A Burnt-Out Case (2006)
- fourthark 7y agoThat was surprisingly spiteful. Maybe Leary deserves a takedown, maybe not. Seems like bad form for a Nation book review though.
- dmix 7y ago> One tab of acid at a late-era Grateful Dead show at Soldier Field, where I hallucinated a giant eagle and got mocked by a nurse for wearing a necklace made of Fimo beads that I’d bought in Oregon; another tab two nights later, followed by eight hours of seeing vampires crawl across a leaky apartment ceiling in Evanston, Illinois Funny, I've took LSD a bunch of times when I was younger and I know quite a few people that have and pretty much everyone agrees this whole hallucinating lively animals and characters stuff only happens in movies, not real life. So I'm suspicious of anyone who claims this. The visual stuff is mostly limited to light trails or textures, surfaces start look shimmering, full of colour, or organic/wet, sometimes melting even (it's a hard thing to explain). That reflects the stuff I've read online from the US government studies too. Never 80s-horror movie 'vampires crawling on ceilings' stuff or Fear & Loathing dinosaurs. Maybe someone else could chime in? I wonder how many people make up these LSD stories to sound cool. Or maybe he really did and simply took way too much for a first timer.
- arpa 7y agoNone of my acquaintainces reported anything like that either. Vampires crawling across the ceiling... i mean, with closed eyes and on an conceptual level, sure, one can hallucinate things like that, but full-blown visuals with no relation to reality sounds like Salvinorin A, not LSD.
