most threads about drugs on here are ususally morality debates or question 'have you ever taken them'? for a change im asking 'what is the most profound experience you have had with drugs'? what is the coolest moment, or the worst?
for me, i smoke weed every day and pretty much always enjoy it (though i have been getting high less easily recently), and haven't tried any more 'exotic' drugs (LSD for eg). so my coolest experience was a hallucination of the wall bulging out towards me after smoking loads :)
worst experience was last year in halls of residence, when security came to tell us we were playing guitar too loud (at like 3am, so completely fair) and they saw the sock over the fire alarm... and the weed. thankfully they turned a blind eye (yay UK reclassificaion!!) but that could have been bad

The best was when I got drunk, stoned and ripped on shrooms before setting my hair on fire. Apparently it was a scary moment for the people who witnessed it as the grease in my hair caught.

Had some bad cake (we suspect there was LSD in it)... I myself wasn't bothered too much. I laid down and kept saying to myself that it was just the drugs playing tricks with my mind. A friend of mine, however, got really depressed up till the point that he thought he was gonna die that night. Pretty fucked up
Oh.... and I had to do a presentation training the day after, while being really fucked up

Most of the drugs I took weren't the sort that really give profound experience. Opiates and amphetamines, mostly they just gave me body highs.

another good one: we bought some 30x Salvia extract (legal, powerful herb... 30x is quite strong - £35 for a gram!) at Download festival last year and smoked it all between 3 of us in the tent that night (along with many beers and lots of weed). it was fairly trippy - the hanging torch from the top of the tent was so interesting and made some cool patterns... lol - but the best bit was a indescribable feeling of just being happy being alive. that was nice.
lol i realised how much we hotboxed the tent when i went out for a slash. came back in and it was like a fuckin fog :p

umm,, probably not lsd in the cake. LSD is unstable at room temperature, as in that it will decompose in contact with sunlight and many other things at room temp. Not only that, but baking the cake (assumin it was in the batter originally kinda dealy) would again cause it to decompose.
Prescription painkillers are the best. Nothing beats that clear minded, frantic energy they induce in me. A rush that I still long for after two years without one.

I'm fairly sure lysergic acid can survive some of it at least, based on what I've heard about wheat with ergot fungus getting into food and giving people hallucinations...

Ya said the key word there about ergot fungus. Its not lsd, instead being one of many possible precursors in the manafactur of lsd. Obviously it has some psychoactive properties itself, or formed a psychoactive compound within the mix. Also LSD isn't lysergic Acid, lysergic acid is LSA (tho it is also psychoactive, to a much lessor degree,, its also alot more stable) LSD is Lysergic Acid Diethylamide.

Smoking is fairly common thing, so there isn't one spectacular experience that rises by others, except maybe the first time it really effected me and I layed on the floor listening to Hendrix at a friends house. I understood the word 'relaxed' for the first time in my life.
I don't like acid and will not do it again, but one of my best days ever was with some friends. We dropped and went and saw Star Wars at the theater I was a projectionist at. There really is no 'seeing god' kinda thing going on or anything like that, it was just a shared experience that was pretty incredible.
Also on acid I watched a train go by after wasting my dose watching that Jennifer Lopez dream movie, whatever it was called. No way to understand that unless you've done acid.
'Shrums are fantastic. I don't do them that often mostly because they are hard for me to get and since I think thats a good control method I don't do anything to correct that. I watched the Lord of the Rings movies on shrums and I was there...man....I tend to want to be home when I 'shrum, so there isn't one thing I like doing or seeing-I just want to be safe.
I also LOVE video games and rides when messed up because I refuse to drive even high but I love motion or the illusion of it which is what video games and rides give me.

Tripped out on schrooms today during school. It lasted from 9 (first period) to around 1:30-2 (last period). It was rather insane. Trying to do group work in biology, duing the peak high was impossible. I had to stay silent and just watch my peers' faces melt and hope the walls didn't breathe on me.
I came to a rather important revelation. The people around me are complete idiots and I'm surprised they aren't failing. They must to work so hard to retain the marks they have, which is hilarious, because I can not come to school and go on crazy psychedelic trips during class and still make honour roll.
Those Magic Eye dealies, where stuff morphs out of a background pattern, but there's no actually *change* in the pattern? Everything was like that. During the peak, during Bio, the teacher was talking, and her face would go all 80s-poster-style on me, as if the world suddenly only function in 256 colours. The most common thing was where objects would suddenly become outlines, or the negative space between objects would be filled with a rainbow border that would just continue and circle in on itself. If I stared at say, the floor, it would quickly split into several layers, each semi-transparent and slightly skewed laterally from on another. Then the colours/blobs would start to swirl, get bigger and smaller, do all those typically crazy 60s pattern things.
Desks were fun. The spotted grey pattern on the desk would almost immediately phase into different levels, and a pattern would come up, created by lighter or darker lines of the desk's pattern. They were sort of Aztec-like, and very strange. Very clean and pretty though, if I'd had the motor skills I would have loved to draw them. Very simple, very bubble and curvy, with right angles and soft-right angles... they were awesome. It was very much like the 'glowing lines appearing from rock to draw a design' effect you often see in movies.
In the beginning, I could see sound. When people spoke, ripples would move outwards in a perfect circle, but they were 3D ripples, but I could still see perfectly right through them. They would extend, freeze, crystallize, and when I blinked, fade away.
It was an awesome experience, but I wouldn't do it again during school. The murmur of people talking was very unpleasant, and I'd much rather be in an environment where I could totally let go and just enjoy it, stare and touch stuff. Like a small colourful quiet room all alone, with some music and a notebook. And some crazy artwork.

For me it was in college, which made the whole thing a lot easier.

I love to travel. Some of the coolest experiences being:
Smoking joints with Rasta's in the mountains in Jamaica. No such thing as passing joints. Everyone smokes their own to themselves, as a result, you get really high.
Hash in a narjile pipe in Syria. Fucking scary as shit going through military checkpoints when high. Dudes pointing machine guns at you wanting to see your passport...well, that was a not so good one I guess.
Ayahuasca in the Amazon with a shamman spiritual guy. WHAT A TRIP!

Completely fair stand point. Know yourself, know the risk and make the right choice for your own ends.
Me? I'm a little more fool hardy when it comes to trying things, although the most interesting experience was completely necessary. I broke my leg in 4 places sk8 boarding. The Pethadine they gave me was awesome. The pain slowly transformed into a general feeling, like a soft ball, and slowly travelled up my body until it reached my head where it left my ears as a soothing high pitched sound. I'd pay money to experience something like that again - well except for the shattered leg.

"Eutrusca": You were the first one to bring up cigarettes and the thread author did imply that he wanted to have a discussion other than the morality debate. So, your statement is sorta on-topc, but not quite.
"Cannot think of a name": While you are allowed to challenge the positions of other NationStates posters, you need to remember that some ways of going about it are better than other ways. You are bordering on flamebait.

Everything in moderation. Many drugs can be taken with little or no side effects. The person who keeps to themself and smokes marijuana is just as worthy of your respect as any other human being- you are not being harmed by their recreational drug use, and more than likely, neither are they.

I don't want to seem like I'm blowing you off though. I've elaborated on my knowledge in other threads, you could search past posts and compare what I've written to your research. Read some of Timothy Leary's stuff, or a book called "Programming and Meta-Programming in the Human Bio-Computer" by Masters and Houston if you can find it (sadly, I think it's out of print).

most threads about drugs on here are ususally morality debates or question 'have you ever taken them'? for a change im asking 'what is the most profound experience you have had with drugs'? what is the coolest moment, or the worst?
for me, i smoke weed every day and pretty much always enjoy it (though i have been getting high less easily recently), and haven't tried any more 'exotic' drugs (LSD for eg). so my coolest experience was a hallucination of the wall bulging out towards me after smoking loads :)
worst experience was last year in halls of residence, when security came to tell us we were playing guitar too loud (at like 3am, so completely fair) and they saw the sock over the fire alarm... and the weed. thankfully they turned a blind eye (yay UK reclassificaion!!) but that could have been bad
Best moment: Took way too many shrooms at a party once. Now that was awesome! :D
Worst moment: A bunch of us took LSD one night at a smallish party. A few of the others went out for a walk to enjoy the trip while we stayed behind to get drunk and smoke weed. About half an hour later someone was banging on the door. It was one of the people who left earlier. He was so upset he couldn't speak but he got out Jody and Nadine were hit by a truck and are dead. We thougth he was full of shit til we saw ambulances and police cars racing down the highway. I don't remeber much after that but running to just short of where it happened and I saw two lifeless friends smeared across the asphalt. Thakfully Jody did survive despite very severe injuries but Nadine (15) died on the scene. :(

hehehe... i'm so purile :rolleyes:
cheers for all the advice - looks like i have plenty to read :)
one of the main things that convinced me i wanted to take the experience was a program on BBC Radio 4 about LSD, in which i seem to remember they played interviews with Leary. if you fancy a listen, its here...gah its taking ages to upload - ill post the link in a few :)

yeah seriously, thats harsh. i've heard stories like that before - car accidents, drowning, my mate got beaten up pretty bad when he got high and wondered into a chav-infested estate once - and i'm gonna try to be careful in the future.
suppose thats another, practical, reason why its better to 'trip' in the country, near to nature and all that, rather than the city.
THE LOST PLANET: here's that program. i thought it was quite good - about 1/2 an hour long. http://www.hlj.me.uk/lsd.mp3

I don't think any place is 'safer' than another, but I do advocate the old school practice of a 'guide' for your first experiance. This person should know you, your surroundings and the drug (please note, I mention 3 things, refer back to my first response ;) )well and remain straight for the duration.

Oh, for me, it tries to download automatically, but it works now if I try to stream it through WMP.
Thanks for the tip!

accidentally did scag a couple of times - once in some sputnik, which was unnerving but nice. I split one reefer with a mate and went and walked into town, went to the pictures, watched a film (and i have no idea what film it was), came out, walked home, and about an hour later we were saying are you still stoned? me too... weird...
The other time it wasn't that accidental, it was chopped out on a surface in some guy's flat, and i dip-dabbed it without looking too hard, thinking it was speed. contrary to everything i've heard, later that evening i got the biggest, hardest, longest lasting boner of my life.
opium is fun too. Why is it the nicest things that are bad for you?
these days i very occasionally smoke a tiny bit of leaf grass.

Firework display, as viewed from a ditch after copious quantities of weed.
Most beautiful thing i ever saw, and probably ever will.

Worst ever was having smoked three joints and being unabele to move. I was very thirsty and coulndt reach out for the water bottle that was some fourty centimeters away, while a two hour show with horrible techno music was running at the tv from which i couldnt avert my eyes. Argh!
Best was having hot, kinky sex all night long being high on speed and coke.

Most profound experience: taking pure MDMA for the first time. I'd taken pills (E) quite a few times before then, but they are nowhere near as good as the pure stuff. was with a group of 5 other people, 2 of them where amoung my closest friends, 1 was a mate, and the other 2 where people I'd never met before, we all took pure MDMA, and we felt an incredible bond and feeling of love and happiness in each others company, we kept hugging each other, and any worries or fears that sometimes exist between people where completely gone. All six of us that spent that weekend together share a bond to this day, and it brought us all close together!
Worst Experience: went to a party at which I took some pills, and smoked lots of weed. stayed up all night, and left party at 11am. then went straight to the pub, drank all day, went home in the evening, and instead of going straight to bed as I should have done, I decided to do a load of shrooms. It started off OK, but I'd never done that many before, and I ended up getting really paranoid for about 2 hours. I won't be making that mistake again!

Shit, was that a good idea?
I mean, with something where they couldn't tell as much like amphetamines, I could understand, but shrooms?
Damn!
It was amazing. We (my friends and I) timed it right so we'd be sitting down in a boring class when it really started going kooky. It was a risk, yes, but being smart and already accepted to several universities, school is *really* boring. I gotta amuse myself somehow.

Never had a bad experience with drugs (don't know how long that'll last), but my best was this:
Took 'shrooms, can't remember how much, but I was off my head for at least 6 hours. Sitting around listening to some ambient music (cliched, I know, but meh) and watching a mate throw fairy dust around the room and flicking the light switch on and off. For 4 hours. Man, that was good.
