i smoke weed on the regular, feels good man. works great when i have trouble sleeping, or when i have body aches from working out/being sick/overworked/etc.

i've tried mdma a couple times, it was an enjoyable experience for sure, but nothing too out there.

LSD though, is where it's at. For me, it's the best drug there is. In my experience, it's the ultimate equalizer; a shortcut to understanding. Experiencing acid for the first time was an incredibly eye opening experience. It wasn't so much about the visual hallucinations and sort of physical high, but it was all about experiencing my life free of ego and pretention, accepting and dealing with the past, and meeting my subconscious. I felt freed from insecurity and sadness, and felt as though everything I said and did and experienced after that first trip was for the very first time, all over again. Simply awesome.

Been a user for a long time now. Smoke weed mostly daily... actually been cutting back my drinking lately cause my 500+ dollar a month tab for drinks was getting out of hand.
Coke, Meth, PCP, Shrooms, ecstasy, morning glories and my personal drug of choice Acid.
Coke is a great rich persons drug. You can have a fabulous night out drinking and talking and just livin up the life feelin like a pimp. Not terribly addictive in of itself but the lifestyle is what nabs a lot of people.
Meth has a certain kind of flair that some people really love. I personally hate the "dirty" way it makes me feel after hour 8 or so .. going a whole night at 11 and then looking outside at the morning/afternoon sun while realizing you smoked 2 packs of cigs and lost a weekend to stupid shit is not a great feeling. But it's powerful. This shit is straight up addictive.
PCP is fantastic. Smoke it with a blunt or joint or a big fatty ... just have good people around to keep you in check.
Shrooms I used to love but had a bad trip one night where i could not ignore the taste in the back of my throat and the word "TASTE" kept blinking in front of my eyes in big bright cartoon balloon letters getting bigger and bigger until i puked my guts out. Now i can't eat any mushroom without wanting to relch. Pretty legit drug of the mind.. just don't take too much and DON'T eat random wild shrooms unless you are positive what species it is. That's a quick way to turn off your liver.
Acid... my oh my ... i could go on for days. This and DMT are the two things i've taken that truly affected my mind and made me really think about life at different points in time. I will always cherish and adore the time i've spent on the other side of my mind with the help of good ol 25. IMO the absolutely best drug out there. Can bring you out of depression and is applicable to a lot of mental illness ... BUT .. if you've got any latent psychosis or bi-polar/manic tendencies it has been known to bring that shit roaring to the surface. As always... Game Cat says know your drugs and be safe.

awesomeness

missed this before i posted. Such a great thing to see... other lsd-psychonauts. It's funny because i bet i could have conversations with Nintendoll ... someone i've never met... that i could never have with best friends/family i've known and loved for years because they just don't know/get it. Not sure if this is true for you friend but i've never had a bad trip. Even the scariest most intense experience was always a better time than any other regular stupid day. Always came out the other side loving life.

 

[cashman]

Weed and alcohol. I'm also gonna say hookah because it's exotic. I'm probably gonna try more in the summer though.

Guessing you almost had a "green out". my old roommate has greened out 4 times in total I think. I've come very close to greening out a few times.

oh so that's what it's called? That happened to me twice. The first time I was freaking out, but then the second time I knew what was going on, and that I was going to be okay in the end and I just rode it out. That was my best experience with weed ever.

edit: wait, is a green out supposed to make you nauseous? If so then green out isn't the term I was looking for.

Yup, I don't know why some people have it over others, but it's just when you throw up from being too high. The closest I ever got was from smoking some really good weed on my birthday and taking a few shots. Considering I don't really drink and the weed was really good it fucked me up all sorts of crazy. I literally dropped to the floor about 3 times before being totally fine.

 

[KtSlime]

I've rolled blunts. But never smoked one.

Yeah, I had a bad childhood.

Sounds like it. Having to roll blunts but not being allowed to smoke them is pretty shitty.

 

[TheExodu5]

Smoked weed about a dozen times. Can't stand it. I don't know why I kept retrying, but I'm done. Makes me feel like absolute shit, with some or many of the following symptoms:

1) Heavy heart palpitations
2) Difficulty breathing
3) Short term memory loss (which makes me feel really uncomfortable)
4) Paranoia (this kind of wore off after the first few times)

But yeah, I'm done. Last time I smoked I had the top 3, and I was basically in bed for 4 hours before it wore off. At one point I thought I was going to have a heart attack my chest was beating so hard. From a single bong toke.

I can't even express a single positive feeling I've gotten from smoking weed.

 

[Flynn]

I really want to go to the jungle and do DMT. Maybe I should work my way up.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

hmm, what would you say is better, shrooms or LSD?

toss a point on the LSD side of things. Soooo much better imo. The trip, the come down, taking it is easy as hell and tasteless, easy to hide and it can change your fuckin life. So good.

Are you doing this solo?

 

[TheExodu5]

Are you doing this solo?

No. Most times during LAN with friends. Never done it solo.

 

[G-Fex]

I had taken NUKE at one point. I am glad I quit thereafter.

Now i'm just addicted to energy drinks.

 

[Onemic]

No. Most times during LAN with friends. Never done it solo.

I had those experiences(minus loss of memory....thats just weird) back when I was a weed newbie smoking off my friends shit who has very potent stuff. I think it was back in 2005 when I did it with him(I had only done it maybe twice prior to this) and I was high for 6 hours straight and had all those symptoms you spoke of minus memory loss. I quit for a good 4 years until university came along...

I find that it really comes down to the type of weed you're smoking combined with how experienced of a smoker you are that gets those symptoms to come up. If you're doing really good stuff and you don't smoke a lot, those things will pop up. Once again minus memory loss.

it's like you totally get me, man. but seriously, we really could share in a special kind of conversation that is reserved only for people who know, you know? i've never had a bad trip on acid. shrooms, yes. my gf and i took some shrooms back in the day; we started getting sick to our stomachs and it all went downhill from there. we woke up in the back seat of her car in the driveway holding each other lol

hmm, what would you say is better, shrooms or LSD?

acid all the way. see above, heh.

 

[thezerofire]

anyone with MDMA experience, is there any risk/health consequences to trying it a couple times?

 

[Kapura]

it'll destroy your serotonin levels

I've done schrooms twice and both times were pretty positive. The only negative thing would be the beginning because you feel a bit nauseous. But ya everyone I know that has taken both always say LSD is much better and there is actually a lower chance of experiencing a bad trip compared to shrooms. I don't know why, but a part of me wants to try it mainly for the whole 60's psych craze.

 

[TheVampire]

Only ever tried Ecstasy and Weed.

Ecstasy is pretty damn amazing though.
Its like a whole body orgasm for 4 hours and then there is the music.

anyone with MDMA experience, is there any risk/health consequences to trying it a couple times?

You need to have at least a month break inbetween trying it again for your serotonin levels to get back up to normal.
Those people who do it every weekend at raves must be fucked.

 

[DarkKyo]

Been smoking a lot of weed for many years now. Started after my first year of college. I'd recommend it. I could see myself smoking it for the rest of my life much like how some people are life-long drinkers(though weed is by far the healthier of the two).

 

[Angry Fork]

Never tried any illegal drugs. I don't care about any of them except LSD. I really want to try LSD because of it's reputation but I have no connections and wouldn't know where to obtain it anyway.

I've only gotten drunk once but that's not because I'm opposed to it I just don't have friends and refuse to drink alone since it would be to mend depression rather than personal fun. Tried cigarettes twice when i was in middle school as one of those things you do when you're a kid, made me cough a lot and didn't feel anything so I didn't understand the point of it and didn't try again. I'm in support of legalizing all drugs btw, it's slightly insulting when people who support drug legalization are all labeled as loser hippies. Loser yes hippie no =P

 

[Fracas]

I've smoked multiple times every day pretty much since university started a year and a half ago and have a sparkling GPA and am in good physical shape.

Please elaborate on how "messed up" they get. That is just ridiculously false. Maybe someone loses sight of their priorities or spends too much money, but your description sounds like some mid 20th century propaganda b.s.

I didn't mean personal life-wise, just when they're high lol

 

[Onemic]

It seems like there's a lot of misconception about LSD and I don't know where it's from. My friends who have done shrooms always talk about how they'd never do the stuff because it's a huge step up and more hardcore, but yet every person(literally 100% so far) I've talked to that have done both always say shrooms is more intense and has a tendency to give you more bad trips than LSD.

Weed & Brews

I've had a few blackout experiences drinking with absolute memory loss for a few hours. Kinda strange to hear what you did from your friends the next morning.

Anyone tried the synthetic weed at gas stations? K2 or whatever its called nowadays?

Syrup anyone?

 

[Aesius]

I had pot brownies for the first time a couple months ago. Yes, I had too many. I had tried smoking weed before, but either I didn't smoke it right or whatever, didn't really get very high.

I was out of commission for two days. On the way up the high was alright, but once the full amount that I had ingested hit me, I could barely move. I spent the next 6 hours or so (at least) laying still, hallucinating with my eyes closed, having an honest to god conversation with myself in my own head. Whatever corner of my brain that was still sober was explaining what was going on to the rest of my brain and trying to talk him through it, trying to get him/me to relax, etc. And there I was, listening to the entire thing.

Finally at one point I was able to fall asleep and slept a good 12 hours or so, and once I got up my head was kinda foggy and slow but I was able to open my eyes, talk, etc. Moving was still very slow and my body still felt really heavy. I was only up for another 6-8 hours before going back to sleep. This time when I got up, my head wasn't really foggy anymore although I still felt kinda sluggish moving around. I didn't go to class that day because I didn't feel safe driving a car. For the rest of that second day I gradually felt better and better until the next day I was pretty much fine. I didn't feel completely back to normal for at least a couple more days, though.

People really underestimate the power of marijuana.

I had a similar experience last year that nearly ruined marijuana for me permanently. I had just recently started smoking again (and by smoking I mean small amounts of fairly weak stuff), so when my brother offered a bowl, I accepted. What I didn't realize was that he only smokes very, very strong weed.

I took three HUGE hits, one right after another, and was honest to God stoned by the time I handed the bowl back to him, which was about 10 seconds after my last hit. By the time I made it back inside and sat down on the couch, I knew I was in for a rough night. I could barely move, but I somehow mustered the strength to make it to my bed and lay down.

I spent the next 3-4 hours freaking out because A) I was certain my heart was beating at over 250 BPM and was going to explode at any moment, B) I could no longer form rational thoughts in my head and thought I had given myself brain damage, and C) I picked up a newspaper at one point and realized I could no longer read. Yes, I got so high I lost the ability to read.

It was truly a terrifying experience. At one point I convinced myself I had died and was in hell. I tried watching television but it made no sense to me. The worst part about it was that, like you, I still had a sliver of sober consciousness that was actually telling me that I had ruined my brain forever, and that being high was NEVER supposed to feel like this.

I slowly came back down to earth, and what a fucking relief it was. It took hours just to come down to what was previously my "super high" level of fucked up.

Like you, I was foggy for days afterward. I think it actually took me five whole days until I felt normal again. And now I can't get too high or I start having a mild panic attack.

tl;dr: Don't underestimate the power of weed, kids.

Done both literally hundreds of times each.

Acid/LSD is stronger than shrooms no doubt in my mind.

From what I've tried over the years. To me it goes:

Shrooms = 3 or 4
Acid = 6 or 7
DMT = 10

[Smelly Tramp]

can not stand weed, just makes me paranoid and gives me a huge stomach ache, like i'm either gonna shit myself or throw up everywhere.

absolutely love amphetamines. used to do mephedrone alot, was pretty cool but useless for pulling girls (bad case of shrivel dick).

coke is great, you feel so good on it, but i find it's too expensive for what it actually does to you and your sense of humour kind of dwindles.

now, MDMA, my favourite drug ever.

 

[ReBurn]

Never did drugs. Loved alcohol to the point of addiction. Actually had people give me advice that the best way to get off the booze was to smoke pot. I still think that those people are idiots.

 

[tanooki141]

I've had the same freakout / fast heart beat experience as many others here on weed.

Seems to be a fairly common thing, happened to a friend of mine also.

 

[CTE]

How about the frequency of bad trips?

Only bad trip I couldn't handle was when I did a quad(4 hits) of this "blue hiero". Just constant dark thoughts and general feeling of paranoia. Trees were out to kill me for example. Bad gut rot, too. Sat at some random school in an alcove area staring at the stucco and exploring waiting for it to pass before going home. I was there until morning before realizing it was futile. So I went home and slept it off, but had intense closed eye visions so that made it hard at first.

Had a few incidents on shrooms. Nothing I couldn't get over in a few minutes time, though.

DMT I did for the first time and I was in a bedroom. Smelled and tastes like mothballs. Nasty. The room suddenly expanded to warehouse size. Random radio station was playing an Aerosmith song. The song fell apart and reconstructed itself into a new song. Basically, I was instantly transported to a new world with no rules.

I was with another person that day and she tried it, too. She just lost it. Said she was in a jungle with snakes snapping at her face.

My point is maybe I'm less prone to bad trips because I've handled some intense visions before.

Haven't done anything like that in over 10 years, though.

Sounds like two of my experiences, roughly. Thing is, last time it happened, I only took one small toke from a bong. Like 1/2 second burn.

After a dozen times and no good experiences, I'm just done. Not worth going through that hell again. It's literally the worst I've ever felt in my life. For 4 hours straight. Just...awful.

Lesson learned. If you're going to smoke weed know what you are doing and what you're smoking.

I've done:
1). Weed
2). Salvia
3). Alcohol
4). Nicotine
5). Adderall
6). Opium
7). Vicodin (after my wisdom teeth)

Did the adderall once but I have a strict purely natural drug policy. I want to do mushrooms but the right moment hasn't arised but I've been smoking weed for 6 years now and have been offered cocaine, mdma and Xanax. I was offered xanax last week after smoking a blunt a friends but turned it down.

I hate the 'gateway drug' concept for marijuana. I'm perfectly content with it.

Same experience here.
I used to smoke almost every day for 3-4 years. Then I took about a 10 year break and tried it again. One big hit and I was laying on the floor for hours and hours. I don't know if weed has gotten much stronger or if my body can't take it any more, but I'm done with it.

 

[mysocksarepink]

I've done it all, except for meth. Great times with all. Ketamine isn't for me, I don't enjoy being in a k hole. E was great before I needed 8 pills to feel it... and that would only be a mild experience.
Smoked blunts multiple times daily throughout all of highschool. When I quit I never enjoyed it again... strange.

If I can give one piece of advice: never do pain killers such as roxies or oxies, those WILL lead to heroin... I happen to live in jersey, which happens to mean Newark is a stone throw away from me. Best dope in the country, hands down. However, I wouldn't wish the withdrawal on my worst enemy.

Srsly, its a helluva drug.

I'm sure anyone reading this is thinking I must be a bum, nope! Junior in university holding a 3.4gpa.

Oh, yeah, I cooked crack once for lulz.


Clean now, if you were wondering.

Edit: I've done all of the hallucinogens: acid, dmt, shrums, lil cactus. Also dabbled with research chemicals like the 2s and the mdma analogues. Wouldn't recommend those. God knows what the long term repercussions are!

Favorite: Opana 10mg IR. Strongest opiate in pill-form. Things are hard to come by. Seriously the holographic Pikachu of pills

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Out of the 10 times I probably smoked weed... 6 out of 10 probably paranoia.

Nothing else but alcohol.

 

[Cookie18]

Occasional alcohol when going out with friends and caffeine (Red Bull, I don't drink coffee) every now and then when I have a essay deadline or and all nighter etc. I also tend not to bother with aspirin or anything when I feel ill. I'm sure it'd help but I'd rather just fight off a migraine or whatever I have naturally.

I'll never be touching any illegal drugs, I really don't see the point.

 

[disco]

Done everything. Not worth it unless you have two weeks or so free.

 

[Tesseract]

good to great experiences with marijuana here. i recommend it to any scientist who deals with math all day. lighting a joint after a week of hard, sober work can lead to spectacular revelations about previously thought mastered material. though i certainly won't smoke every day because of the obvious amnesic side effects, i certainly will smoke irregularly into grad school and beyond after important educational milestones.

thanks in part to marijuana i've become a competent pianist, a respectable if somewhat mediocre artist, and an intuitive master of mathematics up to say maxwell's equations.

but that's me, and of course like all drugs your mileage may vary. if you have a well-disciplined mind and aren't afraid of what's in the dark, then you should
probably give marijuana a try. it can enhance your intellectual experiences.

i give it 5/5 sagans.

 

[Aristion]

Only alcohol. Will never do illegal drugs.

 

[Dr Prob]

It seems like there's a lot of misconception about LSD and I don't know where it's from. My friends who have done shrooms always talk about how they'd never do the stuff because it's a huge step up and more hardcore, but yet every person(literally 100% so far) I've talked to that have done both always say shrooms is more intense and has a tendency to give you more bad trips than LSD.

I just think shrooms are more insidious. Speaking (obviously) only for my own experience, shrooms seemed like a low-key high with really weird shit happening on and off in the periphery, while acid is very much, well--you're on acid and will probably be acutely aware of that fact so nothing is going to sneak up on you. But it's different for everyone.

If Dr Pleb abducted me, stuck me in a space bubble and asked: "twelve hours: acid or shrooms? Everything depends on it!"

I'd be like: "Why?" But then: "certainly not the shrooms. Never going back. To that Six Flags Safari."

No way!

 

[shadowsdarknes]

I've done a lot in my day, much more than I'd openly disclose to a stranger, but I am willing to share some insight with GAF. Just a quick side note, those days are long gone however I still dabble with certain substances like cocaine, painkillers and occasionally on very random occurrences will I drop LSD.

Started smoking weed way back before Junior High even. Was 12 when I smoked a joint for the first time. After turning 13, smoking weed became a weekend thing. My friends and I still look back on these days as the good ol' days.

I gave up smoking weed after turning into a total burnout loser blazing the days away before I started Junior year. Not because I wanted to, but because I was beginning to lose my wits, motivation and most because the high flipped on itself. Every time I smoke to this day I get a panic attack.

Took shrooms a few times in High School, my first trip came summer of Sophomore year. Then I took a lonnnnggg break from partying to up my grades to get accepted into a reputable University. I succeeded.

After the acceptance letter came, I went nuts, drinking booze again every weekend just living life to the fullest for my last year in High School. Tried coke for the first time before a High School all night party at this small amusement park with a bunch of friends. It was the best shit I ever snorted to this day. I only snort coke if it's free nowadays.

Very rarely did painkillers until the summer after Freshman year in Uni. Just a warning to anyone wanting to get involved with perks or oxy, just stay away. I started off taking half a pill with my friends until that wasn't enough a week later until I was crushing a pill in the morning so I could motivate myself to drive to the beach for a surf session.

I took it easy on the pills once 2nd year at Uni resumed through sheer mental willpower. You can't sleep, suffer from frequent headaches, and become extremely irritable and hostile towards love ones. Luckily I came to terms with it.

LSD is by far my favorite drug of the bunch. It's practically harmless if you take the necessary precautions. And by practically, I can safely say I have tripped close to 500 hours on LSD just enjoying the hell out of it, while maybe 10 minutes at most of all those times felt freaked out or put off by something. Took a ton of tabs 1st year in Uni and since then I tapered my LSD intake to 3-5 times a year.

I hate extacy it gives me awful side effects.

And that's about it. Alcohol is a given obviously which recently I retired hard alcohol off of my liquor menu. Don't get me wrong, I will still take a shot if one is offered but I don't polish handles of Sailor Jerry's in an hour with one other friend anymore.

Lastly, the only drug I desire taking is DMT. Once I accomplish that, I can definitively say, my experimenting days are over. In fact, my drug binging days came to a close once I took off for Australia to study abroad. Since being back, I haven't fucked with anything but beer and wine and I'm still enjoying the fuck out of life.

LSD though, is where it's at. For me, it's the best drug there is. In my experience, it's the ultimate equalizer; a shortcut to understanding. Experiencing acid for the first time was an incredibly eye opening experience. It wasn't so much about the visual hallucinations and sort of physical high, but it was all about experiencing my life free of ego and pretention, accepting and dealing with the past, and meeting my subconscious. I felt freed from insecurity and sadness, and felt as though everything I said and did and experienced after that first trip was for the very first time, all over again. Simply awesome.

Yeah, psychedelics were a huge influence in me adopting a spiritual approach to life, which is something that I now maintain in their absence. At least for the first few times: realizing a relatively less conditioned state of mind, not compartmentalizing my awareness in various illusory self-concepts, clouding my experience of reality on a momentary basis through an obsessive inclination for discursive thought (and living too much in either the past or the future, etc), or an understanding of profound equanimity (finding a kind of lightness or joy in deep sorrow, etc) were probably the most powerful motivators for me to begin investigating the subject of spirituality at any depth. Just knowing that I could experience life in a way that seems so much closer to a kind of wholeness was huge for me.

I've given up drugs for meditation instead, but there are some similarities between psychedelic drugs and Buddhist meditation (for example). The former is obviously more crude and transient but sometimes that's more than enough. I'm 23 and now plan to become a Buddhist monk... I know I wouldn't have made this particular vocational commitment at this point in my life were it not for my experiences with mushrooms and LSD.

I may/may not have half a gram of MDMA at the moment. Lets say if I somehow took this (ppl telling me bombing it in rolling paper is best option), what would i feel?
I smoke weed, and have done shrooms, truffles and light acid (one tab) before.
Also if i was to take it, how much should I take, 250mg?

weed is great, wish i had an opportunity to smoke it more often than once a month or so.

alcohol is terrible.

cocaine is worse, only try it if you want to ruin your life and/or feel on the edge of complete chaos for a few hours.

there's a reason they call salvia the "nightmare" drug. doesn't stop me from taking a trip every so often. i've seen some of the most amazing things on it.

The mdma how does it look? Is it powder or crystals?

If it's crystals, crush them. Make the tip of your finger wet and put it in the mdma. Mdma will stick to your finger, put your finger in your mouth. This will be 50mg or something like that. It should taste very bitter/nasty!

Do it again after an hour or so. And keep repeating.

Enjoy.

I you have no experience with mdma you don't need 250mg at all. But it doesn't matter if you take everything, but it's not needed.

People really underestimate the power of marijuana.

I had a similar experience last year that nearly ruined marijuana for me permanently. I had just recently started smoking again (and by smoking I mean small amounts of fairly weak stuff), so when my brother offered a bowl, I accepted. What I didn't realize was that he only smokes very, very strong weed.

I took three HUGE hits, one right after another, and was honest to God stoned by the time I handed the bowl back to him, which was about 10 seconds after my last hit. By the time I made it back inside and sat down on the couch, I knew I was in for a rough night. I could barely move, but I somehow mustered the strength to make it to my bed and lay down.

I spent the next 3-4 hours freaking out because A) I was certain my heart was beating at over 250 BPM and was going to explode at any moment, B) I could no longer form rational thoughts in my head and thought I had given myself brain damage, and C) I picked up a newspaper at one point and realized I could no longer read. Yes, I got so high I lost the ability to read.

It was truly a terrifying experience. At one point I convinced myself I had died and was in hell. I tried watching television but it made no sense to me. The worst part about it was that, like you, I still had a sliver of sober consciousness that was actually telling me that I had ruined my brain forever, and that being high was NEVER supposed to feel like this.

I slowly came back down to earth, and what a fucking relief it was. It took hours just to come down to what was previously my "super high" level of fucked up.

Like you, I was foggy for days afterward. I think it actually took me five whole days until I felt normal again. And now I can't get too high or I start having a mild panic attack.

tl;dr: Don't underestimate the power of weed, kids.

Yeah, weed is fucking awful. Most useless drug there is.

Do you have any idea how pure it is? 250mg is ok but you might want to try less if it's your first time rolling. You can bomb it if you want, but personally I'd snort it. Better rush but won't last as long as bombing.

MDMA feels great. its just a euphoric great feeling, makes you really "lovey" towards people, talkative, shit like that.

Im pretty sure I just licked a bunch of it off my hand that my buddy gave me, i was tripping pretty hard on mushrooms at the time so I cant remember how I took it.

Anyone have experiences with smoking Wormwood? I'm simply curious (PM if you want to feel safer)

 

[Gabotron ES]

Shrooms, only once. I swear I saw Dragonheart's movie dragon flying over my cousin's house.

I don't drink alcohol (beer tastes like shit imo) and I can't stand smokers :/

It was a cool experience.
