so i just got some acid i was told it was good and for a first trip i should only take one, the guy is really reliable so i trust him. now my dad told me its mostly setting and mind set that makes a good trip. the question i have is, is there any thing ells i should plan or avoid. i don't have phobias i was told they can f things up... but any way i digress what should i plan for or make sure to do... or not to do.
I love questions like this as i can wax lyrical about my favbourite subject SO here goes: Make sure you're in a safe and happy place physically and mentally. Make sure you KNOW that all that will happen to you will be in your own mind and that you have control over that. (unnless you are mentally unwell). Make sure you have a large area to be in or places to go either just for the fun and exploration element or for the change of scenery if things get a little ugly element. Remember that there may perhaps be times when something unexpected and negative happens; negative things are as much a part of life as positive, this should not detract from your happiness or enjoyment, we alll should all do our best and thats all we can do. Although you dont need ANYTHING other than teh world aroudn you maybe have some music and fruit ready to explore teh senses when tripping is you so feel the need to do so. Kaleidoscopes etc. seeem false as teh world will be mre beautiful and just as kaleidoscopic. WHen you start coming up is when the most confusing part is, enjoy it, it can be the best part. You will, after a while, plateau. Things will still be crazy but you wont feel quite as out of control. The shivers and tingles at the start.... enjoythem, they tickle and feel buzzy, some peopel dont getthem but if you learn to enjoy rthen it can set teh up vibe you need for the whole trip. If at any point you have negativity, that you feel you can't handle (because their may be some that you can and want to for evolving as a person) just put it aside, realsie that tomorrow will be a better time t deal with it andthats ookay and chaeg teh focus of which ever sense is overpowering you ito that to somehting else. Change of settng, scenery, music etc will distract. This one's especially relevant if you're a girl: There will be times when MANY people look deformed and disabled and sometimes you will look down at yourself or if you find a reflection you may look HIDEOUS. laugh at it. it happens to us all. it funny and fun. Don't let it get you down. I think you know enough but really, if you're a well human being and not afraid of losing control, and have done yoru reserach you WILL have a blast. It's going to be great! Grace us with a trip report after if you can be bothered! let us live vicariously through you! Hee!
My advice is to find a dirty carpet somewhere and look at it while you're tripping on LSD. Being around people who aren't tripping is usually a drag for me, especially if they have never tripped before and know that you're tripping. Try to avoid groups of people in general and don't talk on the phone unless you must.
It will be a lot easier for you to relax if you have somebody tripping with you, or at least who has smoe experience with tripping that way they know what you're going through.
I found a portable microscope works wonders on magnifying the dirt between the threads on the old couch to make them look like boulders. Trippy!
i would say get 2 hits, take 1 hit and see how you feel, and if you think you need the other take it. its good to get a nice full trip the first time, cause there is nothing like your first time, it is extremely beautiful. i say if you like smoking weed, bring a little of that along for the ride, or smoke some before hand to get you in the mood. setting is what really makes the trip, either pick a nice spot out in nature, or a comfy spot inside your house. if your inside, put some music on, get in some comfy clothes, get some trippy stuff to look at, its better if the room has got some textures, or designs. sometimes anyways, sometimes a white wall is all you need. outside is great too, especially on a warm sunny day, which there might not be too many of those since its winter. but feeling the grass, and looking at the sky, and looking at trees is fantastic. you can feel the energy from the earth, everything is so calm and clear and beautiful. as long as you have no worries, and you keep an open mind you'll have a good trip. don't be scared, your fear is what brings you into a bad trip, just take in what your experiencing, learn from it, and enjoy it!
Um yeah before you smoke marijuana while on LSD give this thread a read: http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=336362&f=117 If you're a fan of mary jane I recommend bringing some definetely, but do yourself a favor and at least experience a good 6 hours of LSD without the mind fuck of marijuana.
