Getting 'stuck' in a trip.

Longer, but days at most. And any claim about how many mikes are on blotter is a guess at best.

Yeah, I plan to have music plugged into my ears, otherwise I don't really have anything else to do. I will be in a forest, so there will be the tree's to talk to, lol, haha, nah i'll probably just see where it takes me.

As long as you have someone sober with you during your 1st time you should be in good hands. LSD is a great mind opening experience, hope you have fun!

The user Chinacat at the shroomery forums, who has done several thumb prints, said that that experience only lasts around 17-20 hours, though you will feel as though you've been dosed to a varying degree almost every day.

I think that ego death is a misunderstood term, I think that it's a more common experience than people think. You probably won't even realize that you've reached that point during the experience since you won't know what it's like.

I'd say that ego death isn't always necessarily a good thing either, I experienced something close to it once last year and then again fully about two weeks ago - I don't think I'd want to have that happen again. I feel that the experience two weeks ago fixed a lot of problems I had and I don't want to reset myself again.

To me, you almost have to have a "bad trip" to experience it, though it may just be me because I have a strong ego and needed to be totally over-ridden (and therefore had to eat more mushrooms than my body wanted to have in it). A bad trip lets you see the bad side so as to appreciate the good parts in life more, or some cliched crap like that. When I ate too many mushrooms and got sick, I had literally NO IDEA what I was doing for sure - I could see shit, but none of it made sense. Time lost all meaning - I didn't know when shit had happened and when I kept telling myself "It'll end later" the next thought would be "later...wtf whats that". I couldn't be sure that what I was seeing myself do was really what I was actually doing, and I'll admit that I was scared for a while. Luckily I had some good friends with me but unfortunately the only other person who had ANY experience with shit was a kid I had just given shrooms for the first time (I mean, he didnt SEE shit, but he said he was definitely trippin). Before I reached that point I managed to tell them "sorry guys, I'm bein a liability for a while, don't let me do anything stupid." I reached a point where I was asking for guidance, I needed to be told what to do.

In that sense, the trip was AMAZING when I started to come back. I look back on it as one of the most profound experiences I have ever had. I believe that a part of me died that night; a part that needed to be gotten rid of. To me, ego death is something that can be done with or without drugs, because to me the term simply means that you have changed yourself. One can do it without drugs by simply consciously making themselves a different person. That takes immense personal strength but I do believe it can be done. Ego death can also be the removal of an ego to make room for a new one, or an old one when a new one has started causing trouble. Ego death, what I think most of you here think of when you hear the word, is the "swirl of colors and fractal patterns" where you are totally overwhelmed by your senses. I'm not saying that that doesn't happen, I'm just saying that ego death is more than just that.

As for the length of a trip - it can be all over the place. My buddy took a ten strip the other day, shit was strong enough for the hippy guy we got it from to warn us "under no circumstances ever take more than 2 at a time" and he made himself stop trippin after about 6 or so hours because he was having a bad time. Talked to his mom and his girlfriend about 5 hours after taking it and managed to stop himself within an hour or two after that. I took 8 gel tabs one time and thought I was done while I was drinking later that night, and then when the alcohol wore off I realized that I couldn't sleep because I was still trippin after 17 hours. It's all in how your body reacts to the substance.

However, I do remember reading somewhere in Hofmanns literature on LSD that the chemical is pretty odd in terms of dosages. The more you take, the more intense the experience but doesn't last that much longer like other substances. There is no doubt that taking more elongates the trip, but it slows down the more you eat. You also have to realize that there is a point where you totally saturate your senses, so to speak - you won't get any higher because there won't be anywhere else to go. Your brain only has to many receptors and neurons.

I am pretty experienced with lsd and i have tripped many times and i just wanted to comment that you can trip for more than 12 hours but there is no way that it would last more than a day. much of the acid if not all of it will be out of your system in 2 days. dont listen to these people that say you will trip for months.

and another thing...i wouldnt trip in woods where you could get lost...because that is very possible under the influence of this drug. I recommend that you do it somewhere you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the world around you and yes music is amazing.

I will have a sober sitter, he'll make sure I don't get lost.

I dun really believe there is anything such as a bad trip. A trip is a trip, and you can learn from it or you can shake you head and deny it. I've found on acid that it's just as easy to freak as to have fun. But no matter what you experience you'll always come back with something, unless you're a complete dick.

I think, butterfly, that the concept of tripping for more than a month comes from the fact that acid does leave some mental stuff behind for a little while. I tripped three-four weeks ago and it's only today I see myself returned to 'normalicy'. It's not really tripping, it's just every day I've been able to recall the effects of my trip vividly and sometimes I get a tiny little sting of what it felt like (I suppose that's what you'd call a flashback, I have no idea, but I like it ^^).
