First time on acid?

Well i'm supposed to do acid with my friend as soon as he gets the lsd. Hes buying $15 for a hit. The two things im scared of is getting caught and having a bad trip. We were thinking of going to this place near a golf course with a lot of trees. But when we are on it do we know what were doing? How long will it last?
I'm 5'6 140 Pounds. Any tips? thanks

 

Yes you will know what you are doing. A acid trip is not how the media portrays it. You will not think you can fly while being in another dimension. It's more like you see the world in a new way. If you were to take a high dose like several hits the world could melt away a bit more, but even then it's not as you see on TV. The best way to avoid a bad trip is to know you are tripping. As in don't dose someone without their consent or knowledge. I have known people to do this as a joke. Second be in a good state of mind in a place you feel safe. Your body proportions do not matter as much with acid as with other drugs. You can expect the experience to last 10-12 hours, maybe more if the dose was more then a few hits.

 

Thanks this helps a lot. I was thinking about taking half and if that wasnt enough, i would take a the other half. Do you think that would be good?

 

i'd say take a full hit, if not two. not more though. don't redose- just take what you're going to take

also, bear this in mind: it's not like going to smoke a bowl, where you're going to hang out for an hour or two and be done with it

i say that becuase i dropped for the first time at a friends house on a half day in high school, and found myself walking home several hours later while still peaking

in the interest of planning, pay attention to the time frame unfocusedanakin gave you- 9-10+ hours is what you're looking at. give yourself that much time, and plan for having things to do/not having to deal with taking care of shit (going home to talk to people you may not want to talk to while tripping, sleeping, etc). if you're gonna be in the woods, bring lots of music, things to play with, etc. or have a place you can go, you know?

i stress that, because tripping and then stressing about getting caught or having to take care of obligations is the best way to have a bad time, so be aware of giving yourself the necessary freedom to do this. i've made that mistake before, and it's no fun

 

so im thinking of taking it on our way to the woods place which will be like 15 minute walk. Then stay there for a couple of hours and coming home to his house and staying in his room.

 

does he live with his parents/if so, will they be home?

 

His parents are usually home and when ever we come inside his house. We just say hi and go in his room. And they rarely come to the door

 

This is a really horrible idea.

Remember how he said, this is NOT LIKE POT? At all.

Just trust it for now, you do not want to be in any position of even maybe having to interact with someone who can't know you're tripping, especially for your first trip.

You also don't want to be around people who fuck with intoxicated people.

 

Why? or like how i dont know what to do. It's my first time

 

yeah gotta agree... you're already worried about getting caught

that's the worst way to get yourselves into a bad trip

i say you should wait until you have enough time/free space where you can hang somewhere without being constrained

physical constraints like this will turn into mental constraints

edit: the lack of freedom to be loud, having to watch yourself and your behavior around his parents, the paranoia of being caught... that's a lot of pressure, man. and the intensity of emotions on acid will make it unbearable, you will be uncomfortable at best, freaking out most likely. it just isn't a good idea

 

So should we just like stay outside?

 

And as it relates to this: OP wants to avoid a bad trip.

You need to go on erowid.org, and read some.

Set and setting are the things that determine your trip. That is a disasterous setting, and will lead to a sketchy set, before things even begin.

No, you should not just decide to stay outside, you need to have a situation where you can be outside, but you also need a comfortable place to go, things to do (NO, not video games or movies, but music is great. And NO, not pop or anything violent). Remember this is a 12 hour thing, you need to be properly prepared for that. And you need to have somewhere that you can be loud and do what you want, trying to "control" a trip will lead to a worthless trip at best, and a terrifying trip at medium, and lets not talk about at worst.

This is not just weed on paper, this is a big fucking deal. Not to say you should be obsessing about what a big deal it is, relaxation is key, but so is respect. If you don't have a situation where you can carefully and respectfully take acid, save the acid.


Also, given your apparent age/maturity, and the current market climate, it seems pretty likely this is not real LSD.

 

if you want me to be honest, i think you should avoid doing what i did, and a lot of young (no offense, you sound young) people tend to do

don't rush it

you're doing the right thing by asking questions, keep doing what you're doing

what roorshack suggested is good too: erowid it. read, read, and read

don't just hang around outside with no plans. make a lot of options for yourself (have many places to go, but don't limit yourself, you know?), none of which should include interacting with any people that make you feel sketchy, or who you wouldn't be comfortable knowing that you're tripping

i say to avoid parents for your first trip for the same reason i would tell you to not go to a fancy restaurant- you're not going to feel comfortable having to compose yourself. if you want to for fun, that's a different story. but when it comes to danger, that's just going to fuck with your head

what are your hobbies? do you paint, play music? what kinds of things do you enjoy sober that maybe you could experiment with away from people that you could do? what's the weather like where you live? are you going to be stuck out in the cold? do you have other friends you're comfortable with seeing, maybe another house you could hang out at that's safer?

just throwing ideas out here

 

erowid says 6-11 hours. How come you say 12?

 

erowid isn't exact, just give yourself 12 hours to be safe... hell, you might be sober in 6 hours according to that, but better safe than sorry, no?

pay more attention to experiences and what they say about set and setting... that's really what we're trying to tell you here

 

i live in florida, im not worried about cold. I may be able to find someones house but i doubt it. We were going to make a playlist for good music, slow. Pink Floyd, The Beatles, some like coldplay, sort of relaxed stuff.

 

His friend that were getting it from said it last 5 to 10 hours and he has done it a lot.

 

If weather is good then stay outside the whole time. Definitetly do not go anywhere near your friend's parents or any kind of authority figure. I would recommend staying away from the public in general. LSD makes pot look like advil. Also there is a VERY HIGH CHANCE that what your friend is buying is not LSD, but something else. Very high chance. Just so you know, these "something elses" going around (DOx, NBOME) can last much longer than LSD, and be much harder on the body and brain. You really need to respect this experience and give yourself a safe place all day for it. Do not mix with any other drugs other than marijuana. Don't drink alcohol. Bring lots of water and be prepared for inclement weather as well.

 

he didn't say its exactly 12 hours he said give yourself 12 hours TO BE SAFE. Look just save it for a time when you're completely alone and have all day, from the sound of it this seems like a really bad situation to try and have your first acid trip.

 

I found this huge place right now thats a big plain but no trees. I also found another big plane place with some trees. Which one should i pick
