I've heard rumors that saying if you expect too much from your acid, that most of the hallucinations won't appear or the acid won't ''work with your mind''. I heard some people say it's true, and heard some people say it's total bullshit. I'm an experienced LSD user myself, yet I still haven't solved this riddle. Any answers or suggestions?
if you take a high enough dose, it's bullshit. if you take one or two hits of weaker L, then you might be disappointed if you expected to see pink elephants dancing around. it's best to expect and plan for very little to nothing. just sit back, try to forget you dropped, and see what happens... but it's not like thinking "wow i'm about to trip really hard" is gonna cancel out your acid and make you not trip. real acid will make you trip, regardless
I always wondered how you "forget you dropped acid." "Wow, this room is really melting, oh shit, Eric's face is melting. Okay. Oh, wait, did I take LSD?" Like, really how do you forget...? Hell I'd love to, and to actually believe the shit that's happening is real but I am also curious about this thread about buzzkills and LSD. I for one HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE when some dumb motherfucker tells me how AMAZING the LSD is before I've clearly already made the decision to purchase. If it was that amazing, wouldn't you want people to be taken by surprise? That's half the fun.
i have had people that wouldn't accept they tripped. they would be talking about all the visuals and the feelings during and then afterwards they'd be like man that shit didn't work. i guess its all about accepting and understanding the feeling.
ah yes.....the power of HUMAN MIND. its pretty crazy. the mind is a terrible thing to waste, but an incredible thing to explore.
I'd say expect nothing so you're happy with whatever you end up getting from the experience. And if you would like to take it further, you do more
Forget you dropped is a bad idea. The memory that you took a drug will help you keep your bearings and not over react to dissociative states. Remember that until you have the experience, any speculation about what it may be like, is totally devoid of any authority, and may psych you out in unhelpful ways.
HOW IN THE WORLD do you just forget something you did minutes ago? More importantly, HOW do you forget you took LSD when you're TRIPPIN' ON LSD? I've gotta be reading something wrong...
Sometimes it can be hard to remember that you dropped. There's those clarity trips, and then there's lessons.
You gotta understand what a heavy dose can do to your everyday mentality, by first remembering how amazing your mind is and what it does for you. Then, take into consideration you are doing a drug which alters everything about it, in every way. Your personal identity can evaporate right before your eyes, along with your agenda. Then, you're just tripping balls, not a sober person speculating on subjective effects, you are the effects, there is no outside of it at that moment, which can make it hard to realize that you had intentionally ingested something maybe hours before which changed the scope of your entire reality. Shit happens.
I can't forget I just took acid 40 minutes ago, but I try to focus on something else while it kicks in. Talk to a friend about something, I don't know. If it's good acid, trust me, it's going to hit you nicely. Usually you expect certain things to happen and they don't...but they're replaced with totally different experiences.
Yeah agreed. I don't think I've ever been to the point where I dont' know who I am, and it's not just me and mind observing each other/itself. Only done 2-3 hits though, and I really do think out here in Minnesota, we don't exactly get 1st class drugs in general here first (though our nug is good but pricey), so I'm kind at the mercy of whatever makes its way here. Think I'm trippin within the next 3-4 weeks, though looking forward to it.
Hope you have fun on your next trip man. Ego loss is great. There was this one time I dropped two tabs and it reallly fucked me up. So I get on the computer, turn on my webcam and fuck, I didn't know if I was over there (on screen.), or over here. Didn't know which one was me. What a weird feeling. Try music too, if you really get into a song and the visuals start popping out...you kind of forget about your surroundings and enter this altered state of mind I can't really describe.
That happens in all life, but its when you hanker for something in a certain way and you won't let go. Life is uncertain, and you shouldn't have expectations about it, just let it flow, everything will work its way out. The same goes for the trip, if you hankering for some feeling, expecting some kind of grand phenomenon that you are painting with your mind, then it will fail to deliver that experience to you. The hankering, the desire, the expectation are all mind things, and the trip wants you to go beyond mind. Its going to show you many of things, just let it flow, in the end it will all be spectacular. Just go with the moment, moment by moment, and understand. Then the unfolding can happen, it can't unfold if your tied to something, the energy must be free for the experience to unravel. My first trip I had no expectations what so ever, and I had this unbelievable feeling of connection, and this unbelievable orgasm of bliss occurred. On the next two trips though I was tied to reliving that experience, and I kept waiting and waiting but nothing ever happened, and I practically wasted my trip. Then on the forth trip, I had realized I must let go, and then a new incredible experience came over me.
Letting go, with the purpose of trying to recreate a potent trip sounds like a round-a-bout way of the same thing. Kinda like "trying" not to think. Perhaps maybe one needs to completely convince oneself that they are okay with a mediocre trip, and that's probably the best hey can do. Or just get good stuff and take a fuckload. That always gets results.
best way to take acid is to eat it and forget you ate it. go about your day. pretend its bunk. nothing to see here folks. That's right, but the boiling water is no longer in the pot, so the pot looses temperature. pot = bladder. Water/urine is much better at holding warmth than air is, so an empty bladder will, by simple thermodynamics, be cooler than a full bladder.
That makes an incredible amount of sense. Every time I had a date with lucy, I was always disturbed by tv, computers, my brother playing videogames in the other room, etc. Maybe I just need to relax and go with the flow?
