  • night terrors = bad trips

  • Why does everyone always focus on the negative aspects of acid?

  • what the fuck does national geographic know about tripping

  • Do it. Psychedelics are the only drugs worth it.

  • 4:11 that shit is so funny to me

  • No such thing as a bad trip man. Nothing in life is to be feared, only understood. Might be a frightening experience, but it's also a learning experience as well. Spiritual reflection. Glad to see most are not swayed by this bull shit video.

  • I've never seen anything like that on the acid I've had

  • Quite fond of weed myself. But I'd like to pop so low grade LSD sometime.

  • things that don't exist? Why do they not prove it?

  • Fear mongers

  • It's called Moderation people.

  • thats why the safest place to trip is out in the wilderness....with nature...nice and peaceful :)

  • some of this is extremely scripted people

  • Sure, I've had a bad trip, and yes, they do suck(my fault for tripping in a bad set and setting)... but hey, not all trips can be the perfect enlightenment and bliss that I've experienced every single other time. Set and setting make all the difference.

  • LSD is amazing.

  • The only reason people have bad trips is because they are worried before they take it you have to free your mind.

  • the fuck kind of lsd are these people taking

  • do make to much of it. its just a drug and a lie. its no journey. your own imagination causes what you think about or think you see. nothing more.

  • @joshstockinger Your reality is a lie, wake up.

  • @Zanins how very profound. NOT. lol epic fail. im just saying its a drug. ive done it, and enjoyed it. but its no mind expansion. its just a drug

  • @joshstockinger you've probably never ego deathed before

  • @Zanins wow, you know how a little about how drugs work. wtf is your point? and regardless if ive "ego deathed" before, it would not dispute my previous statements. so gtfo with your assumptions or bring some intelligent argument with a point.

  • @joshstockinger no point in arguing with ignorance

  • @joshstockinger lol sounds like some fake doses to me

  • moral of the story, do drugs with your best friends.

  • This video is stupid. People need to eat some L before the try to describe what it does to you!

  • this bitch just took way too much this isnt a good example at all, these people dont kno shit. using lsd responsibly can be one of the greatest things on this planet.....and id sure like to find the dealer thats going to put a huge ammount of acid on one hit that will make me feel like im dying because frankly thats not true at all and doesnt happen ever

  • The tripping guy in the cap is about to burst out laughing because LSD IS AWESOME!! haha. Chemical Russian Roulette? The worst thing that could happen with taking a dose is it not being strong enough! They showed the 'trip to hell' brain map, where is the 'super awesome trip through the fluffy clouds into heaven' brain map?

  • Though some of the information in this video are accurate, it is spun in a way to demonize the drug. Propaganda

  • hahhahahahahaahahhaahah chemical Russian roulette?!?!?!?! wtf is this guy insane?? oh wait

  • i have never had a bad trip and i've had no sense of reality of time or myself. probably because i'm smart and i stay with people who i care about and im in an environment that's safe to trip at

  • @PsychedeliclyEnhancd for real not at a psychedelic party in a bad neighborhood ha ha sounds nice!

  • This dude is trippin balls, and probably gettin paid PHAT too, haha.

  • Guys, please do not get your info from this. Chemical russian roulette? There Is ZERO point to 'adulterating' LSD. The dose that you take is so tiny, and the amount of chemicals that will cause LSD to break down so large, that there is no roulette. A coin toss maybe. I got LSD, or I got blank paper. That's about the extent of the options. Sure, there are other drugs that could be on the paper, but extremely few would be active at these doses. And those could not be confused with LSD.

  • 'Chemical Russian Roulette' -- you have got to be friggin' kidding me!

  • haha this is sooo negative! lame

  • this is stupid

  • @tomass9d9 action creates reality. not perception

    

  • wow that is the biggest load of bullshit i have ever heard. Lsd as well as other psychadellics have opened my mind to new and incredible things that i would have never thought of or seen before. i have never had a bad trip, its all about how mentally prepared you are....and how much you injest you dumb bitch!

  • She almost explained my bad trip perfectly.

  • Loose my mind after one trip??? What a bunch of Gov. controlled media propeganda bullshit. If thier so fucking concerned then why do they go thru great lengths to shut down save chemists? It's awesome. I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything. Best times of my life. If are ready for a good trip, you will have a great experience. Tho it's funny. My daughter in college wants to try it. And I just cant bring myself to say "go for it", tho I'd say it to anyone else. I think she needs to too.

  • Perception is everything. Perception creates reality. Who are you to tell me where the line falls?

  • wow wish i was that guy! XD

  • damn i must be pretty good at roulette. i should go to the casino this weekend...

  • @kmkstyblzd420 Yeah bro, most definitely.

  • at least the people who fall for this bullshit are the same idiots who believed the whole "abstinence is the only safe route" thing, and will be far less likely to pop out more units of incredible underthought.

  • And also not true they have psychedelics parties all the time. What do you think goes on at music festivals

  • Wrong wrong wrong. I've never had a bad trip. True you only trip with people you're comfortable with bc it shows you truth and and a third person point of view.

  • im pretty sure the psychedelic parties were only in the 60s and they were called acid tests

  • that poor fucking guy. i feel bad for him that would suck balls.

  • @jonjonamazing he probably thought he was in the lab for an eternity

  • sweet fuckin video to watch while you're frying

  • "What does a trip to hell look like inside the mind?" Looks like a damn good time to me! Who fears detatchment from reality? I find it exhilerating.

  • youre making them trip balls in a lab? no wonder you think lsd is a bad thing.

  • EDIT : the only legitimate psychedlic party that exists is a rave.

  • @Psilocyman  raves are gay

  • This is the only message anyone watching this video should take away: Don't take a psychedelic drug in the presence of 200 people. Theres no such thing as a psychedelic party and if people in the world attempt to have such "parties" then they are ignorant in almost every aspect of taking these drugs. Take hallucinogens in the presence of someone u trust, in a place u feel safe, and only when u trust yourself. Its true these drugs can be transcending or terrifying. Be smart.

  • @Psilocyman Like my BGF Maggs tried acid with Babsy and Pambalam. They peed in a cup and drank it. She said the taste was awesome.

  • Hey announcer guy... did you ever to any psychadelics? thought so.

  • This is not at all representative of the psychedelic experience. Not at all. An analogy... this video is like a manual on sex, written by a virgin.

  • fuck the government first off... and fuck you national geographic because all the "inside a trippers mind" and your images that you make it out to be is nothing like what an experienced tripper has had. this is all bullshit propaganda the gov lies so we dont know the truth yal go find out for yourself.. if you dont like lsd... i bet theres 20 other people who will give u a 100 bucks if u actually admit to not liking the trip or what you got out of it. fuck the gov

  • what the fuck. how dare someone who's never had the psychedelic experience try to tell the world what it's like. anyone who's done it should be able to tell you it's indescribable...

  • ok so thats the worst possible situation...how about now they tell us the best possible one please?

  • That girl was just some dumb bitch who was too embarrassed to even show her face because she knows damn well that she sold her soul for some money... Sounds like she took some ecstasy or some shit.... WOW!!! I refuse to believe that I just saw propaganda like that... unreal.

  • That girl was just some dumb bitch who was too embarrassed to even show her face... Sounds like she took some ecstasy or some shit.... WOW!!!  I refuse to believe that I just saw propaganda like that... unreal.

  • Like how this pretends to be unbiased for the 1st minute then turns to a "hellish trip" for the rest of the episode. What an in-depth look, for some anti-lsd group.

  • so.... moral of the story is..... DO IT. since the science is this didnt exactly prove much n just dont do too much n be a ruhtard like alice by doing it in a loud strange place Because you might freak out. It should be used as a introspective sacrament, not a 'mood changer' n like ALL psychedelics, they require respect upon taking them or they will take u on a ride u wont want to be on.

  • That bitch calls herself an experienced tripper?

    "Uh, ya, I took too much LSD at a party with like 200 people..."

    If Alice there knew the first thing about acid, she would know not to do it at some weird party with a bunch of strangers! Doesn't she know what "set and setting" means?

  • @SirTensis word up brother

  • LSD reveals the truth about life.

  • @Ryufii LSD reveals the truth about death...

  • so this son of a bitch can get filmed doing lsd and its perfectly legal because he is educated, and if i do it im a criminal and should go to prison? FUCK THE GOVERNMENT

  • @rustywattier187 right there with you bro!! i was thinking the same thing.

  • @rustywattier187 Did u see the guy's trollface as he has the crap pluged into his brain?

  • pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0p0ganda pr0paganda*

  • Fuck this video..shit like this is what gives lucy a bad name..people who are naturally paranoid have no buisiness using lsd. All I know is that lsd made me aware of who I really am and the connection all living things on this earth posses.

  • what a bunch of shit... im sorry but having an out of body experiance is great. IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOIN ON.

    if you have knowledge of good and evil and god and whats goin on then you can control ur trip to be always good. theres a lot to it... do some research.

    anyways UPLOADER. ur an asshole for polluting peoples brains with this BULLS SHIT THAT WAS AIR ON TV!!!!!!!!!!

    stop listening to your tv... the media is controlled. INVESTIGATE. THE CONSPIRACY IS REAL!!!

    take care and God bless you all

  • @is300ss Dude your awesome..ur like me kinda I also believe in the NWO..why dont we all start getting this word out people need to know.

  • @MrScott1023 for sure man. we are not a lone. many people know, but not enough. all we can do is try and learn as much about the situation as we can and inform our friends and family. i know some people woh learn all about it and then say "oh well... we are screwed. what can i possibly do about it. they have to much power."

    one of my closest friends thinks like that. very frustrating. they seem to think no matter how many ppl they tell it will never be enough.

    not cool... gotta do something

  • bias much?

  • I mean... "Chemical Russian Roulette?!" Puh-LEEZ! They failed to mention that it takes something around 30K-40K hits to overdose and no such reports have been filed. So if the proverbial revolver had a million empty slots in the cylinder and a single rubber bullet... then yes Russian Roulette

  • This is painful. The attempts at brainwashing with their constant barrage of negatively charged information is so superficial and transparent. Especially from 2:12 to the end.

  • from personal experience LSD has changed my entire perspective of life and made me see the things that we humans are so utterly blind to. im not justifying its use and actually dont recommend it to anyone. but of course if youre willing to take that step, just know youre about to find out more about reality than you can handle...

  • Geez.... taking this stuff recreationaly at a party sounds like a recipe for major disaster. 

  • @VIDEODROME13 runescape nerd

  • Dear God...our perception IS our imagination.

  • Look at him! He's obviously happy. Let people do what they want.

  • moar

  • you guys are all bs, lol

    lsd= a drug created to experiment... therefore its not takin lightly.

    watever trip your on, is like resorting to retardation.

    dont try and relate, compete, act like ya know what you talkin bout

    when the truth is you only are limited to its dam knowledge.

    suck meh toe

  • Anybody else agree that when your on acid youll look at something quickly but you will keep thinking of the image for a long time? Like a car will drive by and you will see exact detail of the face and everyone? haha thumbs up if you agree.

  • Oh look another anti-drug advert. Looks like the feds failed to get the message across a million times before and are now trying to filter their fearmongering under the facade of "science." Predictable.

    But news flash: no one believes you anymore.

  • those pupils should be fucking blown ... lame imagery

  • Comment removed

  • i remember 30 minutes before my lsd trip evan started i got poked by a pin, and it a hurt just a lil bit, but at least a 2 hours in the trip i got very very very paranoid and was keeping all my thoughts, comments, and hallucinations to myself, and that can not always be a good idea, but then i started think that when i got poked by the needle, i started thinking it was a syringe full of more lsd, so i start yelling at my friend and i was about to kill him evan, worst trip i ever had

  • I can say that from first hand experience that the way the described a bad trip at a rave is very accurate. I have made the mistake of eattin way to much acid at a rave before and had a shattered ego experience. I have only had a couple experiences with the FEAR but had so many more postitive experiences then negative. I just reccomend eating it in the safety of a house or in nature instead of concerts. There are too many unpredictable factors when you use psychdelics in not a safe setting.

  • @atldead420 you learn a lot more from the bad trips than you do from the good ones

  • that music is horrifying

  • Did I say one-sided? I meant pulled out from under their ass

  • Gotta love one-sided propaganda

  • this is bullshit. i doubt that the people who created the show have ever tripped.

  • funny thing is if they made drugs legal regulated companies would be able to moderate dosages thus eliminating the danger in drugs such as lacing them , o and also theres ur easy way to solving drug crimes idiots

  • as long as you remind urself u took a drug, everythings smooth sailin :) i took shrooms once and forgot... oh man that was bad.

  • Propaganda

  • blotter paper only absorbs a certain amount of lsd so it's not like some dastardly drug dealer can give you one hit that's actually a hundred and anyone who takes acid knows you should NEVER go to a party on it. it's not like weed or alcohol where you take it and can do whatever you have to have a good setting and be around good people you trust. and if you do take acid you WILL have a bad trip at some point but the good levels out the bad

  • @partieboi37 i agree completely. The only drug you can take and go to a big party is ex, but definitely not LCD

  • @spidajak11 dude, what the fuck is LCD? Is that something new? I've heard of LSG, LSA and LSD...DMT, DEx...maybe your thinking about TV's? I'm high, nice to meet ya, hahaha. Get me some LCD please!

  • "little film inside the tripper's head" what is this stuff?? these people have not the slightest clue what goes no while no lsd, it's not just some drug that intoxicates you with pretty pictures, it's a journey a new place, a new space within the space you are already inhabiting. it's pushing your head through into the great psychedelic unknown never having a faintest idea what will happen in there but you always return with new spiritual experiences, and the changes lsd makes are always healthy

  • @Danman429 The changes LSD makes are NOT always healthy as much fun spiritual and enlightening as it can be it is still a drug. I had tripped probably over a hundred times very hard on good lsd had aalways had a good spiritual enlightening epxerienc but one night for what ever reason I had a horrible trip, went to hell and back. This trip changed me, I was paranoid even when sober for two years and every one was out to get me, After they the trip always went bad. Changes are not ALWAYS healthy

  • @Changin2010 You learn a lot more from the bad trips than you do from the good ones. You became paranoid after that for a reason, chances are you got over your paranoia but you never got over the reason you were paranoid. I became paranoid after doing lsd once, my paranoia was gone within a couple months cuz I figured it out. I guess that's what LSD has taught me, that you can transcend almost any problem. But I guess you're right, it's not healthy to everyone, not everyone can handle it

  • @Danman429 I was about to thumbs up your comment until you said "the changes LSD makes are always healthy" That is a very ignorant thing to say. My spiritual experience on LSD was amazing, but I suffered from severe, debilitating panic attacks for months after wards that took control of my life and made me miserable. LSD may be physically harmless, but it can change your psychological make up in unhealthy ways. The fact is that no one really knows how LSD works. It is different for everyone.

  • @pinkfloyd4241 yes, very true, I mispoke. the changes LSD makes are NOT always healthy. I suffered the same until I figured it out, the thing is that you gotta figure it out, you gotta figure it all out and if you don't, you're gonna suffer

  • @pinkfloyd4241 Depends on your intent, set and setting, ect. If taken properly LSD can almost always be positive. All the negative shit is in the mind and once you are able to truly realize that you can handle almost anything on acid (though I do not recommend taking it in broad daylight public or with people you do not trust, kinda ruins the trip).

  • @Danman429 Its deterioration of your conscious briefly...What is consciousness?

  • @Danman429 got a question for you guys since every1 here seems to know so much about acid..i wana know the side affects from acid. i know acid doesnt hurt u in the short - term, but in the long term i heard is when it deals its damage. not sure if thats entirely true but i just wanna gain some info on this before i even consider trying it. pm me or just reply, any info will help.

  • @ballerness86 Do your own research

  • actually, the things you see on lsd do exist.

  • @Danman429 hahahahahaha, your crazy man, I like you, but you crrrrraaaaaaazzzzzzzyyyyyyy.

  • I'm largely against drug prohibition, but more for the reason that you don't really know what you are getting when you buy on the street, or even from a dealer you trust, because chances are they don't really know either. Without regulation, there is no user safety, and you're risking your health. I did hallucinogens when I was younger, and I got lucky for the most part. But I know people who had really bad experiences they regret. Now I believe the risk vs. reward is not really worth it.

  • mk ultra all over again. leave it to the germans, lol

  • as jim morrison said,"i never had a bad trip on acid Ray"

  • attachment to your body is the best feeling ever, freeing yourself for the ego and attachment, finding the truth within yourself.. the fact that you can be aware of that is what they're afraid of. i love feeling eternal, freee of time and space... lsd is beautiful and so spiritually awakening if you do it the right way. the gov obvs would rather get us drunk and clog our mind then have us expand it becasue they're afraid we're all going to find the truth they try so hard to hide from us

  • This is fucking bullshit. You can't say what people are seeing by brain scans, they have no PROOF that what you see and feel is 100% not real. As for Alice's story, she clearly says "I ingested way too much LSD, I feel like, I was eating it, and some of my girl friends were putting it in our drinks" WELL DUH, IF YOU TAKE TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING IT CAN HAVE BAD RESULTS! Too much water can kill you. Used in proper doses and as an entheogen it is impossible to have a bad trip.

  • stuff like this typically is very biased

  • obviously if your strapped to a fucking machine while youre tripping youre gonna get bad vibes. That'd be traumatizing.

  • damn walls closin in on me... no, stop, no, NO!!!

    whew, ok, they're leaving...

    OH SHIT THEY COMIN' BACK!

    oh they're goin', they're gone, they a-- AW SHIT IMA FREAKIN OUT, MAN!

  • it's all about set and setting. I'd imagine ssris (anti depressants) are far worse for your brain chemistry than LSD, and millions of people take those daily. Looking at adverse affects for both LSD and ssris, ssris seem to be worse yet they are legal.

  • turn on, tune in, and drop out!

  • I have had a really awful trip from a pretty high dose. It was terrifying and uncomfortable, felt like it was a week long. i came out of that with incredible insight into my life and the experience overall was defiantly worth it.

  • i like how they spend no time talking about how good the experience can be, instead "horrifying and scary", thats national geographic

  • I've done LSD over 15 times. Honestly, I've never had a bad trip. LSD isn't bad people. Maybe it's just me though.

  • Don't take LSD, it will kill you, look what happened to Albert Hoffmann...brilliant life cut short by the lsd :P

  • @HearingEveryRhyme he was 102 lol

  • @MillerAndSteffysPFP Precisely, imagine if he had never done LSD, he could have been like 74 or something.

  • taking LSD is not like playing russian roulette, im plan on dosing tonight and i can tell you whats gonna happen; im gonna trip balls, im gonna not be myself for a while, i will be unable to function in normal society for about 12 hours, then im gonna crash and sleep for hours. im not gonna have a "bad trip" (which are grossly exaggerated by anti-lsd people. a "bad-trip" is not screaming in fear while huddled in a corner think ing your going to die, its just when you dont have fun)

  • @ancalagog6 That happens, those are the best trips in a way though, the ones you really take something from. It's not just about a good time.

  • wow- thats why you always, at the very least, know who you're buying from... who meets up with some rando in the back of arbitrary alley to get their dose fix???

    btw- if u do have a bad trip, the stuff you've eaten is NOT lsd, it's some paper that's been cut with other chemicals...

  • Comment removed

  • For a more objective and balanced approach the BBC had a documentary called "LSD: The Beyond Within" - much, much, much better. It actually had facts.

  • AT 1.24 it looks like lugia!

  • very biased indeed

  • why dont they ever talk about good trips?

  • "im so high on LSD and i have no idea where i am" thumbs up if im not the only one who thinks that sounds like a great fucking time!!!!

  • theres no way that chick has ever done acid. who the fuck ever says:

    "I injested way too much lsd"

    "im so high on lsd"

    "i start walking into communities, that are probably nor safe communities for me to be alone"

    actress

  • God damn criminals. I bet he stole that one banana on purpose. His evil plans are working.

  • there is no such thing as "over-stimulating serotonin receptors in the brain."

    i mean, thats the point of lsd. fucking nat geo idiots.

  • this video is a horrible depiction of an lsd trip.

  • Christ, its LSD, not paint thinner. These little Nat-Geo documentaries are as far form reality as it gets.

  • @trivium1392 i didn't feel like i was dying

    LSD, you can still recognize your surroundings

    DMT, everything turns into somethings else

    i'm not putting down LSD...it's actually a very mind-opening experience

    but when it comes to the mind-altering psychedelics, DMT is the apex

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge

    That's debatable imo. Look up "thumbrinting." It is apparently like a 48 hour DMT trip power wise.

    The threshold dose of DMT is 1 milligram and the threshold for acid is 20 micrograms. Imagine taking a milligram of LSD lolol

  • you should read about DMT makes an acid trip look like a walk in the park

  • @PhillipThunderGrunge

    @PhillipThunderGrunge

    That's debatable imo. Look up "thumbrinting." It is apparently like a 48 hour DMT trip power wise.

    The threshold dose of DMT is 1 milligram and the threshold for acid is 20 micrograms. Imagine taking a milligram of LSD lolol People call DMT stronger because you can get to that point a lot easier, but the fact is it takes far less LSD to trip that hard, and far far longer.

  • k viva el LSD

  • honestly from my experiences... a bad or scary trip is what i like... makes your trip much more funner and intense having to deal with some crazy shit but when you're able to go through it and deal with it and when its finally over you feel soooooo good and like you accomplished something... but of course that's just my opinion

  • Nice job only showing how bad it can be, because if you know what to do when you're on it... it's amazing, life changing, and uplifting.

  • haha lsd paranoia sounds ironic

  • LSD doesn't change only your life, but the way you view the life you thought you knew... then ask yourself what is life when there's death, and that is LSD

  • ya trippin balls!

  • LSD is not a drug, It's a sacrament

  • dude wtf half of the bad shit like losing connection to yur body or time i would sorta like that to happen 

  • "From the sublime..." 3 seconds. "To the horrifying..." 3 minutes. How's that for fair and balanced reporting?

  • LSD changed my life

  • Comment removed

  • its like dreaming but real life. and when normal lights start changing colors, even colors u never had any idea exsisted thats a fun trip. some people cant handle it tho u have to b prepared for whats gona happen and just remember its a trip and will end... its what YOU make of it

  • yay acid

  • FUCK this fear mongering!

    I don't feel frightened when i lose track of my body. i don't feel frightened when i lose track of time. What is a body? What is time? Questions you will have a hard time knowing the proper (aka your own) answer to without the help of an altered state of one kind or another.

    They just said that every "tripper's" brain map is the same but the experience is different: Just proof that the illusions come not from within but without!

  • "Your most horrible nightmare happening while you're awake"

    lolol

  • So some dumb bitch named Alice kept on taking it and taking it. Sounds familiar.

    What do you do when you are outside of your body day after day and it never stops?

    I've had that problem for two years and I don't do any drugs or drink.

  • wow!!!! great show. If you have never dropped L. man u better be ready it will kick u in the face and when u thinks its done, BAM!!!! u get hit again. but once the heavy hallucinations go away and ur just coasting it feels like u got ur life back

  • Is LSD really da shit????? I WANa try it but I wanna know if it's a great trip

  • @93PANIC you wont know unless you try. just take it with a close friend or even by yourself dont ever go to a party with people you dont know.

  • LSD is always pure. a piece of paper cannot contain enough chemical to kill you there retarded and scaring people into doing this amazing mind opening substance

    

  • acid is the shit

  • 2:31 "to find your mind detatched from your body- that youve lost track of time" frightening my ass, THAT SHITS AWESOME
