How much can you stay in control during an acid trip?

Hey,

I'm going to try LSD for the first time in a few days. I haven't done any drugs yet - I'm rather into meditation and would like to further expand my consciousness with the help of psychedelics.
I'm planning to take half a tab at first and then the other half if the effect isn't strong enough wihtin an hour. What I'd like to know the most is how much will I be able to stay in control during the peak of the trip? Will I be able to walk around the house or change the music, for example?
I'm going to be staying at my boyfriend's house, with him around, but in a different room most of the time, so that I can reach deeper into myself, hopefully, while writing and drawing.... Is it enough for him to check on me once or twice an hour, or would it be safer if he was next to me all the time?
Thank you so much in advance if you take the time to reply.

You should be able to function on a tab, you will likely have a strong grasp on consensual reality at that dose but your emotions May fluctuate and thoughts flow in a novel way.

 

I would expect that there will be a time not long after it first hits when you might want to keep your eyes closed and not want to move. This will probably only last about an hour, it varies, and then you will be able to do some things that don't involve sharp edges and heavy machinery.

 

I used to be the master of control.
Trip balls at the supper table with my parents, control.

Those were the days.
Today, I wouldn't waste a trip by having to be in a situation that requires pretending to be sober. But control is purely a mind over matter issue.

 

Just remember....you're always in control. You aren't going to lose control and fuck your dog or something.

Here's a few pointers.....be around people who make you laugh and love life, be somewhere you feel safe and can stay at for a while, however much weed you usually smoke...have 2 or 3 times as much on hand....just in case, focus on positive things and if it starts to get you uptight....it's just the acid. Nothing is wrong. If it gets a little intense...just remind yourself it's the awesomeness setting it. And just because you aren't happy with the effects after an hour doesn't mean you aren't going to be tripping pretty hard 2 hours later.

Good luck! Have fun!

 

sometimes the best way to stay in control is to let go of what control you think you have

 

as much as you don't want to.

one hit probably isn't going to incapacitate you. you'll be able to walk around even during the peak, most likely. but it may be difficult to do normal stuff like press play on your itunes or whatever. technology may become incomprehensible.

you won't lose control like think you can fly and jump out your window. but you might lose control and not be able to stop laughing at nothing.

 

you must first loose control in order to get control

 

It will take a hour to start feeling anything, I suggest waiting 2 hours before starting to think about taking more. Also if it was me i would be focussing on your boyfriend coming in the room and distracting with your concentration/meditation every 30 mins. You will be fine. If you need him you go to him, not him checking up on you.

If you can actually meditate well that will help since you will have had practise at being non-attached to machinations of mind.

 

You'll be fine. Id eat the whole tab at once if I was you. I've NEVER dropped one tab and not been able to function (walk around, talk, ect.) Yes sometimes technology does get hard on pychs, have a playlist ready of some good tunes you enjoy. As for your boyfriend, why not have him join you on your journey?
