Hey everyone Just wondering if you can control yourself while tripping? Like on x i feel completely in control of everything and myself, for example, i feel fine to do most activities (including driving), but is less so when high or drunk. The reason i'm curious is that I plan on trying lsd (first time) with my mate at a house that im housesitting. Now ive house sat there many times before and its all very comfortable and farmiliar so I'm not worried about getting freaked out in uncomfortable surroundings, but I do have to look after the house and the guys prized possession, his cat, and am just making sure that it is still safe to do so (keep in my that the cat meows a fair bit when it's locked up and its not the biggest house so it travels through there pretty easily) Cheers
You will not be able to control yourself the way you can on x, and more than that, trying to hold onto control is a really great way to spin yourself off into a bad trip. The best preperation you can give yourself is, if you can't allow yourself no expectations at all, get comfortable with the expectation that you will be absolutely incapacitated and unaware of your own abilities and actions. That way, you can only be pleasantly surprised. But don't worry... it isn't like being drunk, where you're somewhat likely to be destructive without realizing it. The worst thing that could reasonably happen would be that you'd lay on the couch or the floor the entire time making strange noises, and maybe doing things that would be embarassing if you were seen by anyone who hasn't broken through their cultural barriers yet, or who you couldn't trust to be nonjudgmental. As long as you make sure to turn the stove off before hand and don't try any complex culinary adventures that involve electronics while tripping, you should be fine. As far as the cat goes, the cat should be fine too. Animals are almost always very aware of a tripping person. Some will act as a protector. Some will get an attitude and avoid you (especially if your vibes are a little off at the moment). Some, and this is most likely with cats, will just ignore you completely. But the most likely thing, I think, is that you'll find yourself and the cat able to communicate and end up with a pretty strong bond with that cat . Since you'll have your friend with you, that is either the biggest comfort or the primary thing to be concerned about. You know the phrase, "hell is other people"? If you're with a shit head during a trip, you'll come to understand that better than anyone. But if this person is someone you can be vulnerable around, and truly trust, then there can be no better situation than that.
And just an extra note... I have tripped around people who I didn't trust, who I didn't quite mesh with, who sent out negative vibes and seemed to be paranoid or deluded. It happens, especially in groups. I've tripped around drunk people. I've tripped around authority figures on power trips (security guards, hotel staff, parents, etc). I've tripped around people who appeared to be on meth, who were definitely on meth, or where on something in that spectrum. I've tripped around republicans. I have never had a bad trip. I don't think my will power is much stronger than the average bear's. Just try to see things for what they are. Understand that opposing absolutes coexist, and every version of reality is only an option. You do not have to buy into what anyone is selling. You do not have to be colored by the pigment of another person's trip. Everyone is tripping. No judgment. Just choice.
Cheers for that prismatism. i was mainly concerned with the safety of the cat as thats the primary reason the guy asks me to housesit. now to just wait until the time comes in a couple of weeks...
Spogne, LSD is much closer to MDMA than to alcohol in terms of altering your world. Unless you're doing a massive dose, you will be well in control. I walked down the streets of downtown Toronto on a saturday afternoon on 5 hits of acid with my 'tripsitter' who was on 2 hits of acid for the first time in his life. we were fine. if you're not the kind of person who does stupid fucking shit when you're drunk (and you know what im talking about, weve all seen that one girl or have that one friend) then you'll be fine on some acid.
Dude, DON'T DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANYTHING. I hate these (many) idiots who put other peoples' lives in danger because they think they "can handle themselves." If you're high on ANYTHING, stay the fuck off the road.
Surprisingly you have pretty good control. Expect somthing a like a REALLY strong hash high. You'll probably say allot of weird stuff (like hash), and feel allot of weird stuff (not so much like hash), like maybe feeling you and your surroundings are 2 dimensional or you look at your leg and its seems like its a mountain. As long as your enjoying that stuff, you'll be in control. But like prismatism said, when you start to feel too high you can start to feel like your loosing control and really focus on that, leading to a bad trip. If you do start to feel like that, don't focus on it, walk around, talk to someone, etc... But personally I rarely have a bad trip, and if I do, it will only be REALLY bad for a few hours.
Sunburst, dont worry. I do not condone drink/drug driving at all. I was just trying to form a comparison to being in control of your body and coordination, and that was the first thing that I thought of. And Mr. Writer, im the one who forgets his nights after drinking, but from everyone elses perspective they think i'm sober. So I do not act stupid or anything after drinking, I just have terrible memory loss, even when appearing completely fine Cheers
i think i have more physical control on LSD than MDMA control over my words and social behavior on the other hand...
you'll be fine bro. the more u "think" about it the less fun it is. i have dosed in many diff situations too, and really u are able to appear very normal and are able to cope unless ur on some godly dose lol. jus let it all flow and you'll be good. ive had to teach little kids how to snowboard while trippin and the kids loved me and had a blast. jus dont sweat the small stuff. happy trails
Yeah if there's one thing i've learned from the few times i've done acid it's that you will FEEL about 10,000x more fucked up than you look. You will be talking to your friends, telling them that you have never ever even imagined it was possible to be this high in your wildest dreams, and they will answer you straight-faced with 'what you're on it right now??' trust me people can't tell, unless you're rubbing your face and kissing your hands and giggling into your arms (true story)
2 hits of freaking fire in a tim hortons. man. i'm never 'testing' acid again and assuming its bunk. turns out i was very, very wrong lol. in a cafe.
i am always 100% in control when im on acid, even on high doses. i would have a much more difficult time if i was really baked or rolling my nuts off. last time i did acid i just went for a drive, because i could lol absolutely no impairment whatsoever
Last time I 'tested' high power acid with the assumption of being burnt or RC'd at best, I took 6 blotters. I ended up, well, Im sure you can imagine. Well, not really, but Im sure you can imagine that no one can imagine lol
That reminds me lol, once as a teenager I was with a few kids tripping, two of them for the first time, and we decided to walk to 7-11 for drinks and to experience the evening outdoors for a while, and this crazy fucker (who I ended up traveling the country with for some weird reason) with us broke out a knife on the Indian guy behind the counter lol. The rest of us were like, looking at sodas and candy and I was having my mind blown away at how stupid the magazines we read are, and all of a sudden everything stopped and we hear our friend threatening the dude! Needless to say we ran as fast as humanly possible into the closest park and scattered and regrouped later that night at the original house. Man lol, that moment when I saw him with a knife hit me with the same impact as watching the 2nd plane hit the twin towers from across the street would have had, I was tripping so hard. I was so confused, and actually when we asked him why he did that, he said he didnt even remember why.
aye aye captain yikes bit a loose screw that one i guess lol. sometimes loose screws are the best, they dont make you buy them dinner! zing? zong.
Lol Ever find yourself just chilling in your kitchen, smiling at dancing floral pattersn across your normally white walls, when suddenly there are two of you, then three of you, then four of you, etc etc and you are all crashing violently into yourself? At the center of what should be all of 'you' but is actually empty?
