Looking for Some Advice, Very Nervous

Well after probably a year or so of looking for acid my friend and I have finally found some that is apparently pretty damn good. I watched my friend trip out on 2 hits and he had a pretty bad time. The setting for him was horrible however. Hotel room with me and my other friend on E and 2 other trippers he'd never met before (friends of mine). The trippers started drinking and being very loud and we ended up having to kick one out as he was scaring my friend way too much.

I planned on doing it with my closest friend in my appartment tomorrow night and now after all the looking and wanting, I'm skeptical I don't want to go into it worrying about a bad trip but I just can't seem to help it, and the more I think about it, the more edgy I get. I'm just as excited as I am nervous but I was just wondering if theres anything you guys do while tripping to keep your minds occupied? I was told by a friend to watch Minority Report while tripping

Another quick question. I'm not new at all to altered states, I smoke pot daily, and have done Mushrooms and Ecstasy many times. I was wondering what the difference is between L and Shrooms? MY friend put it like "Mushrooms are just... Confusing... With acid, it's like you know"

Thanks all, peace

 

it is for me opposite of what ur friend said.. on shrooms i seem to know everything and y.. and on acid i forget everything and nothin comes out right, until i come down then it makes sense.. and i dont know y but for me drama ALWAYS happens around me when i plan to trip.. i just tend to make a joke outta everything and not take anything literal.. and if it gets too bad i just leave, u know for a walk or something, smoke a ciggarette and tink happy tots! ull be fine just dont think bout it so much and have a blast.. u friend might have some underlying issues u dont know of..

 

My advice is not to waste your trip watching a movie.

 

you wont end up watching the movie!!

If your scared/nervous about it wait until you arent

 

You mean to tell me you weren't nervous the first time you did it? It doesn't matter how long I wait. For the past year we were looking for L, I was convinced that as soon as I found some I would not hesitate in the least to do it. Now that that day is tomorrow...

 

SHrooms and LSD are EXTREMELY similar but essentially different. If you've done one and done it properly then you wont get freaked out by teh other. you may not like it as much but you shouldn't really freak out. Just know that it (LSD) was used as a psychological drug and it has VERY many benefits in terms of that. Its can be used to work out any issues you have.

If you do start to think bad things you just have to remember that YOU control your mind. No one else. Its all you. DOnt allow any negativity from teh media or stories people make up or any religious guilt get in teh way and you'll have a blast. Wait for the tingles and shivers at the start and ride 'em high. They feel great and bring you up into the crazy wonky beginning. remember to laugh and enjoy the bizarreness and especially nature. when one sense gets overwhelming either love it or change it. either change your environement or your focus from one sense to another.

Its kinda like a volume control you have. The more people do it the more they realise they can control it and its just a case of knowing you can. thats all it takes.

Trip reports please! (if you want of course).

 

I've only done acid once... don't worry, dude. I was completely fine and I have an ANXIETY DISORDER! When you're in a trip, just start looking around your environment or talking to people when you get into a thought loop.. or just let go and relax. Thoughts flow so easily.. on acid, it's far easier to get out of negative thinking than it is to get into it (in my opinion).

 

Nope I wasnt nervous when I did it.

When I wanted to do it the first few times i was to nervous so didnt

 

Good post redpoppy. I think it really depends on the person when it comes to bad thoughts being easy to get rid of. If you're with good friends though and having a good time, it should be fine. It's ok if you're a little nervous the first time, just don't approach it with a general attitude of fear. If your overall attitude is one of fear, fear of yourself, fear of life, fear of learning, then it could be bad. But if you're a generally happy person who enjoys music, nature, good friends, laughing, etc., just stick to all of that good stuff and you'll be in for one of the most beautiful times of your life

 

Oh, and if you've done shrooms many times, you'll be fine man. There are some big differences between them (for instance, on acid you feel very awake, unlike on shrooms), but the only skill you need is the ability to let go, which I'm sure shrooms have taught you very well

 

Thanks for the advice guys, you were all right I had an amaaaazing time. Don't really have time for a full trip report ATM but we did 2 hits. All seemed to be going well, I was having a neutral time for a couple hours. Then something happened. While I was listening to dark side of the moon with my eyes closed I remembered something my friend told me. He said to just let your mind control your body, don't care about what other people thing and just freak out. I did exactly that. I jumpped off the chair and started flailing insanely to the music (Any Colour You Like is soooooo awesome to flip out to) As soon as I did this, I felt incredibly free, like more free than I've ever felt in my entire life. Embrace the insanity I kept thinking to myself. It was an incredible time to say the least.

PS I HIGHLY recomend Minority Report. That movie BLEW MY FUCKING MIND. Such an incredible array of moving colors and layed out backgrounds, not to mention the plotline.

Peace

 

No mushrooms are more visual,laugh,and just fun.but cid is more thinking.You will get visuals but not like shrooms,unless you get real LSD 25 ,which is rare now days.

 

Whats your source of such opinion?

 

I imagine he sourced it from his rectal cavity.

 

now now.... play nice.

I wrote a really long post but accidentally clicked teh back button. DOH!

Basically... dont' believe what people say just because they believe what they say.

 

The source is experience. There are too many compounds and chemicals involved in making lsd most of which are a little harder to find now so if you get paper these days you can pretty much bet it's going to be dOb or doi chemical compounds. if you think this is incorrect ,you go and find some acid that makes you see clowns and indian villages and shit. You just cant do it these days. you can get some pretty fire dob or doi that will totally warp your perception and you will see plenty going on when theres nothin happenin, but your not going see anything realistic or vivid like that. This is not to say that you cant find any but your best bet is to look for some good liquid.

 

I get both liquid and blotter on a regular basis.

I know how acid affects my mind well enough to know that I am getting genuine LSD 25. Either that or I've NEVER gotten genuine LSD 25 (and I know enough acid heads and dealers with whom I share doses with in both liquid and blotter form, to know that this is absolutely not the case).

It sounds to me like your experience is based on your own preconceptions of the effects acid is "supposed" to have on you. I can honestly only remember two trips during which I created completely "other" realities, and they were (not coincidentally) the two largest doses I've ever taken (3 and a half hits of blotter on one occasion, 2 drops of liquid on the other). While even on the smallest dose I find myself creating realities spattered with elements of my imagination and fantasy, they are nevertheless based loosely on the world around me.

Just because you don't see Indian villages and clowns (or any other figment of your imagination) so vividly that they seem completely real, doesn't nescessarily mean you've been palmed off with a research chemical, it just means your dose isn't high enough for that sort of trip.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but genuine LSD 25 isn't anywhere near as rare as you suggest.

 

LSD has never claimed to give what people refer to as "raw" hallucinations. thats never been the case with the drug. Maybe in thumbrpint doses or the like but not usual recreational amounts. (Even ridiculously large recreational amounts)

Other drugs do give such hallucinations.

Speak to hippies from the sixties, rockers form the seventies, ravers from the 80s or indie kids from the 90s. Unless they're lying or mixing their drugs its never happened.

Even if you read about Albert Hoffman's first MEGA dose (which was HUGE in comparison to a hit now) he mentions people turning into witches and kaleidoscopic colours and questions of insanity and perception and fear etc etc etc. Not once does he EVER mention things popping out of nowhere. With LSD the hallucinations are BASED somewhat loosely on the reality we have before us. Thats why many people start to feel that the thin veil of reality is slipping when on the drug.

If you have experienced such things it was probably on some other drug which you were either told was LSD or have been lead to believe was LSD. But its okay to be wrong even if someone posts somewhat antagonistically as hemisphere has done (in his rectal cavity post) so please lets all just chill.

 

I've had "raw" hallucinations on acid before, but it's more of a lucid dream. I feel more of a spectator than a participant. I've lived what felt like a lifetime in my mind. I fell in love, got married, had kids, grew old. I've experienced the process of evolution from monkeys to humans, become the messiah and founded a religion... and then returned to reality to find the party I left earlier in the night is still going on

I think that's what he meant by seeing tribes and clowns.

Edit: Of course when I look back at these trips, they all had at least some grounding in what was actually happening around me, but I let my mind wander so far from reality that I wouldn't even consider, at the time, that I was actually where I was. The girl I fell in love with and grew old together with was just a girl at this party who I rather fancied, the religion I founded I think was more along the lines of some friends of mine gathering round me to see if I was alright, and offering me a spliff, but when you're so wrapped up in such an intense trip, it can all seem absolutely real, and it doesn't feel like a distortion of reality at all, more of, as I said, a lucid dream.

 

The way you describe it seems more plausible as it seems like there could be elements of CEVs and that whole "definitely not in my body just then" thing that happens.

I still don't believe all that could happen on OEV but then I've heard sonme peopel dont even hallucinate ANYTHING on acid. *shrugs at teh insanity* People are indeed different.
