Yes I did, and yes I had full blown hallucinations.

I was very lucky. I was with a group of friends who *didn't* partake. They followed me around to be sure I didn't get hurt.

It scared the bejaggers out of me.

So - home is *not* safe. If you are tripping you aren't likely to stay there.

You know how seconds before rain there is a silence and everything stops? That's the start. An uncanny stillness, with a yawny feeling. Then, over time, the visual field flattens and the patterns start. There are no hallucinations as such, but the patterning (which has been much reproduced and would be familiar to you) becomes progressivey more intense. The odd thing is that this does not feel like something you are watching exactly. More like the normal distinction between subject (you) and object (everything else) is rendered obsolete. At the time this makes perfect intuitive sense and you might (I did) feel that you have been given a glimpse of a great secret. In short you are given a chemically induced religious vision. You become extremely concious of the different aspects of your feeling and motivation. It's a very interesting drug, and reasonably dangerous, and the danger is dose related.
Hope that helps. It must sound like I take it every day, but I don't think I've had any for 30 years.

Theres stuff out there that makes LSD look like budweiser, its not the end all of psychedelic drugs. Then again i doubt you're ever going to meet a recreational DMT user so i guess to people not in the know LSD seems like a big deal.

Not that it should be taken lightly because it shouldnt its just not all that its cracked up to be. Some of the new research chemicals will give you a definite understanding of what "oblivion" really means.

Perhaps it's also important to remember that street drugs are not regulated, and you can't always be sure what you are getting into unless all your friends already tested the batch out: quality, potency- even if it's "pure". (And where are the ethics in that??)
I understand lots of drugs, for example, are "enhanced' with PCP, formeldehyde, speed, and other substances. This, naturally, is a huge, but not only, part of the risks and dangers involved.

As much as i respect the spirit of this board and definetly do not want to give the impression that im promoting drug use.

When someone buys LSD its either a piece of paper or its LSD. Theres no psychedelic substance known to man that can have substantial effects in microgram sized doses besides LSD.

It can still be lsd with something else added to it, and whoever cooked it up in the lab might be making each batch a little differently-sloppiness, whatever. It's NOT all the same. I recall even those pieces of paper were not all the same size. With all these illegal drugs- you are at mercy of someone cooking it up at their personal lab, unsupervised.

I haven't touched this stuff for about 20 years- but almost have a hazy memory of people warning to watch out for LSD laced with the rat-poison, strichnine. Not sure what it was supposed to do...but it did something (?)

The stuffs the holy grail of clandestine drug production. Its not like meth where billy bob down the street at the trailer park can cook up a batch whenever he needs a fix. Besides theres no drugs to my knowledge that affect people on a microgram scale that could be applied to blotter paper. Even with some of the new super potent research chemicals like 2c-i the smallest effective dose would be 15mg, that would take one very large piece of paper.

?

I only ever dabbled, not excatly a super-expert. I did try X once in that same era, and I recall that was on a small piece of paper too. What's up with ther strichnine rumour? And why were some batches of lsd known for different things- some described as "speedy", some described as particularly visual, etc?

I used it a few times a little after college.

Once, it was more of a pure street drug type purchase (I think)-- a friend had gotten it from someone. Might have had a lot of methedrine or other speed in it-- who knows-- I had much more intense and dislocating spacial and other visual distortions-- not altogether pleasant-- and everything swam in and out of consciousness in a rather disconnected, although smooth and incredibly immediate way. I had no real hallucinations, although for a while my image in the mirror seemed to be wavy and very out of kilter.

It did feel as if my perceptions were enhanced, but my sense of space was extreme, but almost only that right in front of my face--everything else kind of eerily withdrew-- I would experience things that seemed to come out at me from the room-- right at my eyes or face- and they were so illuminated or long-drawn-out (especially sounds) that it was hard to locate them, they were so in-close, or drawing away or at a stained almost off-stage distance.

I also got very depressed at the end-- possibly coming down from the speed.

The other times probably it was better, or purer, drug. Those were extremely intense, very beautiful, memorable and meaningful experiences. Everything was drenched in some sort of sublime and almost romantic luminosity-- I can't explain-- and as if there was music in it--

I did have a brief episode of paranoia on the third one-- which is why, among other reasons, I absolutely wouldn't do it again. It was the middle of the night-- and I was convinced that something terrible was about to happen-- and would really have run out into the street-- without any sense of the "reality" of the thing-I was so focussed on my own ideas and inner quality of the truth of my emotions-- and a few immediate things, like being unable to get the door open--- which overwhelmed everything else.

At one point, to give an example, I was with someone I knew (a boyfriend at the time), and I became convinced that he needed water. I'm not sure why-- but we were standing together and I was looking at him, and I thought that he desperately needed it. I tried to hand him a glass of water-- which he didn't want. I kept insisting, that he have it-- and he said no. So, in the conviction that it was of utmost importance for him to get some water-- that he was parched or otherwise would be in danger from the absence of it-- I threw the water into his face. Literally.

He was shocked to say that least. I guess I managed to explain, despite the fact that he was also on LSD.

So things can get very strange, and yet very beautiful. I would definitely only take it if I could utterly depend on the sanity and good sense of the people I was with-- but I never feel that I can-- and wouldn't take it any way, as I can't depend on that in myself either--= another condition.

One of the primary arguments against the premise that differences in LSD experiences are the result of differences in quality of material has come from people i've spoken to who have distributed and aliquoted acid in the past. One such person described how some recipients of his LSD would go on at length about how distinct and how much better one type of blotter was than another. Yet, often, both types had been aliquoted by this chemist on the same day, from the same batch of liquid, onto similar blotter paper bearing different designs.

LSD is very picky and doesnt like changes in environment, negative mental states, etc. Also preconceived notions about the effects of a certain type of LSD could influence the outcome.

Even so, once you've had pure acid you don't forget it. There are a lot of different chemicals in "Pikhal" and "Tikhal", some of which have doses low enough to fit in blotters, not to speak of things that wouldn't have made it into Shulgin's books.

If this is true, I'm genuinely astonished. First question- how many "middle-men"? Could they soak the blotters in anything somewhere along in the distribution cycle? You might say soaking would mess up those stamps- but what of the blotters that were just pastel bits of paper? Or, for that matter- could any of the raw ingredients have been tampered with or adulterated? Second, when I was in college, acid was THE thing on campus. I had a lot of friends, they had a lot of friends...next thing you know, there were hundreds of people networked who would have consensus over "this acid is speedy, this acid is awsome", etc. How could that many people be so collectively suggestable- not even knowing each other- having very different personalities...even consensus AFTER the fact, such as, "oh- that stuff that was around a few months ago was awful, wasn't it"? I just don't get it. And another thing- not once did I ever hear of anyone having a full-blown hallucination then. Not one single report. Nothing more than the "patterning", distortion of objects already there, trailing- that sort of thing. Why then, would Mel have a real hallucination if the common "wisdom" was "PCP gives hallucinations-stay away from it- acid can't and doesn't". Is that true? And please no one quote any govt reports- it's widely known those were falsified. I just don't get it.

How does PCP come- is that also on blotters?

Ok, so some extremely exotic research chems may have a dose small enough to fit onto a blotter. But really if its a good enough chemical to pass off as L to begin with i doubt most people are going to cry foul or ever know it wasnt the substance they thought it was. If someone has the knowledge and resources available to them to make these research chems than they probably could make L so it seems like a waste of time.

Being from and growing up in the berkley of the northwest i've seen liquid L and even the crystal stuff, so "pure" isnt that exotic to me.

I really dont know and human psychology is a weird thing. Large groups of people see jesus in a taco all the time.

I've never seen PCP as it fell greatly out of favor as a recreational drug after the 70s (at least on the west coast). As far as i can tell an active dose of pcp is around 10mg. Small but not small enough for blotter paper unless you were taking something the size of a quarter sheet. I've never had first hand experiance with the drug so i cant say anything but i have used other dissociatives and there is no way in hell you're going to fool anyone that a dissociative is L. A dissociative trip is sort of like falling into yourself and your interalizations so far that the world is meaningless. Its like being in a numb void.

LSDs hallucinations look like illusions...unless you're completely twisted on an amount so large you should really know better, i seriously doubt you're ever going to mistake them for reality. I've seen some weird stuff but never once was i ever convinced it was real. A moderate dose produces the usual wall breathing/patterns/yada. Higher ones may definetly cause full blown open eye hallucinations.

From the "northwest"? Did you not know then that PCP was HUGE there during the mid 1990's? A bit north of Berkley, though. It was coming down from Vancouver regularly.

And as for LSD, massive numbers of college educated people, including all kinds of atheists and pagans, etc., don't often see jesus on tacos and then later get together to compare notes. Not even the guys who took so much acid that they sat physically incapacitated in their van for 2 days straight solving a professor's tricky "impossible" equations saw jesus or anything else like that. But they did solve the equations, to the professor's astonishment.

I'd add that the PCP people were very enthused about seeing outrageous, full blown hallucinations, like heards of pink elephants walking down the street, friendly space-men landing with their spaceships in their backyards, and so on. They got a huge thrill about such "adventures" which they felt livened things up a bit. I've NEVER heard about that sort of thing with LSD. Nothing even remotely like that. And I kept my far distance from the PCP, so never actually saw it. But that's why I speculate about if a small amount of it could not have been added to LSD at times, to "enhance" it.

The people I knew using PCP were indeed pretty scummy and "not quite with their marbles together", to say the least.

I've met two cleaned-up and recovered heroin addicts who went through rehab, but think I've never even met anyone or know of anyone using or having used meth. I couldn't even imagine-

But heard an interesting "factoid"-not sure if it's true-that meth was developed by desperate factory workers and farm labourers to cope with their long intense hours of hard work???? So it's like a social class thing??????????

Methamphetamine is everywhere on the west coast. Chances are at least every other person you see on the street will know someone who's ruined their lives with it.

As far as its history i belive it was invented by a japanese scientist in the 1890s and has pretty much been a full scale epidemic in japan ever since.

Its definetly a working class drug.

I cant really look down on people who use it, if it werent for my monthly prescription of 270 dextro-amphetamine i'd probably end up in a nuthouse. Treatment resistant dysthymia + inattentive AD/HD seems to be utterly debilitating in everyone unlucky enough to be afflicted by them (me included).

Interesting. I didn't know meth was from Japan or an epidemic there. The person who told me that "fact" about it being developed in US probably had it all wrong, and definately has political/class injustice interests. Maybe she meant to say it's a working class drug sometimes used for fatigue relief by over-worked labourers. It sounds like a truely horrifying substance, and I do know it's rampant in the US- I just don't personally know of anyone using it- probably a social class thing? Or because I tend to be surrounded by a lot of "intellectual"/academic types who aren't interested in it? (?) Those that would be, I'd speculate, would go for coke instead. Or precriptions. Which must explain why a certain pharmacist at my otherwise lovely pharmacy hassles me whenever I get a dose change or "refill too soon" with ritalin.

I can't look down on the meth people either, but I feel very, very sad for them.

I asked him if he has ever tried it, and after asking why I need to know, he said he had, had friends that have. Well he has seen it do nothing bad to people like himself,(70's child) but he has also seen it put someone in a mental hospital for 2 weeks.

He says he would never do it now, for many reasons and he thinks it would be a bad idea for me as a mother and all. Being arrested wouldn't be a great idea if I were caught, plus the medical side of it, I have asthma, and what if it caused an attack, and I had to go the hospital. I guess too many risks for me just to try it. So I guess I will stay "vanilla" and not try it, I do trust his what he says. I thought it sounded like fun to try just once, but too risky for many reasons. Thanks everyone for all your insites and info about this.

Oh man, I would love to share my experiences with LSD! I truly loved this drug more than words can express (I have not touched this stuff in over 8 years). I clearly remember the first time I took LSD (paper hit of Orange Sunshine). I was at a House party on the beach, and my "friend" was selling hits for $5. I had just that, and bought a hit. It hit me about 45 minutes after taking it and I was in heaven. All my senses and feelings were exxagerated by 500%. Luckily I was in a good mood to begin with, or... I will get to that later. There were over 300 ppl at this party, and I was out of my mind. I remember one guy doing this thing... called the "Invisible Box". It's where a person starts talking to you and he has an invisible box in his hands, he then places the invisible box over your head while his lips are still moving but he is not talking. He then removes the invisible box from your head and you can then hear him again, and it repeats over and over. On acid, this is the most amazing trick in the world!!!! I don't remember much else from the night. I was to sleep over a friends house but I was so out of my mind, she could not take me home to your house for her parents to see me this way. Next thing I know, it's 6am, everybody is gone, I am standing in the middle of the street talking to myself, asking myself how the hell I was going to get home. There were 2 guys getting ready to leave, putting the empty keg in their trunk. They were kind enough to drive me home. This occured in 1994, I was 14 years old!

I fell in love with this drug and started using it weekly with my best friends. we were hitch hiking to south beach one day, and an old hippy driving a hippy van picked us up. He asked us if we smoked pot, we were like hell yah! Smoked a nice fat one, then he asked us if we did cocaine.... Hell yah, took a few bumps and were in pure bliss. Moments later he asked if we did LSD, we said HELL FU*K YAH, and he said he was actually on his way to south beach to pick up a sheet of 100 hits of "Jesus Christ" hits of acid. We then went to his apartment and dropped 3 1/2 hits each. He had a keyboard, we made the most amazing music that mankind has ever heard (to us only probably lol). I will never forget the sounds, the melody, the orgasmic duet that my friend and I played, we must have been on that keyboard for hours. It was about 3am and we were pretty loud. Next thing we know, about 8 cop cars surronded the building and rushed up the stairs. We were so freaked out because we were soooo high, imagine going to jail while on LSD?!?!?!!!! So we all ran into his room and jumped in the closet// There were 4 of us in a tiny closet and I was upside down on my head (??). We heard banging and shouting but then everything died down, we went outside to look what the hell happened and they were arresting the next door neighbors !!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe our luck omg! So we continued to have fun, and smoke lots of pot. He was house sitting a dog for a friend of his... beautiful little pooch. I remember going to the bathroom and didn't see him, and I shut the door on his leg and broke it! That killed my high right then. I went into a horrible trip, and my heart rate increased tremendously. He was yelling at me, the dog was yelping and crying, and my friends were cracking up. He then started to get slick with us and asked if we wanted to get nasty with him. WE LEFT! As we were walking back to the beach (we lived on the beach, under a boardwalk for months)... we ran into her sisters boyfriend. "HAVE YOU SEEN ALENA? SHE IS MISSING AND I'M SCARED HE WAS MURDERED BY A CRACKHEAD SHE WAS SLEEPING WITH". Mind you we were still tripping nuts and began a hunt to find our dear friend Alena. We walked in the park, searching the bushes for her body, looking behind buildings.... This was the freakiest sh*t. We ended up finding her, alive, at a crack dealers house.

we made our way back to the beach, and just stared off into the ocean. We started telling stories about "Ghost Boats" and my friend said if you stare long enough, you will see a ghost boat appear. We must have stared at the ocean for over an hour and there it was, a GHOST BOAT!!! I started freaking out, and crying and everybody else saw it too. It was so amazing, I will never forget the image of the light gray/faded boat with pirates aboard.

Over the years, I must have done over 100 hits of acid. I recall times sleeping over my friend Carolina's house. Her room was filled with florescent lights, posters, glow in the dark stars, etc. She had 1000 stars on the wall so it was really cool to look at while tripping on acid. She had a bass and would play pink floyd songs that would trip me out. i recall us taking a drive down ocean drive, she was tripping so hard at one point that she couldn't see... i remember her screaming "OMG I CANT DRIVE I CANT SEE I CANT SEE THE LIGHTS, is the light RED OR GREEN??? I DONT KNOW CAROLINA, THE LIGHT LOOKS PURPLE TO ME. I don't remember how we made it home.

I remember a time I caught a bus to see my friend Mike who had a huge house in a bad part of town. He sold weed and asked if I wanted to come hang out. Once I got there, we took a few hits of acid and smoked tons of weed. I was probably 15 years old at the time. He had a 7 ft. bong, we had to stand on a chair to smoke out of it!!! I remember going into his bathroom and looking at myself in the mirror. I was the ugliest monster on the planet. My face was red and my freckles were moving. I looked strung out to the fu*king max. I remember we started making out, and then all of a sudden I freaked out!!!! I don't know why, but I went into a horrible trip. When you go into a horrible trip, you can't breath right, your heart is racing, your mind is racing, all your negative thoughts are so powerful. I told him I had to leave immediately! he walked me to the bus stop, i went to my friends house who lived 4 miles away. i could NOT go home like this, plus i was a run away at the time. I get to my friends house, and her mother tells me ROXANNE IS GROUNDED< STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!!!!!!! and she slammed the door on my face. I remember sitting in the stairways freaking out, how am i going to get home, what am i going to do. i let me trip die down a bit and i caught a bus back to the beach.

I've had a lot of great, memorable trips. But one of my last trip was so severe and almost took my life. I was at my friends house, there was a party, there were drug deals going on, a line from the bathroom (where the drug deal was happening), all the way outside the house. We were watching a gothic movie, the lights were off, ppl were smoking lots of weed...... Something in the movie scared me, I began to freak and I couldn't breathe. Obviously I was breathing but I couldn't feel my breaths. They were very weak.... My trip was so bad that I ran into the bathroom while there was a crowd of ppl in there, got naked and jumped into a cold bath. everybody was looking at me and freaking out.... i was blacking out and everyone thought i was going to die. Most ppl left, they didn't want to get busted. My friend ran to call 911.... but before the ambulance came i dipped. my mom didn't know i was doing these kind of drugs and i was not ready to get caught. eventually my trip lightened up and i felt great once again. I could have died that night, and I promised myself I would never touch the drug again. The following week, Thanksgiving day, I tripped for the last time. I was with my friend Stephanie on the beach.... I don't remember anything about this trip. But I remember it was the last time I ever tripped on LSD.

Memories... Now I'm off to get a beer.
