LSD first time tripper at night alone! Suggestions?

[Karolina990]

I am 18 years old with a pretty clear mindset currently and I have 1 hit of LSD which I am planning on doing on Saturday night. My parents aren't here right now nor is my brother or anyone, and I have a pretty big garden and am planning on putting a small campsite for myself there and trip.

Any suggestions? I'm not going to invite anyone because I kind of want this trip to be a self-exploration thing. I'll also have a lot of pot to calm me down just in case. I plan on having music there, books (although maybe I won't feel like reading).

I decided to trip outdoors because I love nature and I don't want to feel suffocated. Any suggestions you experienced trippers have for me? :D

sounds fine, make sure to bring a notebook for notes and drawing, as well as some music. I'd also think it would be pretty cool to trip outside with a tablet and watch something cool but i know some are opposed to such things. On acid i like to do many things, even switch from one activity to the next over and over again, so i'd have lots of things to do and back up plans.

don't smoke too much pot, try not to at all actually. makes the trip different/less visual imo and can make it seem too intense.

LSD works wonderfully with music, and I think it's very worthwhile to have a playlist worked out that lasts for a few hours of some appropriate music. Tastes obviously vary but I've found that longer, abstract, more majestic type compositions are the best for me. It's also OK to listen to stuff you already know; you'll feel like you're hearing it in a very different way while tripping.

Another thing is that for me I don't suggest smoking pot, unless of course it's a daily or near-daily habit for you anyway, in which case it isn't likely to affect you too much because of your tolerance. That's because I find I'm more at risk of getting paranoid if I smoke pot.

Come up anxiety is always a concern when doing any psychedelic, so it can be useful to have one or two alcoholic drinks around if you're feeling anxious. They won't be easy to drink because your stomach won't want to ingest anything, but if the high seems too difficult to master then it can make a big difference.

It sounds like you've already taken care to give yourself a good setting, which is wise. Enjoy!

Sounds fine to me, 1 trip shouldn't be too overwhelming, you will have heaps of energy so I would suggest having some things to do, don't just sit in silence on your first trip or you could get a bit lost in your own mind, but some good music, and the right set and setting should be a great experience, if you do chose to have a sitter pick them carefully, it's a real skilled task and you need the right person.

One more tip, if you do encounter other people, you never know what can happen even if you planned to be alone the darndest things can happen, here's some great advice I was given when I started out...... The only way people will know you are tripping is if you say "I am tripping" otherwise they will just think you are like that anyways if they are strangers, if you know them (family, friends etc..) then you can just say you feel a bit ill and want to have a lie down, no need to tell anyone if you don't want them to know.

oh, and if you do think you can fly, practice on the ground before jumping off anything

Unless it's an extremely powerful tab, you should be totally fine. Tripping at night on my own was how I did my first trip, and it went fine. Still, considering it is your first time (and this is a personal regret, that I didn't do this) I would save it for something more special, like doing it out camping with friends or something. Your call of course.

Sounds like you're well prepared for a good time, just make sure you sleep in late Saturday morning because you won't be able to sleep Saturday night.

In fact, if you have the place to yourself, I'd suggest setting up camp and tripping during the day. I usually prefer it when there's more light out / things to see.

 

[ParappaTheRapper]

Tripping alone is the best way to get to know yourself imo.

No. This is practically an oxymoron.

Anyway, I doubt you'll encounter any rough territory with one tab. In fact, I think you're likely to be disappointingly underwhelmed -- but better that than overwhelmed.

In the OP it actually sounds like it's what this person wants is to have an introspective trip, and also to the others saying that it's likely to be underwhelming...suggestions like that could sit in this persons mind and effect said trip. Even if it is a light trip you can still gain a lot of insight into yourself and have a wonderful time filled with new insights about oneself and whatever you want to get from it, you can just sit and close your eyes while listening to music and see what comes of the experience. If you don't get what you want out of the strength of this trip you can still try again in the future with more acid with a little bit of experience behind you.

Smoking weed on most psychedelics can (most likely will) potentiate the trip quite a bit, so you can tread carefully and take small tokes and see if it's comfortable for you.

So true. I probably shouldn't have made the "underwhelming" comment. Maybe a low dose is disappointingly underwhelming if you're looking for an ego-shattering paradigm-shifting cosmic rebirth, but if you keep an open mind, psychedelics can be amazing at any dose.

agree, it is hard to give appropriate advice to anyone asking questions about what lsd will do for them because there are so many personal factors involved, I guess we all tried to give our opinions based on our own personal experiences, but your advice was very good.

looking forward to the OP sharing with us how it went for them.

best advice as a seasoned tripper and heavy weed smoker (in the past) avoid mixing weed with a psychedelic until you have a lot of experience with that psychedelic. for me weed amplifies the hallucinations and the mind space can be very paranoid, for others they enjoy it. i would steer clear of mixing the two when i knew little about how lsd affected me...

 

[velmwend]

Tripping alone tonight too. I plan on going for a long walk in the countryside. I plan on taking a notepad and nothing more. I odered some etizolam too, in case I need to calm meself but should be alright. Have a great night.

2nd that. Don't smoke at least until you've plateaued and even then very little at the time and see how you feel before emptying rest of the bowl!

I just, as in last night, tripped for what I'd call "the first time". I have had acid before about 2 years ago but it was too clouded with MDMA (candyflip) for me to recall it as anything other than positive. At night, alone. With my parents at home, but asleep. I had been stressing out about having a bad trip leading up to scoring the acid, as I suffer from anxiety. But I had 2 tabs, it felt as though it was good / mild acid and I had a fucking great time!

Ash.

I too tripped alone in my apartment for the first time. I did three strong hits which was a bad idea lol... My ego died and I forgot I ever did acid. At one point I was convinced nothing outside my apartment existed and that I was stuck in a timeless loop. It only existed if I want it to exists. Neither did anyone else. I was god and everything was the product of my mind. Then I realized I'm all alone and there's no point to any of this. It was ridiculously retarded but at that time I was convinced it was true. I was standing in front of a mirror and having a conversation with myself, debating whether life has a point or not.

My point is tripping alone can end very badly.

Sounds like your trip had potential. When you say tripping alone _can_ end very badly, I agree mainly because there isn't someone in the same plane that can help out like a fellow tripper. I trip alone all the time, but maybe it isn't for everybody

OP, you will just have to try and explore make sure your dose is something you are familiar with . I remember people used to say that tripping solo is a bad idea blah blah blah. For me, they are wrong and sounds like we will find out how it is for you. Lets us know %)

 

[Cornishman]

Music videos are awesome on LSD.
That is all.

 

[Bagseed]

tripping alone is fine, some people prefer it to tripping with friends (both have their advantages imo), but i suggest that you let a close friend know about your plan, just so you have someone to call if you need to. that way you can get the introspection you're after without having to rely completely on yourself. on a moderate dose, calling or texting someone shouldn't be that hard either.

enjoy, LSD is good stuff.

If it is really hard to find your home empty like this, hit it. I mean dont miss the opportunity.
