I have just bought two tabs of acid. This is my first time to take LSD. I have taken LSA though, which is the base form of acid before its turned into LSD, although I have heard people say they are very different, so I have come here to ask a few questions. Btw, I have also tripped quite a lot on shrooms, and have taken as high doses as 6 dried grams. First of all, dosage. The mate I got it off, and the guy actually dealing it, both said to me that its very strong stuff. I'm not sure what to do. If a trip feels too weak then I often feel uncomfortable and annoyed, and this actually makes the trip go a bit crappy. I like tripping hard. Should I just take the one, or both. I'm going to be by myself when I do it too, so keep that in mind. Secondly, what are the visuals like on LSD, in comparison to psilocybin? On shrooms my visuals are very cartoony and animated, and very vivid. Can the same be said about LSD visuals? All responses are appreciated :sunny:
Taking you at your word in terms of your described experience level and comfort level with various levels of tripping: Take them both. Often the dealers overstate potency. Even if they are strong, you will be fine given that you've eaten a lot of 'shrooms and as much as 6 grams. The visuals are different, but of course, each psychonaut is different too. Speaking for myself and off the top of my head, just for visuals: Mushrooms bring out more of the colors like the cat in my sigpic with closed eyes, whereas acid is the whole spectrum. Mushrooms are much more likely to let me see the "life energy" in people, animals and plants. It is much easier to achieve a semblance of 3-D CEV's with mushrooms (high doses). But, as I re-read the above, I realize it under-values LSD. LSD visuals are awesome, in particular (for me) with eyes open. With LSD, I am much more "visually suggestible," that is if I see a suggestion of movement, I will hallucinate the completion of said movement, complete with trails. I recently held an ammonite fossil during a high-dose LSD experience and had an amazing wave of ocean-synaesthesia hit me. I just couldn't imagine that happening on mushrooms (personally). Anyway, make yourself safe, control for interruptions, ensure a great set and setting, get some good music and definately take them both. Hope you'll report back to us. Good journeys!
definitely take both, and drink orange juice even for a first timer one decent hit is still too weak imho
Take both if you've dosed 6 grams of solid shrooms. As spicey mentioned psychonauts/trippers are different I find LSD more colorful then shrooms with both open and closed eyes. Its more sharp and you remain more lucid so i find the colors really stand out compared to the dreamy earthy natural colors of the mushroom trip. LSD often reminds me of that childhood painting box you get in grade school, some of the colors seem that bright and not really found in nature. Then the other part that reminds me of those water colors is the periphery of vision is very liquid and flowy looking. The rest of the visuals depend on many factors but I get trails, objects breaking form, objects change in size and objects appearing to move, plus others.
Yeah. Let's hear a trip report. Its your first experience. Its pretty much mandatory. It might even help explain things. You obviously are a little confused.
