We're having a discussion on this topic in the philosophy club at my school this evening. If anyone wants to give me some extra resources to read up on prior to this evening, I'd be delighted.

I took a larger dosage than I have in the past, but I don't think that was the reason. For my first 3 trips, I was in a safe and familiar setting, away from the public for the most part, at least during peak. For my most productive two trips (2nd and 3rd), I had chosen to trip alone. For this...

I took my fourth and perhaps final acid trip yesterday. The trip was characterized by what felt like schizophrenic paranoia, awkward social settings (as if they weren't awkward already), feeling autistic and trapped in a plastic box, unable to communicate with the world consciously but feeling...

Report is complete. Thanks for all of your inputs!

Thank you all so much for the replies. I definitely look into all of them, especially the Elkhorn Manifesto. @IJC: Yes.

I'm doing a research paper on Prohibition/The War on Drugs. I have several sources such as Erowid, Horizons Psychedelic Conference videos, The Union documentary, and some other websites. Just curious as to if anyone has other website links regarding the war on drugs.

One of the many invaluable things I've learned from tripping was that freedom is submissive. I think of it like a Chinese finger trap - to force yourself out of the toy is to reinforce the prison, while to release all tension and force allows you a means of escape, of freedom. To further...

Welcome! Is there a pretty good psychonaut community in France? If so, what regions? (I'm obsessed with French language, culture, etc.. lol)

Haha oh man, that was exactly it. But thanks!

Anyone know why I can't send/receive messages? -_- Or how do I contact a board admin about this?

Thanks to all of you for your input. And great link! I ended up not sitting her - I gave her the acid and she did it herself... didn't seem like too much of an enlightening experience (but my first lsd trip wasn't either in all honesty) but she did send me a hilarious picture of an apple with a...

I have a friend that wants to try LSD. She said she had been doing a lot of research on it and thought it would help open her mind. I wholeheartedly agree that it has the potential to do so, but at the same time, there is a ton of unknown associated with any trip, no matter how experienced you...

^_^

It seems that it's very common for people to go vegetarian as a direct result of tripping. I've experimented with pescitarianism, vegetarianism, veganism, and raw veganism over the past 4 years. I have 2 friends that went from omnivores to vegans immediately after tripping and soon raw vegan...

Ah, I really dig this. Thanks for posting. I listened to Circle Takes The Square on my last trip, they're "real screamo" and incorporate some mathcore elements. It was a really interesting experience, the lyrics related to a lot of what I was feeling, and I had a CD blasting of them and used it...

I HAVE had real trips since then. 3 of them. Last June, this June, and last week. Yes, I do want to try salvia as well as many other drugs in the near future.

This thread has been dead for awhile. I'll just add my $.02 in regardless since I'm in the minority in terms of sex. http://www.armageddonconspiracy.co.uk/T ... um(1267783).htm I personally feel women, generally, need them more than men for many of the reasons cited. I think this is due to...

I didn't really need Ritalin. The other medication I was on was making me gain a ridiculous amount of weight, so my doctor prescribed ritalin to balance it out. I've been off all medication for over a year now though, and I have tripped 3 times since. Thanks for your input. It's still a bit of a...

I think we're going to buy 1/4 oz. and split it three ways so we're paying $27/person instead of $40. Hopefully that'll be alright. I honestly have no idea where we're going to be taking them. Haha, yeah, unfortunately little means of wilderness here, but there is a very lovely, large park...
