What's the point here? Why he needs that much? Is he trying to prove something? Tell him to share it with friends and have a good time with the people he loves. The best experience is when you share it and when you are all in the same trip.
ok bit of an update he hasnt droped it yet but its wednesday here and hes taking it friday night. the most he ever took before was 17 at once. to consume them he has folded them over and over again and is left with a small fat square of trips close to the full size of your mouth. the guy is pretty trip capable, hes always takes around 15 at once and just walks around with headphones with trippy music on. not to mention he has been thru a large amount of all kinds of DMT and the 2c family thru out his time and he wants to do it for the same reason people took thumbprint doses to see how far he can go. he doesnt really take high doses if hes out with people and leave the heroic doses for deep journeys into himself and his music. me and all my friends think hes fuckin crazy but he seems like he'll be fine, hes one the most mentally stable people ive ever met, nothing puts him on a downer on any psychedelics and he knows his limits. so ill post again on friday how his experience went ill be with him cept the other 2 of us are snorting 2c-b and lookin after him with one other straight friend. keep posting tho, theres been some great posts in this thread.
that would be horrible for his set and setting the biggest problem with doing that much LSD is that a bunch of ignorant assholes are going to think he is some sort of freak! OP: try to get him to write up a trip report and post it on here. i think he should try 30 hits. i bet you the difference between 30 and 100 wouldnt be much at all, making it a waste to take it all at once.
I agree that it could definitely mess him up and give him serious HPPD, but he has tripped *****750 TIMES****** - that is the main reason why I really didn't think it would be that big of a deal for him. I mean, obviously it's a big deal, but from what i know about large doses, for this guy who takes 15 hits regularly, it should be a from a guaranteed trip to the nut house. There is no way he doesn't already have pretty serious HPPD, so that's kind of my logic. I'm certainly not supporting it though Anyway, I'm very curious to hear about how it goes. Like I said, one of my good friends has done a thumbprint, but he doesn't really remember anything about it. I asked him if it changed him, and he said, "Allen... I don't have any idea what it was like before the thumbprint, so I have no idea if I have changed or not." Wow. Intense. I mean, when your ego is completely evaporated into a state of ego apocalypse (haha) for like 30 hours, it's going to feel pretty weird being "you" again hahahaha
how would that be horrible for his setting, you have a camera in the cornor or a guy holding it. So i can really see how that would fuck him up so much.....
it will def fuck up his trip In the 50's when they were experimenting with the drug on volunteers...they would give the patient his/her dose...string them up with medical equipment attatched to machines for life support, and a bunch of people would observe you and take notes the entire time. Almost all the trips reported for those session were absolute hellish bummers. Which is why the CIA wanted to use LSD as a weapon in biological warfare. They thought LSD always produced a state of delerium/confusion/skitzophrenia. Obviously this is not true. It was only because of the setting of the experiment. You can't have a good time when you feel like your a monkey.
Very good point above about the camera. Just to play devil's advocate, I would say the chances he will remain conscious of the camera for longer than about 10 minutes is pretty small, but I could be wrong, and even the slightest bad vibe could result in a bummer trip. The camera, being watched and observed, and the permanence of every action and choice we make might be the last thing he thinks about before total ego death, and it might send him straight into hell hahahaha Edit: I feel like a jerk laughing at the idea of a hellish trip on 100 hits, but I can't help but laugh at the thought of a video camera being one's archnemesis and responsible for as little as 24 hours or as much as a lifetime of paranoia and self-consciousness.
how about you have him run the camera or set it up himself, sell him the idea prior to it so he knows what's up. usually if you have the intention to record it yourself you don't have such a bad trip...
Just wait until he is in that like euphoric stage or completely focused on something and then pull out the camera while he isn't looking.
think about it... what is the reason for the camera? whatever that reason is - is part of the set and setting! you wouldnt video tape a party because no one is going to want to watch it. unless of course something really strange or fucked up happens. which brings me to my point - the reason you guys want to video tape it is because you figure that he is going to do something worthwhile watching. unless this guy is a great musician or something i dont think there will much worth recording. my point is that when you video tape a psychedelic experience you turn it into a science experiment. if i was him i would make sure that no one will bother me - no sitter, no one.
a thumbprint is where some one puts there thump in a pile of lsd crystals and consumes it. ive heard it can be in the range of 7000 doses. didnt there use to a club/brotherhood or something in the 60s where to get in you had to take a thumb print dose.. anybody know? i can remember readin it somewhere
