embarking on first trip alone

hi everybody on holloween i will be taking acid for the first time and i will be taking it alone. this thread is for opinions on what i should do while tripping and anything else any1 wants to talk about have fun posting

 

tripping by yourself for the first time on halloween sounds like a terrible idea!

 

im not gunna go trick or treating im gunna probably stay inside and do wutevers suggested to me

 

I must say I agree with Desos. Taking any substance alone and not knowing how your mind is going to react to it could turn out to be a disaster. I know people who have had "bad" trips when with other people, so I could only imagine what could happen if you did it alone. You could completely freak out and/or hurt yourself. It would be better if you knew someone who has done such in the past, even if they don't do it with you, just so they can be there in case your mind starts to wander and starts to freak you out. They could try and calm you and snap you back to reality.

I've seen such things for myself when my friends and I used to party many years ago. Sometimes even if you do have someone there you can get so messed up that you don't recognize people etc. If you decide to do this please be careful, DO NOT go anywhere (whether walking or driving, but def DO NOT DRIVE).

In my opinion though, it's not a good idea.

 

i wont have a bad trip if i go into it thinking im gunna have a good trip and its gunna be the best nite of my life its a mind drug and if i do have a bad trip im going to lay in my bed and close my eyes and let my mind float off and eat

 

i dont think you'll necessarily have a bad trip but since its your first time it might be more fun to do it with someone, or at least be with people... idk just sitting at home for 12 hours on acid seems like it would get kinda boring.

 

lol i hear ya and i would do it wit ppl but i dont think my dads gunna let me go out bc of my grades and ya i wanna have fun so i figured why not drop a hit or 2 of cid

 

I wasn't trying to say you are going to have a bad one. You can believe you are going to have a good time, and you very well might, but it doesn't take a whole lot to turn that good time into a bad one. Again, I've seen it happen to people I know, and it would be safer if there was someone there with you that understand the substance and knows the effects.

Also, you probably won't feel like eating. The first time I ever messed with the stuff it actually made me nauseous at first. Second, if you do have visuals, sounds will normally mess with the visuals, but since you've done the research you already know that.

You asked for an opinion and I gave one. Hope you do have a good time, either way.

 

and i appreciate the opinion also like to say i understand the effects to a certain point ive been around people who are trippin ive tripped on shrooms and ive been reading alot about it from people on here its actually very interesting

 

listen to your ipod, draw, look at things, meditate, are things i do if i trip alone.

If you start having a bad trip try putting on a movie, i find that helps me out a lot.

 

thanks young dead

 

your the same guy from the psychedelics and g/f's thread. so what happened to tripping with your guy and his brother or w/e that have done acid before?

im going to go ahead and assume that you still live with your parents in a residential area, and that your parents are probably going to be home when you are tripping. first of all you don't want to be tripping even in the same house as your parents for your first trip. second off it is really best to trip for your first time with people that are already experienced with tripping, it's how i got into it -- learning from those more experienced than me. third off even if you don't go trick-or-treating since you live in a residential area there are going to be people knocking on your door every 5 minutes. do you know how hectic it could be to have to deal with trick-or-treators all dressed up asking you for candy all the time while you are tripping?! AHHH!

psychedelic experiences are about set and setting. the set being your state of mind, and the setting being the enviroment you are in. it doesn't matter how positive of a state of mind you are in -- or if you go into the trip thinking it's going to be great -- your setting still plays an equally important role. you need to have a good setting, and with all the distractions listed above i can see how it would be hard for even an experienced tripper to have a good time -- let alone someone that is tripping for their first time. even if you don't have a bad trip, you still won't fully optimize the effects that you could have gotten from the trip.

sounds... like... a terrible... idea...

 

it could work out well, but i pretty much agree with desos

being alone on your first trip is gonna be intense. i am not trying to scare you, but there is nothing you can do to prepare for it. no amount of reading trip reports or watching fear and loathing will preapre you for your personal experience let alone how to react to your perceptions.

being alone with a trip sitter, might be a little different, but you are gonna be alone alone, with the exception of your parents. i wouldn't suggest wandering around your house while tripping, not until they go to bed...and that poses a problem the sense of claustrophobia, idk i can't stand being confined to one area when i trip. freedom to move about is essential, change of scenery is as well.

i would seriously suggest reconsidering all this, but i know you THINK you have thought this through completely...but whats the harm in waiting for a more optimal situation to arise for your first trip? Sure its halloween...so why not get fucked up in other usual ways, if yuo arent gonna be out and about halloween will be no different than any other day of the year, see what i am sayin?

 

ik wut all of you are saying and my dad doesnt really care if i experiment with things he already knows im probobly doing it if i cant go out and he used to trip all the time he said he dropped atleast 200 hits alltogether and he said if i start feeling like im having a bad trip come see him also we dont get alot of trick or treaters on my road becuz of the fact that each house is like 300 yards away

 

then ask your dad for advice

if you play music, try play
if you are artistic, make art
if you are neither yet you feel compelled to do so you will not be sorry

CREATE

 

i have been but i also like hearing wut ppl have to say on here theres some interesting things

 

Just read your posts in the other thread and I still feel you are to young.
Dude if your grounded because of your grades then maybe that is a clue that your energy and focus should be on something other than getting high.
I mean just read back through your posts, thats barely English my friend.
Just because your dad did it is not a valid justification for you doing it.

I can say this because I started smoking weed when I was twelve and took PCP when I was fourteen and acid when I was sixteen. I wish NOW that I had waited until I had at least finished high school or even college. As it was I developed totally fucked up and useless study habits and barely got by in school. Dropped out in tenth grade and took the GED and started college when I was 17. Problem is I never layed the foundation of being a good and productive student when I was young, your age, so college was a struggle. Not because I couldn't understand it, actually maintained a 3.8 GPA, but my work habits and study habits were for shit. Thank god I was born from high IQ parents and mine is 130+, thats how I managed to get decent grades and GPA, but that ain't all that counts.
Good work habits are just as fucking important if not more. All I did was wing it by the seat of my pants.
I never did complete it and get a degree, and that is totally fucking killing me now years later.

You may think 30 or 40 is a long ways off, but it sneaks up on you quicker than shit.
You should be doing everything in your power NOW to secure your FUTURE.
That doesn't include getting high all the time and experimenting with new stuff.

There are studies that would indicate that smoking pot in in adolescence actually can cause damage to your brain and hormonal systems because at your age they are developing.
Are you going to grow tits? No.
Will your balls shrivel up like raisins? No, unless you use steroids.
Problem is they just don't know for sure what it does over the long term if you smoke young. It is relatively safe for adults 20-25 and older, because the nervous and endocrine systems are pretty much done developing.

Damn I sound like a grumpy old man don't I?
Well I wish I could go back and do it over, but the world don't work that way.
I'm honest with my teenage daughters, 13 & 16 about my past and I occasionally smoke and other things,.
But they both see the shit hole I'm in because when I was young I didn't plan ahead and I did a lot of partying. They have both decided that school and getting a college degree is more important than "getting high" now. They are both in advanced classes and are going to end up being the type that have colleges wooing them to attend, hopefully with scholarships because I sure as hell can't afford it, partying was to important for me when I was a kid to worry about securing my or my kids future. Now it's a bitch to find work without that degree.

Well I haven't had a rant:cuss: in the forums for about a week so you got lucky I guess. Now I need a :chillpill:.
Just throwing out some honest advice from someone who's already been where you seem to be headed.
Do with it as you see fit. And when you get to my age and trip on some substance you wont have all this shit thrown back in your face. Remember, psychedelics are harsh and unforgiving mirrors.

 

thanks for the advice and i understand what ur saying but honestly thats why im doing it for the insight part of it like when i did e it made me realize how much i love life

 

Yup, thats pretty much the way I felt about it too when I was your age.
You know, just enjoy being a kid for now. The other shit will still be there in ten years when your better able to understand it and utilize it in your life.
Remember the choices you make TODAY create your TOMORROW.

 

So you regret it?
