First, LSD and ACID are the same thing. Second, I
recommend not doing this drug. As someone who has
taken practically every drug available that produces
some sort of high, LSD has the potential to be mentally
devistating.
That said, if you feel you are mentally able to withstand
being torn from all convention mooring, I'll give you this
advice.
Do some research at a local library. Before I did lsd for
the first time, I went to the Medical School library at
a local university. Find out about what is known about
lsd's interaction with the brain. Then, read some of
the published accounts documenting "trip." Admittedly,
these are a bit fanciful....pink elephants and such.
But, I would caution you against thinking that this
sort of thing won't happen. If it's going to happen,
it may be quite disturbing and will usually happen
the first time.
Another warning: Don't do this drug alone. What I mean
is have a close friend (someone you really trust) standing
by to give you aid and comfort. Having some Valium handy
woudn't be a bad idea. A "good" situation would be a group
of 3 or 4 with one person straight.
The thing is, everyone wants to fly. Just take my advice
and try to fly from the ground up rather than the other
way around.
Where are you planning on getting the lsd? Someone you
trust? Someone who has done some from this particular
batch? I suggest it! lsd can easily vary in strength.
Let me give you an example. My first time, I got the lsd
from a friend who was in Med school. He made it himself.
He had done so several times. Well, he screwed it up!
He measured wrong. Instead of measuring out 100 microgram
doses, he was ten times off -- 1000 micrograms! I took
the whole thing. I was on another planet for 35 hours.
I'm not joking. This is true. I tried to describe the
experience to another friend, an experienced user, who
didn't really believe I was high and who was going to take
it next. He took it anyway. This is what happened.
We're sitting around listening to Beethoven. He has the
headphones on because he wants to hear every note (a common
request from people on lsd). The rest of us are talking.
I happen to look at him and notice that he is quickly
turning ghostly white in the face. He jaw slackens, then
he suddenly tears the headphones from his ears and throws
them across the room hitting a lamp. These are BIG headphones.
You can imagine what happens to the lamp. We calm him
down. He's fine. Two days later, he describes the following:
He's listening to Beethoven and everything is fine. He notices
that we're talking and has the impression we're talking about
him. Just after that he hears a small tick in the recording
(sorry, this was 1972 and there were no CDs). As he continues
to listen and watch us talk, the tick in the recording becomes
a real tick (the insect). It crawls into his ear from the
headphone and starts through his eardrum. (This is when he
rips off the headphones.) His final description of the experience
was comparing his sanity to holding onto a palm tree in a
hurricane and being whipped back and forth.
Have any questions?
