Hmm, when I'm really stoned (weed) I can see a momonchrome of my surrounings thru my eyelids....weird....

Happens to me too sometimes.

Does anyone have a problem listening to music while on Acid? I would be fine but then BOOM, id be soo uncomfortable

i can sort of relate to you on this one..
that is, if i have a quiet trip at home with the mrs or something.. i remember the last time we planned to listen to cool tunes all night long, then for some reason when the acid hit us i couldn't have dared to put music on.

its different when you trip somewhere like at an outdoor psytrance party.. the music gets inside you and forces out extreme amounts of dancing energy from time to time.

straight up, my friend would tell me to turn on my ipod... and I would you know, but yea id like listen to the beatles... which was chill, but for some reason the volume would be half way nowhere near full blast or anything, I couldnt... and if I would I would trip out and be like woooaa... and then I wouldnt be able to handle it... just like shrooms for me

Id listen to techno too (Richie Hawtin, Dusty Kid, the works) and again I would be all stoked when the song would build up, and when it would reach its peaking point of the song (which by the way with techno its almost always never fast or anything, if anythings its a slow genre) I would get weirded out again, so id stop.


In the morning, I closed my eyes, and I was still able to see my room sort of, not perfectly or anything like that, but I saw my bed and other stuff and that triped me out in a bad way.... cus I thought maybe im going insane or something... ive only done acid twice..


all in all it was a good experience but next time Im tripping outdoors for sures, just like my first experience.

You just need to adjust to the drug.. Learn more about it, and come to terms with handling it better.
Everybodies first few times are intense.

QFE, it's amazing how different the experience is with such a small tweak of doseage.

I would argue that doubling an already solid dose doesn't quite qualify as a "small tweak"

For some reason doses up to 1mg have just given me extreme visuals and the "vibe sense" where you are able to tell exactly what people are thinking/feeling simply by observing the faint vibrations surrounding them/their aura. At the most intense moments of my LSD trips, there has been no ego loss. I've had more loss of identity on pot. Anyway what I think I am trying to say is that it's more about where you are and what you're doing than what you're taking. Shit, I think that's called set & setting.

Ever read those trip reports on erowid about kids taking two blotters and losing their whole world? The chemical just catalyzes what you already have in you...

 

[swilow]

^Damn- so I had an insane prophet with a penchant for nudity inside me? :D Should have realised it I guess..

 

[The Winner!!]

Over about ~500ug is where ego loss really becomes apparent. I would say that 300ug and 600ug are worlds apart. 300ug is like "I'm tripping my balls off" and 600ug is like "What am I?? What is this place??"

Ok, thanks.


Hey guy, I can really relate to that thing about closing your eyes. There was many times I would close my eyes and I would start seeing patterns and colors, then out of those colors and patterns it would turn into what I remember my previous surroundings to be (what they were before I closed my eyes) and what I would hear, it would synchronize with the visuals and my mind would think of the changes it would make, and it was like I was seeing what was around me right through my closed eyes, but made out of special tribal patterns and special colors :>

I've asked this a few weeks ago, but since my event is tomorrow night, I decided to ask one more time. : D

I've never tripped on LSD before, but I've always really wanted to. I'm very optimistic about it, and I don't see myself having a bad trip, since my outlook on it is very positive. I know I'll fall in love with it.

Tomorrow night, I'll be hitting up a field rave. This field rave with have roughly 700+ people at it throughout the night. Some of them I'll know personally, a few I've met a few times, and a bunch of strangers. I'm not new to the whole rave concept, but I just wanna make sure that trying acid for the first time at this rave will be a good idea.

I'll have a few people there to watch me and comfort me if shit goes south, but I doubt that'll happen. It's an outdoor event in the woods, wayyyy away from civilization. There's no security or anything like that. Just me, the scene, and the music.

Also, I'll probably end up candyflipping (also a first), because I love E too much to pass it up.





fck lol

 

[Shambles]

^ For me that sounds like an excellent setting for a first trip so if it were me I'd go for it

I'd also suggest that candyflipping when you've never tripped before may not be quite such a good idea as it can be seriously intense even when you know both substance well. Then again, it's also almost always pure bliss too... Probably best to leave it for another time when you're more accustomed to the acid alone though. I can assure you that it should be more than ecstatic enough as it is :D

Just wondering what it would be like to use LSD the night after using 4-Mar, if any one knows?

I'd say probably less than ideal. You'd be better off saving it for a time when you're not sleep-deprived and coming down from a stim-sesh. Psyches and stims (even stims from the night before and now faded) are rarely a good combo - think psychosis and you're on the right lines. You'll get a lot more luck with Lucy if you're better prepared physically

 

[The Winner!!]

You'll be fine. Let yourself go, slow and low that is the tempo

I was in the exact same set and setting on my first time experiencing LSD. Out in the woods, no security.. just music, people and wonderful vibes.

Tried a pretty good dose of LSD last night. When I got home, I was still tripping very hard, I looked at my pink Floyd poster and noticed each little panel had a distinct animation or effect while on LSD. It didn't seem like a hallucination but a re-adjustment of color and focus which made it seem like an optical illusion. Is this true or was I just ahllucinating this? And if this was legitimate are there any other pictures that were made specifically to react play with your sight while on LSD.?

Thanks for the time and answers guys.

Picture in question:

 

[inotocracy]

Any small and intricate picture will be trippy on LSD. You can always stare deep down into a surface while on LSD and notice various crevices.. it almost seems like you can stare deeper and deeper and there wont be an end sometimes.

 

[nearjat]

If a good setting comes up I'll be having one hell of a group LSD trip this summer!

It will be:

Me
My girlfriend
My best friend
A new friend who turned out to be an erowid junkie (rare find in these parts)
A new friend who has also done LSD once and had his life changed

Normally tripping with near strangers would be a no-no for me, but these guys are ideal tripping buddies.

Hopefully the last listed guy will be able to use the land his farm house is on, that'd be killer.

I'm not too familiar with LSD but I have now taken some on raves and other occasions. I have noticed that the tail end of the trip is pretty fucked up at raves, even though I don't feel like I'm tripping it's seriously twisted. Pretty hard to explain but just massive confusion, loops and weird thoughts even though I don't feel like I'm tripping. I guess that adds to those feelings because somehow my mind tells me I'm not tripping anymore but shit is weird. So uh just pondering has anyone else noticed this? I guess it all comes down to setting and to my inexperience? I find this interesting because the comeup and plateau effects are just easy compared to the comedown.

 

[Immunity]

I don't mind the comedown much but I have experienced states on mushrooms in which I no longer remember that I am tripping. I'm not sure that that phenomenon is limited to the comedown, in my experience.

Santiagod, I would look up art by Alex Grey. Neat stuff.
Reminds me more of DMT than acid though.

First Trip Tonight!

So excited I couldn't sleep last night!...About to have my first Lucy experience of my life tonight...
Just made a legendarily huge playlist of all the headies, hoping to enter the cosmos..
I will be tripping alone in my room and I cannot wait...

 

[Shambles]

Have a good one, Socal

Maybe drop in on the PD Social thread later if you feel the need to tell the world how great acid is - it's a common side-effect of first time acid :D

 

[mrsixstringer]

Hey there,

Had to make a new account because I can't seem to remember my password to my old one and my email that I used for that was compromised a while back...
Anywho, I just purchased 20 hits of blotter LSD the other day (it's on paper about 3'' wide and 1/2'' tall, marked into twenty hits.
I've tripped acid twice before but it was always very weak and I never really tripped too hard. I purchased this because I trust this kid, he's been a good friend of mine for about 8 years and hearing about his previous trips on this it sounds like quality stuff. Me and 3 friends of mine are tripping this Saturday (it was originally Friday but the weather will be crap that day). They're all pretty experienced with psychadelics so it's not a question whether I should take it or not. I'm mentally ready blah blah.

I'm just curious, what music do you guys like to listen to while tripping? Something that REALLY stands out.
Would it be better to wait until Saturday to trip? (Friday is 49 degrees high while Saturday is 69, much sunnier day)
I have some Xanax just in case, but let's say the trip goes fine and dandy and on the comedown I want to get some sleep, should I pop those hunnies?

I'm excited! I want to hear more stories from you guys.
