Trippy question

Hey all,

I'm not a Hippie or anything.. nowhere near it, but I just wanted to ask for everyones opinion on what the best setting is for first trying acid. I've been thinking of using it to explore my mind, but I don't want to start off on a bad note. Would a soccer game or mall be an O.K. place?

 

no, a crowed soccer game or mall would be a bad place. somewhere comfortable with people that you feel close and comfortable with. music is nessicary. outside is nice.

 

ps theres an actual lsd section on these boards. it would probably be a better place to ask this question.

 

yeah.. I'm going to try it at home and see how it goes...

0_o .. I realized that right after I posted this, I'll post my questions there next time. Thanks though

 

ATTENTION TRANCEDANCE, Don't do it YET. Its too soon. Take this from someone who has taken more than 200, THATS RIGHT 200 TRIPS. I was 15 and it was as if I had found the answer to all questions. Naturally, after that I tripped at every opportunity and in every kind of social situation. For reasons too numerous to list here, I wished I had waited until I was a little more mature before taking my first "Trip". The trick to this drug is to take your first trip with someone experienced AND in a VERY VERY MELLOW, TRANQUIL setting. Thats trick #1, trick#2 is to limit your experience to maybe 3 trips. Also, if the first one isn't a GREAT experience, don't take a second. If the first is GREAT but the second isn't, then don't take a third. The purpose is to expand your consiousness (not to see things and laugh your ass off for 8 hours) you want to be completely in touch with your senses. This can be a positive experience OR a VERY NEGATIVE ONE. Its up to how you go about it, plan it out, AND STAY AWAY FROM MALLS AND SPORTS EVENTS. What I am going to tell you now may be the most important bit of info. NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE EXP. STOP AFTER 3 TRIPS. END IT THERE, and you'll always be glad you did it. CONTINUE AND YOU WILL REGRET IT. TRUST ME, I TOOK MY FIRST TRIP ON NEW YEARS EVE 1966/67 AND MY FINAL TRIP ON AUGUST 31, 1970. FOR ME TO REMEMBER THE EXACT DATES, THEY BOTH HAD TO BE SIGNIFICANT OCCURRANCES IN MY LIFE. RIGHT? THEY MOST DEFINATELY WERE. LISTEN TO MY ADVICE, YOU WON'T REGRET IT. If I were you, I'd wait 3 years before tripping for the first time.

 

manicdeep means well, but his comments should be seen as nothing more than him talking to his 15 year old self. some things he said are universally true, but you can't just take your life story and assume it's the right narrative for everyone

 

i agree woiyh him exept h number 3 u cant call universal, but u should respect it and spread trips out over years

i did 2-400 in abit the same number of years and wish id taken less..the exact number less tho i dunno.. 10?

point is limmit it, take it or the right reasons and..know when to stop

 

Um...
Let's see
The second time I tripped was in a barn, a night where there was an unexpected tornado with my girl friend on two hits each. We brought a blanket, glowstick braclets, and a jar of pickels [amazing!!!] with fabric paint. Then the sky turned green and it started raining really badly with high winds... suddenly we heard those sirens and I saw millions of colors when I closed my eyes. I was coming off my trip dazing past the field where the barn's built. I was perfectly content about death at the time. We stayed inside the barn listening to music from her mp3 player in till the storm died.

In the barn while that shit was going on were a bunch of odd noises. That was the worst experience in my life at the time but now I look back at the experience I say I had the wildest time. I tripped about 5 times after that and I'm still on occasion. I feel very uncomfortable tripping with my girlfriend though. So... [I actually perfer tripping by myself on 3 or 4 hits than with a bunch of people]... I'm 100% introverted so....

Do some research my friend...

I would assume from your question that your not ready for LSD yet. take the time to learn some and then you'll be a bit more comfortable with your experience.

ManicDeep you said...

I admit I haven't taken 200 trips but that's not a high number for this forum. there are many here who have taken much more and are a bit more optomistic on it's use.

PS
Not all hippies do acid and people who do acid are not all hippies.

 

Manic deep. maybe you were not mature enough, but thats you. its all up to the person, everyone's different.

but yeah man, stay away from large crowds your first time.....you need some place chill, with good music.

 

id suggest on a camp out in the wilderness with some friends for a wonderful first trip. and yes ur ready to take acid if ur in a good mindset and in a good place (ie not a soccer game) for it. besides even if u have a bad trip those can be the most rewarding of all.

 

Thanks all!!!

I think I've come to the conclusion of doing it at a park on the wooded trails (very chill and theres a lake nearby).. I wasn't intending to do it for the fun of it really.. my friend and I were going to take it for insight and learning purposes - planning on taking a notepad to jot down thoughts/draw and test my sober mind vrs. LSD mind,

also.. i have a friend that's an LSD fiend, every chance he gets to take LSD he does.. that's not really what I intended I've already done all the reasearch and know what it's all about.. I just want to use it to explore my mind and do it only every so often

 

sounds tight man. try meditating! its a lot easier while tripping, and afterwards the trip, for me, gets really deep.

 

That was an interesting read nice one. I

 

Alright, so I dosed yesterday.. there wasn't really any OEV's but the CEV's were intense (around level 4'ish), and i had extremely good feelings come at me in rushes, almost like waves rippling across my body.. it was by far the most amazing thing i've experienced so far (i've only done weed before now, this is my first psychedelic)

I wandered around in the woods at a park by my house and did random stuff - check out Mr. Postachios (I made him not too long after i started feeling the effects):

 

great to hear that you tripped well! i'm the same way as far as visuals-they tend to be better with closed eyes. they seem to have more relevance and purity, like they're coming straight from the Source rather than being filtered through fixed objects. oev's are usually distracting for me. well done friend!

 

burnabowl your right, but the way I was working it one time which helped allot with extreme OEV is to tell yourself in the heat of the moment - who is to say I cant make what im looking at right now into anything I want. Im simply looking at it with my eyes, the information gets passed to my brain where I have a chemical that is allowing me to have free motion with that information - but it wont just happen, you have to make it. You have to tell yourself, the trick is to get rid of those filters by figuring out your the only one supporting them.

 

Go camping hands down never dropped cid but i'm sure thats the place. it's the place for everything

 

If you want to have visuals play with some glow sticks in the dark i swear get the green one and hold it up to your face for like a minute and then you'll see patterns in the glowstick and take it off and put it under your leg so there is no light in the room and you won't be able to see and you'll just have so many visuals and then after a couple seconds you can see and everything turns purple! it's fucking amazing i was tripping balls when i figured this secret out and it worked for multiple people! so it wasn't just me hahaha oh and red made things turn blue. it was nuts

 

That kid sounds crazy as fuck and he's gonna be fried as shit in like a month hahahahaha tell him to stop and smoke meth if he wants to fiend. some people just love to fucking trip though. i love to trip but i don't do it every chance i get there's a time and a place
