Do you have any self control while on acid?

You will fathom new levels of self control. Self control not only of your body, but of your mind. I've found that more so than ever, since the trip two nights ago, I can control my own thoughts. If you understand the law of attraction and positive thinking (ever see The Secret?) you will understand how important it is to be able to control your thoughts, and how valuable acid is in being able to facilitate this.

 

Every trip I've had was controllable. The only thing is I cannot control how happy I am or how much personal insight I get while tripping.

 

I HATE THAT when someone fucks with your head!!!! I was tripping balls (Powdered DXM) last week and I went up to this bar to see this girl and she was like "What the hell are you doing! I had a friend who DIED from taking powdered DXM! What were you thinking!" To say the least it gave me a really REALLY bad jolt. I had never done it before and everything got so intense I started puking and felt like I was going to die! Literally I thought my life was about to be over, the most fearful thing i've ever felt! That's all I could think about and it was NOT fun.....

But that's one thing you don't want....negative people. Only be around people you are comfortable with and get along well with, you don't want someone to spiral you out of control man.

 

Well I plan on taking it at my new house. I just moved out so the setting is not as comfortable as other peoples houses I have spent more time at. I guess I dont have any good memories or experiences in this new house so it may be a little uncomfortable... any thoughts on this kind of setting?

I also stress a bit when I have gatherings at my house (old house), and cant relax like I can at other friends houses.

What I dont want is to decide my new expensive furniture would be more at peace with the world if it had yellow pen drawn all over it. Or going to my neighbors house at 2am to get to know them, or calling a family member or business associate to tell them I am the all seeing all hearing being from the ocean complete with right arm and flexible fingers. Also dont want my mates who will be tripping for the first time to do something stupid in my house (break something, cause a scene in my neighborhood etc).
This is what I'm stressing about.

 

If you know yourself you hsoudl be able to avoid these things. Its abit like when I go tripping I'm like "don't answer the phone, don't call anyone who hasn't tripped" before i go into it and I'll remember that when i'm tripping.

As for your friends. If you have one of those "I'm crazy and cannot be contained" type friends just dont' invite them. Sad but thats the way. Just invite people who care about you and you feel comfortable with.

Its not like yoru morality changes whern you're tripping. The whole general area of "do as you want so long as you dont' hurt another" should still apply. if you have teh type of people who would ruin your new sh*t then they need to not be there.

 

My mates are all cool, but the research I have done regarding LSD is giving me unsure answers as to how people will react and act while tripping because it can be so varied from person to person.

I think (from what I know) we will all just chill out and listen to music, drink a bit, play some cards, joke around etc and then start tripping together, realise that we are all tripping and just go with the flow while maintaing a chilled party like atmosphere. We may go to the park or do something in the backyard, but I think either myself or one of us will be able to keep a straight ebough head to not let anything too studip happen.

Similar to what we do at an X party, but with different mental effects.

 

If all your frieends are familiar with X I think you shoudl be fine. I mena its no way similar but its not liek they dont realise its a super strong drug right?

Really make sure you talk to ALL of them and make sure they understand there will be aspects thata re totally out of control on your first trip and so you have tyo be comfortable with relinquishing that control.

Having said that they must ALSO be aware that despite all the craziness everythign they expreinece is born of their emotions and mind.

If someones having a REALLY bad day or time they shoudl avoid tripping onteh day.

GOOD LUCK!!!! hee! Wish i was coming along!

Please grace us with a trip report if you can be bothered!

 

Been years since I tripped, but I always had pretty decent self control. I easily did 2-3 times as much each time as people I tripped with but was always the one to keep everyone else grounded and out of trouble when needed.

However, everyone is different.
Some can easily control themselves and others can not.

 

I'd say the 1st 2 trips it's hard just because it's a whole new experience, but after that it gets pretty easy to control yourself.

 

It depends on a few variables.
A. The dosage
B. The set and setting(overall vibe)
C. your general disposition
D. who you are around...and yes try to be around some people who don't have heads full of acid who know you are tripping to watch your back...always a good idea....and also with the sober sitters around you will be able to factor if you are either paranoid of their intentions or that it's irrelevant...some of my friends don't care if they are in a big crowd of ton and tons of people or just schmoozing in a wal-mart or the mall. I myself tend to get kinda sketched out and not by how I am acting but how they are acting....which is kind of strange I guess....I have played straight on 5 hits before...difficult if you ask me....but so is driving and I won't even mention that idea(one of my dumbest...but in contrast most exhilerating)
E. finally, what part of the duration of your trip are you at? maybe try to not be out an about among a mob of people/strangers(like you would be anyway though) while your peaking(unless you don't get sketched out by so many people.....but you will still look messed up) when i am tripping bad around some people that don't know and i don't want them to know i just act like i am on some upper or i haven't slept in a few days(excuse i tell my dad a lot if he see's me out and about at odd times)
since acid has that amphetamineish side affect you sometimes can get away with it as long as you aren't exclaiming about everything you see aloud and like one of my friends telling people he didn't want to know about it that he was one with nature.
when it gets down to it....avoid authority figures not only police but just any authority figures in you life really unless you got a cool older relative that will dose with you of course .

but i guess breaking it down how you act depends on what part of the trip you are at and how well you act on acid anyway.

From a fly on the wall perspective the typical acid trip would seem like some one is on like amphetamines. Some people I know when they dose they have certain ticks they continue to do the whole trip and seemingly similar acts appear in amphetamine use.

But the basic literal definition of an acid definition in my eyes is similar but not really the same in any othe set up to like other drugs i've seen in the past.
Like dxm based on the amount you do, you reach certain "plateaus" and then you gradually drift down to normalcy after experiencing such things.

I don't think with acid the majority of the "come up" is very defined besides you knowledge of the time frame which may actually hype you up and make you trip harder in some ways. Just try acid the first time with people you trust and have someone/someones sober that know you are tripping preferrably people that have already experienced acid before so you can have a slight connection with them....like when I am trip sitting some of my friends who are tripping since i haven't do it as often as they have so I am sober more often...but I find I trip harder than they typically do when I do it only every once in a while. But like having a trip sitter who is an experienced psychonaut is a plus because the chances are they know almost exactly the kind of things you could be thinking and they base how they help you on how they would like to be helped when they trip so they can make the enviroment tailored to your specificiations.

like for example one of my friends started a trip at my house...it was like his second or third time but he was dosing the highest he'd ever done before he'd went from 1 hit to 4 hits....quite a substantial jump but he was handling it like a pro and he had a couple more experienced trippers to watch out for him...like i set the vibe up for when they were at my house coming up put some good music on let them watch some funny/trippy videos and when they wanted to leave and go on their journey i offered drinks but then thought...that would be a hinderance....but then i thought.....my friend would definetly be hungry after a while because he hadn't ate anything anyway...so i offered him some food and he said that he wasn't hungry and i was trying to get him to just take it with him in his hoodies since it was just a small snack cake or snack bar or soemthing to that extent.
but he refused and then ironically about 3-5 hours later after one of the other trippers call me asking me to drop off their skateboards i leave off on my way there as well as go somewhere else and halfway there my friend on 4 calls me and is like can you get me one of those snack cakes man i'm starving....and then i'm like sorry buddy...i knew you'd be hungry.

my point with that shows that it might not always work out but having supportive people around you that are always looking for your best interests while you trip are the best to surround yourself with.
kick the negative pricks out of the equation but i assume you all are cool as hell so you would only in turn hang out with some chill people

sorry if it seems like i am writing like a monologue or a story in everything....SWIM actually did some amphetamines last night so SWIM is petty tweaked.

 

entables is right. When I'm tripping, I feel so empowered that I just wanna do my own thing, you know, go out by myself and hit the road like the Grateful Dead song "Truckin" but I try not to forget that it's okay to accept someone else's help and advice. We're all shamans man, and it isn't weakening to accept other's help, just as long as you always honor yourself and realize that you don't NEED anyone.

Okay so to make this short, acid is whatever you want it to be. You will be as free as you want to, and if you want clarity and therapy you will get that. If you just want to explore the world on acid, you can do that too. If you don't mind taking some advice, go for the clarity. Enlightenment is the most important persuit in the world. Knowledge truly is power man and when you have it, no one can fuck with you.

Happy tripping man, and I hope it transforms your world for the brighter, like it has for me.

Just remember man, INTENT. I could be in the middle of a Vietnam war hell tripping balls and I'd be hiding away in some unseen corner, watching it all in wonder. If you don't lose control of your reality you can do anything. Just be careful! People let the power get ahold of them. Don't lose sight of common sense. Don't stare at the sun, don't jump in a fire. Don't be an idiot. Most importantly, say to yourself "this will be a safe and sane trip and I'm gonna learn a lot and have a fucking blast". Life is all about having fun and loving. The more you love, the less danger comes your way. Love is the light that keeps all demons at bay, even during your worst nightmare bummer trip from hell.

 

^^^ Great post, lots of realy good info for me there. Thanks.

 

Wow that really sucks, I know you how feel about that then. Hell if I took a shit load of sid I wouldn't want people to start exclaiming, WOW 5 HITS MAN you're in for a rough ride! You're going to be tripping for hours man! You're all done! But maybe puking some of it up helped you lol.

Acid is just nuts, because yeah, as that kid spoke of death and girls ripping their hair out and all that shit I was in like a subconscious state so it's like the words he were saying I could see as letters and the story was real and playing out, and the last thing I wanted was it to be (I guess common sense thing), so I tried my hardest to just sit back and relax.. then it just worked.

 

^^ Some of it came back up so it was probly for the best but after I puked the trip was more intense and more freightening than anything I have ever experiences in my entire life! Plus that was one of the first times that I experienced with mushrooms, so it put my "psychedelic mindset" in a weird place, ya feel me??

Thats what I call self control brother! I can never come around to that mindset myself. I mean if it's a normal/mild trip I can bring myself around, but when it's one of those "Overly Intense" one's, there is no stopping my mind

 

Well I mean I felt what people meant, like I honestly felt like I wouldn't mind laying down in the corner of the room and start whaling and shit but I just wouldn't let myself, I have no clue why I wanted to, lol. I probably could of started ripping at my face too but, luckily I didn't. It seems that deep in the back of my mind I just didn't want them getting someone (police for example) to restrain me, especially when I had weed on me which was giving me bad anxiety.
