I'd just like to say for anyone who hasn't seen the synthesis for LSD, its an extremely long process with a list of dangerous chemicals the length of your arm. I genuinely believe it is the most difficult drug to synthesize, except maybe ALD-52 but only because it requires LSD to make it, ketamine might be more difficult because we don't know the complete synthesis. There's only 5 or 6 labs on earth that make LSD, all of them are staffed by trained organic chemists. So this guy, managed to make LSD in a damn bus, that is immensely impressive, I have alot of respect for his skills.

It's so frustrating. Also i didnt start drinking till my 30s but now at 45 i consider myself alcoholic but dont want to be. I really wasavle to socially drink for 15 years, i got bored, deoressed, and i just drink. I drink far far less bow after taking 2 weeks in Europe, just hash and weed and a few drinks, nothing insane like when i drink iff the bottle. (Was drinking 1 pint of whisky ir rum a day, it's down to 1 or 2 a week, still too much). Luckily in Europe i got Xanax from a Dr and was able to enjoy my trip cause i also have crippling anxiety, just absolutely turns me into an agoraphobic weirdo at home. I want to live where i can just walk to anywhere i need to go when bored, i really need to live in a city or town where everything is in walking or biking distance. It keeps me busy. I currently live so far from anything even biking to a market isnt doable. Only delivery or drive your ass 15 minutes to nearest place.

@@harryjb28 do it to gain knowledge about yourself your world. LSD can enrich your life if done correctly and responsibly. It can also turn you into a monster if you let it. If it's done with good intentions in your heart and an open mind it can be the best thing ever. If it's done just to get high well then that's all you'll get out it. You should feel reborn after a good solid trip and I truly believe it gives the human mind and body a release. Just have love in your heart and try to enjoy that love and sense of togetherness with those you're close with. Find ur right dose and keep love in ur heart and good things will come from LSD. I never ever took a trip with negative or hateful people. For that reason half the time I'd find a nice forest and trip alone as opposed to tripping with negative or evil people. Also when on LSD I'd see people for what they are. Almost always bad people would have demon faces or appear completely evil and the people with love in their hearts wouldn't appear that way. LSD really does put what we can't see normally into clarification. Eat a few hits and walk into a strip club. Most of those girls will have demonic morphing faces probably because they're evil lol try it as an experiment n see if I'm lying😅.

For real. Listening to him talk about his experience, and how he was about to watch Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History of Time', when I was probably about the same age he was, I was hanging out at a collage campus, not enrolled, but using the library, and reading that same book. Dong the same things, between reading, as he describes. I would not be surprised at all if some of his magic found its way to my path.

Best trip i ever had was back around 1999 and it was two dark red gel tabs. Took them at around 11pm and it lasted until 5pm the next day. Didnt even start peaking until like 6am. Everything moving was making lots of traces. We stood by a bridge over a highway and were fascinated watching the cars driving by and seeing the traces behind them. Felt like we stood there for hours.

It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright.

Thing about tripping is you have to keep your emotions in check. I use to love tripping balls. Quick true story. Bunch of friends decided to have a drop party. There was one guy James who would have trouble just burning herb, so he wanted to take some, but I told the guys. Hey lets only let him have half. We all agreed, but one of my friends dosed him a full blotter :45 minutes later. Stacked him...HUGE mistake for someone new. James ended up taking off on his ten-speed. I went looking around the house where everyone was partying. Asked people, but he was nowhere. Next morning we're having a tube session and we're all like where's James, and Mick tells us he double dosed him. We jumped Mick about it. Well not to long after that James walks into the house and we're like where the hell were you. James tells us he started tripping and got on his ten-speed and rode off. He had went down to the doughnut shop and told the lady the dougnuts were talking to him and to call police for assistance. He said the officer took his small pocket knife and took him to the 5150 padded room to let him ride his trip out safely. We were like yeah right James you're full of it. Next thing we know a police officer pulls up and drops James his ten-speed off to him ( the 80's ). Couple weeks later James got hauled off after he rode his said ten-speed up to Amoco and put a block through the window for beer and cigarettes. I enjoyed dropping. I wanted to try DMT, but after a bad brain injury and epilepsy I'm going to pass on that one. Legend has it James is still out there tripping riding his ten-speed. Ride on James...Ride on.

This dude was so caught up in the experience, he risked everything to spread that experience. I remember that feeling. Even now it's so important for every human to experience this the way it's meant to be experienced. It's so life altering in a beneficial (life journey) sort of way. They have finally made a very sterilized Ketamine trip people can take in clinics and it's still amazing, only lasts an hour, and insurance pays way too much for it, but it does open the psychedelic experience to many more people. Its too bad it has to be so controlled though

[@LIVEMETRIX187]

exactly like the ketamine in a hospital room isn’t the same experience as one at home or relaxing with friends. sometimes you need that part to get therapy and a hospital limits this.

[@toohotto]

I quit a 30 a day, 16 year long cigarette addiction, as well as started eating good nutrition and running 10km daily, after an epiphany while using LSD. I have honestly never felt better, I'm sure I now release many naturally occurring endogenous cannabanoids aswell as other feel good chemicals in my body on a daily basis due to my lifestyle choices. I haven't felt the need to touch L since then, but remain forever grateful for the new paradigm it has afforded me by the experience.

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

If you can even get legitimate LSD anymore I wouldn't recommend somebody that's not comfortable with their self and their life to take it but if you are in a good place with positivity and good people around you that you trust you can have one of the most amazing and Awakening moments in your life. It really puts everything into perspective and you never see the world the same afterwards. If you are in a bad place with negativity or judgmental people and anger or violence it can cause a really bad effect.

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

@Vance Walton yep the only times I've ever taken LSD or mushrooms was when I was with my brothers and maybe a one or two of my really good friends we would always do fun things and stay positive. I've had people tell me that they want to try doing it but I knew that they weren't ready for it and it wouldn't be able to handle it and I told him straight up that I don't think your ready. For me I don't even want to do it anymore I have gotten a little older and I am a combat veteran. I don't think that my mind would be able to go to a good place like when I was more carefree and young back in the 90s and early 2000s.
