soooo ive taken acid a good number of times at this point, i'd say around 10ish, and all my trips have varied in intensity. Ive never experienced anything over a 5 (if 1 is not tripping and 10 is tripping balls--i dont even know my name)....ive never even surpasses a 3. I usually dose with my boyfriend (ive taken 3hits at most) and at first he would take more than me, to make sure my trips turned out positive..but as time went on we realized i needed a higher dosage to get on the same level. What i am most concerned about is this saturday i dosed with him and another friend. We each took 2 hits and started peaking around the same time but that is where the similarities stopped. Both of the guys i tripped with are more experienced in the lsd world which is why it is blowing my mind that they were getting extreme crazy visuals while i was stuck with nothing....sober enough to drive the space cadets home....what is wrong with me? is this a mental block i am putting up...why am i not able to get "out there" like i want to...(without having to take 5 hits)... HELP?!
 
Which one? Though I'd assume it wouldn't have an effect, that's just as guess until I look them up.

Also, some people naturally have higher tolerances than others. I had a girl once who could eat 9 grams of cubensis and not trip, of the same ones that I usually never take more than 3 and have a really good trip.

She's also had to eat 9 hits of acid before tripping, when I didn't take more than 3 or 4....

And at least 300mg of molly before rolling.... most expensive girlfriend ever.

its called junel, just a pill nothing fancy. i used to do a good amount of ecstasy in high school (around 14/15 years old im 21 now) so im not sure if that could have anything to do with a possible tolerance. I just dont know if i can bring myself to eat that many hits
 
If it's not hitting you as hard as you'd like why not just dose more?
Are you sure your taking legit stuff?
Everyone reacts to drugs differently, even more so with psyches.
try an extra hit next time and see where that lands you.
 
thank you all :) i guess my next step is going to have to be upping the dosage..but the more i take i get weird stomach cramps (as i and many do on mushrooms)..so that is one thing holding me back. i just not only want visuals, but to experience something mind altering
 
Mushrooms and cramps is nothing uncommon, especially at higher doses. Find something that better suits you and go from there.
 
It could be easier to just blame your body chemistry for deactivating the drug before you get a chance to trip, but there is also the possibility that your mind is tied up focusing on something and not letting itself "switch on" into the psychedelic state. If I were a therapist I might ask you if you had trauma in the past or any depression in the family, as these types of mental blocks can be very difficult to discover. But if you have done ecstasy successfully in the past, I would be inclined to say your mind should be perfectly able to "let go" into the drug's experience. Do you sleep normally, dream normally, etc? How is your love life, family life, etc?
 
Yeah. The body is fully capable of shutting a trip down. Tried that myself. Then your only left with the stomach-cramps and dizziness
 
I think a lot of this could have to do with the setting. Where exactly did you take these substances? I find that in certain settings a trip can almost become like a "buzz-kill", especially if I'm expecting something that will blow my mind to happen. Certain things, sounds, people, interactions, and places blow my mind more than others as it is, so if you're looking for the ultimate life changing experience maybe you should look at the set and setting of the "trips" you have (or haven't) had. (:

Think of certain details about that day that stick out to you a lot about those time periods, remember to think about all the variable
If nothing else, you could just have a bad body chemistry for LSD or maybe for psychedelics in general?
Hope you find what you're looking for!

^^ lol so true.

i have a friend who constantly needs 2x the dose of regular folk to just get himself started... and then it usually lasts half as much .... brain chemistries work differently, its just something you have to live with unfortunately. just like different people get different effects and side effects from the same substances.
 
Craziest thing was she was like 105 lbs.

However when she finally got enough to feel something, she'd be extremely happy. Though would still be acting completely sober... just a lot more talkative o_o;

ok this is what i was really looking for. i think that it could be something mental...i have gone through some family shit..alcoholic mom..pretty much raised myself n sis from 13..and i think i am very mentally strong?? or stubborned headed from that experience. i also agree that if i do want this life changing trip im goin to need to not be at a show for it to happen. sometimes other people get too much into my head and i think that also has something to do with it. thanks a lotttt you guys :)
 
Hmm very hard to say if the cause is physical / physiological or psychological - so if it's related to body chemistry or mind blocks. Both are possible, though if it's mental blockage I would expect to see anxiety or strain arising from the conflict arising from an ability to 'let go'. Because letting go is essential in trips, to accept difficult parts but also to give yourself the freedom to allow effects to come and go and do what they do.

Some people are just "hardheaded" it appears. First always check if it is something consistent but it sounds like it has happened multiple times and that other people get strong effects from the exact same batches. If this is the case, I'd use that same tried batches at increasingly higher doses and see what changes. If still nothing, you might just have to learn to live with that fact. I've heard before about unexplained immunity. Another option is to look into meditation and to learn to navigate altered states of consciousness that way, it can really help. You wouldn't believe how extreme the difference can be when I meditate during a trip. It can trigger the intensity to go wild and let me approach ego death experiences.

Hope this helps. It's not economical though that's for sure. :D

Also be careful about assuming that this same effect is true for all psychedelics if you come to try other / new ones. It's very possible that you react strongly to other psychedelics quite unexpectedly. This may be something for you to explore, but of course only if you are comfortable with trying new things. Increasing doses of acid or mushrooms would probably the first thing I'd do.
 
i figured i would add to the conversation.

I am OPs boyfriend. My first experience with L was at bonnaroo a couple years back, and have since become a self-called "experienced" tripper. I've always taken great measures to ensure positive experiences, making sure that logistically everything we may need is accessible, not tripping alone, testing paper in small quantities initially to measure strength of L, etc. etc. I enjoy tripping and generally do not have bad experiences.

OP, healthwise, is fine. (side note: its funny calling my girlfriend OP haha) I do not think that her "block" is triggered by medication. Also, we have tried numerous different batches of L. We've been bunked maybe twice at festivals but it was definitely bunk becuase no one who ate off the strip tripped. We do not get low-quality L often, which is fortunate becuase living in the Southeast can make it difficult to get any sort of quality L. We've had legit fluff, champagne crystal, lavender crystal, etc pretty regularly and they are strong. I have a generally low tolerance for L; I take 1 hit if Im just looking for a chill trip/seeing a band or something, and take 2 if I'm trying to get space cadet status, or if one of my top bands is playing, etc. I've never needed to take 3+ hits, and I probably won't ever. Our setting has never been in an uncomfortable place- we've tripped at numerous festivals, multiple shows and venues, at my house, at her apartment, outdoors, etc. and there hasnt been much difference.

When tripping with OP, we are generally on the same level during the come-up, but once the peak begins she just doesnt quite get there. After a couple hours (as I'm coming out of peak), we're generally back on the same level, but I feel like what she is experiencing is only really the typical "side effects" of an L trip- dilated pupils, slight lingering visuals, not much of a body high, cant sleep, etc.

I've done my research on L and know my stuff pretty well. It is my theory that OP is just mentally "harder to break" than some people. What is causing that? Im not sure- we're trying to figure it out. But we do know that if I take 1 hit at a show and she takes 2, we're basically on the same level. So we're thinking that perhaps she just has a higher mental tolerance than average people.

Thank you bluelight for helping us with ideas on how to overcome this. OP is a wonderful girl who I am blessed to be with and love dearly, and I want her to "get there" with us and have that awesome first-time mindblowing experience, not just watch our friends and I trip balls and have to play babysitter.
 
the first SEVERAL times i consumed hallucinogens, 2-C, DOx, etc, i never tripped or had more than a slight body high, including the time my guy literally squirted a cocktail of 2c and DOx on my tongue. first time i had LSD, one hit had me BEYOND space cadet. I know for a fact that LSD varies by region and by what time of year, since the families (shh) wont release the good stuff very often. halloween, i had mind-blowing visuals and a completely changed state of mind, and im STILL not the same. since then, ive only had body highs off L. could be any combination of mental block, and your local family.
