i want to try acid but i afraid of...

thinking about my money problems and girl problems how can i overcome this?

 

if you really have a mind full of problems, then i wouldn't recommend doing a psychedelic until you overcome them in your sober reality. once you have achieved a clear head, then you may proceed on your journey.

however, most people do have some problems. as long as they aren't really serious (only you know what's serious and what's not) then you could still trip. just make sure you don't think about them while the acid is kicking in. mindset is power. also, make sure there's nothing in your environment that will remind you of one of your problems in reality. just don't trip alone and don't do a high dose since it's your first time.

it's all about set and setting

 

basicly everything he said ,wait till a time in your life when your not having any problems and nothing is really worrying you then go for it

 

Money problems and girl problems are basically something that, for most people, never go away. Better get used to them soon lol.
I cant see LSD causing you to become obsessivley anxious over such a normal set of problems that almost everyone goes through. In fact, LSD may even just help you cope and allow you to think of ways to overcome your situation. Unless of course your still getting a handle on life and are overcome by fears of the unknown, in which case I advise you to get more comfortable with yourself and who you are before proceeding into the world of psychedelics.
Besides that, the only problems I've had with LSD and emotional/stress related issues, were in fact problems that I created and the overwhelming feelings of guilt and regret. Having a trip throw all of your own mistakes revolving around selfish motivated actions is no fun but in fact is very useful and, at least I believe, half the reason these revealing drugs exist.
For example, 2 weeks ago I took 4 blotters of fairly potent LSD, and the night before I realized that I was not going to be able to attend my fathers wedding for several reasons, but mainly because I rememberd why I go for years without speaking to him : He is a selfish, very child like and immature person. But then I cant always put blame on other people, and recalled how nasty I was as a child and teenager and how many mistakes I had made in my life, which is half the reason why our relationship is so bad. Well I spent too much of the trip dwelling on my emotions and feeling sorry for myself, and the experience was all but ruined because of my own inability to accept my position in life and relationship with my father and most of my family in the moment.
Basically what Im saying is, unless your still growing into adulthood and have fears of the unknown or are feeling guilty for your own actions, LSD is not going to cause you to have a negative experience based on financial/relationship problems but rather will more than likely help you deal with them. Whatever you decide to do, best of luck to ya.

phllbbt, fuck that. When does an adult NOT have some problem? Its more a matter of clearing your head before the trip. If you can meditate, do that. Once youre fully on, then its good to think about your problems, youll find that you can process thoughts a hundred times quicker than normal. When Im working something over, I often hit walls. It makes it hard to think through a problem, but the fantastic thing about acid is that those walls dissolve, and you cant stop yourself from thinking a thought from start to finish. I dont know if your money problems can be solved through introspection, but youll find that emotional issues will come into a whole new perspective. Just remember that you have to try to find the answers, they wont just come to you.

No one else seems to agree with me on this, but the only way to start with psychedelics is a high dose. think of the way you wade into water. An overly cautious person goes slow, testing the water and acclimating themselves with the temperature. A brave person cannonballs in, knowing that there is nothing there that can hurt them. Low doses are more useful once youve gotten to know the drug well.

 

that's the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. and also a very poor analogy. when a brave person cannonballs in water, there isn't anything that can hurt them. if someone takes a high dose of acid, especially someone who has no psychedelic experience, there is indeed a high chance of becoming mentally unstable which may or may not cause psychological damage. i can't believe you would even recommend this to a newcomer. especially since you apparently have experience with psychedelics.

as with all drugs, the effects are different for everyone who uses them. even more so with psychedelics. many people can't just jump into an intense trip. they have to work their way up and build their mental stability. however, even doing this, each person's mind can only handle so much. some people can drop 1 hit of acid and freak out while others can take an entire 10 strip (assuming they're the same decent potency.) to recommend to someone who's never tried psychedelics that they should start a high dose is retarded and potentially harmful to that person. neither you, nor them, have any clue how much their mind can handle. that high dose could potentially be their last.

 

???

1.2 mg LSD for all initiates.

Then we see who they truly are.

 

^ hahaha nice

...i hope you're kidding?

 

No. I also believe if you're going to dose, to do it right.

You either go all the way, or you microdose.

 

man that's fucking insane me or anyone i know wouldn't take that much if someone paid us

edit: and we have experience. nevermind someone who has none..

 

LSD is the most final fronteer.

Its scary

 

^ meaning...? i never liked star trek lol

 

meaning.. everyone with 'experience' has likely had a horribly bad trip. Its part of 'it all'. It makes us stronger. It also makes our foundations a tad psycho

 

yeah i'd say most bad trips make us stronger but i still refrain from having them. i mean i wouldn't recommend a high dose to a newcomer so they can have a bad trip lol that's kinda retarded. sure it has potential to be ultimately beneficial but who the hell wants to have a bad trip? and like...it's not always beneficial...if the trips bad enough it could just flat out fuck someone up

 

Environment . .

 

hey i dont reccomend takin a huge dose first time but as for being precious about stepping into the water.. i dont think its worth as much as a splash

 

Tripped around 100 times. Never had a bad trip.

 

Oh dear.

I detect a high degree of prime bullshit in this thread.
Either that, or it looks like Wutthe4k is being played..

 

thinking about your problems isn't an issue while tripping... I think it's a good idea to think about your problems some when tripping. I typically try to ask questions about my problems, gain insights to help me sober. Although I find mushrooms or cactus are better for that. Cause LSD never seemed very exploratory to me in the same way mushrooms are, LSD gives you way more control, so when I do LSD its more like time to get down to business on what I want done with what I've already figured out before-hand.

 

My only experience with psilocybe mushrooms ended in a mental looping trail of disaster. I thought insanity had dawned, and was here forwever. This was before encountering LSD.
Now, after being well acquainted with Hofmann's wonder child, I would very much like re-entry to the mushroom world.. and use them productively rather than thinking it's all going to be fun and games and getting carried away with the giggles... using that point of mental breakdown in a completely different way and utilizing the psychological effect as opposed to trying to get away from it.
