1st time tripping advice please

[dj_esky]

i know i posted another thread about tripping for the first time, but coming closer to the date that i'm actually going to do it, i have had a few more questions i want answered by experienced trippers,

I have experemented with "mdma, mda, pma, dmt, 2c-b, marijuana, cocaine, coca leaf, khat, HBW, LSA, Ketamine, Meth, PCP, nitrous, butane, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, heroin (snorted), valium, oxycodiene, codiene, and holding my breath till i passed out.

would the above list say that i may be able to handle acid?

I take Dexamphetamine 25mg per day for ADHD, also have a bit of an addiction to meth on top off that, Will this possibly create any problems with my first trip?

should i try lsd by myself or should i have someone experienced that i trust with me?

i want to doccument my first trip, what do you think is the best way to do this?

i have been reading that alot of ppl like to smoke weed with their trip, I smoke about a fiddy ($50 worth of weed) per fortnight, would it be okay for me to have a toke while tripping for the first time?

What essential things should i prepare before i intoxicate myself in the experience?

and lastly

Whats the best way to keep LSD in storage? i have read that some people keep it in their fridge, will this extend the shelf life of a trip?

The above list would say that you're self destructive, but personal opinions aside.

You'll be fine with LSD, I would suggest 3+ hits, if it's supposedly strong stick with 3, if it's average try 4 or 5. I don't know how amphetamines interact with LSD, I've never taken them together as I don't really like stimulants, the LSD will keep you awake and speedy on it's own, so you might consider not taking the dexamphetamine that day.

Personally, I enjoy tripping by myself when I'm on higher doses, but if you're prone to do stupid shit when you're on other drugs you may want to have a sober friend around to make sure you don't do something dumb.

If you want to dictate you could bring a tape recorder, but honestly, you should just try to get the most out of your first experience and not worry about trying to dictate it to yourself, it'll take away from the magic of the experience.

Smoking weed is an excellent idea when it comes to tripping, provided you enjoy it (which it sounds like you do). Just stick to the LSD and weed though, don't throw anything else into the mix, at least for your first time.

Drink some fruit juice before you start, that usually makes me feel good when I'm tripping, it's also good to have some more with you for during the trip. Gather all of your favorite music together as you'll definitely be wanting it. If you play an instrument, try to have it in tune and nearby. If you want to go anywhere that's not within walking distance MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DESIGNATED DRIVER! I can't stress that enough. People do make successful drives whilst tripping, but it's in no means safe. Try to spend at least part of the trip out in the woods, and watch the sunset. Also, make sure to spend part of the trip with your eyes closed whilst listening to music, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Shpongle, and many others are great for tripping.

Wrap your hits in tinfoil, put that in a ziplock, stick that in a book, put the book on the shelf. LSD will last a loooooong time this way.

Lolled at 'holding my breath till i passed out'
Set and setting are everything. Make sure you're in a familiar environment, preferably home cos that's where the heart is, with nothing that might shock you or piss you off, and make sure you do it at a time that suits you. Nothing worse than having sober people suddenly rock up and be like 'omg u did cid ur gonna go crazy' or some shit. Also, try and avoid situations that might provoke doubt or second thoughts about taking it, although that's pretty hard. Be sure you're gonna have a great time.
You got a fair decent list there, and a few other psychedelic substances as well. Depending on your reactions to psyches, I'd say from your previous use you're fairly experienced with alternative levels of conscience, so that's a plus.
Don't know about the Dex, but Lithium in particular doesn't agree with LSD, but you don't take that...
Wait till the next day and write it all down, you probably won't sleep for a while and just stay up for ages thinking, try and sort through what makes sense and what really doesn't before you go writing down a trip report that mostly includes unfathomable speculations that are not far short of unreadable to the sobre eye, cos I've seen a few trip reports that sound like that.
If you know someone who knows what he/she's doing with acid, and you trust them enough to guide you through if you start to get anxious, definitely have them there. As stupid as it sounds, it helps a lot for someone to reassure you you're only tripping and it'll eventually end.
Save the weed for the comedown on your first time, if you tend to get paranoid from it, it most likely won't help you keep a good state of mind. That said, I've noticed a lot of people enjoy smoking up while tripping balls, so Idk, your call...
Just a few things I've picked up from this awesome forum, hope it helps.

As jsnake mentioned, environment is key. You want to be in a place you feel most comfortable surrounded by good people. Music is also important. Make a large playlist of songs you love beforehand and have it at the ready.

Although I do agree that with current lsd dosing standards 3+ hits could be needed to provide the desired intensity/effect, I would never recommend an inexperienced user ingest that amount simply relying on the fact that somone told you the doses were weak. I would suggest taking one hit until effected and using additional hits if comfortable. I've personally had legitimate lsd that would have been overwhelming had i downed three hits initially. Many preventable damaging experiences have resulted from this type of use.

My first dose was with 3 hits of rather strong blotter. Personally I couldn't have been more happy with the dose, though I'd previously had a lot of experience with mushrooms. My problem with mushrooms was that it never seemed to provide the breakthrough I was seeking, but that first time with LSD provided just what I was looking for: amazing visuals and a perspective changing plunge into the collective consciousness. Since then, I've done single hits of blotter considered strong by today's standards and have been sorely disappointed. Since then, I've taken to dropping 3 hits minimum and 3.5g of shrooms minimum, though I generally prefer 5g+. I'm not at all saying that this will be everyone's preference, but I certainly think that everyone's first LSD experience should yield a breakthrough experience, so they can experience the true unfiltered reality of things. :D

Whatever you decide dj, I hope you enjoy and come back a more opened person! :D

I love smoking on acid but it's not for everyone. It can serve to intensify the trip, but for me it is just habit. It's just somethin' to do when you're enjoying the experience. Let the acid hit first before you get super high and then can't turn back.

I usually smoke on the come up (and maybe have a beer) to ease my mind. Last time I tripped was the first time I didn't smoke at all until AFTER the peak and had started to come down, and it was a very different but rewarding experience.

It allowed me to see that weed does cloud the clear-headedness of acid. It makes the visuals more intense, but I can see how it would confuse/scare some people. If you smoke every day though it probably won't be anything new for you.

If you've done DMT, then you can definitely handle a few hits of acid.

Ya man it looks like you have done a laundry list of psychoactive chemicals, mda dmt ketamine are way different than acid though, if you were on meth with those ones you would probably have quite the night (dmt + meth sounds facking intense), LSD + meth I've seen make people batshit crazy for the night, possibly have to be restrained, or think theyre godmode/jesus and go around telling everyone - and look like theyre fried/keep tripping for days into the meth comedown. It might have something to do with LSD's affinity for dopamine but i dont know. Towards that point they really start to fall apart.. idk man its your choice I would personally try it because I love eating that stuff so I would recommend it to anyone. As I said though lay down the pookie for the trip, it'll be way more euphoric ripping it afterwards anyway when you have that good LSD afterglow.

5g+ of shrooms all at once, or spread over a few hours?

I think if I ate 5g of the shrooms I grow, I'd probably need a Xanax or two.



OP: go for it, but be mentally prepared and in a positive setting.
