1. you should watch the original Exorcist

We rewound the head-spin scene for HOURS on the VCR

[Scootaloo]

58. Not as good as my favorite:

The way the music and the gifs synch up is enough to bring me up and into it, and I haven't used psychotropics in YEARS.

3. Before I read the rest of the post, a note...

You never really want to place admissions of criminal activity online, so I hope wherever you were when you tried them, it was legal for you to do so. Anonymity, or pseudonymity, online is dubious at best, and you should always assume LEO can find out who you are, where you are, and come and get you if you document illegal actions.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

16. Heh heh.

Communications skills are extremely useful if you do poli-sci, you might want to see if you can get a communications minor. Also helpful would be a class or two on logic and rhetoric.

[LordGlenconner]

4. A thoroughly enjoyable read

And one that brings back a lot of memories.

I tried them for the first time back in the early 90s (which was a fucking awesome time to be in your teens and 20s, by the way) and had some really great experiences not unlike what you had.

The one bad trip I had was on acid, which I did about 5 or 6 times. I was house sitting for my aunt and uncle who lived in a large home with two very large, but incredibly friendly, dobermans. Long story short we took the acid, popped Woodstock into the VCR (yes, this was before DVDs) and were entranced for 3 plus hours.

What I forgot was that the dogs hadn't been let out to potty in a while and they proceeded to turn the formal dining room, with white carpeting, into a toilet. As we scrubbed and scrubbed we saw maggots in the poop (which weren't there, of course) and a whole lot of other weird shit that I fortunately don't remember. What sight that must have been.

But the rest of the time I did shooms and acid were highly enjoyable times that I remember well and with much fondness.

Congrats on your experience.

[LordGlenconner]

15. That would be an impressive sight

One of the times I did acid I got to watch a tornado (from about 2-3 miles away). Perhaps not the best time to be in an altered state but it was striking, to say the least.

But alas, my only advice to you on this is all things in moderation. Many of my friends of that time went on to do acid and shrooms dozens, and in some cases, hundreds of times, and I think it altered their personalities in varying but not altogether positive ways.

But you sound like the type of person who will know when they've gotten enough enlightenment from the experience of psychedelics.

[Zorra]

5. Many here totally get it. Thanks for sharing that.

[unblock]

6. wow that is so not for me!

i can't stand my mind being altered, that would really, really freak me out.

i tried nitrous at the dentist's once, omg, it made me cry uncontrollably for 15 minutes. the term "laughing" gas is clearly meant for other people.

it's great that you had a wonderful experience from it but i found myself trying to squelch my empathy as even that was making me uncomfortable.

[JaneyVee]

7. Mushrooms are an incredible experience.

Every time I've done them I felt closer and closer to the Earth's sacred geometry and hidden truths. Btw, psilocybin creates more neurotransmitters in your brain, opening more doors of perception.

[Stardust]

37. Are you familiar with, "Remember, Be Here Now" by Baba Ram Dass? He recounts a spiritual

journey on acid that he took with his guru (may have been Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, but I'm not sure...it's been a long time since I read it). The guru sat there with a beatific smile on his face but showed absolutely no outward indication that he was tripping, as if it were a "normal" state for him. I'd love to know if their (i.e. yogis') brain scans would indicate the same brain reorganization.

Great story, thank you for sharing that with us. You brought me back to a better time for a few moments there.

[RedCappedBandit]

8. Reminiscent of my experience.

Those emotional waves were way too intense for me, though. Once was a worthwhile experience, and once was enough. :p

Anyway, well written story. Thanks for sharing.

[RedCappedBandit]

22. Sitting down freaked me out.

Standing up and walking away also freaked me out. Walking was actually exceedingly difficult for a brief period of time.

I had a moment on a picnic bench with some girls from class who suddenly become the most intimidating creatures I've ever encountered.. from which I ran to find myself on the beach considering the timelessness of the rocks, and wondering how many other young people found themselves sitting there thinking about the same rocks and ruminating on our perpetual interconnectedness.

My friend, unfortunately, was equally freaked out and was of no help. Lol. He did steal my phone, though, preventing me from tossing it into the lake and ridding myself of the burdens of technology. That was lucky.

[Maedhros]

26. 6.5 g is A LOT. Yikes. [n/t]

[Alittleliberal]

30. Mushrooms are a whole lot of fun, but please be careful.

6.5 grams is Deff enough to overdose on. Mushrooms are benign at low doses but they get you high by literaly poisoning your body. Keep it under 5 grams to be safe next time brotha!

[nomorenomore08]

75. 6.5 grams? You're braver than I am. I never had more than an "eighth" (3.5).

One time almost a decade ago, when I was still at UC Santa Cruz, a friend and I took an eighth each of some really potent ones, then smoked a fat blunt out in the woods. We wound up lying on a hillside as the sun was going down, and as the light between the trees disappeared, it was like the universe condensing to a point, and then blinking out of existence. One of the most intense trips I've ever had for sure.

[applegrove]

9. I hear the active ingredient does great stuff to the mind of people

who are completely intolerant of others. They get softer for a year after they take them. The active ingredient is being studied as we speak.

[reflection]

18. I have been trying for months to find some of these

and have come up zeroes. Thank you for sharing your story. Very enlightening.

Legal note: This post is not true and should be considered for entertainment purposes only.

[bunnies]

23. You must read: The Psychedelic Experience by Timothy Leary

for entertainment purposes only.

[RadiationTherapy]

24. There is also a very interesting audio version by him.

[bunnies]

25. I had no idea such a thing existed.

Thank you! Cant wait to check it out.

[misterhighwasted]

27. 1972.. Psilocybin taught me to laugh at myself, & the

Stick lying on the ground next to my friend's foot. And the foot was humorous also btw.
Took a full day to straighten my face back to normal after that epiphany.

[malokvale77]

28. April, 1969 - Dallas, Texas

Jimi Hendrix concert.

"Have you ever been experienced?
Well I have."

[misterhighwasted]

31. Good Gawd malokvale77 !!

Hendrix in '69..& psilocybin??
pure nirvana my friend..

[malokvale77]

36. It was good, my friend

The opening band was Fat Mattress and then Chicago Transit Authority. Hendrix was truly phenomenal.

How have you been?

[misterhighwasted]

39. Ahh I'm having flashbacks to those 'Freebird-like' days of our youth.

Wouldn't trade them for any generation.

Some of those concerts I remember going to & leaving but everything in between is a big fat blank. duh.
Fine days indeed.

------
Am doing quite well & thanks for asking.
Recovering from a grueling Wendy Davis campaign.
I need to see a chiropractor soon...lol
I loved every minute of it..not so much the end but I walk away with many friends & a great experience.

Hope you are faring well these days also.
Here's wishing you peaceful days.

[malokvale77]

42. Those days are why I survive today.

I know a wonderful chiropractor. He helped me recover from a major car crash some years ago.

PM me if you would like his name.

I am faring quite well in spite of our devastating losses.

I celebrated my birthday with my family today. They all assured me that they are pleased I am still alive. LOL

[misterhighwasted]

43. Aww..***HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU***

Enjoy!

[malokvale77]

47. Thank you misterhighwasted

I certainly have enjoyed my day.

I'm just about ready to take my blissful ass off to bed.

back at ya. I've had a few.

[nomorenomore08]

77. Interestingly, the one show I remember tripping at was the Judas Priest "farewell" tour in 2011.

[IveWornAHundredPants]

32. Saw the Pixies on mushrooms once.

Not exactly Hendrix, but a really marvelous experience nevertheless.

Edited to add: I was shrooming, not the Pixies. As far as I know, anyway.

[Logical]

33. I so bad want to use LSD before I die. But hard to get it anymore. Too much fake crap nt

[Logical]

55. Maybe I'll have to head to another country for that. Nt

[Logical]

66. And here is the reason you can't get it anymore.....

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Leonard_Pickard

William Leonard Pickard (born October 21, 1945 in Mill Valley, California) is one of two people convicted in the largest lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) manufacturing case in history. In 2000, while moving their LSD laboratory, Pickard and Clyde Apperson were pulled over while driving a Ryder rental truck and a follow car. The laboratory had been at a renovated Atlas-E missile silo near Wamego, Kansas but the two men had never actually produced LSD there. One of the men intricately involved in the case but not charged due to his cooperation, Gordon Todd Skinner, owned the property where the laboratory was located; he approached the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) about working for them. According to court testimony, they would produce a kilogram of LSD approximately every five weeks. The U.S. government contends that following their arrest there was a 90% drop in the availability of LSD worldwide.[1][2]

[Logical]

68. I understand.....

The precursor chemicals are too hard to obtain now. They have restricted their sales so much that it's almost impossible to get a hold of them.

I don't know a lot about it but that's just what I've been told by various people.

[Logical]

71. If you find some IM me! :-) Nt

[BlueJazz]

34. Love the post. When I was in a band and also was under the "spell" I tended to do strange things.

(Anybody who has played an instrument will understand what's next)>

My first time, I was playing (on Piano), our band did some Steely Dan...I started playing my "Own" Chords...
Like C C# F G A# B C D F# G#..to me it sounded very deep and important by the beautiful dissonance.
After the song the other members crawled my ass and said it sounded like a flock of Crows being run over by a Train.

..So much for Art.

[misterhighwasted]

40. Ha,that's a funny story BlueJazz. I know I've sat in the audience thru one of those musicians spells

Easy to just lose yourself in such a moment.

[m-lekktor]

35. I used to buy them when in Amsterdam in the little tubs

like fast food french fries come in at the "smart shops" since they were legal then (probably still are, it's been a few years). i would put them in peanut butter sandwichs. they actually got me too high and i got tired of doing them. The guy at the store told me to eat half a little tub of them and i think that was too much and he was just trying to fuck with me because I am an American.

[SomethingFishy]

70. Spaghetti sauce works great for covering up the taste..

I hate the taste of raw magic shrooms.. I just mix them in some spaghetti sauce..Prego.. I'm told peanut butter works well too, I'm allergic to nuts though..

Smoothies are good too. We used to fill a blender with ice, a can of frozen fruit juice, some water(vodka also works but I'm not a drinker) and the shrooms.. If the shrooms are good no matter what flavor the juice is the concoction will always come out purple. We used to call it "Purple Stuff"... Happy Trails..

[m-lekktor]

83. i forget specifics' i was in amsterdam frequently off and on from 2003 to 2004

my sister and her family lived there at the time and she would send me tickets to come visit quite often (her and her husband had tons of frequent flyer miles from always travelling so they sent tickets). anyway there were quite a few shrooms in a tub but i forget how many. it is a tub like you would get french fries in at one of those hotdog kiosk stands in a park or outside a sporting event. these shrooms were plump and juicy compared to the ones i would see people do in the states which were always all dried out. you had a variety to pick from in the stores in Amsterdam from various countries like mexico or nepal, or wherever. i had very little experience doing them stateside. it seems like people only ate a few dried out and shriveled shrooms in the states compared to the amount i ate when in amsterdam. the highs were the most intense highs i ever had on a hallucinogen but i was always out in a dance club or wandering around the city which probably wasn't the right atmosphere for that intense a buzz. i ended up throwing a tub of them away before coming back to the states because i didn't want to leave them in my sisters refrigerator with my young niece and nephew around. nobody else around wanted to do them either. also the ecstasy , tho illegal there, was prevalent and supercheap, holy CRAP was it cheap compared to the states. i had local friends who knew people. anyway those were the days, now i rarely even smoke pot!! haha.

i forgot to mention that the peanut butter sandwiches worked for me because i was eating them in public while wandering. if one is sitting in the privacy of a home maybe there is a better food if one doesn't care for the taste.

[hunter]

38. Sigh. I have to take meds to prevent my mind from going wonky.

Prescription meds keep me somewhat functional in this reality, but have annoying side effects. The numerous "self medications" I've tried (mostly when I was a young man) are hardly any better.

It used to irritate me greatly when people thought I was tripping-with-chemical-assistance when I wasn't, most especially when cops or medical people asked me what kind of drugs I'd taken. Nope, sorry, this is one of my ordinary off-my-meds realities. Yes, I know my feet are bleeding. I must have forgot my shoes. So?

The suckiest thing about my personal brand of mental illness is that when I drift off track the very first thing that flies out the window is my ability to judge my own mental state.

I don't tend to lose that when I partake of "recreational" mind-altering chemicals.

[misterhighwasted]

41. Well glad to have you here with us hunter. We're all living in the world, best we can.

Be happy.

[Beringia]

48. very interesting

Thanks for sharing.

Once I was with my sister and a coworker of hers. They smoked some pot and I didn't. Then they went into the funny jokes and silliness and I was right there with them, like I had smoked pot too. I think I am always seeing things "as if on drugs".

Also I wondered, if you were going to go into engineering and then had the shrooms and wanted to help the planet, I wondered if that were similar to how men often close off their more intuitive side, but then the shrooms opened you up again.

I had tried my hand at painting for a long time, but finally realized I was not going to sell any of it. Later I had a dream that told me animal rights would be a good path for me. I listen very closely to my dreams. I felt it gave me a purpose too.

[bravenak]

61. I completely understand you.

It is a mind opening experience. I understand the point of spirit journeys now, the smallness of the world and the connections that humans have to each other and the universe.

Different types of acid do it too in different ways. DOC is a humdinger and LSD is the best one to open your mind and kill your Ego and biases.

[bravenak]

65. Thanks for posting it.

It was great.

[mahina]

81. ahhh never mind

Bye now

[nomorenomore08]

78. I've had a good few dozen 'schroom trips over the years, and about 10 on acid.

Most of these, not surprisingly, were when I was at college ('03-'07). Although I have had some good trips in the last 2-3 years, and I'm certainly open to it in the future.

[Warpy]

84. All psychedelics are transformative in one way or another

and that's why the DEA has them on Schedule 1, they're dangerous to the PTB.

[Enthusiast]

85. +1

[Le Taz Hot]

86. Had my first hit of acid

in 1969 and have loved psychedelics ever since. My favorite was always mescaline but you can't find it anymore. Every now and again I run across some 'shrooms but for some reason, my stomach can't take them now -- I get horribly nauseous for some reason. But if I could ever find some acid, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

[nomorenomore08]

87. AFAIK you can still purchase dried San Pedro cactus online. Though I wouldn't know where exactly.

San Pedro, in case you're not aware, is one of the two mescaline-containing types along with the peyote cactus.
