Interesting to see the variety of experiences, some enjoyable some not. I myself have totally lost count of how much LSD I have taken over the years, it would probably number into the hundreds easily. I am not here however to go on about quantities taken! :)
As for side effects of all this 'activity', I have had few if any at all, and certainly not to the same extent as what has been described with voices etc. I have however had a friend who took just one dose of LSD and totally lost it. He was a pretty normal average guy (whatever that is) who smoked heaps of weed and drank a lot with us. All that changed after his first trip. After about an hour of taking the LSD he began to notice a pain in the front of his brain, kind of headache like. Obviously sensing things were not quite normal, he went home and infomed his mother of the situation. Naturally mother flipped out and he was rushed to the doctor. Consequences?
OK, so as a result of this he never took acid, smoked pot or got drunk ever again (to this day!) quite incredible, but just shows how different some peoples reactions can be.
I think before trying any psychoactive substance, a person needs to be very comfortable with who they are because those conceptions can be critically challenged during the course of a strong LSD trip. Magic Mushrooms are likewise very similar in the way they can reveal things to you that you had never noticed about yourself, both good and bad. If taking these sunstances in a supportive group (which I HIGHLY recommend), a lot of the risks associated with LSD can be considerably minimised. TAKE ACID WITH FRIENDS!!I took acid by myself a few times just to see what it was like, kind of a test to see whether I could handle it. The first time was sweet, no hassles. Tried again a couple of years later, and things were not good at all. I got very depressed, tripped out on Elvira on TV and wondered where my life was at. Pretty sad, but no long term damage.! :)
To sum up, By taking LSD in a supportive environment you will greatly enhance your whole psychedelic experience, and learn positive things which help towards a greater understanding of your relationships between yourself and friends. Phew..
