A thread about psychedelics
Dimmukane:
That's why I started with them, was to see what all the hype was. Now that I've done it a few times, I do it more to get closer to my friends. I've had some outright magical experiences that wouldn't have been nearly as special if I had been experiencing them by myself. And I've had magical experiences by myself.
I'm going to try to describe how I feel psychedelics have altered my perception: I now notice a lot of the interactions people and things have and the effects these interactions have on their lives/existences. I try to take these kinds of things into account when I'm making choices that I deem important, like the situation I had last night in my other post.
There have been other changes to how I think, but I think that that is the major difference between me before and after doing LSD. It has also affected how I watch movies and listen to music, which is one of the reasons I now visit these forums.
Edit: Posting in this thread has been strangely cathartic for me. I guess I should thank somebody? Onewheel, you are RAD.
For those of you interested in reading about experiences, both good and bad, go to Erowid. It's a database on all sorts of things related to narcotics, but they have an extensive collection of experience stories. Some of them are awe-inspiring, some of them are depressing, but if you've had interest in the subject, I highly recommend visiting this site; it clears up a lot of the myths the media has spread around and also has extensive information on the laws, typical dosage/effects, etc., etc.

Mr. Bacon, read some Aldous Huxley.
Social Bacon:
Ah yes, Huxley has been on my to do list for a little while. I was thinking Brave New World, being his most prolific book, but is there anything else you'd care to recommend? I've just finished reading Fight Club, which was absolutely incredible, and I'm now trying to decide what to read next.
Elizzybeth:
I really enjoyed After Many a Summer Dies the Swan, but if you're only going to read one Huxley novel, do read Brave New World--it's so widely referenced in popular culture and modern literature that I can guarantee you're missing a lot if you haven't read it.
Regarding salvia, I know two people who've had very bad trips on it (along the "I thought I was dead" line). I know more people, however, who love it and do it somewhat regularly. As the drug rises in popularity and begins to permeate the social consciousness (Newsweek recenty ran a scary these-are-the-terrible-things-the-kids-are-doing-nowadays article on it), I can only imagine that more and more states--and countries--will begin to pass laws against it.
Cartilage Head:
The old moloko plus.
That is moloko plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom.
