Question dealing with bad trips

I'm new here and I have a question about acid. A friend of mine told me that smoking a joint before dropping a tab can help you get a good trip because you'll be in really good mood (of course). Just wanna know if this is true or not because I'm thinking about trying it. I've done my reasearch and know what I'm getting into and whats gonna happen. The only thing that makes me nervous about acid are the bad trips, I know they're based off your mood and smoking beforehand seems to be a good idea. Please answer if you have any info. Thanks

 

if you think your going to have a bad trip you probably will

 

i no longer smoke herb before tripping cause for me ganje makes me too anxious in social situations...but im sure for some it helps.
also i dont like to alter the expirience at all...the take of is an important part of the trip.

 

If it helps your mood, then go for it. Some people get pranoid when they smoke and that;s not good.

It's all in your head and how much control you have over your mind and emotions. YOu can turn a bad trip around. It's hard, but it can be done.

 

trip on something else first. get used to the idea of having no control over yourself and not caring. get used to telling yourself "its just the drug, itll pass" if you can do that, then you an prolly handle it.
anyway, acid today is weak (i hear, i never got off!)

 

acid and mescaline can be very strong and controlling (for me)

that's the only things I would say are strong enough to give you a bad trip, but that varies from person to person.

 

Thanks alot for the info

 

Take some MDMA 1-2hrs before the Acid, and there´ll be no risk for a bad trip (from my experience)

 

if someone has a bad attitude or is scared nothing is going to help.

 

Bad trips arn't always 'bad trips'

Difficult experiences we grow from, go in with open heart and mind. If weed makes you feel ok then cool, some people may feel good from playing scrabble, in which case Its just as valid

"acid and mescaline can be very strong and controlling (for me)

I don't know about that...you can have a bad trip on ANYTHING that makes you trip. Like antihistamines or DXM, or especially mushrooms.

 

the problem with tripping and marijuana is that marijuana cuts down your mental focus/clarity barrier. in my experience, this results in me have LESS CONTROL over my mental state during my trip. at the end of a trip smoking a joint can bring the visuals back HARDCORE but with the added issue of mental control. when i am *sober* while tripping (lol) i can manage the "rough" spots a lot easier than when my mental barrier is fucked by the weed. things get hazy and i get overwhelmed more easily when tripping AND stoned. if marijuana makes you 100% positive and uplifted 100% of the time, then pot may be good for coming into your trip. personally, pot adds a bizarre edge to a trip that i would rather prefer the trip by itself - pot is best for the comedown.
peace.

 

I hate to be a dick, but I love CandyFlipping and this is the WORST advice on this thread. I'll tell you why first of all the E will sketch you out if you've never tripped before because it significantly alters the experience and it doesn't just make you all happy. Second reason is that you come down from the roll while your tripping and I don't know if you've ever rolled before but the come down sucks, and not something you want to experience during a trip. It will definitly make your trip not a good time. I dunno if you know about Phish and their festival they had in Maine in '03 but at the IT festival I was with 4 friends all of them ate molly (mdma, x, rolls, etc.) and then proceeded to eat mushrooms, and I just ate the molly cause i didn't feel like tripping. All four of them had the worst trips of their lives, and I had a great time. Trust me if your gunna candy or hippy flip, eat the E 2 hours after you eat the shrooms or the acid. Also worst trips for me have been on shrooms, never had a bad time on acid, and never done mescaline. Acid these days is not nearly as crazy as mushrooms can be unless you spend a lot of money.

 

O.K., it seems to me that you have experience with XTC and LSD, but not exactly with pure MDMA and LSD. In lots of XTC-pills, you don´t find MDMA any more. I´d never combine LSD with a pill of which I don´t know the ingredients. But a small amount of pure MDMA (e.g. 50mgs) is no problem to go with LSD - at least from my experience (and that´s what I said in my last post).

 

Well I have experience with both, MDMA was my thing for awhile there. I liked it a lot more than even a lot of psychedellics, and in that process I found numerous different chemicals in pills, but generally with Molly.. mdma crystals, it was always MDMA (thank god for pill testing kits). But I think the difference between what I was saying and what you were saying lied in the dosage. I don't think I've ever taken a dosage of MDMA under 100mgs. But I know for a fact I've never taken a dosage as low as 50mg. So that could definitely be taken into consideration. And yes if you have pills that have speed in them, or MDA you gunna have a hell of harder time on a psychedellic, than if you take pure MDMA. And most pressies (pills) are not pure MDMA, I don't think I've ever gotten one that was. But according to the test kits, the powder tends to be the real thing half the time.
