Seems like it's something you have to do at least once if for no other reason than so you could talk about the shit intelligently when the topic comes up in conversation.

I have never even smoked weed

I haven't either. I don't get the fascination at all. I also have never been drunk though. According to Luke and X, it is because I am a control freak.

Well, I would never actually do it. But out of all the drugs you hear about, LSD also seemed like it would be the most fun. I went on a trip with a buddy from bjj a couple weeks ago to compete, and he was talking about his acid trip so passionately and vividly. He also said that I would probably like shrooms. But alas, i will never actually do any of this shit, but I can at least understand the draw a little bit.

What I will do and would like to do is sensory deprivation.

It was not good.

I also did mushrooms. That experience started out fantastically. During the first half I heard music in a way I never had before and felt very connected to this girl I was with. But then for whatever reason the shit just took a turn for the worse and became kind of like the acid experience.

A lot of people get off on hallucinogens, though. I had a roommate several years ago who would do the shit a few times a week. I think a lot of it has to do with personality. You might actually like it because worry-free kind of people seem to have more pleasant experiences. But you also have to worry about LSD psychosis.

Wow, that's pretty messed up. But... steve jobs did it.... so, you know its legit.

I got super paranoid and started to worry that the people around me were plotting against me. I was feeling all fucked up when everyone else seemed to be having a good time so I was wondering if they intentionally slipped me something to make me permanently insane. I was considering suicide if it didn't wear off after 24 hours.

What happened when you took lsd?

[SPX]

how much weed were you smoking? I recall you arguing that one or the other was required for sanity. If i was going to start using, i would probably use lsd.

I haven't smoked any weed since I left California. I just had to come to terms with the fact that if I drink then I'm not going to school the next day. And school is important. So no drinking from Sunday night until Thursday night.

And I dropped acid once. It was not pleasant.

It is just video game use as an adult that strikes me as strange

I rarely play video games anymore, but I won't say that I don't get it. Games today are designed for adults anyway. I guess I kind of think about them like movies, but you get to control the characters and make shit happen.

Wreck it ralph lookspretty good. I actually was alive and played video games in the 80's... so i get it. It is just video game use as an adult that strikes me as strange

I have not allowed alcohol to touch my lips since last Saturday. And tonight, that madness stops!
