Hey, I'm thinking about trying LSD, just got a few questions etc., Latley I've been really anxious and, well for lack of a better term mindfucked just about life in general. I had been like this all my life until I took a level 5 mushroom trip which put everything back into focus (I know its pretty lame to describe trips in that way, but thats the long and short of it I guess), saved my sanity if you will. Now for whatever reason, I'm back to my confused, dazed ways and have recently been offered a chance to try LSD. Ive wanted to try it for a really long time, and I basically need to know if it will/can help me get my head straight/at peace. the plan is to take 1 hit (not alot I know, but its my first time), and jam:guitar: with my buddies/hangout etc., I'm basically just looking for good advice from experienced Trippers. Anything is greatly apprectiated.
Best advice I can give... LSD will often provide an opportunity for what I like to call "mental spring cleaning" but you have to participate. It opens your eyes to all the assorted junk piling up in the corners and floors of your mind but ultimately you have to make the decision to sort through the junk and choose what to keep and what to throw away. If you want any sort of lasting change you have to work on it and not just rely on a substance to give you temporary perspective and peace.
Don't do it man, seriously. If you feel mindfucked already, the last thing you want to do is to drop L. I myself am feeling quite mindfucked at the moment, and I wouldn't touch any L with a ten foot pole. When you're tripping on L, you can start questioning things, and the next thing you know, the only thing that's left in your brain is a bunch of questions you'll never be able to answer. It's not fun.
My advice: Trip with ONE close friend who is intelligent, unique, and at the moment is free of any mental baggage. Take whatever dose you feel comfortable with and go to a safe environment out of the range of the law, the public, and those who aren't tripping/ in the right mindset. I'd suggest going on a long walk through either the woods, or through lightly populated areas with very little traffic. When your mind starts churning, start talking about whatever comes to mind with your buddy. Chances are they'll have another perspective on it from yourself and can help you view the situation in a new light. Don't be embarassed about anything you say, just let it flow out of your mind through your mouth. The more you discuss, the better you will feel, and probably after a couple hours you will be cured of your creeping malaise. Now is the time to go and find a ridiculously fun activity of your choosing and you may want to consume mass quantities of marijuana if you are so inclined. Good luck with you problem I hope it works out for you!
There is different levels of depth in trips, depending on the dose some settings are more safe than others. 1 hit around here is like level 1-3 nothing special, if you are taking enough for a level 5 I wouldn't be in an questionable area for the first time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_experience
For me, mushrooms let me get an idea of how to get more in touch with myself. LSD opened it wide open and let me do it. Just be prepared and fully willing to die and be reborn.
Yeah for me, shrooms were my awakening. I tripped on LSD twice before that, but both of them were nothing compared to my trip on shrooms. It helped me to look at myself from an outside perspective and realize quite a few things that were wrong with my personality, and helped me to build a stronger character.
