14 and thinkin about taking LSD, what are some things i need to know?

Hi everyone

Ok i'm 14 and smoke alot of weed and i always wanted to take a drug that will take me out of this world ( i still love weed) but last night i was watching Drug Years on VH1 and they were talking about LSD, the drug of the 70's (next to weed), they were talking about these crazy trips you go on, they were talking about how like you see colors and enegires and alot of other things. Though what are the side effects of it and are is there anything i got to remember before i take it? I also here you can have like bad trips, what can i do to raise my chances of having a good happy trip? How long do these trips last? How much does LSD cost?


-Please no lectures about how young i am to smoke weed or take LSD, it goes in one ear and out the other, so just save your time.

Oh yea, why do alot of people not take LSD, i mean why is it not around anymore, becuase on Drug Years they made it sound like almost everyone did it so why did everyone just stop.

 

One thing I will stress the most is make sure you are emotionaly ready to take this drug. Do as much research as you can. I understand that is what you are trying to do right now, but read unbiased books, (Illegal Drugs by Paul Gahlinger is good), search legit websites.

As far as side effects go, nothing too serious, since everything induced by the drug is really all in your head. The worst thing that can happen is to have a bad trip which is just a terrifying experience. Like I said, mentally prepare yourself for LSD. DO NOT take it while depressed/upset/irritated/angry, etc. Be excited and happy when you take it. Tell yourself you are ready to experience a mind blowing trip. JUST REMEMBER, ITS ALL IN YOUR HEAD IF YOU HAVE A BAD TRIP!!!!

It stopped because, well, they made it illegal. And it's very hard to make LSD. You need different ingredients which are hard to obtain. In short, lots of work, little profit. Sad, really. And since it's illegal, no one is allowed to research on this drug. It was so popular, I think, because the country was in a time of exploration and rebellion. There were new ideas everywhere! The sixties really were amazing...huh, what?

 

And you ARE too young...oh wait, I guess you didn't even see this. Typical.

 

lmao... so ignorant
go ahead take L
not like were going to be able to stop you
it costs 8-10 a hit but since your so young look at paying more if your able to find it.
Acid commonly comes in gells or blots. You can get it in drops, surgar cubes, life savers, ect tho. Make sure you dont have a history of any major mental illnesses in your family and that you take acid in a friendly enviroment. When your on acid you will say and do dumb things... if your around your parents when on acid... they will likely know. If your afraid of a bad trip... you'll freak out. Idk what else to say... other then 14 is to young to be taking acid but w/e... good luck!

 

try shrooms first. Also depending on where you live, you might not be even able to find
acid. Luckily I live in San Francisco. ; )

 

Yeah id wait a couple years.

 

I understand people say wait a cuple of years but by the sound of things it doesn't seem like you will and I was just a year onlder than you when i did my first 'cid trip. I would never recommend anyone to do that because basically I got lucky. Lucky in that my mind was able to make teh most of it and has done ever since. It inspires me and I always have a great trip.

The thing is when you start doing stuff like 'cid at a young age you dont analyse why you want to try it. which is something everyone should do. What is it that you want fomr it? "getting wasted" is an answer but a lame and dangerous one. Also if you're being stubborn about hearing older peoples experiences you should analyse why too. Smoking weed is great but smoking loads and allowing it to define who you are isn't IMO what anyone should want to be about. There's more to life.

Side effects are negligible UNLESS you have a history, family tendency or predisposition to any form of mental illness.

All you need to know apart from that is that its ALL about : Mind set and setting. you'll hear this repeated over and over again. Basically an LSD trip is ALL from your own mind. I mean the drug makes you trip out but WHAT you trip out is in your own head. SO if your head is prone to negativity or various weaknesses it may produce a bad trip. If not its a goo done.

Also, sorry to lecture but from my own experiences: LSD made me excel in school for a year or so, then i became disinterested in studies prefereing to hang out with friends and take drugs and read bookd unrelated to my studies. I messed up the next two years of my studies and regret it to this day. I'm happy and content with my life but if i could talk to a 14 year old me I would love to just love to tell them to apply herself.

*hopes she is talking to the 14 year old her heh heh*

 

I dropped my first acid when I was 14 and I had a great time. I do recommend getting your hands on mushrooms before you try acid because with mushrooms you can take a lower dose and see how you like it. With acid you never know how good it is. One tab could chew you up and spit you out of reality.

 

14 is not too young to drop acid... Acid is safe if you know what your doing and are in a good mood and a happy environment, just keep away from public and do it with a few close friends and you will be fine, if you start to have a bad trip remind yourself that you took acid or just space out on something random.

 

Personally I think 14 is a bit to young to be taking acid...but...anyway...

If you insist...

Make sure the reasons you are taking acid are the right ones and you are emotionally ready for the experience. What is going to happen to you is intense...if you are looking for something to expand your mind fair enough but If you are wanting to just get wasted I'd advice trying other things first.

Take it is a safe place with people you trust. You will be very vulnerable on acid, especially on your first time.
Also like someone else said...mind and setting...

Also please do some research about this drug before taking it. I read Timothy Leary's The psychedelic experience before taking my first acid trip....that seemed to help me think about what was going to happen.

Also I do stress this. After you have taken one hit if it dosn't seem to be working please wait HOURS before taking another hit. Acid can take hours to start working. I was impatient on my first trip and ended up taking 3 tabs. I regret it ...I was high for a good 24 hours and the first half of my trip was so intense i don't think I have ever gone back to that place and I was pretty damn scared for alot of it. Luckily the trip I had when i came down abit was so amazing it didn't stop me taking acid again..but...I wish i hadn't been such an idiot and took 3 tabs in the first place really.

 

I'm sorry to be an ass, but 14 is too young to take acid, period. 14 is too young to drink for goodness' sake, because the brain is still developing and it is much more prone to alteration/damage during the teenage years. I tend to take an Aldous Huxley view of acid... I think even your average adult is probably unprepared for it, so your average 14 year old? No way.

 

whoever said to wait till your older is absolutely right u havent even existed on this planet for two decades and theres enough shit besides acid to worry about for eons. this very post is evidence of ur inexperience u dont really know anything about lsd u should practically be intimate with the effects b4 u even try it.its a very powerful substance and altho studies have been done and no real neurotoxicity is evident nobody truly knows what happens when lsd enters the brain. the experience can incredibly warp your reality for sometime even after the drug wears off and science cant explain certain effects such as ego loss synisthesia and the overwhelming change in consciousness. the chemical structure of the drug itself resembles the neurotransmitter seretonin and has caused unbeleivable effects in the past such as color blind ppl seeing color and plenty of successful use in psychotherapy however there have also been countless disasters mostly ppl hurt in bad trips but it has caused onset of almost every mental illness there is and i can personally attest to a lasting almost delusional state which isnt either positive or negative simply different. i can sense that i am more emotionally sensitive after using psychadelics and so amny other things but thats another story. basically ur better off waiting but if u want to risk ur health and sanity in the pursuit of watever ur pursuing go for it just remember that is an adult decision being that ur responsible for urself and be prepared to face the consequences of ur so called "expanded" mind. just remember its the only brain u got and when ur fifty it will show all the scars we put on it.

 

Of course the 14 year old says this.

 

well its true ^

 

If it's not true, then it's true in 99.999% of cases. And honestly, I think that truth can be defined much less strictly than that, or else there simply is no truth (which is sort of true, but not really when it comes to things like this).

If you're on your deathbed, then it's fine. And I'm sure plenty of people could get away with it, and even benefit from it. But I really think it's more powerful than is "safe" for 99.999% of 14 year olds. I was extremely mature at 14, and I think I would have flipped my shit. Of course, plenty of 14 year olds won't flip their shit, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

 

Ive done acid many times and never flipped out, and I know lots of people younger then me that have taken acid and are fine, Ive never known anyone who got hurt because of acid.

 

I think teh point isn't people getting hurt but what teh point of people that young doing acid is.

As in why are you doign acid?

I know people who started smoking pot and doing acid very young and are still doing drugs with little or no break and have little or no knowledge of the world and teh things in it etc etc etc.

Life = drug experience

HAvign said that a lot of people (like me) have never thought that way but considered drugs an experience like any other. Question being, can you go out, to a party, bar, club, day out, travel without any form of drug?

EVeryone should be able to say yes to that question. withteh addition of "and enjoy it".

People who take drugs need to remember that there will be a part of you that you lose when you take a drug. A good example for me is Es. Goign to a club which plays sopem sort of trance/funky hosue etc. now is NEVER as much fun without a pill and hence i lose that part of me that was able to enjoy a night out in such a place witrhout any substance. I can go to other clubs and enjoy and dance but in certain clubs there's always this "oh I remember how fun this used to be" type thing.

If you're young you may not even realise that life is crazy fun and will blow yoru mind without ever taking any drug. And for those kids growing up in the USA I would SERIOUSLY suggest that TRAVELLING is far more a priority for them than taking drugs. Leave the continent people!

 

If you don't know anyone who's had a bad acid experience, then you must not have that much experience. Plus, it's pretty hard to be objective about yourself and your friends, especially at this point. If all of your acid-dropping 12 year-old friends are still fine when they are in their 20's, I will be shocked.

 

actually thats a really good point.

friends who seemed fine when they were in their teenage have fallen buy the wayside.

acid isn't for everyone.

 

By the way I'd like to reiterate that I'm sure to a 14 year-old who has dropped acid with no apparent ill effects, it seems quite logical to say that plenty of 14 year-olds can handle it... and I'm not saying that dropping would be a disaster for every 14 year-old. It just seems to me like a huge percent would wig out, a huge percent wouldn't get anything out of it, a huge percent could develop HPPD since the brain is so much more plastic at age 14... it just doesn't make any sense to me to dose at 14 unless you're on your deathbed. Acid helped me a lot, but it wouldn't have helped me at 14, and there are plenty of ways to expand your mind besides acid. Try reading some Kant instead
