2c-e --> acid tolerance next day?

[brueright]

Hey all,

Tripped lightly on 2c-e Wednesday night and very lightly yesterday morning. Friend got me acid for my birthday (which is today!) and we're considering dropping within the next hour - would the trip be diminished? And if so, would it be diminished to the extent that it's not worth doing?

I've never tried acid before, but I've done 2c-e a handful of times.

Gotta decide pretty quickly, so that's why I posted this instead of trying to do the research myself. Your help will be appreciated!

There definitely is a cross-tolerance between the two and your trip will be affected; to what extent, I can't really say as it depends on a number of factors such as your dose each of those times with both substances, your specific chemistry, etc.

There's only one way to find out exactly what your trip will be like.

Happy birthday dude.

Thanks so much! I think I'ma go for it. I only had 13ish mg of 2c-e Thurs night and 5ish yesterday morning (it was the last of my supply and I was bored, so I was just like, "might as well"), which doesn't seem unreasonably high. Plus, I figure since it's my first time with L, it'd be better to go not-intense-enough than too intense.

i say don't go for it. you'll have some cross tolerance, and you should want your first LSD trip to be the best it can be.

Happy birthday, I think you would be giving yourself the best present if you wait until your tolerance is gone for the most past. You can celebrate your experience on other days and still make a ritual of it so that it is obvious that that is the day when you make a point out of it.

Have a nice trip.

I've wasted a few doses of acid doing exactly this.. i would wait at least two days after.. and take 1000mg or so of Vitamin C drink an energy drink, eat some food, get some sleep, and then dose..

How did it go? I mean was there a cross tolerance? From your experience..

So, I ended up doing it (you only turn 20 once ), and it was a GREAT experience, although it wasn't very intense. I took three tabs(!), an hour between each of them, and was affected for a total of about 12 hours, although I smoked toward the end, so the last few hours I was mostly just high.

It wasn't at all what I expected! I didn't really get visuals until I smoked, and I wasn't as overly-analytical as I am on 2c-e, but everything just felt soooo pleasurable and great!!! It was sort of what I imagine ecstasy would be like, haha. Everything felt tingly and nice, and I had a lot of energy - my friend and I went outside and watched the clouds for an hour or so, and I did front handsprings and somersaults and stuff. We also watched The Truman Show, which I'd never seen, and although of course it was thought-provoking, it didn't bring me down or anything.

I will keep y'all's advice in mind in the future, though, and try to space out trips by at least two days. This was a great intro to acid; I felt safe and had a blast the whole time, but I think I can handle MOAR INTENSITY next time I try. :D

Also, I've heard that the ideal time to smoke is while coming up, and I've yet to try smoking anytime but the end (I always trip either in the afternoon or alone in the middle of the night, and I only smoke at night with friends). So yeah. Next time!!! :]

edit: It's hard to say how much of a role the cross-tolerance played: based on my experiences both with 2c-e and acid, I think I have a naturally high tolerance for hallucinogens (for a 130 lb female!), which means this is gonna become an expensive habit. >_< It might be because I'm on Zoloft - I tend to skip my dose before I trip, but since it has a long half-life, I don't know how much of a difference that makes.
