Dosing LSD Late Night?

[any major dude]

most of my trips have been mostly at night, seems a bit more comfortable to me since there are generally less people you'll have to deal with if you're walking about, or need to stop by a corner store for some cigs or something.

I've been cautious of using LSD at night as I kinda think that it'll increase the chances of having a bad trip (personally).

That being said, I took lsd late afternoon and walked around my neighborhood and had a great time.

Moving through the streets, the various houses lit up made me feel like I was in a fantasy world and each house was different villages.

Sometimes watching the sunrise while coming down off psyches and entactogens can be a little sketchy. It can be very beautiful, but you can also start getting those "what am I doing with my life awake all alone cracked out on drugs watching the sun rise" vibes. This is more typical with entactogen comedowns though.

Actually the sketchy part I was talkin about was wandering around (what you hope is) your neighborhood in the early hours of the morning.
Watching the sunrise while coming down from a trip is a beautiful thing. Seeing the sunrise after tweaking on meth and not being able to sleep all night, not so much those are the mornings I get the sketchy feeling you're talking about.

That's why these days I'd much rather be wooking out than tweaking

i havent actually read all the posts yet, but i can totally say i love dosing late night.
i was actually about to start a thread somewhat similar to this...
i just ate 2 hits of blotter, and almost 300 mg of some really good (hopefully, its pure white and straight fluffy) molly, which is starting to hit me and thats why i'm so energetic.
but i was gonna say, lately ive been getting my hands on a decent amount of cid, and ive been eating quite a bit(i ate 13 1/2 hits the other night and a couple grams of shrooms and some beans, and the day before i'd eaten 8)
i'm going to stop dosing as much in a little while and focus on getting my shit straight but i have to say i love it.
i love staying up for long periods of time, thinking, exploring my mind, listening to music, you know, just living, and for some reason i feel like the late night trips alone (or at least with everyone sleeping) are some of the best sometimes. you can really search into your soul and come to some amazing realizations.
lsd is truly amazing, anyway, ill leave it at this, i'm eager to finish reading everyone's post lol

i used to do a lot of coke & speed. For a while that nasty amphetamine morning feel tainted some of my late-night to morning trips. Now that its been a few years since my days of dopamine agonist abuse, that "sketchy" feeling has all but disappeared.

also, lol @ "wooking out" & the passedoutwookies.com photos there. Nicely done sirs!

I like the idea of tripping during the night. Mainly because most everyone else is asleep. Privacy. No phone calls, no one showing up at your place, its quite. You shouldn't have any obligations that should be arising in the middle of the night

I'm of the opinion that the earlier in the day you start taking something the better because I pretty much never get a hangover if I get a good night's sleep after something wears off, but I usually lose 1-2 days after a trip if I stay up all night tripping. Also LSD+Sleep Deprivation has caused various degrees of psychosis for me, while LSD alone doesn't seem to have that problem.

but yeah, in some areas cops will "pull you over" if you are out late (uptight residential areas), but not in cities. so you are right about warning him that what is actually a normal thing, is not normal to police somehow.

I fucking hate this. It literally happens every time, unless I'm able to make it to a wooded area in a very timely manner...

the only upside is if you don't have anything, there's nothing to worry about.

^This. I've dosed dozens of times late at night (anywhere from 9:30pm to as late as 3am) and it has never been a problem. I am kind of a night owl anyways, so being up until the early morning hours doesn't bother me. I like the peacefulness of the night and early morning hours. I would advise having some benzos and maybe a few drinks on hand for the end though, because it can get frustrating trying to get some sleep while your mind is still racing.

My first LSD experience was at night and it was great! Most of my experiences happen to be at night when I go to shows........ It just means you'll be up all night. There's really no difference.

Do you ever take acid fairly late at night? Im going to dinner at my parents tonight and am thinking of taking a couple doses when i get home around 9:30 tonight. I have tomorrow off, so thats not much of a concern. Just never started my trip that late at night? Still on the fence as to if I want to do it. What have you experiences been with starting your trip later at night.

Thanks!

I absolutely have taken it late at night. I usually try and dose before 11pm if I do decide to trip, but its not necessarily a rule. Every time I've always had a blast, even re-dosing to extend the experience a tad. As long as I haven't had a really long strenuous day, I always get back that energy to function on through out the night with out any complaint. Also, there is nothing like seeing the sunrise after being bombarded with crazy visuals in the dark. Its nice to break out into the sunshine and allow your eyes to really open.

I decided against it. The L was just burning a whole in my pocket.

The time of day doesn't matter so much. Night helps with the interruption factor, if everyone else is sleeping then you can get more into the experience.

The reason I don't recommend waiting too late is just that it seriously screws up your sleep schedule. Maybe its just me being in my 30s so my body doesn't bounce back like it did when I was younger, but hangovers and after-effects are a greatly diminished if my dosing doesn't screw up my sleep schedule. An occasional wild NYE party or something makes sense but generally sleep deprivation is a bad combo for most drugs.

LSD in particular gives me this feeling like sleep is optional, but then life starts turning into a waking dream and it can start getting difficult to separate thoughts from reality.
