so first time trying lucy tonight!

hey guys, i was looking for some advice on how to prepare myself for trying acid the first time!
i have been wanting to do this for a very long time and since lastnight i've been thinking more and more about it and how i should prepare myself for it.. i'll be with my boyfriend whom i live with and 2 close friends. all of them have done it many times befor and said i'll be fine and have a great time. im only anxious about the negative effects. i tend to over think things in reality all ready so i dont know if i might over look things when im on my trip.. if that makes any sence? my bf told me i have to keep in mind that none of it is actually real and everything just looks a little different than what you see in real life. also that the next day everything looks so dull and boring..
i guess im really only asking how should i mentaly prepare myself for this i've been talking to a few ppl about it and they all say i'll have alot of fun.

Dont prepare. Its a drug, just like weed but with hallucinogenic qualities.

But remember. It is a hallucinogen and if u treat it like weed it may take away from the high, i make that mistake when I eat mushmellows.

Be ready to let go. Understand that your state of mind will be highly altered. Have you tried any other psychedelics? have you smoked pot? It lasts 8-12 hours to be ready for a long ride, it will last all night. Make sure you have no responsibilities the next day. Remember that everything you are seeing, feeling and thinking is coming from your own mind, so if its bothering you, don't freak out and try to run away, because you can't. You have to confront it. Your own your mind, it does not own you.

 

Have fun.

 

thank you! that helps and oh i have smoked alllot of pot and the only time i have ever had a negative effect from that was when my friends and i used a volcano, and i was trapped inside an elevator.everything was black and white and i thought my friend was about to pass out. that was also the only time i had ever experienced a visual effect from any drug. but i had totally laughed about it after.and only effect i have ever had from pot was relaxing or super giggly. also ate a cookie once, that just made me feel out of balance but still happy. defiantly would do it again!

anyways so correct me if im wrong but does it sorta brings out other ways to look at things in your mind ? and then you pretty much just have to deal with it? also i've heard if you focus on something for too long, you lose yourself in it and have to distract yourself by doing something else or looking at something else.. is that true?
thanks again in advance!

 

Everytime a new friend tries LSD I always tell them, don't try and find what its going to be like, because people can tell you this and that, but in my honest opinion, you wont fully understand until you have done it.

Some things I have picked up you might be interested in,

Keep fruit around, strawberries I find to be the best food in the world. Meats don't taste right on LSD.

Music is great, most people I know who trip (myself included) are a big fan of M83, here is one of their most famous songs

Your going to get lost within your own mind, thats just going to happen. Dont let that scare you in anyway, cause it is a good thing. I have never had a bad trip, even situations I didnt like.

Your vision will be altered, and things will change around you. It will last you all night, and like said the next day make sure nothing is planned, you will probably just be exhausted.

As you can tell from my signature, this is my favorite drug in the entire world. But for me, i found it best not to prepare a lot, or worry to much. Just let it take you where it takes you, because you will have a great time. Dont be scared, your boyfriend is there, and he has done it before. It will be great.

 

hey,

I'll say it one more day - it needs to be said,because it's not the way you are used to react to a situation/stimulus on your senses: everything is in your head. Sober, you can (normaly) trust your eyes, your nose, your hears, and to a certain extent your thoughts. LSD works through you. You are the receptacle. So if you start having scary thoughts/visions, just step back, breath and remember that it's in your mind, that you're on LSD, and laugh about it.
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. My mind is full of monsters that tend to come out too quickly. Just step back, and relax.

Oh, and if that can make you feel better: no one ever died of LSD. It's not a deadly drug. Not like alcohol, for example (alcohol poisoning).

 

getting lost in your mind.


just frrryyyyyyyyy

or go outside and experience the world. or fingerpaint. do literally WHATEVER you feel like doing - within reason...though your reasoning will be altered, that's part of the fun too.

you seem sensible enough to be questioning it, and if those that know you think you will be okay, just go with it, don't focus on anything that gives you a weird vibe, float on.

 

ah interesting ok well awesome guys! thanks so much! i'll let you know how it goes later on

 

Lots of good advice in this thread. I'm just going to restate something that was resonating with me in my trip last night. You cannot know anything about how this experience will be until you are in the middle of it. Even after tripping many times I still have no idea what the next trip is going to be like.

 

Best of luck, post a trip report when it's all done and overwith!

 

OP, how'd it go?

I think your boyfriend might have given poor advice, to a degree. But you seem to have gone in generally right in the head about it.
