Think of the last
chapter as a brief, general introduction about LSD. There was nothing
in that chapter about what actually happens or can happen during an
LSD trip. As important a part of preparation for the experience as anything
is to be as familiar as possible with the most unusual kinds of things
that can happen, so that it won't be such a shock if some of these things
do happen. You'll be plenty shocked enough by LSD.
If at any time during your trip things are getting so wild that you are questioning your sanity, be assured that there is nothing wrong with you, nothing at all. Always remember that unusual things are happening because you took the LSD. You knew in advance that something completely different than anything you have ever known would be experienced and that whatever it is, it's all right. Just because you're not used to it doesn't mean there's anything wrong or unnatural about it. So, enjoy the show and what a show it is! You may go into your trip somewhat worried that you might flip out in some way. Once you get into it and are having the time of your life and realizing that this is a very special experience, the only thing you'll be worrying about is that you won't flip out enough and will eventually have to come back down. It's a shame when it's over and you are back to conventional reality, which can pretty much be described as how one feels on Monday morning. It's like "Why did I have to get kicked out of heaven and go back to hell again?" With the help of LSD, we can have heaven here on earth. Shouldn't heaven on earth be the most important goal? The only reason it's not happening is that virtually no one thinks it's possible. There is no question that it's close to impossible for the foreseeable future, but it's not impossible later on. It will happen sometime in the new millennium, but heaven on earth won't happen without LSD or it's equivalent. So, what specifically happens during an LSD experience? To begin with, it may be that nothing will happen. There have been people who have taken LSD, never gotten off on it and wonder what the big deal is. This was happening on my first trip, a mescaline experience. A friend was also having his first trip and he felt the effects of the drug at the expected time. I was feeling nothing different. More and more time went by and it was still nothing. Not until I smoked some marijuana did it finally happen. If an unusually long time goes by, like 2 hours or more, without any sign of the drug's effect, then try some marijuana. That should do it. It's as if, in your body, the marijuana is going over to the LSD, snapping its fingers and telling the LSD to wake up. When the LSD wakes up, then you will be tripping. The odds are strong, though, that you will feel the effects of the LSD and not need marijuana to help bring it on. You will not feel anything right away. It may be a half hour, an hour, or even an hour and a half before anything happens. When you start to feel or sense something different, it will usually come on slowly and gradually so that you have a chance to adjust and get used to it while it keeps on coming. No matter how strong it gets, it's all right. Don't fight it. Relax, go along with it and remember that thousands, if not millions of people have done this. |
