Ok so I have had one trip in my life, and it was the most horrible thing I've ever experienced. Here is an account of that night. http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?t=435373 Every one I know has dropped acid, and I just feel like it's only a matter of time before I do. I just hate how I can't relate to conversations where people talk about these kinds of things. I just feel like it's something you have to experience, but at the same time don't know if I'm ready for it. I just don't know how to gauge its intensity. If you read the link I posted, you'll see how much my last trip affected me, and I was by no means prepared for that. To be honest, at first I thought tripping just meant you see a couple swirls here and there some colors, and that's about it. I had no fucking clue it could be that intense. I thought I would never recover from it, but eventually did, slowly. It's still left it's mental scar on me though. I just don't think I'm ready for acid, or even qualified for it. I have too many bad thoughts on my mind, and just don't know how I could keep positive the whole time. Eventually I'm going to think of a bad thought, and then that will just cascade into a bad trip. The possibility of this terrifies me. I want to take it with good people though. The people I live with who I'd probably take it with just give me bad vibes at times. Like when I was tripping with them last time, (I was the only one who was actually tripping and not just high cause I guess I have a super low edible tolerance), they were just trying to mess with me, and crack jokes, and they would have tons of people come in the room, and just hearing them going duddee he's having a bad trip! and just them explaining that to everyone who came in was just the most uncomfortable feeling ever. It was the epitome of bad vibes. It was scary. It was like being at a scary party, only while having a bad trip. I don't want to do acid with people like that! I want it to be with nice people who would actually stay by my side and not try to make a laughing stock out of me, or try to ask me dumb questions just to fuck with. I just don't get it though. I've talked to many people who have taken acid, and none of them say they've ever experienced anything as intense as I did. It basically just takes people away. How do I even explain that to people?? That I tripped off of just some weed cake?? How can you try to explain you had an intense trip off of weed, when they have actually experienced acid? Is it possible my trip was more intense than an acid trip? What I don't get is how kids I meet can take acid as such a light subject, like yeahh I'm on some aciddd now... How can you even function?! When I was tripping I couldn't even comprehend how to breathe! I just can't imagine tripping again, but the curiosity is killing me. Overall though, I just don't think I'm ready for it. Maybe another time in life.
Weed can actually be a very powerful psychedelic. A low dose of acid wouldn't be that strong. However, I don't think you should try if if your afraid to do it. Nervous is another thing and that's normal, but starting a trip in fear of it is just asking for a bad trip
Alot of Acid these days is dosed at a fairly moderate level, so like 1-2 hits of a common hit of today's acid will leave most people with a grasp on reality and fairly functional. I remember reading that post of yours, acid can probably reach that level of intensity at high doses but that is a really strong trip you had there with edibles.
Your last couple of sentences are some indication that you've made a decision and may just be looking to justify it. The decision is yours -- no justification is needed. When you're ready (if ever) you'll know. SuperPsychMe is right about the fear factor.
all you ever have to do is believe that you ARE titanium. shit may shoot you down, but you won't fall. YOU ARE TITANIUM
yeah it definitely was intense... thanks for the input guys. I won't force myself into it. I just don't know what to call my experience, since it wasn't from taking psychedelic drugs. Can I even call what I had a psychedelic trip?
yeah weed gets trippy when you eat it. kind of fucks with ya more than psychs, cause you aren't expecting it really. i watched my buddy as he started freeaaaking out. i was waking up in the living room from a hash brownie/hash smoking coma and he had eaten a bit of brownie. he comes walking into the room holding his head with both hands and the funniest look on his face going "i'm freaking out man!! i'm freaking ouuutt maaaan!!!" i had to keep myself from laughing too hard and told him to just chill out and drink some water. looking back on it, those brownies i made were fucking killer. like .25 grams of hash in each portion of brownie. ended up being waaaayyy too strong. one portion could be cut in fourths and still get you baked
Simple, do not do ANYTHING you are not completely comfortable doing. Real friends would be more concerned with your comfort, and your well being than anything else. Period.
You can get fucked up on weed, I think a really large weed high can go more out of control than acid, unless of course you have a bad trip. But on acid, everything flows more, you literally have a sense of vibes. A very literal sense of vibes. You don't sound ready, but if you do end up doing it. Two things1 be chill, you can pretty much choose if you have a good time, you will have control over what you do, so don't listen to all of those stupid propaganda myths 2 do it with friends who either care about you more, or are on it as well Don't be afraid of getting high again though, the great thing about mj is you can't overdose, and you technically can't overdose on acid, but you can take more than you wanted.
I'm a big adocate of LSD. It has a lot of really great effects and of you do it in the right setting its easy to prevent a bad trip. I would say that you should do it at some point in your life, I really think everyone should experience it. The only thing is that you need to be with people who love you and care about you who will do anything they can to make you feel better if anything goes wrong. That and you need to be in a place where you dont have to worry about anything. You dont want to be somewhere where there are a lot of people, especially people who you dont know. You should find 2 or 3 close friends who have experience with hallucinogenics. These should be kind compassionate people. If you spend your trip with this type of person they'll be able to console you and keep you on a good track. You should be honest with them about the fact that your nervous but that you want to have the experience. Also you have to know beyond any measure of a doubt that you're taking a mostly harmless drug and that anything that goes wrong with the trip is only a result of that and it will end. If you know that then you should be able to ground yourself in reality if it becomes too crazy. You should start with one or two decent potency hits, this should be a small enough dose that you won't lose touch with reality and you'll be able to appreciate the trip. It really can be an amazing experience and if you just let go of any fear you might have you wont have any problem.
Yeah man, my friend and I stuck a 1/2 ounce of some top weed in some brownies and munched it... Holy fuck... I can understand your fear, but I wasn't expecting a trip like that from weed, at that time I didn't even think it was possible to get that stoned - I suspect you weren't expecting it either. If all else fails, munch 1/2 a tab and if you're feeling good munch the rest or more. You can't un-take anything, so if you're feeling iffy but still very curious, that's the way I'd approach the situation. It won't leave you feeling "fucked" and you'll still have a grasp on reality but you'll be getting a taste of what acid is. Really can't stress enough how much a proper set and setting is though. Even if you feel comfortable with dropping, having annoying fucks around will really screw it up for you.
Do whatever makes you feel good and comfortable. If that includes acid, then do it...but if that doesnt include acid..that is ok.
Imgonna have to disagree with meaty mushrooms just a bit. A low dose of acid can be worse than a high dose. You may as well go all in with 2 or 3 your first time to get a full on experience. It really isn't as bad as a large marijuana high, the high on acid feels very clean and controlled. While a high on mj can feel very "foggy" if you know what i mean. On acid Though while you're on it this will make more sense - there are like waves that come in on it that you have to ride fairly hard every once in awhile but it isn't terrible. Music will be your best friend, so find or make a playlist to play. Personally I love to choose songs on impulse on it,though sometimes I forget what I wanted to play haha. You will get lost intime and in spirals. I'd suggest the good old 60s music, but anything you like sober you will like on a trip. Beatles are fucking genius! I've loved them my while life, but they make more sense after an LSD experience. Even their weirder stuff isn't random, they had a lot of meaning behind every lyric. You'll find that lyrics will quite literally speak to you, so try to keep things positive of you fear going into a dark place. I sometimes love dark themes, so I'll even out on the cure well on the trip which I wouldn't advice to most people, but if you like dark themes, don't be afraid to explore this mental realm, it really is quite incredible.
Yeah man, but that makes it have meaning. Like I am the walrus is a great exampleWhat the hell did sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come mean? It makes sense on acid though, and I think they had some idea of what they were talking about, it isn't just random words. To me that lyric means sitting on an idea, waiting for the ride to take you away. Referring to the trip. They really are great minds though, it would have been a blast living in those guys shoes! Strawberry fields feels like it is a lesson from a trip. Living is easy with eyes closed. Misunderstanding all you see. It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me. Fucking genius! Love those guys. If you really want to go out of your mind, watch across the universe while tripping. I couldn't finish it. But the benefit for mr kite scene and I am the walrus scene is a ride!! You will go insane and be happy it really gives you a feel for the 60s IMO hell the whole thing is a ride, but those scenes really take you away
my honest viewpoint? it sounds like you have some shitty friends. maybe just be sober and ask them to stop fucking with you and laughing at you all the time. i wouldn't trip until i got my personal life stuff worked out, and i definitely wouldn't kick around with people that put me down all the time
Well although you have probably already made up your mind, my input is not here yet I've done acid a few time with each trip i took getting more and more intense. i've never gone over 4 tabs before though. every trip i have left, i have left very happy and more insighted, and to many of my friends who i have tripped with I am very insightful (apparently). To me, marijuana is something i rarely do now. a few years ago i would use it everyday with my friends and we would have a blast. but the ingenuity of it is gone for me. all my friends have moved away anyway so i see no use beside letting me relax when i am seriously hurt. thing about weed for me at least is that it can be anything. a happy drug, to a sad drug, to a scary drug, etc. and the main difference with LSD is that it will be whatever you want it to be, if you give it respect. Although this logic sounds crazy i personally feel like it is true to most any drug. If you know your ready (and trust me you will) then it will open your mind to the depths of what you have to offer. Its your choice. my opinion
I suppose it could be, but I think there's a higher chance of having a bad experience with higher doses on your first time. If he/she's feeling sceptical about the experience to begin with you may as well start off slow, and work yourself up to a larger dose if everything's going well. Have more at hand. I know the first time I dropped I was loving where I was at on "100ug", but annoyed because I assumed I'd be "further out there", so I went and bought some more. Even though it was technically a "waste" of some lucy due to the tolerance build up, I don't consider it a wasted trip because it was still a fucking awesome experience.
