I want to try acid..

I have done shrooms many times before, but I think I'm ready for acid about now. the only thing that has stopped me is the chances of a bad hit. A friend of mine told me that his friends brother ate a bad hit, and now he has extreme paranoia. What are the chances of a bad hit? Is there any way to tell?

 

No such thing as a "bad hit". It's either acid or it isn't.

If it is acid (and the only way to tell that beforehand is to buy off someone you trust, or from a batch that a friend can vouch for), then there's always a possibility of a freakout if you're in the wrong frame of mind when you take it, or you're in a place you're not totally comfortable with. The same goes for mushrooms though, and you have experience with them so you should be fine.

Your friend's friend's brother didn't get some sort of special "bad" acid, he just had a negative reaction to it.

The worst that can happen is that you get a research chemical that might last 24 hours, or even longer, give you nausea, and maybe have a slightly less than pleasant comedown, but in terms of actual acid, just be in a positive, comfortable environment when you take it, plan ahead (set aside a good 10-12 hours or so), and you should be fine.

 

I would worry about the DOx variety as many people get that shit and refer to it as "bad acid."

 

BTW you look like Floyd from dazed and confused.

 

Just start of with one tab, that way if there's anything else on the blotter, it won't be enough to have much affect, if it's LSD, then it will have a bad affect. I read this: http://www.lycaeum.org/languages/finnish/acid/data/psychexp.html it helps heaps.

 

i always wanted to try acid too. i've done mushrooms before and all my trips were excellent except for one trip, but i wasn't in the right state of mind, or in a place where i could feel comfortable either. i've also heard bad things about acid. i've heard its way more extreme than shrooms and you have more of a chance of a bad trip. i really want to do it sometime, but i really dont want to have a bad trip, cause that shits no fun lol

 

Bad hits dude? He was either having a bad trip or what he took wasn't Lucy... I don't think it is too much possible unless there's like straight eargot on it! lol!

 

Benny is fun.

Really , its kind of like shrooms man just lasts longer and usually more potent at the 1gramvs1hit aspect.

If your hit is bitter, its a bad hit though.

LSD is tasteless.

 

If you take one hit, you will be fineeeeeee.
Ive experimented with both and ive done shrooms and cid, gone great each time except the time I had an allergic reaction to the shrooms. All it did was make my lips swell up. lol

 

i think my friend is gonna try to get me and him some acid to do sometime soon.... i'm scared though! ahh

 

ah...nothin much to be scared of if you take 1 reasonable hit.

 

well, would 2 hits be crazy for me? since I have taken shrooms lotts before? or should I stick it to 1?

 

Yeah, start of small, you can always have more later.

 

id say take 2. especially if you've done shrooms before. they are quite similar.

 

well i have heard of a "bad" hit before, not because its made you have a bad trip, becasue it was "dirty". Good acid will have little to no after effects when your done with the come down. "dirty" acid can make you feel like absolute shit and you get the feeling that something is defenetly wrong. This is what he might have ment by a "bad" hit. this is what i have found from my own personal experiences and my friends.

 

Is it possible to buy bad acid and die from the poison or some shit thats in it? I mean im sure its possible but has it happened?

 

ooooooh, so its possible to freak out on any acid. but its also possible to never freak out on any acid? did that make sense?

well, what does dirty acid mean? that its not pure or something?

 

There's no such thing as "bad" acid as such. There are many research chemicals out there that have similar effects to acid, but have nasty side-effects like nausea, stomach cramps, etc.

A lot of people perpetuate rumours of "bad" acid simply because they have bad trips, and they think acid is all sunshine and rainbows, so the acid they got must have been "bad".

Same deal for research chemicals. It wasn't until I'd tripped like 7-8 times, that I managed to pinpoint the times when I'd actually eaten a research chemical. At the time, I just assumed it was all acid, I didn't know better.

And to the person who asked if you can die from eating poison acid.. you're more likely to die from eating dodgy food than you are from eating dodgy acid. FAR more likely. If you're going to take paranoia to that sort of level, better stop eating food, drinking water, etc.

 

i dont think its a good idea to say "o well ive done this, so i can do that" when it comes to hallucinogens, i say this from experience.
acid was the first hallucinogen ive ever taken, and ive done 3 hits at once. i loved it, if i had access id prolly do it every week. so when i got me a shroom hook up i did em thinking "shit ive dropped acid, ill love shrooms..." and my first shroom trip could easily be called a 'bad trip' and i only did about a 16th. i freaked out and all... locked myself in a bathroom and tried to pull myself together, but id still say it was my favorite shroom trip cuz it was the most intense.

but ya the best advice for tripping is the most cliche` -- have the right set and setting.

 

I'm traveling to Amsterdam in a number of days and I'm very intersted in trying some acid. I've been casually trying to get my hands on some for some time now. In Amsterdam, from what I can gather the only way to really get some is from street dealers which can be pretty shady. Anyways my question is this, Is there anyway for me to tell that what I'm getting is legit just by looking at it (which i believe is unlikely) or if my olny way is to try a small dose first what should I expect, to discern between the real stuff or just some other shit they're trying to sell me?
