Just bought some acid and have some questions about it..

Hi guys,

I just bought some acid, had to unfortunately go to a shady (yet friendly) London street dealer to get some instead of getting hooked up through someone I knew. He gave me three of these small pieces of paper for 30 pounds.

He said they have been dipped but because the guy didn’t deal the acid himself (he got it from someone he knew) I couldn’t get too much information out of him because he didn’t know too much about the stuff.

The three small pieces of paper are just plain white pieces small ripped with no abrasions on them or anything written on them at all.

Anyway, because this is my first time ever to have the possession of such a drug I thought I’d come on here and see if I could gain get some questions answered from the power of the old global village.

If anyone could shed some light on the following it would be greatly appreciated:

First of all, do you think its acid? Is this plain white piece of paper the norm with acid dealing or is it possible I have just paid 30 quid for nothing but paper? I was expecting for some smiley faces or something on it.

Second of all, (and I know this cannot be answered for certain but I would just like your educated opinions) how many micrograms would you assume would be in one hit? The hits are quite small (about the size of a finger print), and they where ten pounds each, so if anyone could take some wild guesses about how much that would contain I’m up for some speculation.

Next, it is after all, my first acid trip, so any and all recommendations of how, when, where to do it, how many micrograms I should start off with for a strong first trip, would be great. I have been thinking about doing it with my friend as a spotter with some joints handy in the privacy of my own home during the day but I’m up for suggestions!

Finally, what would you suggest I do with these three hits, my guess is it’s probably safer to take one at a time and see how I feel, or just take one hit, see how it effects me the entire night and then decide how I want to take the other two at a later time.

Anyway, sorry if this seems longwinded and a tad naive but I just wanted to do the sensible thing and get as much info as possible before getting tucked in to a great experience.

Thanking you in advanced!

 

The problem with acid is there's no easy way to tell if it's really acid or not except to do it, don't let plain white paper disappoint you, the best acid I ever got was just plain white blotter.

I couldn't tell you, acid potency varies greatly, generally these days it's anywhere between 50-100micograms in general.

I'd say take 2 hits, then take the last hit maybe 2 hours into it. 2 hits really is nothing, most people won't even trip off of 1 hit really. Once you do it you'll see acid really isn't that big a deal. Or just take all 3 at once.

As for what to do, meh, whatever floats your boat. I'd say despite what people say, don't do it outside, well at least the whole trip outside, honestly nature gets boring after 7 hours. Music is where it's at. Really anything though is fun, even playing chess is fun, difficult, but fun

Damn though, with the exchange rate that'd be like $45-50 for 3 hits of acid

 

that sounds about normal. most acid comes on blotter paper. i've gotten blank white blotters before that were amazing. but the only way to find out for sure is to try some.

doing it in the safety of your own home sounds like a great idea. having a friend watch over you is also a good idea, and especially because it is your first time a trip sitter might make you feel much safer. although i am not much for tripping alone, so i would probably have a friend take some with me. but i am sure that you would be alright alone if you want to make your blotters last or something. but you are definitely going to want to have some company. just like when you are sober you are going to need to have something to do. acid does not 'entertain'.

basically you want to have atleast 12 hours of freedom to yourself in which you can trip. you really do not want any obligations whatsoever during this peroid.
it is also a good idea to take it during the day. don't expect to sleep until after 12 hours have passed from the time that you ate the acid. i have stayed up all night tripping before. it was a much bigger deal the first time. now i am used to it though.

it might also be a good idea to have a day or two to rest after the actual experience. after an intense acid trip the last thing you want to do is get straight back into your life right afterwards. you are going to want time to rest.

i would also recomend having a few beers on hand. sipping down some alcohol when you start feeling anxious or nervous can really help and start your trip off into a positive direction. joints will make the trip cloudy and more intense. overall i would say that it takes away from the experience. i would recomend just smoking before the trip, and then afterwards when you feel like you have 'come down' a significant amount. but if you smoke cigarrettes you are definitely going to want to have some of those handy!

you should probably just take 1, since it is your first time. the last thing you want to do is take too much and have an overly intensive experience and be scared off from psychedelics. they are truly a gift. just don't expect too much from the drug. one hit isn't a massive amount, but i think it is a good starting point. or splitting the three between you and a friend might also work 1 1/2 each.

then next time you can take your other two and tackle the beast head on. or even buy more. just make sure you wait a few weeks if not a few months between trips. good luck and much love!

 

Take all 3 at once...thats what i'd do

 

Wow you guys are fast! Thanks for the reply guys, definitely loving your positve advice!

Thanks again, and I welcome any other peoples insights...

 

I second that. Nothing to fear but fear itself. Enjoy!

 

If there is nothing to fear then why fear fear, that would make nothing feel useless.

 

Because once you conquer your fears you realize there really was nothing to be afraid of, hence the only thing to fear really is fear itself.

But that's just in a metaphorical way, you should also fear HIV, school shooters, drunk drivers, ect.

 

I apologize for getting off topic.

 

Thanks for the advice guys, me and my friends had just tried a tab each last night.

We felt a slight altered state but definitely weren't tripping, no hallucinations at all.

I'm guessing either the acid was weak or it was because we all only did one hit each.

Do you think it's wise to go to the same dealer and getting three hits each this time? It could be a lot easier to just go to the same dealer but get more this time since I've got his number and everything it would be easier than tracking down another guy.

If a standard hit is 50-100 and we all did one each and only felt a slight altered state then how many of these hits would you reccommend to have a strong psychedelic trip?

Thanks again!

 

well, since you will probably be getting the same stuff it might be a good idea to get it from the same guy. but if you can find a different source then i would say definitely go for it. atleast now you have somewhat of an idea of what you are getting into. next time you should have a complete 'balls to the wall' experience.

i guess since it sounds like what you are getting is weak it might be a good idea to take 5 or ten if it is from the same guy. hehe. sounds a little pricey at that rate though. if it's from a different person try 2 or 3 to start off with.

wait atleast a week or two to trip again though, or a month if you are patient. spacing out your trips becomes less of an issue when you have a weak experience. but it is still a good idea to have a little bit of time. don't give up though because you had a weak experience. lsd is truly a divine gift!

i understand what you guys are saying about not fearing fear, but that is alot easier said than done. alot of the time nothing can help you overcome that issue better than a low dose acid trip and getting familiar with the drug.

 

i'd say if its at all possible try another dude

and agree that if yuo go from the same guy...eat 10 no...no...well yes perhaps...but no try someone new...if its possible. i know its been harder to find than normal but things have been changing over the past few weeks

 

i think you had a placebo effect when you did trip and you got ripped off

OR

It was real weak acid you should not pay 10 pounds for [that's what like 12-15 USD?]

 

Ended up going to the same dealer again for more dissapointment.

Had 6.5 hits of these white paper blotters with little but a tiny alternate state.

The absolute worst was the waiting for the trip to reveal itself as a let down. Sitting around looking at the room and trying to trick your self into tripping is very unsatisfying.

Wish I knew where to get some of the real full blown stuff. If anyone knows areas that are good in London to pick up some stuff I'm very much open for suggestions. And I will say do NOT go to Shepherds Bush for any (which leaves very little reason to visit shepherds bush in the end).

Thanks for all the posts though guys, was very helpful!

 

LMAO!! This is SO true.... HAHA I feel you brother.

 

don't take acid and wait for the trip. it's a not a show you go to, like cannabis or alcohol. You are the show. Live! Do things! Give acid inputs if you want to see acid's outputs!

you won't get what you're looking for if you're doing the same thing as always, whether or not you swallowed a piece of paper with chemical X on it.

 

I remember once you said to forget you took it.

Those are pearls, man. :cheers2:

 

I don't fear pain, I simply have an aversion to it!

 

Interesting theory Mr. Writer, I definitely agree with the whole 'forget you took it' philosophy. Works well with all drugs I find.

But it wasn't like we where just sitting and waiting (although in the backs of our minds we all were) but we did have music playing, and we where talking and dancing around and sipping beers and smoking weed. So there was stuff going on.

But I thought that would be the best scenario for acid (at least for a first timer) to just chill out with friends? Not to say I dont ever want to take it and go and on adventure.

I'd hate to think that there is a possibility of 'scaring the trip away' through waiting too much.

Also, doesn't Terrance McKenna advocate solo trips with psychedlics (although he mainly talks about shrooms but he does mention acid)

Surely thats along the same path as just looking around and waiting for the effects?

But yeah, I do agree with you; waiting for it sucks balls. No argument there. But I just dont think if I forgot I took it or went and did something I would have tripped, I'm more towards the inkling that I got ripped of hardcore (which pushes the blame on to the dealer rather than on me).

Reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg joke where he drank Absinthe and wanted to hallucinate but nothing was happening, he was just really drunk, but he was trying to 'force the trip'

"why is the floor so far away?"

Man I want some fucking acid. It sucks that it's a niche drug, I get offered charlie on my way to work but a drug that has long lasting positive effects is one of the hardest to get a hold of!

Mother fucker

 

cool mang ya hurd
