Sorry, but this post goes to show that you just can't believe evrything you read and hear.

I was experiementing with LSD around this time and upon hearing this, I was sceptical. One weekend the four of us decided to get together at my friends lake cottage and test it out. We each took about five pills. After only thirty minutes and one joint it was clear that we hadn't just smoked marijuana.

> > Visually things grew more and more defined and my friends and I started talking less and less. Reality and my imagination seemed to join hands. It seemed that any image in my head would soon try to enter my visual field. After another hour as I hit the bowl of marijuana and passed it to my friend, off in what appeared to be the distance, a figure formed in the sky of the tent. When I finally made it out, it swooped over the top of my head. A TERADACTOL!!! It was only the size of my hand. I laughed out in amazement. Not a bit scared and totally knowing what caused the hallucination. I told my friends who were all locked in there own separate worlds. I didn't get much more of a response than whaooo!! but I knew they completley believed me and could tell they were experiencing similar things.

Then bats joined and in and rapidly flapped around the tent. Bugs and spiders quickley formed all over the tent ceiling and would crawl over the top of my head where I was laying and then fell on my face. I could feel them! Taking a glance away I could see my friends hesterically laughing as swatting away there own hallucinations. We all went into trance.....

For those of you who made previous posts bragging about how you are taking zoloft prescripition and frequently smoking marijuana at the same time, I worry for you sincerely. This is not a mind alteration to enter on a regular basis.That would be the road to serious mental illness. I urge all Zoloft users to try to get off of it. If that can't be done now, then I don't recommend frequent mixing of it with ANY other drug. Chances are you are taking Zoloft for some sort of mental problem, and I guarentee abuse of this powerful and very underestimated psycoactive drug will only make things worse for you in the end.
