Those who have in the past tried psychoactive drugs, what was the good and the bad of the experience?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) January 19th, 2010

Let’s assume for avoidance of self incrimination that anything you disclose happened well beyond the statute of limitations, say back in the crazy 60s when everyone was turning on, tuning in and dropping out; and we are in no way discussing current behavior.

What did you take. What did you like about the experience? What did you not like? How did you avoid dependence, or if you became dependent, how did you break the addiction?

If there were some vacation Fantasy Island where you could currently go and all the worlds intoxicants were legally available for use under supervised conditions where there was no risk of overdose, bad reactions could be medically treated, and you could not get a supply sufficient to become addicted, what would you want to take if you won a week’s vacation there?

my biggest piece of advice is to NOT mix molly and acid and then ride the subway in times square at 1am. i’m just saying….

What would I want to take if I was spending a week there? Everything. Why not?

@Samantha_Rae That certainly doesn’t sound like my vision of Fantasy Island. Was there a little short guy in a white dinner jacket running up and down the subway car yelling “The plane… the plane!” ?

I hated acid. It was just terrible for me. Maybe I did too much of it…. The only drug I miss, the only one I’d do again, is x….oh man I loved x. Although, I do enjoy oxycontin as well. Anyway, moral of story is, don’t do drugs…ever.

I took LSD and mushrooms. Both were fun, acid leaves too much chemical after burn and mushrooms taste like shit. Duh, they grow in shit. I stopped because I got too busy running the rat race to spend much time in the rabbit hole, but it was a blast. Never have I laughed like I laughed when I was trippin. No, I highly doubt I’ll ever do it again, fun as it was I can’t see myself having a good time now, too old for that kind of nonsense.

Both Acid and shrooms are fantastic, I like the hangover acid leaves you in the next day far more than the trip itself, it’s like a day off. Mushrooms give me far more psychedelic trips than acid, acid like fries my brain, and sends each and every brain cell on it’s own unique roller coaster ride. A large difference between tem. Also I love DXM, shit may be over-the-counter and a bit choice of middle school kids everywhere, but it’s really a fantastic experience.

Some potent salvia extracts, 40x and beyond, would be fantastic for quick bursts of intense tripping during milder periods on other substances. I’d definietely bring some ADD meds, prefereably Adderall XR’s to stay alert and awake, as sometimes I don’t fully experience my trip doing to be tired.

Fear and loathing in Las Vegas- great movie about guys on acid. I’ve never done acid, and didn’t want to after watching that movie!!
