First LSD trip. Advice Please?.

So I'm planning on doing my first acid trip this weekend, and I just want a few pointers from people who know what's up.

So, I'm getting two tabs. They're supposed to be 80 micros a piece. I'm 15, 5'8", and like 170 lbs. and I want to trip balls. I have been diagnosed with depression but I've gained a few coping skills since then. I am currently not on any medicine. I mean I wanna just get so gone but still maintain a good experience you know?.

The only things I've ever tried before are ganja and salvia (20x). I've been smoking weed for about 8 months now, and I tried salvia a little while back.

So my main questions are:
- How much do I take?.
- Should I try a weaker hallucinogen first?.
- If I start to have a bad trip, what do I do?.
- Is there any way I can sway what I see at all?.
- How long will my trip last?.
- In a general sense, how will it make me feel?.
- Am I gonna be super depressed the next day/following days?.

 

You do not know how much to take and we cannot tell you because you cannot measure a dose.

Salvia is crazy and horrific unlike LSD.

Bad trip...... make sure your setting is good then you won't have a bad trip. Even horrible scary anxiety trips i've had in the past i wouldn't call them bad just difficult.

LOL at noob visuals question.

trip will last on how strong the hits are. 8-12 hours round about normally.

it will make you feel in ways words cannot describe or don't do justice.... could try an explain but i cant be assed.

You might do, most don't and the first time i did it i felt great for 2 months following.

 

If it's your first time and you want to trip hard find somebody to do it with you, or somebody legit who wouldn't fuck with you. Along with a good setting.

I would say take both hits, you should get some visuals going on. You'll be in the best mood of your life is the best way to describe it for me.
If you have a bad trip think happy thoughts, happy thought.This is when it is good to have another person with you, he/she can talk with you and comfort you. It helps a lot.
Don't be expecting to be seeing unicorns and shit like every other kid does. look into it a bit. You can't really control what you see.
If you aren't pleased with your trip smoke a bowl, this kinda makes it easier to have a bad trip. (So I've heard, I haven't had a bad trip)
The next day you will be tired as shit. Your mind will be a little confused still thinking, what the fuck happened last night?

Have a nice trip man :mickey:

 

ok first- of if you smoke buts buy two packs you may wanna smoke
-wear comfy lose clothes just makes everything nicer in general.
- have a place to just chill and relax where you can listen to music.
-just take one see how it hits you if in two to four hours it isn't enough try

​

another.
-its best to take acid and forget about it. dont think about tripping or wait to

​

trip do something to keep you busy and you will suddenly

​

realize your starting to feel different
- the whole day before you trip and all though the trip tell yourself your gonna

​

have an amazing time out loud to yourself. just say I'm gonna

​

trip, its gonna be beautiful and I'll love it
- tripping is really fun outside good thing to consider
- its best to trip with some one else maybe another person tripping plus one

​

sober for your first time
- have fun be safe, and try and learn something from every trip
acid expands the mind

 

Be yourself. Don't treat the drug as a foreign entity. Treat it as though its an experience, not a high. Maintain friend, the emotions you will feel will be unlike anything you've ever experienced. DO NOT TRY TO PUT ANYTHING INTO CONTEXT WITH USUAL REALITY. All this will do is confuse you.

Other than that, good setting, good friends, and have good music at the ready. 'The Velvet Underground' are a great band to keep a level plain.

Best of luck to you!

 

Be with a good friend, or someone you can trust well. Someone who wouldn't fuck with tripping people. Because of what you said about yourself, I doubt you know this kind of person.....

"I wanna get fucked up"=go drink a 4loko.

You don't need to spout some holier than thou bullshit about spirituality to trip. But it WILL expand your mind, though not always in a way that you will like. I don't think that you understand how powerful acid is, or respect it enough.

There are some things that are great for just tripping balls, but LSD is much more of an emotional investment than that. You might not see a thing, or nothing startling, and still end up crying in the fetal position for the duration of your trip.

If tripping balls is your goal, you may BOTH fail to achieve your goal, AND have a very bad time.

I'll be the one to say it, as always. I wanted acid when I was 15, and I'm glad I didn't have it. You obviously don't want to take LSD for the right reason (yet), because when you're 15 there really isn't a reason. I would suggest you take a lot of acid, just not quite yet. A lot of what makes it special is the contrast with normality, and your normality is fundamentally different in every way from how it will be in a few years.

 

Ok to roorshack new friend ... 1 not sure where your at but if you return to maine they brought back locos ( new formula though) yesterday I bought out a store before they had even put them out on the shelfs
2 I'm sorry maybe some of the kinda dose head religious cult stuff was uncalled for and im sorry to captain kid if this deters you or gives you the wrong idea because it shouldn't,..
however acid for me got me to stop pretty much all other drugs which i had a big problem with. so for me acid is like my savior you know its my own little church on a tab, kinda like the church of peace and knowledge. (for me at least it takes everything i thought was set in stone and makes rethink it which i love

 

Oh, I totally believe it.

Even if you go into acid wanting all the wrong things, it can help you a huge amount.

But I think it can also do a lot of harm, and I think that you need a certain amount of life under your belt before tripping is worthwhile, or for that matter, not harmful, if this makes sense.

It builds on what you have, and you've got to have more than a high school sphomores view of things to do much with it. At that point you haven't been mature enough and free enough long enough to see the kinds of things that LSD can help you reconcile.

I could just be spouting bullshit, but I do mean the best. I think that to "trip balls" like the OP wants, salvia is a much better option for young people. I've never met ANYONE who was hurt by salvia in a long term kind of way, and I've met many who where very damaged by LSD, even if they didn't know it. Even on this website. Salvia keeps your trip OUT of reality, they can't blend, a bad trip is easy to walk away from after a day or two, because it's in such a different world. Acid changes this one, and so can help OR hurt a lot more, but if you're not old enough to be helped you will probably be hurt.

Sorry these posts are jumbled as shit.......

 

I feel like you have to have a good knowledge of who you are as a person, really think about your values and whats important in life. then you take acid as an experience not a way to get fucked up sure you can do acid and just wanna trip sac but it wont be nearly as meaningful or valuable to you.
Yeah roorshack I agree that you can really hurt yourself with acid if you arnt sound enough with your self to be able to work you self through if you end up in a difficult halucination. A guy I met a a festival ( folks called him the grandfather of trip)- a very old head, he told me there is no such thing as a bad trip just a trip that you were not yet ready to experience, I like to think of it that way

 

I do agree with you about what acid can do, but are you saying this guy should trip?

Because I think that based on age alone, he should NOT. There's a bunch of burn outs who tell me that there's no age requirement on enlightenment, but they're flat out wrong. You've got to have something to fix/enlighten, first.

That aside, He's going to do it, so:

OP, to answer your question, learn to fucking research. All the info you're asking for has been repeated thousands upon thousands of times. Why do you even want to take acid, if you have NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT IT DOES? Read some trip reports, there's plenty on HF, check out places like erowid, even wikipedia.

On the other hand, you could just eat your bits of paper, and research the hard way. LSD is one of the few drugs where stupidity can't PHYSICALLY hurt you... unless you try to fly

At least have a trustworthy friend there. Better yet, have a trustworthy friend take two themselves.

 

what will it be like? the longest 8 to 12 hours of you life with amazing crazy thoughts that become real. in my oppinion acid scares the shit out of me but yet i still want more its amazing but scary hmm how to make it not scary? dont take it

 

---Roorshack to answer you question I dont know if he should take it he would have to decide on his own,,,---- after Extensive research!!!!! of all aspects from the chemisty - to the effects both negative and positive, and i feel its history is quite important as well.
I feel he also should not take it untill (like you have stated) gets out of that get fucked up additude about it there are other drugs to was your money on that arn't as powerful for him to earn some cool stories to tell his friends.
-----Now nick I dont really understand the scary part of acid you are talking about. I suppose your talking about having a bad trip, but for me when I have a bad trip itsa not scary its just not fun to be halucinating anymore.
your mind is more powerful then the acid, and if you are in tune with yourself you can use logic to keep a level head-( for a first timer a sober friend or experienced acid user should be your logic probably) if your not metally prepaired to experience and (in my opinion) orchestrate your trip to your liking then its not time for you to take acid weather your 12 or 50

 

I may be young, but I know enough. I feel I am ready to experience this. I wouldn't try it if I had a doubt.

 

I read a little bit on this site before I made this thread, and yes, I do want to try it to get pretty high and have a good time. And after I read those threads and such, I saw that the drug is perceived more to "enlightenment" than a drug. And yes, I would like to learn a great deal while trying it. I'm just not going to be like other people who say they're gonna try it to learn something when in fact they just wanna hallucinate. the main thing that got my eyes set on lsd was my want for a hallucination, yes. But after some thinking and reading I realized I would like to have more insight about myself and the world. But that is not the reason I got interested in the drug, so I just said I'm doing it to trip because learning things wasn't my first intention.


^^ If all that makes sense.

And tbh, I don't really like salvia. Costs too much, makes me sweat, trip lasts like 5 minutes. = no bueno.

And I do know what acid does. I have read PLENTY of trip reports. I just never took the time to research EXACTLY how it made you feel, so I figured I could just ask it here. I know enough about LSD. I'm not one of the people who jump into things without knowing anything about it.



But thank you for your response. It has helped.

 

if both hits are really 80 mics each you'll have a great time just as long as you don't put yourself in a bad situation. I recommend not going outside with friends and chilling around because that usually begins to get hectic, at least for me. If you take both hits you'll be tripping for 12 hours, or maybe more. I myself am 15 and I get hit with some serious visuals if the hits I took were real and didn't degrade.

 

both tabs

Not necessary, and if you've already had a real salvia trip, apparently thats a million times more intense than acid anyways.

Slow down, and figure out why you are having a bad trip. You can't run or hide from a bad trip, you can only solve what's bugging you while you're on acid. Address the issue and hopefully you will learn something.

You won't hallucinate like how you've been told you will. That's complete bullshit. You won't see pink elephants or anything like that. You should listen to music and be somewhere beautiful and comfortable. Past that you should understand that to have the best, safest, and most rewarding psychedelic experience, you don't try and sway the experience to what you want, you allow yourself to bend easily to where it takes you. Acid takes you.

8-12 hours

Your senses will be amplified, unhinged, and flowing together. It will be difficult to tell what is a thought and what is a sense signal. Sights and sounds will not seem so different. You will find yourself in eternity and infinity. You will feel a grand euphoria. You will be stimulated and relaxed at the same time. Simple tasks will become impossible or extremely complex.

You might be, especially if you have depression problems. It is taxing on the brain, and you will definitely feel a little tired the next day or two, but it's not as bad as say, MDMA, in terms of the hangover.

I think you're way too young for this as well, no matter how you feel (bravery and stupidity often look the same ), but good luck, I hope it's LSD, and enjoy.

 

15 is not too young. In fact the more life you have behind you the more complex the trips become.

 

And the more life you have in front of you with less to ground you in reality, the more likely you are to become one of those tin foil hat wearing headcases who will tell you about telepathy and freemasons every time you JUST want a sack of weed.

You take acid to bring out complexities. That's what it does. Complexities in your brain, personality, thoughts, life, life's experiences, and more. It lets you look at those things in new ways. If you're forming them when you take it, you can end up with a very crooked view of reality, even without predispositions to mental illness.

Why does EVERY single person to ever choose your avatar have to be silly, shallow, ditsy, annoying and offer dangerous, harmful advice?

OP, I don't think it will be the end of the world if you take acid, and you are better prepared than you seemed to be in your first post, but I still think it's a poor idea at your point in life, with little to gain. It's not wrong to take a psychedelic just to see shit, but I can see it messing you up, and can't see why you can't wait a few years. I'm not talking about that long, I would suggest until you're 18, I think it's a very well chosen age to consider being an adult. (of course, the idea of being 21 for intoxication is probably because for a lot of people, that's where the changes stop being so profound and they get used to being an adult, instead of being reminded all day long. I'm not that old, and trip, so I can't say anything about not tripping until then). Even 17 would be a lot better than 15, it's a big difference.

 

I keep thinking on and on about how I really wanna learn a lot from this experience. I know I'm pretty young, but I will sure as hell try to learn a lot, and post it back on here. I should be getting it today so we'll see how that goes.

 

It's fine if you drop acid at a young age as long as you don't allways have your head in that overwhelming mindframe. If you were a loner type person and droped acid by yourself. that would be a huge problem. it's not good to overthink. you start to find out things other people don't know. in modern society it's not sane to be thinking so deeply all the time because you'll be so used to it and you'll keep doing it. I can't really explain it good but. BELIEVE ME there's such thing as being too smart that your just fucking crazy.
