psychedelics (mind-manifesting) substances don't have any particular effects of their own, they exacerbate and potentiate your preconceptions of the experience and other various facets of your psyche. what you're experiencing is self-created, there's no specific LSD effect besides perhaps a heightened susceptibility to auto-suggestion and amplified sensory perception. LSD is whatever you want it to be, simple as that.

wise man once said: "If a pickpocket sees a saint, he'll see only his pockets." more concisely, our perceptions are reflections of our own desires.

Oh the things we admit to when behind the screen of anonymity

I've only had acid (bad acid) put the clamp down on my whole spine like someone was squeezing it from the sides, all the way down. No good...

It felt like every one of my back muscles was constricted inward towards the spine, about to cave it in.

That may be true with LSD, MDMA and other synthetics.
But I would have to disagree with this notion regarding things like mushrooms and ayahuasca and DMT.
These two plants obviously have some kind of "intelligence" or "personality" embedded within them.
They show you things, especially with very high doses, that don't seem to be apart of the psyche (personal or collective).

Believe whatever you wish, but i stand by my previous statement. things are what they are, beyond that is subjective interpretation. now if you want to get down to the nitty gritty, the physical universe itself is an illusion including your sense of individuality; ultimately, just different frequencies of pran (energy) which are nothing but pure consciousness -- that's what our thinking minds transmute into a particle based seemingly solid reality. there's nothing to see as it's all a manifestation of thought and desire; you're creating your own reality right now. suggest looking into wave-particle duality; the rabbit hole goes deeper.

let me just emphasize one thing -- there's nothing i can say that you don't already know and it's the same for whatever you're "shown" with psychotropic chemicals; it's already within you, you're just remembering. love the saying: "you're the buddha, you just don't realize it yet."

I would say it even if it wasn't on a forum, it's nothing to be embarrassed about IMO, I'd announce it to a room full of people

A room full of people while under the grasp of this butt tingling LSD?

No chemical can have a "personality".  Or show you anything you didn't already know.  You can look at things differently, but you can't magically learn anything.

A chemical is a chemical.  Are you saying if you were to synthesize psilocybin, that it would be significantly different than eating some mushrooms, since you didn't have the "personality" of the mushrooms in there?

Every time someone makes a comment like this I can't help but think it's a crock of shit...
