I keep thinking about the bad...

So I'd love to do LSD. It sounds like a great thing, which can improve my life. Not nessecarily always, but I know it can. but I doubt I'd get my hands on any until college, but thats kind of besides the point. I've done so much research on this drug, reading, and talking to you guys and just reading about what you guys say. Yet whenever I ask myself, 'do I REALLY want to take LSD now?' the answer is always 'NO!' I keep thinking I'm going to get overwhelmed, way too overwhemled, be extremely uncomfortable, and have all of this for 8 hours straight. I'm not really saying 'I'm gonna have a bad trip' but not a good one. on a scale from 1 to 10, ten being an amazing positive trip, 1 being ..the opposite, I think I'll just get a 5. that I'm just gonna not be ready and fuck up.

anyone else feel like this, and what did you do? or any advice..?

 

i've known people like you. really there is nothing to worry about.

i'd recomend trying a small dose to start off with. like a 1/2 hit, or 1 hit if you have low potency blotters. you won't really 'trip' but it will give you a good idea of what it is going to be like to trip, and will more than likely give you a really good feeling about it. then a few weeks later try an all out dose.

i know a few people who have done this, and it seems like the confidence gained from the first 1/2 hit trip shines through into the real 'first' trip and makes it a much better experience.

 

Let me just tell you this. The first 3 times I did LSD, I had what I considered consistent 10s. Just balls to the walls amazing tripping, some powerful insights into myself and my friends, and a great respect for lucy.

Then I upped my dose.

Those "10"s I thought i was experiencing were more like 5's. Maybe not even.

And when I up my dose again, my 10 will again drop to 5 or less.

My point is that it's an infinite continuum of experience, not a 1-10 scale. It's not. Throw that out of your mind at once. If you go into LSD trying to box the experience into a mere integer measuring stick you are gonna be very surprised at how effortlessly that stick snaps in half.

Don't worry.

You'll be ok.

You'll be ok.

Seriously . . . you'll be ok.

Don't think of it as a drug experience in which you risk 8 hours of terror . . . think of it more like falling in love with your soul mate.

If I told you, tomorrow you will meet your soul mate, fall in love with them, and through an amazing series of events that you will fondly tell to your friends and children and children's children spend the rest of your life with her . . . . would you be ok with that?

That's the scope of the LSD experience. I'm not saying LSD will be your new love. I'm saying a powerful dose of LSD is as life-shattering as meeting your soulmate and falling in love.

Everything changes.

Everything.

If you're not ready for that, you're not ready for it.

 

if you are really 15, then my suggestion to you is to hold off on trying acid until you are older, more mature, and have a more reasonably developed mind.

at 15, you are still growing up. Making the transition from childhood to being an adult is hard enough without psychedelic chemicals thrown into the mix. Enjoy your youth, and don't be in a rush to grow up man.

 

wow, never heard of it being compared to meeting your soulmate before. but that is an excellent analogy.

 

It is their level of intensity which is similar. LSD is one of the most intense things a human being can do on this earth.

 

well duurr.

I'm thinking about taking when I'm 18 or so as a 'passage'
I agree, when youre 15, it's not going to be as amazing. or as meaningful.

but taking LSD doesn't mean you turn into some stern adult. it gives you a different look on life. You can definatley keep your childhood. I think. I am in absolutely no rush to grow up.

 

thanks so much guys

 

It's not that it won't be amazing at 15, it's that it might destroy you. And trust me you will be more in touch with your inner child than ever.
