I have been chatting with a guy who said the only real danger with it is to become insane or hurt oneself while affected by it, as the drug makes one less aware of physical dangers.

I have not taken any drug myself, or even been drunk for that matter. I would personally want to try LSD, though. So if anyone has information about it other than what I have said here, please tell. Also tell LSD experiences you have had if you have taken LSD.

You will find this site very helpful: www.erowid.org

It has the most extensive, non-bias information about pretty much any drug known.

LSD: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd.shtml

Thanks for the link! I'm having a look at it right now.

The supposed fact that we use 10% of our brains is not true. We use all 100%, the 10% theory was disproved long ago, yet people keep perpetuating it further and further. Nothing more than a myth, so I've heard.

Aww... I hope that is not true. I want to be able to perform abilities such as telekinesi for example.

Except for the fact that telekenisis is impossible, LSD or no.
I'm not going to protest or anything, but I'd just reccomend caution. Better to be careful when experimenting with drugs.

Nothing is impossible. It is highly unlikely but not impossible.

And if I try LSD, I would make sure to have at least two close sober friends nearby, that can make sure I don't get myself or anyone else killed.

As far as I know, LSD is quite safe and doesn't have addictive properties. I would like to try it myself, because what kind of person are you if you die without seeing all the possible "takes" on reality there are?

The kind that watches 700 Club.

CBN.com with sections on The 700 Club, CBN WorldReach, Operation Blessing International and the News from a Christian perspective.[/b]

Is the 700 club a show for boring people? I think it is.

Ah, you're from England so you aren't "enlightened" to the ways of pat robertson.

Summary: This nutjob gives a Christian spin on every major news topic, bashes gays, threatens world leaders with eternal damnation, peddles diet drinks, asks for money, and prays.

I have nothing against christians, but its zealous psychos like him...

Thanks for that link Manifold_Time. This could be helpful to me.

Well I haven't got any Experience with LSC...And I don't plan on taking Acid either.
But from weird arse Mushroom Trips I have Experiences strange Seperations of Mind and Body.....However I wouldn't Straightout call it SEE? ASTRAL PROJECTION? It felt more like what I would prescribe as an ''Astral Shift'' as if I were hanging Slightly behind and above my own body. and then in front of ''me''

These theories of AP and Telekinesis are only INTERPRETATIONS of these Mind Bubbling Experiences...what REALLY happens...No one Knows. I'm going to eat an entire Mescaline containing San Pedro Cactus with a Friend Some day...Maybe I'll have more insight to speak about these topics then. I HAVE experiences LSA (I ate 3 TINY TINY Seeds!!! of the Hawaiian Baby WoodRose plant), which is closely related to LSD just minus the Hallucinations....it was a VERY confusing experience that I could only Appreciate AFTERwards...not during the experience, but nonthe less very...Interresting

And do check around on www.erowid.org You'll find that Nature is full of plants and Fungi that are SOOOOO much more than meets the Eye. Like they contain ''the Universe''...or something.

Salvia Divinorum, DMT-containing Plants, Mescaline Cacti, Magic Mushrooms....Man nature is full of Psycho Actives...varying from Straightout Bizarre and Psychedelic(Salvia, DMT, Mushrooms) to Slightly Speedy and Stimulant ( Yerba Maté, Coffee Beans, PseudoEphedra )


AND there are a number of plants, from the family The NightShade (A.K.A. The Deadly NightShades). Especially from the 2 plants: Datura Stramonium and Bella Donna. Read these trip reports: They will Blow your Mind. It is just too insane. RED but don't EVER try it....It'll land your arse in either a Hospital, a Sick Mind For EVER or in a Coffin.


Yeah I'm heavily into Shamanism..and being into it I also know what NOT to do. As for LSD: If you want to experiences Severe Altered States of Conciousness: Go with the less harmless natural Hallucinogens: The Entheogens. IF you want to attempt such a Psychedelic drug I STRONGLY advise you to Start with a small dose of Magic Mushrooms First...as you will not know WHATS THE F*CKS is happening to you. Build up a sort of Hallucinogenic Understanding first before you Jump into a deep Psychedelic Chasm such as LSD brings: You may never find the way back to reality.

LSD isn't harmful, unless you have a mind that isn't ready to handle it...So, if you think you are prepared, go with it and try it. Hallucinogens are great mind expanding tools, if you are informed. Always do research, and please be safe. Sometimes, with hallucinogens, you don't have a grasp on your physical reality, and you could end up doing something really stupid. Just please, prepare.

one thing that hasn't yet been said is that you shouldn't be afraid of the drug either. Sure, reading all the above may seem a bit daunting, but the fact is that LSD will cause no physical harm to you, and if your mind is ready then it will cause no mental harm either. I've never met anyone who's had a bad trip, but i think it's because acid is hard enough to get out here that only the people who REALLY WANT it actually get to try it. I think that if you look at this as a potentially awesome experience and suspend any doubts you have before dropping, you'll have a great, fun, spiritually enlightening time.

Yeah, that is a very important point. If you are afraid of it, taking it would be a disaster. It's an amazing experience, so don't be afraid. There are so many doors an experience like this can open up. Try it.

I'm with SKA. Probably best to try something else instead of LSD first. It's a long, strong trip. Try some truffles first maybe, they only last a couple of hours and are better for a beginner in my opinion.

Definitely don't be scared of it, but don't go to the other extreme and be arrogant. It demands respect and will have it's way with you, don't fight it.

Well from my personal experience, just make sure you're in a safe environment, a place you know well or are with people you trust that know it well, and you'll be fine, also be comfortable and accept the fact that your mind will be a little out of whack and be confident that it will return to normal. The only time it doesn't is when people are already schizophrenic, latently, at then it can bring that out. I'd say the first time you do it don't take more than a single dose just so you can be confortable since there is a lot of doubt your first time, and after that, once you become confident your brain is up for the challenge, have fun, just don't be stupid and take it during school or work. It kills the trip when you have to pretend to be normal.

Also, make sure there's a trip sitter with you, someone who can ensure your safety and possibly record your behavior. Being able to rexperience the trip from another perspective can truly be enlightning

Nah, you only need a trip sitter for datura or high levels of salvia. Trip sitting for LSD escapades is usually just pretty boring, and you find "from another perspective" makes the night seem slightly less cool than it actually felt for you. I remember once I passed this guy with a telescope that had this great view of saturn, and he invited my friend and I to look, then I talked to him the next day and it made saturn seem a lot less cool than it was when I was on acid.

A Friend of mine his Brother does like LOTS of dopies. and Shrooms and Acid too. I believe he said that an Acid Trip wasn't as unnerving and intense as a Mushroom Trip. Is there anyone with likewise Experience here to back that up?

10% is a total disproved myth. Telekinesis is achieved by utter concentration, not by using some new, unused part of your brain. Your brain may be working closer to its capacity, but it's not that more's being used.

check out the extended discussion section and look for psychedelic experiences (heres the quicklink: http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/inde...howtopic=21369) in order to read about what LSD experiences are like.

Thanks. I will take a look.

here's another good site to give you a detailed description of what to expect
http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/lsd/psychedelic.htm
I'd agree with what most people have been saying, try something that doesn't last quite as long first so you know what to expect and you won't be quite so anxious, and think about getting a sober sitter who's experienced it before so they know how to help you out if you get into an emotional crisis.
