Did you ever take acid? What was it like for you?

Yep. In my high school days and early 20s, I tried LSD, peyote, psilocybin mushrooms, and mescaline a few times. They have similarities but are different, but I'll just describe LSD. I don't call it acid anymore because someone, years later, told that the word describes LSD that is cut with meth. Some of the LSD I tried was pure but I think some of it was acid because some trips caused a wired, teeth-grinding buzz, especially when coming down.

Anyway, It enhances colors. Colors can melt together like in those psychedelic projection lamps that have moving colored oils.
You see trails behind moving objects.
Even inanimate objects like rocks can seem to breath or at least vibrate at their own unique frequencies.
Your senses are heightened. Your perceptions become very sharp and you see details that you never noticed before.
You experience awe and wonder.
You become very in tune with you body and can almost feel and even see your blood flowing and organs functioning.
Your metabolism increases and you are immune to cold. Being lightly dressed in snow or lying naked on wet grass on a chilly night feels exhilarating, not uncomfortable. You may even be immune to pain. But it's not the same numbness of alcohol.
You have deep thoughts about the cosmos, eternity, nature and the miracle of life.
You feel like your eyes have been opened for the very first time, and that's true in some sense. You'll come down from the high, but you will be forever awakened.

You can get the giggles.

You can also get paranoid if your mind isn't settled or if you are with people who mess with you head or aren't cool. You need to be in an environment that feels safe with people who will take care of you.

You are unsure if what you are seeing and feeling are reality or hallucination. You have to remind yourseIf that you are high.

It's very hard to act normal. People can tell that you're tripping. You certainly don't want to drive, operate machinery, or do anything dangerous.

I was never out of my mind, thinking could fly or that a flame was a flower like in the way they portray LSD in anti-drug propaganda films. I still knew what was dangerous and wasn't without common sense.

I had some absolutely magical experiences at concerts and in nature.
One time, some friends and I want camping in a canyon that had a creek. At dusk, I took a hike along the trail. Before me, at one point, the ground before me seemed to be undulating. I moved closer and bent down to look. A carpet of thousands of brownish-orange salamanders were migrating up from the creek, across the trail, and into the dead leaves on the other side. Rather than observing it with mere interest as I normally would, I was transcended, filled with love and awe, as if I had witnessed a miracle.

LSD is very unpredictable compared with other hallucinogens like mescaline and psylocibin. It's a good idea to have something that brings you down if you want to use LSD, weed or diazepam is a good choice. The trip doesn't always walk in desired direction.
Sex on LSD isn't especially funny because of hallucinations and weird body feeling.

I remember staring up at my friends ceiling while it was sort of moving in waves, it felt like a few brief minutes but was actually over an hour. Compared to other drugs that make me feel numb acid felt like it sharpened all my senses and i was able to access a different layer of perception.
A funny story that came out of a trip though. I was going for a walk with a friend and a puppy a few blocks from her place had a reputation of getting out of his yard, he was out roaming around and I thought he was a pig and foolishly my instinct was to run… bad decision to run from a puppy. I was terrified thinking a pig was loose in the city chasing me. I ended up falling and having pretty nasty scrapes on my knees. My sober friend got a kick out of it.

I have, yes.

It was very mild of a trip. It obviously wasn’t exaggerated like you see in the movies. It just felt very slow or very animated? I didn’t see colors or anything like that LOL! But, it just made me hyperfocus on certain things.

I lit an incenses and just watched the smoke swirl into the air. It was pretty, it was relaxing. It just felt like a 6 hour cannabis high, except I was completely normal, but calmed? It’s difficult to describe. It was enjoyable, but I wouldn’t do it again because I don’t feel the need or want to.
