Experiences - What does the LSD high feel like?

[Lyssa]

I'm currently writing an essay on the how the LSD affects the body and even though the technical stuff is easy to find, it's difficult to find detailed information on what the high actually feels like. Everytime I have done acid and mushrooms I never hallucinate, the more I take, the sicker I get, plain and simple. Is this a physical or physcological thing? Or is it just a really bad source? Anyway, if anyone would like to elaborate on the following common comments, I would greatly appreciate it And if anyone would tell me why I can't get more than a body high, well, you'd be my hero.


What do you mean when you say that you can see sounds and hear the things you see?


What do you physically feel like when you are having your best high?


What type of hallucinations do you have? Are the simply manipulations of what is there, colour and shape, or are they of things that aren't actually there?


I'm not sure what else to ask but if anyone has some descriptive stories for me, please share!

Senses crossing is called synesthesia, I think. You
could check that out on google and get tons of info. I used to be
really interested in that when I saw an article about it in Nickelodeon
Magazine in like 5th grade. Ahaha I'm so cool.

It sounds to me like your source is crap. LSD, although it can
induce nausea, will also cause you to trip. I can't really call
the LSD experience "high", since it's not always a specifically
positive experience. Actually, now that I think about it, there's
not a really good way for me to describe it. How distored things
get, and what is real and what is a hallucination depends on the
dose. Also, some things may seem more significant for some
reason. Meh. Go find some acid, then you'll know.

You don't see any pure hallucinations on LSD, but you rather see
reality through a different perspective. You get to see things in a new
way, things take new meanings, the way your logic works starts to work
differently. You no longer percieve the world through your 5 senses,
but you percieve the world and your mind simultaneously and
interactively.

But it's still reality. You can't really expect to go into a place that
doesn't exist, but rather percieve the things that do exist in a new
way. You see everything around you looks good and new, everything is
beautifull. Everything is interesting, you feel like a curious baby who
just discovered the world around him.



as long as you stay away from the dark side.



LSD is not an hallucinogenic, its a psichadelic.

[crazye1081]

i've just recently done LSD....in micodots form, i took three of em. I was always very interested in hallucinations of all sorts. i've done a lot of research on the net about LSD and psychedelics. where i live LSD is not available..it is extremely hard to find one. I used to experiment with ecstasy for it's tiny bit of psychedelic.


then one day a friend of mine got some from europe...the microdots where very very small, like taking a ink pen and putting a dot on a paper..that small, i took 3 of em and sat down on the couch in my friends house. the feeling first came one hour after ingestion, a slight tingling sensation throughout the body, something like ecstasy but not like it..


set and setting is a very important thing when doing powerfull hallucinogens like LSD...u have to be in mental stable condition...because once it starts..it opens, everything in your mind will be amplified, deep fears, desires,....


slowly i started to feel weird...somehow disconnected..like i was there but not there at the same time....Time has no meaning..my conciousness was outside of time to me,


Then the hallucinations came....Man it was the biggest fullblown hallucination i ever had...words on the news paper started to float...my eyes where bulgingout...i was seeing things....patterns and texture on the walls and floors started to move, staring at one spot for a long time started to scare me as my whole vision started to swirl like a whirpool...i looked at the tv to focus again...my body felt light..like i had no body...my view started the wave just like when u are under water looking up to the surface...but only that it is much much slower, symbols started appearing on the walls....


i felt as if the filter of my eyes hav been removed...i just stared and i could see the edges of myview..like watching a movie and you can see the corner ofthe screen..the edges of my view started to have tails of color that change and move..like the tails of tadpoles moving very fasti stand up and couldn't walk properly the room was distorted...i saw the colors change, split...my senses where extremely stimulated....i started to see the walls and floor move and causing friction of sparks in extremely slow motion...like diamonds..shining, it's hard to explain


but one thing i know for sure is that it has answeredcertain phyilosophy questions in my mind...


now i know what true hallucinations are....


it's a extremely powefull drug...physchologically...very powerfull it unleashes the unconcious mind...it plays with your beliefs


for some reason i somehow believe it is a very mysterious drug....it open doors, to the unknown..to the insane...to the corner of the human mind...words are hard to exxplain

Look at your friends. See the gears turning inside their heads ?
Now,look, their faces have red and blue neon stripes on them.
Look at their eyes, are they whiter than anything you've ever seen ? like big glass marbles staring at you. Look at the walls, it's like looking at a "ever evolving fractile"
I can hear my heart beating.. louder and louder
Step outside... everything is "alive" with colors... rainbow "auras" surround everything, people walking by, any movement leaves "trails" and "tracers". Every footstep you take feels like your walking 100 feet at a time (keep on truckin')The cement and asphalt as well as dirt and trees and grass.. all "swirling" with fractile like appearence. The air smells "heavy", almost liquid. Your entire body feels strange... everything is "funny", you can't stop laughing. You try to express yourself but all you can say is "freaky" and "far out" or "heavy man"...You think you are loosing your mind... no, well yes... how long will this last ?



or something like that.


Lay back on my bed, Look at the ceiling and watch it "morph" into a giant clown face, laughing at (with) me.


I don't think "they" make acid like they used to "back in the day".

If you are not getting high from what you ingest then stop using it. Peace

How do I sense life? How can I tell you?


The problem with hallucinations is that they are personal. If I can smell good music, or watch it wafting out of the speakers, it is just what I am experiencing.


If 10 people look up at a cloud, each person will have his own perception of just what that cloud looks like. Now, if I spend a few minutes, describing to you how I perceive that cloud, you still (probably) will not experience it in the same way as I do. So, am I right in my perspective? Yes. Are the other 9 people right? Sure, why not.


Now, the cloud experiment is with something that we both can see, a hallucination (on the other hand) is something that I see, but that you cannot see.


I heard a story about 2 blind people. They each walked up to an elephant and touched it. One said: "This animal is a long, thick hose" (the trunk). Another one said: "This thing's like a tree (holding onto a leg).


Who was right? Well, I guess they were both right. Each one could only experience a piece of the elephant, and they both said what they thought it was. Are they stupid? No. Humans are NOT omniscient (we just know what we know, whether it is true or not).


As I journey through a trip, it is a very personal experience. The only way to (attempt to) re-create my experience is: Try it yourself. But, of course, then you would be a different person touching the elephant: Remember. It's your elephant.Edited by: Solidly-here

Is it just me, or do a lot of you guys get a complete physical uplift when on acid? It never really effects my body but totally changes my mind.

Scrolling through these pages I sense that some people get a real physical high off it. I've never experienced anything like that. This uncommon?

[Solidly-here]

Physical High = leftovers from mental high.


nature_boy puts out the question:"Do a lot of you guys get a complete physical uplift when on acid?... I sense that some people get a real physical high off it."


When I am zooming through the Universe at the speed of light (the best parts of tripping), I am feeling happy, excited (a child-like innocence). This helps me develop an attitude of happiness: happy that I am living in this special existence ... happy that the world is light-years away.


This charged state allows my body to be happy too. The little pains just aren't there (they're back on earth). I sit up straight, throw my chest out. With a wonderful attitude, my body is on fire.


Yes, I get a "real, physical high"; this, in turn, makes my mind more eased, allowing my trip to "kick it upanother notch."


You are what you think you are. I think my body is doing GREAT. Therefore, my body IS doing great. After all, why not use the power of (at least part of) a trip to improve myself?

My physical high dies before my mental high. I get a rush of energy coursing though my viens and cannot keep my limbs still, especially my hands.


That dies down after several hours and I'm left with my hallucinations. When thats all done, I just feel tired and burned out.

[lpalien]

I definitely experience a physical high on acid. When I see
pretty lights and colors, I get these fantastic rushes of pleasure
throughout my entire body. This is right before I peak, I
think. Its definitely orgasmic-like but very different because I
know it depends directly on what I'm seeing. Anyway, its
completely awesome!
