acid

its all connected man... by light!

i was always more in it for the extrapolated jokes than the metaphysics.

last time i did acid i ended up in a clearing with hundreds of fireflies, it was something being completely out of my head like that.

then the next morning i'm home, coming down badly, watching kids waiting for the schoolbus and i felt horrible. like ~lost innocence~, what have i become horrible. it was one of the saddest mornings of my life.

~cicle of lyfe~

this is because the one chemist who can synthesize it in the US got busted I think

I've never done acid but I'm also the kind of guy who retreats into that little tiny zone of self-awareness when superdrunk and gets really anxious, I feel I would react badly to acid

idk psychedelics just never appealed to me

I also don't like roller coasters

p sure that turned out to be an urban legend the thing about the chemist

no way I read it on the internet facebook

but facebook...is us

there was a slate article abt it

my friends were on tour in austin a couple years ago and this guy gave them a vile of liquid acid and told them next time they came through hed give them a bucket and that he made it, i did some on that nye, p sweet hadnt taken acid sine i was a teen

first time i did it i felt for sure i was going insane and that i would remain forever in this state. started picturing my mom at the hospital sobbing while i drooled uncontrollably in a straight jacket. then my friends started juggling i was like whoa, juggling is cool.

ha classic, once while we were tripping one of my friends was like 'there was this guy who was tripping and someone threw a football and it hit him in the head and he never stopped' then we all thought deeply abt how intense that would be, i recall for some reason i was imagining it taking place in harvard yard

so that explains the last 4 years of leadership this country has had

the football was the recession

do u see

from now on whenever laginfinityn exhorts us to think about it i'm going to really think about it.

l-r: lag∞n, the whole undifferentiated human mass, stars, consciousness, existence, a turkey

i have never tried acid, largely because no one's ever offered me any

I knew someone who said meth gave him the best visuals. I was...wary.

I would do acid with, like, rrrobyn.

Maybe a couple of other people. Not a long list, though.

Three or four times between 18 and mid-20s. Ancient history. When I pulled out The Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus one day, though, it still sounded fine.

God damn want this now. Doesn't the internet sell it somewhere?

in my old hometown strangers who asked questions like that were thought to be a narc and in the morning they discovered someone had snuck into their yard overnight and set fire to their 250cc motorbike.

i've only done it twice for some reason (but have done mushrooms more) and it's been a long time but i think i'm going to do it this summer again.

thread makes me want to try tbh

^^^ this, but also thread makes me kind of scared.

God damn want a 250cc motorbike now.

we should schedule a group trip for that worldwide FAP that keeps coming up

TMI taking a page from Z-Ro today....

b_g hook me up dude?

I only did it a couple times, and that was almost 20 years ago.

The first time was in high school, during the local university's winter carnival where they always showed a double feature at the student theater of Heavy Metal and The Wall. That started out fine but became rather unpleasant, so my friends and I left and sort of roamed around campus for a while. Part of the fun of winter carnival is that student groups build giant snow statues, often of monsters folklore characters or cartoon characters, stuff like that, and seeing 30 foot tall Paul Bunyans and shit made out of snow was pretty horrifying. I remember getting dropped off at home somehow and wondering why I could not fall asleep.

A couple years later we all dropped while playing Trivial Pursuit and the game kind of turned to shit after that. I remember taking a shower for like 45 minutes, then ending up at a cabin way out in the woods. We went to a bar that had a live cougar in a cage to buy beer, and I ended up drinking like 20 beers and everyone was pissed at me - I did not realize that acid allowed one to consume so much alcohol with so few repercussions. Anyway I passed out and woke up at like 6 in the morning with a toilet seat placed around my neck, with two dudes eating plain boiled macaroni noodles out of a pot staring at me. One of them was wearing a dress; I have no idea where the dress came from as there were no women there.

The best time was at a party on Lake Superior and was pretty great - me and five other people were playing in the water, making shit out of driftwood, talking about how everyone in the world was either a Ren or a Stimpy (lol 90s) and, then we realized that everyone else was gone or passed out, and as we approached a car sitting in the middle of a bunch of sand dunes we found that the trunk had a cooler full of jello shots. Somehow at that moment a bluegrass song came on the tape player and we all had a hoedown ate jello shots, and continued to roam around in a bunch of mine ruins.

The last time was on a trip to Florida, where I was on the shore of the Atlantic ocean for the first time. I was standing in the waves up to my knees thinking HOLY FUCK ENGLAND IS OVER THERE, AND AFRICA IS THAT WAY, DO YOU REALIZE, FUCKING _AFRICA_ while my friend Ike gathered up a massive pile of flotsam and jetsam to build a huge monolith of some sort. We went back to the condo where a bunch of people were staying and I was convinced that I was in Vietnam, like in the last half of Full Metal Jacket, though this was not a bad thing at all.

And that was it, I'm done, never again.

Fun at the time but honestly just too much work.

Done it twice, I highly recommend it.

supposedly steve jobs was particularly scornful of ppl who'd never tripped, as opposed to the standard scornful

i always liked what alan watts said about psychedelics - "when you get the message, hang up the phone"

OTM truth bomb... Never felt a great need to try again after a handful of times in my 30s - not from any negative experiences (quite the opposite), but I haven't felt a great need to disassociate since then. Also, sources have dried up.

As with any kind of inductive tool it helps to have a gut feeling about where you want to go. You can't just take and look for the pretty lights, you have to allow things to just wash over you and happen. Set and setting are important, but having the proper emotional/psychological calibration (for lack of a better description) is vital. If you're a control freak in reality, you going to have problems in surreality, and if you're using to seek some sort of cosmic truth you may be disappointed. You're peeking into the mind's assembly code and if you're dissatisfied with the core dump, you'll end up like Syd Barrett and using and using and using until you think you're an orange.

Having said that... I remember these events (whether or not they occurred is another story):
- Sitting in a meadow in Yosemite Valley and feeling (like it was braille) the fractal mathematics embedded in every plant and tree. Insects were miniature complex-system spaceships. Touching a granite cliff-face was like feeling the anatomy of the earth and being plugged into the central core.
- Looking at the night sky through a telescope is like looking at a painting and seeing the brush strokes of the Universe and the three dimensional layer to the solar system, our galaxy, and our galaxy's neighbors.
- Driving over Sonora Pass was an exercise in Dr. Seuss navigation. The road went vertical, upside down, through loops, and into the most absurd geometries imaginable. Not once was I unsafe or out of control because I knew that if I stayed on the road I'd be OK.
- Forget the music and movies, if you're using go to a restaurant you like and fire up those other senses you've been ignoring. A simple steak dinner w/fresh ingredients was one of the best meals I've EVER had. HFS those tomatoes from the garden...
- 2001: A Space Odyssey is close, but superfluous if you're already there. Best movie experience was watching Star Trek: Generations and riding along as the Enterprise D's saucer section crashes.
- Never was able to play guitar along with Playing With Fire or Lazer Guided Melodies. The guitar strings resonated too much with all the sound that was bouncing around and it was ridiculous to mess with perfection anyway.

This.

I've only ever done it twice, basically because it is impossible to get hold of. It was fun, although the 2nd time was at Glasto and that was a bit unsettling for a bit until I got used to it.

Had mushrooms quite a few times though.

It is perhaps telling that this thread has the most floral, long winded stories :)

Its rly easy for me to get stuff here fwiw, i didnt realise it was impossibly hard elsewhere. I... liked and hated it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.
