Questions on LSD

someone who is not me is planning on taking LSD for the first time in his life sometime this week. This person claims to have done his research however i thought it would be best to ask people who actually know to make sure he knows what hes in for.

firstly, what is there to expect on your first go if your having 1-2 tabs? is this a suitable amount to be taking for a first time? should he have them all at once or spaced over a period of time, and how long will the trip be off the hits?

secondly, what time of day is best to have it? - I ask this because he is really worried about having a bad trip and he claims to of heard that time can change your trip??

also, what would you say the best place to take LSD would be? he can have it in mine or theres a wide open field about a 10 minute walk away, would it be worth for him having it there to stay clear of any people?

thanks alot, feel free to tell me about past trip experiences and your first goes of LSD!!

ALSO!- can acid change your personality or the way your interpret certain things in your life? i know it can have lasting spriritual effects but can these effects be the same with other things in life..

 

So this person who is not you should only take one hit, if its ur first time and your feeling a bit anxious go with one hit.

also, if your feeling a little insecure you can drop during the day and hang around at a park,, just take a pair of sunglasses with you.

just go into the trip expecting to learn something, and remember that no matter what happens (what you see, feel, hear or think) its all part of that learning experience and IT WILL END. trust me

oh and HAVE FUN!

 

thanks for the advise, ive heard of storys that people have become blind from staring at the sun so already have told my mate to wear sunglasses!

whats the trip like if you know?

 

^^pretty much agree with her. the worst thing u can do is worry about not ever coming down. on a few intense trips i've worried that i might be stuck that way...but u ALWAYS come down

1-2 hits is good for a first timer. i personally took one hit and had an amazing trip. seems like people are often underwhelmed with just one hit though - it all GREATLY depends on potency. i started my brother with 1/2 a hit, but they were probably the most potent ones i've ever had.

i'd take 2 hits, unless who you're getting from says they are super good and u should only take one.

whatever u do, take all your hits at once! don't space them out, as u develop a tolerance very rapidly it's sort of a waste of LSD.

u should plan on the trip lasting 12 hours or more. try not to have important shit to do the next day. definitely not for later the same night
i like to dose in the afternoon or early evening, so that part of the trip is in the daytime, part at night, and that way i'm not up TOO late.

u will be significantly altered if u have a decent dose of LSD. u may not feel comfortable around sober people. u may laugh uncontrollably. even if u don't LOOK high, u will feel like u MUST look it, because u feel so crazy

nature is the best spot for tripping IMO. going to that field and alternating between that and time in ur room with music, is a good setting. time of day doesn't have much to do with having a "bad trip,"
SET and SETTING do.

steering clear of people, especially authority figures, is a great idea. at best they will probably make u very nervous.

 

c'mon. r u serious? this is a myth. LSD does not turn u into a complete moron. so unless ur dumb enough to stare at the sun 'til ur BLIND while sober, u probably won't do that while on LSD.
u won't turn into a glass of OJ either

the trip is nothing what u think it is. read some trip reports for lengthy descriptions. i've posted several

 

LSD does a lot of things, but it wouldn't make you that incredibly stupid.

 

haha theres some strange myths out there i must say, and yerr ive heard about the OJ one.. but im just trying to get as much advice in as i can for my mate, and theres some bery strange trip reports out on the net and yet there seem some not so strange but very spiritual ones aswell, however much appreciate all the replys! thanks alot!

 

have fun, be safe

 

i should fucking hope not aswell! but like i just said, theres some weird storys out there and me nor my mate does not know what to expect for him

 

thanks man, al tell him about it

 

I'd take both.

I've taken one hit twice in my life. Both times where unremarkable. No real visual activity. I mean, it will give you a great day, but.... Unless you've got quite good acid, it probably won't do what you want.

The field may be a good place, or it may not. Where you like tripping totally depends on who you are. Nature's great, but don't expect to be able to walk at any great speed, for instance, if you where planning on hiking, you'll go very slowly and be looking around, probably. I personally think that working on my car would be great fun on LSD, but have never tried. (and driving is highly indivisible, unless you really need to go somewhere, like drive someone to the ER) Riding a bike is wonderful fun, but not a good idea in the city or around a whole bunch of people you know who will wonder why that kid's slowly riding his bike through suburbia, looking at everything like he's never seen anything like it and grinning to the point where he might break his face.


You'll trip for about 12 hours, max. 6 to 8 you'll probably feel great, but totally ready and able to be around others without them noticing anything (and you'll be used to it by then) and then you'll probaly be very tired and sleep like a baby at ten to fourteen hours after dropping it.

If you meant the plan was to sit in the middle of an empty field for 12 hours, this sounds like it would be very boring. If you'd taken acid before now it would be okay, or if you wanted to trip with, and talk with, someone, it would be okay. But not for a first time. You'll want to do things, I expect. Maybe drawing in this field.

Take both. Ahem, I mean tell your friend to take both.

 

thanks for the advise, haha i was laughing at the cycling very slowly part, i might try that, i mean, i might get my friend to try that..

anyways i have another question, or 2..

can you comunicate properly to other people in person or via phone calls? and also can you tell your on a drug if you walk up to someone whilst on LSD?

 

There are a lot of myths about LSD and probably 90% of them are untrue.

The first time I tripped (I took one tab) I went for a walk and started feeling drunk. Everything was funny and started getting blurry. I also got dizzy and a little nervous. I started playing with my friend's water bottle to keep my mind off of a bad trip. My friend, who was also tripping, said to me "Nooo, you'll get my water wet!" We laughed, and simultaneously raised our heads and watched the trees move with the wind and realized they were breathing. Time distorted, I couldn't tell if it's slowing down or speeding up. We came back to my house and experienced an intense euphoria. You have a new appreciation for simple tasks, like opening a Coke can. Everything you look at has new depth. Patterns are patterning! The carpet turned into a beautiful geometric city. My plaster ceiling was divine and breathing. It started raining, and my friend and I* (lol) went out and sat in it. I've never experienced something so beautiful. It lasted about six hours.

My first time was the best, out of a total of four psychedelic experiences. On the next trips, I didn't feel euphoria at all. The visuals were always there. But if there's just visuals and no euphoria, the world isn't divine, it's just weird and uncomfortable. So, assuming that all of my trips were on LSD and not DOx or some shit (I switched dealers after my first trip), set and setting are very important.

EDIT: On one or two tabs, communicating is no problem. My mom called me on the one I just described, there were no issues. And if you aren't wearing sunglasses, someone might notice your HUGE pupils, so for that reason someone can tell you're on a drug, if they don't already notice your sudden gasps of fascination with the clouds or grass or fingers..

 

im hoping for this guy who isn't me to have a beautiful trip, what you've just described is what im hoping to happen... to him of course! We will probably have it at this field next to my house so we can go back to mine if necessary, im going to take my speakers as well to play some music because, correct me if untrue, but music can alter your trip?
And the whole 'mother phoning me, or my friend' thing is what im worrying about, but if you can communicate fine well im sure al be fine but my mom was an option so staying away from her is very important! haha i cant wait, i mean he cant**
thanks for the reply!

 

Well....

Once I had to meet my mom on DOB.... I'm pretty sure she knew something was up. I think she asked if I was okay, and I said I was tired. Tired is pretty much a get out of jail free card for drug-induced behavior. But it's pretty awkward when you're trying to talk to your parents and can't stop looking at the kaleidoscopic patterns behind them.

Phoning could be hard. But nothing's impossible. And as long as you have no substance on you, tired can't usually be disproven. Even a drug test wouldn't show LSD, unless your (friends) mom shelled out big bucks for a fulllllllll lab test. The rite aid dipstick type won't show it. Even a proper lab test would have to be very shortly (a matter of days) after ingestion, the metabolites don't last long.

 

if u get lucky and have potent LSD, even one hit is enough to make operating a phone extremely difficult. turn ur phone off.

music is amazing on psychedelics.

usually i can communicate well enough with sober people..but i wouldn't count on it.

 

For sure.

The internet is nice. Phones are just a very intruding, unpleasant thing on psychedelics.

Basically, phones are a recipe for disaster tripping, many a trip has been ruined because of calls or texts. Don't do it when you have to explain yourself, or could be put on the spot and "owe" anyone some sort of answer, or have any appointments to make (unless they're tripping related appointments).

Phones are also very frustrating with people who know you're tripping and are undecided about it. They'll probably notice you can't communicate normally, and give you shit about it, which makes it worse, and worse, because of the nature of psychedelics. Been there, done that, turned my phone off.

Otherwise, you'll spend the whole damn time watching your phone and shitting bricks, it will ruin your trip, even just the anticipation. Don't do that to yourself, you won't enjoy it. Maybe if there's anyone who would call, you could conveniently have your phone die the day before, and the day after, conveniently realize all you had to do was wipe the dirt off the battery contacts.

 

Pork gave you some good advise.

My legs are way sore today from a nature trip last night. I must have walked miles, alot of up and downhill and in deep sand at the beach. He's absolutely right, you'll walk, look around, hang out, walk, etc... Nature is a great place for a journey.

PLEASE don't drive. Don't even ride a bike until you are familiar with the LSD landscape. No machinery, no thrill seeking...

I had to laugh at that... reminded me of Electric Kool Aid Acid Test, Kesey describing his first trip...

Word to both.

I would just add one thing... if you're not certain you understand what "set and setting" is... read up on it a bit beforehand.
Be safe and let us know how it goes!

 

If the person has researched a bit, definitely go with 2 hits. If they are your standard average potency blotters statistics suggest you probably will end up with about 100 ugs or so if you take both. If you end up with more consider yourself lucky.

Regardless of when you take the LSD, the perception of time can be significantly effected. I prefer to take LSD around 3:00- 6:00 pm in the afternoon so I get a bit of daylight tripping and can get to sleep as well.

Wait for the LSD to come on in a comfortable setting like a house then if you feel up to it maybe check out that field or go for a scenic walk for a bit. You most likely can walk around fairly easy, motor coordination is not really significantly impacted at moderate doses, it's much easier to walk and run on LSD than it is say compared to when being drunk.

 

I have a question and don't feel like opening a new thread for this... So i was wondering, does a big dose give you more answers or simply leaves you with more questions?
