Maybe I would have gotten drunk less often in my early 20s (due to availability) and avoided this mess. At least all the acid I took didn't make me an addict.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009939.post-1138650912188127632006-01-30T14:55:00.000-05:002006-01-30T14:55:00.000-05:00You've brought up some fantastic points in a very ...You've brought up some fantastic points in a very mature manner and I commend you. In fact, you and some people who commented on this post are all in sync.<BR/><BR/>Why do we consume alcohol or LSD? To alter our perception. By consuming intoxicants we better understand our world. We see the world in a different way for a while and then we change back. We compare our experiences and classify them as different states of perception, or as real and fantasy.<BR/><BR/>This is how we define our realities passively - not by what's there, but by what's NOT there. We bombard ourselves with stimuli and gauge reality on our kneejerk reactions. Socrates said "the more you know, the more you realize you know nothing." Light and sound travel at finite speeds, so by the time you've percieved something it's already history. Who are humans to judge what is real? What is truthful?<BR/><BR/>Anyone willing to tune into alternate realities will see their own reality expand. You've done this not only by considering new possibilities in prose, but by sharing your findings and allowing people to comment. Posters here who tried LSD more than once did so because they wanted to delve deeper into the difference between reality and fantasy. Same with those who enjoy a drink or two or ten.<BR/><BR/>Even those who don't listen still hear. So keep speaking!Brian Damagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662206299975030548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009939.post-1138292162615727502006-01-26T11:16:00.000-05:002006-01-26T11:16:00.000-05:00Whether something is perceived as "natural" is a b...Whether something is perceived as "natural" is a big frame. I know a couple of people that think pot is natural, and took offense when I pointed out after thousands of years of domestication (and much increased chemical fiddling over the last 50 years), it wasn't any more natural than Prozac. At any rate, "natural" doesn't mean safe, or good, any more than "chemical" means artificial and unsafe. <BR/><BR/>(Getting down off my personal soapbox now).Sandy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08650640470141210550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009939.post-1138250455830556332006-01-25T23:40:00.000-05:002006-01-25T23:40:00.000-05:00I tripped on acid way more than four times.

I am not so worried about the actual effects of the drug harming me but it keeps me from sleeping and I tend to use poor judgement about things (like I might just decide to go on a twenty mile hike or something) and then I would pay for it later. It is a moot point though since I dont have access to it.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492622196581763316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009939.post-1138223636960260182006-01-25T16:13:00.000-05:002006-01-25T16:13:00.000-05:00I tripped four times as a young man and I have no ...I tripped four times as a young man and I have no idea whether it was dangerous or not, but man talk about thinking in frames. <BR/><BR/>It was fun AND?
