What does LSD really do the brain?
    #13971896 - 02/16/11 01:55 AM (13 years, 17 days ago)

I have been wanting to try acid for quite some time now. I have heard that now days it's really all just bunk stuff floating around but on a couple of occasions I have been offered good LSD. The reason I am skeptical about trying it is the numerous stories I have heard from people. I have heard people trying it just once and then having HPPD for 11 years. I have also heard people say they've tried it once and it was the best choice they ever made and changed their outlook on life permanently (I.E Steve Jobs). That is why I have been hesitant to try it because it seems very Russian roulette. I have had good experience with mushrooms on low and high doses and LOTS of experience with weed and ecstasy so I think I would be able to handle it pretty good. I still just don't like the idea of my brain being changed permanently, whether for the better or for not. It just seems too risky. Does anyone have any studies showing what LSD really does to the brain? What causes people to have HPPD and stuff for the rest of their lives? Is it just genetic?

Can't really answer your questions, but if you've had no problems with mushrooms, E and weed - then you should be fine

Sounds about right, should be all good mate.

A lot of people fine LSD an easier trip than mushrooms so if you've tried them abit everything is cool and you should have some idea of what to expect from the cid.

Happy trippen!! :trippinballs:

Who knows I personally think it supercharges our brain to a higher potential than a sober state.

Most of the stuff you've heard from your friends are probably made up bullshit stories. Also, people claim HPPD is a horrible thing. To be honest, I enjoy its presence, and it's actually hard to notice it. In fact, I only notice it when I haven't slept for 18+ hours. I only notice VERY VERY slight morphing of things in my peripheral vision, nothing that I'm directly looking at.

Oh and you can get HPPD from mushrooms as well as acid. So enjoy.

My mind is altered from lsd, I see it as a good thing, probably not the best thing I've ever done, but it's all good.
I have a much greater sense of value and appreciation for everything.
Ever since I've done it, I've become more outgoing, friendly, confident, and I think a lot more about everything.
I feel like ever since I took it, I've removed a mask that people use to control me, it's a bit difficult to explain.

personally, i really liked this article. if you want it simplified for you, go to the pharmacology boards, i'm sure they could give you a nice watered down version of this.

I enjoyed acid immensely. I only have short freaks outs but everything feels so beautiful and intense and alive and I enjoy living and breathing and just being so much on it that the bad part never lasts long (come ups sometimes sneaks up on me and that part takes me off guard!)

Yeah there are people who have bad trips but I really feel the majority of people who do acid have a really good time.

It is a partial agonist to the 5-HT2A receptors-- primarily in the raphe nucleus.

LSD is safer than most prescription drugs and does not harm the brain or body. Period. The rest is up to you: in the right set and setting, this is one of the most powerful medicines in the world for psychological healing.

It's actually quite simple what LSD and other psychedelics do to the brain. The brain is basically a computer, and when you take a psychedelic drug some of the routing and processing circuitry gets stuck on. What you are really seeing (at normal doses anyway) are projections of mathematical errors such as division by 0, 1+ theta error, and operations involving imaginary numbers- countless numbers of these errors. The error is then processed as part of the physically sensed reality creating the beautiful patterns that are seen.

Beyond this, if your brain gets too many errors it will crash and reboot as most computers will. This experience is called by most ego-death. The mind then deprived of the sensory input from the "machine" of the brain than turns inward toward the source of consciousness. At this point one ventures from the physical mechanics to the metaphysical construct of reality itself.

Have you got a source or somewhere I could read more about this?

Im taking a physiological psychology course at the moments and I feel like I could answer this question the way academics do but that would not be the answer you were looking for at all. The real truth is we don't know how the experience is formed from the physiological processes we see being altered. People will tell you all kinds of things like it removes the filter of information and opens the floodgates allowing sensory overload. Or some will just tell you the technical process like "LSD when introduced sub-lingually acts as a metabrotropic agonist for the 5H2A receptor sites."

Though if you ask someone in any neuro-field they will pretend to know; but really we still have no idea how the conscious experience is derived from the functions of the brain, much less how LSD alters that consciousness.

Wow. You guys got me really excited to try it now! Is it similar to shrooms though? Because I really don't like shrooms, at least for the first half all it feels like is just pure confusion. I don't see how anyone can really get "high" at least on the peak of shrooms.

People who express that sort of disdain for the shroom experience typically have no problems with LSD. Way less jumble in the head, more ability to move around (more energy) etc. I personally like shrooms better but to each his own. IMO Shrooms are more spiritual and LSD more intellectual.

It's similar - but less confusing and more energetic

Just make sure your somewhere safe and comfortable and you'll have a good time
