and change my path in life.
But is just a tool. It is also just a drug. Like all drugs it can be abused and can take you over to the negative side.

It is not a recreational drug and should be respected. It is also a chemical.

Mescaline or psylocibin are more natural and easier going.

Know many it did not help at all and some it hurt. It depends on the individual, the drug purity, the environment and your maturity.

I would not recommend it with out much research and preparation. I do not know your age. It is illegal.

Am I glad I had the experience? Yes very much so. Was it an awakening/spiritual experience for me? Yes it was. My only regret, realize that it is not real, it is eye opening experience but is also delusional in a very subtle way.

Answer 5

Well ,when I was younger some of my friends and I used to experiment with it. It was fun at the time and can give you an intraspective view. I guess it would depend on maturity level. I wouldn't recommend anybody with mental or depression issues take it as things can get pretty intense. I've seen be go off and have a bad experience, but they were people with issues.
I probably wouldn't take it these days. I would recemmend psilocybin mushrooms as a much mellower experience.
That being said so, yeah I guess it's worth trying ay least once.

Answer 6

hI i STRONGLY RECCOMEND THAT YOU NOT TRY IT IT IS A PSYCHOTROPIC DRUG THAT CROSSES THE BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU SPIRITUAL INSIGHT BUT DOES GIVE YOU HALLUCINATIONS AND A WARPED OUTLOOK ON THINGS LIKE THE BELIEF THAT YOU CAN FLY IF YOU JUMP OFF A BUILDING OR THAT YOU ARE SUPOERMAN AND CAN STOP A SPEEDING LOCOMOTIVE WITH YOUR BARE HANDS AND IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW FORTUNATE ONE TO SURVIVE THE TRIP BECAUSE IT GETS INTO THE BRAIN YOU CAN HAVE NUMEROUS FLASH BACKS EVEN 20 YEARS LATER AND YOU ONLY TOOK ONE HIT IT WILL DESTROY YOUR LIFE FOREVER YOU WILL NEVER BE SURE OF ANYTHING WHETHER IT IS REAL OR IMMAGINED YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW IF YOU ARE AWAKE ASLEEP OR HAVING A BAD TRIP FANTASY AND REALITY BE COME LINKED WHERE YOU CANT TELL THE DIFFERENCE ITS A NIGHTMARE FEW EVER WAKE UP FROM SOME HAVE BUT ASK YOUR SELF IS IT WORTH THE RISK? LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULLETTE WITH 5OUT OF SIX BARELLS LOADED AND YOU SPIN THE CHAMBER AND THEN FIRE THERE A CHANCE YOU MIGHT SURVIVE AND MANY MORE THAT YOU WONT OR THERE IS ALSO THE CHANCE YOU WILL SPEND SOME TIME IN A PSYCHO WARD AND AN EXTREMELY HIGH PROBABILITY LIKE 99% THAT YOU WILL SPEND TIME IN PRISON AS LSD IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT BASED ON REALITY THIS IS REAL LIFE NO LECTURE GORBALIZER

Answer 7

I've taken LSD before, probably 6 or 7 years ago, and I did it probably 5 times or so.

It was fun, yes, but as far as broadening your horizons and really expanding your mind, that stuff is bullshit. Really, it will make you goofy and see tracers, but you won't have any spiritual revelations and all that.

Answer 8

uh no, ive tried it its no joke bud, try gettin high on some weed to open your horizons, with acid youll just end up on the 11o'clock news butt naked being tackled by your local law enforcement, in other words chances are high youll do something youll regret

Answer 9

I remember all the hype about spiritual this and that and all sorts of self-improvement. Unfortunately it just turned out to be another way of getting drunk.

Answer 10

Trip with someone you trust that has tripped before. Do not do any other drug when dosing on acid.

Trying mushrooms first might be prudent.
