Dropping acid while sick

I'm currently getting over a pretty rough summer cold (that's what they tell me, I think it was something more like short duration gamma ray exploding death AIDS)

But I was thinking about dropping some acid in the very near future. Thing is I have a feeling my physical discomfort/pain is gonna spin me out into a bad trip. I remember once before I even tripped I was with some friends smoking weed. One of them ate some chocolate muchrooms when he was just starting to get sick (didn't even realize it until the next day) and he spent is whole trip curled up in the corner of my room grunting and not talking to anyone. It was kinda funny actually, but not for him .

But yeah, as of right now I have an earache, a stiff and sore neck, swollen lymph nodes, and a headache, thouge all moderate to mild by this point and I'll probably feel better tomorrow, though I doubt I'll be 100%.

What do you guys honestly think? I'm pretty fucking good at solidering myself through rough patches of a hard trip, but just with this lingering sickness I'm not sure if it'll be a good idea.

 

Just keep a positive attitude and you'll be A-OK

A week ago I tripped for the first time after bad tripping so bad I shat my pants. On top of that I was feeling sick and just stepped off a plane and hadn't showered for two days. I went a bit wonky for about an hour and almost lost hold but I was fine when I calmed myself down and walked around and spoke to people.

Just keep it together solider!

 

If your ok with it, youll be ok.

I was REALLY sick once, flu, feaver, body aches, serious cough, so stuffed I couldent breathe or stop coughing up flem. We had gotten some window pains and I wasnt sure if I wanted to trip feeling like that. Everyone was gonna wait till I felt better, but I didnt want to make everyone wait.
I made up my mind that Id be ok and did it. Turned out to be some of the strongest acid Id ever had in my life. Had a great trip, and the best part was I came out of it feeling almost 100% better.

 

Is it mandatory that you have to do it so soon? Like do you have plans to go somewhere on a particular day or are you tripping with people that are not going to be in town the following week?

I've never tripped on LSD sick but I've done Ecstasy sick before and it may not even effect the trip that much but it may make your syptoms worse afterwards. Unless you have some circumstance where the original plan of the trip has to be done on a certain day, I would wait. People always stress set and setting, being sick factors into the set element.

 

That's just because staying up so long fucks your immune system, silly goose

 

Just respect your body and mind and LSD. Feel the answer . . . is it time to trip? Or time to rest?

 

Honestly, if you think you can hold out 'til you feel better I'd do that. It sounds like you have a significant cold too, not just a mild one. If you're concerned feeling shitty will lead to a bad trip, there's a good chance it will. I've tripped when I had just gotten over a cold. The trip went fine, but afterward my cold came back. I think it was due to the stress a trip has on the body and not sleeping a night. My advice is to wait, but if you don't do a little extra mental preparation to keep your head straight.

 

Set may not be perfect, but setting is all taken care of. ZI'm pretty sure I'm gonna go for it.

All that worried me is that one memory of a friend who ate shrooms while sick and turned to a quivering fixture in my corner for a few hours. lmao

i felt bad for him, but there was really nothing I could do so I just left him alone, sparked up a couple blunts and watched TV till he stop acting like a little bitch. Just let him ride it out without bothering him. But that was shrooms, the more I think about it, I'm confident I'll be fine.

I've also been in a pretty dark spot emotionally latly, so I'm hoping the trip will help me get some perspective. But I've found it's never a certianty that a psychedelic trip is going to offer any profound insight.

I'll let you know how it went down later

 

Sounds like you have a plan. Best of luck! Keep us posted.

 

Wait is this your first time on acid?

"a friend who ate shrooms while sick and turned to a quivering fixture in my corner for a few hours."

LOL been there

 

Wait for a day you feel surprisngly good and healthy (and that you can go this way for 12+ hours). Then trip. Stay away from what makes you feel sick. Like Writer said, just listen to your body and mind.

 

I ate it once before, years ago. It hasn't been around again untill now.

The weird thing is after I took it the first time I decided to take a break. now i decided to take a break and it showed up again

 

Years ago, I once got sick a right after taking acid, and it wasn't that good an experience. I was coughing a lot and couldn't really figure out how to, in a way...and threw up a little because I was coughing incorrectly if that makes any sense at all. Watering eyes, coughing....it made my mind focus on my physical body too much.

More recently I took some 2ci and then had a bug that eventually hit everyone else in the house. I definitely threw up that time...and felt like shit. I thought it was the 2ci until I got brave enough to give it a second chance.

 

I've been thinking about tripping tonight, but I'm wondering if my very minor cold (nose is a bit stuffy when I wake up) and I have an itchy back of throat.

My nose isn't running profusely and I don't have a cough or anything. Should I be alright? Or should I save it?

 

You should save it but I think you'd be alright.

 

I think you should wait until you feel better. Listen to Mr. Writer...but you're gonna do what you're gonna do. Either way I hope you have fun I tripped on shrooms one time while sick. My gf and I made shroom tea; the tea was special herb blend cough and cold (all natural). It was a great trip and I didn't feel sick anymore! What a great time! I think too many people worry about a bad trip. If you feel it; you feel it and if you don't want to don't; ya know. Good luck have fun....get better soon

 

i tripped while i was sick recently (head cold) and i think it dulled my trip because i had the stuffy nose and coughing up phlegm, i want to be 100% rested and healthy when i trip, its just one less thing to worry about

 

Word, i think I'm gonna drop in a couple hours if I still feel fine as I do now.

It's just the little tickle and some drippy nose. but i feel good

 

I ate an 8th of mushrooms when I had a really bad cold. I found a strange new appreciation for the biological processes that are me. I was really impressed that my body was going to these great lengths to rid myself of the sickness and was in awe at the whole process. It was a good trip. I was fully recovered 2 days later.

 

I'm not doing any huge amount either. Just a tab, hopefully it'll be substantial though...and hopefully my roommates don't come back retarded drunk tonight
