Hey Bluelight! :)

Recently I had the pleasure of watching my best friend's first psychedelic experience. I had a tab of LSD that'd been left untouched in my closet for a little less than a year (because of my disinterest in low-dose acid trips), and on a whim he decided to take it. I didn't think it would have any significant effect on him because the tab was so old, but both he and I were pleasantly surprised - after all, that particular blotter was pretty strong.

It really was amazing! He seemed to enjoy himself immensely. I smoked cannabis throughout the night while he tripped, and he almost seemed to share his trip with me - because of my past experiences with LSD, the way he spoke, what he said, and how he acted were all strong indicators of what he was feeling, and I was able to empathize with him on a rather deep level (the weed helped a lot in this regard). It was just a fantastic feeling to know that he was experiencing the same excitement and wonder that I did when I first took acid.

We had a lot of crazy, fun conversations; we even invented a new method of clearing one's mind called "pulse meditation" (which I might describe in another thread)! =D

I can't wait to see him really trip, now! He's only seen the tip of the iceberg... =D

I was wondering if any of you have been witnesses of the loss of psychedelic virginity as well :D, and if it was overall a positive experience for all of those involved.


Peace & love!!! <3
 
it was my second time tripping and there were four of us. 2 guys 2 girls. the other guy has had lots of trips, and as i said before it was my second trip, but it was the first time for the 2 girls. they said they both had a really good time, but one of them kept on talking and yelling, which we all didnt like. it was a fun time and it was interesting to watch how people react to others on acid
 
My best friend and I have been tripping together for almost 2 years, and have really grown together from it. But once we started expanding our group of trippers, we ran into problems because most people I know and he knows could only trip once or twice, and called it quits from freaking out.

Girls I have tripped with utterly ruin the experience. The ones I have encountered on drugs are only acceptable to be around in a party/rave type setting.
 
If i'm gonna trip with someone for the first time well his first time i'd have some IM solution of Alprolazam on hand just in case plus i'd start him low. The alprolazam solution would only be for piece of mind mostly!!! I believe erowid has a first time tripper guide that was decent i'd have them read that and try to prepare them and teach them how to let go and flow with the experience which is a must on any powerful psychedelic.

Always start out low even if you've tripped a thousand times on LSD if your experimenting with other materials then start low and work yourself up so as to avoid any possible bad reactions. I believe if your careful then you should never have a bad trip maybe a diffucult one which can be helpful alot of times but you should avoid real hellish nightmare bad trips by being careful. Once you have a bad trip thats had you in hell itself then everytime you take a psychedelic from then on you get a bad feeling during the comeup even on low doses for me!!!

Haha im glad im not the only one who thinks this.

I have a friend who trips probably just a bit less then i do.. i cannot be around her when we're both tripping because she seems to let her emotions control her immensely.. and i always soak up peoples emotions when tripping.. so she ends up putting me into an uncomfortable trip..

Plus shes also someone who would rather just see visuals then really try and decipher the trip, her thoughts and have realizations.. i truly believe she still grips onto reality as much as she can and fights certain elements of the trip.. which in turn gets pretty messy.

THAT said... i have met quite a few girls in the Doof scene which are a pleasure to talk with when there tripping, in my experience its not all girls, but a majority at least.

On topic:

I've only witnessed one of my friends trip on LSD for his first time after i had a few times, and it was pretty interesting to observe.. because we all went into psychedelics with the idea that it was only 'hallucinations and melting walls etc' and i explained to him just how much MORE there was too it.. so it was pretty awesome to see him understand what i meant.

Although this friend is now very anti-drug.. he had a few bad trips following and started to hang around very 'drug dependent people' which i think scared him that he would end up the same way. But oh well.. people are free to make up there own minds, he judge's me for still taking LSD.. and it annoys me considering i could be doing far worse drugs such as Meth or Heroin.. whereas LSD is unbelievably safe and gives such amazing insight into existence.

I think it scares some people that.. a drug so powerful must be 'cooking' there brain, and they easily demonize it.. but still have a relaxed view on drugs like Ecstasy.

That's really a shame. Tripping with a girlfriend, assuming all is well with the relationship, is an incredibly blissful, nurturing experience. But really, the other sex are a great group. The girls you're around are probably only acceptable at a party/rave type setting.
 
Ive introduced alot of people to psychedelic drugs over the years when I felt it may be something they would want in there life. Last year I turned on alot of people during the summer time with LSD. Both guys and girls , I really dont understand where your coming from when you say you have bad trips around girls , women are mighty fun under the influence of psych's. Sure many of them probably think of me as some type of Hippy crackhead , but I really dont care. I dont really have many bad trips these days even if Im at a party and Im the only one who is tripping. I have so much self esteem these days and confidence that no one can really effect my mood to much.

As far introducing loved ones to psychedelics I plan on dosing out my 21 year old little sister some time soon. She's always wanted to try it and ive given here tabs a couple of times and she claim's to have never really felt much. I tripped balls on the same batch so I think this was do to the fact she shot dope 24/7. She's clean now as far as I can tell so I think its time to give it another shot soon. Shes had mushrooms plenty of times but never LSD. I really want to show her how much better it is than shrooms IMO. I really dont eat to many shrooms these days the trips are always so utterly weird ive kind of been turned off by them. Acid is the best psych to introduce people to the world of tripping with in my humble opinion.
 
Also if its gonna be a first time for someone stay at home and be sure the first timer is comfortable there and feels safe there. A rave or house party setting is not a good idea at all and might end up being a nightmare or a heavenly dream but don't risk it!!!

Also I have no problem tripping with girls so long as there informed and mature woman that are somewhat intelligent which I must say I know more intelligent girls then I do guys to be honest!!! Tripping with some girls can be extremely euphoric even if there is no feeling between you nor anything just the being and soul of a woman can give off love and angelic like vibes in the right girl some become demonic like everyone else does for me!!!
 
Introduced two friends. It was my first time taking 5-meo-mipt and their first time tripping whatsoever. A pretty scary and wonderful night.
 
I was introduced to 2C-E, mushrooms, LSD, and molly by my older brother. I still prefer to try new substances with him over most other people. Tripping with a sibling or few close friends is definately the way to go if you don't want to trip alone. I've tripped with a few first timers before, but I wouldn't say I introduced the experience to them.

Tripping with girls who have a tendency to make unpleasant high pitched noises is no fun. Find yourself a gangster bitch to trip with.
 
I don't do it much anymore. I have access to psychedelics, knowledge about how to use them safely/positively, but I'm still VERY hesitant nowadays to introduce them to people's brains. They are so incredibly powerful...sometimes its best for your friend not to trip out hard.

Now if I do give somebody a psychedelic for their first time (or first time in a long while if they used years ago), I'll just take low doses (and give them low doses) and show them that psychedelics can be used as enhancers for whatever you're doing (cuddling, dancing, hiking, stargazing, etc).

Also, its complicated for me, because the last few years I have become very sensitive to psychedelics, so sometimes I tend to trip out very hard and if I'm supposed to be helping somebody through a first-experience then its hard for me to do that if I'm losing my ego and needing to lay down and acquiesce my psychology to the visuals.
 
About a year and a half ago I introduced my girlfriend to psychedelics with some 4-aco-dmt. She wasn't much of a drug user at all at the time (smoked weed maybe a dozen times, never even drank) so I was pretty nervous about how it would affect her. I was pretty relieved when we were sitting in front of a lake during the comeup and she turned to me and told me she was feeling better than she had in her entire life. She proceeded to have a somewhat therapeutic experience...her inner voice became super loud and manifested itself as some aunt jemima type big black woman and basically just reassured her about aspects of herself and her life. It was a great day.
 
I love introducing people to psychedelics, specifically DMT, however I ALWAYS make sure that they fully understand what they are getting themselves into, instruct them on what to expect, tell them to relax. I think that there is a right and a wrong way to introduce people to psychedelics... its kinda like sex: if done right its mind blowing and leaves everyone satisfied, and if done wrong someone can end up feeling violated and it an get messy.

I always make sure to ask about the mental health of the person and their family members... made the mistake of letting someone try DMT once who had mental issues and I learned my lesson very quickly.

I believe that the educated few (we here in PD and some other snazzy people out there) have a distinct RESPONSIBILITY to safely and properly introduce people to psychedelics. It is a responsibility that used to belong to shamans and today we fill that role but we seldom use as much respect for the psychedelics as shamans do/ did. <3
 
Somehow I seem to have done quite a lot of introductions to psychs. Quite often not exactly intentionaly, but always with great care. Sometimes I am shocked by the willingness of my friends to take random substances, without knowing the facts. I have tried to make information available to them, and for the most part I think it better that way, when they could be taking such things without the information.

I can only hope that sharing experiences etc, has prevented bad things from happening.
 
I tend to be cautious about whom I introduce to psychedelics. These substances changed my life in a huge way and the impact they can have on someone else is not something I take lightly.

However, if a close friend is set on the idea of trying them out then I make myself available as a guide because to most of my friends, I'm one of the most experienced and knowledgeable people around when it comes to this sort of thing. I consider it my responsibility as someone with this much experience to use it for the benefit of others.
Likewise, I extend that responsibility somewhat by not recommending psychedelics to anyone who hasn't developed his/her own interest in them independently of my influence. I have no problem being responsible for someone having a good, solid introductory trip but I do have a problem influencing peers in ways that could ultimately be damaging for them in the long run, for not everyone has or can acquire the skills needed to integrate powerful and/or difficult experiences in a healthy way.
 
I have had terrific times tripping with close friends and recently my 2 close cousins.
we just talked about our childhoods and it was really an awesome time. i have tripped many times my one cousin had taken a hit a few ties before and my other cousin it was his first.
They Loved it cause LSD and good people can never go wrong.
 
About a year ago I introduced my father to some 20x Salvia and he had an alright trip, just was dreaming of having a nice afternoon picnic with all his family and friends, but after he said it was too weird to do again. And a bit later I gave him a nice 3.5 of mushrooms and he had a pleasant experience. Nice bonding time. Until I lost connect since I ate 12
