Hey all, been lurking this forum for a few months and decided to make an account to ask a question. I have this tab here which I'm pretty sure is 150ug, This will be my first time taking acid and I still wan't to have a sense of ego and not completely loose sense of reality, should I cut the tab in half or just have the whole thing? Thanks for any help
Take it all! You won't regret it. But considering the first dose was only 25 mics...half a tab might do the trick, but may not...therefore it is better to take it all, and not worry about it working.
First dose? You mean Hofmann's first intentional dose of LSD-25? That was 250ug, not 25 25 is basically like having a cup of coffee. Take the whole tab reborn, even if its very strong stuff you're not going to lose your whole ego. And I know it's your first time so you want to babystep into the experience, but I can tell you from experience it's much less painful to just take 2-3 hits and have the full acid experience instead of half-assing it and having a weird impression of your half-trip that was no doubt uncomfortable because you were stuck halfway out in sobriety. What's the print on the tab?
I highly suggest taking the WHOLE thing! Trust me on this one, I took 1 tab not long ago expecting it to be mild in potency..but it was muchhhh stronger then i expected. But it was so beautiful.. completely euphoric, in a constant state of arousal, just simply amazing. You most likely will not have to worry about ego loss. I think you will great time and won't regret it :sunny:
oh! I misheard...I heard Hoffmans first dose as .0025 milligrams, but i confirmed he said 0.25 milligrams, my bad!
Thanks guys I'm away at the moment so I can't remember the print-out on the tab but tomorrow I will post what it is if you guys are interested. I only worry because I have to meet up with people after about 5 hours after I take the tab and I need to act normal, if it wasn't for that, I would take 5
Someone once told me "friends don't let friends cut tabs." Haha that is of course unless you have non-perforated doses that need cut out.
Is that a joke? You want to take LSD for your first time and meet people you have to act sober with while in the peak effects? This is going to end in disaster dude. Use your head please . . . not only are you not going to be able to act sober but this is going to completely ruin your first LSD experience. Lose lose. Reschedule, don't even kid yourself man.
Listen to this man! A reschedule sounds like a great idea. The effects of LSD can last up to 12 hours. maybe more...
You haven't developed the skills required to "act normal" 5 hours after taking your first hit. When you can block out 10 hours of time take the whole thing and try to forget you took it while meditating or doing some safe activity you love. (gardening, painting, drawing, etc.)
Thanks for the advice guys, looking back on the situation, you were right, I'm going to reschedule for a later date where there will be no pressure on sobering up quickly. If this date is not possible, would if be a safe idea to take the Tab during the night, obviously I would be well rested and I have heard that LSD makes it hard to go to sleep, would it be good if I take it in a safe comfortable environment with a sitter and I stay up all night while on the effects of the drug? Again, any help is greatly appreciated
Yes, but don't plan on getting any sleep so make sure the next day is a lazy day with no responsibilities. Actually Hoffman's first dose amount is unknown as it was accidental. His second dose that was planned was .25mg, an amount he considered "safe" and small enough to produce only mild effects to confirm that what he experienced days earlier was actually the result of the LSD-25 he was working with. Boy was he in for a surprise. LSD is noticeable at about 20ugs, with 100ugs being an average dose. 250ug and up is where you begin to really encounter the full blown psychedelic experience with the possibility of an "ego-dissolution" experience.
Lots of people drop at night, just make sure you have the next day completely off from any responsibilities. No work, no having to meet people, nothing. You're not gonna sleep for 12 hours straight and it's gonna mess up your day/night cycle for a few days. I would recommend not dropping too late or rescheduling and dropping during the day, no need to fight your circadian rhythm. I know you wanna jump right in but surely there can be a better day found soon!
Thanks for help everybody, you guys are great!! I will find a suitable time to take it, hopefully during the day so I can observe nature and such. If I can, I will post a trip report if you guys are interested
Good advice, and good you considered it. I vote for an hour or so before sunset. And in nature is always good...
