Comment on [drugs] what does LSD feel like?

It really is a matter of “set and setting” (to quote Leary), plus chemical variability due to black markets.

Sometimes a trip can be intensely visual and have you giggling at an unnamed wonderful shared secret.

Sometimes a trip can just be a sense of existential doom and a vivid imagination, the worst kind of disjointed lost nightmare you half-remember from childhood.

It’s not binary ofc. You have 6-8 hours of intense experience, which is a lot of time to drift from one mental space to another.

The #1 thing I can suggest is to plan a well-stocked bicycle picnic lunch in a low-traffic park. Bring water. Bring a first-aid kit. Bring a friend or two. Bring a frisbee. Bring lots of different kinds of music to listen to. Plan to spend a lot of time walking or sitting quietly, enjoying nature.

Oh, and it’s qualitatively different from weed.

As an analogy: no matter how much alcohol you drink, you never feel high like you ate a single gummy.

Imagine eating a whole bag of edibles while strung out on coffee and not enough sleep. It’s… not really like that

  Oh yeah and one more thing especially given the actual song in the OP – do not take acid to “forget your troubles”.
  
  IT WORKS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT
  
  Have your shit together as much as possible before you dose.

    Agreed, BUT ALSO: Everyone, at all times, has shit they’ve got to get together, though. It can help with that if you’re ready

You should leave this here if its your own experience 😁

  I’m glad erowid has survived all these years. My best stories may or may not been saved there for posterity, and therefore cannot be referenced here 😋
  
  The bicycle thing is something I have done several times on several continents (fun fact: LSD is the easiest drug to bring on international flights)
  
  One time in college, myself and a group of friends all biked to a big field and simultaneously took LSD, shrooms, and edibles. I finally really grokked freshman physics when the force vectors on the frisbee were glowing neon.
