Hey guys,

Well ill start of by saying that i have never had acid before and i am planning to trip with a few close friends new years.

We were thinking of going into southbank for the fireworks ect..

But i was wondering if that would be a bad idea as a first time tripper i am worried i wont be able to handle such an intense environment, even though i am only taking half a hit i still think that it would be better if we stay home in a familliar environment...

So if you guys could give me any adivce it would be much appreciated :)

Cheers, Pete
 
From personal experience, I think being amongst thousands of people on my first trip would be a bad idea. I'd stay at home or go camping. Best of fun ;D
 
Also fireworks on acid seems cool but imo it isn't. I had a whole bag of fireworks last year and decided to let them off with a few mates down at the local park while peaking on 2 hits and it fucking scared the shit out of me haha.

I ran back to the house thinking there were cop's coming after me because i could hear sirens in the distance - it was just a horrible experience.
 
Could go either way. Doubt you'll "freak out" amongst so many people but not sure it would be entirely enjoyable.

First time I tripped I laughed so fucking hard and lost my shit inside my head (in a good way) a few times over 5-10min periods. Was great as I was just at home. Outside with people may have potentiated it a bit.

In short, I'd suggest most people would be fine, but not all. Still wouldn't consider it ideal.
 
You will still have moments of confusion and any other night you could just find a quiet corner of some bar or club to regain your composure, but New Years is going to be crowded and a shit fight even when sober. Having said that I would think 1/2 to be a sensible dose, it just comes more down to personal experience. I just wouldn't want to be stuck 10 deep in a crowd with any wave of anxiety starting to build.

I'm sure that I'm not alone in saying plenty of us here have consumed far more on a first date with Lucy and made it out just fine.
 
what tabs are you taking? half a hit of cherubs or duckies would still be very strong for your first time.

If you and your friends are mature and understand the effects and what to expect from the experience then a small dose shouldn't be hassle imo.

Also you would want to organise transport ahead of time, the last thing you want is to be stuck on a train or bus with a bunch of drunk cunts killing your vibe.

Honestly dude this is a bad idea, set and setting are important consideration with any trip, let alone your very first. You are hardly in a comfortable environment, being in such a crowded and loud place will be total sensory overload for you I can guarantee, not to mention police presence in the CBD, violent douchebags etc. the list of possibilities of what could go wrong are endless.

Trips in public should only be attempted by experienced trippers and even then common sense and good judgement have to be exercised cause there is no guarantee someone wont flip just because they have done it a million times before.

I would get some trips under your belt before even conidering a public event half as big as NYE on psychedelics. If I were you I would stick to your staples, whatever they may be, alcohol and amphetamines are good options for social situations IME.

This is the correct math. IMO you will potentially ruin your new years. Try it another time an go camping and experience the peaceful great outdoors.
 
I'll chime in and agree with the posts above; some great advice so far. In my opinion you don't really want to be in that kind of environment for your first trip. Save it for a special occasion when you're with a small group of close friends or your partner and will get the most out of the experience. As busty and bergle said 1/2 a tab won't get you into too much trouble... however if you don't know what to expect from LSD then you're putting yourself in an unnecessarily stressful setting. Are you experienced with other hallucinogens?

If you decide to have some anyway then try to have one sober person with you just in case.

Welcome to Bluelight by the way :)
 
Thanks everyone for your replies,

as to the acid im taking im reallly not sure at this point because my friend is meeting up with us new years and he his the one scoring it so its anyones guess at the moment,

I have done allot of research for when this point in time arose, and i fully understand what to expect from the trip, but the only thing that is bothering me is not knowing if i will be able to stay in control or not.

i do have limited experience with other hallucinogens, i have smoked pot everyday for almost a year now, but i doubt one would compare the two as being smililar as acid is a much more powerful drug.

Cheers Pete

Im what u could call an experienced tripper with hundreds of trips behind me in the past. Id have to say that set and setting is very important especially if its ur 1st trip. I would stay indoors as crowds irritate me and the restrictions it can cause example not being able to move or go where u want if there is a big crowd it can be very annoying. I suggest familiarize urself with it in a comfortable setting. Make sure there will be no uninvited guests, turn off fone, have plenty of fluids like water and juice and lots of fruit on the comedown. Enjoy ur trip, acid is such a fun and wonderful drug but be careful because if u abuse it, it will come back and bite u in the ass. Hope u have a good NYE:)
 
Alright bud, I was going to post this yesterday, but figured assumptions are better left out.

You obviously have no intention of taking anything anyone here says - and want people to tell you to do LSD in a big crowd of drunk idiots - and if this is the case, why bother asking for advice?

I took my first acid tab at Bass Station carpark, in about 2004 - I was 17. This place, which whilst great for being on drugs in - was horrible to trip in. Despite everyone being wasted.

I haven't done psychs other than DMT and 2C-B/E in the past 4 years (since i was 19) just because of a mushroom trip that went a little off center - and that was at a house, with people i trust, and not too many of them.

Trips can go all over the shop, and no amount of research will save you when you start thinking negatively about the trip. It's worth it to note, drugs like LSD last wayyyy too fucking long imho. This is also horrible for being in a place like melb cbd.

Maybe I should tell you a story of a friend who wigged out in the city...

Well ok. A mate of mine, back when i was a wee lad - decided it'd be a good idea to hit the clubs and drop acid. Long story short, when he began having a bad trip, asking questions about why randoms were taking a piss on the wall in the alleyway and why humans existed and walking around in circles, I got fucking scared - sure he came back to reality - THE NEXT DAY. Dealing with someone in this state for 8-10hrs is a fucking chore, and not really fair on anyone involved.

If you want to get used to the psychedelic headspace - do it first at home with a few close friends, than secondly, to familiarize yourself with groups of people and LSD, probably a doof where everyone is tripping would be a good place to start - certainly not Melbourne CBD on new years.
 
You could always drop mid afternoon at home, allow yourself to get used to it's effects, get the past the crazy fucked up madness (around the 4-5 hr mark) then head out into public with a nice afterglow present and a few more wits than you would otherwise have if you are in the CBD coming up. MrI may lament the long journey of lsd but sometimes it can be used to your advantage.
 
At it's peak, the effects of LSD can cause confusion, disorientation and quite often lead a person to misinterpret other people's words or expressions. In the worst case, these can lead to anxiety or paranoia that loops back on itself. You really don't want your first trip to go badly.

If you insist on doing this, starting light is a good idea, as is being around friends who have some experience with LSD. Even though Southbank will be very, very crowded tomorrow night, try and find areas with at least a little personal space, organise a meeting place there with your friends in case you lose each other. Be prepared for your phone to be useless most of the night.

All the best, have a good time. :)
 
My first acid trip was on two drops of liquid, and we headed into Melbourne CBd for new years celebrations surrrounded By 500,000 people. No problems at all. I don't understand why people get so anxious on it, just learn to chill the crap out instead of being a paranoid android. You know that it's what 'they' want you to feel.
 
Hey guys, thanks a bunch for all the posts you have definatley persuaded me to choose a different environment for my first time,

I have been talking to my friends and they all agree that it is a bad idea going into southbank while on acid so we have decided to go to southbank sober then come back and trip in the comfort of my friends house.

Again thanks everyone for your input, who knows you all may have just saved my life.

Cheers, Pete

Have a good NYE and stay safe
