I'm wondering whether I should be trying lsd as my first psychedelic. I've heard and read that shrooms are safer and induce a calmer, less intense trip. Are mushrooms safer? Supposedly lsd is the most potent halucinogen. There's also Mescalin aswel. Which one is the safest? Shrooms or lsd? I was also wondering if you can develop schizophrenia from just one or two acid trips. Is that common? Or does that happen to those that abuse it excessively. I'm scared about that.
Using psychedelics does not give you schizophrenia. Shrooms and acid are both very safe, actually. I'd go with shrooms since its easier for a lot of people to get shrooms because you might get sold some blotters with an rc on them and not know the difference. Since you've never tripped before and don't know much about it I doubt you can find mescaline.
If you have a history or genetic tendency towards mental illness, extreme phobias , paranoia, or major peronslaity issues then psychedelics arenm't for you. If not and if you know and are aware of the control you have over your own self and mind you'll have a blast. AS for which one. Different strokes for different folks. dont think people who like one psychedelic will like them all. Shrooms is shorter in terms of length of trip but many people consider it more internal which can be a good or bad thing. whichever you choose. if yu want to make sur eyou have a great trip underdose your first time. you'll be hankering for more and hence teh next time you can blow you're mind because you'll be hyped up for it and enjoy it.
Hmmm Personally I'd do a hit of LSD for my 1st time but shrooms are amazing too and probably easier to find. So id recomend going w/ mixmasters suggestion. LSD can always be rough for a 1st timer if you aint prepared ++ its like dry as hell... so dry I dont know anyone in my state who has any and I used to brag about having killer connections... I should've never bragged haha.
its been fucking weird. it went dry, now i can get it, went dry, now i can get it. we need some more cooks.
if you can find some good, clean L.... I would recommend an acid trip for your first psychedelic experience
I used to worry about the schizophrenia thing too before I ever tried a psychedelic, but its actually not as bad as you think, its extremeley rare to get scizophrenia from doing acid or shrooms. Id say just eat a half eighth of shrooms for your first time, or if your lucky enough to get a hold of good acid, then eat a tab or 2.
if you have 2 shizo uncles then I might be worried. that qualifies as genetic tendencies. honestly, if I was you I would start smoking weed and see how that went, and then after a while do maybe a half eigth of shrooms or a hit of acid and see how that went, and go from there. but if you don't want to go schizo caution is advised.
I won't tell you which should be your first because everyones body and mind will react a little differently but I will tell you about my experience and maybe it will help you. Shrooms always hit me harder than lsd . What happens to me is I trip really hard at first and then I have a peaceful experience, but once I ate way too much and from beginning until end I was freakin out bad just wanting it to be over. Lsd on the other hand, in my case anyways, has always had a peaceful effect on me. I can't stop smiling and I find everything to be beautiful. Good luck and please be careful, k?
2 schizo uncles? and you want to trip? im paranoid and I only have a small case w/ my brother in my family. like hes so schizo hes normal... so I doubt if I did go schizo its nothing some pills couldnt take out but still... schizophrenia is seirous stuff. idk if trippins for you man... its very possible in your case that taking acid may unlock your schizophrenia especially since it seems to be a strong genetic trait. Its not like an extremely high chance... everyone is diffrent but if you display depression or un social like behaviors right now... taking psychedelics wont make it better and if anything could fuck you up for the rest of your life.
Oh dear! Some really BAD advice! If you have tendencies DO NOT start smoking pot "to see how it goes". MY best friend from Primary school is a psychiatric nurse and my brother a psychiatrist and the drug they think is more dangerous than any other for people with psychiatric tendencies is pot. They are not scandalised by drug use and they are not biased by media reports they have first hand experience. In fact they would rather someone with psychiatric tendencies do cocaine or pills than touch pot. Not to say cocaine won't lead to a nasty addiction in the long run but your mental health is less at risk. WIth two uncles (I assume these guys are genetically quite close) I'd leave any thought of doing LSD or pot or shrooms for at least another decade or two when you know your place in the world a little better. Mental illness can ruin your life. If LSD was still available form Psyhcologists we'd know a whole lot more about it and it would be available for people who have mental health issues in the first place but that isn't the case. there is no qualified proffesional to see you through this and work out any issues you may have. Although Schizophrenia is not "issues" its way beyond that. Having said that many people are sectioned or defined as having schizophrenia when they don't. Some may just have anger problems or other mental illnesses. You may want to xdouble chekc what they have. Keep yourself safe like you would if you were your own child. YOu may do it despite any advicer I give of course and you may be fine, but why not wait? Its not ruled out but just wait till later in life?
But is schizophrenia, or any mental illness really genetic? Or is it something that can only develop through surroundings and experiences etc. Man I'm real interested in the psychedelic world. Can one trip fuck you up? One Trip? What if i was to just take something really small first, like a quarter tab to check out what its like. Ten years is too long. I mean does ur psychiatrist friend know any family trends with schizophrenia, and can psychedelics trigger that?
