Is it a really bad idea to try acid as your first drug?

You call that an answer? You think taking a drug is like a lightswitch and can just instantly change you life for the better? Better in what way? Do you even know?

Your blatantly ignoring the advice of the many kind, experienced people of this forum when you, after all came to us for help. This simple fact shows that you have alot of growing up to do, and that you must grow your mind before you indulge in any psychoactive substance.

Slow down, take it easy. You have your whole life to experience these things. But ultimatly the decision is yours, and by the sounds of it you haven't had much time at all to really think about making it. Its your mind, its your body, you have the freedom to do with them as you please.

 

I sort of have to agree with them ^

Not to sound harsh, but you ask questions and want answers, but then don't listen to the (experienced) people that give them to you. Why even ask if you aren't going to listen? It makes you come off as immature, and that kind of person shouldn't blindly walk into the world of drugs without knowing in the least bit what to expect. This isn't meant to bash you, but I think you have a bit of learning to do. Only looking out for you...

(And I know I'm young, probably shouldn't have started out as early as I did, and certainly have some growing up to do, but I think I'm very mature for my age and would never use psychedelic drugs until I truly felt comfortable with myself, and I'm not sure you do. I don't think you're in it for the right reasons.)

 

lol youre gonna have a fun time, but dont read too much into it. and its not like music really sounds different.... its just that you appreciate it WAY more, or you feel like its 3d all around you, or you feel like the band is right there playing the song only a few feet away from you. sometimes you FEEL the music instead of just hearing it. but dont expect to see shit, or hear shit that isnt there.... just expect a good, chill, time as you enter into what me and my friends call "noodle world", dont ask me why..... its a reallllly old inside joke.

 

Y'know "noodle world" really strikes a chord with me for some reason inside joke or not.

Also, I think it's hilarious (or possibly worrying) that Woodstock ignores 19 pages worth of advice from experienced trippers and stoners who at the end of the day are NOT the sort of people you expect to advise against doing drugs. People who actually take drugs have the best understanding of them, and if it's the right thing to do you can bet your ass they're going to be right there encouraging you to do it. Just look at all the other hundreds of threads on this forum, usually questions aren't even asked before a poster is advised to "yea go on just do it, drop a tab, maybe another one after an hour!"

Woodstock you're actually lucky so many people in this thread seem concerned for your wellbeing, even if it might seem that some are being a little overprotective, I just think people see something in you that reminds them of when they were 15, and believe me most people if they later in life had a choice to go back in life and NOT do drugs when they were 15, would take it.

There's a reason why most "adult indulgences" like sex, drugs, alcohol, and so forth, are for adults - you have to first be mature enough to make a mature decision about getting into any of them. While most clearly reach that age of maturity before 18, others don't, and VERY few 15 year olds do (and even the ones who think they have usually haven't)

 

thats very well said
i've seen alot of 17 year olds encouraging even younger kids to take even very deadly substances
there would be 200 posts saying how dangerouse it wa and how horrible the experience if you survive and then 2 idiots would say just do it..whats the worse that can happen..and whos advice would the younger kids take? yup..the wrong advice

when i was young ihad that just try it attitude.. and tried anything i could get my hands on.. and trust me i had some very scary experiences ..at least 3 i was lucky to survive.. thats not a road you want totravel...
lsd is powerful medicine and can be life changing when treatted with respect.. and the just doit..take whatever ya can get your hands on attitude is not showing it the respect it desserves.. and not respecting it will land you in trouble eventualy
save that for the gathering where there will be thousands of experienced trippers..and heallers and incredible possitive energy..and by then you'll be way more prepared for the experience

 

Is there any way that tell if you're ready to take LSD? I'm trying to prepare myself as much as I can, reading trip expereince's, making sure I know as much as I can before taking it, and i'm only 16.

 

depends where they eat it...I sold a gal a half hit, then after first period sold her the other half, she had never even been drunk before...well I got 5 years after she freaked out and SOMEBODY threw rat...luckily juvinile...served 45 days half house arrest......but in your setting, it should be ok. avoid public places familiar palces are the best thing

 

Stand, it's hard to say. It all depends on the type of person you are, and how much experience you have with other mind-altering substances.

In my opinion, there are 3 types of acid virgins. You've got those who are ridiculously over-cautious, really worried about bad trips, paranoid that they're gonna go insane, cutting tabs into fucking halves and quarters and lining up rows of sedatives "in case it all goes wrong", then you've got people who are willing to dive right in with no thought to the consequences, who think it's just another buzz like weed or MDMA.

The third (and right type) would be those who fully respect and appreciate acid for what it is, and *know* they're ready for it. Not because they're "hardcore" and can "handle anything", but because they understand exactly what they're getting into, and they're perfectly comfortable with that.

I'm not saying it's the end of the world if you take acid and don't fit the 3rd description (I know I didn't when I first took it), but it would be advisable to.

 

fuck a duck ... that's some serious shit right there. i remember first time i got high from weed how bad i wanted to prove to my right-wing christian parents that it wouldn't fuck me up, and i almost wrecked my dad's car and i was 19!

 

woodstock, you are lucky there are so many people that care about you, even those that may have never talked to you. i'm glad that you only got some weed in the end. get blazed and enjoy it. i didn't smoke my first time till i was 19. i've only tripped a few times, but i certainly wouldn't recommend it to someone only 15. don't listen to the idiots, but listen to people who seem to genuinely care about you, like soaring eagle. seems you two have talked a lot and he truly has your best interests at heart. and he's definitely not some square or DEA agent or anything, he's been there, done alot of that, and seems to really know what he's talking about; so why wouldn't you trust him if no one else? if you are just looking to get the answers you want to hear, then it's pointless even asking.

stay safe, ok.

 

I totally agree with Mellow. If you expect drugs to change you'r life, I pity you so much. Are you really so desperete to change you'r life as to take drugs to do so? You'r life is changing as it is, because you're going through puberty and all that shit. Don't look to drugs for a life-changing experience, because if you look for it, it will not happen. Life-changing expereince's are spontaneous things, not something you can plan by smoking abit of pot, or dropping some acid.

 

I'm just getting a plain two hits now, I was gunna go halves with one tab with my friend, so I had one and a half, but he only wants one now, so i have two.

 

Anyone w/ a history of even the slightest mental issues (woodstock this would be you), should not take lsd or shrooms, period.

 

bah unless you dont care about it

LSD made something come out in me thats in my family but it wasnt before like the 10th time...Im ok with it now


Well I know woodstock child shouldnt take what I said for herself...but I dont know when someone says people with mental issues blabla should neevr take it i find it a bit unfair

 

Unfair? Sounds like common sense to me. History of mental issues in the family doesn't mean you WILL get it, like, it's not guarenteed or anything, but acid can facilitate it.

 

its not unfair
you still have the choice to risk it
and you may end up just fine..or may not
its not a rule ..its a guidance..
ya can take it or not.. its your choice
but you have to be extra carefulin your decision

 

woodstock. it sounds through your posts that your really only wanting to smoke and drop some acid for music. doing acid to see what music sounds like is an extremely stupid idea. but if you do take some acid. listen to the Phantom Of the Opera soundtrack....that should be real good....

 

phantom of the opera huh? hmmm

i'm listenin to these 2 songs off http://rainbowtribe.net

and gettin nicely toasted and they sound amazin..lol
i cant imagine anything massed produced soundung 1/2as good as this stuff

 

hya hya

Have you seen the phantom of the opera live on Broadway???

 

Why? If I could still do acid it would be mainly for its effect on music.
