1st Time Tripper

Only ever smoked weed before, looking for some answers so thanks in advance: (looking fort generic advice on LSD and Shrooms, just didn't feel the need to create 2 threads)

1. What's the weirdest hallucinations that can actually happen? Will it just be stuff like colours appearing brighter and merging into another, things appearing more alive etc. or or can you start to see things that aren't there/are the possibilities of what you could see on LSD/Shrooms endless?

2. Apart from a comfortable setting with a sober sitter and my iPod + some speakers/headphones, what else would you recommend?

3. What's the availability like on both substances? I've never actually be in direct contact with a dealer, I get it from a friend, but was wondering how limited I am by this? I live in Scotland.

Thanks

 

I live in scotland, glasgow. there isnt much lsd going around it's usally NBOME.

 

Welcome to Wonderland!!

1. Strength can vary. First timers sometimes dont feel anything. Some people are very effected by the substances some people are less.
The most important thing you should be ready for is that its not what you expect. It never is. You will feel a general change in consciousness, sensory information processing will change and you will be feeling very "weird".
With Lsd I often see colors breaking up, like white light through a crystal,rainbows everywhere, and I often see colors changing like... disco lights.
Things can become very detailed and rich in texture.
Geometric hallucinations are very common.( with both substances) the dirt on the ground will be arranged in strange forms, moving... objects seem to appear on the walls etc..
You can see many things. yes. Infinity itself will be revealed to you. so I would say the possibilities are endless. But your mind is not!

2. Something to eat, and drink while trippin. Be well rested. A bed is nice to lay in.
The best thing ever I could recommend is a sexual partner. Because sex is the most amazing thing to do on psychedelics

3. LSD can be very common.. but I think it is not really manufactured anymore. Somebody might disagree here. I dont know. I think we are still eating the Pickard acid. Since he made kilos per week.... but that was made long ago..

Mushrooms.. any one can grow mush. not hard to do. grows on cowshit too. its natural.

The rest.. the others will tell you

Peace!

 

1. visuals are dose dependent. for a first trip i wouldn't recommend a huge dose - therefore you are likely not going to hallucinate something that is not there. it will probably be brightened colors, swirling, morphing, "breathing," tracers, and things like that.

i find that psychedelic visuals are usually pretty subtle, even if they feel intense, it's like they are overlaid on top of reality, and you can see both.

the visuals are nothing to fear, IMO. the change in thought process is "scarier" than the visuals.


2. i would recommend some fruit to eat. i find oranges to be absolutely delicious when tripping.


3. real LSD is gonna be hard to find. shrooms will probably be easier. nowadays, a family of chemicals called NBOMe is often passed off as LSD on blotter. that shit is not as safe as LSD, so beware. it tastes bitter and numbing while LSD is relatively tasteless. you can also buy a test kit..

if you are getting acid, make sure to ask the person "is this LSD?"

 

I've done shrooms a few places. A friends basement living room, a hotel room, and in a field during warmer months.

I agree with pork on "change of thought process" being scarier.

Unless you want to have a bad trip, try to have someone with you who will help you have happy thoughts.

Looking in mirrors can either be really cool, or really scary. The reactions and faces we make in the mirror go so unnoticed when you're sober but they are a world different when I have tripped.

I think availability would depend on where you live. In Virginia, shrooms were usually around somewhere. In San Diego - not so much.

 

2) check out nature


3) LSD availability seems to kind of ebb and flow, there are some new chemicals being passed off as LSD which are quite easily accessible though, so be careful and I'd reccommend testing your hits. In my state, Shrooms are kind of the same with ebb and flow availability but most states you can attain materials to grow them fairly easily.

 

Be careful with the mirror guy!! He is tricky. When you don't look he is not doing what you do!! I had full on Jekyll and Hyde experiences with mirrors. Can be very freaky....

 

For a first timer be moderate with dose, respect mushrooms. Also don't mix drugs.

Asking "is it LSD' will prob just get an answer "of course" but I guess you can only ask.

 

Omg I know. Also they watch from mirrors. *shudders*

 

I'm a very curious person so no doubt I'll feel the urge to look in a mirror. What's the scariest I'm likely to see?

Also, I remember watching a documentary on LSD and one person said they took a trip through architectural history. This seems pretty fucking surreal so I'm wondering if if things like this/serious hallucinations are found only on higher doses?

 

You'll see what ever you project out / reflect. Even things you don't know you're doing you might perceive a way. Its hard for me to say, you just have to experience it for yourself.

As far as dosage goes, I would start out with something somewhat modest. Do it a few times before you try getting high high doses.


Also, I've had a bad stomach ache the morning after I ate shrooms. So you can expect it to feel a little uneasy.

 

200 ugs is generally considered the lower threshold dose to produce that kind of full blown trip, which means about 2-4 hits of common hits of LSD. A dose lower then that may produce color enhancements, altered thoughts and some visuals but usually people remain more rooted in consensual reality.

 

Flying monkeys...



Kidding...breathing trees can be a little freaky at first though, and the idea that trees are aware of you isn't unusual...they are!

It's bullshit, you are only going to see mostly patterns and colors. A trip through architectural history might happen but you won't 'see' it except in your minds eye. lotta cool and scary shit can happen there so you must always remember you are just trippin'...

large blank landscapes like grassy hillsides will reveal aztec-like patterns and colors.
You won't wonder anymore how those ancients came up with that shit! :2thumbsup:

 

1. it can be morphing, breathing, swirling, geometrics, but that is just the tip of the ice burg. It does not create hallucinations in the normal sense, but it can completely restructure reality right before your eyes. You can literally start to see dimensions that you didn't know existed. Like your reality frame will start to split, and indescribable fields of invisible light will start pouring out the seams of your awareness. You can look at a blanket and see a mountain village in it, so detailed, you can see the shutters on the houses of the village. You can look at a crack in the wall, and see the pharohs temple in perfect detail, including statues with bird heads. Or reality can be completely replaced with something completely alien which has no similarities to anything you would see on earth. Acid awakes the infinite, there is endless endless possibilities to it.

2. A good acid trip doesn't need much more than an open mind. Its not about what you do on acid, but what acid does to you. A comfortable area to be open and free in is whats best. The acid will be more entertaining than any song or video game or anything else you think you want to do on acid.

3. Acid comes to you when your ready. I heard you got good stuff in Scotland, so just look around some raves or something, you'll find it.

 

Yep, so leave your electronic devices at home and find a calm place as far away from civilization as possible... nature is the most wonderful place you could ever possibly be when you are tripping. :2thumbsup:

 

not mixing drugs is a good suggestion. i wouldn't mix alcohol (not that it seemed you were planning to)

also - checking out nature. very good suggestion.

you'll get a simple answer (probably some form of yes), but that allows you to evaluate HOW they answer.

they might say "yeah, this shit is fire." then you can be persistent..."yeah, but is it LSD? i don't want some other chemical."

or they might say something weird like "this kind of acid makes you have really cool visuals. make sure you hold it in your mouth for a half hour."
that sounds like NBOMe

probably not very helpful to someone that is new to tripping, but after a few interactions with people, i have decided that i will always ask that simple, clarifying question when buying acid. "is it LSD?"

i've had some very enjoyable times while looking in the mirror. watching my face distort of and stuff. it might grow or get brighter. there have been times when everything around my reflected face took on an orange glowing hue. and it felt like something was gonna happen. either i was gonna do something that my reflection didn't follow, or it was gonna do something without me.

there have also been times where i was CONVINCED that my face was crooked. my eyes didn't line up. my nose was crooked (it may actually be).

on some of my earlier trips, i had some bad times too. one mushroom trip in particular - i looked in the mirror and
"saw all of the sadness in my eyes"
it was a very profound feeling and remains one of my most "bad" trips.

 

Stare into your own eyes in the mirror, intensely for as long as you can without blinking. Shit can get pretty crazy.

 

oh 1 more thing I forgot to write down. try not to think too much about things. a trip is a trip. it's gonna take you somewhere. you just lay back and let it happen. thats the
most important advice I can give. go with the flow and you are probably gonna laugh your ass off and have a fantastic time. first few trips are very euphoric; you are gonna have fun!!

 

Hey, I have some more questions:

1. I was planning on getting a drug test kit to test any psychedelics I do. Do they just tell you what exactly a certain substance is as well as what the dosage level is?

2. While I know psychedelics are a relatively safe drugs (the only drugs I'd ever touch would be weed and psychedelics), there are people that have gone loopy from them so I'm wondering what sort of personality traits might point towards pyschedelics being a bad idea/is it a good idea finding out if I am predisposed to any mental illnesses?

 

1. the kit will test for the presence of a drug. it can't tell you the dose. or the purity.
i've never used one personally, so i would just do a search for the particular test kit to figure out what each color change would indicate. wherever you buy the kit will have information about that.

2. are you depressed? do you feel mentally unstable? are you diagnosed with any "mental illness?" is anyone in your family? do you hear voices? if you answer yes to any of those questions, it will be a larger risk to take psychedelics.
