o0o I haven't been here in a while.. I read some responses to my last post, and I would agree with the notion that the freezer tends to kill potency.
I have a more troublesome thought though. I don't know if anyones known a group of people who liked to do acid.. and known them for a while. But how did they change ? I mean, at first my only idea of acid was what a bunch of drug faschists threw at me, schizophrenia, flashbacks that end in manslaughter, etc. Then when I first began fucking around I did so with the confidence that it only triggered latent problems that were already there.
But it would seem that anyone I've met that has done more than drop just a handfull of times.. and kept dropping and.. well they're all nervous, strange people. I mean, Maynard.. fucking genius and a half.. I've heard him speak.. he seems to have a hold on reality and shit.. but he's definitely.. altered. I know this one kid who only took it once a year ago and he said he hasn't found his identity since that day, and he's been a mess ever since.
What the fuck is this ? Are mental problems inevitable ? Why does this happen ? I mean, I've had a couple of very uncomfortable experiences where I thought maybe I was going to get stuck. But after the drug wore off I was fine. But there seem to be many who experience adverse effects well after the trip is over with. I'm scared that this will happen because apparently, statistically, it happens tosome, and me and a good deal of people I know enjoy this and one of my friends has recently started having a lot of panic attacks.. and no one really wants to say it might be because of drugs but I think we all suspect it. I'm also scared I'm going to mind fuck myself into it, which is definitely usually the case when anything bad happens while transcending.
There's also this, which can be found on Erowid:
"Well, there's the study by Sidney Cohen which was cited here
recently, Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 130, 1960. The
following is from Jay Stevens' Storming Heaven: "Cohen surveyed a sample
of five thousand individuals who had taken LSD twenty-five thousand
times. He found and average of 1.8 psychotic episodes per thousand
ingestions, 1.2 attempted suicides, and 0.4 completed suicides.
'Considering the enormous scope of the psychic responses it induces,'
he concluded, 'LSD is an astonishingly safe drug.'"
Now, I could very well bewrong. But I was trying to do the math. .4 completed suicides per 1000 people in a case of 5,000 people is 2,000.. like.. 2 out of 5. Really ? Is that correct math ? I'm really horrible with numbers but I think that might be right. And if so, I'm suprised.
The reason why I'm worried is because so far, I seem to have handled it very well. But I was trying to use Google and was reading all these people who said they ateshrooms, dropped acid, all that, in their younger days, some of them until they started to feel weird, some until they had to get real jobs, w.e the case was.. but then that later on they started getting panic attacks that felt and looked just like lsd trips. Anyone ever experience this ?
