Advice on doing Acid

So me and my friend were planning to do acid for the first this weekend. I just wanted opinions on how much to do, and what to expect, etc. Whatever you think would help:2thumbsup: !! How would it be talking to parents on acid? We were also planning to drop it at my house at about 11 pm. Is that a bad idea? Will i still be tripping in the morning?? thanks so much for all your help in advance!

 

There's a 1st time questions acid thread here which will most likely answer most your questions.

I'd say take 2 hits if you know what you have is LSD. There are some other chems being passed off as LSD, so if you are uncertain you may want to try just one. I wouldn't advise attempting to talk to your parents on acid. It is a 8-12 hour trip so you will most likely have at least some residual effects in the morning.

 

my advice: don't drop unless you have no commitments for at least 12 hours, and preferably with some time to rest after those 12 hours (as you probably won't be able to sleep until at least then unless you've got a sedative). dosing at 11p is fine, assuming you haven't woken up at 7 that morning/aren't going to be insanely tired, and also assuming you don't have anything to do the next day.

the only thing is though, no commitments would include not having to deal with authority figures which would include parents. trust me, you're not going to want to deal with the stress, even if it turns out to be no big deal- it's just not going to be worth having to worry about getting caught. if your dosing in your house, and your parents are going to be home and you have to be quiet for the night, you might want to reconsider the environment. unless your house is set up where you have your own little area you can mess around in freely, you know? it kinda depends

 

This is not the kind of drug you sneak into your room or basement corner, and do secretly, and go spray some axe on or whatever the kids do these days, and talk to your parents, and tell them you're just hungry and that's why you ate everything in the house.

Just not it. You are describing a great way to have an awful time.

By awful time I mean panic attacks, ER visits, forcibly administered tranquilizers, counselers, rehab for your drug problem, where you take crazy bath-salt-diethylamide and have violent breaks and force your parents to do it for your own good.... Or something along those lines.

Seriously. A forum search for something like "parents acid first" should tell you this much.

 

I would advise that you take it earlier than 11. 7:00 would be good because then you will be tripping at night, but it won't exhaust you. Remember that you will not be able to sleep no matter how tired you are. I would also suggest that you don't do it in a house with people you don't want to know you're tripping. There's a fair chance you will want to leap up and tell everyone in the room how amazing LSD is. In fact, I got busted once because my neighbor heard me talking about it through the wall while I was tripping. Make sure to have lots of good music, and that you have absolutely nothing to do. When you are tripping, concentrating on something you need to do is unpleasant and difficult, you'll want to do whatever it is you want.

 

Thanks very much to everyone for the replies. I have nothing to do the next day ( cant speak for my friend though haha) and i think ill take it around 7. I did shrooms in my house at about 11 with the same friend and we ended up being fine, then again i dont know what the similarities are between the two but the general consensus ive been getting is that they are similar ( please correct me if im wrong)

 

My advice is don't do it.

 

let us know how it goes :lurk5:

 

It COULD go well, just like shrooms COULD, and apparently did.

But I have a hard time being on psychedelics in a trapped type of state, unless I have a clear plan and activity set out. You can't have full run of the house, and you can't leave the house, and you can't even have anyone know that you're tripping, so you can't do normal tripping things. It sounds horrible, like taking acid in prison.

 

yeah, i've taken acid before when i've had to go to work the next day for example. and even that just wears on your mind. i did it, and it was fine, but it was definitely on my mind a lot and detracted from the trip a bit.

i've tripped around people that i didn't want to know as well. i pulled it off, and on a lower dose it's not THAT hard (especially if your level of interaction is low). but you're trip is likely to be SOOO much better if you don't have to worry about shit like that.

not to mention, it could also go completely shitty.


my best trips have been when i can most fully "let go." how can you do that with your parents in the other room (unless they are cool with you taking psychedelics)?

 

Right. At best, it's just stressful/tense, and a total waste of the trip. Really not a fun time.

I've never done it on acid, but even giving yourself an obligation or goal, like needing to make it through a public area full of strait people, can be really unpleasant.

Once I did end up on DOB (NOT as mind-fucking as acid, but more visual/audio, for me) in history class. One of the most trying, stressful, terrifying times of my life, to date. Very interesting and I don't regret it, but it was horrible. Then I had to see my mom for about 5 minutes later in the day, and it hung over me for like 4 hours leading up to that point. In the end it wasen't a big deal, but the anticipation really put a damper on my trip.

Just do yourself a favor and save it. Go camping with your friend, or something. Hurrying won't make it any better, but it could make it the worst experience of your life.

 

And pay NO attention to the snakes!! Don't even look at them.

 

Can someone tell me if shrooms and acid are in fact similar? When i took shrooms i really didnt have any visuals it was more of like emotional bonding with my friend and his girlfriend, like the first time in my life ive felt fully accepted by people. Does acid have that kind of deepness and enlightenment to it?

 

if you've done shrooms once, and LSD never, then yes, they are similar. once you've ingested them each a few times you'll be able to notice the differences, but they are difficult to describe fully.

depending on dosage, both shrooms and LSD can be very visual, or hardly visual at all. higher dose = more visuals. but the "deepness and enlightenment" that you mentioned is really what tripping is all about.

acid lasts longer than mushrooms, and IME it seems a bit more clear headed. shrooms tend to make me indecisive and a bit confused. acid usually makes me feel very connected to my surroundings and in control. though trying to maintain control is the last thing you should wanna do on LSD.

 

I feel that acid is seriously easier to control then shrooms. It's kind of like the shrooms choose a trip for you ( I've had some ridiculously intense shroom trips ) but on acid you get to create your own trip because your mind is really clear and working on maximum capacity. I have talked to my mom when I dropped acid once, was a tiny bit nervous before the actual talk cause she's anti-drugs. But when I started talking with her it became clear that I was nervous over nothing. ( just have to keep cool when seeing fractals and patterns haha). I suggest you do it, if you know you can keep calm and you're not planning to take more than 2 doses for your first experience.

 

i would hope that the OP has good, potent doses. in that case, 2 can be too much to be able to talk. period.
it's more likely that 2 will be a moderate experience, but for your 1st time tripping, it should blow you away.

also, i've talked to my mom while on shrooms. it was less than 2 grams, and it was fine..but i would never recommend talking to your mom on shrooms (or acid)

 

Aha so I am not the only one who has limited visuals on shrooms. My roommate was tripping pretty hard whereas I was just kind of confused and "light-feeling," with almost no visuals.

 

there is an old adage here in the psychedelic forums of HFs...
"increase dose"

 

LOLLOL

i know right!:2thumbsup:

 

It can. You are very much in a mentally enlightened state of mind. 1 hit can also be low on visuals. People say even acid is more mentally clearer and very much sharp and in-tune with your normal self vs. shrooms, which can make ya think a little crazy.

Enjoy and let us know how it goes!
