Question/feedback

Hi everyone!
I've been reading through a couple of threads here and ive seen a lot of people have a great knowledge on the subject so i was wondering if any1 could give me advice.
I'm planning on trying candyflipping this wkend. I haven't taken acid before, but i'm quite familiar with e, though i haven't taken it for a year now. Just want to try it because just a sound of these two words sound shivers down my spine, i mean in a good way.
So my question would be, would you recommend to try acid by itself for my first time? (btw im planning on having one 1 hit and 1 e, and not some excessive amounts)
Thanks!

 

Definately try acid alone first.

 

I agree - try acid by itself first.

 

Thanks for your feedback. I was kind of thinking tryint that alone first. Only thing that made me considere the other option that is suggested is that I don't consider my self as a mental freak or anything else, but you really can't know what acid gets out of you can you? Also i thing ill be fine with one hit. I've spent the last to days reading this forum, so i base the amount on that. Otherwise tell me if im wrong.

 

Oh and one more thing (actually two). I've seen a lot of people write about having a sober sitter with you when you first do acid. Since I just moved here not long ago I don't possibly have anyone who I can do that with. I probably won't be alone since I got 3 flatmates who are really nice and I don't feel unconfotable around them, but the are like stone sober, they don't even drink (except for the german guy who is always smoking pot lol ^-^). So they will be around but don't think they'll have a clue about what's up with me, unless i tell them beforehand. Do you thing I should do that? They are really nice tough.
And the other thing is, in what form and where should I get those vitamin complexes, or anyithing else that could help if errr things go wrong?
Thanks

 

It's my view that it is best to have someone to hand who has themself experienced the effects of psychedelics. But certainly, I'd explain to your friends what you're up to.
The other thing that comes to mind is this : what do you intend to do whilst you're tripping? If you just do it and try for example to sit and watch tv with your friends, it will probably get wierd.
You really need to be in a space where you can control whatever is going on in the way of input - you might for instance, want to listen to some favorite music - the last thing you want on acid is argument about that sort of thing, or to have to sit through something you really don't like much.
You might decide to go for a walk - you want someone to accompany you.
If you are a fairly well balanced person, as you seem to be, then I think you'll be fine, but it is impossible to predict how a given person will react to psychedelics.

 

I really appriciate your help, it really means a lot. Actually I had the same questions in mind. I really cant get anyone with exp on this with me. But the place where im staying at (been here for 3 months now) is actually one of the calmest and relaxed places i think i ever been, except for nature. Considering my options what to do having my own room with my computer, with my favourite music on it, or watching tv, or there is a big garden just in the back. But maybe if i really get the hang of it (dont know for sure) ill find other interesting things as well. I though about walking as well and im sure i can get my flatmate to come with me. I share your oppinion on not know how it effects anyone, thats why I was interested on where to get stuff that could balance you a bit if you get messed up. Other than this id greatly appriciate any other comments you have about this "plan" i set up, or the way things are.

Thanks

 

I'm sure you'll be fine. But as I said, do explain to someone what you're doing before taking the stuff. When I said 'things to do' I was thinking more of avoiding possible negative stimuli - the experience itself is the thing, but stuff like a nice garden, good music etc can be very good.

As to agents which will bring you down - I really don't know of anything other than valium (diazapan), which is a prescription only tranquilizer.
If you like pot, that is very good on acid - esp in the later stages of the experience.

Hope all goes well.

 

If your happy with yourself i see no reason not to just take the pill and then the trip, ive done it twice now, just make sure your not too tired when u try the combo. A healthy week before the experiment will help alot

 

Thanks again!

 

One of my buddies has tripped numerous times, but only once was with someone else (me) when we took mushrooms the first time, and the only thing that I think could have gone better is having had someone to talk to the whole time that understood the experience. It's not like it was bad that he was alone, just something that could have gone better. Certainly having a sitter is a good idea, but I wouldn't say that it's absolutely necessary.

Sounds like your German friend might be a good bet, maybe mention something about acid and check his reaction, if you find it agreeable perhaps mention that you're thinking about trying it. None of my friends knew shit about trippin when I took acid around them the first time, but I happen to have friends that I only had to say "it won't kill me" and they said "ok whatever." Mostly they were curious about what it was like and how I felt, so if you do end up trippin with them, be ready to answer questions about it.

Also, try not to have too much of a plan about what to do, because at least in my experience things won't go how you think they will. I mean you may feel like you want to listen to so and such a song, and then you turn it on and decide it's really not that cool, or whatever. Just do what you feel like doing, and if something takes a turn for the worse just ride it out - it will stop. It's my opinion that you shouldn't take any other drugs to abort the trip, because the bad times are usually when the most is learned. There is no bad trip, only learning.

 

I agree fully with that. However, in an absolute emergency, valium will do it, provided you are prepared to deal with the negative psychological effects of running away from yourself. I certainly wouldn't advise trying to cut a trip short.

 

Thanks! i dont have anything that sort of stuff anyway. I really share the opinion that learning is a good idea. And just one more thing i wanted to ask, since its almost saturday. This one thing concerns me: english is not my first language since im only studying here and from a non english speaking country. And my flatmates share the same fate. Do you think during the trip ill still be able to speak english to talk to them? I mean generally i dont have any problems with writing or speaking english. Just wondering if i can still do that while tripping.
Thanks!

 

That's a fairly interesting question actually, and I would say it depends entirely on how fluent you are. Native language is fairly ingrained on your mind - since you learn it from such a young age, you're basically hardwired with the ability to speak it.

If you don't have problems speaking English normally, acid is unlikely to change that, but if you often struggle to think of words or sentence structures, that might become even harder or confusing while tripping.

Also, depending on how hard you're tripping, the very concept of speaking a second language might seem quite bizarre to you, and the mental process of on-the-fly translation could feel a bit odd. I've never had acid block out large areas of knowledge, such as a second language, it could definitely distort the way you think about language and translation.

I reckon you could have some really interesting thoughts about the very nature of language and communication, while tripping

 

Hehe! That really sounds interesting. I have no problem with fluency, and dont really stop thinking how to say things because if a stop i get it wrong. Another thing why i dont stop is because i dont know the grammar neither in my language or in english but i can speak both. So i would not stop to think what present perfect or whatever is because i have no idea lol =).
Thanks

 

And one more thing by the way. It seems that i wont be able to get blotted paper but insted something the guy whos getting it for me describes as pill containing lsd. Whats that? How to deal with that and most importantly how much to take of those?
Thanks

 

Well, acid is typically sold in hits which are roughly equivalent regardless of medium (though drops of liquid acid tend to be stronger as a rule), so one makes sense for a first time.

Acid can theoretically be sold on pills, but it's really not very common. The pill may well be something else, either another drug, or just some shit, you'll have to try it to see really, it's up to you whether you trust your dealer or not.

 

LSD sometimes comes in the form of micro-dot pills. It's a rarity these days in the uk, but could be some around. If it's micro-dot, it will be a very small pill, like a sacharin tablet. could be any colour. But as Hemisphere said, it comes down to do you trust the supplier. If it's a larger pill, I'd be very suspicious that it wasn't acid but some other drug.

 

Remeber, use LSD for the experience, not the high! I can kind of tell you wanna just get fucked up because that's what ecstasy (those dirty pills that send hatred, non-caring and make u messed) is for... Take care...

 

There were a few times trippin where I found it excessively difficult to talk properly, that was quite strange. I found it easiest to talk the way Mitch Hedberg does during his skits.

MDMA is being researched for several different medical uses, among them to aid terminal cancer patients in accepting their own mortality. So don't say it's useless, and how the fuck would you know why he wants to do it?

How did it go?
