Hey it’s me, I’m you from the year 2028. The only way out is to take more lsd but we didn’t realize it soon enough and now global warming (we’re calling it that again) has made the necessary ingredients impossible to source. You have to take a lot more acid right now in order to break out.
Godspeed traveler.
Oh shit. Do I listen?
Acid doesn’t take 20 years to metabolize. :)

“The half-life of LSD is 3.6 hours, which means it takes about that amount of time for half of the dose to be cleared from the bloodstream.4”
So, say you took a typical dose of 25μg to 150μg, 3.6 hours later you have 1/2 that… 12.5 to 75. Another 3.6 hours later, 6.25 to 37.5.
After even just a few days it would essentially be nothing. It’s no longer detectable in hair past 90 days.
Ok, I dig it. What about perception of time. Got any info on that?
Dude. That table lamp. Something’s fucky about it, don’t you think? I can’t quite put my finger on it.
“You shouldn’t have said that. Now, everyone’s laughing at you behind your back. And there’s a spider in your hair.”
Actually, I’d rather YOU convince me it isn’t.
If you feel like you’re starting to come out of it, bring us back there with you.
Luckily you would have never existed or only exist as some pseudo version of yourself here.
It’s July 23, 2005. You haven’t taken any acid yet.
I probably wouldn’t try to convince you that it’s not a hallucination, but rather ask “so what if it is?”.
For example, I’m fairly sure that I’m not currently tripping, but I am also certain that my brain is the ultimate unreliable narrator. How do I know if any of this is real, or ever has been real? What does “real” even mean? Honestly, I don’t know, but ultimately it doesn’t change anything about how I choose to act in life
You don’t remember? It’s still 2005, you just somehow took 4 full hits of DMT
That sounds lovely, NGL. 🥰
This actually is still a hallucination, but also not. The acid made you realize that there is fundamentally no difference between reality and unreality, and that existence and nonexistence are the same thing. There is no “substance” to the universe, and the acid made you realize this.
Fuck that, I’d ask if you have more.
Considering how popular lamps are on lemmy right now, I’d say you might figure it out on your own
edit: direct link
You must have better acid than me, it mostly just makes me see patterns and have strange thoughts and definitely doesn’t last 20yr.
Are you on a permo? A permanent trip?
