Hi there folks. I'm an Italian guy who is looking forward experiencing LSD with some friends. And these are the main questions that came up to my mind. Hope you can help me with this...

1- I know LSD is usually, at the very beginning, a transparent liquid. I know it could be put on sugar cubes and then eaten. But I saw some thread here showing up some sort of paper squares, and I was just wondering: How are you supposed to "eat" it? Are you supposed to lick it? What material are they build with?

<You're not allowed to ask about specific "brands" or source locations on Bluelight - n3o>

3- I'd like to try with something soft, so I'd prefer not to feel anything than to be too deep. I'm kinda scared of what myself is going to show me. What dosage are you suggesting me to achieve this goal?

4- LSD is like one of the most powered psychedelic existing on earth... Should I start with something lighter?

Thanks.

um i would say dont do acid yet ....try some rc's like 2ce, 2ci or 4aco-dmt they are good beginner psychedelics to give u a better understanding what trippin is like......acid gets alot deeper
 
1 - Blotter paper is way more common than liquid or any other form, nowadays. Unless all my friends are doing it wrong, it should be kept in your mouth, under the tongue, for 10 or 15 minutes, and then you swallow it. It's a small paper, won't do any harm to you.

3 - There's no way of knowing the dosage you're taking. Also, I can hardly conceive a soft trip. Either you're tripping, or you're not. It's not like alcohol, as you can be mildly drunk but not really drunk.
Don't be scared, because if you start the trip thinking you're not prepared, it's almost certain that you'll have a bad experience.
So you should read a lot, learn about the substance's safety (no overdose in 60 years), learn about set and setting, and be prepared to go down the rabbit hole.

4 - In my experience, LSD is a good psychedelic to start with.
 
sounds like you havent bought it yet - its most likely to be blotters (small squares of thin card usually with a picture or part of a picture on it) of a pill (microdot normally v small) there are other ways to get it but these are by far the most common. The easy thing to do is just do 1/2of one, its highlyy highly unlikely that it will be thaqt strong that a 1/2 will 'blow your mind'
 
As Efoj said...
1 - Yes, keep it in your mouth for some minutes, although I know people who keep it about one hour to assure all the LSD was absorved in the mouth. I don't know if it's actually effective.
2 - "There's no way of knowing the dosage" but you can take half blotter to start and after one or two hours, take the rest. In my experience, this method makes the trip last more.
3 - You can start with LSD but keep in mind it is not a mood elevator, and if you feel sad, unsafe or are experiencing any negative feelings you shouldn't take acid. Acid intensifies feelings, good or bad.

Good vibes.
 
so this weekend i went to a doof. its like a massive party out in the bush, a dancefloor with a massive speaker set up and trippy cloths and banners tied up to trees, then an area where we all camped. we usually blast out psycheldelic trance music the whole time.
i took 2 and a bit tabs of acid, two of them were the new felix the cat design thats been going around in my area, and a half of this tab my friend managed to get from Amsterdam. i had quite a wonderful experience.
i've never really tripped like that before,nor taken that much at one time. i felt like i'd crossed barriers into a whole new world. the australian bush is an amazing place to be tripping, day or night. you feel so alive, its like the life of the bush engulfs your being. you feel free, no matter what direction you look, all you see is life. trees, bush, animals. theres a sense of insanity, that you can just walk and walk and walk, into the bush,get lost and never make it back. you have no idea whats out there,and youleave the "whats out there?" to your imagination.very intense while on lsd.
has anyone eaten acid then fallen asleep? i did, one felix and i woke up tripping balls, as we put it. its very different to sitting and waiting for it to kick in, because you wake up and it suddenly hits you. theres not really any time to anticipate what our trip will be like, or what to expect. its better i'd say because its like waking up in a different reality.
i've only experienced acid a few times, and only keep it to raves and doofs every couple of weekends.
usually i read alot about drugs before trying them, and i take into consideration set and setting.
my trip started with me being quite disoriented, waking up under the influence. i got out of my tent, turned to my other mates who were still passed out and laughed at what they were missing out on. eventually i found other people id met at previous doofs and went and sat with them. one of them, offered me more acid. we all gazed round this new sheet of tabs, they were intricately pattered, and were purple, orange and white with skulls on them, the ones from amsterdaam. my mate told me as he unwrapped them that they were still wet when he had recieved them. was excited. he told me and two others they were really strong and so we thirded a square.
they tasted really metallic, as ive noticed lsd does. i let them sit in my mouth for an hour before they disintegrated to mush and i swallowed them.
he also unwrapped a couple of felix the cat tabs, handed me one, which are the new batch going around. also it has gone around that they are 30% stronger than normal, an error when they were made.
about an hour later, we headed through the bush toward the pulsing sound of the current dj mixing on the d floor.. im no expert on music, but psychedelic trance, you cannot explain how it effects you while on acid. its like everything, light and sound is pulsing through you in some form.
the dance floor was packed with people dancing, such a good vibe.
i was a bit scared at first, feeling disorientated and losing sight of my freinds but decided to make this a personal experience, and started to mosh, getting loose to the tunes.
everything infront of me was something else, i kept seeing the strobe light effect and yet there was no strobe light set up.
i walked in and out of the crowd of trippers dancing, and infront of my eyes they morphed into zombies moving rythmically to the beat of the music. when people spoke to me i heard what they were saying, but also i heard strange noises unlike anything ive heard before. zombie noises, noises from.. my hallucinations?
sometimes when i try to explain my trip i cant its just that much of a strange experience.
i started to freak out when this happened, and failed to find my tent and my mates for several hours.
i looked at others and wondered if they have similar experiences to what i have. i do this alot, i also wonder about what others think like, and how they think about things. do other people do this?
is this just the exploration of my own mind?
what actually causes these visions (like the zombies i saw) ? is it purely random thoughts when you look at something, like, hey look its a tree, while thinking about a cat, then holy shit, theres a purple cat in that tree but its just in your mind?
alot of people, mostly non drug users dont understand any of this so i wanted somewhere to share my experiences and ask questions with other users.

drugs are a big thing, they can change you in many ways. you need to be confident in yuorself before trying acid. when you're not, and you get scared, you might have what they call a bad trip, because acid intesifies all feelings good or bad.
if you are concerned, or want to start with something lighter, half a tab, if thats what you can get, or half the dose more experienced people take.
also do it in company of others that have experience, they can help.
tabs, for me personally are the only way i have consumed lsd. let the little square of paper sit in your mouth, chew it a bit and it will eventually go all mushy and theats when i swallow it. you should have a slightly metallic taste in your mouth.
onset can be fro 15 mins to a few hours, depending on different things.
dw though you will know when it sets in, just relax and feel good and happy and you will have a great experience :)
 
LSD is a serious chemical and shouldn't be taken lightly.. but the trip itself should be taken lightly. Unless you're depressed I'd say to drop a tab. The way I think of LSD is that there is no dose. Most drugs there's a certain dose that you enjoy most, take to much and you're not happy, don't take enough and you're not happy. But with LSD it's not like that. You can take as much or as little as you'd like and you can still appreciate it. Bad trips are all in your head, most of them last about 5 minutes tops anyway. You're the driver, you decide what kind of trip you have. For your first trip I'd recommend just one tab. It should likely feel like you just smoked the cleanest and strongest weed on earth. At least that's how me and everyone else described it.

LSD was my first psychedelic and I'm glad it was.

No bird soars to high if they soar with their own wings. :)
 
Acid is not a bad first psychedelic, but it's not a great one either. I would recommend mushrooms. They'll give you the same full spectrum of psychedelic effects, but they're easier to dose, last half as long (which is great if your trip goes wrong), and tend to have a stronger euphoric push.
 
You are very lucky, charliepiga. I would LOVE to go back in time to my first acid trip. IMO it's probably the best for a first time tripper. Mushrooms are great too, but if the trip goes wrong you're stuck in it until it wears off. On LSD a hot shower(and other similar things) can turn around even the worst trip. Here are some things I wish someone would've told me before I'd ever tripped: Make sure to have an ipod or something on hand to listen to music, dose on a sunny day in a natural setting with one or two good friends, if possible. Trying to deal with a simple task like buying cigs from a convenience store will become incomprehensibly stressful and confusing, so avoid public places like that if you can. Have fun!

Word. This gets at the essence of tripping successfully. Confusion can set in at any time and come at you from any angle, so you must be flexible and ready to abandon all but the most important of tasks. Can't figure out how to use your phone? Fuck it. You can text them later. Can't remember how to stand up? Fuck it. Keep sitting. Rinse and repeat.

With practice, you'll be surprised how much you'll be able to do while tripping fat balls, but when you're first standing out, a lot of things can get challenging, so just keep it simple and don't push yourself too much.

Hmm, I find acid to have a stronger positive push... both are good first psychedelics....
 
If you're looking for something milder, a low dose of mushrooms or 2c-x are generally pretty mild. With LSD, if you get potent blotter, one can still be an intense trip. Same thing if you get potent mushrooms but with 2c-x, you have a bit better of a guarantee of knowing general effects of the dose you take. You can check ranges on erowid of course.
 
Wait a minute. Some of you suggest me to have mushroom first but I read that LSD and mushroom are 2 very different thing: one just makes your sense more sensible while the other is an hallucinogen... Does any other acid has the same, but lighter, effect of LSD apart from half of LSD tab itself?

Whoa.
Man.
If only it was that easy ;)
You clearly haven't had a bad trip before :D
And neither have I, but I have witnessed and read about MANY bad trips, and LSD definitely is not as happy-go-lucky as you're making it sound.

Acid is a drug that deserves respect. There is no hurry with acid, start low and slow.

Charliepiga, exactly like MusicGuy said, you can take as little as you like and still appreciate it, so there's no need to go all-out balls-to-the-wall taking a whole tab for your first trip!!
I even recommend that novices start out with A QUARTER of a tab, especially if the person is nervous or hesitant about it, or has any history with anxiety or anything like that. Then if 1/4 tab doesn't really do anything, so be it. Next time you want to try acid, try a HALF a tab. You've got your whole life to try these things, there's no point in going out too hard and risking having a bad time. I've introduced a few people to acid, and they've all started with 1/4 tab and LOVED it, then progressed upwards from there.

I think the main reason people are suggesting mushrooms is because the trip doesn't last as long. But if LSD is what you and your friends want to try, and if you honestly want to try it, then go for it. Do you know what dose your friends are going to take??

Also, don't be scared about what your brain is going to "show you", unless you yourself know that there is something to be concerned about. In which case, maybe psychedelic drugs aren't for you. Only YOU know the answer to that though :)
 
I'm not actually really concerned about something now. I had been few years ago. I had go through some shit when I was a child. Scars that will just be there forever. But I've moved on... I guess. What do you mean with "something to be concerned about"?

Hello my friend.

LSD is a gift to humanity that, until you consume it- fall into those brain waves is impossible to describe. If you describe yourself as together, with a good base of friends and generally happy then you should have no problems. This is the drug that changed my world from somewhere i lived to something i was a part off. Just don't be silly-dont do it at a party, dont it with people who you're not comfortable with or with whom you've got an over complex relationship with and be prepared for the one of the best experiences there is. There's a reason the sixtys changed so much man ;)

Happy Tripping, i hope to welcome you to the awakened soon.

Peace x
 
What do you mean with "something to be concerned about"?
I meant like, if you know that you have troubling thoughts, or a difficult situation that you're facing, or if you know that sometimes you have difficulty controlling your thoughts. This could include the difficult memories that you have from your childhood, but only you know how you react when those memories come up, and where you're at with dealing with them. Having acid can make your mind a little bit delicate at times during the trip so it's just good to be wary of that before you do it :)

Chances are that you won't have any trouble at all, and you'll just have a great time!! So don't worry too much.

Enjoy! :)
