URGENT!! help me talk my friend down???

You've got to be very sensitive with people who are freaking out on acid. In my opinion, drugs like valium should only be used as an absolute last resort - I mean if someone is freaking out physically or something like that. Often, a person can pass through several phases on a trip, not all of them necessarily pleasant - it can be that buried issues etc. can come up. Environmental cues are very significant. The best advice to someone on acid generally is to relax, go with the flow - just let it happen - observe. Music is one of the best suggestions.

 

what kind of idiot jumps on the internet and posts shit when ther bud is freakin out?

 

try B vitamins they react with acid in the blood stream and help neutralize the lysergic acid

 

the kinda bud that want to 'really' help but,dont know how to!

 

I'm really glad your friend is ok! I've also been put in that situaiton and it can be quite scary. Good job!

What kind of idiot are you to not care?

 

have him lay down and make sure he knows your there

 

I've been on both sides of this issue. I've only had about 2 what I would call bad experiences. These experiences were generally made unpleasant by factors in my immediate environment. Bright lights, loud music, people arguing in the room, etc. On one occasion I lost all sense of body. I literally melted into a chair. Almost an out of body experience. I drank a few beers, and it kind of brought me back. It didn't kill the trip, just calmed things down somewhat. So from then on, I always had a supply of beer handy when I tripped to smooth out the edginess. I can't recommend that for everybody, because it can cause stomach upset, and vomiting while tripping can be pretty unpleasant. But it worked for me. The person who mentioned niacin was right on the money, though. LSD depletes your brain of niacin rather quickly, and that has to be replaced.

 

Feel free to unsticky this whenever.

 

This is what Disney Movies were made for....just plop him down infront of "Robin Hood" or "The Black Cauldron". Gots to be old school movies, like pre 1990. The new ones have to much morality in them to really bring someone down.....

Or, get some plexiglass and some Markers......good times all around.

 

Just whatever you do, do NOT park the guy in front of a Dr. Seuss book.

This SAME guy did the same thing again with the same friends, and this time they told him he was actually dead and they were giving him another half hour on Earth before taking him to hell.

When he finally sobered up from that, he went after them with a lead pipe.

 

im from Virginia Beach, virginia, and i have been looking for acid now for about a year, and have had no success in doing so. everyone around here seems to bullshit. I know my shit, i know more about acid then the guy that invented it. i do my homework, but i never am able to get my hands on it. Someone please tell me where i can get it around here. you would be a life saver!

 

i remember once, at a party, a friend ate a lot of acid, and thought he was an orange and everybody was tryin' to peel & eat him ...my god, that was a laugh...

 

What, was it one of those urban myths parties? I hear those are the bee's knees!

 

Wow, I'm glad I read this sticky. Very informative.

What I got:

-Just be calm. They'll be calm if you're calm.
-Calm ENVIRONMENT for the win.
-Don't give more drugs. That's just dumb. You don't know what that could do.

And...that's boogans's insight for the day.

 

Okay, now everybody stop posting on this topic, its been more than covered in four pages of posts.

From a physical standpoint, 1,000-2,000 mgs. of NIACIN and NIACINAMIDE (non skin-flushing version) is recommended, according to the article: "LSD is a fancy, suped-up sports car", from the website: www.brainmachines.com/lsd.html. This same article mentions that vitamin C is used to mellow and soften the effects of LSD, but should be given 2 hrs. before a trip.

The psychological support is more important. Reducing external stimuli (i.e light and noise). Giving love and positive support. Help them "go with the flow" and tell them "these feelings are temporary and will pass, to be replaced by better feelings" (like Michigan weather, if you don't like it, it will change). These ideas helped save me a few times. Trying to find what was brought up from the sub-conscious mind, that they're having trouble dealing with. That's what LSD does. It's psycho-analytic.

This is why a tripper should have a "guide" that knows how to handle these issues. "Wavy Gravy", the psychedelic clown of Woodstock, had that job at Woodstock 1969, but he had to deal with many people.

Art Linkletter's daughter, Diana Linkletter (aged 20 in 1969), took acid, then was preparing a meal for a friend, that was to come over. Before her friend came over, she freaked-out and thought she was losing her mind. She called her brother (in a state of extreme panic) to come and help her. She jumped (or fell) to her death from her 6th story apartment. If she wasn't totally alone and had some kind of guide, I feel that she would be living today. A valuable lesson to be learned.

Nessa Anarion mentioned that: "i remember once, at a party, a friend ate a lot of acid, and thought he was an orange and everybody was tryin' to peel & eat him...my god,that was a laugh..." I read or heard a similar story like that in the early1970's, about some tripper flippin' out in a closet (who thought he was an orange) saying: "Don't touch me or I'll turn into orange juice!" Tommy James & The Shondells had a "psychedelic" song entitled: I AM A TANGERINE. It begins: "Hello, banana, I am a tangerine", "Is it a dream? Oh no, I don't think so far.","My head is spinning. I am a carrousel." and "I am so mellow, I am a Jello man". I was a Jello man. once while tripping. Close enough to an orange. We have Croatians in the Detroit Metro area. Nikola Tesla (the famous inventor) is my favorite Croatian.

When "tripping", be prepared. Have a competant "guide" and, maybe some Niacin. Remember: "Foresight is better than hindsight".

Love, peace and understanding...
