So, my friend and i have never done acid before but we are planning on goin trippin together as soon as we can get some, its cool cause we've both decided not to do it for the first time unless we are together. I've read in a few posts up here that one should do a little preparation before hand to gain the best experience, but noone really went into specifics.. anyone care to elaborate on this? Any advice as far as set and setting are concerned too? Thanks
www.erowid.org ------ just be comfortable.. and have some nice music (usually something relaxing or instrumental) all set or whatever you might want to do.. but give yourself plenty of options so your not fiddling around trying to find something when your tripping... make sure your not somewhere thats going to induce paranoia.. a clean and tidy environment always helps.. and you might get thirsty to.. so some orange juice is good.. or something that has a real flavor to it.. not just water (tho thats fine) or soda or alcohol... but fruits are great to eat and drink while tripping.. and for set... just relax.. maybe spend a few days before just laying down and meditating (you dont have to go serious about it) just do it to relax for a short bit each day and to think about some things that might be on your mind.. and resolve any problems that you can.. just be completely comfortable with your mind set.. dont be depressed or anything like that when taking them.. anxiety is always common.. you just gotta relax and once you get through the beginning of the trip you'll feel a little bit more relaxed.. just remember that it all comes from your own mind... anything 'terrifying' that happens.. look at it as if its a bad dream, a nightmare.... a product of your own mind.. and dont linger on any single thoughts.. let them flow through, that also means dont try and 'not' think about something...
3 DONTS when it comes to trippin on 'cid..... 1) Dont look in mirrors.... matter of fact, take down any mirrors you have 2) no showers..... 3) No Bathroom.... From personal experience and experiences of others follow these 3 rules... nothin good comes of them
I love mirrors when I'm trippin. It's fun to see how big my pupils are and watch my face warp and melt.
On my last trip, when the acid first began to kick in, I wandered into my friend's bathroom to take a leak...looked up from the toilet at his floral wallpaper to see the flowers growing, dying, withering away, sprouting, blooming, and growing back up again; won't ever forget the look on his face when I called him in there.
nah dont do that... my 1st real visual experiences came from all three together... i was in my bathroom taking a shower.. i cant even find words to describe how good the hot water felt.. and watching the water trickle down.. and the sound of it all.. when I closed my eyes It was clearer & more vivid then normal open eye quality interaction under a hot spring waterfall.. I think i was in the shower for like an hour that day.. then the mirror when i got out.. that was funny as hell.. at I got luaghing when my neck looked like it was a foot long or so.. then my faces swirled inwards (thats the only time i felt like I was going to throw up tripping.. just queezy feeling that gave me for a few seconds) and as it unswirled my face was no longer mine.. well maybe it was.. but it was like MS paint 16color quality but it was funny as hell.. i started laughing saying wtf your trying to pass that off as me.. poor try.. lol... and I was able to control my facial expression by changing the 'mood' within my head.. I dont know how to explain it.. but you know those times were you feel like you have 2 minds.. your normal ego mind (which usually is functioning too well under these circumstances) and your expanded awareness or whatever you want to call it.. but you sorta exsist in both at once, but yet they are detached from each other... idk.. lol never mind but yea mirrors are fun.. stare at them long enough and your can see into your head... also I love with acid (doesnt seem to happen as much after shrooms) the after affects (well i love them all anyway) but mirrors are great.. especially ones that provided you with some sorta of 'experience' ... they're continue to play with you for a bit afterwards... ive always enjoyed it.. tho its decreased a hell of a lot since I stopped doing acid alot... and wtf no bathrooms? does that mean fuck it dude your tripping.. its ok to piss you pants??
hehehehehe. yep i agree. acid makes me feel like a goddess and when i look in the mirror while tripping the warping and colourful being staring back at me is the most beautiful person ive ever seen and it makes me feel just wonderful. can be a bit scary at times but think positive thoughts always.
last time i tripped on mush i was looking into the mirror and it looked like i was blind. I could see this grey ring swhirling on the inside edges of my dialated pupils. On the inside of this line my pupis where light grey, it was crazy.
I'd suggest reading the psychelic experience by tim leary (or nearly any other leary for that matter) Ram dass wrote some really good stuff to aldous huxley's doors of perception and heaven and hell would be a really good one to read....
