Well we grew the plant and chomped on the pods! Taste like green beans too. But before that we did buy the seeds from the store and then we did something to them to make them less able to induce vomiting. I cant really remember what it was, soaking in 151? Or crushing them up in a pepper mill and soaking in water? Something like that. But the trip was seriously intense. I had also been reading hitchhikers guide at the time and I clearly remember being taken on the heart of gold and dropped off to hang out with a mattress-like creature called Zim. Then to a place like a weird maze?? Inside-out house with Lilly?? It was damn strange.

hmmm, interesting to know. I currently have several plants growing on our balcony. Grown for the dual purpose of prettiness and experimentation.  I gotta transfer them to a bigger pot though when I get home (if it stops raining!  ) When do they typically begin to drop their seeds? Lazy question, yeah, since I'm going to be doing more research when I get the chance.

oh shit I almost forgot this one too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_baby_woodrose we had been using the morning glories for a while and then Tim ordered these things from the internet! They worked great! Much better than eating a shit load of morning glory pods/seeds. You only need to eat a few of these woodrose seeds, and they work very well. 

Hm. Never heard of these before, at least not to any length if I have, though the same sounds familiar. I'll look up more on this when I get the chance.

Thanks!

Any questions?

what is the best drug in the world?

[trippinprincezz13]

Holy crap.  $25?


LMNO
-would rather get a decent bordeaux.

That's why these days, acid is only a once every 6 or so months thing for me.
Though, fucked if I pay $25 for a tab, my sources get them to me for $15 usually.

At the festival we went to, I think we paid $10 a tab. Course, prices are different there and all...coulda gotten a free bag of shrooms when we first came in. Haven't really seen it around much otherwise. My boyfriend' brother's friend got some at the Badfish concert we went to. Hope he didn't pay much though, cuz it was pretty weak, IMO.

I agree with your and Cain's opinions on the subject of underlying psychological affects. And at least trying to be smart about it if you're going to do drugs....unlike my friend who took E everynight for a weak straight...and wondered why she felt so awful afterwards.

I'm not sure about when they drop their seeds. I was not 'keeper of the plants' that was my ex. I just looked at them and said, "oooooh pretty." We don't have any plants now. The woodrose seeds are really great. You should check them out when you get a chance.

Insofar as LSD messing you up, I may have to go with the opinion that it will if you were already going to suffer a mental break in the first place. I say this only after sitting in a state run mental hospital for about 9 days after a particularly intense LSD experience.
It was only after said experience that I became aware of my families history with depression, and mild schizophrenia.

I had tried LSD in the past with some mild side effects that generally lasted up to a week or so. These side effects were as I said mild, but still weird. I would see trails and be unable to shift attention quickly in situations that required multitasking. Also I was more so attracted to shiny objects and was prone to see a 'deeper meaning' in most anything. This lasted for a period of up to one week and then diminished all together.
My next few trips were not as intense and were very nice. I had a great time and was eager to try LSD again.

However my last trip was not so fun. Well the trip was great actually, I felt wonderful but the problem was I felt too wonderful and for too long. The trip went on and on it seemed. Well after all my friends had come down and went to sleep. I did not sleep for more than one hour at a time for up to three weeks. My behavior was increasingly erratic and made no sense to those around me until finally my family urged Tim to bring me to a mental hospital.

During the 'trip' that lasted so long I felt extreme empathy to everyone and everything. I could not stand for my friends to talk about anyone in a negative light, (even people I really did not like) because I immediately recalled those negative traits within myself and everyone who ever lived. My ego was gone, I was everyone and no one all at once. I could not watch any movies because I kept 'knowing what would happen'. I would see meaning in everything, profound truth and what not. Ultimately I would empathize with someone, or a concept so much that I became that person/thought for brief periods and would act as if I was indeed that thing which I imagined. Needless to say that was pretty fucking crazy.

I was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and made to take all kinds of drugs, but eventually I got back to 'normal' or as normal as anyone can be I suppose. I just want to say that before my last trip I had been researching the LSD experience, but through Terrence McKenna and his ink. I was sure I was at a place where I could not only handle the trip, but could benefit from it as well. (I was fucking wrong  )

When I did come back to 'reality' I found whole swaths of information missing from my recall. I have had to re-read most of my books, but even now I have trouble recalling the information as rapidly as I once did. I can compare my journals from before and after and I can say it's like I am a completely different person now.

I'm not saying don't do LSD, or LSD will fuck you life up, but really I feel that no matter what you do or how you prepare for it LSD can cause you to go batshit insane. If you or your family have any strange mental tendencies, or you are under any kind of emotional distress, pick another drug, or not it's up to you. Everyone is different and all that. I still have some left over from that 'experience'. I seriously doubt I'll do it again unless Armageddon comes in 2012, but by then I'm sure it may have lost it's potency.  I'm not at all saying DRUGS ARE BAD NEVER TAKE THEM, but I am urging caution with this particular drug. It sucks cause I used to have a good time on it too.

Interesting story.

Very interesting - thanks for sharing, Raph.




Lys - your "" response confuses me.

Question: Now that it's been and gone, was it worth it?

I've been batshit insane myself and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I'm always interested in the perspectives of fellow travellers.
