WARNING! ADVICE THREAD!!! Me and a friend have secured 4 hits of acid (2 each) and we plan to trip on tuesday of next week. We will be hanging out in a local park with a friend who will be tripping shrooms. This being my first time tripping (on anything) id like to know if anyone has advice on the first trip, i.e., what to bring, what to do, who to be with, tips for avoiding bad trips, ext. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Oh, i forgot to mention that we'll be smoking weed and cigs... let me know if thats a bad call. btw, cigs fuck me up (sloppy drunk feeling) cause i hardly ever smoke them
don't bother smoking weed. i feel like i never get high from weed when i'm tripping, probly having to do with psychedelic tolerance. i always feel like smoking a cig when i'm tripping cause i'm a regular smoker but i can never actually smoke the cig but i love holing a burning cig between my fingers when i'm tripping. as long as your ready for it then you'll have a good trip, it's all about mind set. there's no such thing as a bad trip unless you think there is. bring music, maybe some cool art, enjoy being outside, enjoy nature, enjoy life, enjoy your tripp
oh man yeah. i love smoking cigs when I'm tripping. greatest cigs. to avoid getting "sloppy drunk" off your cigs, smoke them slowly. it is great just holding a cig and watching the smoke while tripping, as buddha said. but it is also great inhaling tobacco smoke while tripping, so don't just light em and hold em. however, if you look down and you have a huge ash hanging off your cig, don't sweat it, happens to all of us as far as toking, i'd have to disagree with buddha somewhat. i say don't bother with the pot until hour 6 or 7, or whenever you're feeling a little burnt from the 'cid (ie coming down) then i love toking. good way to slowly end the trip. but that's just my opinion. just go into it with an open mind. i'm sure you're looking foward to it a lot, so you should be in a good mood. if you go into a trip while in a bad mood "you're gonna have a bad time." and remember, when in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream.
one suggestion. listen to the doors first album, especially the chrystal ship and the end. another song i love is number 9 on the white album into good night. it's perfect you should experience psychedelic music while on acid, don't waste it. also, listen to the music that you enjoy the most
^to add to that: A Day in the Life. I totally forgot about the end when I was listening to it on 'cid once, freaked me out for a second.
you may want to smoke during the come up, not always necessary, but sometimes speeds up the peak...but as buddha said smoking is not necessary---you may also want to smoke at the end to keep the trip goin a little bit, smoking is always nice on the come down bad trips are rare, that being said know yourself, and if shit begins to get negative, use whatever control you have left to steer your mind off the things you are thinking about...and know that you will return to sanity...though it shouldn't be a probelm...especially if you are around chill people that you love. acid feeds off of energy. music is key, but if you are outside i am sure natrue will provide you with some great music what to bring, whenever i trip whether it be at a festival, a friends house, a park, or my house...i like to have everything i could possibly need and or want, so i generally over pack. i'd bring a backpack with anything you might want water, perhaps some toys, things that look/feel weird...but to be honest the acid is all you will truly need in terms of "toys", NOT to say acid is a toy, but your mind will suffice. i suggest colorful/trippy clothing, and comfort above all...if it's at night and could be cool, bring a jacket. gummies that have liquid filling are awesome, pop rocks, FRUIT...for the end of the trip can all be nice have fun man all you really need is mental preparation :cheers2:
definitely smoke after you drop the acid. it will put your mind in a psychedelic state and ease you into the trip
ooooooooooooh in your mouth, i'm an idiot it depends, i like to have it under my tongue for a good while as well...i may do it excessively, but i usually leave it in my mouth for like 15 mins before swallowing it, that is if its blotter
Thanks for the advice, ill be sure to check in right before my trip for any post after this so if youve got more id love to hear it
I would have to say, make sure you're around good people, friend people that you love hangin with. I personaly think it's good to go outside and walk around, chill go smoke somewhere, cigs or bud, bud before you start trippin is a must, for me anyway. I didn't like smokeing cigs while trippin cuz it made this big glob of stuff/whatever in the back of my throat, I hated it. I guess that's just some general stuff that I can think of right now. I don't wanna go into any of my actual experiances though cuz that would just take too long.
Maybe it get's in your system faster if you hold it in your mouth, but ultimately I don't think it makes much difference.
Im going to be the debbie downer to make a comment about your choice of location. Your friend on shrooms will trip for 5 hours (ish) and you could be tripping for 12 (probably more like 6-8) Is this park ok to be there this long in public on lots of drugs? Do you have a way to leave the park if things get uncomfterble when your tripping? Do you have a safe comfterble place to go?
