Title: Why do YOU take LSD?
Post by: PurpleBalloons54 on December 23, 2012, 03:58 pm
I'm looking for honest answers.

I've read the lauding statements of proponents and users of LSD as something "super meaningful and life changing",

but I'm wondering, when it comes down to it, do most just do it for a euphoric joy ride, like riding an amusement park ride?


Anywho, why do YOU use LSD?

I tried it because I had the permanent feeling of a void inside myself. I couldn't explain were that was coming from and LSD showed me. It was not a pleasant experience but helped me a lot to get my life back on track.

Good luck on your travels, find someone who you really like and let them guide you.

I take LSD to get back in touch with myself.  LSD opens up your mind and heart.... tells you where you have been and where you need to go.

I met my Future self.   ???  He had a lot of things to say and we did discuss ways for the present me to take control of my life and actually get to that point in the future....

Both the future and present me thought long and hard on how every single organism on this planet must work together as gears do ( fingers interlocked) to succeed on this planet that is alive...

On December 21.... when it was all supposed to STOP... I felt the earth shift... our way of thinking shift.  TIME WAVE ZERO....

Oh yeah..... LSD is VERY GOOD for helping someone get over an addiction to death drugs like Oxy's and Roxi's....

I take it for many reasons, different dosages for different purposes too.  Overall though I think it's just a fun drug to do every now and then, there are aspects of it to me which sort of make the experience feel like a ride every time.  I find it to be somewhat predictable now but in a good way because I've dropped it so many times, I've never had a bad trip but then again I usually take it pretty responsibly and plan ahead for it.  I find acid trips to be a really good release of pent up stress I didn't even know I had, I always feel like I'm just generally better adjusted and more comfortable in my life after a trip.

I have a lot of recurring visuals and feelings I get only when on a good acid trip and it's always nice to feel them again.  For example most of the time on acid it feels like there's a drip or waterfall inside my brain which spouts off colors and warms parts of my head to the sound of music.  It's hard to explain, but also I often see a color changing grid of what looks like diamonds in space when I close my eyes.  Sometimes I'll do low doses with friends and mix it with MDMA and just have a fun time listening to music and socializing.

One of my favorite things to do when tripping though whether with other people or alone is just being outside in nature, because I find that I get many of the strongest and trippiest open eye visuals from just basic things like staring at clouds or walking through a forest, and it can be a really powerful experience that makes me question the very nature of the universe and wonder about the limits of perception.  Me and my girlfriend a few years ago took a pretty strong dose and then went boating on a beautiful lake while listening to music, there were no signs of people around but the weather was perfect and we had it to ourselves, it was one of the best if not the best drug experience of my life because of how great the day turned out and how things felt like they just fell into place.

There's really too many things I like about it to list them all but I think you get the jist, it's an awesome psychedelic.

i've had to ease many a people down from a horrid experience while they were on acid...
and a positive surrounding with positive people IS ideal!!!
i personally have never taken lsd, only because of what i've witnessed and heard... but by all means indulge to your hearts content!!!

when i was around 10- 12, i remember going to work with my father, who was in construction...
while driving on the freeway he reaches over and firmly grabs me by the shoulder, with a very intent look on his face he says
"don't worry son, but i'm having an acid flashback right now..  and can't tell if we're actually driving or not"  :o :o

this. It can connect you to yourself again, especially after prolonged drug-use when you feel somehow lost. It can put my mind back to it's "center". Haven't found anything remotely similar yet.

Good thing the new lsd-therapy studies in CH!

i use lsd as a tool for self-discovery and self-transformation... same reason why i use any psychedelic. it's also a way for me to connect with my deceased mother. before i was born she had hundreds of lsd trips, so it's kind of in my blood you could say. taking lsd makes me feel like a kid again, allowing me to see things more clearly, without clouded judgment. it fills me with wonder and curiosity and provides vital life energy that helps further my healing.

I think it sounds a little cliche...but taking LSD makes me feel like I am opening some sort of gate that allows a special light to fall into this universe. I love the way it allows me to see the world in a different way. I love that change in perception. It's thrilling and mind opening. It has led me to make discoveries about myself and it has also led to me simply experience something simple and beautiful and happy.

It's the closest thing, I think, to being able to step into a dream.

Very importantly, there's no bitter come down (like I experience with MDMA) and there's no fear of addiction. Of course, I would really love to be able to do LSD more often, but that's because it's such a good time! More than that, I really wish I could share this experience with my friends who have not had a chance to try it! I feel bad that they have missed out on something like this. It's just unfortunate that it's so incredibly expensive on here! I had a real life connection once upon a time, but that's all history now!

To make sure it was in fact the master class people said it was.

...and It was. No other drug lived up the hype, LSD did at bargain basement prices and an experience that surely will change anybodies life. If nothing else, that slight perspective shift that makes you realise we are all the same matter suspended in cosmic frequencies...

I take LSD to become a better person, expand myself into understanding other persons' viewpoints, and to synthesize a new understanding of religious, scientific, and philosophical truths for the world.

I take LSD to see that there is more to my life than the sober eye sees. I take it to ride my emotions (both good and bad), and to feel more connected with my own body and mind. I don't take it for any profound meaning or to become enlightened, but because it is beautiful to experience the full power of emotions that are hidden from the world in everyday life. When I am tripping, I can truly be myself without worry or restraint. There is nobody telling me that my emotions do not belong, or that my hopes about reality are stupid. There is just me and my mind released from its usual bubble, and happy to explore the true meaning of joy, love, sorrow, sadness, hatred, fear, hope, and peace. The visual and audio hallucinations are secondary in the trip to me, just an added bonus depending on what actual psychedelic is chosen and dose.

I take LSD for a few reasons. My imagination runs wild like I'm a little kid again and I love to laugh hysterically at nothing at all and everything is entertaining,  magical, and amazing. Also, I always get a great feeling that everything is connected to form some kind of universal purpose. LSD takes me back to a simpler time, like looking through the eyes of a small child and seeing and realizing the world for the first time.

It's just a really enjoyable experience that I think everyone should experience once in their lives. When you start tripping it's like you're in a different dimension, everything colorful, you feel so happy for almost no reason, time feels like it's going to whatever pace you want it to, and you have such deep meaningful thoughts and ideas that you would never had if you were sober. It's really hard to explain the beauty of it to somebody who hasn't taken it. I took it because it seemed safe, and I wanted to see why everybody spoke so highly of it, and I was not disjointed once I finally took it.

I've tried it 4 times at vastly different dosages. I'm not really into it evne though you find out some introspective shit (unless you take those dosages where forget language and an't think.. the only thing you find out is that a tiny little drop of something can change the world into one big fucked up cartoon where your ego dissolves... because you can't talk and you don't know who you are or what you're doing.. all you see is crazy shit all around- and all you can do is feel it / laugh your ass off or cover in fear... or masturbate at all the crazy cartoon titties and asses flying around.

I don't konw about all this spirituality shit people are talking about. To me it's convoluted non sense. I figured out I was too self critical and that helped me a lot and I stopped being self critical, instead I've become over confideent and self absorbed.. but hey that's better than being self critical and anxious! you get shit done.

I think a lot of people would benefit from an introspective lowish dose of LSD but I don't know what you stand to gain from exploding into a cartoon universe... other than your brain can play funny games on you.

i take it for self realization and self discovery

i was in a midlife crisis for a while and i just wanted to figure out who i was and what i wanted to do. i know i'm mentally super uptight so i needed something to help me let go and tap into my subconscious. so far, lsd has not disappointed me

I take LSD becau∂ƒ©˙∆

oops - keyboard screwed.

I take it because it enables me to think very deeply about many topics and allows me to think about my life from an outsider's perspective - i guess that is self realisation.

Also, music sounds incredible on LSD - plus art, architecture and nature seems very much more beautiful or interesting.

It's a shitload of fun too :)

+1 same reasons I use psychedelics.

when I was younger I use to take it just to trip and have a good time with my buddys but now I have realized that it is a very powerful and mind opening drug.

Tripping so hard that when you close your eyes you are smashing through space barriers and onto new dimensions.
