I'm going to a 4 day electronic music festival this month and it's basically in the middle of the forest. I will be getting there at around 10am and i was planning on dropping acid for the first time right when i arrive with my experienced tripper friend, and explore the forest for several hours until the music starts. I'm a daily smoker and I've had only one anxiety-type experience on bud and I easily made it through, and I've read numerous times that the anxiety from marijuana can a lot of times be much worse than LSD (at low to medium doses at least). I've rolled once and done salvia once with only mild visuals so I really don't have an idea for what tripping is like and I also read that doing LSD at a festival for the first time is a terrible idea, but I was thinking since this one is in a forest and there is lots of nature-type scenery to explore it would not be the same setting as a normal music festival. Does anybody think this is a bad idea for a first trip? I've extensively researched acid so I at least think I have an idea of what to expect but I'm not 100%. Also since this is gonna be a 4 day festival does anyone have suggestions of what order of days i should take different substances? For example should I only take mdma once, should I take acid the first day or a different day, stuff like that. Any input is much appreciated and also I might be able to do shrooms before I go, so that could give me a better idea of what to expect as well.

First time LSD good setting?

Well like I said there are plenty of areas there that will be secluded...there are 5 stages surrounding a pretty dense forest that you are free to walk through...plus if things start to go bad I can go back to my tent which would be private. If you still don't think it's a good idea, do you think it would be suitable to do if I get to try shrooms before I go to the festival so I at least would have an idea of what to expect?

If you have a place you can easily get to, and chill out without unfamiliar people around, you should be ok. But that can be hard to find/get to at a festival, during an intense acid trip. I think trying shrooms before hand might help you, by getting a feel for mind frame of tripping.
I believe its against the rules, to ask/suggest when and what drugs to take.

LSD makes people really intense man. You can sense and feel every single emotion and vibe going around, which can be overwhelming even with 2 or 3 people in the room. At a festival I can't even imagine.
My first time doing LSD was in the middle of the night at the beach with my girlfriend. I'll never forget that trip, it changed my life.

Yeah ive read about the emotion sensing thing, but i feel like its a good time cause im gonna just be just walking around the forest before the crowds come with my friend (who used to be my best friend havnt seen him in person in 3 years) so it should be a good way to reconnect by both dosing. Hes also very experienced so its not gonna be the blind leading the blind, but i thought it would be sick to have our first day seeing eachother again be trippin on acid you know? But if u dont think its a good idea maybe ill just roll and smoke idk...really wanted to try a psyche but i guess ill have to wait till after if it seems to sketchy
Oh sorry didnt know that, but i guess i could say for festivals in general, what would u personally do...like i read for instance one person said at a 3 day festival he had day 1 psychedelic, day 2 rolling, and day 3 just alcohol and bud...but idk

hey man you're gonna do what you wanna do. sometimes those balls deep trips are the best ones. lsd is pretty lucid so as long as you don't overdo it and yo have a good tripping partner & head on your shoulders you'll most likely have a great time. LSD is wonderful.
alright thanks definitely gonna consider doin it, most likely will. and by lucid do u mean although your tripping you can still tell whats real? cause ive heard the opposite

yeah you can tell whats real. the only drug ive taken that make it so i cant discern between reality and hallucination is diphenhydramine. as in benadryl. lol.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how 'guidable' and 'controllable' and acid trip is. If you've got the mental capacity.
although after the trip you may question what is 'real' in an inception sense.

A four day camping festival is completely different to a day long music festival where you are shoulder to shoulder deep in a crowded mosh pit all trip. If you have a safe camp site to retire to and chill out then you will have no problem. My best advise is to set up camp and get your shit in order before you drop. Nothing worse than having to scramble through your belongings searching for a torch or your wallet while tripping balls.
It doesn't really matter what order or when you do different chemicals, but personally I prefer to to take acid when I am rested and relaxed (the old set and setting thing). If you are tired and strung out on day 3, wishing you could have a proper shower etc, then your mind set might not be in the best place. The biggest thing to over come will be a 2 day old porta loo while you are peaking.

Just have an experienced tripper with you and i couldn't see it being a problem. I know of plenty of people who've had their first experience at a music festival and have had a great time. I've had friends who've took some of their highest doses of psychedelic drugs at festivals and have had a great time. Just make sure your camp site is set up and has plenty of things to do/is a comfortable environment, incase you feel you need to get away from people. Your camp site will be your home, so make it feel like your home. If you start having a difficult experience your camp site will become crucial for getting yourself out of it. Just be yourself and let the psychedelic be your guide. Just let go, and let yourself go for a ride. You'll be in for a good time if you keep those things in mind and are in a good mind set, but how couldn't you be having a blast if your are at a music festival.
Happy tripping. Also, check out our beginner FAQ for some great information. It is a link below :D

I imagine it to be a wilder rollercoaster at a music festival, more nice vibes but more social awkwardness and stuff as well. And if you feel shitty at some point there is much less control over where you can go to relax. Personally I would only try it in a peaceful environment for your first time. Then after that, there can always be a 'first time at a festival' first time - which is a bit different game.
No one here should tell you whether to do it or not. I think you run both 'positive risks' and negative risks, it's like raising the stakes IMO. I definitely had difficult trips at festivals even though they were not my first time at all.
One big factor is whether you are a very social person or not. If you are then maybe having the option of reclusion is not really that important.

I will add, different size festivals make a big difference. Bonnaroo wouldn't be the ideal setting as the crowd is to diverse as well as huge. There also is a huge security force present that would make people feel a bit anxious. If we are talking about say a smaller one like summer camp, the mood is a lot different. Just make sure you go through the potential environmental hazards and put some ideas in your head to avoid having them become an issue. Also, don't go over board on the dose. A lighter dose can seem more intense in a crowded situation, or an unfamiliar one. Your better off undershooting than overshooting.
yeah well this is electric forest so i think its gonna be pretty big in size...either way i still have my camp area thats not crowded in case things go bad
and idk if this is true but i read somewhere that said music festivals are starting to get high doses spread around alot like 250+ micrograms per hit...that sounds like a bit much but if its true and i got one of those i'd be done haha

I'd take the LSD at the festival. Maybe take some benzos in case you run into trouble and want to abort the trip? I've never done that at all but I've read about people on bluelight doing that. Also make sure you do have a place to chill out in case things get weird or you start to have trouble.
I have no clue about the ug of doses but keep in mind that some of that's going to be marketing talk like they'll all say it's strong, double dipped, or whatever but you won't know if it is or not until you take it and drugs in varying doses effect everyone differently.
If you think that it's a high dose and other people have taken the same acid and tripped very hard, just take half of the dose.
No matter what the dose is just go with the drug and don't try to fight it or anything and just learn to relax and let go.
If you have issues with depression, anxiety, or panic and are feeling that way don't trip since it will not be a good thing to experience that while tripping.
With other drugs why not take some mushrooms either 1.5g-3.5g too one of the days? Or just smoke herb too either on its own or while tripping? I was into other drugs like prescription opiates/amphetamines and booze (not all combined or at the same time) and those can be fun but I don't take opiates or any stimulants like Dexedrine now, and I don't like getting very drunk while camping. I didn't really use any other drugs besides those and LSD and mushrooms, and sometimes some nitrous. I've never taken MDMA/MDA or anything like it, or any research chems.
Is there any way you can take the acid before the festival with someone experienced?
