Hello, im planning to drop acid in this or next month for the first time, also im planning on doing it alone, since the closest person who i would feel comfortable tripping with is far. Im too socially paranoid around the other acquitances when im high, so i estimate that on lsd it will be much worse. I really want to explore my mind and help solve my problems and expand spirtually. And how much of a dose would be good enough for the trip ?

 

In what form are you taking the lsd? If paper, 2-3 hits should give u a good idea of what lsd is like.

 

The 'form' of the LSD doesn't effect potency at all, but at the average dose of today's hits 1-3 are good doses. I personally took 2 my first time.

 

Generally microdots are more potent than paper. The average dose on a hit of blotter is ~100ug while the average dose on a microdot is ~175ug. I have seen 200ug microdots and blotter with a little as 50ug and as much as 185ug on them. That was buying straight from the people laying the LSD though. I always knew exactly how much I was taking. So yeah, generally speaking I wouldn't lump blotter and microdots together saying they are pretty much the same potency.

 

Hope it goes well! My first trip was alone on 3, and I think it was one of the best times of my life! I sometimes wish I waited later in life to do it, but it was certainly an amazing experience. My first experience seemed like one of my most important, even though it could have arguably have not been the "best". I think a solo may be a good way to have a meaningful experience, the only thing is you have to be prepared just in case you have to fight off the demons. Make sure you're in a good place in life. If I ever use it due to depression, I feel like there's no meaning, and I'm using it only as an escape, which seems more abused than anything. Only once though has it amplified the effects in a scary way, and time felt stagnant, and there was nothing happening, and nothing going to happen.

I always suggest documentaries, its a fun way to learn what you need to know, and retain the information, the more you know going in, the more comfortable you may feel on the drug. Some people prefer to going in knowing less which is okay I suppose, but just know that you will come back no matter how far you go. I don't know if you're a smoker, but I suggest trying to stick to just plain LSD as Marijuana will alter the effects. (The beginning becomes weaker, the peak stronger, and the end brings back some earlier effects)

I kind of want to be alone high too.. most of the time at least. LSD replicates some of the effects as schizophrenia, so being alone can be very pleasant. It's always hard to recommend a solo trip, because it requires a certain amount of trust on yourself that others won't know enough about. If you feel comfortable exploring within yourself, go for it. But try to come onto this site if you ever freak out on it, you should be able to get help almost instantly. What's hard about LSD, is it's safer than many myths will proclaim, but that doesn't mean you're garunteed to be danger-free. You may have to face a part of yourself you ignored, or truly didn't know about. Looking to meditate, or just spiritually seek yourself should result in a very pure joyous trip, so good luck man! I hope if you do try it, it will treat you well!

 

Tripping on LSD alone with minimal stimulation (No TV, Video Games, ect) and nice background music is great. Taking a short walk around outside and just laying back allowing your imagination take you away is so peaceful. I love it. I think I am going to plan a solo pretty soon. I have two very potent microdots that have been chilling in my freezer for a while, calling my name.

 

Thankyou black lotus, G0dm4ch1n3, im getting some blobbers with 150micrograms, and is pink floyd good for the music selection ?

 

What ever you like sober you will like tripping, but yeah, pink floyd is incredible!! They honestly may have not been a band if it weren't for LSD, they're a good band to listen to, I like us and them while tripping. The gnome or anything off of animals is also good!

 

oh and echos is a must!

 

Okay thanks

 

Have never tried acid/lsd but am considering it in future. However, I suffer from mild OCD. If I made sure to take it while in a good emotional state, would I be able to avoid a bad trip or should I avoid the drug completely?

 

You have to trust that you will be ok. I suffer from severe anxiety but it has never really messed with any of my trips. If you are in a good mindset in a comfortable setting you'll be fine. You can't sit and worry wether or not your ocd will bother you.

Just take it slow. What is your overall experience with psychedelics?

 

Taking lsd while in a good emotional state will most likely result in a wonderful mind opening experience. As long as you account for set and setting you should have no problem, although you can never guarantee a good trip. Do a lot of research before you try it and try to determine the best time and place. Apart from that you just need to have an open mind and go into the trip seeking to learn from it. That's what lsd is all about. Good luck

 

Good to be back on the city.

I got my hands on a sheet of 50 tabs from a guy who messed up while he was laying them. He says each tab contains 10-50 mcgs. I was planning on splitting them with a friend of mine so we'd each end up having to eat 25 pieces of paper.

The only other time I've dropped acid we only had two hits each so there was significantly less paper to eat. My question is, do you have to keep each hit under your tongue for a little bit before swallowing it or could I just swallow all 25 at once?

 

If this is only your second time taking acid, 250-1250 mcgs is a MASSIVE dose, even at the lower end. You should definitely sample a hit or two first to be sure that they aren't very strong. If you do end up taking 25 just know that you'll be in for a serious trip. 1250 mcgs of LSD is likely not something you're prepared for or want to even think about taking for your second time tripping.

 

10 hits if they are 50 mcg will produce a 500 mcg trip which is a heavy LSD trip, so if that's what you're looking for I'd reccommend scaling it back to that many hits for a second trip.

You can just swallow them if you want.

 

Those are good points and I've thought about it extensively. I understand that it's a large dosage and I'm not taking it lightly by any means.

My first trip was approximately 250 mcg and it was a really amazing experience. I'm assuming that they will average out to 30 mcg per hit so I'm expecting 25 hits to be around 750 mcg.

I'm taking it in a very safe environment. I've tripped on mushrooms there before. It's a house upstate with a lake and woods around. It's a great tripping setting and I'd be doing it with a very good friend of mine.

The way I see it is, I could have a bad trip regardless of the dose but to be honest I'm not too worried about a bad trip. Good trip or bad trip, I'll come out of it without regrets having learned a lot.

I guess I'll have to do some more reading and find out what trips at that dose are like before I make my final decision.

 

I'm a big advocate of massive doses of LSD. I think there's a lot to learn from it, but I would very strongly advise you to take 2 or 3 hits to start off before trying to take 25. You want to be completely certain that these are really weak. If you take 2 or 3 and you're not completely underwhelmed then you should really stick to a smaller dose. Maybe split it in half, and then you'll have acid for when you want to trip again.

 

Hey dudes! I wanna trip out on some LSA, dig? Im 18 and i dont want to wake my parents up. How in controll are you with LSA. I dont want to make them suspicious. Thanks dudes!

 

This isn't really the right place for that question, but I would say that you could probably trip on LSA without waking your parents up. Although if that's something you're worried about it could compromise your set.
