Drip Curl Magic Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 The use of LSD for experimental research, please believe me, was not banned just to indulge an ignorant whim. -- RH. Point most definately taken. I'm interested to see what the bad trip to good trip ratio is. With as little relevance as it has to the actual point at hand, I'm just curious. Does anyone have any articles that cover this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perplexity Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 eh, no matter, I suppose. No matter what I say or do, the nuerons in your brain will fire about me how they will. about you? :cocktail: I'd thought that this was about LSD. You remind me of E-Sangha, with all this self consciousness about the ego. --- RH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remind me of E-Sangha, with all this self consciousness about the ego. --- RH. in my original post, I made example of myself. and on top of that, Your posts feel like personal attacks. Sorry, mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are all sorts of articles, but I would worry that this is not really congenial to that sort of research anyway. In my humble estimation, the danger with LSD is rather to do with personality changes not immediately noticed, nor measurable, but suspected in the long run. I have no way to absolutley prove that it affected me, because there is never the life that would have been otherwise to compare this one to, just that awfully sneaky feeling of "what if..." that persists indefinitely. It therefore frightens me; it really does, when people talk of LSD as being relatively safe simply because there is no obvious brain damage or anything else directly attributable. Life is much more complicated than that. How do you assess scientifically the psychological effect of somebody regretfully saying "....you've changed so much; I have never known anybody change so much". It haunted me for years afterwards, the loss of who I was to that person. -- RH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarantism Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 i can also say from personal experience that ego softening is a side effect of LSD use. infact, it is one of the only effects noticable at small doses. of course, you dont realize that you are most sociable or less shy or nicer until AFTER the experience. but ego loss is an effect of most drugs, not only LSD.

I suppose to satisfy my curiosity, I'd have to be asking questions that are better composed. I, too, feel a deep identity crisis within myself. I was involved with a few other nasty chemicals as well. I'm not gonna get into that. Even if there isn't any noticable extroversial changes in my behavior, I can feel internal struggles that were exaggerated with drug use. My encounters with this drug were very recent. I'm still recovering. This is a very non scienctific post. Sorry, science community. I'm having a really emotional night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
