No LSD Is Not A Painkiller

First off lets get something out of the way, I'm not here to bash drugs. I'm an ex addict myself, I still use drugs recreationally every now and then, I know how to control myself and I'm doing fine now. I'm not here to tell you LSD is dangerous or addictive (it can be addictive if abused but its not particularly dangerous), I'm not here to tell you that drugs are bad and you should never use them, if thats how you feel why are you here on this sub? <br><br>People From The Subreddit r/LetsNotMeet please be advised this topic is mostly about drugs, you may not be comfortable here. <br><br>On to the topic at hand: **No LSD Is Not A Painkiller**<br><br>On January 14th I had a "back procedure of some sort" (let's just call it that because I have no idea what happened other than me getting an injection in my back as well as painkillers for 2-3 months) and the doctor anesthesiologist assured me that I'd be completely fine after "a few weeks" and I'd be feeling no pain after. I'd be able to eat, walk, jump, do yoga, etc perfectly fine without ANY issues after that period of time. The pain subsided a bit and I got back to walking around and doing my daily routine again, I still had some pain though. So I went back to the doctor and told him about my pain. He said I must have "over exerted myself" and as long as I stop over exerting myself I'll be fine. So I go to another doctor to get an opinion, and guess what? I need another "back procedure of some sort". <br><br>So I get anxious, I'm in pain, was in and out of the hospital for a month already. I don't know what to do with myself. So I decide to take some LSD. I thought "hey I've read that it can increase your pain tolerance and reduce pain dramatically" (I've had terrible tooth-aches where I couldn't afford to go to the dentist for 5 months, a little acid was enough to take the pain away for a good hour or 2, and I was able to focus on work). I had some acid lying around (I'm not sure of the dosage but I'd say it was a very strong trip as well, enough to send my wife to the hospital and she only had half the amount I had) so I took it. <br><br>The trip was so fucking bad. I was crying. I was having the worst pain of my life, I was absolutely sure I was going to die. I was hallucinating that my back had an open wound and I could see bone coming out of it. It made me jump off the bed and start to feel my back and see if its really like that. Imagine my surprise when I felt no open wound. 5 hours into the trip and it was still fucking terrible, the pain was so bad, I was absolutely sure I was going to die. <br><br>The last time I took LSD it was so much fucking fun, I had an excellent time, I went to the hospital because my wife had a panic attack and she was hallucinating spiders coming out of her vagina (she had a panic attack and didn't want to take an anti-anxiety pill, she wanted to go to the ER, we went to the ER and they gave her an anti-anxiety pill). I was doing JUST fine. We were there for 5 or 6 hours before they released her and she felt better. The trip for me was still going super strong and I was doing fine, I was in control, I didn't have any issues at all. I was doing JUST fine.<br><br>This trip was different, it was so fucking bad. I was completely sure I was going to die. I had the worst fucking pain of my life, it lasted for God knows how long (I think it was around 8 or 10 hours total), I was crying, my wife was absolutely sure I was going to die as well. We thought we fucked up and took a bad batch, or maybe we took WAY too much. I mean I'm a man that can handle drugs, I'm absolutely not scared of them, I've seen every color of the rainbow, I've lived an entire life in one hour. Nothing surprises me when Im on drugs, NOTHING, until this trip. <br><br>The trip lasted for God knows how long (my wife said it was 12 hours, but to be honest I think she exaggerates, I'm not sure if it was that long though) and I'm still in pain. I was crying, I was absolutely sure I was going to die. No, no, no, no, no, no, no LSD is NOT a painkiller. I've never felt such terrible pain in my life, I thought my organs were shutting down, I was sure of it. <br><br>No LSD Is Not A Painkiller.
