Are there really people who think this is true...?

LSD is a dangerous drug....it brainwashes you. Ever hear of the acid=heaven on earth theory? You know who 'started' it? You know how many followers it has even to this day?

No, LSD won't bring heaven to earth. It's good for cosmo/reality/etc exploration...and that's cool...but you have to stay in touch with your own reality. If you're asking "is this computer actually here?" you need to stop eating acid.


Be careful....seriously. It's easy to let your own reality slip away from you. I've been there. I have plenty of friends who have been there. It's not fun....and once you stop eating acid and figure this out, you feel a lot better.

It's 'good' to an EXTENT.

me and my friends once had a 3 hour, stoned conversation about whether the room and everything in it actually existed, and how we could prove it. lol. that damn book Problems Of Philosophy.. I knew I shouldnt have read it :)

Overusing psychadelic drugs is terrible. YOu lose your sense of reality and illusion (as stated above) and have a high chance of developing some form of schizophrenia. Look at Syd Barrett.

Many cultures use drugs as a way to spiritually enter other dimensions and stuff like that. Ppl have been doing this throughout history. Many religious groups insist that certain drugs do indeed allow us to open up other dimensions.

Maybe having so many regular ppl (ppl who do drugs recreationally, not for religious purposes) say that drugs open up new doorways is confirmation that drugs do have the ability to do this. I mean, who's to say that these other dimensions don't exist?

But it depends on who's saying this and what context it's in. If they're convinced that they're in la la land and see green elves everywhere, then that's probably not the same thing as taking peyote with a religious group and being able to open up spiritual avenues.

It's alright to explore the posibilities of other dimensions, spirituality, etc...but you can't lose yourself in them. I'm talking about people who took too much acid, and quit their jobs to follow timothy leary....or drive in a bus around America to spike punch with acid and fuck up so many people....or people who were convinced that this substance could be used as a mind controlling chemical, so they dosed eachother and unsuspecting civilians with it to test it.

It's alright to explore the cosmos of acid a couple of times....but this is the most insane drug there is. Be careful with it. Respect it.

it all makes sense to me man, its like basically a giant problem, just that our brains aren't advanced enough to figure them out yet [i.e., the meaning of life] well this probaly helps us opening parts of the mind we coudn't imagine doing on our own. I dont believe in anything as a drug, i take it more as something that will help me open up my mind, let me see more than i can see not on my own. Yes its true some people do believe in the 5th dimension the speed of time or whatever it is

yes it happens it happened to me with speed and lasted weeks i thought serious shit was happening all religious stuff and that.I thought my ex was god for real.Ithought all indians were like the devil and when i was taken to hospital i was put in intensive care i was nearly dead at this stage 8 days not 1 wink of sleep.I was seeing grey clouds around some of the people and i was sure they were dying so i told them man i was a froot loop will never take that again ever ever fucked me bad i was on antipsychotics for a whole year and they suck.

speed? speed is slightly different to acid.. LOL

Imo these ppl already had something wrong with them to begin with. These ppl were already hanging off the ledge of sanity. I guess acid was the catalyst that made them finally let go of that ledge. I really don't believe that normal, sane ppl with common sense can be normal one day, then take acid and believe that they're god and that they're going to the mothership the next.

I dont know if its fair to think of taking certain drugs to get to a "higher level" of existence or perception. True you can see and feel incredible things and have a mind fuck but once youre body burns through the high its just like youre left with a somewhat hollow memeory that you cant feel so you just end up living for the high and questing for that feeling. I have very mixed feelings about psychotropics(sp?) but i think its just another way of looking at the apple..

I had a point to all that but i seemed to have lost it/ramble off
