    everyone is a shadowy monster with glowing eyes

    I used to live next to a big lake in Florida. One night while I was tripping, I walked out to the lake and shined my flashlight out on the water and saw hundreds of pairs of eyes looking at me. Figured it was the start of a bad trip and went back inside. A few days later (not tripping) I went back out with my flashlight and saw the same hundreds of eyes. Fucking gators.

    There’s no escape from a bad trip. Try mushrooms instead.

    Mushrooms can give you a pretty bad trip as well, but at least it doesn’t last as long as acid. My advice for either one is make sure you have people around that you love and trust - being alone or being with strangers can be bad news.

      Sober, at night, in the desert: Hundreds of eyes, like stars in the sky. Fucking spiders.

      I agree.

      Also, one can also mitigate the effects with induced vomiting, alcohol, or sleep. A batch of shrooms never has byproducts or laced drugs. If they’re particularly strong then grind them up, weigh doses, and encapsulate.

      I took my last dose of LSD more than twenty years ago. Everyone shouldn’t choose as I do because they’re not me. My only intent is people make wiser choices.

      Far more important than squabbles over which one is better to start with. I was an adolescent that took what was in front of me while back of car camping with friends, a few acting as babysitters.
