new to acid and need help!

ok, first time doin acid, prob a low dose one hit maybe 2. but only thing i am concerned about....i cant trip till like 7pm and i have to get up at like 6am and bike to gfs house to babysit her lil brother, i dont mind if im still trippin at this time but do i still have consciousness? will i be able to get up and leave and go on like a 20 min bike? lol

 

No matter what acid will always last 24hours. But yes, you'll be able to wake up and ride a bike. You're still conscious your perception is just way higher. Oh and.....you hallucinate

 

thats all i need to know.....now im excited, i hope the trees talkt o me lol =P

 

Haha. Are you tripping by yourself? It's usually better to trip with someone else for inexperienced users

 

no im trippin wit my friend n maybe his friend n plan on smokin alot too

 

Acid 24hrs? Um... no. The high generally lasts 6-8 hrs. You usually stay pretty wide awake for a while after that. And yeah, for about 24 you feel mild extra lucidity. But not really hallucinations. Actually, true hallucinations on LSD are really pretty rare, except in really high doses. You'll catch visuals a lot of the time, but not true hallucination.

If you have something to do at 6am, and you don't mind being a little wonky, I'd recommend dosing between 9-11PM. You'll have basically come down by the time your bike ride happens, but still have a lot of energy and some serious lucidity. Babysitting will be really odd though.

Thing is, if you dose at 7pm, you will -not- get sleep between then and when you need to get up and go. You'll probably be pretty tired by then, but won't have gotten much, if any sleep. So...

Remember, coffee is your friend. Dose late-ish, and when you come down have a small meal(think comfort foods) and lots and lots of coffee. Or a 5-hour energy would be great, between the caffeine, the b vitamins and the citocolene those things have a kick.. You should be good to go. Though your pupils might still be a bit dilated.

 

True. Don't smoke too much because it increases the paranoia. Also the first time I took acid it took me a while to sleep so maybe you will, maybe you won't. You'll be awake enough to do whatever needs doing anyway

 

Smoking is going to make you tired. If you're doing that, maybe dosing earlier, smoking up near the end to help you sleep would work.

I personally advice strongly against mixing drugs your first time on anything. Smoking pot really dulls the affects of LSD a lot. Takes all the edges off. That makes it a bit less harsh, and can be nice, but you lose out on most of the entheogenic affects, the insight, the opening of doors of perception. You really miss out on a lot of the experience that way.

 

sleep doesnt really matter to me....ill most likely just go babysit and sleep since the kid watches tv all day

 

It lasts 24 hours. The peak, no. I, for one still hallucinate the whole way through whether extreme hallucinations or mild. Even after 20 hours I still see vivid patterns, changing colours, the clouds make faces or symbols or are made of letters or hands. I'm speaking from my experience. Maybe you just get shitty acid.

 

Take it while babysitting and watch some trippy cartoons!!!!!!!!!

 

well ill be sure to post my experiences tmrw!

 

My strong recommendation is that you do some reading for yourself. This is a decent place to start http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd.shtml

I'm also guessing this is your first time tripping. Expect it to be very different from smoking weed. Remember it's different for everyone. Personally I feel that the stimulants autumnbreeze mentioned are more than unnecessary. LSD has its own stimulating properties and adding another stimulant to the mix could increase your anxiety. If you smoke weed regularly or even recreationally you may find it helpful to smoke a bit if you're feeling anxious. I would tend to avoid smoking a lot, but a little may help you take the edge off if you're feeling nausea or anxiety.

Make sure you're in a good state mentally. Like you haven't been feeling down or depressed lately and that you're relatively contented. Also, doing it with your friend is a good idea. Try to find a good setting to trip in. A place where you are relaxed and comfortable away from parents and other people. Have some good tunes handy and if you have a good place to go chill outside that's always nice too. Just feel it out and let it take you.

Best of luck to you. I hope you have a great time.

PS: if you're feeling tired post trip, like in the morning before you have to babysit, you'd be fine to have some B vitamins or caffeine then to keep you going. If you have any other questions just ask.

 

If you don't know the strength of the acid, take one and see how it goes. If it's not enough, take the other.

 

ok cool thx alot everyone for helpin me out

 

Actually the most common advice from experienced users in these forums is to clear your calander from ANY responsibilities the day of and the day after.
Contrary to what you have already been told, LSD's effects last 8-12 hours, intesity of trip is dose dependant of course, duration is pretty constant.
It really isn't a very smart thing to take it when you know you have something of importance to do the following day.
If you take it in the early evening, you won't still be tripping ar 6am, but you will be exhausted. Not very responsible action to take it when you have to babysit 12 hours later.
How old is the kid you have to babysit?
Are they at an age where if you fall asleep there is the possibility of the child getting into trouble or hurt? You run the risk of something happening to the kid or at the very least pissing off your girlfriend.

Wait until you have no responsibilities to worry about the day after, especially if you have never done it before and the dosage is an unknown quantity.
If you can't wait until you have a couple of days of no responsibilities to take it, then you fail the responsible drug user test.

Considering the the number of times I've taken from various sources over the past 15 years, this is doubtfully the cause. Most everyone I've talked to, along with the vast majority of the lit agrees the main experience lasts 4-8 hrs, with another 4 hr come down. Though yes, if you don't sleep, there will be some after effects that will basically continue until you do sleep. Seeping for even a couple hrs will make most people baseline.

For Joe: the stimulants I was recommending were for -after-. Ie: taken the next morning, in order to go do stuff. I agree that a frist time user shouldn't take stims with. In fact stims aren't a good idea to take with for most people most times. I don't recommend mixing with -anything- the first time. Though if you are a regular smoker, and the experience gets to be too much, smoking a bit can certainly take the edge off. I just think that doing so right from the get go you lose out on a large portion of the experience.

Though, I actually agree with PB that it would be far better to wait until he's not going to be responsible for a child the next day. He won't really be tripping, but he'll be exhausted. To the OP: are you going to be babysitting alone or will your gf be with you?

 

The information from Sandoz labs about the effects and clinical use;
(side note:notice how small the recomended dose actually is)

Delysid (LSD 25)
D-lysergic acid diethylamide tartrate
Sugar-coated tablets containing 0.025 mg. (25 µg)
Ampoules of 1 ml. containing 0.1 mg. (100 µg) for
oral administration

The solution may also be injected s.c. or i.v. The
effect is identical with that of oral administration
but sets in more rapidly.


PROPERTIES
The administration of very small doses of Delysid (1/2-2 µg/kg body weight) results in transitory disturbances of affect, hallucinations, depersonalization, reliving of repressed memories, and mild neurovegetative symptoms. The effect sets in after 30 to 90 minutes and generally lasts 5 to 12 hours. However, intermittent disturbances of affect may occasionally persist for several days.

METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

For oral administration the contents of 1 ampoule of Delysid are diluted with distilled water, a 1% solution of tartaric acid or halogen-free tap water.
The absorption of the solution is somewhat more rapid and more constant than that of the tablets.
Ampoules which have not been opened, which have been protected against light and stored in a cool place are stable for an unlimited period. Ampoules which have been opened or diluted solutions retain their effectiveness for 1 to 2 days, if stored in a refrigerator.

INDICATIONS AND DOSAGE
a) Analytical psychotherapy, to elicit release of repressed material and provide mental relaxation, particularly in anxiety states and obsessional neuroses.
The initial dose is 25 µg (1/4 of an ampoule or 1 tablet). This dose is increased at each treatment by 25 µg until the optimum dose (usually between 50 and 200 µg) is found. The individual treatments are best given at intervals of one week.
b) Experimental studies on the nature of psychoses: By taking Delysid himself, the psychiatrist is able to gain an insight into the world of ideas and sensations of mental patients. Delysid can also be used to induce model psychoses of short duration in normal subjects, thus facilitating studies on the pathogenesis of mental disease.
In normal subjects, doses of 25 to 75 µg re generally sufficient to produce a hallucinatory psychosis (on an average 1 µg/kg body weight). In certain forms of psychosis and in chronic alcoholism, higher doses are necessary (2 to 4 µg/kg body weight).


Doing any drugs that may cause impairment of any level when you have the responsibility of caring for another person isn't very smart. You may and most likely won't still be feeling the main effects 12 hours later, but will most definitaly NOT be back to baseline in all aspects. Not to mention the fact that there's agood chance that the thought of having to babysit the next day may influence your experience in a negative way.

*2 AM*
justenjoylife111* " OH fuck! I have to be awake in a few hours and babysit. Shit I need to sleep, what was I thinking?! Damn what am I going to do? I not going to be able to babysit."FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!"

just one possible outcome of having major responsibilities looming overhead when you trip.

Take it from an old fart that has been there and done that and has made a LOT of similar mistakes in the past,
WAIT, you will have a much, much better experience if you have no responsibilities on your mind.

 

I was told and have always smoked when peaking on LSD raises ur trip. Am i the only person that thinks this? i have never done acid and not smoked...i really want to try this now. Does anyone have distinct differences between the two? Because the thoughts seem more insightful after i smoke...and the visuals usualy increase in intensity as well...was i lied to for 4 years?!?

 

Nope, you weren't lied to.
Marijuana has a very synergistic effect with most all psychedelics. It does intensify the experience, except at high dose; 250ug+, trips, then more often than not the effects of smoking are pretty much unnoticed. At least that has been my experience.

The only major drawback is that THC does have the tendency to induce paranoia, alone or in combination with other substances. So smoking can increase the chance of an unpleasant experience.

If you have always smoked when on a psychedelic, then you don't really know what LSD is like. Try it without doing any other substance at least once at least to get to know LSD on a first name basis.
