Thoughts about LSD

I think what LSD seemed to do was to strip away the filters that the brain uses to make sense of the stew of inputs that exist both in the environment and neurally. Ordinarly the cartoonish patterns one sees on LSD are there but being ignored because they're static. Noise.  But whe you take the LSD, that "ignore anything not part of X" is turned off and everything comes flying in.  For some, it's too much.  For most it's overwhelming. For some, it's enlightening. I think mostly you need to remember you're tripping, that's important, because you're tripping.  But in there, with your filters down and all inputs on receive, you can access higher energies, spirit levels, deeper parts of yourself. If that's why you're there.   if you just want your sensory inputs turned up to 11, that's all you'll get.  For some, they really aren't able to stand what they see and they really do have a psychotic break, but I would argue that they were due and the sooner the better, as you heal faster when you are young.  Frankly it would be better to only drop acid with an experienced guide. Someone who is spiritual, psychological, wise, kind, confident, and isn't dropping acid with them, although knows perfectly well what they're into.  Someone you can feel ok to say "hey man, is that wall on fire or am I tripping?"  Because it helps to be able to do a reality check whenever you want.
