I've had the opportunity to dose several times but had passed each chance by out of fear of a bad trip. However, two days ago I decided to finally try it and took a hit that my friend offered me. I was already rolling on some Moon Rocks prior to taking the hit which prbably made me more open to the idea of tripping. I did not, however, realize I would soon be candy flipping. An hour or two passed aqnd I had not felt the acid yet. We did several more lines of Moon Rocks and continued to enjoy the night. We eventually dropped my friend off and headed back home. Once at my other friends house we all agreed to sit outside and enjoy the night. It was possibly the most amzing thing that has ever happened to me. The moon shone through holes in the clouds and I saw things I dont even know how to describe. The sky opened up and light abosorbed my mind. The trees around me spoke in whispers and the wind blew through me. We soon decided to go to bed. Having taken my hit later than the others and doing more Moon Rocks than the others, I was still wide awake. In the darkness, my trip took a quick turn for the worse. My mind felt as if it were attacking itself. My deepest inner fears came to light. Fears I didnt even know exsisted. Some of the most undescribable things began to flood my head. Subconcious material that doesnt even mae sense to me anymore. I had the thought that I would be trapped in that state and that my brain would drive itself to insanity. Despite all of this pain and fear, I managed to calm myself and fall asleep. The next morning I was in a very contemplative state. A state my friends called the Afterglow. Since then I still feel a bit depressed and crave to experience that trip again, but I fear a Bad Trip again. What do you all think? Will it happen the next time? What can i do to prevent it? How can i better prepare to trip?
I've never liked to fall asleep while tripping because of that. Those weird thoughts you get before you fall asleep sober are magnified to a pretty intense state of paranoia on acid. And it's hard to fall asleep anyway. If I was you, I would better plan out trips. I wouldn't try tripping again for another two or so weeks.
acid isn't like ecstasy man, you can't just pop it cuz you're feeling groovy and have mad good times. it can be serious business. certainly not something to pop on the tail end of a night of multiple mdma doses, with nothing to do, when it's time to sleep soon. gotta respect it truly. that's how you don't have a bad trip.
Word. That is almost a perfect description of why set and setting are important, why its important to have a guide the first time, and why doing some research ahead of time is paramount. Notice how profound the first part of the trip was? And how it devolved later? In one post you managed to cover why L is both amazing and also not a toy. If you just want to play in the sandbox, I would suggest staying away from L. If you want to learn more about yourself and the world around you than you can imagine and benefit from it, do some reading and approach it with some reverence. Best of luck.
Before I ever did Acid.. I evaluated why i wanted to try it. I knew what to expect and had gotten myself into the mindset needed before taking it. You really need to take it for the right reasons otherwise it can be very scary and dangerous. You also don't need to take it if you have a fear of it... Have an open mind and don't be afraid of the unknown... Acid is life's greatest teacher.. it teaches you things about not only the world but about yourself and it can either make you or break you.
