im new to acid and since it last so long im a bit worried contact with my parents or cops or something is inevitable... so im wondering is tripping on acid obviouse? if someone tries to talk to me will i sound all dilusional
If you can't figure out how to not have contact with your parents or law enforcement for 12 consecutive hours then you are not in a position to be taking lsd and yes it will be extremely obvious, depending on the dose. It's not a light buzz, it's a life changing, intense state of altered mind that involves your entire brain and body. You'll sound like you're extremely, extremely high on something, and look like it too. This is not like being high on pot or drunk. How old are you?
I KIND of have to disagree with writer. My first few trips were with parents around. If you are on a low dose you might just seem energetic. It's also very easy to act on a low dose (my friend took two and had to act in a highschool presentation of Grease near the end of his trip last year). You could probably act drunk if that is an option.
The physical effects LSD can cause are dialated pupils, facial flushing, body temperature changes causing sweating/shivers, teeth clenching, among some less obvious effects. Beyond that if it's your first time tripping you most likely will forget what you are talking about because of short attention span and being involved in the trip. Motor coordination is usually not significantly impacted the way it is on a heavy dose of alcohol. So you probably won't slur your words and stumble around, your eyes will be a give away but if no one suspects it and you aren't being interrogated you should be alright.
Simple answer no, especially because its your first date with lucile. Trust me...trying to act straight skulled out of your mind is no easy task. And the process of doing so is not fun, low dose or not. It affects everyone differently, find out first. Then jump in there balls deep with the right setting so you can enjoy it to the fullest!!
I can act very normal on low to medium doses. I can also function mostly normal, unless maybe I need to closely interact with someone.
i havent tripped in years, but i couldnt imagine doing it around authority figures.. I remember I had to run out of the gas station last time i was tripping.
I've been in crowds on it,driven on it,(ooo --that's fun!) and been so psychedelisized ,I had to smoke hash to mellow out. I'd go with Mr Writer's advice,iffen I were you first time out. It's serious business.
I'd like to see your friend even try and READ his presentation to himself on 2 shivas. I think it's very irresponsible to be telling someone new to LSD that it's ok to trip with parents around. Come on man. Sure, you got away with it with some weak doses, but you have to think that some people actually get quality stuff where being around parents is a complete non-option. Hell, being around most of their FRIENDS wouldn't be an option! I can -maybe- "act drunk" on half a shiva . . . 1, no way, massive pupils, giggling, visuals, 2 . . . . i just had a life changing trip on 2 hits a few weeks ago where i cried my eyes out for hours and got a new lease on life and from the direct effects of that trip I have since gotten a new job and am moving forward in a new direction in life. Stuff is no joke, it's definitely NOT like being drunk, and it is NOT ok to be around parents or authority figures or ideally even away from crowds and non-dosed friends! Are we talking about the same LSD here? :computer:
Perhaps not everyone is able to do what my friend and I have done. I am not recommending direct contact with parents for any period of time. To be fair, my friend acted in the play on his 6th trip or so, and I wouldn't say they were weak tabs the avatars. He was on about hour 8 when he started. Most times I end up tripping with parents home, headphones are involved and we are in a basement or other room. I have had to have a conversation with a friends father before, but it didnt turn out to bad. Just tell yourself you aren't high... and do it from 8pm to 8am while parents are asleep.
I walked in front of a cop car on 2 hits at a crosswalk on my first acid trip, definitely was a tense moment but I was with some friends who were just stoned thankfully. I would of lost my shit if they were all tripping like me, of course we probably wouldn't have gone to get snacks if they didn't have munchies but then again I wouldn't have been able to spend my first LSD experience with this view.
There's also the fact that it's a downer trying to deal with straight people, especially if one of them asks a complex question like, "Are you okay?" - with infinite permutations and meanings and the answers, good God, all the possible answers!!!
I agree that you should avoid putting yourself in these situations. You will likely persevere if you do find yourself in these situations.
but what about on your FIRST dose ever?! i can do it now...but not on my first LSD trip ever. i walked into town on that one, on like hour 6. the rest of the time i was laughing at the ceiling, laying on the stairs. recently i took 2 red star microdots (stronger than the shivas IMO) and walked past several cops (it was a festival going on), and even talked to one briefly. it was beyond confusing, i had little idea what we were even talking about. it worked out fine, but i wouldn't recommend it, ESPECIALLY for your 1st trip. wait for the best setting possible. i thought the question at first was "is it obvious to MYSELF if i'm tripping?" that's a definite YES! is it obvious to others? maybe, maybe not. but it'll probably bug you out, asking yourself that question once you're tripping.
Oh I was coming out this dead show, fucked outa my mind. walking down this closed ramp to a bridge under construction. 4 sheets in my pocket. motorcycle cop comes by and says you cant walk this way. I said ok... and he drove off..
you nut got caught smoking a joint once got halfway through joint before was surprised by 2 cops and after our interaction and them leaving (no repurcussions) I was laughing so much and just couldn't care less that they had caught me smoking . . . my good humor helped me out in that one for sure. but they thought I had thrown the j out when they turned and left; it was simply in my hand all along I finished the joint
Just to be on the safe side,. I crossed the bridge on foot. most the deck was missing but it was partly easy. I knew the cops couldn't follow me over unless they was on foot.. And they would have to be 100X more crazy than me..
You might be totally okay around authority figures, you might be fine in crowds, you might feel fine walking down the street, you might feel fine with any random selection of the previous options, from all to none. But to ASSUME that ANYTHING will be okay, until you're already peaking or close to it, is beyond stupid. Once you're peaking, consider just how badly things could go, and if you're still confident that they'll be fine, go do whatever it is. Just make sure you always have a way out. "tired, didn't get to sleep last two nights" is always an okay excuse for any behavior on anything, if you can try to yawn and look a bit squinty... then they'll just think you're on meth Just the anxiety from 10-75 minutes, waiting to really know what you're in for, and then starting to feel it more and more, and thinking "exactly how much more", will give you a fucking heart attack if you've got any possibility of having to see any authority figure who can't know you're tripping.
im not very worried about the initial intence trip because my parents will probably be asleep. its the after "white noise" stuff where you feel disconected will it be obviouse its still in my system or can i get away with "im just kinda tired"... its not like i dont have any where to drop acid i just wanted to know if id be ok at home
