I am doing a write-up (a lot of pages) about psychedelic drugs for school, and I really need a lot of answers quickly. So I’d REALLY appreciate a lot of answers!
If you can’t write something to every point, then write what you can, but the more the better.
You can also PM it to me or send me an e-mail to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) (It can be in english, german, danish (or italian if it’s in easy words).

- Point 3 isn’t that important if you don’t want to answer it.
- You can write many answers, just make sure that I can see what answers belong to what drug, or just fill in the survey a few times (for each drug once).
- Point 6 is for example, if you got a friend away from an addicting drug by giving psychedelics or if you could finally solve a problem after taking psychedelics or anything that was very special.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Just read this. http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5250.html It’s sort of related to point 6. “With further research, psilocybin may prove useful in helping to treat alcoholism and drug dependence, and in aiding seriously ill patients as they deal with psychological distress”

No doubt about the last statment there,the distress part.

I think under the right atmosphere that mushrooms could be a very valuable tool in helping people with some psychological problems.

True story,I know quite a few people with schizophrenia,one of them I consider one of my best friends,now he has religious hallucinations,and he sees and talks to god.(god is a female named Brittany according to him lol) anways,I pick shrooms and eat them pretty regularly,I am lucky they grow in the wild in my home area.So one time I gave him some,a small dose at first,he said ‘he didnt feel anything’ so I gave him some more,same thing,and then I gave him even more!now by this time I was totally high on them,and he ate more then me,and nothing..he did not even get off on them.The only thing I can guess is that his brain is wired in such away that psychedelics have no effect on him.Or maybe he did not even know the difference.

Good guy though,too bad he is going the way of meth,and I stay away from that shit like the plauge,so I have not saw him in a while.

Saw it Asydhead, thanks a million.

I bookmarked the link Dimu, we need to do our own collecting etc., we can copying existing data (in a modified form), but only to some extent.

So… where’s your story Dimu wink

I will share what I sent him with you all..

Hi,I am Asydhead from the Twisted Forum,I have been taking psychedelics for 20+ years,so yeah,I have plenty of exp in this area smile

1.)What Drug(s).LSD,Mushrooms,Mescaline
2.)How often did I take this in life? Many times,100’s for sure.
3.)Do I still take it?How often?I still eat mushrooms very frequently,they grow wild where I live,probably a couple of times a month.I have not taken LSD in a while,for it is getting harder to find,and when I do find it,it is not very good.
4.)How many bad trips have I had?None really,I started to have a ‘bad trip’ once,but I was talked to by a very experience acid head (I was still in my youth then) and I followed her advice and the problems went away,and I wound up having a great trip.
5.)What is my opinon about these drugs?Well I love them,I think they fine tune my thinking pattern,I notice if I start to feel down for any exteneded amount of time,and if I take some,I sort of get re-focused on life in general.I also think that more people should probably take these as to awaken themselves and see beyond the facade they are living in.
6.)Any special experience you or a friend had?Hmmm very hard to say about that one,natrually the first time I ever took LSD,I was fortuante enough to take some ‘pure’ lsd,and I was completely blown away,I saw visions of things I can not really describe in words,also this trip I took with a friend,and its strange,because we had very similar visions.
7.)Describe my trips.Well usually I get very insightful about how things are,one time I watched a 4 hour video with David Icke and it really really blew me away.I would say that was life changing.Also the first time I ever listened to Simon’s work when I was tripping also completely blew me away,it was a life changing event for me to say the least.



If you want more in depth answers,please feel free to ask me anything you want.I do not hide my use of psychedelics what so ever.

—-


I will share my followup here too

Hmmm well I am not really sure,its not like I keep track of how many times I took lsd back ‘in the day’.I would say I probably dropped 100-150 hits of acid over the years (I am just about 42 y/o,born in 1967)I mostly took the lsd in the early to mid 80’s.Roughly over a 10-15 year period,I could have taken maybe as much as 10 hits a month?Just a guess.Back then I was really into the ‘punk rock’ scene,so I would usually score it at a show.It was really easy to find back then,you could just walk down the street and ask ‘got any doses’ and usually within 30 mins you could get it.One time I scored some fresh dipped stuff and the paper hit was still wet.I had a great trip that night,funny,cause I met Jello Biafra about 15 mins after I took the hit.I thought he was an arrogant asshole.

As far as the ‘shrooms go,I still take them quite a bit,not as much as I used to,but hmm at least 2x a month.I was really heavy into them in the 90’s when lsd became more hard to find.So I read up on how to pick them,and had some other friends that knew how to pick them teach me.As you know you have to be extremely careful when you pick them,one bad shroom and you will die.I have read it is a very painful death too.I am thinking about learing how to grow my own.I understand that can be very hard,as you have to have perfect conditions.

 

The almost bad trip I had..heh,this is an interesting story.The acid head I asked was my mother.Yes,my mom.My parents were very liberal when it came to drugs.(and they paid the ultimate price for this,my mother overdosed on heroin and passed away,and my father got cirrhosis of the liver from excessive drinking and drug use).My parents told me that when my mom was pregnant with me,she took lsd.When I tell people that,they say ‘ohh thats why you are the way you are’ HAH!Anyways,back to the trip.

 

A friend of mine scored 4 hits of some blotter acid in San Fran.so he gave me 2 to take,the plan was that we were going to take it in the morning and then he was going to come over and pick me up.At this time I lived in the country,this is important,I will get back to that later.Anyways,I woke up,and around 7 am,had breakfast and then I dropped the acid.So I kicked back and I read the morning newspaper.Pretty soon the words were getting jumbled and I could not concentrate anymore.So I started to wonder where my friend was,I went out and sat in a swivel type chair,and I was spinning around and while I was spinning,the room stayed still,and when I would stop,then the room span,my vision was very messed up,walls were starting to move.I grew more nervous about my friend,so I called him up.This was about 90 mins after I took the acid.No answer on the phone.I started to panic.I was always told to take psychedelics with a friend.So I felt I had no choice but tell my mom,‘Mom,I think I am having a bad trip’ she asked me what I took,I told her,she said for me to sit on the couch.She said ‘ok why are you having a panic attack’,I told her about my friend and him with his lsd.She gave me a hug and said,‘well son,why dont you ride your bike over there and see him’-I should say,I was about 17 y/o when this was going on-So living out in the country,I had a somewhat long bike ride over there.I swear I could see the wind.Every bug in the air was huge!After about a 20 min bike ride I made it to his house,I knocked on the door,and his big brother opened it up,I said ‘I gotta see donnie,fast’ he said ‘oh he is still asleep’ I went and woke him up,he said ‘oh shit dude,I overslept,sorry,he got up,and as SOON as he put the acid in his mouth,instantly I felt 10000% better.I knew I was safe.

 

So we had a glass of wine or 2 and grabbed the boombox and went swimming in the river.Oh that was awesome,I felt like I became water.I have never felt that again.It was amazing.So for the rest of the trip,we just did the usual stuff,looked close at the trees,the grass,the bugs,stuff like that.Listened to music,smoked some joints,and around 11 pm I went home,hugged my mom,and said ‘thanks’.

 

Wow,I am starting to remember so much more stuff..Back then,breakdancing was very popular,and on the weekends we had some friends that would ‘pop’,so we would take some acid,go over to their house and watch them breakdance..wow,that was soo cool to see.You know the trails and things you get?Everything was soooo fluid.~sigh~ I really miss those days.Great times.

I’ll get to it Ray. I just wanted to wait for my day off and give it the time and answer sincerely and informative instead of just having short answers.

Cool, can’t wait for your answers. I need to do this stuff quite soon, so a quick reply would be appreciated (of course I prefer a more profound answer compared to an earlier, quick one).

1+2. lsd (once), mushrooms (half a dozen), salvia (dozens) cannabis (countless, used to be daily),

3.
lsd: no but i most certainly will
mushroom: no and not likely
salvia: no and not likely
cannabis: yes extremely rarely

4. 5% bad vs 95% good

5.
lsd: best drug i ever had. wish i could be like that all day every day. the experience of absolute reality. huge potential. a gift to humanity.
mushroom: lo-fi version of the above, a little flaky and ambiguous.
salvia: i dont know what to make of it, but it makes cannabis better if u combine. by itself it is…... warped? not sure what’s the potential.
cannabis: overly used if not abused in society, people need to understand how / what to do it rather than do loads of it and get drunk with friends. [link: ]http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_spirit6.shtml]
general: psy drugs need to be properly education about to public and be put aside from shit drugs (coke, heroin, etc)

6. kundalini awakening

7. one time the world was painted in a single color (like color lens filter) and it slowly started shifting through the spectrum (from a space cookie). when i took lsd tho i had 0 visual hallucinations. how about that? smile
