      ​​@@UnconventionalMarketingOh it sure will, lmao I know from experience. This can completely rewire your brain and change your perception of reality for awhile especially if you took a lot at once. Can even go into a psychosis if you aren't careful best to have your closest best friend or someone you trust with you to help even. You migbt feel like you broke through the matrix and are on top of the world at the time of plateau of your trip and that in of itself can be bad depending on what that perception change causes you to act in bad ways like not being afraid of death which isn't necessarily great. I heard it was one drug they tested in the army or military or whatever years ago and JESUS talk about a bad trip being at war tripping nuts 😂

    I one time back in the day was on acid walking through campus and ran into my academic advisor. He stopped and we talked for like 20 minutes. It was monumental the mental strength it took to keep it together. As soon as he turned around to leave, I burst out laughing out of just pure exhilaration that I had acted normal. He turned around immediately and looked straight at me confused. 20 minutes of cool and I blew it at the finish line. I laughed out loud when Ben and Emil laughed maniacally after speaking with the fans.

I will forever remember that night, it was such a beautiful experience through and through, from the come up, to the peak and the come down. This just reminded me of that, so really, thank you for bringing up that memory.

    Part at 18:20 was beautiful. This whole video reminds me of when I was 14-17, just have moved recently to a foreign country which I didn't speak the language in. Met my best friend at the time and my family situation was a big mess plus I was failing school because of the language barrier, I was spending a lot of my time with him. We'd walk around random cities, go into random high school parties and poke fun at people who were absorbed in life, smoke weed and laugh in the grocery stores at the food. We'd bike for 30 miles, climb abandoned buildings, listen to music, dance on top of the city view and chase girls.
    I eventually moved back, he got way into alcohol and harder drugs and I slowly realized he wasn't that good of a friend that I thought he was. People tried telling me, but I couldn't see it.

      They’re on a very very small amount of acid if they are like 50ug or less because like the dude above me said it’s not easy speaking on acid let alone having a proper conversation

      @@vincentscarfo People can talk and have conversations even up to like 300ug decently fine depending on the person.
      I'd reckon they're at about 100ug, which is a standard tab anyway

    so glad i found this video. i try to stay sober but the times i have done drugs be it weed, acid or shrooms i always ultimately come to the realization that the way i’m living my life is insufferable and that if i really want to feel fulfilled i need to let loose and enjoy the little things more. of course, it’s very easy to slip back in to my bad habits after an amazing trip. i’ve had social anxiety since i was a child and heaps of developmental trauma. talking to strangers often feels impossible. but this video reminded me of the revelations i had in those times- the way you guys were laughing, having fun and not giving a single care as to what anyone thought of you. i think that these are things we should do not only when we’re on mind altering drugs, but just in our day to day lives so we can embrace the simple beauty and joys of life regardless of what others think. thank you so much for the reminder, from today on i’m going to stop hiding and try to open myself up to the happiness and warmth life can bring ❤️
