no, I don't think it's really necessary at all it just adds to the effect. A lot of people like it around the comedown to keep the trip somewhat intense. But as for keeping it good I don't think it does anything for that. Weed could make it extremely good but could also make it extremely bad as well. If you get paranoid on weed then you'll most likely get paranoid on weed and acid.
I think it might have to do with how much weed you normally smoke. I smoke 3-5 times a day; can't sleep if I don't toke. I tried tripping without, and the pre-peak loops were just relentless. the two acid trips i've had, smoking a bowl brought on the ego- death and the peak. I find it very useful in helping me break through, and it's always great for the comedown.
Do you think if you get paranoid on weed, would you get paranoid/have a bad trip on acid/or shrooms alone? I am talking about just that, and no weed.
well the people who I know that do or have done acid feel at home on weed and don't ever get paranoid maybe used to when they first started. I don't get paranoid when i smoke or on acid. I guess it depends on your reasons for being paranoid. What are you thinking when you are paranoid?
I have smoked every time i've done acid. It's like . . . it's like its made for acid. Takes away the bad things, and gives you some good things. Win-win. Although you will feel, and *look* extremely fucked up.
everyone ive seen bad trip on acid was due to smoking weed. it makes you confused, and you cant think as clearly. dont get me wrong, it feels good to blaze while tripping, but recently, ive been tripping without weed. i feel like i get more out of the trip without weed, than with it...
Yeah man, I feel the same way. I see it like this: Acid makes all my thought processes transparent, so I'm made aware of all the things going on in my head that are normally automatic. When I smoke weed while on acid, it changes the landscape of my thoughts and makes it almost an alien environment, because I can see everything that's going on up there but it's not what I'm used to. It makes me a bit paranoid, and more than a bit confused. I prefer to just have the acid, and think in great clarity
It's definitely not essential and can even seem a bit tainting at times, though, it can be at times that extra push... whether the push is good or bad.. you don't know until you are there.
yeah just to tie in the responses, which are all valid, it's good to try and trip without the weed; it might provide more clarity and less confusion. but if you need it to break on through then toke away. i wonder if daily tokers are more likely to need it to break through the veil. that'd be a good poll, but I don't feel like doin it.
naw of course not. ive only smoked weed during 2 of my trips(didnt find a good acid dealer till i got put in outpatient) but its just as fun without imo
yeaa im gonna go with that of feel and LOOK , specially LOOK like shit , i mean really really shit. hahah . but it is tasty when you're tripping.
I think Weed is perfect when you are tripping..all your senses are heightened so it tastes and smells delicious(assuming you get good bud)..plus it gives your trip a nice boost
Another thing that good weed does to trip is to give music special dimension. Another thing is, depends on you and the dose of acid. If you have a nice dose of acid 300-500ugs or more, than you are already propelled and its not really essential to have weed, but is nice. But if you have a hit or 2 of not that potent acid, basically all together below 300 ugs, than you might have a problem of letting go, you keep your thoughts and hold on them and than weed is essential, to confuse you until you let go even your thoughts and stay completely naked in front of God, until you ralize that you are the God and that you need to feel, not to think. Thinking and analizing comes later when you come down from trip.
I rarely smoke during a trip, but Im not a big fan of weed as it is. I dont get paranoid, but it doesnt agree with my person, I get a constant sensation that my skin is being burned when Im high, I could possibly be mildly allergic :&
I dont feel that weed is essential to tripping. I have smoked on acid but I couldnt tell the weed effects really. I usually smoke right after i take a hit or two then by the time my weed high is comming to an end the acid starts kicking in and the rest is history...However weeds good when things get too intense like if you dont like what the lsd or shrooms is giving you weed will make it less intense. I have been thinking about weed and i told some people i know about this thought....People call weed a gateway drug, i suppose in some respects it is, but there might be a double meaning to "gateway" in that weed is fun alone but there seems to be a missing piece when you smoke weed. I think of weed as a key and other drugs as doorways, the true potential of certain drugs are found by smoking weed on them. Opiates are a great example and also psychedelics.
