Back in 1979 I took a tab of LSD

[Itchinjim]

and watched "Apocalypse Now" on the big screen. I was twenty years old and it changed my life. For the better, believe it or not.

1. I believe you.

My LSD days/nights stopped somewhere around '74.

[Lochloosa]

4. Not me 56 and still indulging.

[Itchinjim]

7. My last was in 1989 at a Dead show at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicagoland.

Underneath the incoming flights of 747s at O'Hare. It didn't change my life, but I certainly enjoyed it.

[Lochloosa]

9. No better place than a dead show. My last show was in. 95 in Birmingham AL.

[cyberswede]

11. I was there!

[Itchinjim]

13. I thought that was you!

[Bucky]

6. Last hit was in 1983. I ended up in a mind loop for 3 hours. It was hell.

Now mushrooms I still might be game for...

[Lochloosa]

10. Shrooms are my favorite. Nothing like it.

[In_The_Wind]

14. Add a little of this to take the edge off.

My best acid trip ever was a combination.

2. Great movie.

[OriginalGeek]

3. Acid has always been the best bang per buck

For me it was early 80s and The Wall.


Good times indeed.

5. I firmly believe my LSD use helped me to develop empathy

May not be for everyone but I think it improved me.

[Itchinjim]

8. Acid gave me an awareness.

I cant put my finger on it but I felt aware of a connection between all beings

[RobinA]

23. I Became Aware

Of how much we take sanity for granted.

[cyberswede]

12. I made the mistake of watching Eraserhead on acid.

Once.

[ailsagirl]

15. Is that a custom smiley?? I like it

That must have been quite a trip. Just the name of the film says it all!!

Wham

[orleans]

16. omg! what an ordeal to put yourself through! that movie is absolute hell! n/t

[angstlessk]

17. When I took LSD we went to a friends house

cause our neighbor appeared to be the devil.

we were looking for friends who were not high...to guide us.

their cat got caught between the outdoor screen and the door...

Being on LSD..it appeared the cat knocked on the door to be let in...

We had to leave...

[Enthusiast]

18. LOL

"We had to leave..."

[angstlessk]

20. Walking back to our house...the street lights were

beautiful...the world itself was a purple haze...which was the name of our lsd

[orleans]

24. sounds like good old days. n/t

[Enthusiast]

19. Kicked and recommended! Itchinjim, can you tell us how it changed your life?

I would be interested to hear it. I feel that LSD changed my life for the positive too.

[hobbit709]

21. by '79 I had done acid at least a 1000 times.

I started in 1966 while it was still legal. Changed my life? Most likely but then I saw through the absurdity of the system early.

[Aristus]

22. I've never done acid.

But if I ever do, I'll watch "Apocalypse Now" during the trip.

And if the trip lasts long enough, I'll follow with "Dark City".
