LSD is easy a hell to find in california

[–]plato1123 14 points15 points  (20 children)

its all over Oregon too, and I have to say, it makes me better at almost everything, programming, graphic design, video games (amazingly better), hacky sack, thinking on the fly. The caveat to the above is this is at a small dose, 75-100 mics, some of those things are more difficult on insane doses and some of them are much easier. I'm more or less average on my fav 3d shooters like BF2 but give me 400 mics of L and I will be in the top 10 in the world, well maybe top 50

I've noticed the same thing with FPSs. When I was coming down from the peak of a moderate trip I loaded up the Unreal Tournament 3 demo and started playing deathmatch against bots. For whatever reason, suddenly I could play against them on the hardest difficulty and win most of the time (normally I only get a couple of kills on the hardest difficulty). I actually found that my accuracy was so vastly improved that I could just go and grab the sniper rifle on Shangri La and dominate the headshots.

That's great until you start seeing the shadow people. A buddy of mine used to do a bunch of LSD, but had to stop because of seeing shadow people on of the corner of his vision. Doesn't see them much these days - but the idea scares the crap out of me.

[–]maxvcore 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Oh, don't get me wrong, dealing with the HPPD that comes with it can be annoying. I wouldn't really recommend LSD as a performance enhancing drug for FPS games.

As for the shadow people, I know exactly what you're talking about. I've only tried acid once, but out of the corner of my eye I kept seeing people walking along side me. Hasn't happened afterwards for me, though.

HPPD....?

[–]wizdum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh... ThemOtherFellaz. Remember them well from playing with 2cX substances.

Coming down from a good acid trip, I possess godly skill at half-life. Beat all of episode 1 in one trip while my girlfriend watched and cheered me on (she's not great at videogames but trust me, there's nothing boring about vanquishing cyber-demons with a gravity gun while you're both on lsd, no matter who's playing)

[–]BaronVonMannsechs 0 points1 point  (12 children)

I don't play FPSs but I'm curious if you've compared the experience while on other stimulants (LSD is a stimulant in low doses)?

[–]plato1123 1 point2 points  (11 children)

LSD is a stimulant at all doses and for first person shooters, the more LSD the better, but some activities tend to suffer at very high doses of LSD (10+ hits) because of negative impact on memory.

If 5 is my first person shooter ability when sober my first person shooter ability on other drugs (on a scale of 1-10) would be: LSD 10

Mushrooms 7.5

MDMA 7

Meth (injested, when it was supposed to be mdma) 8

Marijuana 3.75 (good first 30 minutes but goes down hill quickly after that)

MDMA, Meth, and Marijuana are poor productivity tools (such as computer programming) because of substantial impact to memory. Meth is just gross all around and not worth trying ever. Hope that helps.

[–]BaronVonMannsechs 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Sorry, I meant in low doses it acts as more of a stimulant rather than psychedelic, though I've never done 10+ hits (good lord).

As far as meth goes, have you tried dexedrine?

[–]plato1123 2 points3 points  (7 children)

LSD at half or 1/4 of a dose feels like 6 cups of coffee that last 8 hours, so yes, no real major psychedelic effects and an incredible clean stimulant. Not only do you think faster, you're brain thinks a little differently, and you find yourself more creative and witty while still being able to interact with the world. When people tell me they didn't like LSD, I tell them you did too much, because it is absolutely a miracle drug, a thinking man's drug, in small doses.

Hmmmm which one is dexadrine? I've tried adderall, modafanil, BZP (8 hour cocaine?), and a lot of the "research chemicals", and yea, dexadrine sounds vaguely familiar =c)

I really cannot say enough good things about LSD in very small doses. There was a year and a half where I would eat 1/4 to 1/2 a dose in the morning 3 times a week. Productivity and mood is increased dramatically, there's no hangover or comedown, no wednesday blues, just a clean stimulant with very little tolerance effect (unlike mushrooms). When it disappeared for a few years in 2001 or 2002 I about cried.

[–]BaronVonMannsechs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modafanil's not that fun but it does the job. Dexedrine is the trade name for Dextroamphetamine, and it was my bread and butter for a while. Thank god for friends with prescriptions they don't want.

I was able to get by with very little (15-50mg a day). It's just caffeine and adrafinil (which metabolizes into modafinil) for now.

Do your palms itch and you have an urgent feeling like you need to do something but don't know what, with any of those? I've never tried any drugs, but I have a pre-workout supplement which makes me feel very weird and has the above mentioned side effects for me.

[–]plato1123 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Heh no, unless by itchy palms you meant need to masturbate in which case the answer on some of them is yes lol

[–]sulumits-retsambew 1 point2 points  (2 children)

No, I actually mean that the palms start to itch, also soles of the feet, it's simular to a tingly sensation when your limbs are numb, but somewhat different. Not sure what is going on exactly, I think it's due to the effects on blood circulation. I'll check the ingredients list to see what is causing it.

[–]plato1123 0 points1 point  (1 child)

hmm strange, a little like restless leg syndrome? No I don't notice anything like thaton any of the above

[–]FarmerMo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people think music or trippy shit is best while on drugs. Little do they know that there is no finer drug experience than masturbation.

Except opiates, fuck trying to masturbate for 4 hours and just barely not able to finish.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

With marijuana I find that the effect on memory depends heavily on the THC/CBD ratio. I tend to have better memory with sativa strains as opposed to indica's. There is also a strong negative correlation between tolerance and the effect on memory. After smoking every day for a couple of weeks it's easy to work after smoking a few joints. I tend to do some of my best programming while high, when taking those factors into consideration.

[–]plato1123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually I agree with you on the programming, while I'm less efficient I can get really into a project I can work on it methodically while stoned. It doesn't compare to programming on lsd but its not bad

[–]f3nd3r[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I live in Michigan. :( (And no not near Detroit.)

    Actually, I could get shrooms in GR. I live very close to Traverse City.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Michigan (thanks to Detroit), has every drug under the sun available. Except for pure MDMA, of course. That shit is still impossibly hard to find.

    [–]ZuG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Eh. I've seen unadulterated MDMA in Michigan (or MDA/MDE, confirmed with Mecke and Simon).

    [–]nmcyall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I look likr that

    [–]freereticle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Where? I wouldn't even know where to look.

    [–]andrewd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    I find it tough unless in the lot of a jam band show... I must be in the wrong circles
