Ahh, I've only done Acid once when I was incredibly drunk and ended up passing out and when I woke up the effects were totally gone.
I'm planning to do acid again very soon, within the next 2 weeks. Recently a person I know had a terrible experience on Acid and ended up having the worst trip of his life. He's pretty much been fucked by it, was arrested and has stopped taking every drug (he used to be a casual user of just about everything).
bad trips can happen, people occasionally stop all drug use after.... its turned full blown addicts more sober than the pope... It is powerful, with a little respect you should be fine. A good set and setting, with a reasonable dose for your first time and all will be well....
I'm really not 100% if I want to do this, I mean I really want to try it again and experience the "wonders of LSD". But my friend has been telling me about how terrible his trip was and how he regrets it and its making me fairly uncertain.
Can anyone help me here? I've got some previous experienced with Mushrooms and thought it was great fun.
Understandable, but then again you could have an amazing experience.... my first trip was the happiest i have ever felt multiplied by a thousand.... so happy that ecstasy is not sufficient to describe it... so happy that it changed me, showed me that i did not really need any more reason to be happy than to simply be alive... and to someone like me who was depressed, that realization is a wonderful thing, in 12 hours i went from hating my life to being happy to be alive. Ive done acid more times that i could keep track of, all have been good experiences. Bad trips are not all that bad, usually you will only have them if our in a bad setting or your mindset is not great... if you go into it with apprehension or regret, expect these feelings to affect your trip, go into it without regrets because once you put that paper to your tongue there is no going back. If you think about having a bad trip, it might happen....In all reality though, most people consider mushrooms more likely to cause a difficult experience.
Go outside, trip with a friend your first time, draw, color, ride a bike, watch your ceiling, listen to music, if you play an instrument by all means get it out and play....
If things start to get overwhelming, just let go. Just remember that it will all be over eventually. Write in advance before your trip on a sheet of paper "I took LSD, i took a drug and am not crazy, thing will always go back to normal" or something along those lines. Sure anyone can try and convince someone on Acid suffering from a bad trip that everything will be alright, but seeing it in your own handwriting can be even more convincing.... If you get hung up on something try and put all of your concentration into something abstract, like holding your thumb and index finger apart and asking yourself "how far are these fingers apart" seems like a simple question to a sober mind, its a matter of inches or centimeters, but what connotes an inch, a centimeter, a yard or a mile? one thought will lead to another and you will gradually probably get farther into the question, and by the time you settle on an answer you have probably forgotten what the original question was and whatever might have been bothering you....
When your thoughts are racing more than you ever thought possible, distracting yourself from something for even a short time can get whatever was bothering you off your mind....
Do it on a nice sunny day, or a clear night... either way i suggest you spend some time outside as it is simply beautiful.... in the day colors are vivid but shifted.... I went kayaking on a hit of some pretty good acid a couple months back, kayaking under a blue and purple sky with the sun bearing down but not feeling hot at all, the ripples in the water reflecting the sun looking electric and forming patterns of infinite complexity.... I could have been out there all day. But night trips are fun as well, looks like someone shot the sky full of diamonds, an overwhelming amount of stars, its easy to get lost in them, the glow of the street lamps and shadows dancing on the roads, and it feels like your alone in the world, all is at peace...
