Doing LSD for the first time this summer

[Jpadilla]

Hello bluelight, this would mark my first post. To continue, a few buddies and I plan on taking acid this summer after school. I'm in 10th grade and I thought that waiting till the summer would decrease the likelyhood of a bad trip. The only drug I've ever done is weed which I only smoke on the weekends since a few months ago, and I also took adderall twice to grind through school work. Any advice or tips or even thoughts that you would like to share would be appreciated. Excuse any spelling or grammar errors.. Cheers .

16

I'm 16 (17 on the 20th) and I think you're going to love acid! I've taken it maybe 4 times (once being a huge 600ug dose) and have had no negative after effects. Only positive! Make sure you're somewhere there is no possibility if you running into parents or anyone you know, being called down to talk to my dad about my grades whilst peaking is the epitome of least favorite experiences in my life.

Good luck!

I advise against using at your age. 21+ is usually recommended, your brain is still developing.
Stay safe!

I was about that age when I first tried a psychedelic, and looking back I would have preferred to have waited. Not trying to sound demeaning, but the young mind is very gullible. Its very easy to end up with derealization or other delusional ideas if you trip too often. But is OP really going to listen to that advice? I thought it was a HR rule to never say someone can't do a drug, save for medical contraindications, because they won't listen and the discussion will focus on that rather than making sure the OP is gonna trip safe.

Just watch out that you're not gonna end up tripping on a weekly basis, or doing a 600ug dose for your second time, etc. Don't overdo it and you will probably be fine.

From the tone of your post it seems like you have already read a lot on the subject of safe tripping. Set/setting is key. I wouldn't do it in too large a group of people, just 2 of your best or smartest friends or something like that. Being far and away from your parents is recommended indeed. Make sure you have some music, though other than that there isn't much we can do to help you. Was there something specific you wanted to know?

p.s Test your blotter if you can.

If you hold off and wait until your 20s to try LSD, you'll be glad you waited.

I've done plenty of research and I basically have the fundamentals down in regards to avoiding a bad trip. I'm excited to experience such a thing and I'm doing it with 3 other buddies that I had my first joint with. I'm not worried about addiction or regular use because I know when to control myself and what to do. The reason I want to take it is because I want to know what it's like (out of curiosity) and because of my age (16) which I understand could be young, but I feel that I can find answers to questions I haven't even asked myself yet.. If that makes sense lol. As far as specifics are concerned I just wanted to hear other voices of bluelight and basic tips and maybe even your stories to enlighten me. Thanks !

We plan on doing it alone with one spotter. So there should be a total of 5 people there. All close friends of mine.

I've come across this issue before and I have contemplated it.. But it came to the point where I feel good about doing it. Thank you for the concern though!

Oh that it will. It will give an increase in a drive for self betterment, and that's a useful skill to have. The world will never be the same again (for better or worse), and that will make you walk a path of creative and intellectual interests. One thing to do look at is neurological priming. There is a chance that taking a psychedelic (or any drug) at this age, it will skewer your brain to grow in certain ways. Are you sure you want that?

Rule of thumb with acid and I'll make it jump out the page IF IT'S BITTER IT'S A SPITTER

If it has any taste at all it's not acid, spit it out.

I'm 19 now and I was your age when I first started tripping, but looking back I would have waited for various reasons, mostly because they made my preexisting mental issues much more amplified and isolated me from other people.

BUT if you don't have any mental illnesses or any in your family you should be okay. good luck stay safe and stay away from parents!!

also acid will bring you many more questions than answers.. all the answers are inside you already.

The concern with underage drug use is not that you'll have a bad trip, it's that no matter how prepared you are your brain is still developing and will be developing for a few more years. It's risky because not much science has been done on how LSD affects brain development, and what little science has been done doesn't make it look good.

Once your brain is more developed, it will be more resilient to the effects of recreational drugs. If you flood it with strange chemicals while it's still under construction, though, we just don't know what will happen.

I'm sorry if I seem like a buzzkill, but as you can see from this thread I'm not the only one with this concern. I really suggest that you learn from the experiences of others and wait a few more years - the acid isn't going anywhere, and really the best advice at this point is to focus on getting yourself to a good place in life over the next few years and then try it when you're truly ready.

1. The artificial aging debate.

2. The brain changing until age 26 evidence.

Do whatever you want. If you have to ask don't do it. If you want to do it, do it.


It's important to realize that everything about society is meant to control your mind and influence you. Acid does everything to make you look at things in a new way.

Tripping makes you do the right thing; not the easy thing. You'll end up sticking your neck out when people don't and doing things like drinking more because life sucks when you do the right thing.

Look at any president before and after term. They look like they've aged 35 years. Same deal.


Unless you are homeless are getting beaten, you'll be fine.

I agree, the op is probably going to do whatever they want. Is it technically more responsible to wait until later life to drop acid? Yeah probably but when it comes to me and everyone I know, responsibility never really factored into our drug use...

Different people's brains are more equipped to handle strong psychoactive drugs...some people are highly affected, while with others the drug hits their brain like waves crashing against a rock. Difficult to say how it would effect you, op
