hey everyone, just wanted to compliment you all on the library of info you have going on here. ... one of the reasons why im glad i found this site. anyways, ill get to it. I've been searching the forums, found a bunch of usefull stuff, but would still like your opinions / help with some things. I've been really eager to get my hands on some acid for a while... a few years now actually . I've done a shit-load of research and feel like im pretty well prepared. I have some history with magic mushrooms, weed, and salvia, but from what ive read and heard, acid is a whole nother experience. for the most part, i'd consider myself fairly mentally stable... been using salvia for maybe 2 years?... but about 4 months ago i agreed i wouldnt touch it again for a long while after i exprienced what i'd consider 6 minutes in hell... felt like alot longer to me though... even now when swim smokes a bit of weed, they get flashes of the experience which instills a short burst of fear... it goes away after maybe 5- 10 minutes, but none the less, its unpleasant. is it possible that this could influence a negitive experience on acid... im sure itll kick in at some point... Anyways, I've recently come in contact with some, (from what i hear from a friend) solid, clean, and "great" acid. im just curious, I do plan to try it, but would anyone think its wise to start with a lower than suggested dose... and work up from there? maybe start with a Half of a hit or something? i dont want to sound like a pussy or anything. I just like stepping into the shallow end before hitting up the diving board. Also, with my experiences from magic mushrooms, i find that i am quite capable of pulling myself... err... re-directing myself out of a potentially bad trip, i do occasionally experience a bit of paranoia... but im not to worried. Ill most likely be using it at my families cabin up north which is close to nature, peaceful, and solitary, ill have my gf and a very close friend of mine (who will be going in the day after me) as sober sitters. should i eat before? drink alot of water? maybe have a few beers to loosen myself up thanks for the help eh Namaste. -nick
im guessing that you experienced a visit to the plastic world and saw yourself die... thats a salvia trip. if you havent felt a death like experience before on salvia, then that bad trip was your first time actually tripping on salvia. salvia is actually an achronim for the six stages of the trip http://www.salvia.net/en/effects.htm http://www.sagewisdom.org/faq.html#Section%205 as for the acid, i would recommend you take 1-2 hits for your first time. if you truely believe that you are mentally stable, than by all means fry. theres no point of frying on sid if you're just going to get a half ass fry. acid is suppose to be intense, but its nothing to be feared (especially if you can re-direct yourself from having a bad trip on shrooms). put it this way, when you smoke pot, would you rather just take one toke, or would you rather get stoned? if you take half a hit, you're just going to get a body high at most. if you take 1-2 hits, you will most likely get the full on visuals and the body high, depending upon how good those hits are. just make sure that your set and setting are to your liking. hope that helps, and hope you have a great first-time trip.
oh yeah man, there was death, ive died many times dancing with sally, shes very creative in finding ways to utterly shatter you. but i can get past those times. that trip, i didnt die... everyone else did. it was the complete isolation and loneliness which got to me. as for what you said about the take 1-2 hits you make a good point, im not much one for bungy-ing into the rabbit hole... i typically like to be nice and deep.
Fry. lol hate that word when acid's concerned. In no way does it justify the effects of LSD in the mind. It's disrepecting the whole tripping experience in my eyes. Salvia's a good trip but I notice I often flashback to times on sally D when tripping on acid.. The death thing on sally for me is often provoked by the effect it has on the lungs. Thoughts of 'oh dear, I shouldn't of smoked this, there's something inside me pulling me to the chair' kinda thing. Like a physical force inside my body pulling me down, as my head's spinning out and showing a range of realities. I'm left trying to jump back into the current one. The mission to get me back to what's actually going on. I miss Salvia.
i took 4 hits my first time had an astonishing trip i randomly saw very minor illusions of "rain" though for a while after it. they were soo minor that i they didnt effect me enough to make it soo i couldnt do a task or anything. and i thought that it was from the acid but realy it was from smoking weed almost daily since ive smoked weed twice in the last 2 weeks and havnt seen any "rain" at all soo it definately wasnt the acid. weed like brings back the trip in a weird way though and when you smoke weed everyday i feel like its always in your system a little soo youre always a little stoned if you know what i mean. btw acids a big deal but at the same time its not as big a deal as people think...its just a drug...its not gonna kill you....its safer then e or other hard drugs and much more enjoyable and you actualy get something out of it. the only unpleasent part of the trip was coming down because i was sad that the visuals had stoped and the mentals were still hitting me hard and i got worried they wouldnt stop but they did it just took like 15 hours. if you start too get worried make sure to remember your just on a drug and the effects will stop eventualy. also havign soemone to give you a hug whenever youg et startled and too hold your hand to help you walk helps make you more comfortable with the trip. i feel like if my trip was any less intense it would have not been as good and i wouldnt have learned as much from it. either do it and take 1 or 2 hits or more if youre with the right people in the right setting or theres not realy a point in doing it since you wont get much out of it.
