- All First Time Questions Thread -

You sound like you have a healthy approach to weed. I'm not quite sure what you're asking about acid though.

Do you mean work your way up slowly with altered states? Or with LSD? Because nearly everyone will suggest your first time with lucy be a decent dose, in the 150-200ug range. I am not of the group that insists that your first time be crazy strong, but I'd highly suggest you don't "work your way up".

 

Watch out for that, you only think differently.

You sound like you've got your head screwed on okay, and would probably really enjoy a trip.. but out of curiosity, how old are you?

I don't think it matters how you do them or in which order, it's how you deal with it afterwards. Just be aware of anything that you might not have previously done, and whether you're bullshitting yourself just to smoke that next joint, which is more than happy to wait. Same goes for trips. I've only tripped about 11 times in my life, but I can honestly look back and tell you that at least 7 of them were just for the sake of it - even though I wanted to get something out of them(have done, but nothing of real value - just slight perspective changes), prepared for them and all that.. it was essentially because I had a spare day and didn't wanna do any work.

You won't enjoy weed any less, it's very probable you'll enjoy it even more because once you've tripped, you realise how psychedelic weed actually is.

Final advice.. if you're really not sure about using psychedelics then I'd wait until you're sure. There's no rush, and the build up could add to the experience. Either way, enjoy

 

I am 17. And I really don't think I am tricking myself just to get high again. It has been over a year since the first time I smoked. I really like to space them out. In a way, saving my weed for later knowing that I can get high when the time is right is just as satisfying as actually being high.

I am absolutely positive I want to trip at least once in my life, probably several times, I just don't want the feeling to be so foreign that I don't even fully enjoy it. But at this point I am pretty sure I am going for it this weekend.

Anyway, obviously an acid trip is a lot longer than a weed high. So what does one do for food? I don't feel comfortable driving and interacting with the public too much while tripping my first time. Do you get hungry like on weed? Will food taste better? Will I forget to eat if I don't pay close attention or anything?

 

Oh I didn't mean to say you were tricking yourself, but it's easy to do.
Your first trip will be interesting, but doesn't mean to say it'll be the best. Trips vary incredibly depending on where you are, who you're with and what state of mind you're in.

Definitely do not be driving. People have done it and a few people brag about it.. but it's fuckin' stupid and you get no medals for it. Walking around in public isn't as weird as you may think, but a walk outside is definitely recommended when you're coming up.

The eating is all down to preference, a lot of people fast before the trip just so as much of the good stuff hits your system as possible.. but I know a lot of my friends munch a load down beforehand.. mainly cos they're already stoned and are on harsh munchies, but to be honest I haven't really noticed a difference.. but on paper, not eating beforehand will give you a stronger trip.

Whilst you're tripping, get some fruit! the shit's a taste sensation meaty things are a bit weird.. just seem to have a really strange texture and I can't say I'm the biggest fan - but I cooked some bacon once on a fire when I was coming up on LSA, and the smokey flavour from the fire was pretty cool but nothing to write home about.

Honestly though, you really don't need to worry about a lot. If you forget to eat you forget to eat, nothing bad happens besides noticing you're a bit hungry once the trip starts to ease back into sobriety, and you're more than capable of walking to the fridge and picking something out anyway.

Enjoy though dude, come back with a trip report for us

 

I've smoked weed, taken molly, done shrooms, and I today I bought acid for the first time. I was going to have a friend come over and do it with me, and then another friend was going to sober-sit but they both ended up not being able to make it. My plan was to just chill in my room, listen to music, write, draw, paint, watch a movie, and just talk. I'm debating on whether or not I should do it alone? I have some friends online who would stay up with me and talk to me in case I get worried. I live at home, and my whole family is home but I was tripping on shrooms with three friends in the living room and they didn't notice. They'll all be in bed anyways. Just wanted to get some input! Thanks!

 

If you can handle shrooms alone you most likely can handle LSD, Just realize that you very well could be in a trip for 10+ hours with acid. Make sure you are comfortable with your setting, if possible I'd recommend exploring the outdoors as well.

 

Hello all, I'm very interested in doing acid and this weekend going to camp with friends and family. I will be with two of my cousins one tripping and one sober to keep us in line. My plan was to drop it at around 11pm when all the adults are smashed and not worried about us I will be confined to one room for most of the night with my cousins listening to music and talking and what not and around 6 am can leave the house to explore some nature and what not and to hopefully help myself coming down. My only worry is that I will be tripping hard at 9-10am whenever the other people there are starting to wake up. I have been smoking marijuana for 2 years heavily for 1 and can fully function around my parents and whatnot immediately after smoking if needed but will I be able to control myself (I dont need to be all myself I wont be interviewed or anything just straight enough for the usual good morning small talk and all that bullshit) on acid 8-10 hours after taking it without any sleep? Also I am pretty confident in my cousin to keep me calm and that after I take it I wont be bothered by any undesirable people(parents aunts uncles) but will the fact that they are still present in area be enough to give me a bad trip? Also, from what Ive seen alot of people like to trip during the day is it a bad idea to do it at night and stay up all night tripping especially first time, it just seems like during the day I would feel as if someone is going to try and contact me with something important and ill be to far out to comprehend.P.S If anyone knows a good music playlist for my adventure please share

 

I personally find it exhausting and demanding to trip at night if I have not had adequate rest the day before. If you are going to trip at night, nap the day before and be well-rested. At the 8-10 hour mark on acid, you will not be so fucked-up that you cannot make small talk etc. This is definitely the come-down or trailing-off phase on LSD, and if you are capable of "maintaining" on weed, then seeing others and putting on an act will not be too difficult when you are on the 8th or 9th hour of LSD.

Be safe and trip well.

I find great tripping music to include: jazz, and world music, especially indian ragas. Enjoy and be enlightened.

 

Nvm.

 

Wait a week

 

I am going to try acid for the first time maybe when the school holidays are over so I can spend more time with my friend.
He will be tripsitting with me, and although he doesn't have any experience with LSD he has played around A LOT with DXM.
-How can I make the trip more vivid/great/notscary.
-And will I lose my perception of reality? Or will I just see it "in a new light"
-Should I take two blotters or one?
I have never tripped on psychedelics before and I would like to know these things.

 

--Take in a setting where you are comfortable. Have at hand a VARIETY (you need to be able to choose if you want to...not be locked in by your pre-planning) of things that yo love and/or make you feel comfortable--music, objects, etc.
--More like the second, although at times the hallucinatory visuals can be so engrossing that it's hard to see around it. You will not completely lose touch with consensual reality.
--Do you know anyone who has taken blotters from the same batch? Learn about how strong they are if you can and decide your dose on that basis. There is no standardization of tab strength.

Is your friend truly "tripsitting" (not taking any of the drug himself)m or will he be tripping also? He should be aware that LSD is very different from DXM. They are NOT the same kind of psychoactive compound and their effects are very very different.

 

^ Agree with that except I'd reccommend taking two blotters. Dealers and people often overestimate the amount of acid on the hits they sell, if it does happen to be dosed generously... Consider yourself lucky.

 

Okay, here is the deal, We have a day off on friday. my dad is going to work and my sister is going out with friends all day. so heres my plan, SWIM (google it if your confused) want to wake up around 6 am and drop some acid. my dad will leave around 8:00 but wont bother me thinking that im asleep. He gets back around 5:00 or 6:00. My question is if i will be able to interact with him just a little bit to say that im not feeling well and going to take a nap/ go to bed in my room. opinions?
will he notice?
how big will my pupils be?
tips on how to have a succesful trip?
basically im trying to get a more personal opinion to compare to the rediculous amounts of scientific fact ive read online.

also If you think that me tripping alone is a bad idea please weigh in, because i could get my friend who is an experienced shroomer to come over. I would perfer not to because I am madly in lover with her and i have a girlfriend (thts a differnt story) but if you belive i MUST i will. please no anti drug speeches. I have done weeks of research and have made the decision on what drugs i believe are reasonable for me to take, so Im doubting that your five minute response is going to change my mind. Im old enough to vote for your fututre, so i think im old enough to control mine. thanks so much guys sorry its so long

 

Any chance of doing it when your house is completely free? or camping? or something?

 

Never a good idea. Even what you have is LSD, it could be strong, and you could actually have, I don't know, a strong LSD trip, and maybe not be in the best place to be around parents even many hours later. If you are unlucky and were sold DOx or something you'll be tripping hard still when he gets home.

Don't ever rush or force a psychedelic trip.

 

this one time I went fishing.. so I figure its a nice time to trip and fish my day away. looks like its gonna rain, but maybe not rain.. man made reservoir type place, lakes all over.

so I park pretty close the place Im going to fish, I can listen to my radio in my car. woot trippy.. I can get naked this place , nobody out here,.. ya..

now what looks like rain, gonna be rain. Ok rain I like rain Im tripping.. ya..

Ok its raining really hard now and its like time to get in car and hide out rain. Trippy.. ya..

tripping pretty good. whats this?? the level of the lake is getting higher,, Or Im tripping.. ya..

Ok the level of the lake is getting much higher, its coming up to the car now.. this not good for trippy experience..

I must go now, this is dangerous. tripping driving not recommended but I cant play noahs ark at this time.

I drive the way I come in and whoa and behold, the levee is now covered, I must drive over the levee that is now covered with moving water tripping .. I dont believe the water is that high over the land,. but I think the water is really really high..

Ok Moses here we go.. once I was on the other side,, Im about 100% positive I masturbated.. or I waited a little and then masturbated and continued my trippy journey on the other side, the stars out there were phenomenal ..

I didnt drive any further.. but ya never know whats going to happen ..

 

^^^lol I can totaly relate O' buddy, I've been caught in a flood tripping and had to drive through dangerous over-spillage too. I wrote about it once on HF back a-ways.

 

Hi, so I'm going to be trying acid with my boyfriend for the first time and I was just wondering how in control of your speech you are when you take it. The one thing that's worrying me is that I'm going to say something bad or stupid, so I just need to know if I'll be able to control myself when I talk or stop myself before saying something stupid, or if I'm likely to spout the first thing that pops into my head whether I like it or not Thanks!

 

Lower doses you'll be able to control your speech fairly easy sans maybe some short term memory impairment (less so than pot). Higher doses you may ramble more and have a lot of disjointed, tangenital type thoughts and speech, you may have some profound insights and words as well. Just as likely you may go through long intervals of time of not speaking much at all and internalizing the experience.
