Here is a description of an LSD trip by someone from another forum board:
"LONG story, but very important to some of you mind explorers.
Hey all. to start this off, ive only done weed and small amounts of salvia, never enough to get the full blown trip though. but last night, i heard there was a guy with acid. i couldnt let this opportunity pass me. i read about it somewhat, then told him to put 2 hits on a sugar cube.
I was keeping in mind that this was going to be intense, a journey, and a personal challenge/quest. a test of the mind and how strong i am.
I took the 2 hits hoping to explore my mind and nature while listening to moving music. such as The Doors and stuff. Well, i had 2 friends with me, one took 2 hits like i did, and the other took a mind blowing 4.
We all took them in a sober friends basement and after 20 minutes, we were all intensly tripping. The friend who took 4 hits, was acting very strange. And was turning into a buzz kill, which was a potential bad trip waiting to happen.
In the basement, the walls turned into an egyptian pyramid with hyroglyphics all over them. The walls whispered to me, they were sorry that they were holding me in. the lights got brighter, and flashed while the rooms turned colors. A girl was in the basement, and her eye lashes grew wildly out and swirled around the room. and the floor turned into nothingness.
there was no more acting normal, as the trip was intense and my mind felt free to roam
After a couple hours, we left the friends basement and went outside to explore, at this moment i was peaking on my trip. I layed on the grass and looked up at the sky.. The stars glowed, and swirled around, and as they did, millions of colors filled the night sky and its all i cared about. I took a walk down the road, but was very unhappy to be in the city. I felt like i needed to be alone with nature, no roads, lights, or anything. and civilization pissed me off because there was no escape.
Well, to tell you about my prefrence, i use weed, and hallucinigens to exlpore and expand my understanding, and my mind. The rest of my friends do it to get fucked up, and get as fucked up as the possibly can.
All my friends decided it would be a good idea to rent a hotel room and throw a party.. Which was a terrible idea to me because i didnt want to get as fucked up as i could, i wanted to explore the unknown and feel my trip to the fullest.
well we all piled into the car, (a sober person driving) and thats when i started to realize that i was beginning to have a bad trip because the guy who took 4 hits of acid was screaming whatever popped into his mind, and it scared me. - as acid distorts reality and your thinking.
We got to the hotel party, and the second i got in there, i wanted to leave... so eventually i wound up at this girls house, - they were all sober except me who was staring into plants and finally enjoying my trip.
now anyone whos done acid, knows how amazing the visuals really are. - you can see unbelievable motion trails - like a girl threw a pair of sunglasses to me and it looked like a big rainbow. then she swung her arms in a circle and i could see every millisecond of motion - completely unbelieveable.
eventually i decided to see the effects of weed while on acid, so i smoked some hydro out back. then layed down in the darkness. it somewhat enhanced the acid effects, but i felt the negative effects of weed - anxiety, depression, and stuff like that. which i usually dont feel when i just smoke weed by itself.
i realized pleanty of things - but the most important thing that i realized, is this - drugs have shaped society as we know it. drugs are responsible for trends, wars, and life.
and suddenly, i had a moment of clarity in my head . - i realized that i never want to do drugs recreationally anymore. I wanted to explore the effects they offered, i wanted to explore my mind, and i realized that when im by myself, nothing can go wrong, and nothing negative can happen. i realized that when i do it to get fucked up, it just clouds my perception and i end up being somewhat unhappy about just driving around and smoking all the time. and i feel very enlightened and happy with this. I could and can control anything going on with me, but i realized i couldnt influence others into doing what i thought was right .
im very very happy that i had this experience. and now that i know the truth, my truth, ill be buying 2 hits and taking them in the daytime, and walk around a nature preserve away from civilization. just me, my ipod, and my will to obtain the unknown.
