LSD made me think up some weird shit, that I think were beyond the general effects of the drug itself. (IE, feeling awesome, seeing rainbows around light sources and laughing at everything.)
Some of the ideas I got, including making up an organ called the Sardius or thinking that Little Tim was haunting my town and all sortsa weird shit was indeed out of it and innovative, I suppose, but never did I feel any form of influence or motivation to go on from them, including the deeper ideas I had about things which can’t be translated into scenarios. I can see how some people would write songs and poems about their experiences, but despite my drug and booze littered teenage years, I was always able to keep a clear mind and draw a difference between the effects of whatever altered my mind and senses and what real life is. I said I was doing it for fun, and despite how retarded that was, it was true.
My dad used to tell me that was just because today’s acid and LSD is garbage compared to what he took in the sixties though haha.
I’ve also taken cocaine, which makes you feel like you can fist fight a locomotive, but other than getting your foo ass killed or hurt, it didn’t do much more than that. I never made it a habit, it costs so much, too. People ruin themselves this way.
Mushrooms are kinda like LSD, but slightly minor, and by that time I was depressed all the time so the trips were always horrible…but on the same side of the track, not horrible enough to kill myself, or write creepy poems based on my experiences.
I smoked plenty of weed too, which just amplifies everything by awesome plus ten million lol. (It does the same if you feel like shit, so watch out.) I gave that up when it just made me throw up everytime after a while, I still dunno why it does that.
It would take too long to elaborate on the experiences, so the point I’m trying to draw is that whatever the drugs did, I was able to like, view it as the altered state of mind it is, and not to take the experiences too seriously…within reason of course. You have to be careful while fucked on shit, and sometimes, especially with LSD it’s hard not to take what you experience seriously, as anyone who’s done it would prolly agree. Your perception changes, and besides making up internal organs and crap, I started ’‘understanding’’ how some things worked, what people were thinking by them just looking at me, and even contemplating the existence of a cardboard box…if you remember your reasoning upon the deeper things after the trip though, it’s all bs, at least, for me it was.
It might not be…
Which can be dangerous too, especially when this occurs to more realistic things; like tyring to lite a smoke, driving a car and so forth.
But basically, I saw it as dressing up my mind to go out lol; just for fun lol.
These days I drink like a pirate and for reasons other than just having fun, so I think I was pretty spot on about my approach to drugs.
That is, besides that I could have just not taken em, and hopefully they’re not subconsciously responsible for my boozehoundness lulz.
