The Big & Dandy First-Time-Tripper Thread

Acid can allow for deeper appreciation of music (yes, even electronic music...i know, gasp). However, IME it will not make bad music good. It will simply amplify your appreciation (or ability to appreciate) music that you already enjoy sober.

The problem with going to a concert with LSD is that you have no control over the music. If it turns out you don't really dig electro-house, or that a series of meh tracks drop, you dont really have a way to *stop* the music or change the track. If you're not allowed to go in and out of the place, especially.

I find that tracks I enjoy while sober (mostly EDM) are GREATLY enhanced during the peak of LSD. I'm able to slow sounds down, break tracks down into layers, and match visuals to music. It's my favourite thing to do while on LSD next to dancing.
 
The music will be 10000 times more intense. EDM is THE music to listen to on acid ime. If you want to experience the pinnacle of everything take the acid wait till you start to come down then pop a roll or three. You wont be the same person. Just make sure they dont peak at the same time. If you start to have a bad trip rolls will bring you out of it too.

This. X2. qft. Just have a sober driver regardless of distance.
 
^ Thirded. It's not nice being stuck somewhere on acid wondering how you're going to get home.

I also agree with those saying electronic music and acid are a heavenly pairing - it's almost as if it were made with tripping in mind ;)

I wouldn't personally recommend mixing acid and ecstasy without a bit of prior experience with acid first - incredibly euphoric combo but can also be overwhelmingly intense. I'd work up to that personally.

Have fun, sunsb :)
 
To be more specific, I think acid distinctly modifies the way I perceive music. When sober I tend to be more interested in melodies and the general progression of a song. However while tripping my interest in the music is much more based in the present. The specific qualities and timbres of the sounds in the music end up being what I pay attention to the most, and since a lot of electronic music is designed with the sounds/instruments in mind just as much as the overarching melodies and themes, EDM ends up really shining.

So yes, in general my appreciation of music increases while tripping, but I've found that of all genres electronic tends to get the most improvement.
 
i feel like i can dance better to electronic music when im on lsd even more so then mdma...if your comfortable and confident with your self on lsd in a crowd of people getting down then you will be comfortable while raging to Deadmau5 ...who rocks by the way!!!
 
OHH yeah i forgot!!! I got into electronic music through lsd...before tripping i thought that techno was completely lame then i acidentally saw a New Deal show while faced and ive been loven it every since dancing while tripping is my favorite
 
First Acid Trip

My girlfriend and i are about to have our first acid trip in a few weeks. Im planning on taking one hit of this supposibly crazy blotter and my girlfriend is going to take a half. We're planning on dropping around 8am and then just having the whole day to trip. Any tips?
 
dont make plans...just have activities available to you. Have fun and learn, LSD is quite a teacher

<3LSD<3
 
Do what you would normally do on a fun day all to yourselves. Just follow what feels good to you. I wouldn't go out in public (you probably wont want to anyway), music is always super nice.

Just go with the flow, LSD is fantastic :)
 
^ :D

All great suggestions. Personally, I never plan a trip - prefer to just go with wherever it takes me. I can assure you you won't get bored ;)

Gonna move this to the First Time Tripper Thread for you - have a read through and you should find alsorts of ideas and opinions. Have a good one :)
 
First shroom experience

Tonight I'm going to be taking my first booms. Any one have any things that I should do? Anything particularly amazing?
 
Have a read through one of the First Time Trip threads for some ideas, perhaps? There's one here and another one here that should give you plenty of ideas :)

Personally, I'd suggest just going with what feels right at the time. Get yourself some great music, take a walk if you feel okay to do so, ponder the mysteries of life, the universe and everything, marvel at the pretty things or just giggle like a loon for a few hours. All these things come highly recommended :D

Have fun :)

Will pop this over to the First Time thread for now in fact, I think. First time on shrooms or on any psyche, by the way?
