we love your channel & content. and of course I am a fan of psychedlics. you need to understand that by not covering permanent psychosis / brain damage in great detail made this seem too much like a paid endorsement for street drugs. kids lookup skid row, los angeles and you will understand the consequences of unprescribed drugs. this is a blatantly obvious issue that should be understood. in summary dont put unusual chemicals in your body at all.
Lab tested LSD is largely the reason I watch this channel. This incredible substance helped me destroy the illusory boundary between the mind and the body and pushed me towards understanding myself both physically and psychologically. From an obesed and depressed alcoholic to a lifeloving athletic learner thanks to a single trip. I'm sure for some this substance can be a catalyst for something mentally destructive but it helped me a lot.
Another psychedelic relic here from the 60s. I was a frequent flyer for a couple of decades & really only had one “bad trip” & one over dose out of more than 100 experiences. I will say briefly that the first handful of experiences were the most fundamentally perspective & consciousness altering one’s. After awhile, when I knew what to expect, the trips became more routine. Sort of a been there, done that situation. At that point I stopped using as I felt that I had accomplished what I wanted. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I have taken more out of LSD than LSD has taken out of me. I feel that the psychedelic experience changed my life & perspective in a very positive way. I have no regrets only gratitude for the open doors of perception it allowed.
and it came from a fungus??? you arent blown by that idea? thats why i always have this impetus to eat dirt. maybe its the cure of depression or something. when i was still a child, i used to play outside a lot and no inkling about germs and bacteria. i was so active and fearless. now, being so 'well educated', im feeling more fearful and less alive.
Just one trip on LSD significantly helped with my depression. The good internal feelings I acquired during the trip never left me and I now see life through an entirely different perspective
I did LSD a few weeks ago for the first time I don’t know what my dose was (it was just a tiny square no bigger than my pinky). At first it was like weed because I got all giggly and was just in an amazingly mood, but afterwards it became just this euphoric feeling of peace, and listening to music would amplify it. Everything was so beautiful. For me that stuff was to be respected as a teacher of sorts
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.
I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to heroin for over 16 years. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.

It's encouraging to see rational, educational discussions about LSD, such as this episode and the documentary "How to Change Your Mind" on Netflix, which explores the therapeutic benefits of mind-altering substances like LSD, MDMA, psilocybin, and mescaline. I grew up in the era when government propaganda was aimed at inducing fear of using LSD, especially fear of flashbacks erupting without notice and severe breaks with reality. Nothing about "set and setting" and proper dosage. When Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act, they did a major disservice to patients who could have benefited tremendously from these drugs in a therapeutic setting.
@@Whatismusic123 your thinking returns to normal after the trip anyone who says you're gonna get stuck in a trip forever is fear mongering you to keep you where they want you lmfao
@@zlClutchy it's very obvious that your thinking absolutely does not go back to normal lmao. Though it might be due to an initial positive perception of the drug which causes it.
For me LSD or shrooms is a great physical and mental reset. When i feel life is too monotonous or boring. Or the light of life is starting to dim. I feel LSD is a great restart to help you realize just how unique the human experience is. Mixed with nature it is most definitely a powerful eye opener to how connected all animals and plant life are. Its for sure an experience that changes ones perspective on things, mostly for the better
Depression and anxiety were the bane of my existence, I could not be productive working to support myself and my family, it was a very bad experience for me, I received referrals from a close friend to try LSD and when I tried LSD I was saved. my life, I started microdosing it and it changed my life for the better. I have never been so productive and relaxed in my life
Old timer here (69) and I enjoyed both LSD and Psilocybin in the past. Still interested in trying Ayahuasca. Agree that environment is important to a good trip. I started panicking a bit once but had an older kid “talk me down”. I still believe it opened my eyes to other peoples social behavior, tho who knows if was imagined or not. Thanks Justin - Good Job as usual. 😊
I'm just grateful to have survived my insane behavior from those days. Many of my friends didn't or were never the same after their "bad trip". Definitely needs more research before we deem it "safe & effective". 😎👍
Research shows that psilocybin mushrooms have promising results for mental health support, particularly in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety and PTSD.
@@theanatomylab13:00 it's mentioned that its not a ride you can stop.. Not 100% accurate. Double blind study of Ketanserin + LSD suggests that the length of time can be cut down dramatically, check it out if you're curious. Overall, great video
I'm glad to see these schedule one substances being discussed. They were taboo subjects in my teens and twenty-somethings. Not discussed in school. Consumed in places outside the school but not far away. Knowing what they do, I can make informed decisions about them. I've always felt that these substances had medical applications.
I was told in highschool (Davis County, Utah, 2013) in "Health Ed" that, and I do quote from the pamphlet we were assigned to read, "anybody who takes acid just once is instantly addicted for life". I really wish that the USA education and legal system treated these topics more objectively, truthfully, and give the full context of how these things came to be, the history and actual safety of its use, including medical and scientific research into its effects, rather than attempting to indiscriminately instill fear into students' minds.
I've dabbled with LSD for around forty years now. Certainly not regularly but when the opportunities arose. Other than my first time (that was a rollercoaster of fun) I've always gone into the experience being fully aware of what was happening to my brain. I found it easier to control any onset of paranoia or other negative emotions. I'm really happy that LSD isn't addictive. If it was, I'd be wandering around in a rainforest following rainbow pixies, with old-school Pink Floyd playing in my head, lost in a never-ending haze of hallucinations.
I'm in my 20s but used it quite a bit in my teen years, got up to 1mg/10 typical doses. I prefer Psilocybin nowadays but so LSD being my first I wouldn't have it any other way
@@hispoiemaI posted the comment before watch the video and then Justin said that on the intro 😂 in that moment I realized that "Trip" was a better option rather than "interesting"
Yep. We did it many times. This would have been 1974 thru 1978 and it was good. Cheap too. A dollar/ dollar fifty a hit. We would cut classes but sometimes we just went to class. Tripping was fun. I never had a bad trip. Always just laughed the whole time.@@peekzfanaccount314
I think that people who have "Bad Trips" have them because they brought along their own pre-existing emotional baggage on their journey. LSD is NOT alcohol! It is NOT a CNS depressant. It does not make you forget your problems. LSD AMPLIFIES your brain. If you are happy and in a good place emotionally and are surrounded by loved ones, you will have a BEAUTIFUL trip. If you are depressed, sad and surrounded by people that you neither like nor trust, you will have a BAD trip.
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatment Psilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms

Psychedelic LSD trips can be truly life-changing. It's amazing how they can bring about positive transformations and have a profound impact on our lives.
Mushrooms and LSD played a pivotal role in my journey to conquer addiction, and I've never experienced a greater sense of self-control. I'm proud to say I've been clean for one year.
A lot of folks knew Albert Hofmann better than I did. But at the age of 97, Albert invited my wife and me to his home, and we spent a long afternoon together. Albert told us we were the first people, outside of family and lifelong friends, that he’d invited into his home in over 20 years. Made us feel very special, and lucky. Of course, being a longtime fan of LSD I engaged the fantasy of Albert giving me a bit of his stash. What he did, instead, was get me drunk on his homemade plum schnapps. Being a teetotaler all my life, I put that practice aside and drank 2 glasses of his brew (mine and my wife’s, who did enjoy alcohol but the gasoline taste of Albert’s schnapps was too much) and got ore than a bit tipsy. The irony of it all!😂 Our afternoon with Albert and his wife Anita will forever be one of the most interesting of our lives. We spoke of so many things that afternoon, and the time flew by quickly. Albert was a sweet, funny and caring man. I collect art. But one of my most favorite pieces is the photo my wife took of me kissing Albert on the cheek as we stood in his backyard, just before leaving. I surprised him with it, as the big grin on his face reveals. I’m 73 and have continued enjoying psychedelics for over 53 years. And it all started with taking 300ugs of Orange Sunshine - the best LSD ever made, in my experience - in an Ohio state park on a beautiful summer day, in 1970. It was the beginning of my lifelong love affair. As an aside, I interviewed Nick Sand (the man behind Orange Sunshine, who I met at the 2006 International LSD Symposium/100th birthday party for Albert, in Basel) on my now-silent internet talkshow, The Opium Den, back in 2009. The interview can be found all over the internet, posted on hundreds of different sites, and is considered, almost unanimously, as his best ever. It’s over an hour long. Check it out.
I had two trips on Orange Sunshine in the summer of 1970. The first trip was remarkable with its transformation of my surroundings into something other dimensional. Trip #2 was a few months later and was primarily inward looking with the absence of the visual effects of the first trip. The dosage may have been much lower.
I can completely relate to your story, in 1970 I obtained some LSD 25 after the Government cancelled the Orders from Sandov Laboratory and considered my existence was modified existentially permanently, along with the different mushrooms 🍄 I experienced in my formative years.
You touched on something I always tell people who are thinking of taking lsd. You wanna be in a familiar place and like on a day off where you have no responsibilities that day. Your brain is going to be working overtime and you're gonna be on this ride for the next 8 hours. And while I always enjoyed being completely unable to comprehend that tomorrow exists, some folks might struggle with it. But sitting on the porch on a sunny day watching the trees sway in the wind becomes the most zen experience imaginable and I always feel like a new man for a few days after. And while you do feel happy while tripping, it's not a "body high" like alcohol or grass. You have all your sense and can still walk and stuff. But yea I think everyone should try it at least once. It's great
Not intense, but i have aphantasia, so i dont think im prone to the hallucinatons others get. im on lsd right now. Apart from slight waves in vision, i never hallucinated anything other than a hd graphics upgrade. but it does throw you around abit, at first.
@@DSL-33166 The waviness is really all you experience on lsd. The hallucinations you see people get in like movies and shit are greatly exaggerated. It's also the other affects you do it for like mood improvement and how it causes your brain to interact with itself using new pathways which alters how you think
Had some liberty caps (psilocybin) mushrooms last night, picked from Derbyshire UK. Been doing it since 1981, great place to visit the inner landscape.
If you have doubts about tripping again, listen to Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang and some other smooth Jazz from the early 80s and you’ll have the trip of your life ;)
I went to a Grateful Dead concert in 1984. We had no clue about the scene before going. After getting about 20 feet into the line for parking, we were inundated with people selling 'doses'. They'd hold up t-shirts and other products then say "doses'. We had no idea what they were talking about. It was just the beginning of an eye opening experience. We got into a time machine and went back to the 60s.
I can't speak for everyone magic shrooms rejuvenated me, No doubt about that. It lifted an existential angst that I have been carrying for years. It never came back.
My friend said that after taking a small dose a little above threshold but not much he had increased awareness & felt his brain had woken up. This feeling stayed with him for a long time.
I went through a fairly brief period of doing LSD in psychedelic doses on a fairly regular basis. It seems like that's when I started noticing that sound has a taste. I'm not sure if LSD precipitated my synesthesia or if I had it before but LSD helped me be calm and focus on it so I could fully experience it. I can still taste sound when I'm very physically relaxed but actively listening and focused - even though it's been decades since my last trip. It's glorious!
I had a similar experience on acid. It was like all the five senses had become one. My brain went back to normal after 24 hours. I actually lost my sense of taste for awhile after I fractured my skull, or rather everything tasted the exact same nasty stale taste. If that ever happens.. Chocolate biscuits and milkshake are the way 😅
i took many, many LSD trips in the 80's as a teen and in my early 20's. There is a reason I stopped doing it back then and have never done it since. Set and setting and who you take it with are the keys to success with psychedelics. I'll leave it at that.
You were doing it with an underdeveloped mind and it sounds like you still haven't gotten over it after all these years maybe you need a refresher to ease you up
Having a proper setting is important and being with people you trust. I always wanted one sober and trusted friend to "babysit" and I always noticed how if an "outsider" got into our group my mates would slowly disappear and reconvene elsewhere.
The only bad trip I had was when I got cocky and took 4 tabs of lsd at once cause around this time I was doing it fairly regularly and got confident I was just after munching a load of fried chicken which I later regretted my fam where away for the weekend and I had people on the way over to the my house as I was coming up not knowing what I was in for I only knew 2 of them well there where 5 in total all of them r fake I should add I even knew this before the trip and was spending time with the wrong people because I was in a very lonely chapter in my life still am tbf but done with fake people anyway they all got to the house and I was drinking and taking ketamine as I was usually doing around this time because I really enjoyed the combo and had a good tolerance to all the drugs but taking 4 tabs all at once must be like drinking straight spirits too fast cause the more u take in one dose the harder it hits I later found out I was freaking out at the beginning I had hopes it would pass spoiler it didn’t within the space of 10 mins of arriving they had dj decks set up flashing disco lights with the main lights of as u can imagine as your starting to trip not even hitting the full peak with drink in your system ketamine 4tabs of acid and two fat ass chicken burgers I was feeling pretty ill to say the least my surroundings where changing to fast and there was too much too process i surprisingly didn’t throw up and my personality kept changing from a scared child to me thinking people had issues with me and I would have random outbursts of anger most of the night I sat in the other room by myself freaking out feeling like an outcast I saw a demon on someone’s face I believed people had false conspiracies about me that weren’t true but it was freaking me out so making me give off the impression they where true I was caught in a time loop I kept having flashbacks as I entered and left a room or different things happening thinking this has already happened before I remember thinking time had passed fast thinking it was 6 in the morning when it was only 12-1 wishing the night was over there was an mma fight we where watching and at one point there was football adds which people later said they never remembered seeing and I remember seeing things boxed off in it saying things like stay asleep wake up it’s a lie and all this which reminded me of when he puts on the magic goggles from they live which is also funny cause I saw a demon on a guys face aswell I remember seeing these odd lime green patterns with smoke rising from them am just remembering now it was around halloween time how did I forget to add insult to injury we where supposed to be going to a rave which would have been a blessing because I just wanted these people out of my house I asked them to leave at one point but they just brushed it off and that was hard to do because I had to announce this to 5 people only two I properly knew and my anxiety was off the charts they aren’t the worst of people but they r far from the best and they r fake it was a scary night I just gave up and went on a depression walk by myself feeling like a loser came home went upstairs and sat in the hall next to my room trying to hear what shit they where talking about me listening to a party go on in my own house place was a mess by the end of it spiled drink all over the floor smashed glass random shit before this all even happened I wasn’t even in the best headspace things r better now but that night was a nightmare I was so scarred that night I thought I fucked my head up for good and I would never be the same again I’ve only recently blocked them and now have no one for now which is hard but am at peace now glad to be away from them types of people and I hope I never go back
The first time I took lsd I think I took about 300-400mcg I went through all the experiences of acid ! The come up , auditory & visual effects, time standing still , thought 💭 loops , oneness with the universe, ego death ☠️ etc ! I recommend everyone do it at least once in their lifetime under supervision and safety of course!
There are substances used as 'trip killers' which can rapidly reduce the impacts of psychedelics. So having something like this available can be a good idea if one is fearful of a 'bad trip' and being able to have your trip sitter give you the 'antidote'. Saying that, the so-called 'bad trip' experiences are usually the ones which teach you the most.
This shows me why I always feel more comfortable in my body when I take LSD...which I took the first time when I was 12 (1968). I have NEVER had a "bad trip", but then I have faced my shadow self (and that of those around me) my entire life (long story) from a very young age. It is about time that these drugs are finally becoming "normal" in this world. Alcohol has absolutely NO benefits for the body/mind/spirit, where psychedelics do.
True, true, i dont need lsd to see shadows on the cave. but, uh, im takin lsd till i run out, and i dont think ill have a bad trip(tamine), cause i'm kinda invincible to its effects..long story
It's been 3 years since I tried LSD or DMT, can't find a plug anywhere in my area. Back then doing DMT, We used one of those vaporizers with the big bags. The first time I didn't do enough and I just seen shapes and colours. But the second time I managed to get another hit in before I got the light headed. I remember floating above the country side flying and then all of a sudden I zoomed down into a deer and went right inside of it and I was the veins and the blood and flowing through this deers body. It was very strange lol
In the LSD experience, we are aware of being more our self and less our self (and this can be actualised, moment by moment during the trip) then we're ever capable of experiencing without the mind expansion that LSD provides us. The work that is done, (that is; mentally spiritually emotionally) is so “individual" a thing, but the final effect can be understood and acknowledged amongst the community of others who have taken a trip on LSD. I think that makes sense, I tried to say it in a way that others who haven't taken LSD may understand. I hope I was successful.
I have taken LSD 7 times in the last 10 years and it has done wonders for my mental health every time. My first dose was approximately in the 25 mcg range. I didn't really know what to expect, but everything just felt very intense. Once I passed the peak of the trip, I found myself enjoying a video game like I never had before. About a month later, I tried something between the 50-100 mcg range. This had a profound effect on me. For the first time in decades, I felt connected to the world instead of feeling detached. For weeks after, I felt more present and eager to engage with life. I took walks, I went to my local coffee shop and chatted with people, and I started eating healthy. LSD is hard to find, so those effects eventually wear off. I sincerely believe that a trip every 4-6 months would have a tremendous benefit to me. A decade later, I took LSD with the intention of examining and getting rid of bad habits. This lead me to quit smoking cigarettes and discontinue my habit of getting drunk every weekend. LSD is certainly not for everyone, but it should without a doubt be available with a prescription.
@@Marcin_Trojmiasto Your comment doesn't make sense. All the LSD that has ever existed was synthesized. There are numerous new drugs that mimic the effects of LSD, perhaps these are what you're referring to? Real LSD is still being produced, although it can be hard to find. What has changed over time has been the potency. Since being popularised in the 1960's, "street" LSD has become approximately 10% weaker with each passing decade.
From personal experience, I've had very positive experiences from LSD, but that by no means it is for everyone. Mental state and environment are a HUGE part of what you will get out of the experience. In the depths of a bad part of my life I felt they really helped me think of things differently. However, I can't stress enough how much your environment matters.
Please be very careful with this drug, I used to watch videos like these when I was young and it sparked my curiosity to the point I went out and bought it to try it (I had never even drink or smoked yet). I only did 100mcg and I was not prepared for this at all, I was too young and not just not ready for such an experience. After blacking out, convincing my self I was dead and a whole bunch of other stuff I probably shouldn’t talk about, I finally came down after tripping for 2 days straight almost. It took me over a year to feel normal again and completely ruined my education as I couldn’t focus on school anymore due to bouts of depersonalisation that I had never experienced prior to taking it. Please be careful all.
@@JHeb_ This is the conclusion I came to as well, upon trying it a second time 2 years later. I only dosed 50mcg and still had a full trip, with extremely visual OEV/CEV’s, synesthesia and intense patterns / hallucinations.
@@side3672 Im on thc and lsd right now, but just a little bit, like lennon said, he did it 1000 times, but then he had to rebuilt his ego back up, well, little difficulties, he worked that out. Lsd is always such a great feeling, when paired with weed, art, colors, i mean, its top notch, grade a, etetera. funny too, meets all the requirements, the first ones good. the second one good. everything funny,...and interesting, a little too interesting, but just enough.
A SWIM I knew had experiences long ago with microdosing LSD. That meant dissolving a blotter piece into almost 2 oz of water and dispensing a teaspoon of the water as a dose of approximately 17 micrograms (ugrams). That dose was discernible as a feeling of energy, of internal vibration, not unpleasant. It was definitely not the head-space stimulation of coffee or tea. This was a microdosing trip report, on a shallow physical level. The mental effects, seen over time is an increased awareness and sensitivity. No disadvantages were noticed. This was never done for more than a week in a row. i there was no feeling of "missing" when the microdosing ceased. Thank you friend for your clear observations.
This drug propelled me into obsession with understanding and defining the boundaries between the physical and metaphysical from a scientific-meets-occult standpoint centered on telepathy, and ritual effects, but as a teenager... so I went crazy for a few years. I'm glad I did it then, but I'd never do it now. It permanently imprinted coping mechanisms centered around creativity for me, and I overcame clinical psychological disorders in the process at the expense of my capacity to tolerate group activities. I crave the sense of isolation that it brought. There is no loneliness there.
@@Atomchild Love to hear that brother. I am digging the name btw, atom child. It's what we are aren't we? It's a heavy subject with AI on the horizon, been thinking about it alot.

Psilocybin containing mushrooms save my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit
Yeah. More people should try psychedelics. Not only in a medical environment because in some countries they are illegal. But with the right set and setting they can do wonders.
Colors you can taste, tastes you can see. I had many great experiences with it until I didn't. One bad trip set off anxiety that took almost a decade to truly subside, maybe I could've sped up the healing process with therapy, but I avoided it. Despite that, I am generally happy that I had all the experiences I did, even the "bad" one. You don't need me to remind you that it is wise to consider dosage, set, setting, who you're with, and so forth, so I won't. Mainly I hope that this substance, like many others, gets declassified so we can have more research and create ways for people to experience it while knowing that what they are taking is clean and accurately dosed.
Great points. Everything can be perfect for a "good trip" and still turn out bad. Very unpredictable. As a teenager in the 70's, our stoner group all dropped the same batch. We all had a blast except for one guy. He was never the same.
@@timdaniels2100 When I was in a community college back in the day, our very small class had the coolest professor. He wasn't much older than us but seemed very worldly and full of deep insights into life as we were experiencing it. He also had the most beautiful, charningly confident girlriend you could imagine who was also a student in our progressive class. The girls in the class lusted after the prof and the guys after his girlfriend. As the semester wound down, we had a class party. I brought some acid I obtained regularly from a source in a local univeristy lab. I gave some to about half the class who were interested including the prof and his long time girlfriend. The prof outdid himself with his entertaining, witty manner and dominated the party atmosphere keeping our attention on him for much of the night. A couple of days later when we met up for the final class, we all talked about how great the night had been with everyone having very different but very favorable takes on what they experienced that night. Except .....for the prof and his girlfriend. She was not there but had told her friends there that she wanted nothing to do with the prof, the class or even most of the students. Apparently, when they got home after the party, something pretty terrible had happened. The prof acknowledged as much and that it was his fault. He told me later in that final session that I had given him bad acid which he believed was the cause for whatever unmentionable thing happened. He definitely was not naive about acid and previously reveled in his status as being more exprienced and with more understanding of how to use psychodelics for personal benefit. The girl left the college and the prof left the profession. We never saw either one again leaving all of us with no clue about what had transpired. That outcome was one of the strangest things I ever experienced. Of all the people I sort of kept an eye on duirng that party, they were the absolute last ones I thought might possibly need a little attention of any kind. For me, that period of taking acid ended forever a previous life of extreme, life destroying alcohol abuse. However, when it comes to acid....you just never know.
@@timdaniels2100Exactly I actually use this example all the time. If a group takes a trip, one is highly likely to have a bad experience. I tripped dozens of times successfully on mushrooms and eventually overdosed and went way out of myself for 8 hours. Took a year to fully recover, had to beat a panic disorder after that. It was in my favorite place I had ever lived, with my best friend and brother. perfect environment can't stop a psychosis
@@fucuszullanti7877If remembering correctly. Its a part of a really bad trip. To the point where you are legimitely feel like you are dying and your life is ending, even though nothing is wrong with your body...and its not just something you can stop thinking about or you just get over it.
Beneath the cosmic curtain's sway, A journey in hues, both night and day. LSD whispers, kaleidoscope dreams, A dance with thoughts, where reality gleams. Ethereal swirls in the mind's expanse, Sensations cascade, in a cosmic dance. Colors converge in a vibrant ballet, Reality's edges begin to sway. Time unravels, a fluid stream, Lost in a trance, a waking dream. Mind and cosmos intertwine, Boundaries blur, the divine align. Surreal landscapes, a mind's creation, A symphony of senses, pure elation. Eyes wide open to the unseen, In the LSD realm, where thoughts careen.

As a person who suffers from negative effects of bipolar disorder (including psychosis), while being resistant to antidepressants, I have been fascinated by the available research into psychedelic experiences and their benefits to various mental disorders.
I have bipolar II; when I was younger, I did not know it and was diagnosed with Dysthymia, which is chronic depression. They put me on Prozac, and I took LSD while on it and had some fantastic trips. Once I found out I was bipolar, they put me on Lithium, and you can not take the two together, or you may have seizures and/or die! So, it is imperative to look up drug interactions before taking it; I say this to anyone taking any medications/drugs!
Please do not fuck around with psychedelics if you have pre existing psychosis... Abuse of LSD, MD and RCs nearly sent me into permant psychosis and hospitalisation long ago
My first trip was great. I didn't overdo it and also smoked a bit of a joint along with the acid. It was amazing, I was laughing at everything and time just took FOREVER to move. It felt like HOURS have passed, when in reality it was only a few minutes. I heard things in my favourite songs that I've never heard before and making love felt incredible. Then, the second time, my brain started to trip too far and started wondering where do we come from, where does the universe begin and end and what is there after that "end". If there is a forever end to the universe, then is there a forever end to life and to energy and so, what, once we die, will we inevitably stop existing forever and crazy shit like that. I had panic attacks for over a year after that and had those famous "death obsessed thoughts" and it was terrible. That was more than 10 years ago and honestly I've been scared to trip on acid ever since. I fear psychedelics because it's like you never know where they are gonna take you. And if you smoke a joint that was too strong, you can have a bit of a bad trip for 30-60 minutes and that's it. You drink some pepsi, have a good sleep and laugh about it the next day. Whereas with acid, that shit is not gonna let go and have you, possibly, bad tripping the whole night and have you wake up crying the next day. I understand not everyone's experience is like mine, but man, sometimes a "let's have some fun" thing can end up being really hard on your brain. Just be mindful of that.
yeah LSD kinda works in a way where it just starts a "feedback loop" with your feelings and thoughts. What feels nice, feels good, feels great, and on and on, because you're "hyper aware", or focusing a lot on how good that sensation feels. If something slightly bad happens, it can also send you in this feedback loop. Sometimes nothing even happens, a mere thought, or memory of something, can send you into a panic attack (this can of course also happen when you're sober, but lsd facilitates a lot). That's why I don't like to mix weed and lsd, as weed makes me slightly more paranoid.
I have had several terrible trips off of weed alone where for an hour or longer I feel electric shocks going through my whole chest & abdomen which was almost enough to make me quit although instead I’ve just cut back a decent bit. I’ve had 2 bad trips off of psychedelics, once was when I showed up to a buddies place already on them and there was a whole different set of people there that were supposed to be there-including someone I didn’t really like and the music started seeming louder to the point where I couldn’t hear people then the wifebeater shirt I was wearing felt like it was suction cupped onto my body- my senses became hypersensitive & I had to sit on a staircase trying to calm down although I was losing it which lasted 30m-60. BUT THEN Off of 3.66g of trinity mushrooms(one of the most potent out there) along with smoking a high potency cannabis called AlbinoZilla I had an experience which felt like no other BY FAR. I felt like I was in a totally different universe tho I was just at home with my mom & sister. I had an extreme heart rate, gasping for breath, not understanding anything, my own family scaring me left & right bc of how frightening they looked, I also was convinced that they were trying to kill me with poison or something considering and didn’t want to eat what they were giving me- I tried biting an apple and immediately spit out bc it tasted sooo sour. I practice regularly in something called ‘yoga nidra’ & my mom tried putting the headphones on my head and getting me to do the practice but the sounds were so overwhelming that I threw the headset off and a bit aways. This lasted tho gradually got lessened through a course of four-ish hours. I’ve had realizations off of shrooms before but this was much more extreme. I genuinely thought 100% I was going to overdose. When I looked at my mom it kept looking like she was bawling her eyes out so I thought she knew I was a goner. I also forgot to mention that once I started tripping I went downstairs to the basement which is my room and within a minute or so I was sprawled onto the side of my bide in a super awkward position but I felt like I couldn’t move. I’m also asthamatic and could not find my inhaler although I never use it anyways unless maybe long distance running. The thought of smoking weed everyday which I do along with my inhaler and the prescription bottles I have from past medicines in my closet made me feel like a fucking loser & just a test patient to the companies. Let me add too that before this all went down, I was about to longboard downtown to watch the sunset, if not home- I think I would have died or atleast bin arrested bc I felt out of control. Long story short, hah, be careful, seriously, anyone.
Switch to mushrooms, my friend. Obviously you still won't be insulated from the bad trip possibility, but mushrooms (to me) offer a more organic and personal experience. I have had a bad trip on a standard dose of mushrooms, one out of maybe 10 trips in my life. And the only reason I could come up with for it's origination was that I rushed the experience. I had a 4 day weekend coming up and so I planned to do it then, and forced it up on myself. Traditionally, I wait for that calling, the urge to dose. I strong armed myself into dosing when I wasn't ready, and I suffered for it. Overall I enjoy the effects of mushrooms more, and the shorter duration of 4 to 6 hours makes it a better weekend drug than LSD. Although in my younger days I definitely enjoyed LSD
I can genuinely say that mushrooms have erased my fear of death. I dont WANT to die, but Im pretty excited for the experience. Still, I dont want it to be horrible. I guess I realized I've only ever been scared of the how and not the actual result. Acid makes me feel like a robot who's been fully activated and cant handle consciousness. I take that more as the subconscious ideas of natural vs man made drugs but still lol wild substances
@@dirtysploof5890 couldn’t be me, mushrooms kinda did that to me but as I had a very serious trip it just showed me how amazing living/life really is & I never want to have to let it go- esp leaving my family/loved ones behind
I don't know if you're taking requests, but I really like this series on how drugs interact with the body. I'd be interested in understanding some of the lesser known drugs, like Krokodil or desomorphine as well if you ever get around to them
@@theanatomylabKratom would probably be a good choice giving how widely available it is now, and being advertised as an “opioid substitute” and used by a lot of chronic pain sufferers that have been pulled off prescription drugs that helped them. Where I am, you can literally buy it at gas stations (Virginia), and it’s almost always on huge display at vape shops (usually a whole wall dedicated to various forms.) I tried it a few times back in the early 200s, but it was hard to get then and I cannot verify that it was anything good. Personally I never got anything out of it (I was hoping for help with migraines.)
Desomorphine it self is not dangerous. It was used to treating pain 1950 in Germany. Krokodil is desomorphine made from codeine, solvent and other chemicals and is dangerous because it contains very toxic substances besides desomorphine. I tried pure desomorphine that i ordered from chinese chemical manufucturer and it was really effective analgetic.
I only took lsd twice back in the 60's the first time I took 3 1/2 hits. I had no idea what I was doing. Had an extremely harrowing trip. Was taken to the psych ward because no one knew what to do with me. For years I couldn't even talk about it without being terrified of the memory. Over time (years) it lessened and I was finally able to calmly reflect upon my experience. This is somewhat a cautionary tale and with that please use care. I've heard about ppl using a trip sitter - probably would have been helpful...but it was the 60's 🤷♀ Now the upside. Today I consider it one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I wouldn't trade it for any other experience. It's taken years to unravel the symbols and metaphorical language of my lsd trip. I'm lucky to have lived through it and come out the other side. I was told later that the tabs I took were extremely potent by folx who had only taken one.
@@FranklinDiverse-lm6mjI can't find a source anywhere for any good psylocybin in my area , I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance , I felt free , the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released , that's exactly what it did
A lot of positive comments on here, and I'm glad you guys had positive experience with psychedelics, but I'd also like to point out that it definitely damaged my own personal mental health, and it is not the end all be all for mental health treatments. It's just like any other drug. It can mess you up. Same with weed. Telling people psychedelics and weed are just so amazing and not at all harmful is the opposite of harm reduction, which is what we should aim for with honest, straightforward, and factual information, presenting all benefits and risks.
Yea, another veteran flyer here. Thanks for being real about the drug. My experience has been that the bad trip issue is , every time Ive encountered it personally or in a friend, has been due to allowing oneself to get stuck in their 'anxiety closet'. The thing is the person has more control of their mind than they realize and can steer their attention away from that place into the wider experience. It may take the help of a trusted, more experienced user. Especially early in the trip. Beyond that I have to say my introduction to it helped me grow and understand aspects of . . . thinking and the universe I am thinking in that would have not come for a very long time otherwise, if ever. And as others have said, It kinda told me when I had gotten about all it had to show me. At least foer a very long time. Around 50 It may have been worth a trip to reevaluate life from that perspective again. Not an easy thing to find at 50, in my experience. My trusted friends just arent connected anymore.
Psychedelics have helped me with my addiction issues more than anything else. After 1 dose, for the next 2 weeks, I don't drink, smoke, snort, or do any kind of drugs whatsoever. It's not a cure all but it has helped me more than therapy, psych meds, or AA ever could.
Another really important aspect of psychedelic research, in my opinion would be the dangers of combining multiple serotonergic drugs. Especially MAOI or SSRI with a/multiple serotonin agonist(s). I would love to see a deep dive into the function of serotonin (physiological and psychological) and the effects of improper serotonin function in the brain. I believe this field of research may help us find better alternatives to currently marketed antidepressants and anticonvulsants. There may also be other experiments involving radio labeling of psychedelics to trace neurological and metabolic pathways contributing to different physical and mental illnesses. Similar to the radio tracing of the human 5HT receptor system using radio labeled NBOMe in the early 2000's, hopefully with a higher incidence of safety. Thank you for putting out truly educational videos where I always manage to learn something, even in subjects I am passionate about.
While I certainly don't want to dismiss anyones experience regarding psychosis or other mental health conditions after LSD consumption, I would like to remind everyone that population studies (regarding the "classical" serotonergic psychedelics) have not found an increased risk of adverse mental health outcomes, with some even showing improvements. Would have loved a discussion on how these findings can be reconciled with the anecdotal reports from users and clinicians. Great video guys!
@@DBPCINC Of course! Just didn't want to clutter the original comment, here you go: DOI:10.1177/0269881114568039 DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0063972 DOI:10.3389/fpsyt.2019.00896 Disclaimer: as medicine is not my field I can't vouch for the quality, but I assume it is hard to mess up population studies. (edit: 1 and 2 are by the same authors, but using different datasets)
I personally had a very positive experience with very positive mental effects that lasted for at least 2 weeks. It brought me a newfound appreciation for life and made me realize how beautiful the world and art is. I definitely am now more at "baseline" though, about a month later (from the 9th of September to now). One positive is that I don't seem to experience super depressive days anymore. Just neutral. I expected it to be more... meaningful or spiritual? It was mostly recreational and I didn't have much complex thought. All my senses were heightened and music was immaculate. I also expected a greater amount of visuals, maybe it's just limited at 100ug. Probably going to try again next month. I think a 2 month break is fine.
A lot of anecdotes are lies, especially when they came from or parallel the statements of the DARE program. Notably they overtly lied in their marketing.
Psychosis comes through learning about new stimuli and your brain being unable to cope with this stimuli. Drugs can force a person to experience these stimuli to cause a chain of events in the brain to allow a phenotype to show, so if a person was destined to be shizophrenic, the drug would allow the person to experience symptoms much sooner, therefore leading the person to live schizophrenic afterwards with medicine to help. This is sadly not the norm and only happens if the person taking the drug has underlying mental health issues that aren't treated prior to the drug being taken. Thats why a lot of people enter a fugue state on lsd, because they cant process their emotions so they lash out on everything around them. This has been studied to occur on people who dont have mental illness as well, but the bad trip can force a person to have ptsd about what occurred and that is a form of mental illness. Basically, dont mess with drugs if your brain chemistry is already altered in some form through birth or current drugs being taken.
2 days after taking acid, I had my first epileptic seizure. This led to over a hundred more in the years that it was affecting me. I am currently 6 years seizure free, however, psychedelics also have the ability to shock the nervous system, and can lead to other disorders. While I agree that they can be used for good things, my experience with LSD nearly killed me
It’s really interesting to hear how this drug affects our brain chemistry. I took this drug recreationally without understanding the effects it would long term. Ive had both good and bad experiences with LSD and sometimes feel like i am still recovering from the bad. The good was great but the bad is traumatic. It’s very true how this drug makes me become more self aware and even after three years of not taking LSD sometimes i feel like im still in that state of mind when i get panic attacks. I enjoy learning more about the effects and experience though and am happy that more research is being done so that this drug can be distributed properly and safely. Thanks for sharing
Yeah mushrooms started a lifelong problem with panic attacks for me and I know many other people with similar experiences. I've learned my triggers and how to control them and one thing is that I basically can't smoke weed ever again due to mushrooms as it can lead to very bad panic attacks as it can give me the feeling of losing control of my mind like what happened to me with mushrooms. I would say people need to be very cautious with this stuff. It's also really weird but you can clearly see fake posts from bots that keep repeating the same positive experience with an interchangeable condition that was cured, but the rest of the post will be word for word exactly the same. For some reason someone is wasting time trying to push mushrooms with bots, which is bizarre.
@@Steezicus i used to trip way too much. And i have a similar experience with weed now. I just started smoking again like a year ago but it makes me pretty much trip now.
This was very interesting. Thank you for the info! It would be great if you followed up with videos on both ketamine and psilocybin as they relate to mental health and compare with lsd and traditional methods. Fascinating subject, the brain. 👍
Great content as usual, All I can say is be very careful with LSD especially if you have any mental health struggles. I've had anxiety and depression for years and I ended up with what was likely to be drug induced psychosis. Took me over a year to come right again. Also have recently been diagnosed with ADHD (one of the innatentive types) And I think that likely had an influence on the trip that became a nightmare
@@gemoth65 I respectfully disagree haha. If you were to hear the full story it seems ADHD was a likely contributing factor. But the full story is very long and relatively complex. Have been writing a book on it though, hope to finish it in a few years, and hopefully can help others prevent further psychological suffering
I've never tried LSD but having taken a herioc dose of psilocybin before, it can definitely have potential in helping with a lot of mental issues. I dosed this high when I was at my wit's end, hoping to smash my own ego and allow myself to truly see myself for who I am, flaws and all. Needless to say, it did work. This experience is by no means fun, but that's part of the reason I personally like psychedelics. A rough trip is a learning experience to grow from.
@KahsisgLeiusgsj stop with this scam BS. In the state where I live, there's a city that has legalized certain psychedelics so there's no need to do that anyways.
My aunt was 14 when she took her first hit of acid, in the 60s i think. It put her in the mental hospital for a decade or so after and she was never the same after. She even remembered what she was like before that happened. In my opinion, it reacts differently for everyone. I stayed away from chemicals for that reason all my life
Double dipped doesn't exist dude. That's just some shit dealers say to get you to buy. The paper is already saturated with the liquid, dipping it again wouldn't do anything anyways.
@@scarletcrusader5431 I promise you they were my man’s had a white sheet w them stupid ass pencil marks on it and he took a tab n put one drop on the corner and then one on the other corner so it may not be dipped but he did drop it twice
I doubt this person's veracity/authenticity.. I do not believe he has ever taken LSD, quite frankly. So how can this "expert ahem scientist educator". know anything about the subject? I have taken LSD about 50 or so times, mostly in the 1990s, but also nowadays, too. I'm 47, and still occasionally use psilocybin, LSD, Ketamine, and 5-MEO DMT. They must always be treated with respect.
i was introduced to psychedelics by my first significant boyfriend, now ex. my first trip went so smoothly. i had my people with me. i felt safe. as time went on, and the relationship between me and my ex became sour, and the tripping stayed constant. i noticed, under the influence of lsd, it was perfectly clear to me i am not meant to be with this man. though when i sobered up, i lied to myself and suppressed how i felt. i had a few bad trips with him that permanently affected me because i refused to admit he wasn’t for me. if it weren’t for my psychedelic experiences i would still be in a limbo with that man today.
Have had multiple acid trips ranging from 100-300 with a few more frequent 300 trips as of late. Went on a 450 trip a week ago and that was the first time I actually felt like a changed person. It was an incredible personal and spiritual experience! Almost like a therapy session with yourself... If you're looking for just some fun and intense music go with 100-200, if you want an incredible spiritual experience go with 300/400+. But please take care whoever reads this, respect the psychedelic for what it is and start small! It can be really intense and way too overwhelming if you go to big at start.. 450 nearly overwhelmed my mind for the first 2 hours until it became a stable experience.
Please dont tell people to go for such high doses. I had an intense experience at only 80mcg's. You definitely have a tolerance so a high dose works for you but a newcomer will go insane taking 400+. 😂
@@AngelxXxDarken like i said "whoever reads this, respect the psychedelic for what it is and start small!". 100 mcg is considered a "standard" dose as far as I know. People are better off trying somewhere between 50-100 for their first time and try to up from there if desired. I remember the very first trip I ever did (100 mcg) and it's still by far the best and trippiest trip i've ever had, purely because it is new and I never experienced anything close to it ever.
Thank you. Can you do one on ketamine? I had a bad reaction to being given it for anesthesia, and I'd like to see a similar analysis of what it does to the brain and how.
I took LSD at a party after failing out of high school and after that trip, I got out of a 5 year depression and I am now on my way to becoming an engineer. The friend I took it with was diagnosed with persecutory delusions and is now taking meds for psychosis so it really depends on the person, even when you consider the setting. Some people just can't handle the trip.
Out of all the psychedelics I've done I think LSD is the most practical for therapeutic use (in our current western medical paradigm). Ayahuasca & mescaline are probably my favorites, definitely the most consistently profound, even regardless of set & setting. There is just so much variation as far as psilocybe mushrooms go but the pure indole alkaloids (my favorites are 4-aco-dmt & 4-ho-mipt) can provide very fearless, beneficial experiences. Ketamine & other dissociatives are the most abusable because of tolerance-related issues but provide an instant & short duration psychedelic headspace that can be on par with the deepest depths of an ayahuasca trip.
i find that mushrooms are far more effective for treating my depression and anxiety than LSD is, i've done a lot of both. LSD can certainly be therapeutic, but i find that my trips on it arent very introspective, and are usually more fun and energetic. lsd usually results in me enjoying hobbies, or spending time outdoors in nature, but not a whole lot of thinking about my problems unless i force myself too. i've had some majorly healing moments on lsd but i find that mushrooms tend to be much more introspective and ultimately result in more long lasting, major positive changes to my psychology. usually i spend my time on mushrooms in my room, lying around and thinking about my life and stuff, simply due to the different type of intensity mushroom trips have they are much more sedentary, with lsd you're in the drivers seat and with mushrooms, you aint. there is a lot of variance between strains, but every type of shroom i've had resulted in the same general healing benefits. i've had a lot of great conversations on both, but i still would have to hand it to mushrooms there for being the most impactful, for both me and whoever i was talking to. i've had amazing success helping both myself, and strangely even moreso other people when tripping on mushrooms. i've helped a lot of people see things from a different perspective that way, sharing the wisdom i think of it as.
@@Jvk1166z yeah i prefer mushrooms 92% of the time because the experience is more emotional and grounded where LSD is more cold, analytical & prone to thought loops in comparison. but i'm biased towards mushrooms because they have taught me so much more than LSD.
In 1975 at 15 I took window pane and purple micro dot every other day for months. I feel great now at 64. Tripping was enlightening and hilarious. I scored 1200 something on my SAT on lsd.
This was a great video. It would be interesting to see a similar video on psilocybin. As someone who occasionally takes mushrooms recreationally and knows what the personal experience is like, I’d love to hear the scientific explanation. I have watched other videos on the subject but I quite enjoy this channel and gravitate towards their clear and concise explanations.
Youngin here (22), I enjoy LSD and Psilocin quite a bit. Most i've taken at once was 10 tabs of LSD, and most i've done in a night was 14 tabs and 4 grams of mushies. Let me tell you I visited the Andromeda galaxy that night. LSD has to be one of my favorite substances to take, there's nothing quite like taking 3 gel tabs and blasting off. I've tried DMT as well, that's a whole other beast entirely but is probably the creme de la creme of psychedelics. Great video, never would have expected you guys to delve into this wonderful drug!
@@fucuszullanti7877 My guy I haven't went hard in years. I don't need your "wisdom". I'm very much aware slowing down is better. I've been tripping for 5+ years, I guarantee i'm more experienced than you
@@scarletcrusader5431 Haha, you'll find out the hard way "my guy" your brains not fully developed. I remember when I thought I knew everything. Try being experienced in reality, not fantasy land
It can force you to revaluate your life in the most emotional and beautiful way possible! Be prepared with lots of trip report videos, hoose a nice backyard setting and have a trip sitter. As always try a tiny bit.. half or quarter tab then a little more and more over many days (not one after another lol) with long breaks between of a week.
Wow this was a great overview. I’m so glad you mentioned that the feeling of death was the whole point of doing it for some people. A lot of people neglect the spiritual aspects of using these substances and you are very knowledgeable.
The first, and only time I ever took LSD, I had a bad trip. It was during a festival, I was 17, and I remember being accompanied by a few people keeping an eye on me, to trying to walk into traffic or off the edge of a bridge, to being alone and someone finding me, to being pushed around in a shopping cart and the police stopping us asking what we were doing. The whole time I was in and out of it, going from calm to absolute panic. My memories are pretty vague of the whole experience. I remember when the hallucinations had calmed down and I could touch base with reality again, I was hyper and couldn't sleep. But did eventually manage to get some rest. Never tried it again. It was too much. Bad environment, maybe too high of a dose for a first run. Not saying people shouldn't do it, but what you said about environment playing a huge part in the experience, is so incredibly true.
the biggest mistake you made was you were 17, taking mind altering substances before your mind is fully developed which is around 21y can affect your brain in a negative way.
@@raptorzn I could argue that I'd taken mushrooms at the same age and actually enjoyed the experience quite a bit. And would like to point out plenty of people my age at the time, or younger, have used LSD and had a very good experience. So age may play a role, but I don't think it was the biggest factor.
I'm 49 and took LSD a few times in my late teens, but for the past 5 years I now take 250ug about 4 or 5 times it year and it's probably my favourite recreational activity, I take 2 days off to myself and go inwards. Despite my love of the Psychedelic experience, your experience sounds like hell. I can have planned a trip for 4 months in advance, maybe rented an Airbnb with beautiful views, but if I wake up in the morning and I'm not feeling in the right headspace or I'm physically uncomfortable with gas or something, I'm not tripping that day.
Its not for everyone, you have sensitive receptors !!! It's always been a blast, even when i was super paranoid, and distrustful, it was all so, light and not real serious, i was jsut being dramatic and a bit of a clown, cause in crowds you get paranoid and self conscious and think its ALL EYEZ ON U..when its not, and even if it is, so WHAT
These people are nerds who would never even try LSD. Seriously, this content is really insulting, just geeks talking out of their asses. Big Bang Theory people like this watered down crap.
A lot of commenters here talking about their experiences with LSD but the only thing I can comment on is how pretty the visuals in this are. Idk about y'all but I just love videos/images that are just an entire rainbow glitter bomb
Mushroom tip: don't bother with psilocybe cubensis, go for panaeolus cyanescens/tropicalis. They are just as easy to grow (albeit with a smaller yield) but the effects are _so_ much cleaner and more euphoric it almost seems like a different substance by comparison.
thanks for this, I can safely get quality cubensis chocolates, but the high is only enjoyable for me in very small doses, feel gross inside on higher doses, was wondering why they felt so different from others I've had
Great news that more research is being done on psychedelics. I feel they have an important role to play in cures of various mental issues. I agree now why it is in class A/ schedule 1. The effects can be long lasting and unknown. Great video. Unbiased and informative 👍
Schedule one means extreme potential of abuse and no possible medical use, which is definitely not the case with psychedelics. Funnily enough, neither alcohol nor cigarettes are scheduled. Now I'm not saying psychedelics should be taken lightly, but their use is typically self-limiting, and "unknown" long term effects has never stopped big pharma from pushing their pills.
So what you're saying is.. you agree that it's good, but you agree that it's illegal? Why do you agree that alcohol is legal? This drug should not be banned, ever.
Why do you agree that it should be class 1? That says it has no medical or research value and high potential for abuse. Hell, 1000s of people die every year from smoking, and tobacco and those are all bad for you, and don't do much - especially cigarettes. So If anything LSD should be something you could get behind a counter and alcohol should be on the schedule list. LSD can do some great things for you and you can't really overdose on it. Not to mention the mental effects. LSD was made illegal to fight the hippies cause Nixon knew they voted against him, and couldn't make protesting illegal. Before that it was totally legal.
When i was young, i thought psychedelics or "tripping" was simply a way to "get high." Years later, i realize that a few of the psychedelic experiences ive had are by far, literally the most profound moments of my entire life to this point. Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect, but when done so, they can and likely will be one.of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime.
Old, surviving hippie here (73, ) dropped acid several times during the late Sixties and early Seventies. Acid completely destroyed my ego boundaries immediately. It basically turned my personality inside out. I knew that it was going to have a bad cumulative effect on me. Although I was happy to just settle with pot, I was still getting dosed by friends and family. It took me 10 years to become somewhat functional again. One thing I noticed that was particularly alarming; people with abnormally high or low intelligence suffered much more deleterious effects than more average people did.
Well that's because of the Muslims and other extremists. And these things will enlarge your heart valves, so it's best to just stick to calcium carbonate and beer. You're still leaving the window open for these idiots to get recruited, and THAT'S why I'm calling you out.. Don't tolerate them. Make art. Get the nation out of this stupid Muslim phase.
Respect to the old heads. Original Gangastaz I have 130 IQ and an invincible (((difficult)) ego, cant nothin touch me (((tell me what to do))) and im perfectly fine with that.
It's the best substance that has ever entered my body. Quit drinking, got in shape, started training, improved cognition and life is just so much better. And I have only ever done 300-400ug at most.
never ever had a bad trip in 100+ experiences ranging from a microdose to 350ug, mostly 50 to 100 the fear of the unknown is really what gives it the most power to cause a bad experience. acid can really "feed off" what newbies expect it can do to them and as it boosts your imagination quite a bit, that's where it has a potential to spiral down for some people. so not thinking about how stronger it could get and telling yourself it will pass and eventually decrease in intensity if it's too strong usually does it. best way is starting low and slowly explore higher dosage in good settings of course. I don't see how anyone could have a bad time on 25ug
My first lsd was nothin, 100ug, nothign fazes me, i have aphantasia though, so i might not get visually diosrented like others...but that just might be a dose thing, omne day il have to take a megadose, and test how hard my ego actually is...right now i think it's T2000, but its not battle tested
@@DSL-33166 it's not About testing how hard your ego is 😅 it's about letting go and see where it takes you. You won't enjoy the acid if you try to resist. Also are you on any kind of antidepressant/ssri/xanax/antipsychotics? Those really block the trip
we're still figuring out psychedelics, so the way we talk about them isn't very specific yet. to say that it "alters your perception of reality" isn't inaccurate but it doesn't do much to explain why its so important to be respectful of the molecule. it's like messing with your BIOS or overclocking your processor, if you don't have help from somebody who seriously knows what they're doing (like a guru) you can mess yourself up for an extended period of time. I got lost in a mind maze and it took me a few months to get out, not pleasant, I was lucky.
@sheastweart7608 I would agree with you if there were no negative consequences for the brain's health. But there are, so it isn't about "fear of exploring", it's about caring for yourself

I started tripping at 12 years old. 1/2 a strawberry each time at first. subtle visuals but extreme changes of mindset. It completely changed me to the point that the materialistic world where people hurt and cause hurt seemed absurd. It taught me that we are all incomprehensable energy manifested in a physiology too crude to understand our universe without help
Great episode. I took it back in the early 70s and feel sure I only had the real thing once. It was in California and was called orange sunshine. I know now that it was from the network led by Leary, also called the Hippie Mafia. It was a bizarre, but good trip. Definitely nothing to mess around with in a non clinical setting. In the hands of a naive 18 year old whose brain isn't fully developed, it can be a psychological disaster
@@TheBic4 I saw that there is something else than this. Another place where nothing I have experienced here matters. Who's to say there's no heaven or afterlife? Who says we're not already there? I'm looking forward to it in a sense.
LSD was arguably the most effective part in my treatment for severe PTSD and drug addiction. As someone who is both a scientist and policy analyst with years of training in biology, chemistry and public policy, and having personally been "there and back" (numerous heroic doses and some absolutely reckless doses), I can't stress enough how important this research is to optimizing overall health of many mentally ill individuals, as well as protecting the uninformed from causing long-term harm to themselves and others. For a substance so immensely powerful to go unstudied and unregulated and unused in a society that is facing a mental health crisis of epic proportions is the height of political irresponsibility.
I have had a lot of acid like trip experiences due to a quirk of biology where THC reacts in my brain to cause mild acid trips. The experiences are profound, and I do not have the language to describe what I have felt. I can tell you what I saw, and what I hear, and what I feel physically, but the experience, the profound is beyond words even for someone who loves writing fantasy lore. The thing that really changed my mind about psychedelics was when one of these trips turned "bad" and I had a breakthrough experience because of it. I had faced the regret and guilt of the death of someone I loved dearly and wasnt there for her when she died. I hadnt seen her in months. I had felt so much guilt and regret over it. This trip latched onto this and for hours I experienced the negative emotions and talked with this person in my mind. Eventually I felt as thought I was able to let her go and be forgiven. I woke up beyond the guilt and regret and could look at her pictures with a smile again. This was more healing in a few hours than I ever could make in years of therapy. I believe now that Psychedelics desperately need a re-evaluation because they can help and heal. These substances can be powerful medicines and could save lives and help people thrive again.
I think i have that same quirk !!!!!! i think it has mild shrooms like on me effects taken in high enough quantities THC only ever makes me....CHeech and CHong. Everything is amusing! (like right now) but then you can get all philosophical of course...(like right then)((cosmic downer energy))) THC make me a bit more human i find. Cause im totally inhuman without it.

we love your channel & content. and of course I am a fan of psychedlics. you need to understand that by not covering permanent psychosis / brain damage in great detail made this seem too much like a paid endorsement for street drugs. kids lookup skid row, los angeles and you will understand the consequences of unprescribed drugs. this is a blatantly obvious issue that should be understood. in summary dont put unusual chemicals in your body at all.
Lab tested LSD is largely the reason I watch this channel. This incredible substance helped me destroy the illusory boundary between the mind and the body and pushed me towards understanding myself both physically and psychologically. From an obesed and depressed alcoholic to a lifeloving athletic learner thanks to a single trip. I'm sure for some this substance can be a catalyst for something mentally destructive but it helped me a lot.
How are magic mushrooms and ecstasy, similar and different. Haven't done any of them in decades, but back in the day I did all three.
i came down from it and got prozac for like 8 months..
Another psychedelic relic here from the 60s. I was a frequent flyer for a couple of decades & really only had one “bad trip” & one over dose out of more than 100 experiences. I will say briefly that the first handful of experiences were the most fundamentally perspective & consciousness altering one’s. After awhile, when I knew what to expect, the trips became more routine. Sort of a been there, done that situation. At that point I stopped using as I felt that I had accomplished what I wanted. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, I have taken more out of LSD than LSD has taken out of me. I feel that the psychedelic experience changed my life & perspective in a very positive way. I have no regrets only gratitude for the open doors of perception it allowed.
and it came from a fungus??? you arent blown by that idea?
thats why i always have this impetus to eat dirt. maybe its the cure of depression or something.

I tried golden teachers for the first time, and it was an amazing experience.
I did LSD a few weeks ago for the first time I don’t know what my dose was (it was just a tiny square no bigger than my pinky). At first it was like weed because I got all giggly and was just in an amazingly mood, but afterwards it became just this euphoric feeling of peace, and listening to music would amplify it. Everything was so beautiful. For me that stuff was to be respected as a teacher of sorts
Since I tired psychedelics for the first time, I’ve been trying to describe the experience to others so there can try it as well, but i couldn’t find the right words to describe it.

I started doing drugs since my teenage. Got addicted to heroin for over 16 years. Heroin addiction actually destroyed my life. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

It's encouraging to see rational, educational discussions about LSD, such as this episode and the documentary "How to Change Your Mind" on Netflix, which explores the therapeutic benefits of mind-altering substances like LSD, MDMA, psilocybin, and mescaline. I grew up in the era when government propaganda was aimed at inducing fear of using LSD, especially fear of flashbacks erupting without notice and severe breaks with reality. Nothing about "set and setting" and proper dosage. When Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act, they did a major disservice to patients who could have benefited tremendously from these drugs in a therapeutic setting.
I LOVED How to Change Your Mind
How to change your mind through delusion
@@Whatismusic123I mean technically tripping is to some degree a state of Psychosis, so delusional thinking is common while using these substances
@@Whatismusic123 your thinking returns to normal after the trip anyone who says you're gonna get stuck in a trip forever is fear mongering you to keep you where they want you lmfao
@@zlClutchy it's very obvious that your thinking absolutely does not go back to normal lmao. Though it might be due to an initial positive perception of the drug which causes it.
For me LSD or shrooms is a great physical and mental reset. When i feel life is too monotonous or boring. Or the light of life is starting to dim. I feel LSD is a great restart to help you realize just how unique the human experience is. Mixed with nature it is most definitely a powerful eye opener to how connected all animals and plant life are. Its for sure an experience that changes ones perspective on things, mostly for the better
same! Agree completely
And ketamine..I really like the k because it's shorter and to the point..i used to trip all the time when I was younger and have no urge at all
Me too. It's my medicine
Sounds very much like the description I've heard from people telling me about their religious experiences
How do you even get it on a whim like that though?
Depression and anxiety were the bane of my existence, I could not be productive working to support myself and my family, it was a very bad experience for me, I received referrals from a close friend to try LSD and when I tried LSD I was saved. my life, I started microdosing it and it changed my life for the better. I have never been so productive and relaxed in my life

Old timer here (69) and I enjoyed both LSD and Psilocybin in the past. Still interested in trying Ayahuasca. Agree that environment is important to a good trip.

I'm glad to see these schedule one substances being discussed. They were taboo subjects in my teens and twenty-somethings. Not discussed in school. Consumed in places outside the school but not far away.
Knowing what they do, I can make informed decisions about them.
I've always felt that these substances had medical applications.
Thanks for watching! 🙏
I had the same experience in high school, and since have learned the medical benefits of microdosing.
Legal in Oregon
Do you think they exist outside of fiction?
I was told in highschool (Davis County, Utah, 2013) in "Health Ed" that, and I do quote from the pamphlet we were assigned to read, "anybody who takes acid just once is instantly addicted for life".
I really wish that the USA education and legal system treated these topics more objectively, truthfully, and give the full context of how these things came to be, the history and actual safety of its use, including medical and scientific research into its effects, rather than attempting to indiscriminately instill fear into students' minds.
I've dabbled with LSD for around forty years now. Certainly not regularly but when the opportunities arose. Other than my first time (that was a rollercoaster of fun) I've always gone into the experience being fully aware of what was happening to my brain. I found it easier to control any onset of paranoia or other negative emotions.
I'm really happy that LSD isn't addictive. If it was, I'd be wandering around in a rainforest following rainbow pixies, with old-school Pink Floyd playing in my head, lost in a never-ending haze of hallucinations.
I'm in my 20s but used it quite a bit in my teen years, got up to 1mg/10 typical doses. I prefer Psilocybin nowadays but so LSD being my first I wouldn't have it any other way
On a too big trip once...Pink Floyd helped me calm down and keep my wits. Dark Side of the Moon...I went there. So bizarre.
Everything can be addictive if you prefer using it without a need and abuse it

I think that people who have "Bad Trips" have them because they brought along their own pre-existing emotional baggage on their journey. LSD is NOT alcohol! It is NOT a CNS depressant. It does not make you forget your problems. LSD AMPLIFIES your brain. If you are happy and in a good place emotionally and are surrounded by loved ones, you will have a BEAUTIFUL trip. If you are depressed, sad and surrounded by people that you neither like nor trust, you will have a BAD trip.

A lot of folks knew Albert Hofmann better than I did. But at the age of 97, Albert invited my wife and me to his home, and we spent a long afternoon together. Albert told us we were the first people, outside of family and lifelong friends, that he’d invited into his home in over 20 years. Made us feel very special, and lucky.
Of course, being a longtime fan of LSD I engaged the fantasy of Albert giving me a bit of his stash. What he did, instead, was get me drunk on his homemade plum schnapps. Being a teetotaler all my life, I put that practice aside and drank 2 glasses of his brew (mine and my wife’s, who did enjoy alcohol but the gasoline taste of Albert’s schnapps was too much) and got ore than a bit tipsy. The irony of it all!😂
Our afternoon with Albert and his wife Anita will forever be one of the most interesting of our lives. We spoke of so many things that afternoon, and the time flew by quickly. Albert was a sweet, funny and caring man.
I collect art. But one of my most favorite pieces is the photo my wife took of me kissing Albert on the cheek as we stood in his backyard, just before leaving. I surprised him with it, as the big grin on his face reveals.
I’m 73 and have continued enjoying psychedelics for over 53 years. And it all started with taking 300ugs of Orange Sunshine - the best LSD ever made, in my experience - in an Ohio state park on a beautiful summer day, in 1970. It was the beginning of my lifelong love affair.
As an aside, I interviewed Nick Sand (the man behind Orange Sunshine, who I met at the 2006 International LSD Symposium/100th birthday party for Albert, in Basel) on my now-silent internet talkshow, The Opium Den, back in 2009. The interview can be found all over the internet, posted on hundreds of different sites, and is considered, almost unanimously, as his best ever. It’s over an hour long. Check it out.
Fabulous Interview. Thank you.
Neat story. I took LSD for the first time 5 weeks ago. It was a very interesting experience and I can't wait to go on another trip.
I had two trips on Orange Sunshine in the summer of 1970. The first trip was remarkable with its transformation of my surroundings into something other dimensional. Trip #2 was a few months later and was primarily inward looking with the absence of the visual effects of the first trip. The dosage may have been much lower.
I can completely relate to your story, in 1970 I obtained some LSD 25 after the Government cancelled the Orders from Sandov Laboratory and considered my existence was modified existentially permanently, along with the different mushrooms 🍄 I experienced in my formative years.
❤😂🎉 Great story !
I had 100mcg yesterday and it was the most amazing experience I have ever had. Wow!
Have you tried the lsd gel tabs
You touched on something I always tell people who are thinking of taking lsd. You wanna be in a familiar place and like on a day off where you have no responsibilities that day. Your brain is going to be working overtime and you're gonna be on this ride for the next 8 hours. And while I always enjoyed being completely unable to comprehend that tomorrow exists, some folks might struggle with it.
But sitting on the porch on a sunny day watching the trees sway in the wind becomes the most zen experience imaginable and I always feel like a new man for a few days after.
And while you do feel happy while tripping, it's not a "body high" like alcohol or grass. You have all your sense and can still walk and stuff.
But yea I think everyone should try it at least once. It's great
Did LSD few days ago, it was my first experience it was very intense
Thanks to dr.stamets who provided me with guidance
@@derickmartensYou mean Darpa Paul Stamets right?
Not intense, but i have aphantasia, so i dont think im prone to the hallucinatons others get. im on lsd right now. Apart from slight waves in vision, i never hallucinated anything other than a hd graphics upgrade. but it does throw you around abit, at first.
@@DSL-33166 The waviness is really all you experience on lsd. The hallucinations you see people get in like movies and shit are greatly exaggerated.
It's also the other affects you do it for like mood improvement and how it causes your brain to interact with itself using new pathways which alters how you think
I'm over here trying to forget how fun this drug is, and here this video is... It's the psilocybin gods calling me back to their realm
Had some liberty caps (psilocybin) mushrooms last night, picked from Derbyshire UK.
Been doing it since 1981, great place to visit the inner landscape.
If you have doubts about tripping again, listen to Summer Madness by Kool and the Gang and some other smooth Jazz from the early 80s and you’ll have the trip of your life ;)
😂
I went to a Grateful Dead concert in 1984. We had no clue about the scene before going. After getting about 20 feet into the line for parking, we were inundated with people selling 'doses'. They'd hold up t-shirts and other products then say "doses'. We had no idea what they were talking about. It was just the beginning of an eye opening experience. We got into a time machine and went back to the 60s.
Shrooms are the safest recreational drug to take, it should be made available every where.
I learned more about myself on one trip than I have through over a year of therapy.
I can't speak for everyone magic shrooms rejuvenated me, No doubt about that. It lifted an existential angst that I have been carrying for years. It never came back.
Please do you have a good source? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety levels, I would love to try shrooms

My friend said that after taking a small dose a little above threshold but not much he had increased awareness & felt his brain had woken up. This feeling stayed with him for a long time.
I went through a fairly brief period of doing LSD in psychedelic doses on a fairly regular basis. It seems like that's when I started noticing that sound has a taste. I'm not sure if LSD precipitated my synesthesia or if I had it before but LSD helped me be calm and focus on it so I could fully experience it. I can still taste sound when I'm very physically relaxed but actively listening and focused - even though it's been decades since my last trip. It's glorious!
You're not supposed to taste sound. Your wires are now crossed. Congrats dumdum!
fascinating. would you be interested in sharing more information on your synesthesia? i could contact you privately.
I had a similar experience on acid. It was like all the five senses had become one. My brain went back to normal after 24 hours. I actually lost my sense of taste for awhile after I fractured my skull, or rather everything tasted the exact same nasty stale taste. If that ever happens.. Chocolate biscuits and milkshake are the way 😅
I to can sometimes
You took the brown acid bro
What a fantastic educational vid that doesn't glorify nor demonize a chemical that does need to be studied more.
i took many, many LSD trips in the 80's as a teen and in my early 20's. There is a reason I stopped doing it back then and have never done it since. Set and setting and who you take it with are the keys to success with psychedelics. I'll leave it at that.
You were doing it with an underdeveloped mind and it sounds like you still haven't gotten over it after all these years maybe you need a refresher to ease you up
Having a proper setting is important and being with people you trust. I always wanted one sober and trusted friend to "babysit" and I always noticed how if an "outsider" got into our group my mates would slowly disappear and reconvene elsewhere.
The only bad trip I had was when I got cocky and took 4 tabs of lsd at once cause around this time I was doing it fairly regularly and got confident I was just after munching a load of fried chicken which I later regretted my fam where away for the weekend and I had people on the way over to the my house as I was coming up not knowing what I was in for I only knew 2 of them well there where 5 in total all of them r fake I should add I even knew this before the trip and was spending time with the wrong people because I was in a very lonely chapter in my life still am tbf but done with fake people anyway they all got to the house and I was drinking and taking ketamine as I was usually doing around this time because I really enjoyed the combo and had a good tolerance to all the drugs but taking 4 tabs all at once must be like drinking straight spirits too fast cause the more u take in one dose the harder it hits I later found out I was freaking out at the beginning I had hopes it would pass spoiler it didn’t within the space of 10 mins of arriving they had dj decks set up flashing disco lights with the main lights of as u can imagine as your starting to trip not even hitting the full peak with drink in your system ketamine 4tabs of acid and two fat ass chicken burgers I was feeling pretty ill to say the least my surroundings where changing to fast and there was too much too process i surprisingly didn’t throw up and my personality kept changing from a scared child to me thinking people had issues with me and I would have random outbursts of anger most of the night I sat in the other room by myself freaking out feeling like an outcast I saw a demon on someone’s face I believed people had false conspiracies about me that weren’t true but it was freaking me out so making me give off the impression they where true I was caught in a time loop I kept having flashbacks as I entered and left a room or different things happening thinking this has already happened before I remember thinking time had passed fast thinking it was 6 in the morning when it was only 12-1 wishing the night was over there was an mma fight we where watching and at one point there was football adds which people later said they never remembered seeing and I remember seeing things boxed off in it saying things like stay asleep wake up it’s a lie and all this which reminded me of when he puts on the magic goggles from they live which is also funny cause I saw a demon on a guys face aswell I remember seeing these odd lime green patterns with smoke rising from them am just remembering now it was around halloween time how did I forget to add insult to injury we where supposed to be going to a rave which would have been a blessing because I just wanted these people out of my house I asked them to leave at one point but they just brushed it off and that was hard to do because I had to announce this to 5 people only two I properly knew and my anxiety was off the charts they aren’t the worst of people but they r far from the best and they r fake it was a scary night I just gave up and went on a depression walk by myself feeling like a loser came home went upstairs and sat in the hall next to my room trying to hear what shit they where talking about me listening to a party go on in my own house place was a mess by the end of it spiled drink all over the floor smashed glass random shit before this all even happened I wasn’t even in the best headspace things r better now but that night was a nightmare I was so scarred that night I thought I fucked my head up for good and I would never be the same again I’ve only recently blocked them and now have no one for now which is hard but am at peace now glad to be away from them types of people and I hope I never go back
I am the eternal outsider tryin to infilitrate your group bro
The first time I took lsd I think I took about 300-400mcg I went through all the experiences of acid ! The come up , auditory & visual effects, time standing still , thought 💭 loops , oneness with the universe, ego death ☠️ etc ! I recommend everyone do it at least once in their lifetime under supervision and safety of course!
My experience on this has been great, one just need to take the right quantity to get the best out of it.
Below is where I got mine..

There are substances used as 'trip killers' which can rapidly reduce the impacts of psychedelics. So having something like this available can be a good idea if one is fearful of a 'bad trip' and being able to have your trip sitter give you the 'antidote'. Saying that, the so-called 'bad trip' experiences are usually the ones which teach you the most.

This shows me why I always feel more comfortable in my body when I take LSD...which I took the first time when I was 12 (1968). I have NEVER had a "bad trip", but then I have faced my shadow self (and that of those around me) my entire life (long story) from a very young age. It is about time that these drugs are finally becoming "normal" in this world. Alcohol has absolutely NO benefits for the body/mind/spirit, where psychedelics do.

True, true, i dont need lsd to see shadows on the cave. but, uh, im takin lsd till i run out, and i dont think ill have a bad trip(tamine), cause i'm kinda invincible to its effects..long story
It's been 3 years since I tried LSD or DMT, can't find a plug anywhere in my area. Back then doing DMT, We used one of those vaporizers with the big bags. The first time I didn't do enough and I just seen shapes and colours. But the second time I managed to get another hit in before I got the light headed. I remember floating above the country side flying and then all of a sudden I zoomed down into a deer and went right inside of it and I was the veins and the blood and flowing through this deers body. It was very strange lol

In the LSD experience, we are aware of being more our self and less our self (and this can be actualised, moment by moment during the trip) then we're ever capable of experiencing without the mind expansion that LSD provides us.
The work that is done, (that is; mentally spiritually emotionally) is so “individual" a thing, but the final effect can be understood and acknowledged amongst the community of others who have taken a trip on LSD. I think that makes sense, I tried to say it in a way that others who haven't taken LSD may understand. I hope I was successful.
Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychedelic and behavioral disorder.
I get to learn more about myself on trips than I have through over the years of therapy .

I have never really tried magic mushroom before. Similar to Dmt??. How do people feel on them anyone?
I have taken LSD 7 times in the last 10 years and it has done wonders for my mental health every time. My first dose was approximately in the 25 mcg range. I didn't really know what to expect, but everything just felt very intense. Once I passed the peak of the trip, I found myself enjoying a video game like I never had before. About a month later, I tried something between the 50-100 mcg range. This had a profound effect on me. For the first time in decades, I felt connected to the world instead of feeling detached. For weeks after, I felt more present and eager to engage with life. I took walks, I went to my local coffee shop and chatted with people, and I started eating healthy.
LSD is hard to find, so those effects eventually wear off. I sincerely believe that a trip every 4-6 months would have a tremendous benefit to me. A decade later, I took LSD with the intention of examining and getting rid of bad habits. This lead me to quit smoking cigarettes and discontinue my habit of getting drunk every weekend.
LSD is certainly not for everyone, but it should without a doubt be available with a prescription.

@@Marcin_Trojmiasto Your comment doesn't make sense. All the LSD that has ever existed was synthesized. There are numerous new drugs that mimic the effects of LSD, perhaps these are what you're referring to?
Real LSD is still being produced, although it can be hard to find. What has changed over time has been the potency. Since being popularised in the 1960's, "street" LSD has become approximately 10% weaker with each passing decade.

From personal experience, I've had very positive experiences from LSD, but that by no means it is for everyone. Mental state and environment are a HUGE part of what you will get out of the experience.
In the depths of a bad part of my life I felt they really helped me think of things differently. However, I can't stress enough how much your environment matters.

Genetics
Please be very careful with this drug, I used to watch videos like these when I was young and it sparked my curiosity to the point I went out and bought it to try it (I had never even drink or smoked yet).
I only did 100mcg and I was not prepared for this at all, I was too young and not just not ready for such an experience. After blacking out, convincing my self I was dead and a whole bunch of other stuff I probably shouldn’t talk about, I finally came down after tripping for 2 days straight almost.
It took me over a year to feel normal again and completely ruined my education as I couldn’t focus on school anymore due to bouts of depersonalisation that I had never experienced prior to taking it.
Please be careful all.
100mcg? You sure not 1000? Maybe your receptors are extemely sensitive for LSD
@@JHeb_ This is the conclusion I came to as well, upon trying it a second time 2 years later. I only dosed 50mcg and still had a full trip, with extremely visual OEV/CEV’s, synesthesia and intense patterns / hallucinations.

A SWIM I knew had experiences long ago with microdosing LSD. That meant dissolving a blotter piece into almost 2 oz of water and dispensing a teaspoon of the water as a dose of approximately 17 micrograms (ugrams).
That dose was discernible as a feeling of energy, of internal vibration, not unpleasant.
It was definitely not the head-space stimulation of coffee or tea.
This was a microdosing trip report, on a shallow physical level.
The mental effects, seen over time is an increased awareness and sensitivity.
No disadvantages were noticed. This was never done for more than a week in a row. i
there was no feeling of "missing" when the microdosing ceased.
Thank you friend for your clear observations.
I just rip the tab up, aint got time for all that jazz, ya feel me
This drug propelled me into obsession with understanding and defining the boundaries between the physical and metaphysical from a scientific-meets-occult standpoint centered on telepathy, and ritual effects, but as a teenager... so I went crazy for a few years. I'm glad I did it then, but I'd never do it now. It permanently imprinted coping mechanisms centered around creativity for me, and I overcame clinical psychological disorders in the process at the expense of my capacity to tolerate group activities. I crave the sense of isolation that it brought. There is no loneliness there.

Colors you can taste, tastes you can see.
I had many great experiences with it until I didn't. One bad trip set off anxiety that took almost a decade to truly subside, maybe I could've sped up the healing process with therapy, but I avoided it. Despite that, I am generally happy that I had all the experiences I did, even the "bad" one.
You don't need me to remind you that it is wise to consider dosage, set, setting, who you're with, and so forth, so I won't. Mainly I hope that this substance, like many others, gets declassified so we can have more research and create ways for people to experience it while knowing that what they are taking is clean and accurately dosed.
Great points. Everything can be perfect for a "good trip" and still turn out bad. Very unpredictable. As a teenager in the 70's, our stoner group all dropped the same batch. We all had a blast except for one guy. He was never the same.
@@timdaniels2100 When I was in a community college back in the day, our very small class had the coolest professor. He wasn't much older than us but seemed very worldly and full of deep insights into life as we were experiencing it. He also had the most beautiful, charningly confident girlriend you could imagine who was also a student in our progressive class. The girls in the class lusted after the prof and the guys after his girlfriend.
As the semester wound down, we had a class party. I brought some acid I obtained regularly from a source in a local univeristy lab. I gave some to about half the class who were interested including the prof and his long time girlfriend. The prof outdid himself with his entertaining, witty manner and dominated the party atmosphere keeping our attention on him for much of the night.
A couple of days later when we met up for the final class, we all talked about how great the night had been with everyone having very different but very favorable takes on what they experienced that night. Except .....for the prof and his girlfriend.
She was not there but had told her friends there that she wanted nothing to do with the prof, the class or even most of the students. Apparently, when they got home after the party, something pretty terrible had happened. The prof acknowledged as much and that it was his fault. He told me later in that final session that I had given him bad acid which he believed was the cause for whatever unmentionable thing happened. He definitely was not naive about acid and previously reveled in his status as being more exprienced and with more understanding of how to use psychodelics for personal benefit.
The girl left the college and the prof left the profession. We never saw either one again leaving all of us with no clue about what had transpired. That outcome was one of the strangest things I ever experienced. Of all the people I sort of kept an eye on duirng that party, they were the absolute last ones I thought might possibly need a little attention of any kind.
For me, that period of taking acid ended forever a previous life of extreme, life destroying alcohol abuse. However, when it comes to acid....you just never know.
@@timdaniels2100Exactly I actually use this example all the time. If a group takes a trip, one is highly likely to have a bad experience.
I tripped dozens of times successfully on mushrooms and eventually overdosed and went way out of myself for 8 hours. Took a year to fully recover, had to beat a panic disorder after that. It was in my favorite place I had ever lived, with my best friend and brother. perfect environment can't stop a psychosis

Beneath the cosmic curtain's sway,
A journey in hues, both night and day.
LSD whispers, kaleidoscope dreams,
A dance with thoughts, where reality gleams.
Ethereal swirls in the mind's expanse,
Sensations cascade, in a cosmic dance.
Colors converge in a vibrant ballet,
Reality's edges begin to sway.
Time unravels, a fluid stream,
Lost in a trance, a waking dream.
Mind and cosmos intertwine,
Boundaries blur, the divine align.
Surreal landscapes, a mind's creation,
A symphony of senses, pure elation.
Eyes wide open to the unseen,
In the LSD realm, where thoughts careen.
Yet, tread with caution, the path untold,
For the mind's journey is a tale to unfold.
In the realm of psychedelia's embrace,
A kaleidoscopic odyssey, leaving no trace.
As a person who suffers from negative effects of bipolar disorder (including psychosis), while being resistant to antidepressants, I have been fascinated by the available research into psychedelic experiences and their benefits to various mental disorders.
I have bipolar II; when I was younger, I did not know it and was diagnosed with Dysthymia, which is chronic depression. They put me on Prozac, and I took LSD while on it and had some fantastic trips. Once I found out I was bipolar, they put me on Lithium, and you can not take the two together, or you may have seizures and/or die! So, it is imperative to look up drug interactions before taking it; I say this to anyone taking any medications/drugs!
Please do not fuck around with psychedelics if you have pre existing psychosis... Abuse of LSD, MD and RCs nearly sent me into permant psychosis and hospitalisation long ago
Do mushrooms if your looking at a more therapeutic approach, LSD can trigger psychosis and cause depersonalization.
My first trip was great. I didn't overdo it and also smoked a bit of a joint along with the acid. It was amazing, I was laughing at everything and time just took FOREVER to move. It felt like HOURS have passed, when in reality it was only a few minutes. I heard things in my favourite songs that I've never heard before and making love felt incredible.
Then, the second time, my brain started to trip too far and started wondering where do we come from, where does the universe begin and end and what is there after that "end". If there is a forever end to the universe, then is there a forever end to life and to energy and so, what, once we die, will we inevitably stop existing forever and crazy shit like that. I had panic attacks for over a year after that and had those famous "death obsessed thoughts" and it was terrible. That was more than 10 years ago and honestly I've been scared to trip on acid ever since. I fear psychedelics because it's like you never know where they are gonna take you. And if you smoke a joint that was too strong, you can have a bit of a bad trip for 30-60 minutes and that's it. You drink some pepsi, have a good sleep and laugh about it the next day. Whereas with acid, that shit is not gonna let go and have you, possibly, bad tripping the whole night and have you wake up crying the next day. I understand not everyone's experience is like mine, but man, sometimes a "let's have some fun" thing can end up being really hard on your brain. Just be mindful of that.
yeah LSD kinda works in a way where it just starts a "feedback loop" with your feelings and thoughts. What feels nice, feels good, feels great, and on and on, because you're "hyper aware", or focusing a lot on how good that sensation feels.
If something slightly bad happens, it can also send you in this feedback loop. Sometimes nothing even happens, a mere thought, or memory of something, can send you into a panic attack (this can of course also happen when you're sober, but lsd facilitates a lot). That's why I don't like to mix weed and lsd, as weed makes me slightly more paranoid.
I have had several terrible trips off of weed alone where for an hour or longer I feel electric shocks going through my whole chest & abdomen which was almost enough to make me quit although instead I’ve just cut back a decent bit. I’ve had 2 bad trips off of psychedelics, once was when I showed up to a buddies place already on them and there was a whole different set of people there that were supposed to be there-including someone I didn’t really like and the music started seeming louder to the point where I couldn’t hear people then the wifebeater shirt I was wearing felt like it was suction cupped onto my body- my senses became hypersensitive & I had to sit on a staircase trying to calm down although I was losing it which lasted 30m-60. BUT THEN Off of 3.66g of trinity mushrooms(one of the most potent out there) along with smoking a high potency cannabis called AlbinoZilla I had an experience which felt like no other BY FAR. I felt like I was in a totally different universe tho I was just at home with my mom & sister. I had an extreme heart rate, gasping for breath, not understanding anything, my own family scaring me left & right bc of how frightening they looked, I also was convinced that they were trying to kill me with poison or something considering and didn’t want to eat what they were giving me- I tried biting an apple and immediately spit out bc it tasted sooo sour. I practice regularly in something called ‘yoga nidra’ & my mom tried putting the headphones on my head and getting me to do the practice but the sounds were so overwhelming that I threw the headset off and a bit aways. This lasted tho gradually got lessened through a course of four-ish hours. I’ve had realizations off of shrooms before but this was much more extreme. I genuinely thought 100% I was going to overdose. When I looked at my mom it kept looking like she was bawling her eyes out so I thought she knew I was a goner. I also forgot to mention that once I started tripping I went downstairs to the basement which is my room and within a minute or so I was sprawled onto the side of my bide in a super awkward position but I felt like I couldn’t move. I’m also asthamatic and could not find my inhaler although I never use it anyways unless maybe long distance running. The thought of smoking weed everyday which I do along with my inhaler and the prescription bottles I have from past medicines in my closet made me feel like a fucking loser & just a test patient to the companies. Let me add too that before this all went down, I was about to longboard downtown to watch the sunset, if not home- I think I would have died or atleast bin arrested bc I felt out of control. Long story short, hah, be careful, seriously, anyone.
Switch to mushrooms, my friend. Obviously you still won't be insulated from the bad trip possibility, but mushrooms (to me) offer a more organic and personal experience. I have had a bad trip on a standard dose of mushrooms, one out of maybe 10 trips in my life. And the only reason I could come up with for it's origination was that I rushed the experience. I had a 4 day weekend coming up and so I planned to do it then, and forced it up on myself. Traditionally, I wait for that calling, the urge to dose. I strong armed myself into dosing when I wasn't ready, and I suffered for it.
Overall I enjoy the effects of mushrooms more, and the shorter duration of 4 to 6 hours makes it a better weekend drug than LSD. Although in my younger days I definitely enjoyed LSD
I can genuinely say that mushrooms have erased my fear of death. I dont WANT to die, but Im pretty excited for the experience. Still, I dont want it to be horrible. I guess I realized I've only ever been scared of the how and not the actual result.
Acid makes me feel like a robot who's been fully activated and cant handle consciousness. I take that more as the subconscious ideas of natural vs man made drugs but still lol wild substances
@@dirtysploof5890 couldn’t be me, mushrooms kinda did that to me but as I had a very serious trip it just showed me how amazing living/life really is & I never want to have to let it go- esp leaving my family/loved ones behind

I don't know if you're taking requests, but I really like this series on how drugs interact with the body. I'd be interested in understanding some of the lesser known drugs, like Krokodil or desomorphine as well if you ever get around to them
Great ideas! We’ll add that to our list!
krokodil isnt actually all that harmful, the chemists that leave the reactants and solvents in that end up rotting limbs off are
@@theanatomylabKratom would probably be a good choice giving how widely available it is now, and being advertised as an “opioid substitute” and used by a lot of chronic pain sufferers that have been pulled off prescription drugs that helped them. Where I am, you can literally buy it at gas stations (Virginia), and it’s almost always on huge display at vape shops (usually a whole wall dedicated to various forms.) I tried it a few times back in the early 200s, but it was hard to get then and I cannot verify that it was anything good. Personally I never got anything out of it (I was hoping for help with migraines.)
Krokodil = dirty desomorphine made from codeine
Desomorphine it self is not dangerous. It was used to treating pain 1950 in Germany. Krokodil is desomorphine made from codeine, solvent and other chemicals and is dangerous because it contains very toxic substances besides desomorphine. I tried pure desomorphine that i ordered from chinese chemical manufucturer and it was really effective analgetic.
I only took lsd twice back in the 60's the first time I took 3 1/2 hits. I had no idea what I was doing. Had an extremely harrowing trip. Was taken to the psych ward because no one knew what to do with me. For years I couldn't even talk about it without being terrified of the memory. Over time (years) it lessened and I was finally able to calmly reflect upon my experience. This is somewhat a cautionary tale and with that please use care. I've heard about ppl using a trip sitter - probably would have been helpful...but it was the 60's 🤷♀
Now the upside. Today I consider it one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I wouldn't trade it for any other experience. It's taken years to unravel the symbols and metaphorical language of my lsd trip. I'm lucky to have lived through it and come out the other side.

A lot of positive comments on here, and I'm glad you guys had positive experience with psychedelics, but I'd also like to point out that it definitely damaged my own personal mental health, and it is not the end all be all for mental health treatments. It's just like any other drug. It can mess you up. Same with weed. Telling people psychedelics and weed are just so amazing and not at all harmful is the opposite of harm reduction, which is what we should aim for with honest, straightforward, and factual information, presenting all benefits and risks.
Guess I was just lucky. All my LSD trips were profound and life-changing in very helpful ways, and I frankly wish anyone who wants to will take it.
@lazarusgodspower215Nutonyourface
Yea, another veteran flyer here. Thanks for being real about the drug. My experience has been that the bad trip issue is , every time Ive encountered it personally or in a friend, has been due to allowing oneself to get stuck in their 'anxiety closet'. The thing is the person has more control of their mind than they realize and can steer their attention away from that place into the wider experience. It may take the help of a trusted, more experienced user. Especially early in the trip.
Beyond that I have to say my introduction to it helped me grow and understand aspects of . . . thinking and the universe I am thinking in that would have not come for a very long time otherwise, if ever. And as others have said, It kinda told me when I had gotten about all it had to show me. At least foer a very long time. Around 50 It may have been worth a trip to reevaluate life from that perspective again. Not an easy thing to find at 50, in my experience. My trusted friends just arent connected anymore.
Psychedelics have helped me with my addiction issues more than anything else. After 1 dose, for the next 2 weeks, I don't drink, smoke, snort, or do any kind of drugs whatsoever. It's not a cure all but it has helped me more than therapy, psych meds, or AA ever could.
Love that you covered this.
Psychedelics are extremely fascinating, and in our view worth investigating for clinical benefits
Another really important aspect of psychedelic research, in my opinion would be the dangers of combining multiple serotonergic drugs. Especially MAOI or SSRI with a/multiple serotonin agonist(s). I would love to see a deep dive into the function of serotonin (physiological and psychological) and the effects of improper serotonin function in the brain. I believe this field of research may help us find better alternatives to currently marketed antidepressants and anticonvulsants. There may also be other experiments involving radio labeling of psychedelics to trace neurological and metabolic pathways contributing to different physical and mental illnesses. Similar to the radio tracing of the human 5HT receptor system using radio labeled NBOMe in the early 2000's, hopefully with a higher incidence of safety. Thank you for putting out truly educational videos where I always manage to learn something, even in subjects I am passionate about.
While I certainly don't want to dismiss anyones experience regarding psychosis or other mental health conditions after LSD consumption, I would like to remind everyone that population studies (regarding the "classical" serotonergic psychedelics) have not found an increased risk of adverse mental health outcomes, with some even showing improvements.
Would have loved a discussion on how these findings can be reconciled with the anecdotal reports from users and clinicians. Great video guys!

Disclaimer: as medicine is not my field I can't vouch for the quality, but I assume it is hard to mess up population studies. (edit: 1 and 2 are by the same authors, but using different datasets)
I personally had a very positive experience with very positive mental effects that lasted for at least 2 weeks. It brought me a newfound appreciation for life and made me realize how beautiful the world and art is.
I definitely am now more at "baseline" though, about a month later (from the 9th of September to now). One positive is that I don't seem to experience super depressive days anymore. Just neutral.
I expected it to be more... meaningful or spiritual? It was mostly recreational and I didn't have much complex thought. All my senses were heightened and music was immaculate. I also expected a greater amount of visuals, maybe it's just limited at 100ug. Probably going to try again next month. I think a 2 month break is fine.
A lot of anecdotes are lies, especially when they came from or parallel the statements of the DARE program. Notably they overtly lied in their marketing.
Psychosis comes through learning about new stimuli and your brain being unable to cope with this stimuli. Drugs can force a person to experience these stimuli to cause a chain of events in the brain to allow a phenotype to show, so if a person was destined to be shizophrenic, the drug would allow the person to experience symptoms much sooner, therefore leading the person to live schizophrenic afterwards with medicine to help. This is sadly not the norm and only happens if the person taking the drug has underlying mental health issues that aren't treated prior to the drug being taken. Thats why a lot of people enter a fugue state on lsd, because they cant process their emotions so they lash out on everything around them. This has been studied to occur on people who dont have mental illness as well, but the bad trip can force a person to have ptsd about what occurred and that is a form of mental illness. Basically, dont mess with drugs if your brain chemistry is already altered in some form through birth or current drugs being taken.
2 days after taking acid, I had my first epileptic seizure. This led to over a hundred more in the years that it was affecting me. I am currently 6 years seizure free, however, psychedelics also have the ability to shock the nervous system, and can lead to other disorders. While I agree that they can be used for good things, my experience with LSD nearly killed me
yeah people need to talk more about the negative effects, tho you could have had a different synthetic version like Nbome
It’s really interesting to hear how this drug affects our brain chemistry. I took this drug recreationally without understanding the effects it would long term. Ive had both good and bad experiences with LSD and sometimes feel like i am still recovering from the bad. The good was great but the bad is traumatic. It’s very true how this drug makes me become more self aware and even after three years of not taking LSD sometimes i feel like im still in that state of mind when i get panic attacks.
I enjoy learning more about the effects and experience though and am happy that more research is being done so that this drug can be distributed properly and safely.
Thanks for sharing
Yeah mushrooms started a lifelong problem with panic attacks for me and I know many other people with similar experiences. I've learned my triggers and how to control them and one thing is that I basically can't smoke weed ever again due to mushrooms as it can lead to very bad panic attacks as it can give me the feeling of losing control of my mind like what happened to me with mushrooms.
I would say people need to be very cautious with this stuff. It's also really weird but you can clearly see fake posts from bots that keep repeating the same positive experience with an interchangeable condition that was cured, but the rest of the post will be word for word exactly the same. For some reason someone is wasting time trying to push mushrooms with bots, which is bizarre.
@@Steezicus i used to trip way too much. And i have a similar experience with weed now. I just started smoking again like a year ago but it makes me pretty much trip now.
It's never been anything but delightfully terrifying, or distressingly pleasent
This is one of the only drugs I really want to try someday.
Go ahead, make the connect, its nothin, just like a HD graphics upgrade

This was very interesting. Thank you for the info! It would be great if you followed up with videos on both ketamine and psilocybin as they relate to mental health and compare with lsd and traditional methods. Fascinating subject, the brain. 👍
@lazarusgodspower215 cool. I’d like to hear more about that.
Great content as usual,
All I can say is be very careful with LSD especially if you have any mental health struggles.
I've had anxiety and depression for years and I ended up with what was likely to be drug induced psychosis.
Took me over a year to come right again.
Also have recently been diagnosed with ADHD (one of the innatentive types)
And I think that likely had an influence on the trip that became a nightmare
I think being administered by a professional would probably be most effective.
@@DBPCINCWouldn't matter who administered it, won't stop a psychosis
@@321feuer-freitbh these drugs are supposed to change your brain but in the good way, sometimes tho the undesirable happens
i have adhd. thats not it cheif.
youre right its a mental health precursor though. something about your makeup caused that but no not adhd.
@@gemoth65 I respectfully disagree haha. If you were to hear the full story it seems ADHD was a likely contributing factor. But the full story is very long and relatively complex.
Have been writing a book on it though, hope to finish it in a few years, and hopefully can help others prevent further psychological suffering
I always enjoy how you guys openly talk about drugs and never in a discriminatory way. Yall are the best for it.
You were just so proud of that "it's going to be a trip" quote 😂😂😂
😅😅😅
I've never tried LSD but having taken a herioc dose of psilocybin before, it can definitely have potential in helping with a lot of mental issues. I dosed this high when I was at my wit's end, hoping to smash my own ego and allow myself to truly see myself for who I am, flaws and all. Needless to say, it did work. This experience is by no means fun, but that's part of the reason I personally like psychedelics. A rough trip is a learning experience to grow from.
@KahsisgLeiusgsj stop with this scam BS. In the state where I live, there's a city that has legalized certain psychedelics so there's no need to do that anyways.
My ego reforms like the T2 silicon liquid man..every time. Im on lsd right now ((((bruh))))mildy baked
My aunt was 14 when she took her first hit of acid, in the 60s i think. It put her in the mental hospital for a decade or so after and she was never the same after. She even remembered what she was like before that happened.
In my opinion, it reacts differently for everyone. I stayed away from chemicals for that reason all my life
First lsd trip I took a double dipped tab so around 250 mcg and It was the most powerful experience of my life it changed everything for me
Double dipped doesn't exist dude. That's just some shit dealers say to get you to buy. The paper is already saturated with the liquid, dipping it again wouldn't do anything anyways.

I doubt this person's veracity/authenticity.. I do not believe he has ever taken LSD, quite frankly. So how can this "expert ahem scientist educator". know anything about the subject?
I have taken LSD about 50 or so times, mostly in the 1990s, but also nowadays, too. I'm 47, and still occasionally use psilocybin, LSD, Ketamine, and 5-MEO DMT. They must always be treated with respect.
i was introduced to psychedelics by my first significant boyfriend, now ex. my first trip went so smoothly. i had my people with me. i felt safe. as time went on, and the relationship between me and my ex became sour, and the tripping stayed constant. i noticed, under the influence of lsd, it was perfectly clear to me i am not meant to be with this man. though when i sobered up, i lied to myself and suppressed how i felt. i had a few bad trips with him that permanently affected me because i refused to admit he wasn’t for me. if it weren’t for my psychedelic experiences i would still be in a limbo with that man today.
So you broke up with him because you were on LSD not because you didn't like him no more???
The lorena bobbit story...
Have had multiple acid trips ranging from 100-300 with a few more frequent 300 trips as of late. Went on a 450 trip a week ago and that was the first time I actually felt like a changed person. It was an incredible personal and spiritual experience! Almost like a therapy session with yourself... If you're looking for just some fun and intense music go with 100-200, if you want an incredible spiritual experience go with 300/400+. But please take care whoever reads this, respect the psychedelic for what it is and start small! It can be really intense and way too overwhelming if you go to big at start.. 450 nearly overwhelmed my mind for the first 2 hours until it became a stable experience.
Please dont tell people to go for such high doses. I had an intense experience at only 80mcg's. You definitely have a tolerance so a high dose works for you but a newcomer will go insane taking 400+. 😂
@@AngelxXxDarken like i said "whoever reads this, respect the psychedelic for what it is and start small!". 100 mcg is considered a "standard" dose as far as I know. People are better off trying somewhere between 50-100 for their first time and try to up from there if desired. I remember the very first trip I ever did (100 mcg) and it's still by far the best and trippiest trip i've ever had, purely because it is new and I never experienced anything close to it ever.
Thank you. Can you do one on ketamine? I had a bad reaction to being given it for anesthesia, and I'd like to see a similar analysis of what it does to the brain and how.
I got SO SICK with ketamine. It took me a full 24 hours to stop throwing up violently. I was sicker than I’ve ever felt.

I like the good vibes describing LSD I take a tab once every 2 weeks saved me from alcohol and smoking so definitely saved my life
I took LSD at a party after failing out of high school and after that trip, I got out of a 5 year depression and I am now on my way to becoming an engineer. The friend I took it with was diagnosed with persecutory delusions and is now taking meds for psychosis so it really depends on the person, even when you consider the setting. Some people just can't handle the trip.

@@glorysmith6what?
Out of all the psychedelics I've done I think LSD is the most practical for therapeutic use (in our current western medical paradigm). Ayahuasca & mescaline are probably my favorites, definitely the most consistently profound, even regardless of set & setting. There is just so much variation as far as psilocybe mushrooms go but the pure indole alkaloids (my favorites are 4-aco-dmt & 4-ho-mipt) can provide very fearless, beneficial experiences. Ketamine & other dissociatives are the most abusable because of tolerance-related issues but provide an instant & short duration psychedelic headspace that can be on par with the deepest depths of an ayahuasca trip.
i find that mushrooms are far more effective for treating my depression and anxiety than LSD is, i've done a lot of both. LSD can certainly be therapeutic, but i find that my trips on it arent very introspective, and are usually more fun and energetic. lsd usually results in me enjoying hobbies, or spending time outdoors in nature, but not a whole lot of thinking about my problems unless i force myself too. i've had some majorly healing moments on lsd but i find that mushrooms tend to be much more introspective and ultimately result in more long lasting, major positive changes to my psychology. usually i spend my time on mushrooms in my room, lying around and thinking about my life and stuff, simply due to the different type of intensity mushroom trips have they are much more sedentary, with lsd you're in the drivers seat and with mushrooms, you aint. there is a lot of variance between strains, but every type of shroom i've had resulted in the same general healing benefits. i've had a lot of great conversations on both, but i still would have to hand it to mushrooms there for being the most impactful, for both me and whoever i was talking to. i've had amazing success helping both myself, and strangely even moreso other people when tripping on mushrooms. i've helped a lot of people see things from a different perspective that way, sharing the wisdom i think of it as.
@@Jvk1166z yeah i prefer mushrooms 92% of the time because the experience is more emotional and grounded where LSD is more cold, analytical & prone to thought loops in comparison. but i'm biased towards mushrooms because they have taught me so much more than LSD.
@kelvinowens2622 thanks anyway but I'm good 😉
In 1975 at 15 I took window pane and purple micro dot every other day for months. I feel great now at 64. Tripping was enlightening and hilarious. I scored 1200 something on my SAT on lsd.
This was a great video. It would be interesting to see a similar video on psilocybin.
As someone who occasionally takes mushrooms recreationally and knows what the personal experience is like, I’d love to hear the scientific explanation.
I have watched other videos on the subject but I quite enjoy this channel and gravitate towards their clear and concise explanations.
I grow my own shrooms, it's good fun!
Definitely check out the book "Your Psilocybin Mushroom Companion", there's a ton of interesting science behind it!
Yes,a video on psilocybin would be a great idea.A brilliant drug for me.
Im currently on a trip and just came to say i love your videos and appreciate the time and effort that goes into these
Yeah
Taken LSD hundreds of times, not a one bad trip. Great little thing.
You're pretty lucky man I've had a few dark trips that made me never touch lsd again.

Youngin here (22), I enjoy LSD and Psilocin quite a bit. Most i've taken at once was 10 tabs of LSD, and most i've done in a night was 14 tabs and 4 grams of mushies. Let me tell you I visited the Andromeda galaxy that night. LSD has to be one of my favorite substances to take, there's nothing quite like taking 3 gel tabs and blasting off. I've tried DMT as well, that's a whole other beast entirely but is probably the creme de la creme of psychedelics. Great video, never would have expected you guys to delve into this wonderful drug!

It can force you to revaluate your life in the most emotional and beautiful way possible! Be prepared with lots of trip report videos, hoose a nice backyard setting and have a trip sitter. As always try a tiny bit.. half or quarter tab then a little more and more over many days (not one after another lol) with long breaks between of a week.
Wow this was a great overview. I’m so glad you mentioned that the feeling of death was the whole point of doing it for some people. A lot of people neglect the spiritual aspects of using these substances and you are very knowledgeable.
The first, and only time I ever took LSD, I had a bad trip. It was during a festival, I was 17, and I remember being accompanied by a few people keeping an eye on me, to trying to walk into traffic or off the edge of a bridge, to being alone and someone finding me, to being pushed around in a shopping cart and the police stopping us asking what we were doing. The whole time I was in and out of it, going from calm to absolute panic. My memories are pretty vague of the whole experience. I remember when the hallucinations had calmed down and I could touch base with reality again, I was hyper and couldn't sleep. But did eventually manage to get some rest. Never tried it again. It was too much. Bad environment, maybe too high of a dose for a first run. Not saying people shouldn't do it, but what you said about environment playing a huge part in the experience, is so incredibly true.
the biggest mistake you made was you were 17, taking mind altering substances before your mind is fully developed which is around 21y can affect your brain in a negative way.
@@raptorzn I could argue that I'd taken mushrooms at the same age and actually enjoyed the experience quite a bit. And would like to point out plenty of people my age at the time, or younger, have used LSD and had a very good experience. So age may play a role, but I don't think it was the biggest factor.
I'm 49 and took LSD a few times in my late teens, but for the past 5 years I now take 250ug about 4 or 5 times it year and it's probably my favourite recreational activity, I take 2 days off to myself and go inwards. Despite my love of the Psychedelic experience, your experience sounds like hell.
I can have planned a trip for 4 months in advance, maybe rented an Airbnb with beautiful views, but if I wake up in the morning and I'm not feeling in the right headspace or I'm physically uncomfortable with gas or something, I'm not tripping that day.
Its not for everyone, you have sensitive receptors !!! It's always been a blast, even when i was super paranoid, and distrustful, it was all so, light and not real serious, i was jsut being dramatic and a bit of a clown, cause in crowds you get paranoid and self conscious and think its ALL EYEZ ON U..when its not, and even if it is, so WHAT

Mushroom tip: don't bother with psilocybe cubensis, go for panaeolus cyanescens/tropicalis. They are just as easy to grow (albeit with a smaller yield) but the effects are _so_ much cleaner and more euphoric it almost seems like a different substance by comparison.
Consider Psilocybe semilanceata. Most of the time in the UK this is what you find
thanks for this, I can safely get quality cubensis chocolates, but the high is only enjoyable for me in very small doses, feel gross inside on higher doses, was wondering why they felt so different from others I've had
Great news that more research is being done on psychedelics. I feel they have an important role to play in cures of various mental issues.
I agree now why it is in class A/ schedule 1. The effects can be long lasting and unknown.
Great video. Unbiased and informative 👍
Schedule one means extreme potential of abuse and no possible medical use, which is definitely not the case with psychedelics. Funnily enough, neither alcohol nor cigarettes are scheduled.
Now I'm not saying psychedelics should be taken lightly, but their use is typically self-limiting, and "unknown" long term effects has never stopped big pharma from pushing their pills.
So what you're saying is.. you agree that it's good, but you agree that it's illegal? Why do you agree that alcohol is legal? This drug should not be banned, ever.
@@XpRnz No I do not agree that it is illegal.
@@centralintelligenceagency9003 I don't recall asking you, but good that you think that. 👍
Why do you agree that it should be class 1? That says it has no medical or research value and high potential for abuse. Hell, 1000s of people die every year from smoking, and tobacco and those are all bad for you, and don't do much - especially cigarettes. So If anything LSD should be something you could get behind a counter and alcohol should be on the schedule list. LSD can do some great things for you and you can't really overdose on it. Not to mention the mental effects. LSD was made illegal to fight the hippies cause Nixon knew they voted against him, and couldn't make protesting illegal. Before that it was totally legal.
I took a dose a couple days ago. And I think it snapped me out of severe depression and anxiety. I didn't do anything different and feel much better.

When i was young, i thought psychedelics or "tripping" was simply a way to "get high." Years later, i realize that a few of the psychedelic experiences ive had are by far, literally the most profound moments of my entire life to this point. Psychedelics should only be used with great care and respect, but when done so, they can and likely will be one.of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime.
LSD had taken me on so many journeys through my own mind and helped me to realise who I am and why I do things how I do them.
It hasn't changed me one bit. I'm the same contrarian i've always been
Old, surviving hippie here (73, ) dropped acid several times during the late Sixties and early Seventies. Acid completely destroyed my ego boundaries immediately. It basically turned my personality inside out. I knew that it was going to have a bad cumulative effect on me. Although I was happy to just settle with pot, I was still getting dosed by friends and family. It took me 10 years to become somewhat functional again. One thing I noticed that was particularly alarming; people with abnormally high or low intelligence suffered much more deleterious effects than more average people did.
duuude...
Well that's because of the Muslims and other extremists. And these things will enlarge your heart valves, so it's best to just stick to calcium carbonate and beer.

I have 130 IQ and an invincible (((difficult)) ego, cant nothin touch me (((tell me what to do))) and im perfectly fine with that.
It's the best substance that has ever entered my body. Quit drinking, got in shape, started training, improved cognition and life is just so much better. And I have only ever done 300-400ug at most.
never ever had a bad trip in 100+ experiences ranging from a microdose to 350ug, mostly 50 to 100
the fear of the unknown is really what gives it the most power to cause a bad experience.
acid can really "feed off" what newbies expect it can do to them and as it boosts your imagination quite a bit, that's where it has a potential to spiral down for some people.
so not thinking about how stronger it could get and telling yourself it will pass and eventually decrease in intensity if it's too strong usually does it.
best way is starting low and slowly explore higher dosage in good settings of course. I don't see how anyone could have a bad time on 25ug
Same here
Recognize you’re not stronger than this substance and you can’t go back ,then let go and enjoy
My first lsd was nothin, 100ug, nothign fazes me, i have aphantasia though, so i might not get visually diosrented like others...but that just might be a dose thing, omne day il have to take a megadose, and test how hard my ego actually is...right now i think it's T2000, but its not battle tested
@@joelcollins6128 foreal🥇...but that's just common sense
@@DSL-33166 it's not About testing how hard your ego is 😅 it's about letting go and see where it takes you. You won't enjoy the acid if you try to resist. Also are you on any kind of antidepressant/ssri/xanax/antipsychotics? Those really block the trip
we're still figuring out psychedelics, so the way we talk about them isn't very specific yet. to say that it "alters your perception of reality" isn't inaccurate but it doesn't do much to explain why its so important to be respectful of the molecule. it's like messing with your BIOS or overclocking your processor, if you don't have help from somebody who seriously knows what they're doing (like a guru) you can mess yourself up for an extended period of time.

I started tripping at 12 years old. 1/2 a strawberry each time at first. subtle visuals but extreme changes of mindset. It completely changed me to the point that the materialistic world where people hurt and cause hurt seemed absurd. It taught me that we are all incomprehensable energy manifested in a physiology too crude to understand our universe without help

Great episode. I took it back in the early 70s and feel sure I only had the real thing once. It was in California and was called orange sunshine. I know now that it was from the network led by Leary, also called the Hippie Mafia. It was a bizarre, but good trip. Definitely nothing to mess around with in a non clinical setting.

LSD was arguably the most effective part in my treatment for severe PTSD and drug addiction. As someone who is both a scientist and policy analyst with years of training in biology, chemistry and public policy, and having personally been "there and back" (numerous heroic doses and some absolutely reckless doses), I can't stress enough how important this research is to optimizing overall health of many mentally ill individuals, as well as protecting the uninformed from causing long-term harm to themselves and others. For a substance so immensely powerful to go unstudied and unregulated and unused in a society that is facing a mental health crisis of epic proportions is the height of political irresponsibility.
I have had a lot of acid like trip experiences due to a quirk of biology where THC reacts in my brain to cause mild acid trips.
The experiences are profound, and I do not have the language to describe what I have felt. I can tell you what I saw, and what I hear, and what I feel physically, but the experience, the profound is beyond words even for someone who loves writing fantasy lore.
The thing that really changed my mind about psychedelics was when one of these trips turned "bad" and I had a breakthrough experience because of it. I had faced the regret and guilt of the death of someone I loved dearly and wasnt there for her when she died. I hadnt seen her in months. I had felt so much guilt and regret over it. This trip latched onto this and for hours I experienced the negative emotions and talked with this person in my mind. Eventually I felt as thought I was able to let her go and be forgiven.
I woke up beyond the guilt and regret and could look at her pictures with a smile again.
This was more healing in a few hours than I ever could make in years of therapy.
I believe now that Psychedelics desperately need a re-evaluation because they can help and heal. These substances can be powerful medicines and could save lives and help people thrive again.
that's a powerful experience. I've definitely have had some bad trips before but nothing to this level
I think i have that same quirk !!!!!! i think it has mild shrooms like on me effects taken in high enough quantities
