Definetly LSD. It was discovered by the most unlikely accident and has always had an elusive pie-in-sky, gold at the end or the rainbow feel to it. Experimenting with LSD caused people to make some of the most influential and game-changing discoveries and innovations from the structure of DNA to computer engineering and music.

LSD was at the central of the hippy movement of the 60's which in turn gave birth to the anti-war movement and similar movements as welll as the beginning of massive interest by western peoples into things typically not common in the west like alternative lifestyles, eastern religions and philosophy, meditation, yoga, mindfullness etc. Regardless of whether you dig or hate these things they are pervasive in the western world largely because of LSD.

The James Fadiman experiments that showed amazing increases in creativity and problem-solving with LSD would alone be enough to grant it the prize but combined with everything else its the obvious choice. The fact that a tiny microscopic amount of an odorless and tasteless chemical can have so much influence on world history, culture and the individual is pretty amazing desu.

For most people that arn't emotionless robots who take a decent amount of actual LSD in a good setting find that its one of the most significant expetiences of thier entire lives. A good strong LSD trip is incredibly sublime.

it can cause you to feel like you have amazing insights into your own mind and behavior and allows you to see all these differant ways in which you could act, think or interact with others in a way that benefits everyone and makes you happier

the extent to which people cam remember and then follow through on these insights while not tripping differs from person to person though

at the very least it helps people understand better how others perceive them and it ususlly helps people say less stupid things if that was something they had an issue to begin with

Acid is the weirdest thing /lit/
>>
>>7500960
i guess, it's like dreams, maybe one minute it's amazing, then super anxiety, then intense fear, then happiness, etc. the best way to describe it is like dreaming while you're awake...so i guess you could have a bad trip like you have a bad dream...in my most intense trips it just sort of went through waves of "fucking crazy" which is like when there's all kinds of crazy shit swirling around you and everything is moving and splitting like a prism and shit, and people seem like some weird things out of a funhouse, to some stage of "holy shit!" which is when you aren't even thinking about the people or things around you and have just sort of "gone solo" into the trippy world, and everything is slower and mellower and you're just kind of lost in your mind...but i think the only "enlightenment" i really got out of lsd was, and you're going to hate this but just bee yourself. for me being on acid, any kind of fakeness or "fronting" about something just caused a lot of "unpleasantness" and so for a while after tripping you just won't want to put on any kind of fake anything...of course as i aged i also got to this naturally, but when you're late teens early twenties, there is a lot of social "tribal" pressure to be something, and it can make you feel bad on lsd, at least for me...so the best thing you can do is be completely authentic with yourself and others. also, you might find yourself thinking of times you were a dick to people around you and how necessary it was and tell yourself you're not going to be a dick to people (but like a week later you'll be a snarky lil shit again)

every drug is differant but this >>7500994 description is generally true for the main psychedelics like acid, mushrooms mescaline. audio hallucinations uually consist just of sounds sounding weirder or cooler but on high doses you can hear non-existant sounds or have some transformed to sound way differant. Thia one time on a high dose of mushrooms i was walking down the street and i thought the people walking by were screaming at me when they weren't even talking.

Forget reading about what you see. Everyone does this mistake when they first try a hallucinogen, it's right there in the name. Wow, it makes me halucinate? I wanna see fractals and cool shit too! And yeah sure, heavy fractals are some of the most beautiful things i've ever seen, but when you're in the trip it's rather difficult to just stop and look at the fractals since the trip itself is far more interesting.
So what is a trip? Why would people take lsd if not to see cool shit? Tripping is just a different way of thinking, all your emotions are heightened and it's a constant rollercoaster with no stops. The visuals aid the trip, as it is very clear what you are thinking / the entire world around you changes with your mood etc. If you wanna read about the cognitive effects of psychedelics before jumping in there's an excellent website for that: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Cognitive_effects_-_Psychedelics, and there's also a page in there for the visual effects if you've seen some weird shit down in the trip and can't figure out wtf you saw.

My personal recommendation for a first trip is:
1. To not read far too much shit before your first experience, ruins the novelty.
2. Be somewhat experienced with high doses of weed, psychedelics are extremely different from weed but it is absolutely necessary to be able to "let go" and lose control, let the trip take you, when you do large doses of acid and the like.
3. Take 2-300ug LSD with a sober, experienced, tripsitter and have the perfect "set & setting". Yes 200ug+ is a high dose but if you wanna trip you need a high dose. An alternative if you don't have an experienced friend is to do the normal thing and build yourself up to a higher dose with 100ug, 150ug, etc. I dislike such low doses, not much happens and you'll spend a lot of time being bored and anxious but if you don't wanna dive deep your first time this is the way.

Hope i helped someone with this wall of text enjoy your trips guys.

Nootropics are not "drugs" per se, they are a group of substances initially used to treat Alzheimers and neural degeneration in general. For example: sulbutiamine is vitamin B1 (tiamine) on steroids (figuratively), it helps maintain mental health, etc. Read up, the substances are (for the most part) safe.

the thing is, and this is something you can learn from lsd is, this always happens even when you are sober! the world is what you project on to it based on your mood and/or ideology, it's just when you're on acid it's 100 times stronger and you are conscious of it

the point isn't that they're 'bad,' just that they're largely fun distractions. nothing wrong with that in itself, if that's the way you want to live go right ahead, but if you're looking for a life of the mind you should avoid a lifestyle of heavy drug use.

in addition, you often find yourself projecting patterns and shapes onto blank surfaces (pavement/walls etc)
objects "breathe" (subtly inflate and deflate)
red colours are often more visible (compared to others) at night due to the structure of our eyes, this is amplified

i have felt 'closer to nature', which is incredibly vague. I once felt I understood absurdity as a philosophy to an extent I hadn't before (on shrooms) - something that seems incredibly unlikely now, presumably the thoughts I was having just had more resonance, I was in a better mindset to 'feel' them. (pleb-tier philosophy anyway). I imagine most of the new-age stuff is something to this nature, priming and suggestion. hallucinogenics were used for religious purposes after all, set is a big one.

yeah...wouldn't rec. morning glory seeds. Did them last spring with a friend, approx. 150 seeds, ground, steeped in cold water for 4 hours, filtered through multiple coffee filters, drank the liquid mixed with OJ (pretty nasty brown liquid desu family) and then vaped some weed when stomach started to feel achey.

Ended up feeling like my body was in a weed-high for 3-4 hours, had some slight auditory hallucinations, far off voices saying my name. None of it was scary or 'bad,' just probably not that much worth the effort. Also experienced increased euphoria, not unlike that from weed.

No experience with Tor, but I would honestly probably just get on deepweb and order your pure lsd ohana.

Thought you were supposed to use alcohol, not water, to extract LSA from morning glory seeds? At least, that's how I remember my roommate doing it when we tried it when I was in college.

not the guy who posted that but differant brands/types can have vastly diffferant LSA content, especially if you are talking about gardening store brands vs ethnobotanical websites

You're a fucking moron. They do the exact opposite. Weed, shrooms, lsd, dmt, salvia, all make you trip in a way that can potentially scare you so bad that you never want to do them again, they create situations where the brain has to work harder to comprehend the sudden change in environment and mood, grasping the concept of visuals and sensations that can be created by the brain, fear, heavyness, the shock of suddenly seeing something you had always looked at a certain way in a completely different light, it can make you love a movie or hate an old favorite because you're seeing it in a new way, and this is literally every single aspect around you and inside your body, seen in a different light. You have no idea what you're talking about and should quite seriously take into consideration killing yourself for a minute improvement of the world.

I've done psychedelics before, many times.

Nah, I didn't. I would fucking love for you to point to the sentence where I did. God I would fucking love that. Right now you're literally pretending that I'm doing something and then attacking it, and when called out, you go deeper into this head canon you've created for yourself. You're fucking sick in the head dude. You need help. Maybe you should do some drugs.

>>7502498
No one is enlightened senpai. It's all just people that are disillusioned into thinking that their thoughts are right, and that took the initiative to pursue the way of life that comes with them or share them with others.

An individual can take psychs, have the realization that everything comes from the same point and time, and is therefore connected in some way, whether it be by sheer entropy, a material level, spiritual or whatever, then go on to spread this idea.
The same individual can take psychs, realize how everything we perceive is made up by society, fall into a downward spiral, deconstructing each aspect of their personality and way of thinking, then spend the rest of their life locked in their house, wishing they were dead.
In both cases, they're just as 'enlightened'


I don't know where I was going with this. Someone please finish it for me or simply call me a fucking retard.

This. I lived both scenarios that I talked about, didn't take it as far as turn into a preacher or a shut in. But psychedelics made me both the happiest and most depressed I've ever been. In that order. By the end of it all, I was back where I started in terms of understanding the people around me and my own existence. Found that the best thing to do was not to think about it and simply enjoy life.

Enlightenment is an infinite amount of knowledge. Expanding your mind to the point where every single thought is inside of you. You're always approaching the infinite. Humans can't attain enlightenment.

Ego death isn't a meme, I've seen friends have it, it was like they were being reborn. From my point of view it is fucking useless though. The friend that had it turned into a huge addict right after due to the 'realizations' he had on it. He does whatever he gets his hand on.
Psychedelics are beautiful, but using them to try and attain an unattainable truth is pointless, and frankly a waste of what could be enjoyment.

>>
>>7502628
> then how will anyone ever achieve it

Well that's how language works. Like if you call someone stupid and in their opinion they aren't.

Personally I think it's being satisfied with the present, understanding that you got here through a series of events starting with the big bang or god or whatever you believe in, you are where you are, and you can either change it or not, but be satisfied with whatever decision you make. I think a lot of confidence and stress reduction comes from this.

But that's just me
>>
>>7502439
look i don't deny that the substances you listed induce introspective thinking and can be beneficial to the intellect (though admittedly i've never tried dmt or salvia), and perhaps my phrasing was imperfect. the point i was trying to get at is that regular drug use, even of the aforementioned substances, is coddling. a single lsd trip can potentially change your way of thinking, but if you're doing that shit on a regular basis chances are you're just seeking the hallucinogenic thrill. i'm not anti-drug by any means, i just think moderation is key.

true experience of the new. being a child again in a prison of warped senses, everything develops perspective. i heard the ticking of a clock slamming forward then twitching directly back to where it started for what seemed like hours, the sound was like a cannon, the clock across the room grew closer, towering in my field of vision.. heh, once i was laying on a giant easter island head made out of several layers of different drugs, while surrounded in a tomb of gold as saul of the mole men fell out of my television after it transformed into a plasma screen, upon his splintering past the glass, he was followed by a flood of phosphorescent liquid composed of colors i had never seen before. there are levels. one is the dramatic feeling of otherness in all things, and the overwhelming fluctuating senses, the other is being unable to discern reality from fucking crazy dream world of wtf. once i was one of my own blood cells, i felt like i was surrounded by a womblike red tube, riding a rollercoaster, hearing the soft screeches of terror and exhilaration, while the ever present sound of "glub glub" pushed everyone forward. eventually i realized glub glub is the sound my heart makes from the perspective of my cells. i am glub glub. glub glub is life.

give vipassana or insight meditation a shot.

basically, quiet your mind and then allow your thoughts to return. Observe them, without judgement or attachment, as though they were separate from you. Then follow their source to gain understand of your self.
If this sounds easy, then you're doing it wrong. It can actually be quite brutal sometimes.

Any of them could be, no? What's a literary drug, one that is fun to be on while reading/writing or one that would give you experiences that inspire you to write? I guess there are fewer that would be fun to read/write on due to how much you can focus. There's only one drug I've ever done alone, and I did that once, and I ended up playing smash for hours and I fell in love with the AI/character I was fighting. So I've never read on drugs before, really. I've written a little, but it wasn't anything I've managed to use, but I still reread that stuff occasionally.

Off that tangent, every drug can cause literary inspiration, but the inspiration is usually different. Cocaine is good for the on top of the world feeling, weed is good for the comradery/relaxation. It all depends on what feeling you want. Feelings are literary. No feelings is a feeling and is therefore literary.
