If I'm still just on the acid trip I started July 24th 2005 what types of things would you say to convince me this isnt a hallucination? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Acid doesn't take 20 years to metabolize. :)

https://americanaddictioncenters.org/lsd-abuse/how-long-system-body

"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.

    ... More like 2.5*10^728 grams. Which would be like taking the number of particles in the (observable*) universe, making a new universe for each one, then taking the number of particles in all those universes and making a universe for each one... 9 levels deep. That many grams.

    (*Every time I say universe I mean observable)

    Edit: Oops, I forgot it's 20 years, not just one. I think that's Multiply both the 728 and the 9 by 20.

    Yeah, got better numbers from a better calculator:

    1.8e14665 grams
    That's 183 levels of universes of universes.

    Ok, I dig it. What about perception of time. Got any info on that?

    I would suggest that's possibly a different issue and to see a medical professional

    Never looked into the half life but first time it took like 6-7 hours to see the ceiling swirl nicely. I wouldn't assume many days lasting though. The wired framed mech I wanted to see out my 3rd story window at like 4am was beat though, especially when I made it walk back and forth.

    But after many times, including after seeing the Teletubbies sun face randomly (actually not even the most awesome hallucination that trip), after 12 hours I was mostly sober.

    Other time I recall was about 10 hours after first dropping went to a rave and got home,I saw some fun colours in the shower water, into infinity between the tiles, then yelled a Madeline cartoon cause they left their luggage 3 scenes before they checked in and had it next to them again..then went to bed and was all tired later cause my sleeping schedule was mixed up.

    I wouldn't think it last longer than say 12 hours unless other factors are in play.

    Edit forgot to say, most of my acid trips I saw no more than stucco ceiling swirling for a hallucination. So don't take these experiences as standard...well maybe the watching that Madeline episode that was stupid continuity but expected for a tv show made for kids.
