Yea I've seen this, I read up alot on this testing years ago - do a search for MKULTRA and you'll find tons more info.. The mobster Whitey Bulger who's still on the run was locked up in the 50's, and he said they offered to take time off his sentence if he participated in some testing, and he talked about some bizarre LSD tests they gave him.

State of mind & heart is critical to the safety of the "trip".

Whatever you are feeling will be magnified.

In other words, if you're not having a good day, DON'T do LSD.

In fact, LSD is a great drug for clinical treatment of alcoholism.

Don't laugh, in the 60s, the cutting edge pioneers of psychotherapy had great success helping alcoholics overcome their hidden emotional causes of their insatiable need to self medicate with booze.

It wasn't about just handing a guy a couple hits of purple micro-dot & sending him home. It was a totally controlled atmosphere of soothing music, unconditional love & emotional safety where the patients' loved ones were present to help the therapist guide the patient through their own subconscious scars & hidden motives. Patients were guided through their past issues so that they would awake to a self realization of what was really driving them to suppress their pain through alcohol.

I'm not saying that everyone should drop acid, I'm only saying that in the hands of a properly skilled therapist, it can help a person see through their conscious mind & into their subconscious heart to overcome their challenges.

I don't think anyone uses this great tool for that anymore. The liquor lobby probably got the church folks politically activated against LSD enhanced psychotherapy. (can you tell I don't trust people much?)

but then by the late 60's the hippie culture had heard about it and had been using it for "trippin" and it quickly became a favorite of many including a famous little man who promoted it and said " Tune in, turn on, drop out " and the Moody Blues wrote a song about him, ever really listen to the words of Timothy Leary? Half the rock bands of the 60's and 70's wrote songs about it or were using it when composing there music and it HEAVILY influenced many bands, most obviously to me was the Beatles later years and Pink Floyd. It was legal then and it's usage exploded across the country, by the mid 70's I had been turned on to it and it quickly became a habit of mine to trip when it was in town, all different types and colors. Man I abused that stuff for years and I can't even explain the feelings and sensations and visuals it gives when " peaking", like nothing you can even imagine. I actually had my senses cross and could taste colors and see music floating thru the air, out in the woods trees would bow down to me and sometimes just melt into a pile before me. I never had a bad trip luckily but knew a few high school aquaintances that lost their mind from that shit and are now "gone" and homeless, dead, or institutionalized, you wouldn't believe the stories of how bad these people were affected by it, it is way too strong for most people and I for one would never touch it again nor would I recommend anyone else do.

Cool post.
I had some pretty intense highs on magic mushrooms years ago, from what I hear a basic dose of mushys are about 1/10 the strength of lsd.

But I seen things levitate, colours were enhanced extremely along with taste and sensation, the greatest feeling I had was coming down, for some reason I always felt down to earth and my mind was set straight about things. It was a very stange feeling its hard to describe but it was like a felt everything was gonna be allright.

Been there, done that. Okay, you pried it out of me, I hope you're happy! BTW Pink Floyd is my favourite band & this is coming from a guy who also loves CCR, Metallica, Pantera, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Daftpunk, The Prodigy, Judas Priest, INXS, Slayer, Bob Seger, The Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaugh, Stevie Wonder & a million other awesome artists. Floyd Forever!!!

That's why I emphasized the safety issues. People don't understand how close emotion & spirit actually are. Unlees it's administered by a proper professional psychotherapist (or an old hippie), then I also agree that people should NOT do LSD...

"Wish you were here"...

Would have John Lennon ever been heard of had he remained drug free?

Well, kinda like saying that Arnold owes everything to steroids, I guess ... who cares?

 

[zephyr22]

Yeah, I had a horrible trip on mushrooms....

The setting was in highschool. My older brother and I had the day off in summer. My bro is about 3 or 4 years older than me. Anyways hes a massive pot head. I hate weed it makes me feel crazy. Anyway we eat a bunch of shrooms. It was an entire baggy that a freind gave me because he owed my some money. Anyways we split this bag in half. About 30 or 40 minutes later. I was laughing uncontrollably. My brother was laughing as well. Then it hit me....."we gotta get the fuck out of here, people are gonna notice we are laughing like this". So we get in me care and I cant seem to coordinate my legs and my vision???? Im thinking what the hell. So my brother drives us back home. I get in the house and feel my body get heavy as hell and I start seeing some crazy shit like color changes and faint shadows all over everything. I start to panic, WTF, what did I do??? Did I take too much??? I call my bud who gave them to me. He says " how much did you take???" I tell him we split the bag in half.....He said oh shit that was at least 8 or 9 trips worth.....I then start to panic like a mofo. He said just ride it out. Im thinking of calling the poison control center.......However I was watching TV and the damn people were talking backwards (Drew carrey show). THank god my parents were at work because this would have been horrible. All in all i would never touch that shit again. Some like it but I had a bad experience so Ill stay away....

Bill Wilson (Founder of AA) took LSD through this therapy. The primary cure for Alcoholism is ... not drinking alcohol.

I disagree with that. Ive tripped both acid and shrooms and both were intense, but I would say were different types of trips.... in fact, I remember the visuals on the shrooms to be more intense and vibrant.. Comming down on the shrooms werent nearly as rough as the acid ( go figure) Thats LSD, the Acid nowadays has strychnine and all kinds of bullshit in it, and isnt the same as LSD back in the day.

One time, somebody gave me a chunk of modeling clay while I was trippin OMG!!!!! I went off on it! LOL

Where to begin? Lets just say SWIM (Someone Who Isn't Me) knew a dude who lived in a old missle silo outside Wamego KS. :s:ar-wars

 

[makaveli25]

had my first really bad panic attack tripping on acid.. I was at the park playing basketball all day.. I was 16 at the time we would play ball at the park and smoke weed all day.. I was actually in great shape! Anyway I took three hits of paper lsd.. There was four or five of us tripping and it was during the day.. When I started to peak we smoked a blunt.. That really got things going.. All of a sudden the girl that I had been crushing on shows up with like five of her friends.. I went into a pretty bad panic cause it was right in the middle of the day.. I wanted the trip to end.. The weed made it ten times worse.. People could tell something was wrong with me I just sat bymyself for awhile in the corner.. It was really shitty

Freddie Kruger and Macho Man Randy Savage

I'm 4 years older than my brother and definately a child of the early 70's. Turned my brother onto his first "trip". Took him to see the first Nightmare on Elm Street. He hates movies like that. Ditched him at the theater. I remember the pink, red and orange carpet moving like waves under our feet. He caught up with me later in the parking lot, between the trip, Freddie and me ditching him, he was freaking the fuck out. So I took him to a park in Chicago where we practiced flying elbows ala Macho Man while yelling, "OH YEAH!" Big bothers are great, aren't we?

My wife said that when she was a teen that her cousin. Gave her some acid (she's never done anything like that in her life) then took her to see Jaws. She talks about it every single time acid comes up as a subject.

What had happened, did they have certain "realizations" while under the influence that permanently changed their outlook of the world?
