hey everyone. i have some questions about lsd. first off, im an architecture student and an artist, and i am really excited about the possibilities of how lsd could change my art or help me express new things, but i am a bit nervous, as expected. i have done shrooms twice, the first time being a small dose where all i had was uncontrollable laughter for a while and slight color distortion. the second trip was about 4 grams and resulted in awful stomach and muscle pains that ruined my night, not to say i had a bad trip but i spent a good two hours while tripping, on my knees throwing up; it was my first true trip though. i have robotrippted 6 or 7 times and other than the few side affects, i enjoyed creating art while under the influence.
now on to lsd. a ten strip was given to me by a friend of mine who had nothing but praises about lsd, but told me nothing in particular about the dosage of the strip. its plain white blotter. so im thinking of going with just half a hit to test the waters. i dont want to be so preoccupied while tripping that i wont be able to draw and sketch so is half a hit going to help my ideas become more fluid? what else can i expect? i know people are going to say its hard to explain because im sure it is, but can anyone give me some sort of idea? will it cause any sort of stomach or muscle pains?

eat 1 hit to test the potency. if its bitter spit it out, its not LSD. It will enhance your creativity and all your senses will become enhanced as well.

Never noticed any stomach or muscle pains on acid, I usually describe the body high such as it feels like every pore in your body is "stretching", just like the feeling of stretching your arms in the morning. Using muscles on acid (like walking and stretching) is actually quite euphoric. As for staying focused on a specific task I cant say I've had much success although I never really try to, pretty much always get distracted and think about other things. I play the keys myself but I've never produced anything realistically worth wile under the influence of acid despite how much fun it was at the time.
Mushrooms have actually had a much more apparent and productive artistic influence on me, but it totally depends on the personality of the tripper and the task at hand. To add just about every artist I know who paints/draws takes acid or has in the past, and it seems to me it's only done good things for them.

Thats a really cool reason to make a thread.
I think what is most important about lsd as it pertains to artistic development, is the after effects.
Like Dali said, "take me, I am the hallucinogen".----> (A bit much if you ask me, but I understand what he was saying).
Start with one hit. Really....
You have taken 4 grams of shrooms, so one hit will be nothing like that in the way of physical discomfort or psychedelic effects.
One hit should be great. You might not even want to draw. I find that part of what I "take back" from the psychedelic experience is the most important part of this "artists tool".....lsd.
As for your art. It sure as hell will do something. Its very hard to explain how your present approach to your art will influence what you gain artistically from the psychedelic experience. Depends on the artist.
If you look at my photo gallery, you can see how lsd can change what you like to make and like to look at.
Some of the pieces are meant to be almost like a portal.
I have alot to say about this because im a musician and visual artist. I was just always good at the arts. Specifically, music, visual art, and linguistics.
It can work wonders in a weird way. You just need to be all natural. Take your own path. Nobody here including myself will take the time to tell you how this shit works. That would take forever and would not really convey much of it unless you wrote a book worth of knowledge.
As an architect, you should be amazed by lsd once you try atleast a hit.
A natural birth.
You will likely one day find out why psychedelics are inherently connected to your creative abilities.
Depending on how much you take of any hallucinogen, they can seriouslt screw with your abilities, and or or drastically change them/ your approach.
The after effects are most important.
Hope this helped.

thanks so much for the post. i was just thinking about when i take any sort of drug, my memory becomes completely shot. as in, anything i do while taking any sort of drug, i have a tendency to forget once i come down. you can take a look at some of my art in my gallery. i tend to be very rigid in some of the things i do, which im sure has to do with the influence of architectural drawing on my art, and am hoping if i take half a hit, that my ideas will flow better. honestly, im not looking for any crazy visuals or to trip "hard" for 12 straight hours, but im interested if it will help me become more creative and start to access ideas that are in the back of my head but i have not yet been able to express.
thanks!

that art in your gallery does seem to be very rigid and dry. Its some cool stuff though.
Perhapse you will understand curved lines better after using lsd. Depending on you, you may never want to make a truly straight line ever again.
No "rulers".
Cool art though.
Reminds me of walking through chicago. Dirty, but cool to look at.

Haha!! So true, and I feel the same way about making lines with music.

The trip itself of course is pretty crazy in a fun way, but I think the most beneficial long term effect is a new level of understanding of concepts you thought you already understood. It may make you see things in ways you didnt notice the first time. After trying a LSD I actually had an urge to become an architect because I suddenly viewed buildings & their designs in a completely new way. I never really had an interest in architecture but I started noticing how cool buildings were and studying the detail of their design. I turned out to be a linux admin but that's beside the point

thanks a bunch, to me, art is very personal. the things i posted up are a fairly recent attempt that I made to show how i was feeling at the time; showing how sometimes at work i will drift off and dream, mixing fantasy with my actual architecture work. its rigid and dry at times because i often have to put up that side of my personality to make it through another work week.
ill let you know how my weekend experiment goes and put up some of the things i try to do, regardless of how crazy they may look

all LSD that ive had has been bitter exept a gel tab and it was all good even if it was some other RC. which i doubt do to the size of the blotters being one fifth the size of a penny.
But yes you can get nausious but its not as bad as the nausia you get from 4+ grams o shrooms

I've had bitter blotter that was legit acid. And I'm pretty sure there are blotter RCs that aren't bitter. It's not a sure sign. That said, RC blotters sold as acid are pretty rare these days, as RCs are properly illegal now. It's never happened to me.
Mushrooms are usually a lot gnarlier than acid, for me and for many others. They are more likely to cause anxiety and physical discomfort including nausea, aching, and other indescribable but unpleasant sensations. If you properly channel the energy, you can convert this into dance... it's true. The discomfort also causes a see-saw effect, and some of the most beautiful and mind-expanding mushroom trips often start with or at least include a period of severe anxiety and discomfort. It's very yin and yang.
That said, take a hit of acid, like yageman said. Chances are it will either not do anything (if it's bunk, which does happen), or it will give you a neat, interesting trip that is not overwhelming or uncomfortable. Even higher doses are far smoother sailing than mushrooms, but it can't hurt to test the waters. It's quite different from shrooms and you may enjoy it more.

yeah what made mushrooms so undesirable for me were its waves of nausea. although, in retrospect its pretty interesting to think about how i would feel so sick and awful and it would die down, then 5 mins later the visuals would kick up again. anyways, im a bit excited for this weekend, hopefully its nice so i can walk through the common before i start drawing. also, none of my roomates are going to be joining me, but i should probably tell them what im doing right?

have fun dude.
The commons should be nice and dont for one second be afraid of one hit of lsd as a first time type deal.
Thats kinda how you should do it actually.
There is paper lsd that would scare the shit out of you at the 3 hit mark. You almost certainly dont have that uncommon amazingly weird shit, so just take one considering your intentions.
All I can say is dont follow that guys advise(take 2-3).
You dont know what you have and that is fucking dumb advise.
