I always feel like my mind has had a 'spring clean' after a trip. Re-energised, and more optimistic

 

Do bad things always followed me and difficult to eliminate them or is it just my mind only. hopefully.

 

Havn't gotten around to trying lsd yet, but with the spring coming in, my friend can get it easier. Should I smoke pot with it or take it alone. My friends tend to smoke up before taking it to keep in a good mood.

 

i usually smoke during the onset to relieve the butterflies then resume smoking on the comedown.

 

I say take it alone, take LSD as a complete experience for it's first time. Pot diminishes the experience to a degree imo.

 

Hey guys. I've got a few questions. This weekend my boyfriend is going to try acid for the first time. He's done loads of research and such and feels pretty confident about his first experience.

I'm going to be his spotter. We have a great environment (epic foresty backyard), the weather should be wonderful, we'll have some chill tunes at hand too. He is going to take ONE blotter that's relatively strong. Sooo questions are as follows:

What should we really expect? Will he be tripping so hard he can't hold a normal conversation or appear normal to onlookers? Also for one blotter at an above average strength, about how long until he comes down and is pretty much "back to normal?"

 

So yesterday I took 1 hit of LSD. It was claimed to be good acid, and I trust the guy that I got it from, he's tripped quite a few times before.. He said 1 hit was all I needed, so I did so. Took half of the hit at 1pm and the second half at 3pm, dunno why I didn't take the whole thing at once.. But anyways.. I was tripping in the city, then went to a buddies house to trip for a bit. I felt good, but my mind was so messed. I had so many thoughts and most of it was about how people viewed me, which was uncomfortable because I the people that I felt that were judging me were right in front of me!
Visuals were very slim, everything just felt a little bit off, nothing too out of the ordinary though.
I'm just wondering if this mindfuck is due to not taking a large enough dose, or maybe I should admit defeat and say LSD isn't my type of drug?
I'd really like to experience the full on high of visuals and good feelings sometime soon, seeing as I can get more of this acid.. So, is it worth maybe doubling my dose?
Thanks for the feedback!

 

I'd take 3 if you want to aim for a full LSD experience and just chill somewhere comfortable. It sounds like a low dose and many people will claim 'this is good stuff, or all you need is 1 hit'

 

Sorry if this has been answered. I read through the first ~12 pages and the last one and didn't see it dealt with in depth and also lolwikipediad it. I'm planning on taking acid for my first time this weekend. I will be with a good friend who has tripped before, and she will be taking shrooms (she's on lithium atm and doesn't want to do any acid). I am not at all worried about a bad trip. If it happens, it happens, but I don't anticipate one. What I am worried about is any long term effects.

No history of mental illness in the family or anything, but I am about to start a career that requires pretty analytical thinking. Not trying to be a douche here, but my brain is basically my moneymaker, and while I'm pretty open-minded about a lot of things and really looking forward to this experience, is it likely to be negatively affecting my ability to think at a high level ~2 months down the line?

If it matters, I'm pretty inexperienced with drugs in general. I've smoked twice, most recently a few days ago, and taken ~4 percocets over the last year or so, but that's it. I'm mostly trying acid because I don't anticipate ever getting a chance to again once I start this career, and wanted to try it at least once.

Thanks for any advice or links anyone can provide.

 

LSD will not affect your cognition. Especially not one low dose of it. In fact the more likely outcome is you will see a rise in creativity, outside-the-box thinking, and analytic skill.

Your friend's Lithium will interact with mushrooms as much as it would interact with LSD FYI. Both compounds act in virtually the same way in the brain, through the same pathways.

Phyretruk: Take more, definitely. One hit is often enough for a mindfuck but not enough for strong visuals; those tend to start in the ~3 hit range as guerr said.

He will be giggly, silly, emotional, have the mind of a curious child, be easily distracted, be easily focused on what you may think of as "nothing", will get excited, want to explore and do things and switch activities abruptly.

If it's good acid he will have trouble speaking perfectly but one hit shouldn't influence that TOO much, but "languageizing" is difficult on LSD. He certainly will be very obviously intoxicated. A stranger might not notice because a stranger won't know how he acts normally, but someone who knows him will tell instantly that he is tripping.

8-12 hours is the length of LSD's primary effects.

 

Thanks, one followup question. I didn't read this forum before I got it, and it was in my pocket for about 15 minutes. Is that long enough to ruin it?

 

nope its fine its hardier than that

 

I've never done acid before, and my history with psyches is very limited to 2 150mg lines of molly.
I always hear my friends talking about their trips as incredible journeys of self discovery and I want that. I'm 5'11, 250 pounds, how many hits should I take to get one of those trips? I'm kind of new to the whole psychedelic scene, but I've been smoking weed regularly for the past 3 years. When I drop for the first time I'm going to be with friends that are seasoned trippers that I trust completely in case anything heads south.

 

As many as you can afford to eat, all at once, if they are tabs your friends have already tested.

If the are tabs that no one you know has had experience with, 1 or 2. Then as many as you can afford from the same batch a month after initial dose.

 

Personally for a first time, I would recommend one hit, then after that once you haave 'tested the water' you could dive back in with 2 or 3? It's up to you, acid varies in potency and quality so much...

 

I loved it, and think its good, but when your ready (emotional energy in the right place) and its a great catalyst, perhaps the greatest catalyst... who knows... a powerful one indeed though... lucy was very good to me.. i had her 15 times and every time was the best ever... i miss her... its been since late 2005. and every day is better than before because of the experiences I had... I just have been anticipating the next trip for so long, and really excited if it ever does come... but have to get my mind in the right place first... and i have been working on that alot too... its really fun... i just cant wait for her again and love it!!! Maybe one day...


So my advice to anyone having a first trip, just get ready for who knows what, and

:sunny:as i felt like a burning star full of emotion, it was bright, magnificent, and indescribable :sunny:



just be ready for it thats all



and one blotter tab would be all you need for a first time, (my first time was one tab, and it still was really good...) Ive also taken 2 and that was really cool... just work your way up if you plan on taking more than one eventually

 

I definitely went out of my way to get it.. and once I did, it found its way to my mouth very quickly... A much anticipated and very special feeling.. One that has yet to be reckoned with today. As I begin to unwind and loosen all my inhibitions and holdings I start to feel really really good.. It felt like I was glowing and the light that surrounded me penetrated everything i saw. Heaven was just a mile away.. The indescribable feeling of pure, unprogrammed experience will make you grow and love... Some of the most important things to us.. The demons expelled and what remains is just all you will ever need... warmth, love, joy, curiousity, wonder and excitement. And yes, it is impossible to control just as it is impossible to explain what is haoppening to you.. but you know it is good and I quickly fell in love with her from day 1. Lucy is my favorite by far because of its immense power to unlock your deepest inner blessings. And as you let go you begin to eminate radiance and joy! I cant even come close to explaining it, its like trying to tell someone how you feel... but with a feeling that flys to the stars, and you begin to remember the important meaningful things about life, stuff that makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, something that can only be discerned by like minded individuals.. you begin to remember things that matter and are precious beyond what can be measured... Thank you lucy, you truly were a gift!!

 

In relation to everything you guys have said I have read a lot of LSD horror stories on the internet and was really weary taking it.
Once I did I realised a lot of these "bad experiences" were basically lies to put you off LSD in the first place.
There are 3 rules you should stick to whilst being calm on acid.
1.Stay in a safe environment.
2.To prevent an extensional crisis, keep really good friends around (ones that aren't likely to freak you out whilst you're coming up or during your trip)
3. Go with it, if you try fight the feelings you're having and try to stay in control you might freak out and panic. Acid is meant to be mind bending, let it bend your mind and accept and enjoy what its going to let you see!
My first trip was the most mind blowing experience of my life, it made me feel really sick to think that people would purposefully put you off doing something which is potentially physically harmless!

 

glad to hear all his. i might indulge in a few hours and this is the least nervous i've felt about doing it. it just feels right so im gonna go for it and enjoy the hell out of it. i will be by a river surrounded by lovely people, live music, art, hula hoopin, and good vibes all around :biggrin:

 

When I first took acid I was walking by a lake and the water looked 3D then we went through a field and about 15 cows started following us! Not the nicest thing to see when cows can potentially charge at you angrily!
