    If anyone is wondering, this is my PERSONAL explanation for LSD:
    It's different for everybody. I will try to give my best explanation, though. Keep in mind, it's very likely for someone to respond to my explanation saying "That's nothing like it!", but like I said, everyone's different.
    LSD seems to change something regarding your perception of "image". I don't mean literally visual image (which does also happen), but image in terms of social identities.
    You are a person. You have friends and family that expect you to act a certain way that is consistent with the patterns that you have gone about your whole life. You have a style that you generally keep up. You define all these attributes that you have as "You". When you take LSD, those things seem to... dissipate. What you call "You" becomes very blurred. It becomes very apparent that you aren't what you do, you are the one that experiences what you do. The identity you define yourself as becomes obviously an illusion and you recognize that there is no way that you're supposed to act. Being smart, good-looking, famous, and all the other things that society seems to make important all suddenly seem insignificant.
    Because they are.
    You're conditioned to view the world in a way that is parallel (in some sense) to how those around you feel. On LSD, that conditioning disappears, and you see the world, yourself, and others seemingly for the first time, without prejudice or identity. The worries that normally take place in your life seem petty because you realize they actually are. For the most part, life is quite incredible and it is incredible to experience anything at all, and LSD helps you realize that that truly is the case.
    My favorite way to put it is this:
    When you would normally look at a pink piece of paper, it has some sort of symbolism. Perhaps you make connections to mothers day, girls, strawberry ice cream, or whatever it is you subconsciously make connections with. On LSD, you see it for what it really is. A pink piece of paper. What makes it interesting, though, is that you've had those images attached to the color pink your whole life, so it seems as if you are experiencing it for the first time. It's like being a young child again, experiencing and exploring the world for the first time.
    It's quite incredible, I must say.
    There are some other things it does, too.
    For one, it distorts your vision, creating patterns that are very symmetrical and colorful. The visuals seem to generally reflect your mood (which doesn't really make any sense until you take it). Also, it makes you really excited about everything not only for the reason that I explained, but also because it probably makes your brain release a large amount of dopamine. Also, your emotions become more intense. Happiness becomes bliss, excitement becomes ecstasy- on the flip-side, loneliness becomes desolation and fear becomes terror. For the most part, you won't experience much of the negative emotions if you're a relatively satisfied person. I know many people that have taken LSD countless times and have never once experienced a bad time on the substance.

    • @VoidPhantom0917
      @VoidPhantom0917 9 років тому +34

      Sounds pretty accurate to me. I know my friend had a bad experience and had to get sent to the hospital due to a seizure while we were tripping. That day has scarred me ever since, but I don't really blame the drug for it. I'm still somewhat afraid to take LSD again due to that accident, but I'm confident that the times I have done it had altered my life for the better. I used to drown myself in sorrow day and night, and now my soul bathes in sunshine, if that makes sense.

    • @FrontyardFlatground
      @FrontyardFlatground 9 років тому +41

      If someone had a seizure from it, that means that it was likely 25x-nBOME. Watch out for that stuff. If you make sure it's not any research chemicals like that, you've got nothing to fear!

      @FrontyardFlatground 9 років тому +23

      Smell has nothing to do with it. 25c-nBOME will have a VERY significant taste that is extremely metallic and chemical-like. LSD won't taste like anything (some people disagree with this, but it's always been the case with me). Your best bets, though, are to 1.) Have a reliable dealer, 2.) Buy a test kit, 3.) If it tastes bitter, don't take it. Trust me, it may save your life.

Meaning he was claiming to have ingested 10,000 µg of LSD. Since the standard 'medium-high' dose is 100µg, it meant Morrison ingested the equivalent of 100 hits at once!

    The amount of times me and friend on acid all witness crazy skies and crazy weather is uncanny. Red sunsets was a welcome commonality. One time though, on a hot summers night a storm hit. We took the trip and came 'up' as a thick black line of cloud moved across the sky. The rain was biblical. We took shelter and got higher and higher. It was amazing. We walked and walked for miles (it didnt feel like it at the time) and got to a town we knew well. The rain had been so heavy that we all noticed lots of cats walking around even though it was a town with a busy road. I never saw a single cat there before or since but that night there were around 10 or 12 cats walking around. Then we realised why. The rain had come down so hard that birds couldnt fly because their wings seemed to be saturated. The cats took their late dinner. Shit like that only happens when youre tripping on acid.....

    Taking acid changed my life and made me a better person. If you want to take it, make sure your environment is good, and your mental state is positive. Have some familiar things like music pictures, or movies to enjoy as you trip. DO NOT TAKE TOO MUCH, or become a regular user. I took it at staggered periods through my 20s and 30s, and today I have a very responsible job and a good stable life. I would take it again : )

He also made a shitload of LSD analogues and tested all them on himself..... and tried to isolate and characterize salvia alkaloids but couldnt do it because his sample had degraded .... so yeah, we can say LSD changed his life pretty much

      Personal responsibility, smoking in movies has little impact, and what can be done instead of an R Rating.
      It is completely your choice to watch a movie with smoking in it, there is a reference guide to help you with that and you do not need a law to tell you that. It is the parent’s responsibility to decide what to watch and it is not up to the government to tell you whether you can watch something that is perfectly legal. What next? Coffee is a drug - do we need to be warned about coffee drinking in movies, and give them an R Rating? I don’t think so. Parents are able to explain the dangers of smoking to their children, schools teach the dangers of smoking, and governments do not need to go to the extreme of an R Rating for smoking. It is not necessary. Furthermore, people need to take responsibility for their actions. If they take up smoking they should accept that it was their choice and not blame movies. The actor doesn’t reach out of the screen and light the cigarette for you.
      Smoking is in many PG and G films. Even Disney films such as Dumbo, The Incredibles, 101 Dalmations and Beauty and the Beast have some characters in them who smoke. It is such a minor part of the movie that it has no impact on the children who watch, and it would be ridiculous to make Disney movies R Rated just because of a few seconds worth of smoking in them.
      There are many of the characters that smoke in the films, but it has such a low impact on the film that it does not make children tempted to smoke themselves. In a recent study in America done by author Dr. James Sargent of the School of Medicine at Dartmouth in Lebanon, New Hampshire he found that children are not influenced to take up smoking if they see it in G or PG movies. In adult films smoking has a high impact on teenagers, but in PG and G films it has very little influence.
      If smoking in movies really bothers you, then have a warning on them which tells you which movies show smoking. That is all that is needed. Then you can decide for yourself if you want to watch it. But to make it R Rated in movies is an overreaction.
      So in conclusion, I believe that it is not necessary to use a sledgehammer to crack a walnut in other words, an R Rating is going too far. Thank you

      I use marijuana daily, and trip every 3-4 weeks (sometimes more, sometimes less, but I consider that a good spacing, at least for this point in my life; summer off from university). I can't say I would recommend pot too much, I do enjoy it, but it's nothing spectacular, I'm thankful for whatever changes pot has made to my brain over time, but I hate the effects it has on my motivation and clouds my thinking.
      I would seriously recommend full psychs however, they really have improved my life and the way I perceive things in ways I really can't describe, it's not just me, people around me (including my parents) report generally great mood and creativity than before my LSD use, to think I was just a typical, insecure teenager with no idea about what I wanted in life, who knows how much of that is growing up and how much of it was due to LSD use? Not to say I feel I'm anything special now, but I feel so much more comfortable in my own skin. Always worth remembering however that acid is a catalyst, not a reactant (sorry for such a lame analogy, but it's apt) and it's not just a free ticket to 'enlightenment'.

    lucy in the sky with diamonds was not written about drugs. John wrote it after his son drew a picture of a strange flying woman. John asked him what it was and then he told that it was Lucy in the sky with diamonds. He immediately wrote a song about it, he didn't know that lsd was in the name. He did take lsd though of course. John Lennon on 'Lucy In The Sky with Diamonds' and LSD | The Dick Cavett Show is the title of the interview where he is asked this question

      Look, The Beatles had no issue admitting their drug use. They admitted that songs like Fixing a hole and Daytripper were about drugs. Why would they need to lie about this particular song? John Lennon even jokes about his surprise saying "After seeing that Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds spelled out LSD, we started looking at the letters of all our songs to see if there were any other unintentional references."
      Look up interviews of them talking about it. It's clear that it was just a misunderstanding. I have no trouble believing that Lennon did write the song because of a drawing from his son. I think if the song was about drugs, they would have said so. But because they deny it, despite admitting that other songs were about drugs, I think it's safe to say that it was just a misunderstanding. I mean it's easy to take strange lyrics and assume they were written while high, but that's just how they were as lyricists. Lots of bands would write strange lyrics that made no sense just because they were musicians and they just chose lyrics that would fit in with the music.

    • @jiggywithit4869
      @jiggywithit4869 11 років тому +3

      Well, perhaps Paul McCartney believed it at the time but he didn't write the song. Only Lennon could really know for sure, but it just doesn't make sense that he'd openly admit that some songs are about drugs, and not others. He was pretty open about that sort of thing, so I just think it was a coincidence.

      Chris Horton Right and I understand that but do people not realize he had a slew of other problems which is what caused his overuse of LSD. It wasn't the acid as much as it was him and pretty much everyone in the band admitted that.
      Still though people destroy themselves with anything and he just happened to do it with acid. Big whoop. Who cares. That shouldn't qualify him as a poster boy for acid or even just a "famous user" because it just gives acid a bad name.
      I guess the interesting thing about Barrett is that you would always hear about those guys who do too much acid and aren't quite right after and you would always hear about acid casualties but you would never see them that much. In Syd's case though he was in the public eye, a celebrity that could have his abuse of the drug be visible to everyone. Possibly the most well known acid casualty but that's it, shouldn't be one of the most famous "users".

      Chris Horton What about him? Are you saying he's an acid casualty because I don't see him as one.

      No he's not an acid casualty, but he supposedly ate alot of it,

    See id love to try acid, but you cant ignore the facts that it could do you damage, ive tried mushrooms and enjoyed them, and look forward to taking them again, but from what ive read, the real lsd is hard to come by, and the stuff that most people are doing now isnt even the real deal?

    • @visartistry
      @visartistry 9 років тому +1

      Yep, i've took the "fake deal" three times, it's nbome, the taste is awful makes me waka throw up just for remembering, the effects are pretty much mdma.

      If mushrooms didn't do damage, it is highly doubtful that LSD will do damage. Assuming it was LSD and not a shitty imitator and that your not abusing it frequently.

    Alan Moore totally should have been on here. He was a LSD dealer and user and it helped him create many ideas for his graphic novels.

      George Harrison probably attained a much higher psychedelic experience than most lsd users bc of his years of meditation. If you cant understand that you probably have never taken real lsd
