A thread about psychedelics
KharBevNor:
That's pretty crazy wizard. Personally, with Salvia, I have never got to that stage where you are no longer aware what is real and what is not, which is somewhere I've only been once, with the aforementioned Dramamine.
Also, salvia also actually tends to make me quite giggly. It also makes me spit a lot.

second'd.
in all honesty i am basically terrified of drugs. mostly i smoked a lot of pot as a teenager but have also done mushrooms, pcp and salvia at various points. salvia made me think there were six of me, simultaneously, in six different rooms. all of them weren't very good experiences so i've sort of just quit altogether but i do wish more people could take the attitude where just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean no one else should be allowed to. i mean, i smoke which is basically the biggest waste of money and thousands of times worse for you than any psychedelic drug could ever be. most of my fear of drugs comes from the fact that i'm the type of person who really doesn't cope well when i can't control what's happening around me but obviously lots of people can. i guess this whole post is kind of preaching to the choir since it seems most people here would agree but it's just one of those things i find to be really, really obvious and it kind of baffles me when other people don't see it.

My experiences have been mostly positive. I feel that I've only had one experience that if it had gone wrong, would've been a 'bad trip', though.
I smoke pot maybe twice a week (now that school's out, while it's on, maybe twice a month if I was lucky). I've only ever done E, P. Cubensis and LSD outside of that.
I started with the P. Cubensis, with 4 other people and a friend who was dating one of the 4 (she has epilepsy, so she only does E from time to time). We began by watching The Magical Mystery Tour, which basically put me into a state of ego loss. At one point I think the picture on the screen extended out so that it was all I could see (the General who talks in gibberish part). At another point I kept asking the sober girl if I was breathing because I couldn't tell. It was interesting watching everything be. The tan shag carpet was flowing in waves, I laid under the Christmas tree and thought I was in space. I kept looking at the clock, but at some point it appeared as if it was broken (the lines the numbers were made out of were in all the wrong places), so I stopped watching. The aforementioned girl started drawing highlighter tattoos on one of my friends in a blacklit room, and when the dragon on his chest started to breathe fire I decided to go watch TV. A lot of other stuff happened involving mirrors and an empty glass, but it would take a while to type it all out. It was the most powerful of the experiences I've had. I never felt like I learned anything from it, though. I haven't had any shrooms since, but I'm open to doing it again with a smaller dose (everybody had 1/10 of an oz.)
I did some very strange E once. I had a white superman that gave me a small stomachache and a green lady that had me loving everything for about 2 hours. Endo story.
I have done LSD several times (I think 10), though. I tend to take it in the evening, usually after 4, and just kinda relax with friends who are also doing it. I've seen some crazy stuff, but I never felt like that was the point. I always feel like I've learned something afterwards, but that I can never put words to what it was. However, I think that as a side effect, whenever I get really stoned I have mild flashbacks. There's a lot to those experiences that are important, but I have trouble communicating those things because I find that I'm always concentrating on each individual moment of the trip as it comes, and never have time to formulate ideas from those moments.
I do think that, for whatever reason, it has made me far better at reading people. Last night I turned down a definite chance at losing my virginity because I knew that at some point in the future I was going to dump her and it wouldn't be pretty and possibly wreck the circle of friends that I have. Before I had done LSD (and I do think it was the LSD), I wouldn't have turned her down because I would've been too excited at having that chance. I guess the acid also helped me realize that personal gain isn't everything, as well. I'm beating myself up for it a little today, but I still think it was for the best.
I probably have more to talk about in this subject, but I don't want to write a book. I'll just finish by saying I'm probably gonna do something this summer.
And also, Starscape is tonight. I won't be going, but it's basically Baltimore's biggest rave, you can get practically anything you want there. I think you can buy tickets at the gate for 65$.

From all the tripping experiences I've heard people talk about, the way that it changed them in a way they can't explain and how it altered their perception of the world. To me this sounds like reading a really good book, but maybe I'm just a literature junkie, who knows, I thought I'd just throw it out.
Personally I've never used psychedelics, though I am interested in them. I've had one chance in the past to do shrooms but I chose not to because it would have meant leaving one person sober and the other 4 tripping, which I would have felt bad about. Psychs do freak me out a bit though and I don't think I'd ever do them regularly, I'm just looking for a chance to experience the feelings.

It's like the best movie and tv show you ever watched all rolled into one night of skullfuckery and a greater understanding.
This is the reason I do it, it's so much fun and amazing alot of the time.
