Comment on MK Ultra 2: Electric Boogaloo
archonet@lemy.lol 1 day agoI’m like 50% certain (as someone who has not partaken in the substances which I’m about to talk out my ass regarding) that OOP must’ve simply meant something less… kosher, shall we say – PCP? Bath salts? Cocaine? Some other drug that would actually account for the insanity? As far as I know LSD is a vastly more pleasant experience than whatever the fuck is going on in the world right now, unless you’re taking really massive doses, in which case… I think things would be arguably less coherent, though you’ve absolutely got me stumped as to how the current news cycle could be more insane than it already is.

I mean it CAN be pretty dark traumatizing for sure (see Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, especially the White Rabbit scene), but either way, when you’re tripping on LSD, you definitely WILL notice that something’s not right. Wild visual and auditorial hallucinations, vibrant colors and rainbow patterns, up to and including synesthesia (i.e. seeing sound and hearing pictures) are all known to occur.
Even at a low dose it produced noticeable mood changes, though usually no hallucinations.

Precisely what I mean. If it were a high enough dose to notice, we’d all be tripping balls. If it weren’t, I would assume everyone to just be mildly more pleasant. And uh… that is absolutely not what is happening. Nobody is pleasant right now. At all.

Correct. Therefore, there’s definitely no LSD in the water.
