Comment on I wonder what they smell like.

  For example, a hypothetical, in low light the LSD has synapses firing so fast that one is very aware of every presence around them. But, everyone is a shadowy monster with glowing eyes. The color of their eye glow indicates their instentaneous level of hostility.

  The distortion of perception brings the subconscious to awareness. This is why hallucinogenics can sometimes be therapeutic. But, as the dose increases, so does the effect of the subconscious. Take too much and the perceptions no longer have much basis in reality.

  If anyone’s reading this and curious, don’t take LSD. There’s no escape from a bad trip. Try mushrooms instead. I keep a little around for when my head can’t reason out what the fuck my heart and ego are choosing.

    Listen up, buster, don’t you go trashing LSD just because you don’t like it. Many people, including myself, have had great experiences that, while different from mushrooms, were just as if not more profound while on LSD

      Listen up, buster, I don’t recommend hardcore psychedelics the curious beginner. Neither should you. Start with mushrooms. Easier access anyhow.

        Regardless of your personal experience, they are both very potent. Personally, the most gnarly, off-the-rails trips I’ve ever had were thanks to shrooms. LSD has been much more consistent for me.

    I used to live next to a big lake in Florida. One night while I was tripping, I walked out to the lake and shined my flashlight out on the water and saw hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at me. Figured it was the start of a bad trip and went back inside. A few days later (not tripping) I went back out with my flashlight and saw the same hundreds of eyes. Fucking gators.

    Mushrooms can give you a pretty bad trip as well, but at least it doesn’t last as long as acid. My advice for either one is make sure you have people around that you love and trust - being alone or being with strangers can be bad news.

      Sober, at night, in the desert: Hundreds of eyes, like stars in the sky. Fucking spiders.

      I agree.

      at least it doesn’t last as long as acid.

      Also, one can also mitigate the effects with induced vomiting, alcohol, or sleep. A batch of shrooms never has byproducts or laced drugs. If they’re particularly strong then grind them up, weigh doses, and encapsulate.

      I took my last dose of LSD more than twenty years ago. Everyone shouldn’t choose as I do because they’re not me. My only intent is people make wiser choices.

      Far more important than squabbles over which one is better to start with. I was an adolescent that took what was in front of me while back of car camping with friends, a few acting as babysitters.

        A classmate and friend of mine died in 2004 from mushrooms that were laced. Ask with caution if you want to know more, it could fuck up your day.

    man the dark itself is a hallucinogen adding LSD and combat must be… one hell of a trip.
