Who here has taken LSD?

Post Reply New Topic

I took quite a bit in my day, I probably havent taken any in around 7 years or so. I am now 27.. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody else has; and if this can in any way affect AS, or its symptoms.

I went to many Grateful Dead shows and yet managed to avoid it. I didn't like the idea of not being in control of my mind. The last time I took mushrooms a few years back I had an unpleasant experience. I now stay away from hallucinogens.

I never plan on taking them again. I have too much anxiety now. No way I could handle it. I wasnt as anxious when I was younger though. Mushrooms and acid are a very similar experience, though the effects on mind and body are probably different.

I did it twice during the 1980's. It was weird to watch the flowers on the wallpaper grow

I did take LSD back in my years... I took one dose each saturday night for a long period. I was always alone during those trips, walking.... This thing showed me a lot of things about life (like TOM). I can say today i appear a bit less autistic than i did before this. One interresting thing, i never craved it. When it began to no longer show me things, i stopped using it without any problem, and almost said thanks to the substance

PS Don't run to take some, there are way more negative sides to taking drugs than there are good sides, beleive me

I took my first dose when I was 17.I was with some "experienced trippers" and they made sure it was a good atmosphere,I felt safe and didnt experience any off the paranoia I had everytime I tried pot.The part I liked the most was feeling..."love and exceptance of the world and people around me".....I felt I had tapped into the great "Godhead" for the first time,could feel genuine compassion for everything and everyone.I felt a "part of" the world and I liked it.It was explained to me by the people who gave it to me...that it was not meant as a "recreation/escape" drug but to gain inlightinment and I believed every word of it.


For the next 9 years,I only took 1 hit a few times a year and it was in a "safe place" with a "safe person".I would plan out the night in advance,music to listen to,art supplies,lots of liquid.I loved the halucinations and watching the "show" in my head when I closed my eyes.There were a few close calls......"Dont look in the mirror",lol...I watched my face age from 20 to 80 and it was a little scary.(My friends refered to this as the "mirror trap").It was also a little unsetteling watching a boyfriend "morph" into a deer(I looked like a hawk).There were also a few times when I would see some disgusting images,"deathheads and guts and maggot,oh my".I learned to control it by letting the images "pass through" without holding on to them and laughing at myself for creating them.One of the more intense experiences was "watching the movie like reinactment of a renisance period"...I actually was staring at a brick wall and felt as if my eyes were projectors playing the movie I was seeing on the wall...a bit odd.I also recall seeing some very beautifuland detailed carvings in some stone pillars......I was amazed at the time and craftmanship of the carvings and commented on them to a friend,who said he saw nothing.Days latter,I walked past the same posts and realized that there was no carvings....it was just rough natural stone.

The last year of taking acid was when the nightmare began.I was hanging out with "punks" at the time and all my images were dark and scary.I attribute that to the negativity of that particular "scene" and the hostility of the music.The "trips" would start out positive and turn very nasty.It was toxic.The last few times I took acid I couldn't come down all the way.What use to wear off in 12 hours was taking days and I was having problems functioning to even dress myself.I went to the ER and told them what happened and they gave me anti-psychotic meds to take for a week and that seemed to bring me back to"normal".However,the very last time....the DR who gave me the meds said....."You are messing with something that could leave you in a perminant state of psychosis.Some people never come back and it may only take one dose or 100 depending on the perons on brain chymistry.You are rolling the dice and these episodes you have been having are a warning sign that I hope you will take to heart"

He convinced me.I havent taken anysense,though I have been tempted.It's certainly not worth living out my life in a psychward(been there,done that,not impressed with the decore or food )I do think I gained something from these experiences,at least a glimpse of what "peace" feels like.I just think it is meant as a first step,to let you know what to look for and not the best way to get there.

We sometimes get pro-illegal drug promoters who reject legit medication on WP(quacks). Glad we getting some sane replies here.

I used half a dose that was on blotter paper (1/4" square I guess halved). Perhaps about 17 years ago. I had fairly mild positive effects of euphoria. With only the hint of a psychedelic experience.

Those years went by a long time ago, it seems. I never had a bad experience, as I was always in a (perceived) safe environment and with people who didn't try to ellicit bad responses for me. It was actually alot of fun. I felt like a living cartoon since everyone and everything seemed to have lines drawn around them ( this always seemed to be the case).
I don't know if there'll ever be a time in the future for this, since I am now in a profession where that stuff is a definite no-no. But I don't have anything personal to say that was bad about this subject.

In collage I took acid in mushrooms on occasion. Mushrooms were weird, dealing with ppl was rough I had to go for a walk in the woods until they ran down.

As far as LSD, i used to get window pain, i knew a guy who had lots of it at school, i took 2 hits, and got a psycadellic experience, seeing fire, watching things morph, grow, the world seemed happy, peicfull. I never got the whole 'wisdom thing' that ppl talk about, how u can learn stuff from it, i went for a long walk in the woods, and thought about stuff, but dont feel like i have more wisdom now then I did before, its been a few years, i recon ill never do those again, aside from my painkiller medication, im done with drugs, they hamper your life.

Acid , mushrooms ,mescaline ... not all at the same time and not for a few years. I used to quite enjoy the experiences and helped me along spiritually a bit but none of these substances are for everyone and everyones milage will definately vary.

The first time I took LCD I knew that I had experienced feeling like that before when I was a baby.

It all came flooding back to me.

Never have, never will.

I want to take LSD. Also heroin if I ever feel like giving up.

About 50 times in my 30s. Learned all that I could from it and then lost interest in it.
It won't affect your AS or its symptoms, but it might affect your attitude towards your AS.

Oh yes........
one of the many mind altering recreational pharmaceuticals I tried back before I was diagnosed. I thought that I was just a passive-aggressive jerk with anger issues.

But the LSD helped in other ways.

I was taking a bus when it hit hard.... and we passed the same bus stop like 10 times!!

and while sitting in class, (English II) a pencil rolled off of my desk and it took FOREVER to hit the floor.

while sitting on the toilet, I was 'dropping the kids off at the pool' and was 'de-pressurizing' for like 20 minutes.

I'm glad I tried it, but I'm out of my experimental phase now.
