Is tripping anything like rolling?

I tried E a few times before I tried acid. For me, I found some similarities. Sensations were heightened, music was wonderful, food was wonderful, touch and sex were wonderful. On only 1 dose of blotter acid I didn't have a lot of head trip, just a slight bit of disorientation, and I didn't get any visuals. Things were very interesting to look at but did not "morph" or ripple. So yes I found it similar in some ways, and I liked acid a lot better. On a higher dose of acid the trip would be substantially different and not much like rolling.
 
Nothing like it.
Nothing at all...Its hard to describe what tripping is like...
I guess in a word I would describe it as...Surreal? Idk man I can't really explain how its different, you kinda have to experience it to understand it.

But I can say this, if you're scared to try it, don't.
Tripping is a lot more sensitive to your mindset than rolling is.
 
Yea naw. I tried cid before i tried rollin tho...also tried shrooms before that so:..

I agree with this 100%

I have never had a bad experience rolling but tripping is really dependent on your mindset. With tripping its also alot easier to get into irrational thought patterns and possibly panic. Honestly I don't think any psychedelic can really be compared to MDMA in terms of euphoria, with psychedelics I feel euphoria conditionally based on a revelation or change in thought patterns, its sort of conditional euphoria and comes in waves. With MDMA for me its never been like that, on good molly I feel pure, unconditional euphoria from come up to come down and no bumpy ride like psychedelics. TL:DR I wouldn't say rolling is anymore like tripping then getting really stoned.
 
Definitely not. The fact that you are experiencing a different mindset is the only real similarity.
Its difficult to describe tripping to someone, just like its difficult to describe what its like to be high.

Read some trip reports on here and Erowid to get a sense of what the chemical your interested in is like. But keep in mind that each person's experience is dependent upon your state of mind going in and your surroundings.

Educating yourself should help to lessen the fear and get you ready. Negative thoughts though generally lead to bad trips from my experience.
 
pr0d1gy made a good comparison of tripping and rolling.

While there are some similarities in terms of euphoria and entactogenesis (understanding yourself, acceptance of your own weaknesses, etc), MDMA is a lot more user friendly than most psychedelics. While MDMA is still to some degree dependent on set and setting, but much less so than psychedelics.

It's very easy to get along with strangers on MDMA, while on psychedelics people tend to prefer to be around close friends in much more controlled environments.

I'd say you'd have to be pretty experienced with both MDMA and psychedelics to appreciate the similarities between the two. The first few times you try acid or shrooms, chances are it will feel completely different from MDMA.
 
MDMA is like being sat in the front seat of a roller coaster and being blasted around for a few hours. On rails, more or less guaranteed what's going to happen, where it's going to go, and when it's going to end.

Psychs are being sat in the cockpit of a jet fighter. You have the potential to make the roller coaster seem lame, however you can crash and burn if you don't do things right!! You're free with this one.
 
Rolling is like playing skate3 on your xbox. its always fun


tripping is like actually skating and hitting some fat ten stair handrails. Its either way fun or it can hurt


EDIT: yes it's a skateboard metaphor, what of it
 
Not even a little bit. Mdma is very euphoric and A LOT more predictable then any kind of pcychedelic. IMO it is almost impossible to feel bad on a reasonably sized dose of mdma. With tripping you have no idea what the fucks gonna happen. Everything changes, you get intense visuals I cant even try to descirbe it. If I take enough acid I totally forget who I am and dont remember what the fuck I was doing for 3 hours at the peak. There is no guarenteed euphoria like with mdma its a lot more random as to what you will experience, definetly not for someone who is "kinda scared to trip", you wanna be fully commited or else youll probably have a bad time.
 
MDMA is like a Mars bar, fun, enjoyable and chocolaty.

Tripping is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gona get
 
I've noticed that low dose acid certainly has a serotonin feeling on the brain, probably because LSD fits onto serotonin receptors, causing excess serotonin to be circulating around. This gives you a slight buzz that I compare to the come-up buzz of MDMA.

I've only found it on low doses of acid though, like 1 hit or less. Most of the time, the body high overpowers the brain high.
 
nothing alike, heightened senses with both but other then that..molly is pure happiness and acid usually will make you pretty happy + a pretty good mindfuck lol
 
It depends on the dose. Sensations will be heightened similarly, but not like the sight.. I took about 6 grams of shrioms my first time and IMO it is nothing like rolling. There's a completely different mind set, you're not really connected to the world/yourself/others like when you're on E. It's different for sure...that's just how I feel.
Just make sure you're in a really cool, chill environment with people you TRUST. Hands down for a trip, the set and setting is evverrrything! Don't force yourself to do it even if you have the slightest bit of doubt, you might be risking a bad trip and those are scary :( also, be prepared for a long high.

Well that sucks because I hate roller coasters. I really want to try tripping though since I have a great mindset at the moment.
 
MDMA blasts your happy chemicals for you, basically giving you the best experience. You don't have to do shit besides get past the come up. Tripping can give you a very nice experience, but you really have to push for it. Sometimes your kind of struggling, and sometimes you have a bad thought and that sticks with you and brings on more negative thoughts turning things very bad and scary. Nothing. A. like.
 
I'm an old hippie who has a lot of experience with said drugs in this thread. I'll give you my opinion...I don't claim it to be fact..."It's just, like, my opinion man." (points for a Big Labowski reference?)

In short, they are nothing alike.

But....that doesn't mean they don't get along well together or have some innate similarities. In my mind being alike and having similarities are not the same thing (i.e. you wouldn't use either for a substitute for either). I thoroughly enjoy them both separately and sometimes together.

They are both great fun at concerts. Although, I wouldn't recommend tripping at a concert unless you have a few good, hard, weird tripping experiences under your belt.

MDMA is a guaranteed good time. LSD is that way for me, but not everyone. I have eaten from a half hit all the way up to a ten strip and never had a "freak out." But I have seen many people have horrible freak outs and it ain't pretty. I've even babysat my fair share of freaked out kidz with headfulls of acid. No one who has family history of mental issues should really do LSD.

LSD is definitely more for your thinking person, MDMA is just pure fun. LSD can turn on you and make you frighteningly introverted. You have to be comfortable with what you might find. Some of my favorite trips was where I spent hours by myself just thinking.

If you are looking for a more intimate time with your guy or gal for a night of sex the great news is they both are good for that. HOWEVER, LSD is in my opinion better to fuck all night on for the guys because you can actually maintain an erection and finish. Both of those get next to impossible when you're rollin'. It also should be said that it likely won't matter in the least to you or your partner if you can't finish or stay hard all night while rollin' because you will most likely be feelin' too good to care.

LSD will likely get weird on you at some point...but that's sort of the fun of it. Bottom line....LSD is not for everyone, do research, know what you are doing, know your source, and spend your first few trips somewhere with very trusted and experienced people in a controlled environment.
D.A.R.E to think for yourself.
 
Though I've never "tripped", I can certainly say I've had negative/odd experiences on pure MDMA. I think the common misconception is that MDMA is always a sure route to joy/bliss. If you read some trip reports, you'll see many accounts of people trying confirmed MDMA and having difficult experiences (and Erowid actually calls this section "difficult experiences")

My friends who have psychedelic experience who try MDMA for the first time have often compared it some psychedelic they've tried- I've heard mescaline, 2c-i, 2c-b, and LSD. There are some similarities for sure, as they both have an affect on serotonin (I believe LSD mimics serotonin and MDMA releases it).
