Where to begin.. where to begin. Alright, i'm 18 yrs old and I've been smoking cannabis ever since I was young. Around the age of 10 i'd say. As I got older I've dabbled with alcohol here and there and mdma twice. Not so much cause either or isn't really my thing. I rather toke up. But anyway, about a year ago i'd say.. my best friend had taken an 8th of shrooms by himself and had a life changing experience. Now ever since I learnt about psychedelics, I've always been fascinated with the way it works. Hearing from what my best friend had to say and other people as well. I just wasn't mentally ready for any kind of psychedelic but now, I feel like it's time to experience a trip. Now the thing is.. I have a chance to trip Friday. But it'd be on acid cause shrooms are difficult to get right now and usually most experienced people with psychedelics recommend shrooms for your first time. Plus I suffer from anxiety but I've gotten better with overcoming it the past few years. What i'm concerned about is how much tabs should I take, a gist of what will happen, how to prevent a bad trip, etc.. all the beginner facts to know. Advice will help, thank you!
Unfortunately, it's probably not acid. See here. Other than that... A good time is never guaranteed, you always have a choice whether to freak out or to just deal with it.. which is the point of set and setting. You want to minimise the chances of actually having to deal with shit, such as important things to do, irresponsible friends(or drunk ones), or anything that requires solid attention. Ideally you want to be in the most peaceful state of mind as possible, so you can just drift in psychedelia. Nature is highly recommended as it has a tendency to calm the mind and massage the soul, but anywhere you feel comfortable, with no responsibilities works a treat..
Well my best friend is grabbing the tabs off his family member, which is his cousin and we have gotten bud from him plenty of times. Just not other drugs. We also talked to him and he made sure it's not fake or anything harmful. My best friend and I are gonna talk more about it with him in person.. have him try it for himself yknow ? I mean i'll take the chance. I'm gonna have a few sitters with my best friend and I.
If you have any anxiety about tripping i would not recomend it, that is how a bad trip happens. the key to having a good trip is to go into it completely happy about your life and no nervousness. otherwise at some point a bad thought may pop into your head and you will focus on that thought, which can easily lead to a bad trip
I wouldn't say anxiety = bad trip. Nothings ever that black and white with psychedelics.. the first time I tripped I was hella nervous until it kicked in, and I got mesmerised by the warping and vibing colours, and it was good times from there on. And plus, psychedelics can even help overcome anxiety. If you're going through with it, be sure of what you have, and take the time to prepare for the experience. If shit happens, you'll probably get over it.. if you only take 1 or 2 tabs you'll still have a couple of fingers on reality. But just incase you missed it in the thread I linked, munch 1/4 of a tab and see if it tastes like shit and if it makes your tongue go numb. If it does, only take 1. If not, go wild.
I agree, however anxiety is one of the key factors which can lead to a bad trip, not saying it happens 100% of the time but it definately can lead to a bad trip. It all depends on what your anxious about I guess, for example just being nervous about the drug isnt as bad as being nervous about certain problems in life or the environment your taking it in, as once you take the LSD you realise how awesome it is :afro:
It is ok to be anxious about the trip you are about to take; this is normal. Even experienced trippers still experience this regularly. What's NOT good is if there is some major thing going on in your life that you are anxious about, or have repressed. Then it will be only too happy to emerge full force into your consciousness as soon as that lysergic magic hits your receptors. Lilmehunga: The odds are STILL very high that what you are getting is NBOME, not LSD. Be extra, explicitely clear to your dealer, that you are absolutely NOT interested in NBOME, and if you are sold NBOME, you will be extremely unhappy and will need a refund. I have known dealers who know what they are selling is NBOME, and they still tell people its "acid", even when the people ask them specifically about whether its actually LSD. Liars can be dealers too . . . and often are.
