so i plan on taking LSD on saturday but im somewhat nervous about. im not nervous to the point where im a wreck but i cant get the butterflies out of my stomach thinking about it and im pretty sure i would be nervous while im taking it. i am going to do it with 2 of my best friends who i get nothing but good vibes from, one being a female(i dont know if that contributes) with another good friend just watching. i plan on dropping one stamp and yea..other then this, i've only done triple c, weed and rolls, but im pretty sure they dont compare. so, even if im somewhat nervous..considering those conditions, should i still be able to take it and enjoy it?
I've done lots of reasearch (I'm doing it next month), and it's not something to be afraid of. You won't go crazy forever or any of that crap. If you start tripping bad, just repeat to yourself "It's temporary. It's only a drug. It will end." Just be chill about it, or don't do it man! Read as much of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe before Sat as you can! It really helped confirm my initial want to try it. It's a non-fiction book about Ken Kesey, the guy who started the whole hippie LSD scene in the early '60's. Of course, I haven't done it, but we're in the same boat, I do suppose. Read the Erowid Vaults (google it) as well, and don't do more than 2 hits or go somewhere uncomfortable. Don't smoke any weed the first time either, especially never near the end of a trip. All the stories I've seen point to that. Good luck man, and don't worry at all!
thanks bro, i have been reading up on it a lot and i have friends who have done it before and currently do it, from what i heard one stamp is shit and you wont get any hallucinations out of it, just colors, movement of still objects, enriched sounds etc. so can anyone expirienced tell me what to do?
Remember set and setting: Do whatever you can beforehand to put yourself in a good mood, take a long bath, meditate, bike, watch a funny tv show, whatever. And try and continue to do things you like after you take it. Make sure you do it in a situation where you feel safe and secure, with people you trust (VERY IMPORTANT) and where you do not have to hide the fact that you have taken a drug. If you get introspective it may help to have a place you can go sit alone and think by yourself without interference. Also keep in mind that the effects may start in half an hour or two hours, different people react differently. They will persist for upwards of eight to twelve hours so set aside that amount of time just to stay safe. DO NOT DRIVE or let anyone else under the influence drive. Just prepare and keep a good mindset and you should have no problems at all. Think of it like a rollercoaster, once you get on you have to ride it to the end, may as well enjoy it but if you don't keep in mind that it will end and you will return to where you started.
Telling your self "it is only temporary" only works for light tripping, If you ever truly go out of your mind then that will be useless, But that would be like 10 hits or so. Best things is to let the trip control you, if you try to control it you'll end up having a bad time. Don't be afraid to look like a fool. Talk back to that tree if it talks to you ect ect. J.C
thanks a lot guys..im pretty determined, and i will have a good set and setting knowing im with my friends, plus it isnt a large dose... one more question? would any of you recommend half a dose instead of a full one? or does it matter? i dont want a weak trip either..not that one dose is strong
would any of you recommend half a dose instead of a full one? When you waste a dose taking a half and you are 1 hour in the trip and wish it was only a bit more intense.. you'd regret such an act. And if your towns acid aint known for being that intense on a hit i'd be a little extra if i were you. Aslong as you remember everything you are seeing / thinking / feeling is a product of your own imagination you should be fine. (Something similar recommended from Timothy Leary)
People realize they have been feeling bad and nervous all their lives for no reason. cThe way you feel is completely up to you. LSD tends to teach people how to control their feelings and emotions. It will help you see that feeling nervous is killing you and it is all completely up to you. You can feel however you want. Once you feel that amazing pure content with yourself for the first time, you will never want to choose to go back to feeling bad again. You can control it.
Translate nervousness and anxiousness into excitement. Like it's Christmas Eve and you've been waiting months to open that one awesome present under the tree that you already figured out what it was, but just had to wait and wait and now you can't wait any longer.
hmmm idk vato, i think you should hit up the everglades and get mad crunk. and the good vibes? they provide the good trip
There is a big difference with feeling nervous and feeling excited. I would say you are feeling excited that feeling of something that you don't know coming to you. Swallow it and continue chatting with your friends and doing what you'll normaly do when you get together. If you get trapped in mind games try to shut up your mind and leave those subjects aside. Don't try to make sense out of everything. Just simply be and let Lucy guide you. Don't waste lsd by doing half tab ever. Whatever comes your way is welcome. And tomorrow you'll be your normal self and than you can use your mind again and see what you went through.
hmm i havent heard anythin about that, but now that you mention it, last time i took acid me and my friends smoked cone after cone at the end of the trip, well about 6 hours i think, and it was just fucked. we kept pushing ourselves to do more and more in the name of scientific research. and we tripped harder than we tripped in the peak. but i dont think id do it again. it was fucked, wasnt exactly pleasent. id love to hear some other peoples experiences with smoking weed while trippin, either during the peak or towards the end.
umm,, i dont think so. it might be a good idea to put off smoking weed until you have reached the peak. wait till you see how high you are going to get off of the L before you think about getting even higher with weed.(best if you wait at least 4 hours.)... i smoke weed before i trip then i usually wait until the peak to smoke more (usually i roll up some joints before the trip because it is very difficult to roll up a joint on 4 hits of L =-)... i would never recommend avoiding weed all together - weed is great for a trip especially near the end!
it is very natural to be a little or even a lot nervous. as long as you are not afraid you will be fine. even if you do have some fear you will be fine. dont worry about it and have a great experience. make sure you do your research first. LSD is very powerful and if one is not prepared they could wind up having a very difficult experience. whatever you do dont get stuck in that "i want it to end" trip or your doomed. once you put that hit in your mouth there is no turning back so you might as well enjoy the ride. if you fight it or wish it was over you will only make matters worse.
Butterflies in your tummy will happen, even after tripping many times i get it just thinking about LSD! Its just soooo exciting!! Its an apsolutely mind-blowing experience. Just remember, keep it chilled out with some music you really enjoy and with people you know well and trust. With regards to smoking weed, what i like to do is to have a few splifs while waiting for it to kick in then go for a crazy ride and maybe after peaking atempt to roll one but its a difficult task sometimes. It just takes time to get your mind around it. Good luck... Make sure you tell us how it was
Weed all depends. If you smoke several times a day and only get high the first time you smoke in a day, I would recomend smoking during the beginning of a small-medium dosed acid trip. If you smoke once a day or less, I would recomend smoing anytime you want to increase the feeling. When I was smoking all day, I tried smoking during a heavy acid trip all the way through. After the peak of the trip, I began to shake when I grabbed the bong. I could no longer carry that load without convulsing so I almost dropped it but my trembling hand struggled over to the table to set it down. I was trembling so hard that the bong almost shattered just from trying to set it down. After I set it down I fell to the ground and looked up. I saw a satanic figure standing over me laughing as if to say "you are under my control, you are completely addicted to this drug" Ju7st my story.
