Trying LSD For The First Time Soon

[metaljuana]

My friend found some acid, and we are planning to trip fairly soon at my house when my mom is at work. (We have 3 hits for the both of us, but we are taking one at a time to be safe) My girlfriend and my friends girlfriend will be watching out for us to make sure we will be okay. I feel very confident about the trip, and feel like it will turn out very well. I would like some suggestions on how to approach this trip, how I should alter my surroundings for the most comfortable trip, and other factors you believe should be addressed. Thank you for any advice you post. Cheers. :cheers2:

Make sure there is no possibility your mom could come home. If she does while your tripping it could ruin it all together and possibly get you in trouble. I would suggest having everything cleaned up too, so u dont trip over shit. that and have liquids available. everyone needs a good liquid now and then

Don't save any for later. Split it up and take it all at once. Problems almost never arise because you took too much. They almost always arise because you didn't take enough, and have some illusion that you can still maintain control.

I agree, make sure you won't be bothered for at least 6 hours, 10 if you can manage it.
Remember to get outside for at least part of the trip.
People you love, a comfortable place, food, things to drink, music, art supplies, books, cool lights, anything you think is awesome will probably be even more awesome while tripping.
Anything you've been interested in but never really explored could be fun to have around.

^Problems never arise from taking too much? Much more problems will arise from taking too much and losing all control and scaring the shit out of yourself because you didn't understand how powerful it would be.

Taking a little bit and getting to understand the trip is a much better way to do it, IMO.

You can always take more, but you can never go back once you've taken too much.

My first time, 1 hit was extremely insane, anymore and I probably would have cried for my mother.

"Losing all control" is what you want to do. If you delude yourself into thinking you have any control, in the words of the ski instructor on South Park, you're not gonna have a good time.

A lot of people go into their first psychedelic experience thinking it'll be even slightly like something they've experienced before... like being drunk, or being asleep, or being high. Some experience where your perception is altered, but if you have enough will power and presence of mind, you can keep a grip on things. Psychedelics are not like that. You have to let go. If you struggle, you're going to make yourself miserable.

An effective dose of a pyschedelic SHOULD scare you shitless... at least for the first few times. It's not a matter of being scared or not. It's a matter of being happy scared or miserable scared. And if you arrange things beforehand, so you know that physically you will be safe, and if you take enough of the psychedelic so that you will not be able to fight it, there's really nothing to fear. You'll still be afraid, because you'll be completely flooded with unconceivable novelty. But you won't get The Fear.

I agree with you partly, It shouldnt scare you shitless, it should be more of a WOW I CAN ACTUALLY GET THIS HIGH type feeling, Which i laughed at because it was the only thing i could think of doing....But just let go and have fun...Letting go is the best part in my opinion :cheers2:


Main tip......Enjoy no matter what

sounds like u r in a good frame of mind so are more likely to have fun. Good advice from others saying prepare for it with groovy stuff to do ie have wacky poster or fractal pictures etc and absolutely make sure you have some great music, hehe i recommend very early pink floyd and doors and hendrix and beetles, esp magical mystery tour and sgnt peper and even if u have heard them 1001 times before u will never have heard anything like it on acid as muic is out of this world.

If u start to have bad feelings or thoughts and esp if u start indulding in them remind your self you are just tryping and catch the bad vibes early and change your mood and setting. Just go with the flow and dont fight it. "

someone i know was apprehensive too but ended up laughing his ass off for much of the time and being amazed at how great the music is hehe. The worst thing about it is when u come down and want to sleep so try take early afternoon as lasts looong time. Some herb can help with experience.

enjoy



Within you without you:-

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
