I'm pretty damn sure I am. I got into pot a few months ago after feeling very up for some mind expansion, I love deep thinking and was intrigued by the hallucinogenic affects that pot may have. Got the pot, smoked it with friends, got into smoking with friends, got into smoking alone... many months of lots of thinking some life lessons and a wholly positive relationship with it... I feel like its now cutting me off. My tolerance has gotten quite high and leaving it for a week doesn't really help lower it enough. I've got to stop smoking. Now my original intent all along was to try LSD, it has been for years, I've read so much about it and I'm sure I'd love to try it. My experiences with marijuana were very trippy and very mental, not so much visual, but really helpful with brain activity. I've also had very low doses of magic mushrooms and even though again I achieved basic visuals but intense thoughts. In fact I had several revelations which annoyingly I can't reconjure to my mind on pot and I think I need acid. Or is there a different drug I should be trying? Anyone recommend me a drug for mind-expansion that I could get a hold of easily? Remember I'm interested in mind-expansion and powerful periods of intense thought, appreciation of art and a little travelling through what Huxley called the doors of perception. What I guess I'm asking is if anyone has been through a similar thing to me, and could therefore offer me some advice on what certain drugs would be like, in what general manner to find them... etc etc
The only thing I can say is that you sound very much like me, I havent tried acid yet but you and I both seem to be on the same level. If you want to try a interesting hallucinogenic I might suggest LSA, look it up in the exotic plants section of this sub-forum. Have fun, with whatever you do man.
okay, that was not very helpful... i took lsd and mushrooms when i was a year younger than you had no problems with either shrooms seemed a little mellower though that could be cos it was easier to get hold of larger quantities of the cid? always did it at first with like-minded friends, safety in numbers tho the most mind-blowing trip i ever had was all alone stay focused, stay happy, remind yourself of what's actually happening if things get too weird [it doesn't last forever, tho you'll start to wonder] watch out for elves remember to push the earth
I always have considered myself a strong willed individual in regards to psychedelics. But i have had a few acid trips slip away from me to the point where i honestly believed i would never come down. Shit, on one particular trip i forgot i had even taken acid and convinced myself that i had died and entered the afterlife; a completely alternate dimension. Fucked up. That was a very high dose though. It is important to stay grounded.
I'd say you are ready for acid Plus in my experiences, shrooms you have less control, it takes your mind places Acid is so clear headed for me it is amazing First it depletes me of emotion, pure logic and philosophizing, then as it peaks emotion takes over, feeling each musical note, texture, heat, etc as one whole sense (synesthesia)
People make too big a deal of being "ready for it". You don't need to be some zen master to be ready for acid. It's hate that elitism that goes along with acid. I love acid itself, just some of the attitudes that piss me off. I knew this acidhead when I was like 16 who was all might because of the things he had seen and experiences in his trips and he was always like "You're just not ready. It's not your time." To be honest I thought that was complete shit and this guy was just full of himself. My opinion is that if you're a decently mature individual without major mental problems, you're going to be fine.
I think the fact that you're already aware enough of it to say "I"m ready", indicates that you probably are ready. A lot of ppl who don't think they need to be ready, drop the acid and aren't aware that it's going to challenge everything they know, down to the things that they wouldn't have ever conceived are even challengeable, and they have what they call a bad trip and blame the drug. I haven't had lsd yet, but I know it's not something you do just for fun or just because it's what going around. You do it with few expectations, one of them being that you should expect to learn hard truths, but lovers of truth embrace this.
if you've a chance you to a rave in mexico, your gonna go nuts, thats a psychedelic party PLUR DANCE!
I´d recommend LSA. HBWR are great! cheap, legal and intense enough for a mind-expansion experience. Try 5 seeds on the woods with some friends, bring a tent, pot and just have fun.
honestly, I know many people who have taken LSD on a whim without even considering possible implications like "am i ready?" And they arnt major "philosopher, psychonaut" type o' individuals. THey like sports and listen to bad music and are just your everyday 'i do drugs to get fucked up' kind of people...they still had awesome trips and loved the drug. It's fucking fun, it's not all bear bones enlightenment...it's an enjoyable high and feeling. Everyone talks about LSD around here like it's DMT, but it's not...DMT never rose to extreme levels of popularity because it's not as recreational. LSD is, it's still a strong psychedelic, but it's fun as fuck. So just try it, if you like to trip, you will like acid.
^good call. That's kinda how I was with shrooms. Didn't expect philosophy or deep meaning, but it came anyway. Accolades to those people who do lsd just for fun and still have a good time; that probably indicates that they have internal strength and are not doing drugs to escape reality, they're doing them because they are genuinely fun
I know im young ,but i tried cid a few times... B-E-A-UTIFUL!!! If u can, score the purist shit u can get. i scored got 20 hits of california pure sunshine. Its on yellow sheets, with little suns on it. But i tried half a dose my first time. my frend and i split it. it was like reading alice and wonderland on hash... have fun
Are you ready? Wow, that is almost impossible for someone in this forum to answer. Have you done your research on the chemical? You can find many places like erowid online to get more information. Have you read good and bad experience trip reports? Once again see erowid for those. Do you know how many micrograms is in the dose your seller is selling? Have you desided on a starting dose? Some people say start low, I was told I would never trip like my first time and was given a huge dose via windopain. I recommend if you are strong minded to go ahead and do a STRONG dose your first time to get the most out of it. If not strong minded, START LOW! Find dosing info at erowid. ONCE you have taken care of these things I would say you are ready. Just plan a day of no disctractions and find a good setting and dose away!
remember when taking LSD.. the pathway to the darkside has many advantages.. many deemed unnatural by most humans
sounds like your ready, just 1 thing, you cant expect to reconjure the knowledge u receive during the trip you may feel like your receiving some higher knowledhge learning incredible lessons, things u feel will change your entitre world view and you'll remember forever the next day however, you probably wont be able to peice together 1 single thibg you learned, just a general impression of knowing it that doesnt matter though, since your peeking into an unseen world, seeing and knowing things that the normal mind cant comprehend..theyre not meant to be remembered in detail, but they become a part of you nonretheless its like the difference between awareness and knowledge you can know the air is there, but are you aware of it till it moves around you? its simular to that somehow i think
