Lsd

After reading the sticky above, I would still like some hands on experience people to reply
First off, I have only smoked weed. I haven't experienced with other drugs because they have really fucked my family over and almost killed my sister. I do want to broaden my horizons though - just not with meth, cocaine, heroin...
I am fully aware of how dangerous LSD is and that is why I have some questions. I am pretty fucking scared of taking LSD once and never coming back - I've heard of this only too often. Who has taken LSD and has some hands-on knowledge for me? Is there a way I can possibly stay away from bad trips?

I was thinking of trying it a few days ago, but last night I had a dream that I took LSD and killed someone. That scared the shit out of me...

 

most of my freinds who have tried lsd never had a bad trip. id just say have a good mindset "go with the flow" and be in a spot that is like home .

 

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it
Also, do you think it might help to smoke some ganj beforehand?
And who here prefers shrooms over LSD?

 

ive never tried earthier of them cuz im a. to broke. b have money and cant find them. id like to try them tho. but from what ive heard most try an 8th of shrooms before attempting lsd. and ive also heard that smoking weed helps smooth the trip out a little bit.

 

Thanks again for the input

 

You won't take LSD and not come back, but it can change you and bring forth issues in some negative ways if you're not prepared or unlucky. Alot of LSD today is dosed fairly low so it still can be a huge shift in your perception of reality but bad trips are not frequent.

I enjoy the trip alot, it doesn't even feel like a 'high' it's more of an experience and can be quite profound.

I don't like pot with LSD personally but some people feel it enhances the trip, it's really up to you. I'd never recommend anyone to adulterate their first LSD trip with pot.

 

yeah i tried pot with dxm and that was some intense shit acid is just gonna be more crazy haha

 

Well tbh, your questions deserve much more space than a few lines here... but here's a couple of short answers.
(background: several trips 20+yrs ago and only one recently, experienced with many other psyches)
If you are serious about exploring L safely and discovering what it may have to offer you, I would suggest taking time and reading some literature.

This is pretty much completely false. L is amazingly safe from a toxicity standpoint, the greatest danger lies in the results of the effects and doing unsafe things while in an altered state. There is a very slight chance of L potentiating an existing underlying emotional or psychological problem, that's it. If you have true depression or other issues, it's best to stay away. Otherwise, "never coming back" doesnt happen. Neither does it stay in your spinal fluid, bind to your bones, make you crazy, etc etc. It has some of the most outragous urban legends surrounding it tho.
For some reading to get you started I could suggest these:
http://www.maps.org/home/ look under "resources"
Erowid has alot of useful stuff, if you're not familiar. http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/

Is there a chance you might have someone that would be a guide for your first trip? This is often advised with good reason. Not just some stoner you know but a level-headed person you trust with experience. It will make all the difference. There are steps you can take to prepare for the experience that will practically eliminate the chance of a bad trip.

If there's any questions I can help with, hit back. I'll try if I can. I'm glad you're approaching it with respect and trying to educate yourself rather than just going off. Peace and good vibes.

 

If you were fully aware of how dangerous LSD is you wouldn't be in here asking. Don't worry about not coming back i had that when i was 16 like 30 mins before i came up, it's just propaganda drilled into your head before you do it.

 

This too is good advice.

 

My first trip i smoked constant hash bongs throughout and it was proper good! Made one tab completely ego loss me. I wouldn't recommend it though i haven't touched a bong since i was 17.

 

You'll come back to earth; this I promise. Just don't love it too much like so many of us and start dosing multiple times a month. That's when things get bad as ego loss moves intensely into sobriety.
Even then, it's still not insanity or schizophrenia. The only thing to fret about with tripping is fearing the worst such as permanent mental debilitation.
Don't Do This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(can't stress it enough)
You will get HIGH, if your senses are put to good use then a great trip is guaranteed, and remember to correct a trip gone bummer, all you gotta do is make a 'trip' out of your 'trip' and head out the fucking door for an amazing walk (trust me, it will be amazing, as long as you aren't in the projects)

Oh and last important thing to take note of, don't expect the effect; let it flow as you do life and just go with where it leads you within reason. By doing this you will reap the most positive benefits that I can personally think of

Happy trips upon the trails!

 

'But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of pretty simple things. You forget, because you're so busy going from A to Z, that there's 24 letters in between..'

This quote says it all. LSD let's you see the big picture. With that knowledge your disposition on life is changed. Some people take it to heart and some people don't. The key to psychedelics is taking what you have learned and integrating it into your life for the better.

 

Take acid without weed the first time. After the first time, acid+weed is awesome.

You won't "not come back". But it can change you. You'll still be you and here, you'll just be different, in good and/or bad ways.

The traditional "bad trip" is basically an urban legend, but you can have a difficult trip. Of course, if you don't value the chemical, a difficult trip could be "bad" and you might give up. Those people shouldn't be on acid anyway though, IMO.

Set and setting are everything, and you need to have a firm handle on what it is that you've taken, and what it is that it does, and you need to know yourself well and be able to calm yourself and control your emotions if needbe.

A good "training" for traditional psychedelics is salvia divinorum, in a reasonably high extract. It's NOTHING like acid, but it teaches you to handle some types of thought that I can't (or won't, I'm hungry and don't even know where to begin) describe. And it is basically impossible to damage your outside life with salvia, after a day or so it seems very far away, due to it's nature. Don't expect to "enjoy" salvia, but I would suggest that you learn about it, prepare properly, and take a few salvia trips, before moving on to other psychedelics.

Last but not least: "Fight the ocean and you will drown"-the truth, GTA:SA

*edit* also, erowid.org

 

yeah try some 60x saliva its pretty good

 

I think Acid is a good training for Salvia Divinorum.

Realistically though acid and Salvia are such different trips I don't think taking one really prepares you for the other. I would argue DXM is a better 'training' for acid just because of the duration and ROA.

 

well ive done my training for acid with dxm at high doses several times then

 

Well I guess the half assed way I wondered into psychedelics makes it hard for me to say. I actually did DXM before either salvia or acid, by a period of nearly two years.

But the whole time, I would have preferred to have acid, and I think I could have handled it just fine if I had been able to get it at that time.

I know salvia's very different, but I think being able to deal with it sort of shows someone can take some psychedelia. It's also sort of a risk free trial, even though it's scary as fuck (even on a "good" salvia trip) it won't bleed over and make you schizo, while even a "good" acid trip can expose a lot more negative things than salvia. (IMO)

I just wouldn't recommend that a lot of people jump strait into traditional psychedelics. They may not be able to hurt you, but if you have little understanding or experience with drugs, even if you have a good time and think it's for the best, it can throw you a bit "off", and make people superstitious or that sort of thing. (ie. let's not start personifying chemicals or meeting new gods, please.... if anything, let's work on forgetting the old gods )

 

I went from pot to one shroom trip to LSD, I think experience with pot and a good amount of learning about the drug you plan to ingest via the online sources available regarding psychedelics is about all one needs.

 

I'd agree, you can find anything you need about drugs online, enough to safely take any drug you might find (that can be safely taken, of course).

About pot: It's both a very soft and very hard psychedelic, thought to see the hard side before taking OTHER hard psychedelics, you need to smoke a LOT of pot, for a reasonably long period of time. And then quit cold turkey, for a little while. At least, again, IMO.

I was just saying, there's things to help you prepare for LSD if it's intimidating on it's own. Tripping without being sure you want to or while being scared (not just nervous or anxious, but really scared of it, due to insufficent research) will lead to a BAD time. That's the kind of thing that sets up the classic "i'll be like this for ever" or "what if I die right now" thought loops.

Don't just take everyone's word for it that "acid's harmless", and drop, is all I'm saying.

Also, learning about lots of different drugs can give you a spectrum or plane to place things on, to compare things to, even if you've never taken ANY of the drugs in question. Read about different classes of drugs, and different drugs within those classes, with the most descriptive trip reports you can, I would suggest.

Guerilla, your signature is very...... phenethylamine.
