My brother took LSD and now thinks he's a chicken..We refuse to get him any treatment cos we need the eggs...

matthew santoro really took a turn

You’re completely right about myth 5. When someone says something negative while you’re tripping, it ruins everything. I can feel the negative vibes crawling up the back of my head. Hence why I prefer to trip alone.

I took LSD 5 hours ago and I was watching this and got distracted and was like damn I have hpvd then I realized I was still tripping on acid

I didn’t realize how long it could last on high doses, going to school feeling like a space cadet on a foreign planet was intense

That's why I don't crack my back anymore. God damn acid flashbacks -_-

LSD flashbacks seems like a free trip

Yeah after I trip I just realized how ungrateful I was being with those people who love me like my family especially my mom and know I’m working on it

2 thing's that make this channel 1. Good content 2. Reading the comments(very good/mad or bad stories)

my teacher from Biology told the whole class about the first myth (He said after you take LSD you will have the same trip experience years later ) Teachers in the United states are brainwashed by society so all they teach is a bunch of myth they heard as a kid

I did some lsd in 1971 and turned into an empty beer keg, been trying to fill myself up for 50 years.

I took 7 hits of acid at once. Can i be legally insane now? I want solitary confinement so i can meditate without being interrupted

"I don't wanna die by taking mdma and LSD" by the girl who drinks and pops Zannies daily

“LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.” -Timothy Leary

I've done lsd and then months later, I was at at very small concert at night. The stage was lighting up in colored concert lights and suddenly everything seemed in HD. It only lasted for a few seconds, but there was no mistaking it. Once you've seen that acid HD effect, you don't forget it.

_"I am an orange please do not peel me."_ I remember that shit back in health class but there was no context just some guy rocking back and forth chanting it. I made me want to acid.

True wealth is having money to spend on drugs.

I AM.... A GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE...

I always have lingering visuals. I actually really like it, and it doesn't affect me at all. Between the two strings hanging from my fan, I always see these colorful waves. It's really neat.

I think being bald adds to your credibility

we're all just glasses of orange juice man

"True wealth is having a life full of love" word

Myth 5 is a fact when someone says some negative shit ruins everything and the way you described was perfect man

Adam ruins LSD myths

I was literally about to make a video about debunking psychedelic myths haha. Talk about synchronicity.

The first time I did shrooms, I had a very scary and bad trip. Three months later I returned with LSD, and fought my PTSD with more shrooms. Honestly I’ve never been happier in life

"oh look a little ser-- THATS NOT SEROTONIN." xD

they make you go sane in an insane world.

10/10 drawing skills on that chalk board

The first time I took mushrooms I thought I was a bottle of soap in my kitchen for about an hour before my father found me and took me for a walk. I still know the colour of the soap... Purple. I was alright with being the soap, but when I came down I had quite the story to tell to my friends and now all of you!

Im high and the fact that the ‘center’ of the atom on the right of Adam is actually completely outside the atom altogether really bothers me

My cousin smoked pot and now he's gay. #justsayno #weedkills

I took shrooms once and I'm pretty much generally happier, like i still have down moments but it's all good, I just need a way to get some lsd so I can become the highest power there ever was to exist

I’ve been experiencing HPPD for about two months now (since my last trip) i could go a couple years without tripping and be totally fine with that honestly. I tripped about 7-10 times this year and obviously learned my lesson. I wouldn’t say I’m traumatized but it is sometimes stressful as well as irritating. I also have this weird thing going on where everytime I hear myself talk now- it doesn’t sound like me anymore or I’ll be talking full on and in my head have no idea what’s coming out of my mouth. It’s odd but I’m thankful for all of my trips this year, they helped me become more self aware and confident, I’ve learned a lot and changed my mindset as well. Its helped my mental health SO MUCH 🖤

I still have HHPD from my 5MEO DMT experience 4 years ago. Now whenever I stare at myself in a mirror, my face actually begins to dissolve. It has lessened some, but still can come on anytime I let my vision relax while looking in a mirror. It's a real thing. I also remember as a teen having tracers for at least a month after a trip.

myth number 7, that totally resonates with my line of thinking. LSD shows you the true nature of how our current soicety is built, it can be hard to accept and live in it after a strong trip

Psychedelics are hope for humanity.

my psychology teacher in high school told us several of these things 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've gotten hppd from acid about 2 years ago. I have visual snow, floaters, tracers, after images. Life was hard at first but I've gotten used to it. Although it hadn't gone away, it's gotten better as time has gone by

Have done hundreds of trips on many substances (Lsd,DMT,Meacaline,more) and I have NEVER had a flashback. This was over 12 yrs ago but I did have major depressive episodes. I'm ok now with proper meds lol. I did have pretty bad social anxiety after not being a particularly anxious person growing up, like I always felt like everyone in public was staring at the back of my head. That's gone now, and I wouldnt give a fk if they were. Hardest visuals ever was Mescaline with Mushrooms and Molly, saw shit that WAS NOT there. Like beings, trees growing all over each side of Red Rocks ampitheatre, ETC. Been clean for 12 yrs now and not gonna lie, I wouldn't trade all those trips in. Was amazing and the places it takes you is like NOTHING else in this world. GRANTED, of course I had bad trips and though I was going to die a few times but that comes with it, it's not all rainbows and puppies! Anyone who tells you that is lying, psychedelics are hands down THE MOST INTENSE thing you can ever put your mind through! It does definitely give you a new outlook on life. DMT will give you visions you did not know existed. Not promoting it, just sharing. Be safe kiddos!

As someone who is a glass of orange juice I find this very offensive that people use my situation as a scare tactic like that why can’t people just except that I’m happy as I am it’s honestly very pleasant

i feel like we are all living in a bad trip

10:00 is so true. First acid trip i blacked out (was on 200mg) when i was about or at peak. I remember just pushing myself against the couch screaming for my room mates friend to stop and be quiet. It took 20 mins for me to calm down. Found out when i was sober he was talking about how animals are killed. Something that small set me off. Acid is very powerful

15:55 "we live in a society"

Could you please make a video about 5-MeO DMT?

Thanks to all of the patrons that allow this dude to keep making videos, informing us about all different kinds of stuff like this. Real talk: This guy has legitimately saved my life, in a way. If not for him, I would have ingested a lot of dangerous substances and damaged my body, just out of pure curiosity. Thumbs up to this dude.

I've suffered from HPPD for roughly a decade and occasionally still do at random times. I living in Japan at the start of 2000. I was pleasantly shocked upon arrival that several hallucinogenic substances were legal and available in head shops and street vendors. Well I loved psychedelic mushrooms and found myself using medium to large(3g to 5g)doses roughly 4 times a week for about 2 years time total. While it was quite a journey after returning state side I was completely burned out on mushroom trips and quit(they had lost all their pleasure). I was really freaked out in this beginning phase of shroom sobriety. I was seeing tracers, breathing walls, fluid floors, and moving patterns. I was convinced that I fried my brain and this was gonna last forever. Fortunately these lingering effects were subtle and didn't prevent me from living my life. I didn't discover that what I had was a known condition with a fancy name for almost 10 years and the symptoms had improved a lot. During that time I picked up a nasty H habit and while high the HPPD would pop up and I would get some pretty awesome audio hallucinations. These days I'm living sober but still on occasion have HPPD symptoms.

I have HPPD. It's due to VERY heavy LSD use in the late 80's and early 90's. There was a point in time I was dropping 3 times a week for 6 months. A month after letting my mind rest I was still seeing the pictures crawl around on the wall, and tracers behind people when they walked by in front of me. Today I can wave my hand in front of my face and I can see heavy tracers. They never really went away. 😎

Ethan from H3H3 supports you? Thats awesome :D

omg i have this dude in my class who says if u smoke weed u have a chance that you can bleed out of your ears! wtf? also he thinks alcohol isn't a drug so yeah

My last tango with psychedelics was 2011. I stopped due to overwhelming HPPD. I still have HPPD 8 years later and I haven't touched pot or psychoactives since May 2011. I do however live with a deeper and move meaningful relationship to existence, myself, and all that I communicate with. Psychedelics were incredibly positive, they have changed me forever, the paradigm shifts are not erasable. It took me at least 5 years to accept the HPPD, I fully expect to have it for life as it is as intense as it was 8 years ago, but it's okay, it's absolutely okay. The benefits are worth it.

HPPD 1 year already, intensive ptsd few times in a month. mushrooms. hard live with it

I used to trip on dxm a lot and I've had tracers ever since. It's been about 12 years since my last blast off, but they're still there. I don't mind them, I hardly notice them most of the time, but when I do notice them it just brings back a flood of good memories from that period of my life. Just an anecdote. Not sure why I'm even sharing it, but I am. :)

The stuck in a trip forever myth is huge for me because everytime I have a "bad trip" I end up seeing my friends faces telling me I need to get out of this trip now or I'm going to get stuck and they arent even actually in the room with me its all in my head lol. It happens anytime I do higher doses but lower doses seem kinda boring to me so its always a struggle for me even tho i know its a myth it still convinces me sometimes that it can really happen.

Been loving these videos. Subscribed. :) Tripped for 3rd time ever on shrooms the other day, after months and months of endless toil, living on autopilot, PTSD, worsening mental health. The shrooms pulled all of that to a screeching halt, allowed me to cry and mend in the deepest way possible. I remembered who I was again and felt a newfound joy/love for myself, life and everyone around me. Psychedelics are true blessings.

I love you man the path youre taking on educating the people against it is outstanding I love what you said about moving forward and eliminating the stigma I truely believe people should have to trip every 1-2 years as a way of peeling away society's anxiety and helping shape their consciousness.

You drew a carbon atom with 5 covalent bonds. Carbon atoms have 4 covalent bonds.

One time me and 2 of my friends were on 2 tabs, 4 g of mushrooms and 110 mg of M and out of now where I started talking about traumas that I didn't even know were traumas. Stuff that had resentments and anger and depression built into my experiences and memory that had rooted themselves in my consciousness. My two friends helped me through it and I was able to find peace and closure. In the moment I felt so bad because i felt like was just vomiting my poision all over my 2 friends and didn't want to ruin their trip. They showed me love and opened up with me and helped me to navigate through what was going on. if I had been with anyone else I think it may have ended badly. These things are truly a medicine.

watching this again because a few nights ago i was looking in the mirror and all of a sudden my face morphed, everything i could see in the mirror suddenly became sinister - it looked like an acid trip. as soon as i looked away i was fine but it was really scary. also since my last trip anytime i smoke weed i just feel off. doesn’t happen often enough to make me think its anything bad but idk.. i can’t help but feel like something is reaching out to me

Hahaaaaa, i honestly was just wishing that you had uploaded a new video, went to check, and here i am.. 2 minutes after the upload :-)

"I should not have microdosed this morning"

You speak so much sense. It's often hard to comprehend a trip and it more often than not, leaves you confused. It's so good to hear it from another who can put perspective on things! You DO cause harm reduction. You are doing so well at explaining things. Keep it up Adam x

15:42 People taking LSD and eating stomachs? What a load of tripe. I'll show myself out.

regarding HPPD, i think a large number of HPPD casses isnt actually lingering psychedelic visuals but just makes users more aware of visual disturbances that are always there. for example i have always got tracers long before i ever took any substance with a light if moving it fast enough. same thing with visual static especially when looking at something like a white wall. Looks like your looking at a TV close up if you look carefully.

Some bad shit went down while I was tripping on LSD and I was still cracking jokes and being happy lol

This is the version of the orange juice story that I heard: A man tried to smuggle $1000 or something of LSD into a nightclub and stuck it to his arms and legs so he didn't have to carry it in his bag. It was hot so he started sweating and the LSD went into his pores while he was sweating. The LSD quickly got into his bloodstream and to this day he thinks he's a lamp.

this really calmed me down i’ve been having mental problems due to psychedelics and some of the things i was fearing was debunked by you, thank you

Adam: I’m experienced with psychedelics The Manson family: hold my beer

I'm just going to quote Mark Manson for his insightfull comment on LSD. "The biggest misconception about LSD is that you hallucinate actual things: dinosaurs in cars, cherry trees in the living room. You don’t. LSD is all about perception and perspective. You don’t necessarily see large things that are not there. You see what’s always been there in a multitude of new ways. Patterns emerge in everything. Your mind emphasizes what it used to ignore. Reality becomes amplified to a staggering degree."

"If the doors of perception were cleaned, then everything would appear to man as it truly is: infinite." ~William Blake

Ya I have "acid flashbacks" from an extremely bad trip. I get scared a lot. Ill be ok though. I think im ok

The last one almost had me almost down to tears because it was so beautiful the way he had explained how psychedelics make you receive society and how it makes you more loving and caring that was truly amazing

after my first time taking acid, i got a couple flashbacks where it really felt like i was tripping again, for a few months afterwards. Like i didnt see ang visuals but my headspace felt like i was tripping for a few minutes because id see something that would remind me of my trip. Since taking it a second time tho i havent had any more of these "flashbacks"

I don't know how often you read comments or what is the best way to actually contact you, but I just wanted to say thank you Adam. I've been watching you for years and I appreciate your wisdom and experience and pragmatism in regards to psychedelics. I've had a couple of trips in my life and I really want to do more, but I'm definitely a bit afraid. My last acid experience (which was also my first) really spooked me. I didn't follow the rules and I really paid for it. I always struggle with set and setting because I so rarely get to have enough time to actually take a substance and planning a trip makes it hard to know if I'll be in a good headspace for it. And I'm always under so much stress that even my baseline is not ideal. Part of me always wants to trip for the express purpose of dealing with whatever is really weighing on me, but I know it's so unpredictable that that can be hard, and even dangerous to do that. I guess what I'm trying to say in so many words is, how do I trip when life gets in the way so much? What intentions should I set when I trip? Thanks for reading my ramble if you did, I appreciate you and all that you do.

13:20 the most genuine thing i have heard you touched my heart and literally made me cry. Ps im not trapping right now.❤️❤️

So true, about that one "negative word" that sends you on a bad trip. Love the vids keep em comin!

Lol imagine taking an orange and thinking you were acid

As a chemistry student I'm triggered by the carbon atom having 5 bonds in the background😂😂

I'm glad I had parents that were cool and talked to me about things like this when I was a kid. More parents need to talk with their kids about "drugs" in a realistic manner, leaving out the scare tactics.

pls make video on ketamine

First trip: Felt like I was switching realities and I saw myself as different entities but the same person and it was so alien and mindfucking

Thank you! I once had an experience chewing Salvia Divinorum where I felt intense love from an entity. There was nothing malicious about them or their intentions. They just lived others, no strings attached. I knew in my head before that that kind of love exists, and I have people in my life who do live me unconditionally, it just changed my view on life to actually feel it. I also got the impression of a society where everyone had that live for each other, and basically went into grief once I realized that I do not live there, and probably never will in my lifetime. I think I cried almost uncontrollably after that experience. Or at least one of my salvia experiences. Also note that this wasn’t enough salvia to make me fully trip. I have never experienced going to another world on it, and that is probably good from the horror stories I have heard. Anyway I was still fully aware of my bedroom, and didn’t even see much warping around me. It was subtle. I didn’t see the entity I just felt them. But I felt them in a way that they seemed real. Same thing with the village. I just felt it. I had another salvia experience at a different time (same deal, just chewing it) where I looked at myself in the mirror. It was sort of an accident as I was just going to the bathroom, but it felt like I was an alien even though I knew I was looking at me in the mirror. Sorry for the long story. I just want to say in response to the last myth you talked about that my own worldview changed. I already knew society was messed up, but now I know it is worse than I thought, because a better thing exists. As a side note, do you know anything about Wild Dagga? I used it while I was in a bad place mentally as a sort of desperate way to try to medicate myself, and ended up calming down enough to realize that I had been in a constant state of anxiety for years. The first few days I took a new dose every time the last one wore off to keep the feeling, but knew that wasn’t good, so I tapered off over the following weeks. I now take it occasionally and log when I take it. During the few weeks I also started Akuamma seed extract, which had the unexpected effect of messing with my ability to dissociate. I could still daydream normally and probably wouldn’t have noticed it if I didn’t have problems with dissociation. At first it was scary because I was I dissociated to escape from chronic pain and didn’t know how to cope with reality, but I took it at least a few more times over that week sometimes at the same time as the wild Dagga and had some interesting experiences. It was probably not safe because at one point I think I saw lights. I also heard a voice in my head another time. I think blue lotus flower was also mixed in there at some point (I found out if I took too much of the flower I would feel cold. Like almost unbearably (I was taking pretty high doses of all of these I think)). Anyway during this few weeks I started down a KZfaq rabbit hole of researching our government and actually taking the idea of corruption more seriously. I am not sure why or how I even started in the first place as normally I find politics boring. Those weeks were a blur. Anyway I am still struggling but between my interesting experiences with the wild Dagga and other couple herbs plus my later experiences with salvia divinorum I am doing significantly better. I just wanted to share and get your opinion. And I am not recommending anyone do what I did! It was probably not safe! He he. This was long.

9:30 Actually my friend, the CIA LSD trials showed people became less suggest able vs not being on LSD. The participants shows signs of hightened self awarness that shielded them from intentional programming. Which was part of the reason why the program was cancelled.

My science teacher once told me acid leaves holes in you're brain.

I was thankful to see your first point being the spinal fluid one, i went to wilderness therapy (which is basically if rehab was a boot camp, pretty shit to say the least) but yeah one of the staff members tried to tell me that, and then i explained exactly why it was bullshit in front of everyone and since then the staff never tried bullshitting me with anything of the sort, at that place, they will tell you anything, and most people just believed it, they didnt like me there because i had more of an idea of what i was talking about than they did, and this wasnt even complicated stuff, im not trying to say im really smart, just that most of the people there were close minded, but then again its a predominantly mormon organisation that takes the psychological standpoint of 'you gotta go through some pain and turmoil to grow as a person' which in some respects has its applications but for someone that has trouble with drugs or family problems, i think its best to have a more compassionate form of care, i wasnt even there for drugs, i was just being a lazy fucker at that point in my life, but the staff tried to turn it into a thing about drugs, my dad and i do that shit together, thats when i realized the company is full of shit, they try to make it seem like everything is personalised for you ( which is what youd want from psychotherapy and rehabilitation, but it seemed to be the same thing for everyone, i doubt its ever helped anyone that isnt a sheep, it just tries to turn people into normal people, not interesting ones

smoking cannabis lately has made me feel like im tripping sometimes. Been tripping twice or so a month for a year now xD i need to slow down...lol

Thanks For All The Great Videos You Put Out There . We Been Enjoying Waking Up To Your Videos This Past Few Weeks.

You have a 5 bonded carbon next to your ear, "Carbon dosen't like 5 bonds"

Nice one Adam! Keep up the great work mate!

This was a great video dude! You consistently do great work, and you do a lot of people a lot of good. Thanks for everything man, I respect the hell out of you.

I thought I was gonna get stuck in a trip one time I remember having nitrous while tripping and I went out of my body and I was stuck in a endless loop of my friends saying the same thing over and over I remember when I first entered it it was as if someone else was stuck in it before me and they pulled me in to get themselves out and I was meant to do the same thing. It was a super hectic experience and has me a bit confused still but I’m glad it happen because it’s made me wanna change and finally start socialising better and wanna be me and just not be afraid to be me .

I just dropped acid

I was in high school in the late 90s pre internet era and the story about the orange juice guy was prevalent then, in every drug circle I came in contact with. Crazy how that story spread nationwide with no internet

This has really helped me, ive definitely experenced ptsd episodes which i thought were lsd flashbacks. It makes a lot of sense , i do still experience the visuals and its been over 2 years since i have last taken lsd. It does not affect my day to day life but it lifts the anxiety that im not crazy and people do experience this. I do think there needs more research .

Really glad I stumbled onto your channel. Keep up the awesome work man!

Actually, after dropping LSD a few times I can say that I do experience flashbacks occasionally, usually only when I'm driving, but I'll start to see a ring of flashing lights and waving circles of electricity around my center of vision, and I'll get a sort of uncomfortable feeling in my body, similar to an acid body high, as well as becoming a lot more sensitive to light. They were much more intense in the past when only a short time has passed after my trips, and they used to last much longer, but now over time it has calmed down to a point where it will only last a few, uncomfortable minutes.

The flash backs one gets me. Their have been moments when everyday things appear large in perspective or appear novel/strange. Not necessarily hallucination but similiar to the tripping state. Not harmful either, non intrusive, just occasional things of that nature. Perhaps just a new perspective after a dose?

HPPD is real. I've had a 2 mild trips in a span of 1 month, first, I believe, was 2CB and second was 25C-NBOMe. Both trips were good, yet nowhere near enlightening. But since then I have persistent tracers after relatively fast moving objects, like flying birds or my hands, sometimes one bird can have several "shadow copies". Thing is... I like it and I don't want to try fixing this - I'm keeping this as a memento of some good conclusions I've got on those trips. Doesn't affect me in any way except for a light smile on my face for a second I see a small cluster of birds turning to be a single bird.

Ive done LSD more than a few times and shrooms and DMT, actually Ive done them all a lot and I can say I've only had one flashback in my life it only lasted a minute or less and happened while I was sleeping and it woke me up and I was tripping balls it wasn't a scary experience but it was weird. Side note it hasn't stopped me from doing psychedelics.
