So i tripped LSD for the first time last night, didn't have anything really intense, but I was definitely having a light trip - a fun trip. But I just kept getting really agitated at my friend who kept telling me he wasn't feeling anything at all and how he just wanted to get fucked up. Totally ruined my vibe. I took 2/3 of a tab and had a nice body high and minor visuals, great thought patterns, and enhanced appreciation of music - CEV were present but not extremely vivid, though entertaining. OEV were minor, flat surfaced breathing, shadows and light were doing interesting things. Beyond that, this morning and today I have just been increasingly agitated and annoyed. I had to drive the kid home (3hr drive) that was ruining it for me, and he didn't offer to help pay for gas and didn't give me money for the tab after I had told him how much it would be and after he had convinced me to give him more I come home to find that my roommate had eaten most of my food, go to the store and I end up paying for food for him... I dunno, I just feel like perhaps things are coming to a point with some people in my life and I am about to break. I don't know if it is the situation I am in and the acid brought it to surface or if I would have felt the same way anyways - but I just can't shake this negativity after having a trip that I was hoping to bring me some insight. Maybe the insight is that I truly am unhappy about my living conditions and that I need to change some things. I think a lot of my concern is related to money - obviously. I don't know if I should let this bother me or not, but I can't keep it from getting to me when I have hardly any money to feed myself.
My first experience i took 2 tabs and I don't think theres any possible way that i could've been agitated. It was just an overall good feeling. Even with all of the shitty stuff that happened I would've been like "fuck it, that was awesome" maybe you just needed a higher dose.
Sounds kind of shitty, LSD is not a great way to escape from problems but pretty shady of that guy you tripped with who wouldn't pay for his tab or offer gas money.
I wasn't trying to escape any problem of mine - not at all...I just was completely annoyed by this kid that wouldn't shut up about how he wasn't fucked up yet blah blah blah, and then didn't even appreciate what was going on. And on top of it didn't pay for anything. I just think I would have enjoyed myself immensely more if I had known what this dude was gonna be like
I was only thinking about how I wanted the kid to chill out a bit when I was tripping, and I even told him to calm his shit. I was also asking him if he for real didn't feel anything and that he should just relax so that he COULD. Maybe he feels like he doesn't need to pay for anything because he didn't have some earth shattering experience or something. Oh well...I'm not going to get too caught up in it. Instead, just move on. I learned from my mistakes to choose much more carefully who to surround myself with while taking such powerful chemicals.
acid can definitely have those happy/unhappy realizations, they're set off by something. i had a trip similar to this a while ago where the insight i got was that i was unhappy with a lot of things in my life. it mainly had to do with friends, but the money issue was also a big factor. but looking back on the trip, it was a worthwhile memory for sure. you'll find what this trip brought you as a good thing in a way. and 2/3 of a tab is not much. how much did ur friend have?
He didn't sound like much of a friend. "Set and Setting" prolly had a lot to do with it!!!! 2/3 of a tab is not much at all. Sorry you got jipped man. Don't ever deal with that kid again especially with something as precious as Lucy. My first time I was in class (art) specifically. One paper tab tripped my ass off kept to myself and didn't give a FUCK! I am also too nice, I hate when my niceness bites me in the ass OUCH!
yeah i purposefully dosed lower because it was halloween and i knew people would be out and shit. he was on the same amount, but just acting absurd. neither me or my other tripping friend were running around screaming and shit, we were just chilling. oh well. there really is no use dwelling on it or the money aspect. i don't think i gained a whole lot from this trip other than the fact that some people are completely different, and i mean COMPLETELY, different when on such a strong substance - no matter how small of a dose it may be. i'll take what i've learned and dose stronger next time and hopefully get out what i was seeking for in the first place.
Not the best initial LSD experience, but i think you got it right in terms of your insights and interpretations. Obviously, the company could have been a lot better. i think this is simply a set and setting issue. Part of setting includes who you choose to trip with . . . i hope this will not sour you to the potential of LSD and it's use as an entheogen and potential tool for personal insight. LSD is like that scene in Empire Strikes Back when Yoda is training Luke and sends him into the tree. Luke asks what's in there and Yoda replies, "Only what you take with you . . . " Whenever i watch that movie, at that very point, every single time, i pretty much think to myself If i was Luke, i would drop EVERYTHING and consider stripping naked before entering the tree . . . .
I hope next time you have a dose, set, and setting conducive to seeing the unspeakable LSD is the molecule that I plan the most for when I decide to take it. You really need to set yourself up for the day in terms of where you're gonna be, what you're gonna do, who you're gonna be with . . . imo. Think of it like you're going out on the most important date of your life.
Yeah man, I was comfortable with my mindset, where I was going to be physically and who I was with (at first), but this dude just was totally different - or maybe I perceived him to be different on the drug. When he kept referring to wanting more so that he could be 'fucked up' I just was bugged hardcore. My other friend is saying he wants a full on acid experience now, which is pretty awesome. I knew that he would enjoy psychedelics, and I'm happy that he enjoyed the minor trip. Maybe my next dose will be one tab with him, as we both seem to be on the same page about a lot of things and have had some great conversation and experiences with other substances.
Purrp--- next time eat those doses solo.. i think it will give you the experience you're looking for.
