Okay, here is the deal, We have a day off on friday. my dad is going to work and my sister is going out with friends all day. so heres my plan, SWIM (google it if your confused) want to wake up around 6 am and drop some acid. my dad will leave around 8:00 but wont bother me thinking that im asleep. He gets back around 5:00 or 6:00. My question is if i will be able to interact with him just a little bit to say that im not feeling well and going to take a nap/ go to bed in my room. opinions? will he notice? how big will my pupils be? tips on how to have a succesful trip? basically im trying to get a more personal opinion to compare to the rediculous amounts of scientific fact ive read online. also If you think that me tripping alone is a bad idea please weigh in, because i could get my friend who is an experienced shroomer to come over. I would perfer not to because I am madly in lover with her and i have a girlfriend (thts a differnt story) but if you belive i MUST i will. please no anti drug speeches. I have done weeks of research and have made the decision on what drugs i believe are reasonable for me to take, so Im doubting that your five minute response is going to change my mind. Im old enough to vote for your fututre, so i think im old enough to control mine. thanks so much guys
You do not want to take LSD on a schedule or in a hostile environment, where you are not free to come and go and speak or none of the previous, as you wish. Especially your first time. It sounds like you've got some baggage that will fall directly onto your testicles if you trip in the situation(s) you've presented, in a few ways.
Hey I think your dad is a member here, but don't worry, you used SWIM, nobody will ever figure that out. Plus your username says you don't do drugs. You're so clever. :rofl: :smilielol5: doesn't sound like you read "rediculous amounts of scientific fact", otherwise you would know the answers to a lot of your questions. Maybe they just used words that are too big for you too understand. WTF??? I love it when people ask for advice then say they are not going to accept it if it isn't what they want to hear.. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ASKING THEN??????????????? oh, what's a fututre? I don't think I want you voting for mine. p.s. invest in a spell checker
NG is a little bit of a douche but mostly correct. SET and SETTING is the name of the game. Your mindset will not be open, expansive, and receptive when you are worried about the timing of your dad's return from work. Your first acid experience can be one of the best things in your life. Do not ruin it with piss-poor planning. Wait until you have a time and place that is far from people you know or wouldn't want to talk to, relatively secure and private, and when you have no obligations for at least a day. If you want to do something like that, do it right.
Ahhh another one.. yeah, you get the picture dude.. hopefully Just cos you CAN take it doesn't mean you SHOULD, why limit the infinite? especially on your first
Maybe it's stuff like that that gets Nox to respond the way he did... But that really cuts to the chase there. :2thumbsup: Sounds to me like your mind is made up so I'd say go for it. It'll either be great or you'll learn a lesson. Also, it's not necessary for SWIY to post the same thing in multiple places.
You say you read scientific...... anything? Over a course of WEEKS? Duration is one of the very first aspects of a drug that you will usually learn. You could probably even learn the duration of LSD on the DEA website. But AGAIN, if you've done it before and have SOME idea what you're in for, it would be different -- but especially your first time, you do not want to have an obligation "after" tripping. No one can give you a precise time, and it could last many hours longer than a reasonable "maximum" time, and then there's the mental after-effects..... Next thread from this guy will be one of these: My dad went away for a whole twenty minutes, so I dropped a ten strip for my first time, and raped my hampster while sodomizing myself with a broken flourescent lightbulb, and my dad took me to the hospital and they shot me up with valium, because they TOTALLY don't know how to handle tripping people, maaaaan, why couldn't they have been chill, now I twitch and scream "ballsack" every time I try to talk......
Soooo...it's sunday....what happened, did you take the plunge.... never did plan out a trip in that much detail. We treated acid like booze or smoke. We once all dropped acid then attended a church sponsored drug awareness program with our parents. That was a trip. Best learning-don't trip and drive
I had my first trip recently. Please, believe me when I say: tripping by yourself is not a good idea. I really have to insist that you trip with someone who's experienced in this field. If you don't have that, find someone to play Mother of the Tribe. That's a person who doesn't trip, but stays around to take care of everyone who is tripping, just do whatever they can to keep everyone happy and safe. As far as your experience goes, do not trip in a place that has any possibility of requiring you to function normally or think as you normally would, you will not be able to do so and this could prove to be the beginning of an unpleasant trip. Tripping at home when your family could possibly come home at any point and time is an awful idea. I advise rethinking the whole thing.
Ya know I agree with most of this, but I personally don't get it. Most psychedelics are fairly manageable, especially LSD or Mescaline even in large doses. My first experience was with about 450ugs-500ugs of LSD when I was 16. Took it alone and spent the majority of the time alone or just going about my day. A friend did come over for a bit, but not as a sitter or anything, just to smoke some hash. It was a phenomenal trip for sure, textbook trip progression and features complete with world melting ego-dissolution. But I never once came even close to losing my shit or being in need of a sitter. I think a very large part of it was that I possessed virtually no negative ideas or fears related to taking LSD. I just took it like a puppy eating a treat, no fears, no apprehensions. Those didn't settle in until later, I can thank mushrooms for adding psychedelic apprehension to the equation. Now in a directed clinical setting or a setting in which the psychedelic experience is goal oriented and it is expected to churn shit up, then by all means an emotional support system/person is a vital part of the set. So I guess in summation I am kinda on the fence. On the one hand I say lots of prep, sitter, no phones, bla, bla. But a lot can be said for diving in and just popping your cherry, if you go at it with a positive intent at least.
If you saw his other post about his first trip, he commented that he has anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Situations such as that I feel contribute to bad experiences, coupled with lack of understanding or at least some general practices like you and I have. You were and are the kind of person that is cut out for the experience and probably don't require as much focus on set and setting to still have a smooth ride. Someone like Nov might want to put way more into that, and learn what he can about tripping skills.
Lot of ppl saying dont trip. I say trip. Bring the girl over. Lifes short, you young- have fun while you can still enjoy it. Stop bein a pussy dude its just acid
If you have someone who knows what's going to happen, and doesn't ask dumb questions about talking to their parents, and is relaxed, I see no big deal with just dropping it -- a lot of bad effects, when not derived from some shit that actually does churn up, are caused by conscious and subconscious fears about the drug, legally effect-wise. But it's hard to be that relaxed, even when you know what's up, in an urban setting, or around authority figures, who even MIGHT appear. It stems, almost entirely, from lies and legality, but it's the sad truth for most of us.
