How can we tell you, if you're off wandering in the park?

― Aimless (Aimless), Friday, 16 April 2004 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

it's good acid.

― cozen (Cozen), Friday, 16 April 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

well, it hasn't kicked in *yet*

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

This one time I was in the cafeteria with a full tray and I totally stumbled over this guy's foot and threw salad on my co-workers.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I fell on the floor.

― Aja (aja), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

har har.

Once I could see one of my friends' skulls through the rest of her head while I was talking to her. That was pretty cool.

― martin m. (mushrush), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

But isn't that about acid?? we're talking about tripping.

i thought my toilet was a man-eater. it was a rough weekend.
we've had threads abt this before.

One time with this stuff called Mad Hatter, everyone I looked at, I saw them aging before my eyes...men grew beards and their eyebrows got all Saruman-long, womens smile lines & foreheads got wrinkly, everyone's hair got grey. I knew it should've freaked me out, but instead it made me feel very, erm, settled.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I've seen the aging thing with other people too. I also stared at my own hand for a long time watching it age. Every time it got to a certain point, it would reset and start over.

― martin m. (mushrush), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I was convinced that London was breathing beneath me and I paid 5 pounds for a glo-in-the-dark yoyo. Then I listened to the 13th Floor Elevators.

that is a beautiful story.
have you considered making a movie (á la lost in translation) about this¿

― dyson (dyson), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

where did you find it? you know this stuff is like GOLD now.

I have hundreds of stories to tell, but they will have to happen after lunch.

on one occasion, i became convinced that cop shoot cop was the best band of all time. on another, i made someone a mix tape that had an entire side of the first ten seconds of sheela na gig repeated endlessly.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I once made a "movie" while on acid. Hahahahaha!

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd show it to you, but it would fuck you up beyond all recognition.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 16 April 2004 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

It involved opening up the aperture all the way, pointing the camera at the television, and flipping channels incredibly fast. Soundtrack by Skylab, jimi Tenor, and errrr, PM Dawn.

I swung a blue jacket around to put it on and saw blue butterflies flap away.

Before, during that trip, the room was filled with a web of tiny red threads and I could feel and move them. That was pretty cool.

Seeing giant slugs and feeling little skulls crunch in my mouth and throat as I drank orange juice was a less pleasant experience. (And taught me to stick to mushrooms.)

What is that urban myth about people who take a certain amount of acid become legally insane? How many hits?

Yeah - it's 10 or 11. Oh dear.

The way we documented who did what where was really funny to read later.

Ex:

Minutes 170 - 200: Kevin - fire-breathing dragon, Nick - water falling from the sky, Chris - ogre farts, Jon - jellybean earthquakes, Ron - bloop bleeps, etc...

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

One time I couldn't figure out to wear so I changed my clothes compulsively for over an hour.

― mcd (mcd), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

God, even thinking about going out on acid makes my palms sweaty. I think I am completely OVER doses. I've had dreams about trying some adult tripping, ala Huxley, with pads of paper and all clinical style... but I think I would just worry about taxes or my teeth the whole time.

later she spilled a bottle of lotion all over the bureau and stood there mesmerized, staring at the resulting puddle in horror. if i hadn't been there to clean up, i don't think she would have made it out of the room.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Once we were away somewhere and a friend ate a few too many mushrooms, anyway I was just doing pills that night but I went walking on the beach with other friends and when we came back he had covered most of himself in tinfoil because "I am the tin man".

Erm.....right!

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Somebody started talking to me but it sounded like complete gibberish so I ignored them and concentrated on the feathers growing out of my arm. At the time I was actually working on a hotel reception desk and the person was trying to check in but I didn't get fired because the boss was tripping too. The feathers turned into ice and I could see into the next dimension through them.

― dave q, Friday, 16 April 2004 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

One time under cover of blacklight I found these amazing crayons that glowed brilliantly under the UV glow and totally rubbed them all over the strings on my guitar until each string was glowing a different neon color, not to mention putting a wide variety of doodles & Soul Coughing lyrics all over the body of the guitar, it looked so totally awesome until this asshat named Austin showed up out of nowhere and turned on the house lights and I realized I had just ruined my guitar with crayons.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave Q nails it all in a kind of world-weary way that recalls Martin Landau's octopus-wrestling in 'Ed Wood'.

Virginia Beach circa '93. 3 STRONG hits called "tamales". Played a video game where you are a circus clown and have to smash things with a mallet or one of those extending boxing gloves. I never wanted to leave- I wanted to be that clown FOREVER....

i'm thinking that he's perhaps watching the dog run in tompkins square park, perhaps even trying to get in and run around with the dogs.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 16 April 2004 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

The last time I tripped I ended up walking at 5 am along the park by the river here and watching these weird patterns that formed where the canal met the river. Then we went to the BEST CEMETARY EVER and walked in the REALLY hilly super gothic part and it rained lightly. Amazing

Prove you are tripping.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 17 April 2004 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Another time took too many mushrooms cause “I cant feel nothing yet., these are crap! shrooms I thought eddie was our friend {we decide to go outside} doesn’t seem like him, the con-oh desperado whoa shepherd man sold me to oh this is where you know december champage had it in-that bad elephant is going somehwere this was sudden hand me the rocket kissinger that pole is invincible twixy. “ We get outside onto the damp gravel pavement. And I began focusing on the edges ans sides of gravel rocks and numbers started spilling out of my mouth. . Soon was ’swimming’ through the forests of maine . THEN Sat down under a giant oak with my back against it, my yew, and watched the full moon arch her way through all the beautiful darkness.

I was telling my friends “you must LEAN back against a tree whle tripping and try and do it on a clear night and watch the moon fuckers !!!!! for days afterwards. What a shmuck I was, I stopped taking acid cause I just go into pattern/texture analysis overdrive madness,. I sort of have the urge to eat shrooms and do karaoke

And a day after a trip is oddly depressing, no?

― kephm, Saturday, 17 April 2004 00:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I went to see them in NY with my mom in January and this guy who was VERY high, and loud started talking to us. He was also a big Peter Prescot fan. He told us he sold pot to Peter.

why did you stop your anecdote, luna?

And a day after a trip is oddly depressing, no?

For me, definitely. It takes me a couple days to remember who I 'really' am. The comedown is the main reason why I don't take acid anymore.

I went to a party last evening and weirdly enough someone had a bag of shrooms. I actually drank too much and left before anyone had any, let alone me. This was probably for the best as it was mostly work people at this party and one of my employees was getting paranoid just off the weed:
"I hope no one thinks I'm like [employee he replaced who was fired for being stoned at work]."
"No, man, don't worry about it, you're great."
"Because, like..."
"DUDE CHILL DUDE."

the vitamin C thing is urban myth, it may psychologically calm you down but does nothing to physically get rid of the effects. maybe vitamin b12 would help.

Being on shrooms down south and watching the spanish moss drip from the trees was a fun time. the one time I really freaked out was when I was coming down from shrooms, a friend toked me up and it sent me back up there, way back up. I made the mistake of looking into the mirror and saw my face morphing into different guys, going backwards into time to a caveman. I think they were my ancestors. I calmed down by watching M*A*S*H (written and produced by cavemen *fact*).

― Cy Twombly, Sunday, 18 April 2004 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Vitamin C helps your body return to normal, though it is true it will not "bring you down". You can take Niacin, which may bring you down a bit , but you will turn bright red and might freak out harder because you have turned bright red. (Nicain mades your blood vessels open and expel toxins--you might get away with Niacinimide (less redness)+ Valium, Klonopin, or other benzodiazepine). The trick is to know your limits and don't take too much. If you aren't familiar with a new batch just take half the first time to test it out. The only real way to come down from acid is Thorazine or some other heavy blanket that pretty much shuts EVERYTHING down. Oh, and stay away from designer drugs they are just fucking stupid.

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 18 April 2004 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

four years pass...

Had an amazing mushroom experience on Saturday. Went for a long walk on a wooded trail with my two best friends. Discovered some large rock formations and a random boardwalk overgrown with really tall grass that waved in the breeze. It was very rejuvenating. Mushrooms = classic.

We mostly WALKED with PURPOSE but then we chilled for a long time on some benches under a tree and shared special moments. Didn't see a single other person on the trail, it was great.

― Trip Maker, Monday, 18 August 2008 17:05 (seventeen years ago)

Really the best time to do mushrooms is Halloween. Context! Esp. if you are dressed as a dreamy cosmonaut and you carry around St. Michael's votives. Okay, I am not trying to RX this to anyone. Don't you hate that? When people are like: "and then you HAVE to do this"? I do. Esp when I'd just like to hear a sea of faces coming out of the fridge and they're like, "You HAVE to watch Black Belt Jones." But, the bathtub! Look at all the translucent colors oozing out of it! No Papa Bird right now!

That Halloween, anyway, we had chocolate ones w/mad vitamin C in the chocolate. Lord knows what difference that made, but they at least were not insufferable to eat. And we walked all over downtown Boise, saw jugglers, women dressed up as cockatiels, fires...some crazy, hilarious 17-year-olds we'd met the night before drove up in like a Mystery Mobile and we laughed ass off. I showed them how I could rub wax into my skin and pants and it would disappear! (The next day my pants were magically COATED IN WAX, ha.) We ended up at a friend's house! Which seemed like magic! "How did we end up at Taylorb's?" Turns out John had been guiding me.

We played dominos there, and I kicked ass, I think bcz I took like three turns per round and no one noticed. I saw a man, a tall moustached redhead, who I had never seen or heard of in my life. I thought I had invented him. We had tickets to a midnight showing of Night of the Living Dead at the downtown theater from the '30s. Some xtians from the college that were outside handed us Chick tracts and I thanked them way too profusely, hugging them and laughing that they'd "figure things out." I sat at the end of the aisle, and the redhead was to my left. He'd ask me questions, "So the rays are coming from Venus, what?" and I was nervous to answer them bcz then people wld realize I was talking to a NON-EXISTANT PERSON. It turns out he was real & we are v good buds to this day.

Ok. OK!
