FLASHBACK: PSYCHEDELIA...

Current Status and Future Trends in Psychedelic (LSD) Research
- Robert E. Mogar

When employed as an adjunct to psychotherapy, most investigators have associated the beneficial effects of LSD with reduced defensiveness, the reliving of early childhood experiences, increased access to unconscious material, and greater emotional expression. In contrast, when used as a primary vehicle for rapid personality change, emphasis is usually placed on the transcendental quality of the experience, the resynthesis of basic values and beliefs, and major changes in the relationship between self and environment.

Da Pagan Baby & I took a few psychedelic trips (LSD, Peyote, Mescaline (Chocolate-Flavored) in the '70s. I don't recommend it or put it down. We were merely curious mellow,,,

It's important to be in a comfortable environment with supportive companions. A Lazy Boy lounger seemed to work best for me. ALWAYS Pink Floyd on the stereo... or BROTHER MILES...

One time we were trippin' on LSD with our close friends Rick and Brenda at Dayton Mountain Days - an annual Appalachian festival held in a large park in East Dayton. I'm sure some o' the straights wondered why we were laughing so much.

At times I was floating overhead peering down on the festivities, the crowd, the bluegrass, and, oddly - meself. (I was a huge balloon-like caricature of myself, all swathed in brilliant pink material - lying in - and hovering above - the green pastures of Eastwood Park. In particular, I still recall focusing on a red-faced fat dude with his hair cut in a severe flattop. I looked at Rick and I could see that he seemed to be struck with the same impression as mine. "Flattop" had his Marlboros rolled up in the sleeve of his white t-shirt - which triggered uncontrollable giggles among the four of us, that seemed to have lasted a 1/2 hour. But who knows?

Our ladies found the experience quite pleasant until they made a trip to a deteriorating wooden outbuilding that housed the women's toilet. Rick and I were somewhat distracted from our reverie by screeches and squeals that sounded like our wives. The clamor seemed to be emanating from the shed which seemed miles in the distance.

As things turned out, we managed to meet them - halfway from the building - and learned that upon entering the stall they had been presented with a massive complex of webs and some of the BIGGEST spiders they had ever seen - well, at least when stoned...

A Caveat: NEVER cross the swinging (rope) bridge at Glen Helen Reserve in Mellow Springs after doing peyote buds...

FURTHER INFO (Important):
The effects of LSD can vary greatly, depending on factors such as previous experiences, state of mind and environment, as well as dose strength. Generally, LSD causes expansion and altered experience of senses, emotions, memories, time, and awareness for 8 to 14 hours. In addition, LSD may produce visual effects such as moving geometric patterns, "trails" behind moving objects, and brilliant colors. LSD does not produce hallucinations in the strict sense but instead illusions and vivid daydream-like fantasies, in which ordinary objects and experiences can take on entirely different appearances or meanings. At higher doses it can cause synaesthesia. The drug experience sometimes spurs long-term or even permanent changes in a user's personality and life perspective.
