No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It really is a matter of "set and setting" (to quote Leary), plus chemical variability due to black markets.
Sometimes a trip can be intensely visual and have you giggling at an unnamed wonderful shared secret.
Sometimes a trip can just be a sense of existential doom and a vivid imagination, the worst kind of disjointed lost nightmare you half-remember from childhood.
It's not binary ofc. You have 6-8 hours of intense experience, which is a lot of time to drift from one mental space to another.
The #1 thing I can suggest is to plan a well-stocked bicycle picnic lunch in a low-traffic park. Bring water. Bring a first-aid kit. Bring a friend or two. Bring a frisbee. Bring lots of different kinds of music to listen to. Plan to spend a lot of time walking or sitting quietly, enjoying nature.
Oh, and it's qualitatively different from weed.
As an analogy: no matter how much alcohol you drink, you never feel high like you ate a single gummy.
Imagine eating a whole bag of edibles while strung out on coffee and not enough sleep. It's... not really like that
Oh yeah and one more thing especially given the actual song in the OP -- do not take acid to "forget your troubles".
IT WORKS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT
Have your shit together as much as possible before you dose.
Agreed, BUT ALSO: Everyone, at all times, has shit they’ve got to get together, though. It can help with that if you’re ready
You should leave this here if its your own experience 😁
This is just adorable regardless of LSD or not 🤣🩷
I'm glad erowid has survived all these years. My best stories may or may not been saved there for posterity, and therefore cannot be referenced here 😋
The bicycle thing is something I have done several times on several continents (fun fact: LSD is the easiest drug to bring on international flights)
One time in college, myself and a group of friends all biked to a big field and simultaneously took LSD, shrooms, and edibles. I finally really grokked freshman physics when the force vectors on the frisbee were glowing neon.
