I definitely believe the flashbacks are real depending on what your definition of a flash back is and how much LSD you have done in a certain amount of time.

I used to have a pretty big supply back in the day and was taking about 3 hits a day for a week straight, then i dropped it down to tripping about twice a week for a few months. When I stopped doing LSD all together every now and then I would get a quick blur come and go and my eyes were more sensitive to certain patterns. Like there was a carpet with this funky pattern on it in the local wendy's and it used to seem like it was moving a bit, like one of those optical illusions that make you see movement when it really isn't there. That kind of stuff only happened when I stopped doing LSD. Again, it was nothing major, but just slight optical illusions type stuff that would happen every now and then. After a few months of not doing LSD it stopped happening.

I consider that a flash back. If you consider a flash back seeing purple monkeys popping out of nowhere and then disappearing, then no I haven't had a flash back :)

I haven't heard of anyone who actually got a flashback either. But drug use could trigger a phsycosis, and that's something like a long nasty flashback. That said, a phsycosis could be triggered by a divorce or the death of a relative also. Anyway, you would need a shrink afterwards to get you on your feet again.

If you don't know what the symptoms of a heavy phsycosis, I tell you it's the symptoms of a typical nutcase. You know, those people who barricade their house because they think somebody's out to get them, or they think it's war outside. Really paranoid, no contact with the real world.

But this happens very rarely. If you intend to end up like this, I believe long-time use of amphetamine is the best way.

Some really good stuff there. I hate methamphetamine's, they would turn me into a hyper crazy guy. But I had some really good times with ecstacy back in the day. But e drastically changes your way of thinking. That is a whole nother topic though. :)

A friend of mine spent 2 years doing acid, he got flashbacks for about 5 years afterwards
I've never tried it but he was really anti-social during those 2 years.

yea, e does change your way of thinking... jesus.......
i had some rather strange experiences on that....

Ahhhhhhh LSD those were the days! The thing I remember most about my LSD induced days were the clarity of thinking. As many might agree. No problem could not be solved. I remember one trip where for the majority of it I was in theology mode and was working on the concept of God. No problem. LoL. I had it all worked out, I was telling myself (and others!) that when I came down I would tell the world about my new found views and so on, I had cracked the enigma of God. When I did come down though, these ground breaking concepts had flown the roost. They were no more. Another time I set my tape recorder going and jumped behind the trusty turntables and spun a few tunes. At the time I thought the mix set was the best ever, hands down better than the best Dj's in the world. The thing was when I listened to the tape a few days later I realised it was totally ****! :) Thats the thing about LSD it takes an instant in tiime or a concept and expands it into a million possibilities all of which you can think on at once. Only thing is to the outside world its meaningless. Now if the whole world were on LSD THAT would be another matter.....

ps To quote South Park 'Dont do drugs, drugs r bad mmmmmmmmmmm'kay?

:hippy: :hiphop:

1. Well used properly (hardly at al that is) it´s fun and can even be educational (as in getting to learn yourself) But always keep in mind that you have to be honest with yourself, if you don´t feel good don´t do it. Also people with a weak psyche should also keep away from it.

2. Yup, kick ass drug

3. Well you can read about the history almost everywhere. However, there seems to be alot of contradicting info out there, especially concerning the military experiments but I´ll try to get what´s stated here right. Here comes the very short one.

1938 the first lsd saw the light of the day in Switzerland but it was not untill early 1943 Hoffman actualy gets "exposed" to it. Later the same year he intentionally tries it again at an controlled doasage. (250ug) Hoffman continues to use lsd for the rest of his life (but at an lesser and lesser extent)
Supposedly CIA´s first experiments with the drug started in 1951 but didn´t "get going" until 1953 in the MK-Ultra project. At the same time lsd is being introduced into the medical world and is used in treatment of alcoholics. How long the drug was used in a medical sence I don´t know either but a rough guess would be somewhere in the 70's.
It´s however not until early 60's (around -63) that lsd hits the streets and this is in the form of sugar cubes. (liquid acid absorbed by the cubes)
In the 70's the blotters come and here in europe these are still the most common ones.
I don´t know when gel tabs showed up but since I´ve never seen any here I don´t realy care. ;)

i dont trust gel-tabs. blotters or liquid are usually the most pure... its either LSD, or water usually...key word
usually

i dont see how ive said nothing each time....

Keep in mind that it is unpredictable. You can use
it many times, and think you know what to expect,
but then it can surprise you.

The 2nd thing is that you become sensitive to environment,
and very open to suggestion. You start out in a good mood,
but something wierd comes down and you can't get it out
of your mind.
:cool:
