LSD (Help?)

so does that extend the experience slightly, noxious?

do you think it'd be noticeably stronger if you took 2 hits at once, rather than 1 hit + 1 an hour later?


once i took 1 blue shiva (supposed to be as strong as the red) + one more an hour later, and my trip wasn't nearly as strong as 1.3 red shivas.

honestly that could have had a lot to do with setting though. i was at my apt. alone (and walking in the gorgeous park) vs. at a music festival introducing my brother to tripping. i wouldn't be surprised if the red ones were a bit stronger too. that's what it made me think, even though i realize it's one experience each.

either way i'm munching the three blues i have left all at once.

 

^^ I know for sure that taking like 4 hits at once would be a LOT stronger than taking them spaced out in the same trip...

But in this case, i would agree with noxious, if he's really nervous just take one hit, and an hour in he can decide if he wants another or not.
I mean I'd probably do 2, no more. It would be a waste to be at the peak of your trip and try dropping more tho, so let's put that straight.

 

Doesn't really extend it much, just stronger of course, it still lasts the 8-12 hours which is the norm for LSD.
What I have noticed is that tripping or even smoking herb in a very familiar environment, home, friends home, etc. tends to make the experience seem less than what it is. Many times I have been kicking it at home stoned or tripping, then go to leave and go outside only to realize that I'm much higher than I originally thought.
So in your experience, did it seem as if you were higher at home or away?

Three blue shiva's will be a pretty good dose.

Have you ever gone on a completely internal psychedelic journey before pork? Ya know, alone, headphones, eyes closed, for the majority of the trip? IMHO that is when you really get an insight into just what psychedelics can be.

 

^^really? I've never smoked grass on LSD, but I heard it INCREASED the visuals and stuff, or is that still true and the insight/spiritual experience is just decreased?

And I just did my solo trip last week alone with headphones, the greatest experience and journey of my life, I'm surprised to still be learning from it!!

 

BUT, on the flip side, more often than not a low dose trip for the inexperienced can lead to anxiety and other bullshit. A good strong dose first time will often just blow past such concerns and thrust one into the realm of psychedelia beyond concerns for self and sanity. My first time trying LSD was a rather hefty dose and I felt 0 anxiety or internal drama, I was just in psychedelic euphoria.
But I will admit, I kind of see-saw back and forth between the two propositions. But if a person is really committed to seeing what the power of LSD is really all about, I say jump in the deep end with both feet and don't succumb to fear.

To the OP, just rest assured that out of many,many, tens of thousands of people who received psychedelic therapy during the 50'-60's, less than .1% had a bad experience and of those the majority upon reflection later felt it was a very benificial experience. Also set aside any concerns for physical harm. The soda you drank the other day did more damage to your body than taking a few thousand micrograms of LSD would, let alone the 100-150 mics in an average dose or two of blotter. It's safer than caffeine.

 

Yes, any substance taken in a very familiar setting will seem subjectively weaker than when taken in an unfamiliar setting. That has been my experience.

You have never smoke weed while tripping before??? DUUUDE, you have no idea, you have to try it. Some don't like it, but it ramps up the visual component 10 fold IMO. But it can also "cloud" the experience as well. But you have to try it for sure, but only take a hit or two of the herb while tripping to see how you like the effect.
Often because of time dilation and loss of cause /effect connections that often happens on LSD, I will take a hit and then it seems like an eternity passes and all of the sudden I'm hurtled into a intense amplification of effects, and have to remind myself that I took a hit or two of weed and only three minutes have passed since. Then I find myself holding the pipe for an hour forgetting that I was gonna take another hit. :sunny:

Smoking weed while tripping doesn't diminish anything as far as insight/spirituality, if anything it enhances it.
Weed and LSD go together like peanut butter and jelly, IMHO.:2thumbsup:

Man I'm still processing my first LSD experience and that was over 34 years ago.

 

^^haha Great to here!! Yeah I've got this cool buddy I hang out with, I'll probably end up doing it by the end of the month! The guy is a little insane tho.. he'll probably take like 10 hits of L and a whole bowl of MJ... Idk if it'll more fun to do them together or watch him...

so would like 5 hits of L and 2 puffs of MJ be good? Or would it be better to lower the dose of L while mixing it?

 

Sure, but I would hold off on the weed until about 90-minutes-2 hours in, then just take one-two hits and see what happens...
But you will find all kinds of different opinions about this.

 

My experience too. Many times.

This sounds like TNS undercover

My second ever voyage with lucy was indoors, dark, with old school full headphones, Pink Floyd DSOTM on full blast. The beginning of my long term hearing damage but the beginning of other things as well. :2thumbsup:

Experience a good inside psychedelic journey and one will understand why PS, Nox and others commonly say it's not all about the visuals and other minor qualities, it's the mindscape of the universe.

Back in the day when I enjoyed the ganj... I almost never had any until after the peak. A few things got ingrained in my thinking from the first experiences and the person that introduced me... I always fast (mostly) the day of, consider set and setting, and don't use anything else but lucy until after the peak, especially alcohol. I call it polluting the experience.

 

i agree with the last part a lot. i'm a major pothead. i get high first thing in the morning before work. i smoke everyday. (not the past 5 days though) but when i know i'm gonna take LSD...i make it a point to not smoke that day. or at least i try
i prefer to go into the trip unaltered. then once i'm tripping if i feel like it's not quite strong enough, or after the bulk of the peak is over, THEN i'll smoke to amp things up again.

i agree, that's why i said it could've been setting. but i did go for a walk in the park. i actually drove on that trip, i know i know, ME! my girlfriend had ran out of gas on the highway. i had JUST taken the 2nd hit. i digress....
i did actually realize while sitting at a red light and zoning out to the clouds, that i WAS tripping. i needed to be fucking careful.

but yeah, it seemed like i tripped harder at the fest, than i did at home. also it seems more intense to be sharing it with my brother.

i find solo trips (which i usually spend at my apt..actually probably every time...if i'm at a concert or something, i'm with my fiance)
*ehem* ....solo trips seem to be easier to handle.

for sure. i'm surprised you have to ask this. alzheimer's settin' in, gramps?

i like to spend a portion of most trips lying on my bed with my eyes closed and my ears open. i particularly enjoyed it on 2ce. that was the substance i got back into psychedelics with, after not tripping for a few years. it was also when i kinda "changed the way i tripped" i was my own source now, with some things and i was more serious about tripping. anyways..that's the drug where i really discovered what laying down in the dark could be like!

the "stories" that get told through the music, feel like they are JUST for me, they intertwine with the CEVs and re-enforce the story being told.

i hope that if you take 5 hits they are good enough to make you forget about weed for a few hours

 

Yeah, 5 hits should definitely make weed a little superfluous.
