Acid... for the first time

I'm doing Acid for the first time on Monday with a bunch of friends. Me and two buddies are doing Acid while a few others are sticking to shrooms.

I've done shrooms a few times, and I've been smoking dope daily now for about 8-9 months. I've smoked it a few times a week for 1 year before that. I'm comfortable with myself, and I feel that I will be able to handle acid.

Any advice for a first timer?

Peace.

 

Oops, I forgot about the Psychedelics forum. My bad. Any advice is still appreciated. No beef I hope

 

if you've done shrooms before with no problem you should be fine.

 

Look up some literature on Timothy Leary~he is most famous as a proponent of the therapeutic and spiritual benefits of LSD.

 

Alright, I'll look him up. I'm not worried about it, I'm still gonna do it. I just want to have a slight idea of what to expect. I'm pretty excited

Peace.

 

Acid is bad for you.

 

I JUST finished watching a documentary on the history/discovery of LSD. Many of the makers/researchers saw Tim Leary as an underqualified guy with delusions of grandeur, what with his wanting to popularize a drug they were still researing. Look up Ram Dass, he's a really interesting guy with an equally interesting view on acid. Good Luck, by the way. I hope you have a good trip.

 

No, don't get me wrong, this was the perspective of the people being interviewed in the documentary. There was another man interviewed, though I can't remember his name he is apparently a relatively reknowed psychadelics enthusiast of sorts of got to know Aldous Huxley very well, who took the view that Tim's intentions were all good.

 

under the direction of tim leary, his people had no bad trips i think that's what i've heard/ read

 

The negative point the other guys was talking about was the fact that when Tim popularized LSD it became illegal and the psychiatrists no longer had access to it when it was really furthering their research on schizophrenia. Its too bad there couldn't have been a middle ground.

 

How is it that many of the pharmaceutical drugs of today are legal when pot is not... I guess it doesn't have to make sense.

 

Nothing in life really makes sense anyway. I haven't had time to read anything by Timothy Leary yet. I've been out since I've made this post, and I'm just popping home now. From what you've guys said about him, he seems interesting.

 

Without Tim history would be so much different. Anyways, again, good luck with your trip.

 

man. acid is crappy... Leary is an idiot, and the whole acid boom was retarted.
but if ye wanna do it. do it

 

i wouldn't suggest doing it, with friends that are on shrooms, acid fucks with your head more than shrooms, but it'll prolly still be good, if you're in the right state and nothing bad happens, externally that is, what goes on around you can really affect you
and uh pot was made illegal in like the 20s, way before acid, and what huxley was doing was more mescaline and peyote...
have fun with it, but be careful

 

Yeah, make sure you're in a good state of mind, you DO NOT want to screw that up.

 

Yeah what Masked Potaootoo said. If you are a relatively "life is cool & happy sort of person" HAVE a GREAT TRIP. If you are whiny lettle victim of life depresso then run the opposite way eh!

 

One thing: Objects in view are closer then they appear and balance.. eh nevermind. Enjoy your trip man.

 

Fuck ma in some wayss shrooms is way worse, try mescaline first. its like acid but way more visual and mellow. on acid you get that teeth grinding "im gonna lose it!" feeling which is real intense for a learner. you drop in so quick too on acid, first timers get seriously freaked out. Most importantly be happy and Do it during the Day if you're even slightly scared of the dark! shadows are your enemies.

 

What is up with all the naked chest boys yo?
