To be fair they didn't specifically say what he saw in the dark.
Night patrol or machine elves. He saw what he saw.
For example, a hypothetical, in low light the LSD has synapses firing so fast that one is very aware of every presence around them. But, everyone is a shadowy monster with glowing eyes. The color of their eye glow indicates their instentaneous level of hostility.
The distortion of perception brings the subconscious to awareness. This is why hallucinogenics can sometimes be therapeutic. But, as the dose increases, so does the effect of the subconscious. Take too much and the perceptions no longer have much basis in reality.
If anyone's reading this and curious, don't take LSD. There's no escape from a bad trip. Try mushrooms instead. I keep a little around for when my head can't reason out what the fuck my heart and ego are choosing.
Listen up, buster, don't you go trashing LSD just because you don't like it. Many people, including myself, have had great experiences that, while different from mushrooms, were just as if not more profound while on LSD
Listen up, buster, I don't recommend hardcore psychedelics to the curious beginner. Neither should you. Start with mushrooms. Easier access anyhow.
Regardless of your personal experience, they are both very potent. Personally, the most gnarly, off-the-rails trips I've ever had were thanks to shrooms. LSD has been much more consistent for me.
This is a weirdly aggressive wholesome argument.
Yeah they both make great points, I enjoyed reading it. I say keep a lil of everything for a rainy day.
Mushrooms sometimes gave me insane paranoia although it never lasted for more than a few minutes. Never had a bad trip with LSD - the badness was always how I felt for a few days afterwards.
I'm older now and I couldn't even begin to imagine doing either one now, but they were good experiences and produced some good memories.
If you had relatively clean LSD and mushrooms, both of which you'd sampled, which would you recommend the hypothetical beginner I'd addressed?
If it's LSD then something's fucked in your supply or you're a unique personality that doesn't realize they're different from the vast majority of others in some fundamental way.
I can definitely understand how some people would prefer LSD afterwards, with experience. I'd advise that person that long term LSD usage, even microdosing for performance enhancement, will definitely have permanent effects upon their psyche. Maybe good, maybe bad. Future them will decide.
I think the issue with LSD for beginners is how long it lasts. Mushrooms lasts a 5-6 hours on a full stomach, 2-3 hours if you blast them powdered on a empty stomach. LSD even a small dose is a 12 hour commitment, add another 12 hours per 1000ug. Source: Took a lot of psychedelics and even more trip sitting.
EDIT As for trip potency, they're both too different and too similar to judge. Similar in terms of visual distortions, different in terms of colour, both very colourful. LSD has a stimulant-like MDMA body high, mushrooms has a body high that's hard to describe. One is an emotional rollercoaster, the other is a different emotional rollercoaster. One has you speak to aliens, the other has you speak to God.
I used to live next to a big lake in Florida. One night while I was tripping, I walked out to the lake and shined my flashlight out on the water and saw hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at me. Figured it was the start of a bad trip and went back inside. A few days later (not tripping) I went back out with my flashlight and saw the same hundreds of eyes. Fucking gators.
Mushrooms can give you a pretty bad trip as well, but at least it doesn't last as long as acid. My advice for either one is make sure you have people around that you love and trust - being alone or being with strangers can be bad news.
Sober, at night, in the desert: Hundreds of eyes, like stars in the sky. Fucking spiders.
I agree.
Also, one can also mitigate the effects with induced vomiting, alcohol, or sleep. A batch of shrooms never has byproducts or laced drugs. If they're particularly strong then grind them up, weigh doses, and encapsulate.
I took my last dose of LSD more than twenty years ago. Everyone shouldn't choose as I do because they're not me. My only intent is people make wiser choices.
Far more important than squabbles over which one is better to start with. I was an adolescent that took what was in front of me while back of car camping with friends, a few acting as babysitters.
A classmate and friend of mine died in 2004 from mushrooms that were laced. Ask with caution if you want to know more, it could fuck up your day.
man the dark itself is a hallucinogen adding LSD and combat must be.... one hell of a trip.
