First time tripping, LSD or shrooms?

Which would you recommend for my first time? The guy I'm buying them from suggested easing myself in with shrooms, eating more as needed. My other friend says he doesn't like the chaotic feeling tripping on shrooms has, and prefers the more clear-headed high on acid.

What do you think?

 

With comparable doses, I'd say LSD is better for a first trip, since the experience is more manageable. However, since doses of LSD are basically impossible to measure, I would suggest about 2-3g of shrooms.

 

I totally agree with this.

Shrooms don't work that way. So I wouldn't even buy them from that guy. The tolerance build up will ruin it for you.

You need to wait a full hour easy to know if its enough, more like 2 hours to know what the peak is going to be like. By then, eating more will only make the stimulation go on for longer, which is NOT be fun. Trying to trip and ending up not being able to sleep with disapointment is always lame as fuck.

I ate three eighths this way, first dose was ok visually, but not enough. So like an hour and a half into it I ate like a half eight, waited 30 and nothing. So I ate an eighth and nothing happened again. I was more high, but no more visuals. Kinda hard to explain. Then I are another eighth (3 hours after first injestion time) and nothing happened again. I just stayed up for 13 hours after that.

BTW, the shrooms were def good. My wife was tripping nuts and couldn't walk off of an eighth (she is super sensitive to most drugs though).

 

I tried shrooms for my first time trippin it Amazing and horrible at the same time I havent tried acid yet although I think it is prolly better or so I have heard from EVERYONE, I was at a bar and thats the worst place to trip personally, I was tryin to get away from people and pretty much tryin to crawl in the corners ...just make sure you are either in the woods or someplace very chill, and I dont really think it would matter which you tried first as long as the vibe is good !

 

Heavenly Bohemian knows, Set and Setting are key. Don't believe me? Check out my DPT vs Iraq thread...

 

hahahahaha Set and Setting is very important, but DPT vs Iraq is a very extreme example.

 

Shrooms it is, then. I'll buy an eighth next time my parents are away for the weekend or something. That takes care of setting, but set is what I'm worried about. I have a feeling I'll be anxious/nervous about it. I want to do it but however much I want to, there will always be the fear of a bad experience in the back of my mind.
Is going in being nervous a bad idea?

 

i've never done acid and i love shrooms so i'm a bit biased here, but i would definitely recommend shrooms. They have such an organic feel to them, they always make me feel incredibly in touch with nature...i dont know if acid produces this same feeling since its not organic. Also i've never had a bad trip with shrooms. I started to have a bad trip one time because i wasn't in the right frame of mind when i tripped, but I just started telling myself that I could trust the shrooms completely, and that calmed me down. I dont think i would have the same trust of a synthetic substance.

Nervousness is natural when you do any drug for the first time, but with hallucinogens you definitely want to be in a mellow, relaxed state of mind going into it. Just tell yourself to trust the shrooms it worked for me! Also, its a good idea to either trip with someone thats done it before so they can calm you down if you start to freak out, or have someone there that isn't tripping to babysit you and walk you through any tough spots. I wouldn't recommend tripping alone for the first time. And pick out music that has positive associations; music has a way of crawling right inside of you when you trip, so if you're listening to something that mellows you out when you're sober, chances are its going to take away from the nervousness when you're tripping.

 

i recently introduced two people to the world of tripping with one relatively potent hit of LSD each. they loved it and had no problems.

 

Sounds like a plan! Like someone else mentioned you may want someone to watch over you first time, like at the very least if its someone you trust you can trip in your room and let them chill in like a living room with video games, computer, movies or television or something. Maybe they can even take you outside some place nature-y.

Its normal to be anxious and nervous. I get slight anxiety almost everytime I do a psychedelic, like someone else mentioned with shrooms they are natural though and no one has ever died from the shrooms themselves. Shrooms are nice because before you trip there is a relaxing giggly quality.

 

One of my two friends who have broken through on salvia multiple times will tripsit me, that's not a problem. I wouldn't think of trying it alone. I figured I would do something like you suggested and just let them set up some videogames and stuff in my living room while I'm (hopefully) enjoying myself.

Now the trick is finding a good time to to do it.

 

Yah take your time too with it. I bet youre somewhat excited to do it, especially when you get them but like if you get them during a stressful week and are kind of tired, just wait for like the following week or something or whenever you are calm, relaxed and ready.

At worse if you are stressed out and in a bad mood you can have a bad trip and terrible time, but even if you dont have a 'bad trip' you'll miss out on alot of the nuances and probably will not appreciate the beautiful experience mushrooms give as much as compared to taking them with a positive mood and open mind.

 

Tripping in public can be blissful and freeing. Going out alone to dance on shrooms is ...!

But the advice given is good. Go with another perhaps, find nature! You've had all the cautionary advice about dosage, so I say--the more the merrier!

 

Yea, I'm definitely going to wait until I have a safe environment and I'm not feeling down or anything. Nature does indeed sound like a good environment to trip in, Dejavu. I may go camping when I get them.

I'm thinking I might start with 1.5g. 2-3g sounds great but I worry that might be too intense. I'm looking for the high feeling and some nice OEV's, but I've never hallucinated before so I don't know how much I can handle my first time. I hope I don't take too little and end up being disappointed though, because it might be a while before I get a chance to trip again.

 

you will not likely be scared of the visuals. they will not be hallucinations - meaning you won't see anything that is not there. you will just see things warping and "breathing," maybe growing, etc.
i would go with at least 1.7g, might as well do 2 g

 

Take the whole 1/8th. There will be no room for regret or disappointment if you do that. You will understand what the psychedelic experience is all about too. I've never been a fan of working your way into psychedelics really. If you are looking for hallucinations, closed eye visuals, profound realizations, radical perception and all that take the whole 3.5.

 

Indeed. Just dive in, head first. There is no other way to take on the psychedelic experience, imo. Go for gold, hombre

 

I agree fully with this..I would try to either go camping or be near the woods or deff out side or a place you are very comfortable !!! with all the info here you should be fine ENJOY!

 

BTW, acid or shrooms especially will make you laugh a lot. Don't worry about a bad trip, first time I did shrooms I was laughing more than any other time in my life! Full 8th though! Don't skimp on the fun. You don't usually have to worry about way to intense of a trip till like 2 8ths, depending. 8th is what your looking for.

 

If you can get acid there's essentially no reason to ever take shrooms.
