preperations for first time

this weekend i will be havin my first trip more than likely. i have 2 trip sitters coming over who i am very comfortable with. i have several questions:

how many hits should i take i can get up to 5 of decently potent stuff and i was considering only taking half a hit at first. what do you think

(dumb question)should i be worried about going insane? i realize i should be going into it ready and i am its just im a little bit nervous

should i have any weed with it. do you prefer it with or without weed

how long do your trips generally last

 

Just by that, you don't sound ready

Keep smoking weed for at least a month longer
You will probably be too nervous and paranoid if you try it now

Once you are comfortable with all the effects of acid; know the drug well try it

Do 1 hit, or 1/2 if it is very potent
I suggest don't smoke weed until you are past your peak

You will realize that acid is like an inversion of weed, acid is a smart drug
Don't get me wrong, you will start to trip but you won't get all the visuals first
Probably after you realize that acid is like the dimension that holds all dimensions you will start to play with this new type of high

 

i mean i have done alot of research and stuff like.... if i happened to be bipolar or schizophrenic would lsd cause it to get worse. i'm prolly not bipolar or schizophrenic but i have panic attacks sometimes and i get deppression bad occasionally

 

another question

on wikipedia it says that on several occasions people who were normal prior to taking lsd had gone insane. is this true? do you know of any cases where this has happened

 

Yes, LSD can bring out underlying or unknown mental illnesses. This is in the only way shape or form you could 'become insane'. If you are going to drop acid with the idea that you could possibly go insane in the back of your mind you could be asking for a bad trip and yeah, you will think your going insane but you aren't. No one has just randomly 'gone insane' from acid. That is ridiculous. Wiki is a great site but it is all user submitted. Try researching on Erowid.com. I wouldn't be worried about it. If your not suffering from a severe anxiety disorder and have to be on medication for it you will be fine. As far as dose... don't take 1/2 a hit. That is a waste. If your going to put the time, effort, and money into acid go ahead and drop a whole hit. Ride the experience for all it's worth. That is the whole point, right? Just let go of your worries and try it. You will not regret it. Also, I wouldn't smoke pot with it. Acid is great enough on it's own.

 

Also, a standard trip can last anywhere between 6-11 hours. It all depends on dose.

 

my first time i took 2 hits of some potent stuff and we had weed but we hardly smoked any, but my second t ime we only had a g of dank and we wished we would have had all the weed in the world it really depends on the trip if you want to smoke or not

 

I would buy all 5 and start with one. If that isn't enough then you can try 2 the next time. If you don't feel anything off of 2 then you probably have REALLY weak or inactive tabs. Whenever I come across a tab I haven't taken I will usually buy a 10 strip because I always start with 1 no matter what. You can never really know how potent it is going to be.

 

should you be worried about going insane? son the whole point of acid is to go insane. while you are tripping you will literally feel yourself go crazy, but its a fun ride, and nothing to be scared about.

after the first time i fried i realized, people who are deemed "crazy" or "insane" are usually normal people, and those who are labeled normal are really crazy. because people go crazy trying to be normal or trying to fit in with society. they lose themselves in the process. but anyways, if you're scared of insanity, then dont trip. wait until you're ready to handle the process of going "crazy".

and dont smoke weed until the end. trust me.

also, i have always wanted to play the piano while on a trip, do you think i will be able bodied enough to play

 

Not for the first few hours. I wouldn't be anyway. But a trip can last up to 12 hours, you have time to do a lot of things.

 

awesome. i cant wait!

 

this may sound bitter....but goddamn am i so sick of these threads.

 

I say acid is not for you. then again you have trip sitters, so what the hell. Roll the dice with your mental health if you like.

 

do shrooms have the same potential to cause insanity that lsd does

 

Dont believe EVERYTHING wikipeda says. They love to put bullshit on their articles. They are too sceptical. Try with Erowid. Piano and lsd? that sounds grat!!

 

ANY Psychedelic can bring out hidden mental illnesses.

 

let me know how it goes.

 

do you think that any exposure to psychedelics would do that or would it start at certain dose, taking into account the potency

 

Dude... You will be fine. Just do it and you will see it's not as... what is the word I am looking for here... 'Dangerous?' as your making it out to be. You will either love it or hate it but you will not go insane from it and I am certain it won't potentiate a mental illness in you. I mean i'm sure it happens but come on... most people know wether or not something is wrong with them and I am sure it's a rare occurance. Just about as likely as you smoking weed and getting super mad munchies and eating too much junk food resulting is a massive heart attack on the spot.
