Tripping Weed Free.

I've realized that every time I've had a negative LSD experience, I had smoked weed either the day of, or the day before I tripped. At best, I'd smoked that same week. Most recently, I realized while tripping that weed may not be such a good thing for me.

Could someone compare their experiences tripping (LSD, shrooms, etc) with and without weed? It may be just me, but maybe others feel the same way.

The best thing for me, for educational purposes, would be to hear from someone who has experience tripping while being a habitual smoker and then tripping after eliminating weed from his or her life completely.

 

I was a habitual smoker of marijuana for over 3 years, everyday, all day. I began experimenting with LSD and realized marijuana had no place in the LSD experience. Afterward smoking changed for me because I realize how similar it is to the LSD mind-state. The thinking, analyzing, everything, just at a much smaller scale and without the odd feelings, perception changes, and visuals.

I no longer include marijuana in my LSD experiences, and I take marijuana very seriously now. I mostly will just smoke with meditation before bed to help get into my thoughts, but besides that I try to keep my eyes on life and not on my pipe like I had been doing before finding LSD.

I no longer smoke marijuana habitually. Respect the medicine.

that would be me. when i used to smoke every day then when i tripped it was very intense, because i also smoked a ton when i did trip. generally it just makes the trip more edgy.

i used to sort of be afraid to trip. because even though it was amazing and the knowledge i gained from the trip was incredible, and really just the whole thing was amazing, the bulk of the trip was just WAY too intense.

ive experienced alot of the same things with and without weed, but it just seems like with weed the same experience is way more intense and less enjoyable.

for example when i trip while high it really just puts a lower 'tone' to my trip that just seems to thrive more off fear.

now i don't smoke often and when i do trip i just drink moderatly. a six pack of beer and a pack of cigarretes is usually enough for a trip. the beer really is relaxing and blends into the trip nicely.

on weed it's like: OMFG OMFG THIS IS INTENSE I NEED TO GO CHILL OUT SOMEWHERE

and with alcohol it's like: mmm...mmm i love you guys.

even though it is pretty much the same thing being experienced, the median through which is is experienced is dramatically different.

honestly I have tried to quit pot since 78. When I started. All in all I've gone about 1 week at a time without this whole time. I still smoke at least 7-10 bowls a day. (one hitter)

I quit trying to quit.

But I try moderation now hence only 7-10 hits a day instead of 7 joints a day.
Psych-wise I like to smoke weed when I've been on acid but it really seems to have little effect due to the fact the acid is much more overpowering.

Kind of a waste really.

aloooha!

 

Honestly man it takes nothing from the trip, for me it makes it better because it takes the edge off of everything. But honestly ive had trips where i dident smoke for atleaste 4 hours before hand and dident smoke any till the next day, no different really from smoking the whole time im tripping. Some people tend not to really awenser your question just make you ask more on here. From experience most beneficial to your education, it makes no difference if you smoke or not, everything that happens comes from with in your head, ive been smoking weed since i was 12 longer than cigs drinking anything, i went from there to pills very rarley then LSD when i was only 13, i only started smoking cigs on acid because it looked so cool, then got addicted after that point. Im 16 now and have eatin about 30 35 hits and have smoke weed everyday since i started, and never been better, or cheated on a trip for anything but my own mistakes.

 

7-10 hits a day isn't moderation... it's a lot healthier than 7 joins a day, but it's not moderation.

As for the original question, I can't help with the quitting weed part, but I can say that I was tripping with this girl once, and everyone was having a great time for several hours. As we were getting towards the peak, we all took a hit from my bong, and shortly thereafter she launched into a very scary bad trip. I'm not really into the idea of smoking while tripping, unless it's a small dose or perhaps during the comedown of a bigger dose. I just don't see the point of it really. I mean, anyone who keeps track of my posts will know that I think weed is incredibly powerful, so it's not quite a "what's the point" kind of thing. I don't know. I guess I've just never smoked while tripping and thought it made a positive impact on the trip. If anything, it has made me a little cloudier and either looser or more paranoid depending on the situation. I guess I just gravitate towards unadulterated experiences. L is just so powerful that to do another drug on top of it seems kind of greedy. It's like, if I'm going to smoke a bunch of pot while tripping, I might as well drink too, and then if I'm tired I might as well do some coke or whatever... I mean, that's no way to trip. I say just eat the paper and enjoy

 

agreed

when I trip I always smoke
I find that it helps calm my mind down
Gives me that little extra bit of lube for soul searching
and last but not least clears that tension right up

 

Wow, that's some serious experience.

Oh, snap.

Not that smoking marijuana from the age of 12 is anything to brag about or something to strengthen your credibility, anyway...

 

I couldnt picture taking L without weed handy. I get really jittery when I trip and find that smoking a bit of herb eases the shaking hands a bit! I tend to take a few tokes here and there rather than sitting down and smoking a whole joint though. I also find smoking a bit of weed provides a bit of both mental and visual stimulation when on L, not that it isnt stimulating on its own. I guess everybody is different and what works for some might not work for you..

 

Marijuana affects everyone differently. Some people tend to get revved up and restless after smoking. It often affects me that way. I actually know Share the Warmth personally, and although we haven't smoked together a lot of times, I could definitely see him as the kind of person for whom smoking weed is more of an intensifier than a relaxant. I can't imagine weed would take the edges off my trip... a few beers, maybe, but not weed. For me, saying that smoking weed will take the edges off my LSD trip is like saying eating some shrooms will take the edge off my LSD trip. Of course I'm not saying you're wrong in your personal experience, it's just that I definitely see where Share the Warmth is coming from and I think he should probably avoid combining LSD with marijuana.

 

It depends on the weed.

I am very picky with weed, some weeds I just don't like at all. I only like the energetic clear headed weeds.

 

tripping without weed is always a better, cleaner trip...i don't like smoking while tripping it clouds the lucidity even though it blows you up sometimes. also ruins the pleasant afterglow of a mushroom trip which is the best feeling in the world.

 

this comes back to the age old question.. is marijuana a downer? an upper? aq psychedelic? well in the end, cannabis does heaps of differnet things to people.

And it seems it has two effects for people who trip - it either makes it edgy, fear driven, confused, and makes control and mental clarity much harder.

OR plenty of people say it relaxes their edginess. and chills them out.

I think that you should work off how it effects you personally.

To me, weed can really fuck up a trip. i dont like to smoke weed before ive peaked on the acid, because those trips are never as good as teh trips where i just stay clean at the start. I dont like to be stoned when i smoke dmt, for similar reasons. it is like there is a little module of my brain dealing with my place in my own mind, and i need that in place when dealing with veryconfronting situations that i want to apply my mind to. a trip, especially in the come up and peak, is very much this for me.

but if im not trippin and just chillin out, then i want to float around in my head, and thats why i smoke ganja.

but acid wont make you float around in your head, it makes your head morph around you.

so when i smoke ganja when comin up on acid i get rather confused and this makes the whole trip less enjoyable.

but some people, you know, cannabis barely does anything to them anyway except chill them out. there are ppl who dont think cannabis is a drug.

there are also people who dont really care about anything except being whacked out.. and so i nthis case the ganja can distract them from all the serious shit that starts creepin up on them in a trip.

but all the bad trips ive seen and heard of have involved ganja, and i know that ive never had a bad time in my trips unless ive got stoned.

so yeh i save that till when im centred... in my place... if im being launched off by acid and going from one mode to another, i dont want to be stoned because then i will miss all the signs and end up at the end of the line.. and its pretty desolate there

 

marijuana is made of many compounds and lsd a few.

pot is more complex in terms of being a downer,stimulant, psychedelic and even aphrodisiac.

 

And why would your opinion matter, also how do you feel you need to analyze what some one else posts? You are not at all talking about what this thread was created for...

 

I answered the original question in another post. And I'm perfectly willing to admit that my opinion might not matter. Two reasons why it might are that I know the OP personally and also that I've had bad trips on weed alone and I'm intimately acquainted with the sometimes edgy/paranoid effects of weed.

I realize my post was kind of a low blow and I almost decided not to post it, but I thought it was hilarious that you talk about the importance of experience as if you've been smoking and tripping for twenty years, citing that you started at 13, and then you reveal that you're now 16.

 

for me, smoking weed on acid is like having little bits of my soul ripped away in fear.

it's a good thing, but oh is it painful.

 

Its not how long, but how much.

 

Having dropped both with and without I can also recommend dropping acid without marijuana as being superior.

LSD is the blinding clarity of knowledge, the teacher that speaks to you from before words. Why be stoned for that? Be sober, and watch, listen, learn, and live.
