Devolve: LSD | Sputnikmusic

chemicalmarriage 12.10.13	have fun
guitarded_chuck 12.10.13	keep your plans simple, because simple is going to not seem so simple, and actual normal activities may seem impossible just try to relax before and during and enjoy
Riviere 12.10.13	http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/
Devolve 12.10.13	I think listening to Dillinger would be... scary as hell?
Devolve 12.10.13	I love erowid. But I figured some users on here would recommend some good music.
guitarded_chuck 12.10.13	i like soft, upbeat melodies, classics like the beatles are actually perfect, magical mystery tour
demigod! 12.10.13	just listen to rush and floyd and boards of canada
Devolve 12.10.13	I know it lasts 8-12 hours and the afterglow is really long. I wanted to try shrooms first, but they're out of season where I live. I always thought shrooms were more visceral in a way while acid really affects the mind.
Devolve 12.10.13	Speaking of Pink Floyd, I really want to listen to Time especially. But I'm afraid the beginning will scare the absolute shit out of me.
demigod! 12.10.13	shrooms can be pretty fucked man, i haven't done acid but it seems like a more consistently enjoyable experience from how people have described them to me
guitarded_chuck 12.10.13	yeah i edited that comment about the duration cause i thought you were just looking for recs lolol i think the difference is best described in that shrooms force you to look within, while acids forces to you look at your surroundings in a unique light again, i don't know about acid, but the shroom afterglow is honestly my favorite part. you feel so fucking enlightened. and just as strange as the whole experience is, reality and the ego slowly creep back into your mind and you become a normal person again. crazy stuff!
guitarded_chuck 12.10.13	echoes is fun but i had to skip past that weird creepy part 2/3's through :P
KILL 12.10.13	drugsr4mugs
jcismulti 12.10.13	If you can I would recommend going out into nature after you get used to the feeling of LSD. I know it sounds really stereotypical but nature really is amazing when you're on it, well at least if it's sunny out. Or you could just put on some cool music and zone out/talk/think
guitarded_chuck 12.10.13	just don't listen to rush [2]
Mad. 12.10.13	If you don't listen to Hawkwind - In Search of Space you're a fool
KILL 12.10.13	chuck i'll beat ur dick so hard
RadicalEd 12.10.13	Floyd
KerfuffleinaHussle 12.10.13	always wanted to try psychedelics sounds pretty great
demigod! 12.10.13	why wouldn't you want to listen to Rush on acid?!
greencorn5 12.10.13	I like doing shit on 'cid, concerts, festivals, etc. Anything where there is a large group of people who wouldn't know that I'm trippin balls. I hate being around people (even friends) that know I tripping and they aren't. Most usually try to do stupid shit like wave their hand in front of you like "ohhh look your tripping balls." That shits annoying as hell. I am probably in the minority with liking to be in public places so if that's not your thing have some trippy music ready and if you find yourself with tons of energy I like to skate or play drums or hike or something like that. Basically I think the worst thing to do is stay trapped in one room, that shit will make you wig the fuck out.
Devolve 12.10.13	I wish I could play my kit but my house is off limits. My friend wants to see the new Hobbit movie and I feel like that would be intense. I just don't know what to expect since I've never done a psychedelic. We shall see.
greencorn5 12.10.13	I would also recommend that doing acid at least once in your life is a great thing. You will look at things in an entirely different light. It is truly a "thinking" drug even if you feel quite scatterbrained while you are peaking. Main thing is AND I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, just go with it. If you try to fight the trip you will not have a good time. Just go with it man.
greencorn5 12.10.13	Is the movie in the theater? If so you may feel restless during it, like you want to get up and leave or walk around even though you can't. Personally I don't like sitting still for more than a half hour or so. Trippy movies at home can be great though.
eternium 12.10.13	Shoegaze Om Cartoons
qiblas 12.10.13	Ween - The Mollusk The Flaming Lips - Embryonic
guitarded_chuck 12.10.13	LSD and the Search for God - seems appropriate (and not just for the obvious reason)
BlacKapes 12.10.13	greencorn5 speaks the truth as far as music go with anything thats heavily layered
Hyperion1001 12.10.13	i got 87 dollars for some lsd
Tyrannic 12.10.13	HAVVVVEEEE FUN BRO
guitarded_chuck 12.10.13	do not go to the Hobbit agreed i went to gravity during what i thought was the tail end of a trip and it was the fucking scariest (awesome) shit ever
chemicalmarriage 12.10.13	yeah dude listen to shpongle and for the love of fuck don't drive. been there and it sucks ass man. car felt like it was swaying like a boat and my friends and I laughed for what felt like eternity. We didn't get too far.
Tyrannic 12.10.13	yeah yeah movies and driving bad just do tunes agreed hard from someone who's never partooken
climactic 12.10.13	"i like to listen to jazz when i'm tripping honestly. and watch aqua teen hunger force, though some episodes may be way too intense to watch for a first-time tripper" lmao
XingKing 12.10.13	I watched Disney Oceans once while tripping balls and I started crying once the sharks appeared and started eating all of the fish. Make sure you pre-screen whatever you're going to watch and consider any little thing as a possibility of freaking you out
Grooveologist 12.10.13	Personally I think spring and summer are better times to trip, going outside and into the woods is great. If you're inside and listen to music, you will find out yourself what kind of stuff is appropriate for you. Very, very unlikely that it will be any of the stuff you picked above. I wouldn't do it alone by the way and I would pick someone I really trust. It can be an experience of overwhelming richness, but you might also be confronted with things inside yourself that are not so pleasant to deal with. It's an intimate meeting with your subconscience and I can tell you that people you think are fun otherwise can be really ruining it for you when you coincidentally meet them while tripping. Choose a good place and company, make sure the environment's fitting and you'll be in for a good time.
Decay 12.10.13	Dude, word of advice. Don't take drugs, they are lame; honestly.
NightProwler 12.10.13	I've never tried psychedelics, but I imagine that "Close to the Edge" by Yes would be quite an experience while tripping balls.
Grooveologist 12.10.13	With all due respect, but LSD is not lame. I wouldn't call it harmless, either, it's actually pretty serious. But if you're steady enough you can use it to enter some kind of parallel world. Everyone who's ever tried it knows it can not be described appropriately, although many try afterwards. But one thing is definite: it's not lame.
Grooveologist 12.10.13	You're right. First trip means expecting the things that cannot be expected.
Grooveologist 12.10.13	Must admit I never checked the Dead so far... A shame, I know.
Grooveologist 12.10.13	I kinda have an idea... Thanks for the link! I remember a full moon night with lots of clouds in a storm going by. We were standing on the roof, tripping and listening to this. I understand it may come across a bit cheesy as it's actually called trip-hop. But what a night that was ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8Xum7NrlEE&list=PLBA6E68A26EBED593
Thor 12.10.13	go see meshuggah live that's what i did
MosesMalone 12.10.13	Watch sin city, eat ritz crackers and strawberries, walk through nature, take a bath, smoke tons of weed, and listen to Boris.
BlacKapes 12.10.13	word of advice - do drugs psychedelics are my least fav category, i never had one of those "life changing experiences" though but whatever, to each his own
Azn. 12.10.13	LSD is probably one of the safest and most enjoyable drugs out there imo
BlacKapes 12.10.13	pretty sure i did, it was fun but disappointing
BlacKapes 12.10.13	for every time ive done it, either way im not wasting my money on it again lol
demon of surveillance 12.10.13	my only experience with acid was taking two tabs in september, but it was freaky. the full-on high lasted about 16 hours and the after-effects lasted up until about 32 - 36. make sure you dont do it alone, make sure you have lots of activities to do, and ABSOLUTELY do not get lost in your own thoughts too much.
skeames1214 12.10.13	it probably wasn't the amount you took, it was the quality that let you down. I've had good acid and bad acid and the difference is immense. Mushrooms are a bit more consistent, but the potency still varies quite a bit.
BlacKapes 12.10.13	i dunno lol maybe i fucked up my brain from the other shit id done before dropping acid the first time
skeames1214 12.10.13	Yeah, you see life as it is on psychedelics. Cuts straight through your delusions and warped perspective. It's amazing.
Grooveologist 12.10.13	Everyone's different and that's why this drug affects everyone in a different way. If you have a buried psychosis (no idea if this is the correct term, I'm not a native speaker), the acid can bring it to full bloom. I remember having worked on some experiences for months afterwards, as just so many things pop up in such a short time-span. To me this is a very serious, adult drug. It can change your view on certain things for a lifetime. Partying around with it too much without taking time for reflecting afterwards can easily cause mental harm.
demon of surveillance 12.10.13	@ThirtySixChambers yeah definitely much easier said than done but i say that since i got extremely paranoid between 2am - 8am (took at 6pm previous day) and got close to attempting suicide by walking in front of a bus
demon of surveillance 12.10.13	yup. taking acid alone (and not knowing that you wont fall asleep) is a very stupid idea
Skreemo 12.10.13	Listen to Psykovsky, you will trip balls
skeames1214 12.10.13	the people I've known who have had 'bad' trips are all people with profound psychological issues. Being forced to confront all that at once would indeed be a scary prospect. For me, though, and for most people, I think it's an incredible way to do some honest self-evaluation, and to figure out what it is you appreciate about life. Just the way you feel things on psychedelics, ugh. So pure.
Skreemo 12.10.13	"Dude, word of advice. Don't take drugs, they are lame; honestly." Hahahahaha.
skeames1214 12.10.13	psychs are the truth, mannnnnnnnnn no but really
Skreemo 12.10.13	Seriously though if you want to make the most out of a psychedelic trip you should be listening to psychedelic music
BlacKapes 12.11.13	has anyone tried peyote?
skeames1214 12.11.13	First time I tripped I put on The Way Out by the Books and got lost. Probably the most beautiful aural experience I've had.
Grooveologist 12.11.13	A former flatmate of a friend of mine talked him into giving him some acid before he went to family meeting. He took it before he went on a 4hour train-trip on which he already became pretty paranoid. When he arrived he met two dozens of his relatives which had come from all over Europe (they're Russian) and they started lunch with something that contained veals- brain. He told everyone he was sick, fled to his hotelroom and took a sleeping-pill (the guy was well staffed). It's not that he wasn't warned..
skeames1214 12.11.13	Haven't tried Peyote, but I'd love to at some point.
skeames1214 12.11.13	@Groove well he was just being an idiot. Though tripping on a train might actually be pretty cool.
Skreemo 12.11.13	You guys should try AMT
Grooveologist 12.11.13	Yes he was, was his first and supposedly last trip.
skeames1214 12.11.13	Dude, I love you! It's surprisingly hard to find other Books fans on this site. @skreemo what's AMT?
BlacKapes 12.11.13	its smooth as fuck, if you have psychological problems but still want to try a psychh, get it. but its more expensive than acid tabs
skeames1214 12.11.13	Just remembered what it was like listening to Here Comes the Indian on five grams of mushies. Things got weird.
Skreemo 12.11.13	Alpha-methyltryptamine Awesome MDMA-like psychedelic, also legal if you're in UK
skeames1214 12.11.13	@MLP I'll try it if I ever come across it. Never had a bad trip, though. I've had a few rough moments, but that's just part of it.
skeames1214 12.11.13	It was sublime. I like exploring my brain. It's a cool place.
BlacKapes 12.11.13	5g lmao
skeames1214 12.11.13	yeah MLP just take 5g's and I'd bet anything you get a couple of those transcendent moments
skeames1214 12.11.13	my only theory is that they don't fit with the general angsty unproductive mood on sputnik
baldymort 12.11.13	listen to a lot of doom and sludge. sunn o)) and earth are amazing on trips. also id recommend taking it with someone who has taken it before.
skeames1214 12.11.13	@baldy I really enjoy metal while tripping, and I'm usually not a big fan. Listened to Wolves in the Throne Room on my last trip, and it was fantastic.
tarkus 12.11.13	i didnt read any of this thread but none of you know anything about psychedelics and you probably suck
skeames1214 12.11.13	that's a pretty shitty attitude for someone who professes to be a psychedelics expert. You'd think you might have picked up some empathy somewhere along the way.
Azn. 12.11.13	don't trip alone, don't trip with too many people find a solid core of like 2-3 people
Skreemo 12.11.13	tarkus must be a hardcore tripper who combos bromo-dragonfly with atropa belladonna
tarkus 12.11.13	whaddaya wanna know skeames and mhm
tarkus 12.11.13	im a cvnt im sorry guys
skeames1214 12.11.13	how you still have an ego when it should have died on your first good trip
skeames1214 12.11.13	apology accepted tho
tarkus 12.11.13	dunno that sounds specific and subjective, technically everything you trip is simply a product of your own mind so
avonbarksdale221 12.11.13	First and only time I have done LSD was at a house party over schoolies a few years back, I was surrounded by drunken idiots who sent me spiralling into a horrible trip. Since then though I'm a lot more experienced with drugs in general so I would jump at the opportunity to trip again.
tarkus 12.11.13	drunks are irritating on psychs
avonbarksdale221 12.11.13	Especially when they tell you that you are going to die if you leave the house. That shit scarred my mind. Even though none of them had had any experience with psychs and didn't expect such an extreme reaction, it was a really shitty thing to do.
skeames1214 12.11.13	Yeah, that's a really shitty setting. Parties in general kinda suck for tripping. Like Asian said, a small group of good friends is the way to do it. @tarkus you don't believe in reality, then? Sometimes I think I can see it.
tarkus 12.11.13	also as far as first trips or trying a new psych goes im a big proponent of researching the bare essentials to know what to expect (i.e. visuals, other effects, health risks, etc) then dive in. preconceptions create expectations and the way to get a true experience is to get a true experience without bias
skeames1214 12.11.13	people who fuck with people who are tripping are the worst. Like seriously, even if you don't fuck up the trip for them, you're still an asshole.
skeames1214 12.11.13	@tarkus agreed. Luckily I've never seen an adequate description of what it's actually like to trip.
tarkus 12.11.13	i dont necessarily believe in reality i guess, though nor do i not believe in it, i dunno. i exist in it so i live with it, sometimes i have the feeling that with a certain almost undefinable quality one can alter their reality, sometimes not. im here though and thats what matters, though for all practical day to day applications i believe in reality. its mostly when on psychs or during periods of extensive use that these existential crises occur i suppose
tarkus 12.11.13	trippins cool, ive done a very fair share of it
skeames1214 12.11.13	reality is about interactions and the way we process them, I think. You lose your grip on it when you fail to assess it properly.
McBabe 12.11.13	listen to cynic
tarkus 12.11.13	when youre talking about reality you mean the fact that assumedly i am a human living on a rocky planet interacting with other humans and other species and my environment in a long stretch of time called life right? or something smaller? i hate and love talking about psychs cause its so broad and although experiences are shared theyre all sorta one of a kind, each person has their own
tarkus 12.11.13	no never ever ever listen to cynic, regardless of state of mind/being
skeames1214 12.11.13	I feel ya. It is hard to discuss. But yes, exactly. And obviously a lot (if not all) of your interactions are going to come with years and years of bias layered on them. That's the best thing about psychedelics, for me. They give you the ability to honestly assess things and people for what they are. I think you have that innate ability when you're young, too.
tarkus 12.11.13	i agree someone come up with another psychedelic talking point
gypsyrick 12.11.13	Centipede Hz!
Skreemo 12.11.13	Does your mother know you take LSD?
tarkus 12.11.13	good album next point
tarkus 12.11.13	yes she does, no she does not approve in the absolute slightest
skeames1214 12.11.13	@gypsyrick yes!! :D
tarkus 12.11.13	the rents dunno about the dmitri tho :p
LambsBread 12.11.13	"i like to listen to jazz when i'm tripping honestly. and watch aqua teen hunger force" hahaha oh my god that sounds fun
tarkus 12.11.13	whoever said that i agree
Skreemo 12.11.13	Could someone listen to Destroyer Destroyer while tripping and report back if they're alive
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.13	Word to the wise, verify that what you have is actually LSD. In this day and age, true acid is very scarce and it's likely that what you actually have is some kind of hallucinogenic research chemical. Be careful and don't take a large dose. LSD isn't typically harmful but some of the newer chemicals can be.
tarkus 12.11.13	depends where you get it tbh, know your source, trust your source
Skreemo 12.11.13	honestly LSD is a lot more potent than most research chemicals so
Azn. 12.11.13	"people who fuck with people who are tripping are the worst. Like seriously, even if you don't fuck up the trip for them, you're still an asshole." that is the absolute worst. like just chill and let me enjoy myself, don't be that dick
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.13	Potency has nothing to do with it. Potency determines the intensity of the trip itself. I'm talking about negative side effects, delirious hallucinations etc. I've had a friend who took some research shit and had demonic visions for 8 straight hours and wrecked his friend's apartment. Deliriants are fucking scary.
guitarded_chuck 12.11.13	"But yes, exactly. And obviously a lot (if not all) of your interactions are going to come with years and years of bias layered on them. That's the best thing about psychedelics, for me. They give you the ability to honestly assess things and people for what they are. I think you have that innate ability when you're young, too." this is the craziest thing about psychs it's just so mindblowing and hard to understand when you are in a normal, everyday sober state, even if you've had that experience yourself it's hard to even recall those seemingly clear thoughts about reality afterwards. i wonder if that has to do with the drug impeding short-term memory while on it, or simply our egos returning and blocking out that learned information. fuck psychs are crazy. i'm not sure if i'll ever partake again. there is a very good modern-day philosopher who's name i can't recall at the moment, but he said: "once you get the message, hang up the phone".
skeames1214 12.11.13	eh, I'm okay with chatting for a bit. :-] But yeah, they're definitely not something I would do even once a month, if only because I'd worry it would cheapen the experience.
guitarded_chuck 12.11.13	after my last experience i thought that it would actually be mentally / spiritually beneficial to trip every 2-3 months as a time for reflection and introspection; to feel grounded. that experience was in i believe august and right now i'm not sure i want to return to that place, even though a lot of important events have occurred since that it would be interesting to reflect on in that ego-less state of mind. i kind of feel like meditation would have similar benefits as a good psych trip.
skeames1214 12.11.13	Meditation is great for self-reflection, but by it's very nature (you're stationary, experiencing very little sensory input) it's hard to have the kind of sweep-you-off-your-feet moments that a heavy dose of psychs is almost guaranteed to give you.
Azn. 12.11.13	on LSD it's hard to NOT think about shit
Necrotica 12.11.13	I would have loved to meet Albert Hofmann, the guy who invented and first ingested LSD. I'd imagine he'd have some pretty interesting stories to tell, haha
MrMackey 12.11.13	Drugs are bad, m'kay?
ZippaThaRippa 12.11.13	fuck off
anarchistfish 12.11.13	"the people I've known who have had 'bad' trips are all people with profound psychological issues. Being forced to confront all that at once would indeed be a scary prospect. " I'm bad enough with alcohol in this regard so idk how I'd handle something like this but damn do I wanna get my hand on some
SIMBOLIC 12.11.13	I have not for one second regretted taking acid man. Just make sure you're in a good frame of mind and have a buddy with you. Dont expect anything just let it flo
Judio! 12.11.13	Is Mr. Bungle too intense to listen too when you drop acid? Never done LSD before so idk but it just sounds hillarious.
Grooveologist 12.11.13	You will still be able to put on something else if it is.
demigod! 12.11.13	man i cant wait to do LSD, did shrooms a few weeks ago and it was mind-blowing. even if it was pretty scary at times i don't regret it one bit and didn't even when tripping hard. learned so much about myself. i could've made it go better, though... didnt even listen to music, i was too lost in my own mind
skeames1214 12.11.13	Demi! You were the one reccing Black Foliage to that other guy who posted about tripping, how did you not take your own advice??
demigod! 12.11.13	well like someone handed me the laptop to use while i tripped the fuck out, and i indulged on the internet for a little bit til it became too much to handle so i just set it down, closed. then when I went to open it and put on music it demanded a password and I just did not know how to react to that so yeah i just put it back down again and started tripping harder next time im bringing an ipod
guitarded_chuck 12.11.13	surfing the net when tripping is awesome because the diverse colors are so god damn vivid and sometimes you'll see still images start to move and question whether they are actual still or a video/gif :D
skeames1214 12.11.13	Hahahahaha, oh man, I've been there. fuck any kind of artificial barriers like passwords when you're tripping. took me probably five minutes to put a record on last time I tripped. but yeah New Day will put the biggest smile on your face. Def. recommend it.
Devolve 12.12.13	Ah, I appreciate the replies. I'm pretty pumped. I've tripped on DXM before and while that's completely different, I know what it's like to come to terms with the ego and the dissolution of it. It's truly wonderful. As for the people who have said they had fun while experiencing some scary moments, that's just what makes these drugs so awesome. Like Terence McKenna said (paraphrasing), a great experience is something that's fun, crazy, humorous, sad, frightening, and happy all at the same time.
Skreemo 12.12.13	don't know about you but I'd rather avoid feeling sad and frightened
Chrisjon89 12.12.13	listen to some appropriate music or watch the trippy bit from 2001: A Space Odyssey. just don't join a cult and murder any actresses
SCREAM! 12.12.13	I've always been curious about psychedelics but tbh even if it's a good trip 8-12hrs just seems stupid long. Like I'd be down for 1-2 but I'd feel like I'm throwing a day away with something like that
Skreemo 12.12.13	@scream, boredom is the last thing on your mind when you're tripping
Azn. 12.12.13	boredom becomes psychologically impossible
Azn. 12.12.13	"don't know about you but I'd rather avoid feeling sad and frightened" I actually loved the bad parts of the trip too just because all the sensations were so new and interesting
zakalwe 12.13.13	"I actually loved the bad parts of the trip too" You my friend have obviously never had "the horrors" total life changing horrificness that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy and impossible to rationalize at the time.
Azn. 12.13.13	ok it probably wasn't that bad of a trip then
puertasmagicas 12.13.13	how was that Dillinger album? if you really want to go schizophrenic you should have added some old Tera Melos though
Grooveologist 12.16.13	How was it? Feeling O.K.?
demigod! 12.16.13	I had a dream the other night that I did lsd. wanna do it for real so bad : (
skeames1214 12.16.13	demi come hang w/me i've got 5 hits ;0 we'll jam black foliage and play chess
demigod! 12.16.13	ffffffffffffffffffffff holy shit that sounds like the best time ever
skeames1214 12.16.13	it'll be swee. we'll also go sledding obvs.
demigod! 12.16.13	you should take them all right now and go on plug/tinychat so i can watch and observe
skeames1214 12.16.13	demi i have work in six hours I cannot do that. But. But. I will do that later this week . You missed an awesome plug sesh on my bday. :(
demigod! 12.16.13	when was that?
skeames1214 12.16.13	yesterday? technically two days ago. 20 y/o!
demigod! 12.16.13	grats bro, damn surprised i wasn't there i haven't exactly been partying hard past few days
skeames1214 12.16.13	yeah me neither. I came home for break, and I forgot what living at home is like. Raked a lot of leaves, done a lot of late night drinking/plugging.
Skreemo 12.16.13	Anyone tried tripping on Benadryl? asianguy you might like this as you are sure gonna be "sad and frightened" from the realistic hallucinations it would give you. Take about 600mg and you're in for a hell of a trip. Music appreciation is also there.
Mookid 12.16.13	I have on Nyquil before YEAH I'M SO FUCKING HARDCORE
Azn. 12.16.13	LSD has such a ridiculous stigma. It's fuckin endorsed by Harvard professors, and I ain't talking about Leary
Judio! 12.16.13	As are you
SCREAM! 12.16.13	stop feeding the troll man, you aren't helping
Judio! 12.16.13	Sorry bro, he's just so damn hungry that I feel bad for him.
GhostOfPaulie 12.16.13	I propose we gape his anal tube by super-glueing a garden hose inside of it and leaving the water on for the rest of his life - Paulie
