Alcohol VS LSD Challenge (Video)

[beatenwarrior]

A youtuber I'm subscribed to just posted this. He performs different challenges while drunk and while on 3 tabs of acid and then compares his results. I thought the comparison was fascinating and hilarious. It's too bad you wouldn't be able to do a video like this with DMT, you'd be too busy laying there with your eyes shut lol.

Not fair but hilarious :thumb_up:

At the end of watching this I was extremely frustrated for the reason that I wanted to scream, "Yes, EXACTLY! So why doesn't anyone understand this?!?!?!"

I appreciate that he's willing to demonstrate, and it was quite humorous, but I get so angry that no one seems to get it when you show this to them. Then that stat at the end really upsets me too. I read that post on here about the guy who tragically drowned after blacking out on DMT and the comments following--Ugh, I get sick just thinking about it. But then I've also been thinking that this kind of thing happens all the time on alcohol. And even though it's a tragedy both ways, when it happens on "drugs" people point and say, "see, 'drugs' are bad!" when they don't immediately jump to prohibition when a teen passes out in a snow bank and dies after a party.

Barghlargh... the world is so weird!

:lol:
I've never liked alcohol. Always seemed like a crappy substance to me. I mean if you think about it, your drinking a solvent.

I've never liked the way it makes people act especially compared to lsd.
but it's socially acceptable & pushed by the government for the money they make on it.
I've made a game of it though i guess.
Go to a party, drop a 200mg capsule of mdma, & sit back & watch how stupid everyone gets while they drink & make poor decisions.
I find it funny. Not the way they act. That they insist on drinking disgusting alcohol & acting in a way they'll regret tomorrow when there are much better substances to be had for their money & much better states of mind to be in.

Same here, except Id be totally sober while watching everyone make an ass of themselves and at the expense of being physically sick. Its so sad the drinking culture amongst 14-30 year olds, how alcohol tolerance is overglorified as something to be proud of. People actually think their ability to consume something that literally makes your own body fail you is important and awesome, with no positives to come from it. Way to go partyers, way to go.

People just go with the crowd and follow suit. It's pathetic, it's sad, and it's upsetting to see at the same time.

If only I had a hit of acid for every beer, life would be dandy.

That looks like a fantastic place to drop acid

The same could be said for going to a party sober (or drunk) to watch people make asses of themselves on MDMA; I love to watch people gurn!

The problem has nothing to do with alcohol. It is more to do with a society that is focussed on decadent consumersim. Whether it be drinking loads, smoking reefer all day, buying new washing machines or taking "heroic" doses of psychedelics.

But we're talking about alcohol here. Not washing machines, hence why I simply focused in on alcohol. But, yes excessive consumerism in general is an astronomical problem.

Yes i understand that and i believe that overglorified tolerance does not just apply to alcohol but to all drugs and that this is related to how we have been conditioned.

Juiceheads regale their friends with tales of drunken idiocy (after they"ve mopped up the vomit), e-heads spend days on end gurning and being over nice to eachother (atleast until suicide Tuesday kicks in), potheads sit on their backsides all day (only moving slightly every few hours to fill the piss bottle that is kept within arms reach), tripheads "go deep" (smoalk moar), smackheads bore eachother senseless on how many times they"ve been over (and moan about how pretentious the tripheads are) . For the most part we are all consuming and abusing like happily deluded little baa lambs.

I am as guilty as anyone when it comes to substance abuse and i have come to the conclusion that it is just as possible to cultivate a positive relationship with alcohol as it is with entheogens. It is not the drug that is at fault but the individual. And the individual has been sculpted by their environment. And in our environment we are encouraged, from all sides, to consume.

I actually know the guy in that video!!

^If you know him, ask him what compelled him to put his face on youtube as a "drug user." I'm always amazed when someone shows themselves taking drugs on a public venue like that. Like that dude who used to upload all the "Doing things on Salvia" videos. Does that ever come back to haunt them? Do they regret such a choice. I mean it's an awesome video, and I fully condone the use of acid of course, but I know we live in a world where the majority still thinks that "LSD" is evil and makes people jump off cliffs. Even a video like this doesn't normally make the average person see things the way that we Nexus members do.

I feel like I'm ranting... but I just wonder when I see that kinda stuff.

You are a lucky person Downwards. Everyone should have a vacant faced gurner in their lives. They"re like security blankets. I always feel re-assured that the world is still turning on it"s correct axis when i see a gurner.
