How does taking acid change you?

[Cr33pin]

The most visual trip I had was on a Halloween. Me and a buddy went to a tripping party and I bought two drops of liquid acid... the guy was squirting it out of a Visine eye dropper into our mouths and was very generous. They gave these glow in the dark vampire teeth to everyone at the party so I poped them in m mouth and went about living my life. Sometime later I go in the bathroom to take a wizz and look in the mirror and I start to transform into a werewolf. I stare in amazement until my brain can't handle it any more and look away real fast. Then I take a deep breath prepare myself and stare again... my ears get pointy, my mouth starts to get long, my eye brows scowl and I begin to grow hair all over my face and I have to turn my head and look away... I find it to be one of the most bizarre and entertaining things so I stay in the bathroom for a hour or so just looking in the mirror, then freaking out and turning my head when it got to real.

Also when I did pee there was a pube on the toilet and it start dancing like a snake when one of those guys plays the flute and the snake dances up from the basket. I thought it was pretty cool... later that night I returned to pee again and noticed the pube was gone. This saddened me... so I plucked one of my pubes and stuck it on the toilet and it started dancing and I was happy again.

True Story

Also to the fella above that mentioned smoking Mary Jane when tripping. It certainly helps, I remember the first time I did acid I thought I got robbed cause I didn't really have any visuals about a hour after taking the tabs. So I drove down in the holler (Redneck AF) and smoked a few bowl packs with my friends. When I was driving out of the holler I took a turn and my hand on the steering wheel stayed where it was but then another arm came out of my elbow and turned as I turned the wheel.. I was like Whoa, so I took the hand off the wheel and held it up and there was two arms and hands coming from my elbow. I calmly said to my friends once we hit the end of this road someone else should drive. Then I remember we went to my boys house like 15 mins away and I sat in the back of the car and when I looked out the window it felt like I was watching all the scenery go by like I was in a cartoon. Then later that night me and a buddy walked to under a overpass bridge above the interstate close to his house. We sat under the bridge and watched the cars go by, then we walked down beside the interstate an would hide when a car would go by. Before you know it we were pretty much standing in the interstate yelling when cars went by...... (not the brightest thing, but we were young and on drugs)

Life is good now.. I can't complain really. But life will never be as wild or fun as it was during my drugs, sex, and rock and roll youth.

If you're keen on psychedelic experiences that "change you", I'd take a look at ayahuasca opportunities in Peru. Essentially it's DMT except in liquid form mixed with some herbs. Lasts a fair amount longer, but the onset is a bit more gradual than DMT's rocket ship. Never had it but it's generally regarded highly for 'self-development purposes' and what not. Some people with social anxiety claim to be anxiety-free afterwards, it has some success with heroin and alcohol addiction treatment, etc.

I've taken a fair share of psychs back when I didn't live in countries that'd fuck me royally for having them. I never went for high doses, so I've never really had a life changing experience. Honestly, MDMA with a close friend and the ensuing four hour conversation has probably been more "life changing" than any psych I've had.

Basically Ayahuasca is DMT with an MAOI. A similar effect can be achieved with green tea (weak MAOI effects) and DMT.

I got a bit of the "spice" and i'm a bit nervous to go balls deep. The level 5 trip stuff sounds too intense. Even though i've done acid, shrooms, salvia, and 2ci.

Two things:

1) Get a trip sitter. It's only 10 minutes, but I'd say if you're nervous about it and it's your first time, you might as well. Things can also happen under ten minutes when you're that strongly intoxicated.

2) Have you considered making it into changa? It mellows it down a bit and makes it into a less 'harsh' trip, or so people say. I've had both but it's been a long long time -- I do remember preferring the changa though.

Well worth a try. Its life changing depending on who you trip with and where. Preferably like minded individuals around nature

Took my first psychedelic at age 12 in 1967 - and have used all of the psychedelics extensively throughout my life. Proper set & setting are a MUST, and for me - psilocybin has been the most effective for achieving a transcendent experience.

I had a year when I was 21 where I took a ton of drugs, primarily non-hallucinogenic stimulants (amphetamine, coke) but I also tried LSD once, psilocybe mushrooms at least a handful of times plus some moderately hallucinogenic variants of ecstasy on many occasions.

It's extremely difficult to describe the sensation to someone who hasn't taken drugs - and since countless authors have done it much better, though still thoroughly inadequate job, than I could ever hope for, I'm not going to bother attempting descriptive details of my trips.
Let's just say that at least for me all the monumental feelings of sensory openness, momentary insights and just plain weirdness I felt while it lasted, were completely irrelevant and useless when the drugs had worn off and I was left with at most regular, "flat" memories of some of the weird sensory distortions I had experienced.

My opinion on hard drugs these days (excluding the ones that get you physically addicted very quickly, I quit everything I took from one day to the next with some weeks of tiredness being about the worst side effects) is that I don't think there's usually any harm in trying (with the usual safety caveats), but the problem of course is that some people waste too much of their youth getting high, and a few people continue for years or decades after that.
Of all the guys and girls I was taking drugs with 2-4 days per week back then, I was about the only one who would openly admit I was a fucking addict, and while it was fun until it wasn't (that's when I quit, and also had to stop seeing most of my friends) it had a tremendously temporarily negative impact on several other areas of my life (school, diet, exercise, money, my ability to walk up two flights of stairs without needing a break).

This video is more relevant and better discussed on this thread then the dark peacock thread.

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner. I ended up trying it and it uhh, changed my life. Absolutely mind blowing experience. I still have some left, i'd like to get some changa and spend more time in hyper space. All of my previous psychedelic trips weren't anywhere close to preparing me for the things I saw.

I had a trip sitter which definitely helped.

I don't do drugs.

But I'm curious if taking acid changes your outlook on life?

Steve Jobs did acid just once - and he said it changed his life.

So - with that in mind - in what way does taking acid change your outlook on life? Or is it more that you develop an inner calm which makes you less stressed out about day to day life and question the motives of society?

I've been fascinated with something called adrenochrome recently. It seems that adrenaline turns pink and then red when its oxidized and becomes a hallucinogen(adrenaline is a treatment for asthma). Interestingly drugs that make you hallucinate havea very similar chemistry. I was suprised in mathematics how many great mathematicians made amazing contributions when they were the most ill even near death. Riemann is an excellent example of this I believe adrenochrome is to blame. In fact I suspect there may be an evolutionary role in it. As you become stressed you produce adrenaline, if you are too stressed for too long, clearly you need a better method to get out of your current problem, so adrenochrome kicks in. Note there is kind of a progression of attitude changes while people become progressively more stressed. Men exhibit narcissism frist then schizophrenic behavior later. Women at first become more empathetic and sexual(this is why negging narcissistic hot women is so effective), then too schizo.

Taking LSD was one of the most important things I have done, and the amount of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement that came from it would have been very difficult, but not impossible, to achieve via meditation or yoga. Is is not a drug for everyone, as it is a drug that takes you to your inner self. It liberates, instead of enslaving you.

Most people have too many shit in their life and too many problems to take a substance that will last 12 hours and make them remember if they got bullied as kids. Alcohol and other drugs to cloud the mind are to forget. But, if you are more or less in peace with yourself and want to have a nice trip, I recommend it.

If possible, buy a cheap uv light, the ones used to detect fake bills. Pure LSD glows in dark uv light, and better check out the blots right away with the dealer to see if he is selling you pure product or many similar drugs, like n-bomb or lsa.

Haha, that's the truth.

I doubt there's anything that can prepare someone for DMT. The traditional psychedelics are more or less on the same level as each other in terms of intensity and give you a chance to adjust to a new frame of mind but DMT is really in the upper echelon of it's own league.

I broke-through on it about 7 years ago and I can still say to this day that it fundamentally changed my perspective on everything.

One of my side hobbies is astrology and the mythological underpinnings that determine how the energy of the "planets" play against each other.

I found that if you have an accurate birth time and location you can sort of ball park the type of experience your psychedelic trip will have by the planetary transits at the time in space.

The DMT trips in particular had a definite theme to them and the entities I saw were in line with the transits I had.

I don't do drugs.

I'm of the belief that there are multiple dimensions and entities that reside in them. The 4th dimension is occupied by entities that have evolved into it and are very much aware of our environment as well. However they can only influence our environment very subtly either through dreams or other natural phenomena.

The guy who made the periodic table of elements saw it organized to him in a dream. When he woke up, he immediately wrote it done so he wouldn't forget. I've said it in other threads, but I hope that one day science and spiritualism will meet and put their differences to rest.

Tried some around a month ago at a Spring beach party, mentally found it pretty draining and hard to switch off but the thoughts I had and sounds heard while on it were pretty amazing.

 

[VincentVinturi]

Salvia Divinorum extract might be the craziest shit I've ever tried.

I'm not sure that it had any therapeutic value but it was as far out as I've ever been.

 

[donn]

I've never tried any of it, but curious about DMT and LSD. LSD sounds too stressful cause the trip is too long and you can't get out of it if you panic. DMT is less than 20 min(from what I've seen in a documentary) so is it better for a beginner? anyway is this legal somewhere like Netherlands? how can you be sure it's the real thing?

 

[Isaac Jordan]

I'd HIGHLY recommend micro-dosing acid prior to taking a full tab, especially if you don't have much experience with mind-altering substances. (You can do something similar with shrooms as well.)

Taking a half or quarter tab (assuming you can't get liquid) as opposed to a whole dose will help familiarize you with the drug and its effects, and won't require the use of a sitter (you also won't need to worry about devoting 8-12 hours to being away from other people/society). Being comfortable with the come-up and general feelings the drug provides will also help prevent you from freaking out when you finally do take a full dose at once.

 

[malakaix]

That may be the case, however DMT is ten-fold more intense. If your unfamiliar with the psychedelic mind-state it could send you into a panic. A small dose of LSD is probably the best introduction because of all the psychedelics it's the most analytical.

I'm forever grateful for the experience I've had with DMT in the past.. but I don't think I could handle another break-through dose. It's just too intense. When you come into contact with the void as it's commonly referred to and the emptiness is mirrored back as a reflection of you - the paradoxical nature of self becomes realized and duality collapses into an infinite point in time. You are nothing and everything simultaneously, and through consequence of this, Alone. One. Infinite.

Beyond that it's just impossible to describe, language is to primitive to encapsulate the complexity.. I suppose Terrance Mckenna was the best at describing it but even he struggled to articulate the strangeness.

Doing acid changes you in a way where you gain a very strong level of creative thought.

It has it's flaws, and I will admit there were very dark phrases in my life when I took acid. But like overall, it made me very fucking creative. For example: I can show you my logo design process for this high-end streetwear type of company (In another thread!).

But long story short, after you take acid years later you will feel your creative side become enhanced because your was opened to a very cool experience.

This is a drug I would suggest using only once. And if you do use it frequently, be fucking smart. This drug isn't weed or alcohol bad, this drug can harm you if you keep a constant use of it.

At the very least, it should glow under UV light.
