So it's been quite a while since Ive been on this sight. I know I don't have many posts here, but I was an avid reader last year. I sort of lost touch with my computer in these last few months, therefor I stopped hitting this place up. But now I've obviously returned, with quite a few new experiences and a significanty better equipped knowledge of psychedelics. Since I've been gone, swim has increased their number of total acid voyages to 16. They've also began using jwh-018 heavilly, tripped on dxm multiple times, dmt once, draminhydinate, salvia, Molly(pure MDMA) and a handful of pills. I know I'm not as experinced as many people on here, but I feel I'm a much more knowledgeable psychonaut than your everyday 17 year old kid. Basically I'm here typin this up because I wanna start sharing swim's experiences with using psychedelics, particularly LSD.. Recently, someone who isn't me picked up a ten strip of some damn good blotters. 40th anniversary DC charcter hits actually. Lol. Like I said, swim has been tripping heavilly in the past 4 months. All of swims trips have been on just one hit, with the exception of one time of 1.5, which has generally been a sufficient amount. Swim tripped last Tuesday on a dc blotter and it was great.. This week sometime, tho, the plan is to take a much higher dosage (3-5). The reason frthis extreme decision (based on previous choices) is that ego death is being sought. Swim is looking for an extreme experience, a total loss of self. Im posting this as a precursor to my trip Report. I'm not sure when swim is going to dose yet, but I'll most like keep you guys (if anyone is even interested) posted. That's basically it.. If you have anything to say go ahead and speak your mind. Also, if anyone reading has experienced ego death, tell your story. Stay trippy.
I find it amazing that you have tried acid 16 times but not eaten 3-5 hits before. It sounds like you are ready to take a higher dose. I have only tripped 4 times, and I have taken 3 hits of some realllly strong blotter, and I must say that I wasn't even close to the point at which I imagine I would need to be to achieve ego loss. I would say if you are comfortable try taking 3 hits because the visuals are spectacular and such, and then the next time take 5-6 to get closer to ego loss. My next trip is going to be on bicycle day, and it will be on 4-5 drops of some liquid I haven't tried yet. I have no doubt I will have a crazy experience and there will be a large chance of some ego slayin.
If you have never taken more than 1 hit i strongly recommend slowly going to 3-5 hits. LSD is VERY powerful and can cause bad effects in someone with any sort of brain disorder. You may not even know that it is there and then once you overdose it comes out. I spoke with Bear a few months before he died about a friend of mine who had taken 7 hits of acid at a phish show and lost contact with reality. He is not the same and now is suffering from shit that he never thought would happen. He had taken small amounts previously and upon ingesting a bigger amount he went insane. Im just warning you that bad things can happen. I've been to the point of becoming naked, and banging my head on concrete, to the point where you forget you're on acid, you forget everything and things begin to fall apart and that was after taking 3 WoW from a Furthur show. The risk is always there when you talking about one of the most potent hallucinogens on the planet, be careful, be smart. A little can go a long way.
Sure glad it's come around and stayed. 2 is my usual dosage, 'bout a dozen or so trips. Gets pricey for me further, lol. I'd like 5 or so sometime. Tha'd be crazy. edit: look out for mushies to! Lucys nice, but part of a big family.:sunny:
my first real time with LSD, i ate 4 hits. at a rave. i would have liked to be alone. but its impossible to escape ppl at a rave lol peace TO
It must surely depend on the strength of the trips you are getting....the dalai lamas I have been getting lately are insane, I cannot even fathom what it must be like taking 5 of those....total madness....which could be fun!
Well guys it has been a long fucking time since I've frequented this site.. I just saw this post and decided I'd update all who read and basically give it a bump. Since posting this almost 2 years ago MUCH has changed. There have been many unreported significant psychedelic adventures since then. After posting this that 5 hit dose did indeed occur but failed to procure ego death in any way. I believe the guy that dropped those hits wasn't mentally prepared for ego death. Needless to say that trip was indeed the most intense LSD has ever brought on for me. The reason I ultimately decided to bump this is because I recently experienced what I consider to be my first ego death without even having the thought to strive for it pre-trip. After eating approximately 4.5 grams of powdered psilocybe cubensis, I entered one of the most intense trips of my life to date. It wasn't the highest dose ever consumed (about a year and a half ago I munched down an entire half oz of shrooms that reacted particularly strangely with my mind. I ended up entering another realm and basically became oblivious to what was going on in reality. I don't remember screaming "P42!" endlessly or fighting the cops and hospital personelle relentlessly lol) but it certainly felt like it. This trip changed me forever in a different way than the rest of my experiences.. For weeks after I stayed mostly to myself and thought, ALOT. i just wanted to catch up those who commented on my OP. I did end up trying higher doses of LSD and I loved it, however I began using it quite a bit and I now rest at 22 total trips, most being solo. I've also taken 4-ho-met which was an interesting shroom like experience. My total number of trips has likely tripled since the last time I logged in to hipforums, and my mind has certainly experienced the resulting pros and cons.
I must say, I'm not sure I wish you as many pros as cons. Your attitude only seems marginally better at best, and possibly worse. And it was pretty bad, not to mention pretentious and obnoxious, from the start.
You're acting like you will get a gold star for the number of times you trip. Like its a "You're 30th trip is free!!" type of deal. Your mind is too immature to safely handle the chemicals you're putting into it. I would suggest laying off of drugs and try to figure out how to grow up.
OP sounds a little egocentric, remember you're not the only one to trip and that acid isn't always LSD
Elaborate on how my attitude came off as obnoxious? Sure when I first posted on hipforums when I was 15 I acted my age, especially in my window grow post. But here? Like I said, this was and still is me writing of my psychedelic adventures. Is it just me or do you guys love to instantly become hostile to most new posters here? I'm simply sharing my experiences and updating from my original post and this is the response you have? I don't see how you can sit here and criticize my attitude when you react like that.
So stating how many times I've dosed is a crime here too? You may take my statement of prior experiences as bragging or an attempt to gain a "gold star", but you're sadly mistaken. I said what I said to educate those that read about my experience in using psychedelics. However, I agree with your final point; I was a bit young to be experimenting with the amount of drugs that I did. Would I change any of it? NO! It has made who I am today, a man I'm proud to be. I'm not afraid to speak of the substances I used and abused or the resulting experiences that shape who I am and what I believe in. Excuse me for being passionate and curious at a younger age than most. I apologize if you've been somehow angered by my indulgences. Honestly though, I don't see why it's of any concern to you how immature I was when I decided to partake.
Egocentric, perhaps in some aspects. Ignorant as to what LSD's usual effects and manifestations are? Most certainly not. I've taken bunk doses and I've taken substances misproperly labeled as LSD. I've also consumed LSD from a very reliable secondary source (as in he gets it from the producer in bulk). It's not hard to recognize when you've consumed something that isn't truly LSD, IMO.
