To trip or not to trip?

start with acid. A lot of people say to try mushrooms for their first time. I did, and although it wasn't all bad it was very intense and can turn into a bad trip especially for people who aren't used to tripping. It was the weirdest drugs experience I've ever had and at times was intensely scary. I tried acid not so long ago and expected it to be like mushrooms...but it wasn't at all. It was very easy going, beautiful and overall an amazing time. Defiantly go for acid the first time!

 

Yeah but opiates are the most addictive form of substances known to man.

 

people have alot of fear of having a bad trip. if you want to expiriement with psychedelics but are afraid, i would ask you to check your intentions. the thing about these substances is they have great medicinal potential....if your "sick" with fear and anxiety in life, chances are its going to be intencified greatly on psychedelics (not always the case, everytime is different) thats the medicine, feel it, move through it, take it on and work with it. thats what these substances have to offer, a microscope through which we can view our lives and conciousness. you cant run from yourself....and the only way your ever going to be able to trully embrace and love yourself is if you confront yourself....know yourself.

btw, everytime i injest a psychedelic these days i am afraid.... im living in peru right now drinking ayahuasca 3 times a week with a curandero. before every ceremony my ego is brought to its knees trembling. there is nothing wrong with being afraid, its how we deal with our fear that is important. check your intentions, your priorities.

Trip

 

great thread, i agree with stonerbill that tripping hard becomes the obvious choice after some experience with psychedelics. There is very little fun in teasing yourself, and thinking to yourself as you're peaking "Man, I should have taken twice as much :\" because even though its AMAZING its a pretty weak amazing, and you can tell that if you took more this would be a life-changing moment.

marijuana causes more anxiety than any other psychedelic, for your first time either acid or shrooms is good, a good trip with shrooms is better than a good trip with acid, but a bad trip with shrooms is worse than a bad trip with acid.

but bad trips are not part of the drug, they are part of you, in the equation

drug + you

bad trip is in the second term, and that can be dealth with before hand. Be brave imagine this is the last test you must pass before being alowed to be enlightened. Just think of it all positively and don't give in to, or even lend a serious ear to, anxiety, paranoia, and hesitation. Learn to identify these awful mental habits and squash them like the annoying bugs they are (both in insect terms and in computer terms!)

you are not your mind. You HAVE your mind, just like you HAVE your body, but are not your body. Therefore, exercise as much control over your mind as you do your body; ie, almost total.

And be ready to be humbled. Get comfortable with the fact that you don't know 1% of "truth", and that your journey is now beginning.
