I am thinking about trying acid (if I can find it) I was thinking though... 1. How much does it cost for how much? 2. How much do I take?(I weigh 150lbs approx.) 3. Where should I take it? I cant think of more questions right now...
Howdy. I actually just dosed for the first time last night, and I kind of doubt that I ever will do it again, but all I can say is to be prepared for something really insane and something that is (most likely) unlike what you are expecting. It can definitely be life changing, as a matter of fact I have written 13 (and soon to be more) pages in my journal about the experience. That said, I definitely see why people have killed themselves while on acid, and I might very well have tried to do this if I hadn't done a LOT of soul-searching before this (as in like philosophy, meditation - I fell back on those things during the trip) as well as research on what LSD does. So, those are my biggest pieces of advice, but I am not going to tell you to do it or not to do it, the choice is yours just as it was mine. 1. I paid $10 for a little over two hits, a friend brought them back from a jam band concert for me. 2. I would take two hits. Hard to go wrong with that. If it's really really weak, at least you'll feel something. If it's weak but not insanely weak, you will feel really strange whereas you wouldn't have if you had done one. If it's decent stuff, then you will be taken to another plane of existence, which can be good or bad, but at least for me I was more worried about taking too little and not having an "intense" first experience than taking too much (since it isn't physically dangerous), although I think we both know that isn't the most responsible way of goig about it. 3. Definitely somewhere secure... DEFINITELY. At least if you are like me. I wanted to do this for spiritual reasons, but if you think that you can mindlessly watch music while having your entire perception shattered, then whatever. It's all about what you want and what you think of yourself. I don't see how you could go wrong doing it in a comfortable place, although I guess it would be nice to be entertained like at a concert. I am just saying that I probably would've freaked at a concert. Also, the people you surround yourself with are really really important. One of my friends who assured me he would be really nice during my trip just said a few things joking around that I could NOT understand, and it really freaked me out, so watch out. Let me know if you have more questions.
mindlessly watch music while having your perception shattered? shit man whats wrong with that. to me taking acid at a concert can be one of the most spiritual ways of taking the drug. to be totally encompassed by sound while in the woods with thousands of (hopefully) high energy people can be a very positive experience. i don't like the idea of saying that there is one "right" way to take acid. even if the individual person is aiming to a have a "spiritual" experience, there are no guarantees. and if the person is planning on just having fun, it can just as easily become a life changing spiritual experience. in fact maybe more likely because the person won't have expectations. in my experience when i try to apply all my spiritual philosophy during the trip, it just becomes another mind game another verbal-conceptual package that the experience just won't fit into. practicing meditation is an excellent idea and may help guide the energies in a positive direction. but for a first timer who's not gonna sit still and count breaths for an hour, listening to pink floyd or something can be just as earth shattering. i think, if you are striving for enlightenment over a good time, when you are in the moment (tripping balls) the point is not to strive for anything good or bad, meaningful or meaningless, spiritual or material - its just to be. believing that the way you do things is the only way, even spiritually, is a block to spiritual devlopment. of course, thats just my opinion. just go with the flow kid, its ur first time have fun. if something goes wrong or right don't judge the experience based on any one intense moment. take it as it comes and enjoy the moment. listen to some music, go to the woods, be with good people. your first time, there are gonna be sensations and thougts are going to be really hard to accept. each trip kinda teaches you something new, and your first few are just getting you used to the psychedelic mindstate. you will undoubtedly have revalations and realizations about life, but don't expect them or look for them or think about them, just let them come. then, when you come down, begin to use your thoughts to analyze the incredible experiences you jsut had, and you may very well decide it was more than just a crazy night. whats right is whats right for you, and if you just let it happen and don't try to conform to any one set of ideas you will find out your individual way of finding yourself.
Now it should cost anywhere around 3 to 10$ a hit.My advice would be take two, or 1 if you feel fairly insecure about it. Try to find a spot far from your everyday life, a field, a forest, whatever and rolltide, I too see why people would commit suicide on it...When you realize what's actually beggining to happen and theres no stop to it...One trip, unaware of the clear light taking place, I was scared and all was goin on in my head was how i could commit suicide, and a deep understanding of people who have done it on acid... A few killed themselves, and the others understood they had to find a place to go...
Be very careful what you put in your mouth, esp if it came from an unknown source. I maybe wrong, but it was my understanding that LSD-25 was no longer being made, due to the unavailblitly of the chemicals. There are clones out there tho, that mix arsnic, drain-no, pcp, speed and other chemicals and call it Acid. I haven't come across any LSD-25 since the late 70's earily 80s. I was never inclined to kill myself on LSD-25 it was too beautiful an experience to end it so soon. Even taking 1,500 mics at a time I never wanted to end my life. Now don't get me wrong I did have the typical morbid outlook on life as a teen and just wanted to die, but not really end my life. I never took LSD as a party drug,, always in a group with an experienced guide, in nature. I suppose LSD was more pure then, like the water and the air. I remember our group would head up to Toquits(sp) Falls, by Palm Springs. There were 12 Waterfalls and at the top was the Toquits Indain Rez. We would stay at the lower falls, the third I think it was. There were huge smooth simi-flat rocks and big open caves to trip in. We would climb up and all drop at the same time and lay naked against the sun warmed stones, the little ones would be splashing in the pool that gathered at the foot of the boulders, a few brothers and sister playing happily with them. When the LSD would start to come on we would make pallats on the cool cave floor and lay the babies down for a nap. When the kids were down sleeping we would break out our Phychedilic Prayer books and start our experience. What a learning process we went through in those earily days of LOVE LOVE LOVE. Brightest Blessings. sh
Let me reiterate that the "whatever" at the end of my sentence describing taking acid at a concert was not meant to be caustic. I worded it poorly, but I truly meant "whatever" - you know yourself better than anyone. So, do what you think is best, but just be prepared that it is intense, and you might want to be in a comfortable environment. Then again, you might want to be someplace like a concert where you can be entertained - its your call dude.
Thanks D.A.R.E official. Our children need as many ridiculous drug myths pumped into their heads as possible.
shameless does seem to say a lot of things that would incline me to call her... something, but im not going to talk because 1)im a nice person and 2) i just made the exact same thread...right above this one... so, yeah. im a bit on the stupid side, too.
Just for clarification... they don't make "LSD" with any of the afformentioned deadly chemicals do they? I'm getting some this week for the first time and the last thing I need to worry about is swallowing arsnic.
Well they certainly use several dangerous chemicals in the process of making it but none will come into your mouth!...you are safe
Drain-O is pretty much pure hydrochloric acid, and would burn through most anything it came into contact with. Arsenic is also highly poisonous and would probably kill you on its own, without the Drain-O in there as well.
I have a question. Would it be a bad idea to trip with contacs in? I know someone advised to not trip on shrooms with contac lenses in, and so far I've followed that advice, but is Acid the same?
Damn...personally I think alright often the acid is shitty, impure, causes jaw clenshing and some physical discomfort...But I don't think it is dangerous to take. I guess it will give you long term effects faster than good lsd though... What's a BUM trip???
Although it was a 'loving' warning, the use of misinformation to warn people discredits you. Bad trips come from the person's response to the experience, not from drain-o and arsenic in your tabs.
