My mum used to do acid years ago when she was younger, and before I started taking it she told me that when she did it she was hallucinating things such as her boyfriend looking like a skeleton, being able to stretch her arm out of the window, and making candle sticks walk across the room… basically seeing things that were not there, and the usual ‘laughing for hours and hours till it hurts, and then laughing about the fact it hurts’ thing.
Whenever I’ve done acid, I’ve never had proper hallucinations like she has described, how many other people have described, and how Drugs education teachers described. When I took my first tab, I expected to be seeing all these weird and wonderful things – pink elephants and all that crap people talk about.
All I ever get with tabs and with liquid drops of acid, is everything looks colourful and patterny – slightly trippy I suppose… perceiving things differently (rather than actually seeing somethings not there)… such as being able to make out proper shapes in the clouds, or being able to make faces in the patterning in trees, or making out shapes of things in the way trees and bushes are arranged, or seeing an object and being able to percieve it in many different ways, things looking slightly tribal, the ‘staring at things, especially your reflection’ thing, alongside the laughter thing… etc etc.
When I told my Mum this she was suprised and said maybe the stuff I’ve had in the past isn’t really that strong. But I dunno, the liquid drops I’ve had physically felt strong – but I’ve never seen anything that wasn’t there like I expected to.
It’s the same with shrooms.
I thought people may have just over exaggerated about their experiences of hallucinating these “pink elephants” when theyve taken shrooms or acid… but then because my Mum has tried it and talks to me about it, obviously I trust her account on her trip.
So yeah, wondered what anyone else though? =/ lol
I love acid, but would have loved it even more with all these crazy things people talk about they’ve seen lol!!
