Today, I decided to try LSD with a few friends in a safe environment. As an artist, I had planned to spend my trip doing psychedelic paintings and had all my supplies set up. Apparently I spent most of my time in fetal position muttering about the "evil easel" and never even touched my canvas. FML

Looking at the comments I see we've got some seriously mixed opinions about me. So, first off: Hi, I'm Juniper, I'm 23 and I'm in art school in the US. I have never tried LSD or any other kind of "hardcore" drug before this. My friend had some tabs that he had used before and asked me if I wanted to try it. I agreed, only after doing extensive research, and determining that the risk was one I was willing to take. During that research, I stumbled across some beautiful works of people who had done art under the influence and thought perhaps I could have some fun trying that as well. I'm an art student and always open to new things. My parents were also hardcore hippies back in the day, and they've told me about their psychedelic experiences. I knew my risks. I have no plans to take LSD again, although I'm not currently suffering any adverse effects aside from water tasting kinda metallic for the next 24 hours (this took place about a week ago.) And the FML is actually not entirely true, but exaggerated for comedic effect. The paranoia and muttering did not last the entire time, only about 15-30 minutes. My entire trip lasted about 9-10 hours. One of my friends decided to remove the easel when she saw that it was making me upset. I think its large, angled presence in the room was off-putting. I actually spent the majority of my time having a good trip, my friends took great care of me. And despite not touching my canvas, I made some radical drawings. I did my research, I knew my risks, I set myself up responsibly. I'm not looking for sympathy or support– I just thought I'd share my kinda funny story. Those of you who are calling me an idiot are entitled to your opinions, but you're not insulting a wall. I'm a human being that makes choices for myself. Those of you who abstain from drugs, you should be proud! That's wonderful and healthy, but please allow and do not judge me for my own choices. My experimental phase is not harmful or offensive to you. And to my fellow art junkies: I wasn't expecting to create a masterpiece, this was for fun. I'm a learning artist!

Drugs are harmful for you regardless of how 'safe' the environment is perceived to be.

Apparently it wasn't a very safe environment if even your easel is evil.

LMAO! In all your research, you should have found out that the first time taking anything doesn't go as planned so YDI, but that was too funny.

Actually, there is one adverse effect of acid, but only if you take a **** TON. You can actually give yourself schizophrenia permanently if you take oh, let's say an entire sheet of acid. But OP obviously didn't take that much, so I don't really see a problem with it. She didn't burst into my house, high off her shit and bother me, so it's not really any of my business. Whatever floats your boat. :)

Really? The CIA used to slip each other LSD as a hazing ritual until they got caught because someone was tripping a little too hard and jumped out a window.

I wonder how many people here who keep saying that drugs like these are harmful and are only for people with no success go out and get shitfaced drunk each weekend. I'd say at least 4 out of 5. Please take 10-15 minutes doing research on the topic you are going to comment about, before submitting your comment and making yourself seem like a dumbass. ^_^

To all the stuck ups, unless you're an artist too, you shouldn't judge. I can relate, somewhat. I'm also an artist, and I was literally in a rut when I had to figure out what to do for an art contest. I smoked weed (oh no, kill me) as a last resort to help. I won the contest. Now I know it isn't as bad as LSD, but be an artist for a week. With no inspiration, you'd get desperate, too. Stop being so quick to judge.

I've been an artist my entire life, and I've never done drugs. And I personally know over a dozen other artists as well, none of whom have done drugs either. So don't use it as an excuse for your own bad behavior. It's an insult to the rest of us.

It can be a gamble. But it sounds like you took all the right steps to have a good, safe trip. I personally love LSD but don't take it anymore since I've become a parent. Next time (If there will be a next time) try a more organic style of art, big rolls of paper on the ground it might feel more natural while tripping.
