Alright heres my situation. I've been doing alot of reading about LSD andit sounds like an amazing experience and I think I want to do it with a friend of mine who has never done it either. However, I've never done any other drugs at all. With that being said, is it a bad idea for me to trip? I'm aware of the possibility of bad trips and think I would be able to prevent one.
smoking is awesome...but LSD was my first psychedelic experience, I made sure I was prepared, in a safe place, and knew exactly what I was doing the whole night (which wasnt much lol)...and it was the most amazing experience ever...if ur smart about it and safe, and are ready to embrace any bad trips....GO FOR IT!!! sometimes the bad trips are the most beneficial...i recommend not doing it just to get fucked up, but more to learn something about urself, and just have some kind of goal for the experience...remember, its just a drug...dont forget that...lol GOOD LUCK n HAVE FUN!
Also, will I be able to confine myself to one room or will I find myself drifting to other parts of my house? Will I make a lot of noise or stay relatively quiet? S Should I have something to watch or keep myself entertained with or can I just chill in a chair and play some music? And how much should I take?
Try marijuana first trust me weed is not like what you think it is, you probably get the impression that it just dumbs you out and makes you giddy and stupid In a way that is true lol, BUT it can be very psychedelic The first 10-30 times you smoke, you will probably have a 'trip' and feelings of deja vu etc After you are used to marijuana, then go for acid or shrooms You will find that weed is more than enough for you at first But to answer your questions: buy 3 tabs, take one and if you feel like you can take more after and hour (not just 20 minutes, wait a full hour) than up it to 2 You probably will trip hard on 2 tabs, but they vary in potency based on who and where you are getting the tabs from Many people including myself were drawn to the idea of acid for hallucinations, possible synesthesia (mixing of senses; seeing sounds) and all that jazz, out of body experiences Don't expect to visually trip too hard, just keep and open mind and let your mind run free I expected too much on my acid trip and it kinda sucked, I was still wondering if it was placebo and I was just pathetic tripping on a blank piece of paper Idk that sucked ass though, I just felt empty, opposite of marijuana high But shrooms hit the spot for me, a rebirth You will have a great time just with 2-3 friends out doors in wildlife Somewhere safe and peaceful, make sure its not too cold outside If you are inside don't even try to watch a movie, you will get distracted and not even pay attention to it at all, you will have more fun starring into clouds and at grass and trees as they breathe and wave, contort beautifully Get some music ready, ambient stuff and light rock stuff like pink floyd or chili peppers will really put you in the mood don't sit in a chair the whole time, crawl on the ground, be a child again and relive your life
I REALLY dont think you should try LSD if you havent tried any drugs before. Being high is a whole new experience but tripping is way beyond anything and everything.
if tripping is a completely different experience than weed (which i totally agree it is), then what advantage would it give someone thats tried weed vs. someone that hasnt? weed has never been "psychedelic" for me in the way lsd is so if u think ur ready, and are ready to deal with any consequences/bad feelings/intense ego dissolution....do it its an experience you will never forget, and if you do it right, you cant go wrong
its just to have that prior knowledge under your belt. to feel intoxicated before you completely lose your mind. its just good to at least know what some form of high feels like before you go for the bigtime stuff. you should work your way up the chain, smoke weed once or twice then try acid. trust me weed isnt groass or whatever you said, its just really fun and you have a good time nomatter what is happening (unless your cold or hungry = never good high). just get that knowledge in there before you go for some cool colors or somthing. i remember the first time i smoked weed, it was NOTHING like any tv show i had ever seen. its just good to know somthing in advance thats all.
k, ever been drunk? imo feeling intoxicated is nothing like tripping...lol...ive had this conversation w/ many friends (especially while tripping) and it seems weed/alcohol become such shallow substances relative to psychedelics. weed is for a fun, relaxing time....psychedelics are serious....i would never recommend using psychedelics to get fucked up, as then i believe you might actually fuck urself up...haha i did try weed b4 lsd, but idk if it made me any more prepared for lsd. erowid prepared me...do the research and build up the knowledge to make ur own informed decision on whats best for u, as i think every1 would agree ultimately this is a personal choice. just be smart w/ whatever u do...granted experienced advice is good, it doesnt prepare u
Smoking weed isn't going to prepare you for acid. If your as sure as you sound then you should have no trouble enjoying a nice trip. I suggest starting with one tab.
I suggest starting with five. I dont buy into the whole "test the water" mindset, the first tiime I did acid, I started with eight hits, and it was the greatest experience of my life. The less prepared you make yourself, the easier it is to get totally absorbed in the experience, and the more profound you trip will be. acid isnt like any other drug, so nothing will prepare you for the surreal strangeness of the trip.
I would definately try smoking a bit of pot first anyways. You might even want to try a lighter phycadelic such as magic mushrooms because they give you some sort of idea on what actually tripping on LSD is like. Good luck to you my friend, and I hope your future journeys are great!
I fully think that you should try LSD as your first drug. Although I fully suggest studying trip reports, and planning out your setting very well. If you're going to be in a house have a movie or something to watch, and a playlist of good calming music to listen to. Or go outside and do it. Also I'm really interested to see how someone takes to LSD as their first drug, and how it goes? So I guess I'm asking you [gets one one knee] will you be my drug guinea pig?
Comepletely stoned (and off-topic) comment here but, It's awesome how the unfamilar mind holds such an expansive expectation for the influence that psychedelics or any other drug for that matter will have upon them.
I agree with norcaligreenfriend, trying to ease into the experience with low doses is a symptom of timidity, and there's no room for that with L. ya gotta dive away from yourself and trust the energy. I don't think its needful to try mj as a precursor to lsd. a lot of the boomer hippies didn't want to touch any drug but read insightful facts about lsd by tim leary and others and tried L, taking it seriously and expecting a spiritual learning experience, and acquired it. you should try mj if you are curious about mj, not about lsd. you don't have to smoke it, you can make edibles with it and those are widely considered to be supreme cannabis heaven. you clearly know how to research, so you won't have trouble finding recipes
I would go for it. The only thing you should really keep in mind is that panicing is the worst thing you could do and that anything that happens, you should just go with it. I first dropped acid when I was 15 and in school. The most horrific thing I experienced was that everyone was speaking but it sounded like they were talking backwards. And I went to a very strict school so I didn't tell anyone I was tripping because I didn't want them to fuck with me and make me freak out. So I had to sit there and smile and nod while everyone in my gym class is talking backwards. Not too serious, but some people might have freaked out. Just go with it. Don't have any plans to do anything because it won't work out. The last time I tripped I dropped three hits and just sat in the Village in NYC and just watched. Prospect park is another good place because if the clouds are low it seems like the planes are bursting through. Anchoring yourself to a room isn't a good idea to me because if I'm confined I start to feel as though there's nothing outside the room and that all that is the universe is in front of me.
After talking to some of my friends, I think I'm gonna try magic mushrooms first. Mainly because I don't know anyone who can get me any acid.
shrooms are great. while the experience will be different, the way you approach it is pretty much the same. For me, shrooms are much more dependent on setting than L. I could never shroom well indoors, only outdoors during the day. After you get used to L, it's easy to change setting and you feel more in control. At least I do.
