could I naturally have a tollerance to LSD?

[druglessdouglas]

last night a friend came round with a lot of beer and some sid. the sid was very mild indeed but combined with being awake 2/3 nights produced some interesting visuals. for eg i kept seing people walking back and forth in my hallway. i could make them out clearly in my peripheral vision but when i looked straight at the hall there was nothing. my keyboard was pretty crazy all the letters changed to chinese characters and moved around in sworls.
but psychologically i had virtually no changes. that may have been all the beer and lack of sleep. ive ordered some more sid so ill experiment without beer. its good to experiment

The closed-eye trip for me enters into a world of semi-lucid dreams, sometimes getting buried in layers of them almost forgetting how to get out. In this state the visuals are frequently manifestations and hints of my internal processing of thoughts, memories, words, sounds etc.

I've gotten into that state too in the past days by smoking cannabis and laying down eyes closed. The visuals are pretty BIZARRE. They lack the normal "3Dness" our eyes see and nothing stays solid for more than an instant, which reminds me of how dreams are constantly morphing about. I can influence them a bit but it's really curious how they have a bit of life of their own when 10+ minutes pass by. I believe we do this also but without really "doing it", like the heart beats without us minding it.

But this is maya!! I actually try not to pay too much attention to the imagery because I want to see past them... I've read Dr. Lily's tank experiences and I remember him mentioning these same dreamy scenarios but he said it was transitory... I wonder if after the crazy visuals there's like a plateau of clear headedness.....??? I don't know if my lack of a tank doesn't allow me to go deeper because I usually remember the "outside" world since I'm at home and can still hear my family around... and after a while I start worrying that I might fall asleep... although there's always the possibility of going lucid 8)

Maybe I could try with more intent next time.. what do you think is going to happen if I keep going at it?

oh and do you think the brain simulates metaphors for changes in consciousness??? (as in the common feeling of the never ending fall when entering sleep)

and I know I can bypass all this with good ol' lsd! I'm planning a super big trip in July but until then I can fancy with these sort of things

I have gotten flashbacks from all drugs I've taken from smoking cannabis

I also get those bizarre visuals when I smoke a lot of weed and lie down listening to music But most of the visuals I get on cannabis are not really visuals, I don't see anything with my eyes, but some very clear images pop in my mind. Most of the time it's beautiful and/or interesting, but sometimes I keep having flashes of bloody and violent images, like people getting shot or repeatedly hitting someone else with a knife. Pretty hard to sleep :S

if you take a drug for gaining consciousness and personal healing, you let the drug do whatever it needs to do. Trust the drug and don't cling to the superficial effects.

Yeah, this happens to me as well if I smoke a lot of weed/hash, and especially if I eat it (you DO trip if you eat enough ). I don't often find those visuals to have the depth or connection to memory and the senses that LSD visuals have... But they are often really purdy nonetheless. I smoked hash a couple days ago for the first time in a week, when I was going to sleep that night I saw a series of of hundreds and hundreds of nearly parallel lines forming weird geometric patterns...

But what I do find on cannabis with my eyes closed is that I can delve deep into past memories and get imagery of places I was and the feeling of where I was, and the imagery becomes somehow incredibly clear and vivid. Or I can imagine things so clearly and vividly it almost seems to interact with the visuals.

Also I agree, I think our minds are always creating imagery. Long before I ever took entheogens and the like I still saw imagery frequently with my eyes closed before going to sleep. Especially after a good day in the outdoors, or just a very happy/relaxed day. When meditating or in a trance too you can get extremely clear and even three dimensional imagery with your eyes closed, at least thats how i find it.. cannabis totally changes this imagery however, it seems to have some sort of life of its own..

Anyway I <3 weed.

I've definitely tripped on weed.

This is why we say that the imagery has a bit of life of it's own... but this shouldn't worry you, as I said earlier you also do this... if not, who does? When I see bloody and gory stuff like that (not usually) I see it as funny and over the top wankery... a kind of practical joke of the mind

I am sort of new to the whole LSD scene and was very excited to get my hands on some legit stuff for the first time, and I took one about 4 days after I got it and didnt feel a thing.. it was sort of a small tab but I had many friends vouch for the quality of the cid and one even tripped off of one he also got, but I didnt trip at all. I recently took another tab that was bigger than the first and the only reaction I got was that I became really emotional, thats it. Could it be that I have a high tolerance to hallucinogenics or what?

To answer your original question, yes you could have a natural tolerance to acid. Every one reacts differently to every substance, but more than likely you just got a bad hit or you just weren't in the right set or setting. Ive taken acid and just had the mental effects with very little visuals, but this i attribute to both set and setting. Set being high expectations and setting being driving around late at night with friends(I don't encourage driving around on Lsd but we were in a quiet neighborhood late at night not driving more than 25 mph) .

My advice to you would be to clear yourself of all expectations, make sure your in a good mood, and find a setting your confortable with I.e no one you feel unconfortable with and a safe place to fry.

Hope that helped
