Okay so this is my first ever post here so to everyone I'd like to say a warm, friendly hello ! Later this week I intend to experience LSD for the first time and I was wondering if any of you had ideas of things I could do while tripping. Most of the times I take my backpack and go exploring the streets near my apartments while im on shrooms (I've used them about a hundred times since I grow my own), but I dont know if this is something I should do on LSD. Despite the fact that I'm very experienced with psychedelics I have to admit I have no idea what to expect. So if any of you have any suggestions on what I should be doing while experiencing (beside exploring and studying the many layers of our reality of course) post them up ! I'll try to write a detailed trip report during my voyage (not sure its going to be coherent though). P.S. Sorry for the bad english. Being French Canadian sucks some times !
I've found that having some sort of list prior to the trip made it easier for me to know what to do instead of ending up sitting in my sofa staring into nothingness for four hours. Since its my first time I wish to get the most out of it, thats why I wanted to know of people had suggestions that could make the trip more enjoyable/fun.
If you explore urban streets while on mushrooms you should be able to while on LSD as well. Don't forget it lasts about twice as long as mushrooms though, so keep that in mind when planning your day. but generally i agree with neo, plans tend to go out the window once the fun starts
I remember one time right after I dropped some acid a friend of mine said " I hope you don't have any plans for tonight, because if you did their fucked. " You just have to go with it and see where it takes you.
Well in my opinion, 4 hours of staring into nothingness sounds infinitely more fulfilling than any activity that you out of sobriety plan to do for acid. If you end up truly staring into nothingness for four hours, you just made the most of it.
I have to admit that your mind do tend to travel a lot more when its not stimulated by anything else. I meant to ask, does eating while on L make the high shorter or is it like the best thing ever ? I always take my shrooms on an empty stomach to make the effects as vivid and lasting as possible. Also, is it better to take it during the day or the night ? Mushrooms at night tend to bring more visuals but during the day I got the feeling everything is more detailed and crisp.
Oh and I live on the last floor of a pretty high appartment building so is it better to stay away from balcony or should I go nuts and look over the railing ?
I personally cannot eat when tripping. I find the raw physicality of it to be too disgusting, it's just absolutely sickening to me while on acid. Essentially it's an act destined on going about the cessation of the molestation of the mind through desire (hunger), by taking an "appetizing" dead organism, or a completely artificial substitute for one, placing it on the palate with greasy fingers, and mechanically mashing it up into a thick, saliva-infused paste that is able to be swallowed like a reverse gag-reflex and travel down the throat into the stomach to be processed and forgotten, usually only driven by something as indulgent as 'taste'. Horrendously vile.
I'll keep that in mind, thanks ! But I have to say that soft drinks are quiet awesome while shrooming. I dont know why but it seems like I can feel each and every bubbles bursting on my tongue, releasing an ocean of flavor down my throat which each gulp. What about cigarettes ? The ember is quiet fascinating and there's something about inhaling smoke that put me in a very relaxed mood. The sole gesture of bringing this tightly rolled piece of paper to my lips is an experience in itself.
I can't smoke either. When I'm tripping, I become extremely health-conscious, probably as a result of a higher awareness of my body/mind. Things like soda and cigarettes are absolutely horrible for you, it's just something that isn't pleasant while on acid.
Cigarette smoke makes me feel suffocated while I am on drugs, I hate being around them. I feel like I can't even breath. I like soda bubbles though Mostly sprite or 7up.
Basically the trip is nothing like mushrooms, if I understand you correctly. So I'm really heading into the unknown here, thats nice !
Anything I should avoid ? There's a lot of kids here and I wouldn't want to scare them off if I bump onto one.
By the way, if you like watching movies while tripping, you should try Renaissance. It is a black and white cgi movie using motion capture. Though only in french, it is very pleasant to watch with the sound muted while your favorite music plays in the background. It will blow your mind, sending you very far into your head. Word of advice: if you do watch it, dont panick if you end up seeing the world in a monochrome palette for a while afterward, it happened to me a couple of times.
Haha, when I took 5 hits with my friend, we had the same problem. He lives on the 27th floor. We sat there looking at each other, looking at the locked balcony, looking at each other. Stories of LSD induced mania, suicides, going through our heads. "Should we . . . should we go on the balcony?" "I don't know. What do you think?" "I don't know. Do you think you will jump?" "I don't feel like jumping . . . do you?" " . . . no . . . " "Ok, lets try." And then we went on the balcony and realized it is the same balcony as before, and we were the same people as before, we were just on LSD now. This is an episode we laugh at now and then in retrospect. Unless you have secret plans of suicide that very strong and not very well hidden in your mind, you're gonna be fine. LSD doesn't make you want to do anything that you don't already want to do. In fact you will find a lot of what you thought you wanted to do, is ridiculous, and won't interest you. Hence the not making plans theme. And yeah it's only like mushrooms if you compare low dose mushrooms with low dose acid. Once you get into the meattier experiences they are very different, only similar in their intensity.
What dosage should I take ? I weight 220 lbs and it take about four grams of shrooms to really get me going. Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be sure I covered all the basics.
Well when you describe it like that!!! I LOVE oranges when on acid. They are awesome, the smell, texture, taste. Apples are good too. Any fruit or veggies you like are good to have on hand during a trip. Something about the fruit/veg still being alive and full of energy always makes an impression on me. Fruit picked straight off the tree is bliss while tripping. If you are anything like me, completely avoid meat of any type while tripping, thats what gets me thinking like neodude. :ack2:
I agree that oranges and orange juice are very vitalizing when tripping. Like one of my friends once said: Its like eating sunshine dude !
