I'm going camping with some very good friends soon and they picked up some lsd. I've done shrooms with them a few times and always had good experiences but have never done acid. My best friend is coming and has also learned a lot from mushrooms but is wary of acid. I'm trying to convince her to at least open her mind to the possibility because so much of what you hear about it is just urban legend type bullshit. I may offer to only take one hit with her just so we can have a more mild first experience together while the others do their more full blown thing. Is one hit going to really give us some good effects? I'd take more myself but I want her to be comfortable.
I've never done 1 hit, but from what my friends say it just feels like an intense weed high for like 5 hours.
depends where you live, 1 hit of acid where i live isnt enough, you need 2 to really feel it so do equivalent to 3/4 of an eighth of shrooms
Thanks for the advice. Any advice on how to assure my friend? I think her main problem is that she worries about it b/c it isn't "natural". I tried to tell her that under those pretenses 90% of what we put into our bodies isn't as it is in nature - just about everything has been fucked with in some way. However, I don't really like that argument much. Anyone have a better one?
LSD came to be in a very beautfiul way. If you dont know the story then research it and then tell it to her. It was meant to be.
But wasn't Hoffman's first trip a bad one? I've read his accounts of it and I would think that would seal the deal on someone not wanting to try it if they are already having reservations.
tell her that the actual chemical is very similar to pilocybin, mescaline, and dmt and is a more modern high teck chemical. If shes uses un-natural things in her daily like like cars and computers, tv's and plastics and eats artificial candy and all these chemically processed foods, say LSD fits in. just my opinion something I would say I hope this helps
even if hoffman's first trip was bad, it wouldn't mean anything because his first trip was accidental and unexpected. remind your friend that this guy JUST died at 102 years old.
I would say tell her that LSD is a completely different animal. It's very gentle and soft as compared to mushrooms. I think someone once said it best: "LSD=Intellect" "Mushrooms=Spirit." Both worthy things to work on. In my experience it helps to re-assure them that all the myths they hear about bathtub acid and strychnine acid are ridiculous. Also I totally agree with the statement about living in a modern age full of synthetics. LSD is definitely a sort of "digital" experience for me.
1 hit for me is 12 hours of hallucinations on everything and a strong body fry. 2 hits for me is just too much. in the past i used to need 2-4 for a full blown trip depending on strength. I wouldn't try to convince your friend to try it anyway, if its there, she will ask if she wants to do it. pushing acid on people who are scared of it is the most useless thing yo can do.
hahah, hoffmann bad tripped cause he didnt know what the fuck he took. think about it man, if u just ingested something that could blow ur mind, but didnt know what it was, wouldnt u bad trip? and if i remember correctly he wasnt bad tripping the whole time, just for the first few hours. then he began to play with all the colors n patterns in his mind. the only people i would advise not to do L are those who are afraid of expanding their minds...
Yea that was a good point raised Meat. Just give her the facts and opinions from all different points of views from Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, Terrence Mckenna from erowid, from the "bad drug sites" - government telling all the dangers, tell her bad trips. Then when she sees it all she can think for herself and things will work out. Also there is an interview on bill gates and it suggests he took LSD http://beginnersinvest.about.com/od/billgates/l/blbillgatesint5.htm PAGE 5 Also Steve Jobs took lsd and went on a spiritual trip to India - wikepedia Just some thoughts.
the stuff that normally comes around here seems to be 1 hit for a nice mild chill trip 2 for a good trip and 3 for a pretty strong trip. i would recommend 1 for first time but that would be of this stuff ur batch may take 3 hits to get that effect or half a hit who knows.
Start small .. take 1 hit and give it about an hour and a half and if that isn't enough for you take more. Just remember you can always add more on top, but you can never take any away! Lots of people take too much to start out with and wish they hadn't done it an hour or two later. Go with moderation, and most of all have fun!
