doesn't matter.

enjoy it!

 

Apples and oranges.

Let me put it this way . . . Of the two, I prefer acid, but I find shrooms to be a thousand times more intense. But I don't like acid more because its "less intense than shrooms".

two totally different things, only their most basic skeleton has similarities.

 

Okay, I think just one more question.... Is it safe at all to do by yourself for the first time? It will be harder for me to find friends to do it with than to get the acid itself. If I take just one hit of acid, will I be fine by myself? I am not scared in any way of the drug and rather looking forward to it by all means so I think it will be a good trip.

 

Hey everyone.

I have never done any drugs. I used to have a big interest in marijuana but was too lazy to fetch some. A lot of my friends did pot because all of their friends did it too. I had some of friends who used to smoke it convince me it was a huge waste of time. That's all besides the point though. I've always had an intense interest in LSD. A lot of my friends who smoked pot said they were afraid of the possibility of flashbacks. I ask my drug dealer friend I've known since 1st grade if he could sell me some acid. He only sold full sheets and microdots (which I've read were majorly ineffective). Now I'm having my neighbor, who I've also known for years, get me some. This time a few tabs.
1. I am seeking a full-on trip for my first time. Will 2 tabs do the trick? If so, I guess I should buy 4 for my other friend who wishes to join me.
2. Is noisy dissonant progressive music advisable? Can haunting or mysterious (dissonant) music cause a bad or frightening trip? I want to listen to avant-garde classical music, but not I'll pop in Radiohead's Kid A. I want the music to lead the trip.
3. Crap.. I knew there was a third queston. I'll get back to you on that. ;p
Thanks

 

ehh haunting mysterious classical music doesn't seem like it matches the quality of lsd. radiohead might not be so bad. get two hits. that should be plenty. if you need more then the acid is weak or bunk. but going into the trip try to clear your expectations about what your trip will be like, and just relax and enjoy your day(or night).

 

you'll be fine. but you might want to be careful about always doing acid by yourself. it'd be better to have people to trip with. so that you don't become too antisocial, and can learn and grow from your relationships.

 

I've never tripped on LSD completely alone the whole time. O_O it's srs bsns

i totally wanna do a couple of shivas at the river alone one day though

shits gonna get real

 

Hey, I'm new here to I'll start of with a hello!

Anyway, I've smoked quite a bit of bud/pot and really enjoyed the experience of just being high, letting myself go and feeling the wind and noticing subtle things I would never usually notice when I'm pretty high - so would LSD be for me? I'm really intrigued by the drug, and after reading some stories, would love to be englightened and just look into myself and my life, see what I can find out. I'm not particularly afraid, a little nervous about it (then again everyone probably gets that their first time), and I'm not too afraid of a bad trip. In fact, I wouldn't mind a bad trip, because I feel it's some way of connecting with yourself - your soul's trying to tell you something. Anyway, I think acid found me, I was thinking about doing it and asked my friend about it, and later on he said he could easily get some for free - it just happened like that, pretty much out of the blue.

I'm basically on this question to find out whether my set and setting will be right: I'll either be with a couple really good close friends, or on my own. I'll either be at a friends house or at my own, just relaxing and lying there chilled. Is this ok? Also, will lets say half a dose/half a tab be ok for a mild trip to start? I don't want a full-blown trip right now, just something to show me what it can be like! Sorry for the long post, but help will be appreciated

 

I'm getting 2 hits for myself and 2 hits of blotter for my friend in a couple days. Would it be obvious that we are tripping to sober people? Like if we didn't want to get caught doing that stuff would we be able to recognize that we need to act sober?

 

not if they were drunk...

 

Yeah half a tab will be perfect for a first time, though if it's really strong like the Shivas even half a tab will be quite an experience. You sound ready for this journey, I wish you good travels. Remember:

1. yes, it's real.

2. no, it's not real

3. it ends in a few hours

4. all the rules still apply (fire hot)

5. you're not going crazy or dying or being chased by a lion. unless you're tripping in the african savannah. in which case I salute you sir.

It depends on the quality of the hits, but last time I took 2 hits (hofmanns) I had to sign for some food delivery. Oh my goodness. My pupils were bigger than my face, my face was FLUSHED red, I was sweating, wild-eyed, didn't understand how a pen and paper worked, didn't understand the concept of a tip, couldn't look him in the face because he looked like



...etc. So it really depends man. I would not do acid your first time in a public setting unless its a public setting of drug use like a festival, and even then, I would highly highly recommend indoors, with a good friend, with music, things to do, lots of pot and booze if you like that.

LSD can be extremely difficult. It is the *ultimate* psychedelic in every way. Get to know her before you dive into 2 hits at the theme park or something.

 

Hah. I like your illustration. I am planning on doing it indoors but I hope that my parents don't come home earlier than they should and find my friend and I fucked up. All I plan on doing it in my dimmed room with a lava lamp and some psychedelic/alternative/classical music playing. I might make my way outside and look at the stars.

My favorite keyboard player (Dave Stewart) said that on one of his trips he could crawl into each note of the symphony he was listening to. This sort of thing has always interested me, but as many have said, I'm not going to expect feelings like this.

I need someone else's opinion on this. Can unstable/dissonant music lead to a bad trip? Or should I keep the music happy and mellow? I really want to listen to Olivier Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony while tripping.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a35DH9tKjZI"]YouTube- Messiaen: Turangalila-Symphonie Mvt. 1

I don't want to do LSD to find inspiration for my own compositions. I believe we can all make perfect music without drugs.. but I want to give the music I listen to deeper meaning. You only live once. Gosh I'm excited

 

In a word, NO. The content and direction a psychedelic experience takes is based on YOU. It comes from within. If you are prone to such feelings, maybe the music could trigger those in you. Classical music is some of the best possible too listen to with Lucy.
Don't worry about such trivial shit or you will plant the idea in your head and make it more likely. Plus if it starts to take you to a place you aren't comfortable with, just change the music or turn it off all together.

LSD can be very forgiving in the sense that changing your surroundings, music, lighting, etc. can completely change the mood of the experience. You are in control of those elements, not the chemical you ingest.
Even if it does take you into a "darker" place, is that really a terrible deal breaker? Just go with it and know that it will end, you ingested a chemical substance who's effects will subside. Often the best way to deal with uncomfortable emotions during a psychedelic experience is to accept it, confront it, and make peace with it. Trying to ignore or deny them is sure to lead to an unpleasant time.
If it is a piece of music you already enjoy greatly as it would appear, I think you will be fine.

But you can always turn the music off.

Check back in after re-entry and let us know how it went

 

I am familiar with the music and find the dissonance to be very beautiful. Thank you for the quick response. I'll be sure to tell you how things went. I'm not sure about my friend, though. So I might just put on Radiohead to keep us comfortable.

 

The mood of the music will be amplified and extended across many contexts and levels of meaning. If you listen to peaceful, happy music, like a long Shankar raga or something, your trip will be guided towards a peaceful and happy place through this data in your world. If you listen to jarring, discordant music full of tension and fear, it will illicit some of this in your LSD world. The trip takes its content from who you are and from your reality; ie, the visual sights you have in front of you in the real world will influence the visuals you get from LSD heavily. Ditto for music. I recommend trying out whatever music you want, but having as a backup something to help calm your mood, especially for your first time.

For a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL, organic, orgasmic piece that is a wonderful mix of the entire spectrum of human emotion and expression . . . I recommend Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. It is my favorite piece to listen to on LSD. Or any Rachmaninov Piano Concerto :drool5:

 

Hah. I love Stravinsky but I've never understood The Firebird Suite. The Rite of Spring is my favorite piece of classical music besides Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony (which I posted the first movement to).

 

Not my first time with L but I didn't feel it was necessary to make a thread. Dosed up around 6 times, all great experiences, but about 3 of those times I got a strange cramp in the left side of my stomache. It would make it hard to get comfortable. Other times I would feel great and would wanna get up and exlpore outside, go for walks and whatever. Then the times with the cramps I would look for a comfy position for ever and just be able to sit and drool on myself.

Thought it might be from anxiety, being hungry, something I ate prior.??? Maybe even gas, once I felt if I could just fart it out but that never happened.

There's a good chance Ima come across some acid this weekend and hopin for no strangness in my belly. Any ideas of what's causing it or possibilities of preventing it?

 

I have never done any kind of psychedelic drug before... only getting drunk and doing weed, however, I want to do something big with my best buds before going to college.

My sister, My step brother, 2 of my best friends and my sisters best friend will all be doing molly.
I wanted to do something that involved some hallucinations and just being able to see weird things like bright colors.. patterns etc.

I have 2 hits available but some of my other good buddies told me I shouldn't do acid because I have never done anything of the psychedelic nature before.

I plan on starting the night with some fantasia and since I will be around people i love and trust, I figure this would be the perfect environment for dropping.

Do you guys think I should stick to doing molly or would I be ok doing 1 or 2 hits of Cid?

I really need some good advice. We plan on having my sisters best friend who has done pretty much every drug under the sun and she will be watching us closely and taking care of us all. It is going down this upcoming friday.

 

Some people don't consider Molly truly psychedelic.
You don't really trip on molly.

That does sound like the perfect environment...I'd say go for LSD if it's available.

(Others disagree, I'm sure.)

 

See the main thing I want to find in what I am going to do is seeing things, which is why I decided to try LSD... because with Molly its just like a huge pleasure ride.
That pleasure ride sounds amazing and all but I want to see things like different colors, patterns, experience a bit of hallucinations etc. etc.

My other friends that won't be there were trying to tell me that my mind wasn't ready for the trip and that I would end up in a hospital because I wouldn't be able to handle the things I would see but I have been doing research and I think I am as prepared as I can get without actually trying the drug.
