Inexperienced with LSD, need some advice on boosting visuals

Just to begin with, I realise there is no "standard" when it comes to tripping on acid as it is different every time but here is what I experienced and I would appreciate it if the more experienced can tell me how "normal" of a trip this is

Around 7pm consumed a blotter presumably ~110ug, source is trusted so I am willing to believe. First sensation of tripping I got was feeling very relaxed and calm, then around 60-70 min after consuming I started getting some very minor distortions in the vision i.e. the lamp appeared to be brighter as well as a feeling of more acute hearing. 2h into it I had a joint and it seemed to trigger some more visuals but nothing too strong - some waves on the walls, slight blurriness, colours appearing to be sharper and a lot of giggling. 4h into it and one more joint later some chill music was on and we lay down with lights out. With eyes open I would still see kind of fuzzy and for 1-2 seconds I had the feeling that the windowpane was dripping. With eyes closed I expected to see colours and patterns but instead felt more like I was dreaming while awake. Took a walk later, feeling like my feet were operating on their own. 7h into it I felt sober and decided to go to bed and was looking at a little red lamp on the heater next to me and man it got so weird, the whole heater was wavy and swirly and I must have been staring at it for one hour before I finally went to sleep. Altogether, I felt very at peace but expected some more as far as visuals go as in expected more colour distortion, more fuzzy/wavy objects and patterns because other than the heater not much was going on (not expecting dragons and faeries).Today I feel so peaceful and happy and lighter in a sense that I feel like I've shaken some negative energy off which definitely leads me to thinking I will give LSD a shot again. I would however like to boost my visuals a bit next time so what would you recommend as far as dosing, setting and physical state go (i.e. mdma usage, does it interfere? best to take on empty stomach? weed - recommended or not?)
 
Hey lucidly, In terms of more visuals, you just need to eat more acid!! I always prefer tripping at home alone, or with someone else who is also tripping. Generally when someone is "babysitting" you during your acid trip can sometimes make the experience a little weird, cuz the other person just doesn't get whats going on inside you and around you, they need to be on the same level as you.

My first trip I ate about 3 tabs of some good shit and tripped by myself in my room, which was out of control. I wouldn't recommend tripping at a concert for newbies because it can become a little intense.
Plus being alone lets you focus more on your visuals. Pop in some earbuds with some good music and just chill out in your room. have a friend to call if things start getting weird.

Also, MDMA an acid is a popular combination, not sure if it actually effects the visuals from the LSD, but will surely enhance the body high.

smoking some buds always enhanced the visuals for me as well, especially once your comin down, some buds is never a bad thing.
 
1. Don't trust your source, always test.
2. Try a higher dose
3. your last questions all have their own threads on this website, or drugs-forum.com. many responses too.
 
one time i was buying Wow blotter from a friend, the shit was kinda like you described, good but not great, so tested it turned out it wasn't acid it was DOx drug and god im so burnt out from this website sick of talking to people who complain about the quality of their drugs but refuse to even test them...
 
I didn't complain about the quality, like I said I really enjoyed it, I am simply wondering how to boost the visuals. As far as testing goes, I have ordered myself a kit and I am waiting for it to ship so next blotter would be tested for sure, as someone who enjoys mdma I am well aware of the importance of testing your stuff :)

I was tripping together with some friends but somehow it didn't feel quite as comfy as I had thought it would be. I was having fun but my trip was a rather quiet one in a sense that I didn't feel like talking and felt more like concentrating on what was going on in my mind. What bugged me the most is that I didn't get to set my own pace so I am thinking next time I will trip alone or maybe with just one other person around.

with me a get a little bit weird towards the end..once I start coming down I never want to talk to anyone, I like to take a very weak opiate at that point, makes me more sociable. but yes I agree seeting your own place, or at least a comfortable environment always helps..

try tripping by urself yo, its fun!
 
1) Eat more acid. 110mcg is quite a light dose... I would take at least 2 tabs of that stuff. If you really want to trip balls then take 3 or more. Above 300mcg I get strong synesthesia and extreme visual distortion.

2) Meditate. You need to learn to relax into the experience and get in your groove if you want great visuals and intense euphoria.

3) Smoke weed.

I think what got to me the most is that the others were going around restlessly. Every 20-30 minutes someone would call out for a joint, cigarette etc. so I didn't have the time to sit and focus. But anyway next time I will first and foremost test my acid, secondly increase the dose by a little and thirdly plan a solo trip with someone I trust for a sitter and see how that goes. I'm pretty excited, honestly it was an experience like no other I've had before and I would like to experiment some more with it.

Actually the whole tab was supposed to be around 220ug as I was told but my source warned me not to take the whole one. They were concerned because it was my first trip and it seemed logical enough to do what I was being told, better safe than sorry. I guess it got me a bit concerned but anyway, next time I will go for a whole tab, it appears to be pretty decent so I'll test it for myself and from there on I'll just experiment with the dosage.

Adding the caveat that I have never done anything like this right up front, I understand the Beatles were pretty blown away after smoking DMT at the peak of their first ever LSD trip, but after a cursory google, I was unable to find anything to back that up.

This is not a recomendation. I suspect it might be one hell of a hit!
 
O, I hear that man. You had a positive experience with the dose you consumed. You could experiment with the same dose and different activities. I enjoy music. The Grateful Dead recordings on Archive.org are very copacetic. You could visit the zoo during the first two hours then walk it out in the country later and watch the sunset. This could make a good memory. I never was interested in taking psychedelics in high doses.

I recommend avoiding mixing other drugs with psychedelics, especially caffeine. Cannabis proceeding and during the peak of psychedelics makes the experience fogy and lethargic IMO. After the experience a few puffs of cannabis is pleasant. For some people MDMA has different effects than others. If you use MDMA about 4 weeks apart you should be great. Other psychedelics are better used about 2 times during the month.

Oh maan at some point when the light was off, listening to some music, no idea who the artist/song was but it was one of those super trippy psychedelic tunes, I actually noticed it was kind of stimulating my visuals or at least it felt like it.

As for MDMA I didn't quite express myself correctly, I didn't mean taking simultaneously, although I'd try that too. I was at a rave party the previous night, consumed about .5 of MDMA so I wonder if that may affect the LSD. But they work on different parts/receptors so I guess it's cool. Definitely going to google some stuff on that now.
 
I'll add to the vote that taking more should increase your visuals. Anything around 200ug or more should be good enough if you already got the "frying" effect at 110ug.
 
Just take more, I got semi decent visuals from 150 mics but not as intense as 2.5g cubensis mushrooms or 22mg 2C-B, thing is though acid is all about the headspace for me rather than the visuals, well really all psychedelics are like that I guess but, what I'm saying is if you want more visuals try a more visual psychedelic maybe. Like at 150mics I did want more from the visuals on acid but really the head high/altered state was powerful enough at that point and if I'd gone to a higher dose (at that time, early in my psychedelic use) I may have freaked out. Whereas 2.5g mushrooms had a similar strength headstate but almost 2x the strength of visuals, then 2cb had 2x the visuals also but maybe half or less of the intense head space

Yep I have experimented with some shrooms and got some good visuals, I seemed to enjoy the LSD more though. Generally the feeling LSD left me with was more enjoyable, hence why I would like to stick to it but also boost the visuals. Going for a higher dosage should do it for me. I am not sure when my next trip would be but I definitely plan to take a larger amount and see how that goes for me.
 
Take more LSD. You took a low dose and what you described is common for the dosage you took.

When I was into tripping I loved smoking pot on it; but not everyone likes doing this.

correct, LSD and MDMA have different mechanisms of action. despite this they both share several binding sites and the MDMA induced influx in serotonin release could desensitize receptors. i expect the effects of LSD were reduced. 500mg of MDMA is a higher dose after all. such a large dose could also reduce you sensitivity to other chemicals awhile. other people question this.
 
if that was a half of a tab as you claim. you should just take a full tab next time.

watch this at 4 hours in and thank me later.

 
Speaking just in terms of what will increase your visuals, nitrous will do exactly that- for the duration of the canister and some time afterwards. However, they are also very more-ish in the sense that they provide a feeling of 'some great revelation is just a canister away'.

If you can restrict yourself to a few instead of going through like 20 or so then they will certainly improve your visuals without making you fiend too much. Or you could just dose higher as others have suggested. Definitely meditation too. Sometimes i feel like nitrous is sort of a short term cheat method to see what practice at meditation long-term can provide.

Having said all that, i never trip with nitrous nowadays because i'm not looking for that level of intensity. But if you want spectacular visuals it will 100% provide them.
