While they're asleep...

Hey, i think i'm ready to try acid. I've been smoking the reefer for almost a year now, and i really wanna trip. I was thinking about trying shrooms first. I like to keep things in order kind of, like pot then stronger is shrooms and then acid. I hear mushrooms totally fry your brain though. I think i can get ahold of some LSD, and i was wondering if any thinks i'd be ok doing it alone in my room (in the basement) while my parents sleep. I've done alot of research so i know what to expect my body to feel and stuff, course you can never really prepare for a trip. I figured if i do it 9:30 and my parents are in bed, i'd start to "go under" at like...10 and then 8 hours later is 6, when i'm getting ready for school so i'll be ok if time works out that way. Is doing it in my room a bad idea? It's my first time

just curious...what do you mean about mushrooms frying your brain? from my expirience id say acid is more of a mindfuck.

btw expect to trip longer than 8 hours....more like 12 if you've ingested quality dose.

 

I've never had a mushroom trip last over 8 hours, even with high intensity...though I'd make alternate plans in case you're still too "out there" to make sober in class.

Otherwise, you should be fine; mushrooms are a good place to start when tripping, and if you feel more comfortable alone then you'll be better off tripping alone.

 

The best scenario would be to have the next day off. No school, job or other things to to attend to.
And you are sure you are comfortable with being so close to your parents? But hey, if its in the basement i guess it will be fine.

 

Hah, yea do it on a friday or saturday when you dont have school the next day, you might have some good acid and still be tripping when you goto school the next day

 

haha pupals would be so damn huge in school, i wouldn't wanna do acid bymysel i would probebly go insane

 

some of my best trips have been alone

 

Thanks for all the replies, i think i'm gonna do Mushrooms or Acid, depending on what kids at school say. I'll probably do it on a Friday afternoon... so i wont have school the next day. It'll be good, i dont get really paranoid with my parents around when i'm stoned, so i dont think i should get freaked out at all if i'm trippin in the basement and they're 2 stories above me. thanks everyone, i can't wait to try one or the other.

 

I'll go ahead and give you some REALLY good advice; the "kids at school" are NOT a reliable source of information...you're better off getting info from a DARE pamphlet.

If you haven't already, I recommend doing some research at Erowid.

 

Wow. Don't ever listen to the kids in school, especially at 15 years old. Kids when I was that young were telling me mushrooms are the worst drug; LSD stays in your brain forever, taking LSD 4 times classifies you as legally insane, whatever legal insanity is. It's pretty safe to say that no one at your school will know jack shit about the 'facts' they pull out of their asses. So do your mind, body, and self a favor by looking up all the information yourself from a reputable source.

 

lol ya, i remeber in middle school once, hearing that one in three people that eat mushrooms dies.

 

It's most likely the reason for all these urban legends having so much staying power; and of course kids these days are turned on by the thought of being dangerous...it's "cool" to "eat roll pills with heroin in 'em" or "eat acid that makes your brain bleed". Teen angst combined with 40-year-old anti-drug propaganda and a need to fit in can really skew accurate information.

 

i actually ment asking what they thought about doing it in my room.. lol i have done tons of research at erowid too.

 

You'll be fine in your room...make sure to stock up on good music, as that's the main catalyst for tripping, IMO. Drop your acid, crank up the music and lay back...otherwise outside stimulii isn't necessary.

If you don't find the music you normally listen to as attractive as while you're tripping, give a visit to the Psychedelic Experience forum and check under the music threads.

 

The advice from 2cesarewild is basic bullshit. Have a sitter, if it's your first time. That is, if it's decent acid. It's not like MJ or mushrooms. Do some meditation first. Relax, and just go into it. If you do it right, you'll be changed forever. And that's a good thing. Just a couple tips from someone who started in 69.

 

How is my advice bullshit? You're 51 and think a kid in high school should listen to other 15 year olds in high school about doing drugs? Wow, real responsible pal.

 

can you control yourself pretty mcuh while tripping or can u find yourself doing some pretty stupid stuff form time to time?

 

Can you control yourself normally? Do you lose control often? If the answer to the first one was yes, and the second one no, there is a pretty good chance you will be ok. However, drugs are drugs, they change you. That is why a lot of people recommend a sitter. But, you're only 16 and I can't remember what I was even like back then, and I didn't dose either.

 

im pretty quiet and reserved....i think i could keep myself in line. i just wouldnt want any passers by to see me going wild in a park when im tripping.

 

I am sorry, and do apologize. Your advice is very good indeed. A case of mistaken identity.

I meant to say that eat_some_LSD's advise is not the advise I would give a first-timer. I would not advise taking a healthy dose (>150mcg, mpore or less) and sit alone in your room. I feel it would be much better to have an experienced sitter (guide) who knew what was happening, and could help your 1st trip be a happy and productive one. It might even be helpful for your sitter to take half the amount you are thinking about, so that you will be in similar headspaces.

2cesarewild, I am glad you caught my mistake. The last thing I want to do is disseminate faulty info. Thanks for helping me keep on the real and truthful road to personal nirvana. Peace be unto you and yours.
