Is this in any way close or reminiscent of the real experience? Inquiring minds wish to know. Not that I'm planning to indulge, but damn, it's fun to be a spectator.

my chemistry teacher gave me a detention the last time i did it.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 13:26 (twenty-one years ago)

shall we set up an experiment?! you bring the acid, and the materails, and the protective stuff, and i'll bring...?
heck why dont you bring everything!
it could still be fun though!

― gaol clichy (clichy), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

now you come to mention it, my sister had to go to casualty due to her spilling acid on her hand at school!

― gaol clichy (clichy), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

seriously though i doubt it'd be that much fun to be a spectator... i mean - instead of the pretty colours and bears bouncing on a field you get to see loads of people freaking out in your room.

mmm my idea of fun!

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I would say it could be slightly unnerving to be a spectator to a group of ppl on acid! Apart from the fact you just will NOT get the joke that they are laughing at!!

apparently one time on acid i kept ranting and ranting very angrily about rutherford b. hayes and A YEAR LATER was the 2000 election imbroglio so obv. lsd = psychic powers

wow, you know what WOULD be great?

Or maybe TRIP-BROTHER, last person to freak and run out of the trip-brother house is the winner.

oh wait.. he actually did and i'm a nob. sorry.

I sometimes wonder if people think that simply freaky = similar to LSD experience, which is entirely not the case.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 14:45 (twenty-one years ago)

What I meant was, I wonder how many folks who haven't tried LSD believe every LSD experience is the same.

Francis, my lsd experiences were more about thoughts and emotions, but visually approached the "lights in the forest" of Larry Carlson. The visuals were just value added, but the feelings were way to intense to describe and each lsd experience was different.

It's true, everyone's LSD episodes will be very different, but I believe that there are certain characteristics of the experience that tend to be common. For instance, often in movies they'll use fish-eye lenses and other tricks to depict a certain kind of visual distortion. That was very much an element of my own experiences, everything getting all twisty just like that.

― Dan I., Tuesday, 2 March 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I would always see the alphabet in the font from the front cover of Mercury Rev's "Boces" behind everything. And my eye always felt like chicken.

My first LSD-induced hallucination was tactile (I hope that's the right word)...when I closed my eyes I had an utterly convincing sensation of spaghetti coming out of my nose.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Hmmm...I can understand how the funny wacked out shit becomes second nature and can be potentially overshadowed by the heightened sense of emotional awareness. I dunno if I would find sensorial vulnerability as appealing as a merely trippy, ridiculous, and over-the-top visual exp. I know mushies are probably better for that type of deal but I've heard some nasty, scary crap. I just tend to find "acid-influenced" art really neat, which has gotten me curious, is all. W33d makes me hallucinate mildly though, and it's been known to induce strong paranoia in me br4n3...so

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Bottom line is I freak out easily...being a sensitive duder, I dunno if I could t(a)olerate much...well, you see where I'm going wit dees

If you're scared to try acid, don't. The "set and setting" thing is a big deal - if you're scared to start with, it will not be pleasant.

You could try something where you can alter the dosage to some extent - a small amount of mushrooms, which will give you light visuals and some heaviness, but go away in a few hours (and little chance of freaking out).

Totally boring for anyone else first trip story -

My first hallucinogen experience period was three hits of liquid acid in quick succession. I was wandering around my friend's apartment complex just barely tripping, he thought he saw a slug, suddenly the big rocks became giant slugs, my trip started in earnest. It varied between 'scared shitless' (giant slugs, little skulls crunching in my mouth and in my orange juice, thinking I would never stop tripping) and "oh my god this is the most wonderful thing I've ever seen/experienced."

These little red threads from the ceiling to the floor and side to side, so it made like a little web I could touch and feel, and when I lay on my side, I could see the threads filling the room (so that one half of my eye was seeing normal and the other was hazy) and when it filled up past my eyes, everything became this shimmery painting, things flowing into each other. I spent an hour staring at a plastic flower in a multicolored vase as the flower grew and morphed and then started over (and the vase too). About ten hours in, someone put on "Say Anything," and I saw scenes and then the audio would repeat backwards. When I got up to drive home (bad idea), I swung my blue jacket around and little blue butterflies fluttered away.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I think Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas comes as close to the acid experience as anything else you're going to see on screen. Course, it all depends on the dosage, but the way that movie shows how even the simplest of tasks can become the biggest obstacle in the world is about as OTM as you can get.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 7 June 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I dunno Ronan. The only time I got really decent effects off of philosophers, they came all clumped together in a big slightly greenish nugget. Since then every time I've seen them, they're all broken into little bits and haven't had quite the desired effect. Mexicans work just fine but on Saturday I didn't really get the full giggliness that you can get and instead just started feeling ultra confused, having to think about the infinite consequences of every single thing I did. Not that nice, but it did subside ok.

i could learn more from acid, if I could find some. Never had enthusiasm for mushrooms, had a girlfriend who sold them so god knows my cheap ass tried to like them, but "whoa look how brown that dashboard is" and crying to "It Sometimes Snows in April" is about as deep as it got and nausea makes it not worth it. Salvia chewed me up and spit me the fuck out last week, transported me to another, subtly terrifying dimension and made me forget that I was ever in this world in the first place. I'm thoroughly humbled but intrigued.

Way more of a mindfuck - stronger hallucinations, stronger disassociation (on mushrooms there was never a time when I didn't know I was me, this was all going to finish soon enough, etc.), during bad times a sense of helplessness.

But I'm not sure my doses of mushrooms and LSD were ever equivalent. Much easier to take three sweet tarts than eat a shit ton of mushrooms.
