1.since its my first time would i trip of half a hit or should i just take the whole thing
take a full hit, or two... My first time i tripped with a friend and we bought 3 and did 1.5, it was great...
2. if i take the acid at 8 at night will i be able to sleep at like 4 in the mourning then wake up at around 10-11 in the daytime and be sober
4am? you might be able to fight to sleep but in my experience that's where things start to get into a bit of a headfuck... that's about the point in the trip where i usually get comfortable in my bed, put on some beatles and close my eyes, CEVs and the general emotions get intense... you will definitely be sober by 10 though... I would save it for a time when you have nothing planned, after my first acid trip i was shaken up....
3. when i take X my eyes stay dilated till the next day is it the same on acid
Pupils will generally go down in size by the time your sober...
and finally 4. will i be able to control myself like if the trip gets a lil scary can i just remind myself that im on acid and and its not real so i should just enjoy it
As far as this its best to just try and avoid a bad trip than to try and get out of one...
Set and setting are important especially when your new to psychs, do it in a good mindset and in a good setting without people your going to worry about.
Trip with a friend your first time, you can talk about things that come across your mind and when shit is flooding your mind you will probably want an outlet of some source... I love tripping by myself, by for the first time its best with a friend....
Before the trip write on a sheet of paper "i am on LSD, i took this drug and its making me feel the way i am, things will be back to normal by the time the sun comes up" or something along those lines... Anyone could tell you that you took something and its making you feel this way, but being able to read it in your own handwriting tends to be more comforting...
If something is starting to bother you, try and get away from it whether its something physical or mental... Physical is easy, change the setting by going outside for a while or if your outside try going inside... Mental can be a little more involved... Thoughts and feelings will be strong, bad thoughts and feelings suck, but the good news is the attention span on acid is relatively short.... Find something to think about, i have heard of a method being used that is pretty simple... Hold your thumb and index finger apart and try and put all of your thoughts into defining a distance between the two fingers... To a sober mind the answer would be about 6 inches... To a tripping mind, you might ask yourself "what is an inch or any measurement of distance? well the metric system is based on a set unit, maybe i should try and figure it out in centimeters, now where did i leave my ruler?" and that train of thought kind of keeps your attention on something and by the time you decide on an answer or get distracted you have probably forgotten whatever was bothering you in the first place....
I have never had a bad trip, my first acid trip i felt insane... So many thoughts and revelations were flowing into my brain, and i had that megalomaniac feeling of knowing everything... Erowid list that as a negative, i think the feeling of being all knowing kind of remarkable... Thinking about it i couldn't remember what sanity even was or felt like, but i managed to just tell myself "its the drug, whatever sanity was i was ok with it and it will be back by the time the sun comes up".... That first trip shook me to the core, it was the most intense and life changing trip i have ever had...
I like to use the sun as a measurement of time while tripping. You will learn that time is a very relative thing, hours can and probably will seem like days... 2 hours into a trip can feel like it should all be over soon but your not even really peaking yet...
I really do hope you can get even a fraction of what i have gotten from this wonderful chemical... It changed my life for the better, i discovered happiness from the very first time.... Most will say that afterglow fades, but if it impacts you enough it can change your perspective on things forever... For me it was the happiest experience of my life, the trip was like an atom bomb of happy going off in my head, the leftover radiation of happy is there for a long time...
Please report back after you trip - I'd love to hear how it went...
