If you are going to use LSD tags in your posts, please make sure you’re wholly educated on the topic. I become so, utterly disappointed when i scroll through LSD tags in search of wonderful quotes, images, stories, etc - and end up finding posts from young people that are written out of pure…
I think the cop is blaming on LSD effects that seem to come from stress or other problems.
Of course he had a bad trip, if someone is on LSD you need to provide POSITIVE stimulus. It’s stupid to attempt to remove stimulus because that forces the individual to turn within and the person’s mind will roam, and if you’re already concerned or scared, that is all you will feel on LSD, and it will be a hundred times worse.
The only time I had a bad trip was when I was in a room with no stimulus. I was with my boyfriend and he wasn’t on LSD so he went to sleep and I was left alone with what was in my head. I wanted something to do, but there was nothing. I started to feel anxious and stressed because I felt trapped, then I was scared because my emotions were escalating. This is probably what the cop felt. He was afraid from the start, then he was left alone to dwell in his emotions and fears. If he had had someone with him to distract and relax him (it’s very easy to convince someone of something on LSD, tell them everything is okay and they will believe it).
It was through LSD that Charles Manson’s “family” was persuaded to kill people, something they wouldn’t have done for any other reason. This shows you how susceptible people become under the influence of LSD. So if someone is having a bad trip, calming them down by saying positive things is very effective.
You also become easily distracted while you’re on LSD, it’s easy to curve someone’s bad trip by taking their focus away from the source of anxiety. Much like you would do with a young child who fell and hurt his knee by showing them a toy.
It’s good to have a phone on you that you can use to call someone you trust when you’re having what you think may be a bad trip, call someone and tell them what’s going on.
Regardless of how large the dose, LSD is not toxic, so there are no real physical side effects. However, a bad trip can have symptoms like those of a traumatic event, not because of the drug, but because of the situation your mind created while under its influence.
It’s good to be aware of what you are feeling, I told the people I was with when I had my bad trip MANY times that I couldn’t go home, that I would feel bad, it’s their fault for being selfish and not respecting my state, forcing me out of a place where I felt good to a place I didn’t want to be.
As I said before, it’s easy to convince someone of something while they’re on LSD, you can’t argue very effectively, and you should make sure you can trust the people around you before you take LSD, especially the sober ones who have power over you. Make sure they are willing to ensure you feel well.
When you take LSD, be aware of the fact that the effects will last several hours after you take it, think about what you have to do in those hours. Will it be a positive situation? Do you have something to keep you busy, or do you have to go home on your own in three hours?
I adore LSD, I have anxiety and am prone to panic attacks, but the drug allows me to enjoy hours of pure, child-like worry-free enjoyment, it makes everything around me new, every time I see everyone and everything as if I was a child, because everything appears new, different and interesting. It’s really wonderful and more risk-free than any other drug, and after using it I feel “light” for the next couple of days or even weeks, as I re-live the memories of my LSD trip.
