I have tripped many,many,many times and have many friends that have also. We all agree that after a number of LSD uses the chemistry in the brain is irreversibly altered. I.e. I am not the same person I was when I started....or 15 trips later. The changes may be imperceptible to someone not in tune with his or her psychology. But in my experience and in the experience of many others I have spoken to at length you loose a bit of you....Maybe a good bit, maybe an evil bit. I will always worship the experiences themselves but I will never retrieve what was lost.
The long-term effects of LSD depend upon the personality and emotional stability of the user as well as the amount and length of time the drug was taken. Besides flashbacks (which I never had), LSD use can create long-lasting psychosis, schizophrenia or severe depression(nor any of this). The exact way that LSD works on the brain is not yet known, therefore the potential damage cannot be fully recognized.
If anyone has an opposing point of view I will be very receptive to hear it. Life is made up of experiences. I can only speak definitively on mine.
How are you different? Please be specific with maybe an example or how you wouldr eact differently in a common situation (ie social interaction)

I personally seem to be able to understand people more, be more in touch with their emotions and body language. Anyone similar? Makes you take a step back and take things in more

See.. that is what i would want. I would like a change like that.. and i think that is a change you could have without losing any of your personality and stuff.. but from what it sounds liek, a lot of times there ARE instances where you lose 'part of you' like your personality. that is what i DONT want

I feel like i have only gained from the experiences i've had. I have no idea what poeple mean when they say they feel like they've lost a part of themselves. I see how it may feel like loss because you have lost your old ways of ignorance, but to actually lose something from tripping just doesn't sound right to me.
Limelight, i felt the same way as you do before i tripped. I was content with who i was. But no one is perfect, and if there is something, anything that you would change about your self, psychedelics are likely to help you get there.

The differences are not deficiencies, you can operate at a high level still. My defined adult personality is just different, and before someone gets all psychological and clever the differences i speak of are not due to external forces or society. My life is excellent, no trouble at all in social situations. But I am ...someone else...not totally mind you. It is nearly impossible to articulate the many subtle changes that constitute this...change that I speak of.
I can only speak for myself and of those I have conferred with. If anyone chooses to disagree I encourage them to do whatever makes them happy. Life is short, just know what you want to extract from it before you do anything, be it spectacularly psychedelic or domestically mundane.
