First acid trip; not what I expected

I have been wanting to trip on either shrooms or acid since mid 9th grade, now I'm at mid 10th and had my first acid trip last night

I heard about and studied all those effects like extreme philosophizing, mixed sences, appreciation for music, life in genera, and also visuals like walls breathing, waving, radiating, bending all that stuff

Finally, yesterday I and two of my friends put together money to buy shrooms, we only had around 30 total so we decided for 4 people to trip, we should just do acid instead (and get some taco bell)

The plan was to all have a sleepover at my friends house and chill to music, hit the pipe, etc

When we all took ours at the same time, I took 1 hit as well as everyone else
At first I just started to feel uber sober, like too sober, no emotions just thinking, the opposite of weed high
Then it progressed and as I was telling my friends this, the same type of thing was happening to them, no vision changes nothing

All of a sudden they started feeling it, but seemed still sober
I kept waiting and after about a total of 2 1/2 hours of trying to trip my mind out to break into the trip it hit me

Bam
Like I sinked back into myself
We were in the dark and every shadow looked so surreal, but almost the exact opposite of a weed high
Everything still looked the same, but stare at thing they'd change small details
Like the mouth and eyes and stuff would bacome like cat eyes
Then it went to textures, my friends faces would turn into zombies but it wasn't frightening
I was just controlling what I wanted to see
I made my friends face look like this girl I liked from like 2 years ago and completely forgot where I was for a second

I was expecting more of a intensified weed like high
Even though I only had one hit, I know I could have walked around downtown fine
People always say stay away from open areas with tons of people, stay with small group of trusted friends but I felt so normal
If I was in school on that one hit of acid, I'd be 100% fine
There is so much controll
So I experimented
I tripped into the music and let my mind take me places
Soon I was just telling myself what things are going to look like, changing where I was
I was flipping around inside myself turning into forces, objects rules
the concept of balance, I turned into it and all of a sudden the world was balancing on me
Insane

The walls never breathed, lights hardly 'radiated' it was SO incredibly different than I expected'


Is this because I only took 1 hit or what?
Or is how -everything is so sober yet I can control it to be insane - happening because I mixed weed with it?
Did I get ripped off and that wasn't acid?
When we turned on the lights it seemed we were sober again

Imo, based on how you control it, one hit of acid is way weaker than a little weed for the most part until you close your eyes and fall into your conscience, then acid is more

 

ya there is so much control on psychedelics
I try to explain to everyone that you are actually MORE sober on psychedelics
that your actually less 'in touch with it' in just typical daily life
and that this isn't some philosophical metaphor or euphemism or anything
but literally psychedelics present to you a lower layer of reality
the simpler layer that "sober waking life" is built on top of
but ya, pretty much no one gets that till they do get it...

have fun. You should definantely try mushrooms though.
Although mushrooms aren't anywhere near marijuana
they are closer to marijuana than acid
mushrooms also have a nice feeling of presence with them
that helps you through it if you need it
I think of it as like the mushroom spirit helping you
Whereas acid, if you noticed, you feel very very alone... atleast I did

Also about going in public places. People don't say avoid it
cause you lose control and act stupid.
It's because you don't wanna be out of your 'safe area'
if you run into the wrong vibe and everything starts going demonic
unless your prepared for that...
but trust me, if you take more you will run into a feeling that is just
too intense too handle unless your in an extremely safe comfortable setting

But taking more psychadellics will make you more 'sober' or rather
reveal deeper and deeper levels of reality and truth
It only gets more real, more pertinent, more introspective, more revealing
the more you take... calling the effects 'hallucination' isnt really the whole story
everything is built on energy, and my personal belief is psychedellics
literally let you see this energy layer if you can get all the 'hallucinations'
out of your mind and clear your head, then you see the energy clearly
and this energy very literally shows you how and why
what most call "reality", is built. Cause to me it seems like
'sober waking life' is an effect on top of LSD.

 

You got some good acid, nothing even moves when I take one hit of my stuff.

 

yea to have a full blown psycadelic trip I'd say you'd need 3-4 heavy blotters. 1 hit just kinda gives an acid high.

 

Thanks for the info

I guess everyone gets the idea that it is all visuals and fluffy, rainbows, like all those acid peace or shrooms wallpapers

It definatly changed my life
I also felt this intense emotionless love if you get what I'm saying
I was hugging my friends while tripping and felt such peace but not as surreal as peace on weed

I have some more questions

the acid was on a ~1/4 inch piece of paper, like normal paper, not absorbant thick paper; is that less acid or was that still a normal hit?
Does a first time trip sometimes not effect a user as much as later like weed, some people I know don't feel weed until 2nd or 3rd time trying it, I felt it CRAZy on my first time though for weed
I let it 'dissolve' on my tounge for about 30 seconds before accidentally swallowing it, did it lessen the effects me swallowing it?
Is it a good idea to try acid again in 2 days since I did it? people say its like a once a month/2weeks at most thing but everything I knew about acid before is different than what I know now so who knows

 

Always watch out though because sometimes you get bad shit. I one time just got a mild poison on blotter. That wasn't cool.

As for the acid you took. I donno man, I've hit acid for like 4 years now and, if you got that effect out of ONE, it's some really good shit. Most high schools don't even have any decent lsd goin around.

 

Yeah man there's definitely some bunk doses going around high schools.....I don't even fuck with the shit if it isn't from someone who I know has good acid.

 

Dude, trust me, if the acid is as decent as it dounds from your anicdote,. If you were to take two or three you wouldn't feel that same sense of total control. It gets very intense and shatters your ego at higher doses.

The white fluff i usually get gives profound effects off one...festivals mannggg; gotta love em.

As for being a more intense weed high; hahahahaha. It's so much more than that. A good acid trip isnt something you can record with words. One can try but no mix of words music or memories can replicate the experiene. It feels like you're in a movie. THere are all these wacky themes and you can extract them from the world around you like you would with a literary novel. All the while the visuals are blowing your mind, colors exploading everywhere like a crazy fireworks display, all the while everything you think of is being displayed in front of you visually in a psychedei web of picture and colors. It's fucking insannneee.

 

you must get some dogshit then. this pure liquid in the city is fucking intense.

 

My trip was void of color though
I'm going to try shrooms or acid again soon
probably shrooms while camping; that will really put me in the mood I'm sure of it
Plus I heard you get really in touch with nature on shrooms

But whats up with this 'shrooms is more visual than lsd' I've been hearing
Everything I heard about acid or shrooms said that shrooms is more about yourself and introspective nature stuff opening new doors of life-- while acid is about the universe and it helps you answer things and come to terms
And that lsd is like shrooms but more intense visuals and hallucinations and lasts longer
It contradicts itself

 

Hell yeah it is. Throw some of that in the little cup the top of a 'smarties' candy, eat it, and see what happens.

Yea dude, you do really need to take more. Sometimes (on weak batches) you might have to take up to 10 hits.

 

it seems to me mushrooms are the instruction manual for earth
and lsd is the instruction manual for space

 

You must be quite lucky to find acid anywhere in Louisiana. I have been looking for years now with no luck. All I come across is fake shit, mostly 2c-x.

 

So is it true that 1 hit can do close to nothing while 2-4 can really produce a trip?

I did Acid again to test if it was because I swallowed it early instead of letting it dissolve on my tounge

Same thing happend
I felt sober
My mind definately was going everywhere but no light show, most things actually seemed black and white

 

LSD surpasses shrooms visually ten-fold in my experiences

 

Wow...AWESOME sig, good lyric and even nastier pic...

Tool fan?

 

Indeed one of my favorite bands.

 

yea i would try taking more then just 1 try anywere from 3-6

 

good post,

'the mushroom spirit' being there is a nice way of putting it, though for me i felt more that i was there for myself as well, whereas on acid i felt that my 'guardian self' or whatever i might light to tag it, was unreliable and thus i feel alone in a way that you probably get when you are crazy - which is why people often relate the two experiences, imo.

and demons, i have found, are much more prevailent on shrooms, whereas on acid people seemed to turn more into robots, though not completely.

demons are something that can be explained pretty well to someone but the feeling of being next to somethign that you honestly percieve as having demonic qualities is quite intense. particularly druken hoons. oh god they are the worst. like zombies. like all those oafen destructors that sift through from the medias into my character mainframe.

being alone can feel free and open, but once you are next to an animal that you percieve as being a threat, its another story. however if you are a very tough guy then you might not have any problem until totally surrounded by said animal/s. whatever the case in the end it could be a tree or poster or piece of furniture that can spark a demonic 'spin' to the moment.


and rygoody, yes, it does seem like sobriety may bea state on top of LSD experience. in order to really understand this though, it will be great to see some human psychological research with lsd along with neurobiological testing of what LSD actually does all up in the brain. with the new technology they are developing, this can be possible. however, with all the other possible projects they could do, it will be years before that sort of testing technology is cheap/common enough.

 

The demons are in everything, they are your own received descending thoughts materializing in a form which prevents the evil from concealing itself amongst false positive or neutral form. It is not a matter of demons being real or unreal, because they are most certainly real, but how they are perceived is always going to vary between us due to our different capacities to understand and comprehend. If I look at the lightning bolts and feel the presence of dragons, how are dragons not real? Because other people aren't seeing it? I see them and I feel them, I hear them and I marvel at them. Same with the demons, the form they manifest in order to grab your awareness is always going to be personal, how they appeal to or repulse you is dependant upon your own inner nature. Are you harbouring evil intentions? Or are you being taught that evil can hide itself anywhere and everywhere?
I've had many, MANY encounters with evil during psychedelic trips and it manifests itself in the form of horrifying mouths and eyes on all matter in my surrounding, as well as in my consciousness. I've seen evil growing out from my son, out from people I love and trust, out of sidewalk steam, camping fire smoke, fumes from chui lung, faces in the fog and clear bright nights walking downtown, etc. Evil lurks everywhere and is the receptive of the creative. Without it there is no good and vice versa. Demons are the manifestation of negative intentions when they can no longer hide. Hell is the purification process of one coming to terms with one's own inner evil that they have cultivated. We all have it because it is within everything, but it is not eternal, it is not all together powerful, and it can always be manipulated into a positive charge.
