So I'm Gonna Try Acid

I know it takes an hour or so to kick in, right? I'll be able to get home fine and everything from wherever I'm at...correct?

I'm thinking about just taking the hit at 10 or so, so then everyone will be asleep and the trips last about 5 or 6 hours, right? So I'd come down by 3 or 4.

My only question is will I be speaking out loud? I'm expecting to have a good trip because I have no worries about acid or anything and I'll be in a comfortable enviornment.

And one more question, once I get the acid (which should be in the next week or so) how will I be able to tell it's truly acid...is there a taste to it that I'd know it's acid? And of course I'll only truly know if/when I trip if it's actually acid.

Thanks in advance for any advice

 

Trips last 8-12 hours. Don't bank on being able to get home while tripping, unless you're being driven by someone else, or otherwise guided home (don't even *think* about driving yourself).

I can't tell you if you'll be speaking out loud or not. There's a distinct possibility that you'll chat a whole lot of shit though.

No real way to tell if it's truly acid before taking it, though if it has a very bitter taste then it's definitely not. Acid should be tasteless (or if it's on blotter, it should just taste like paper).

 

No way, you don't want to be driving when you come up. 45 minutes or so is normal, tho it may happen sooner if it's a strong dose. Don't leave more than 30 minutes at the most.
if you drop at 10, don't expect to get any sleep at all. come down is a looong process.
overnight in your room by yourself is not the best setting for your first trip. you might want to rethink this plan.

 

If you take it at 10pm, it might not finish until 10am.

 

Hmm. I think I misunderstood the first post slightly there.

You're buying it somewhere else then going home to trip? Shouldn't be too much of a problem then, though like Pepopstico says, don't count on the comeup being an hour, it could be as quick as 30 minutes.

Remember, it's not like you HAVE to trip the same day you buy it. If you're intent on tripping in your family home (not the best idea, to be fair), why not save it until you've got the house to yourself for the day (or at least for a 12 hours stretch)

 

Dude, no offense, but you definitely need to research LSD a bit more before you do it. If you already didn't know how long the trip is and that acid is tasteless, I wouldn't bet that the rest of your knowledge on the substance is completely accurate.

 

best advice is to try shrooms first if u havent yet

 

i initially took it without knowing alot about it and had the time of my life, people who are not informed of the bad will only think of the good

 

Exactly i couldnt imagine doing it knowing about bad trips. when i first took it i only knew that walls would melt and shit and i was completely fine.

 

shrooms are a good to expirament with, b4 u take the acid...
i never took acid, but with shrooms u could control ur dose better, and its less VISUAL and less chances of u havin a bad trip. i would rather take shrooms first
P.S
im not sayin that shrooms arent visual they defffenitly are, but real acid is stronger, and more of a brain high as opposed to shrooms which is more of a body high, althouh both shrooms and acid are body and brain high )

 

I've had good doses of acid, and I've eaten a ten strip...shrooms are way more visual for me. Don't go making blanket statements like that, for some people shrooms are way more intense.

Also, the comedowns off of shrooms have been way rockier, much more roller coaster-y, as opposed to acid which is simply amazing the whole way through.

I wish I hadn't known as much going into my trips, that way there's nothing to project onto your experience, nothing to expect that might mess with you.

 

your right, but also u might have some panic attacks if u suddently see some shit ur not expectin, when u kno a lot about the drug, u could b like "oh thats just the drug, maybe if i think happy, things will get better" u kno what i mean? research about L has its ups and downs though.

and shrooms are "safer" to take, b/c with acid u dont kno how strong a hit is, with shrooms u could start low and work ur way up, acid one hit could b too much. thats my point, dont argue!

 

I would reccomend trying acid before mushrooms. Mushrooms can be very powerful on your mind- don't get me wrong- acid is too but in a different way. I've seen friends in a bad way from mushrooms that have been fine on acid. I've had ten blotters at once before and been nowhere near the state of some mushroom trips I've had. Mushrooms have taken me beyond the fine fabric of reality and for various reasons I've banned myself from eating them anymore.
But acid- hard to find in my part of the world but I would happily eat it right now.

 

dude you probably havent had good acid if you've had mushroom trips more intense than acid

 

I found mushrooms more intense in the sense that I had a lot harder of a time controlling my emotions while trippin. I've had some real good doses (the ones that I took when I had the ten strip, we were warned by an older hippy guy to never take more than two at a time) but acid seems to affect me differently. Actually, none of what I've experienced has been all that visual (with the exception of some closed eye shit on both acid and mushrooms) more mental type shit for me.

It could be just as easy to take too many mushrooms, and it can start off like this "How much are you supposed to take to trip?" or the much more dangerous "dude, nothing's happening yet, maybe we didn't take enough." The consequences can be more rough with mushrooms as well - when you overdose, not only do you have the trip to deal with, you're likely to get sick as well and that is THE WORST thing to deal with.

Bottom line is that both are dangerous, both can help you to realize things about yourself however hard it may be, and either one would be a good jumping off point. Do whichever one comes your way first, and be careful with both. Or trust yourself (or think you can trust yourself) and be reckless with it and find out what happens.

 

Telling someone that acid is easier to handle is just plain misleading, in my opinion... maybe you've had an easier time with acid, but believe me, there are many, many people who would disagree with that. Why do you think it's called an "acid flashback" or an "acid casualty?"

 

acid casualties are usually from excessive use.

"dude you probably havent had good acid if you've had mushroom trips more intense than acid"

I've had some pretty damn strong acid trips in my time- Did anyone get hoffman millinium's floating around a few years back?
What I'm trying to say is I can handle a strong acid trip quite fine.
The mushroom trip that sent me beyond 'the line' was after knocking back a container of condensed juice from approx 200-250 or so psylocybes from tropical northern australia. Now I look back it was a pretty stupid thing to do.
Now moderately strong mushroom trips bring me back to this strange world I visited- It's a place where reality is completely lost and I have no control.
My wife once had to ask a old couple for help (on her first strong trip) to get my clothes back on in the middle of a public park- by the time I come down she had me in the bath (I pissed my pants- a complete mess- I thought the old couple were leading me to the spirit world as they lead me out of the park). I was unable to talk, shivering and very confused when reality started to crash back. That probably wouldn't have happened if I didn't take that strong dose a year earlier.

But acid- Acid is fun- But I'm sure if I took a strong enough dose I might end up in this place again but I think I would need a hel of a lot of acid for this to happen.

 

This is just in my case and what I've seen.
I agree- both can be intense- and it all depends on the dose, setting and mindset.
I've never had acid flashbacks.
Mushrooms have permenately left my vision a bit 'weird'. Things constantly appear to move- refer to HPPD- something that has seen to have affected only me and not my friends.
Acid has left me with static.

Maybe I'm more sensitive to mushrooms.

But everyone is different I suppose.



Peace.

 

ya i never thought that some people are more sensitive to some drugs than others. But i thought you couldnt get flashbacks from mushrooms that you could only get those from acid.

 

You can get flashbacks from either drug, though the effect was somewhat different with mushrooms for me. And flashbacks are not entirely what they are commonly thought of to be, it's not like you're suddenly blasted back into full trip mode with visuals and distorted thought patterns. The common perception of a flashback is propaganda, distorted from the actual risk of HPPD.

And I didn't tell everyone that acid is easier to handle, I said that I have an easier time handling it, and that mushrooms were more emotionally out of control for me. That's how it is FOR ME, not for everyone.
