Should I do acid?

the reason I ask is because I have phobias -- mainly of cockroaches, and I don't know what would happen if I saw one while I was tripping.

I don't have much drug experience at all -- I've just been smoking weed and trying some synthetic coke (which is great btw).

Is there any less-potent hallucinogen out there you guys could recommend... if you think I could handle it?
 
okay, one point for acid! I'll think about it some more. still hesitant though. xD
 
Acid can be quite forgiving when it comes to bad trips, at least at low to moderate doses. Even with your phobia of roaches, it probably wouldn't be that bad if you saw one. Once, I was tripping with two friends and one of them got word that his friend died from cancer right as he was coming up on two tabs. He still managed to have a good, yet somber trip. But if the death of a friend didn't cause a bad trip, I think you'd be okay with a roach, although everyone is different.

Wow, that's makes me feel a LOT better. Thanks for the tip, though I'm sorry about your friend.
 
i do not think you are ready, reason being if you were ready you would not be asking if you should do it to a bunch of people who know nothing about you, and you know nothing about them, on an internet forum.
 
imo as long as you do it with people that you don't mind looking silly in front of, you'll be fine. My first time I geeked out so hard and could barely put sentences together because i was so overwhelmed with what was going on (but in a good- actually, AMAZING- way :) ) You just gotta be with people that you know you can be yourself around and you won't feel self-conscious if you have a funny reaction or if you want to ask questions. but ime, acid doesn't make you totally lose it or anything- you can still think very clearly and you're still aware of what's real and what's not. Then again the most i've ever done at once is 2 hits so maybe at higher doses it's more surreal. Just take 1 or 2 and I'm sure you'll be able to handle it, and you'll probably love it :) have fun!
 
Yes.

Acid's not like you think it is.

You're totally together. You don't see a cockroach and freak out. In fact, I personally become a lot more confident and fearless when I'm on acid.
 
acid can be good fun but i can also be a living hell.i had only triped 1 or 2 times before and i was 15 me n me mates n me sisters mates were heading to the city (about 2 hours away from where i live)and at last miniut i grabed some trips.anyways long story short im in a hotel room by my self fucking freaking out soooo bad super paranoid and accualy comtiplated jumping off the balcony to kill my self to end the trip!!!
i never touched acid again til about a month ago and was the best expirence of my life couldent wipe the smile off my face or stop laughing for 8 hours staight had the most fucked up convos tho haha me n mate figurd out that bono from U@ is a terroist!HA.
And 2 weeks after that i had 1 with a mate but he had to go home hell erly for some reason and left me peaking by my self so i went to my room to watch movies and smoke weed went to my room jumped in bed n started having a few cone when i look up and right above where i put my head in my bed was a huge fucking huntsman ( i fucking hate spiders so much) i jump up put my underwear on n run out of my room to get a thong.
So im walking around the house with just my briefs on and a thong in 1 hand and a can of fly spray in the other when my sister comes out of her room asking me what the fuck i was doing with a thong in my undies told her i was triping n she went back to bed.went back into my room and had a battel with the spider once it was dead the trip got much better and almost spitrual....

so yeah its all about settings the people your around and how you feel that day and also music helps alot have gone deaf for about 30secs on trips scared me but in a good way could only hear muffling

sorry to ramble :p
 
if you are a typically paranoid person I don't recommend it. However, if you are just worried of "seeing things" you are scared of, it's not likely. just make sure you are somewhere comfortable with people you are comfortable being with and you should be fine. Don't dwell on bad things or you will only cause your own bad trip.
 
I would start small, half a tab. If that works out nicely for you which imo it can't possibly not. I find when I'm on acid I love all aspects of nature and maybe if you saw a road on cid you will be able to realise how beautiful all aspect of nature really are. Its a long shot but acid might actually cure your irrational fears.

Just make sure you do it with some good friends that you 100% trust and in a nice peacful environment.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the bliss of psychedelics.
 
LOL im coming down from my second trip...and this question, to me-right now, is like asking "should i have sex?" haahahaha

i dont know much about it, but you can easily do a small dose of LSD and experience it for yourself.

it's magnificent.
 
I saw an earthworm at the beach the first time I tried LSD. Freaked me the fuck out as I thought it was a poisonous millipede or something. We just had to change our spot and it was all good. Felt kinda bad for fuckin' up the worm's house afterwards (we dug a little burrow in the sand to lay in). Who the hell woulda thought there's worms at the beach tho?
 
I don't even know why you're asking if you should do acid, most amazing experience I'd say

If you do it you will be so thankful i promise :)
 
This kind of thread is not allowed sorry.

We cannot make such decisions for you.

You may just be fine, or you may have to deal with your phobia's head on. Who knows if that will happen.
I took acid once in nature and we were staying near a pond with a billion mosquitos, that was hell and I have been kind of touchy for months after that, a little neurotic so to say.

Tripping might let you deal with irrational fears or worsen them. It depends on the course of the trip, if there is someone guiding it, and all that kinds of factors.
 
I haven't done it yet, and I know that if I did it with my friends back home who are all kind of anti drugs I wouldn't be comfortable and probably freak out. That's why I'm saving it for uni, where my friends are more open minded and I don't mind spazzing out in front of them :D
