LSD -- Ecstatic Childbirth

[relmnop]

Hello everyone

This is my first post to this forum, I found it while searching for information and hope some of you can help me.

I stumbled upon this book called 'The Ecstatic Adventure: Reports of Chemical Explorations of the Inner World' tonight at www.psychedelic-library.org and got to reading several of the chapters. However, I was most fascinated by chapter 20, entitled 'Ecstatic Childbirth'.

It is an interview of a woman and her husband in the 60's, and she talks about her experience taking LSD while giving birth.
You can read it here: http://www.psychedelic-library.org/books/ecstatic20.htm

She did this with her doctor's supervision and consent, and it sounds like a truly amazing experience for both mother and baby. I was so intrigued by this, that I began looking for similar stories. However, further information on this topic is extremely limited; I wasn't able to find anything even close.

There obviously have to have been other women who have done this (the chapter mentions four other women as well) and I am dying to know more on the subject.

Does anyone have more information? Enlighten me please

Thanks,

Ari

that sounds fucking NUTS!

Probably one of the most influential moments (or very long moments) to take LSD... Wow. I should take LSD when I watch my child's mother give birth . Hahaha man, that is such a radical idea. Thanks for sharing.

After attending the birth of both my children I would forever hate myself if I was off my face on drugs. I found them to be the most exhilirating moments of my life and I've never been so high as the first time I held each of my children in my arms. In my opinion no drug can compare to that feeling and it would be a tragic waste for such a pure emotional moment to be clouded by drugs.

Thanks for sharing the story but I say save the acid for a time when your child is staying over at your parents house so you and your partner can enjoy it together without additional responsibility. God knows once you have a baby you get prescious little time to yourself.
