Acid at home

Make a point of spending some time in the bathroom. With the fan on it gets crazy with auditory hallucinations plus every time I have ever visited the bathroom on tryptamines the walls fall in on me.

Yeah - do watch out for those walls: My bathroom walls are pretty unstable when I've had tryptamines. Check yourself out in the mirror, too haha. I saw my face for the "first time" (and I confess, I had no idea I was reptilian)! =D
 
Riding a bike is awsome. The motion of everything really brings out some awsome feeling. Also its a good way to channel your energy.

Listening to the grateful dead, phish, or the breakfast do wonder for me as well.

Having someone around can go either way, sometimes im so mind fucked i cant talk and it makes it very awkard. Other times were all laughing so hard we cant breathe for 8 hours.

Thanks for the good suggestions.

Most important thing for me is to have the right music playing. Choose the music carefully before you eat the acid. I recommend, John Martyn, Grateful Dead (Live/Dead album in particular), God is an Astronaut (All is violent, All is bright), Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (I listen to this tune everytime I trip - absolutely essential), The Beatles.

I have a question... I've noticed my visuals increase/become more obvious (after they have started wearing off) when I put on certain tunes. Is this just working as a sort of placebo or can music actually create visuals?

YES, me and my circle of psychonaut friends make a point to always listen to this track. a local radio station plays it at midnight every saturday and getting to hear it played then is actually a factor when deciding a date for a trip. this song always melts my brain away.
but on topic i actually love surfing the web and learning new things, particularly history or psychology stuff. and of course, gotta have the music going throughout!
 
if you are able, i STRONGLY, STRONGLY suggest playing music. it is the most gratifying, intense experience on just about any psychedelic - and acid (aside from a very lucky/serendipitous MDA trip) makes music sound better than any other drug to me
 
Have any parks with beautiful scenery/forests near you? Grab your iPod, headphones strapped in and walk around thinking grandiose thoughts and revelations to your favorite music. Once you find a nice secluded spot sit, close your eyes, meditate, and the rest is history.

completely agree with this guy.

watching anything on a tv/computer whatever on any kind of psychedelic is completely stupid and is just so hard to concentrate on it's like it's trying to make you sober.

I agree. But there are few exceptions imo.

Try watching something with natural beauty or interesting patterns in nature.

Something like this

It's truely amazing when you're tripping.

Anything where you have to focus on a storyline doesn't work... for me anyway. Except maybe the film Waking Life. That can get you thinking quite deeply, it's good for the backend of a trip.

I disagree, an 2c compound for example is a long duration trip. You have plenty of time to do a variety of things if you wish to. Watching movies on psychedelics - especially the ones with a more introspective side can be very rewarding, you can come away with new perceptions/thoughts/feelings or else a great sense of happiness if you watched a good fun movie. I find after taking acid a fair few times I enjoy trying things that I would normally do sober but on acid, it's pretty fun and believe me doesn't make you sober.

^ YEA! The new iTunes visualizer is RAD. Its based on a version a program called "Magnetosphere".

> Speaking of Apple products, I do LOVE iTunes. Great all-around media handler, and their standard Music Visualizer, starting with Version 9 I think, based on a genius Particle System implementation called "Magnetosphere" is incredible. I could play music and stare at that for hours. Sometimes I get an impulse upon hearing a new piece of music "Gee I wonder what iTumes/Magnetosphere will do with THIS?" and am compelled to check it out.
>
> Here's a page with some stills and a few of the available keyboard shortcuts... a few more below
> http://www.everythingitunes.com/os/windows/2008-01-01/magnetosphere-visualiser/

More shortcuts (in addition to those at above site):

There are four hidden commands that aren’t shown in the menu. Pressing ‘+’ or ‘-‘ on your numerical keypad will increase or decrease the SENSITIVITY of the particles.

The ‘A’ and ‘S’ keys allow you to add or subtract the NUMBER of particles from the visualizer.


>
> PLUS: Seems Apple did their own Borg-ification of Magnetosphere, and alot of people prefer the original, which you can still find to download and install into iTunes for either Mac or Windows here - http://gizmodo.com/5048237/how-to-get-the-real-magnetosphere-visualizer-in-itunes Click the "slow download" choice at the Rapidshare page (unless you subscribe to that of course) and after a little waiting it will give you a download link.
>
> The original IS different enough that it is worth checking out, especially if you are into visual effects, animation, etc. It installs into iTunes under "Visualizers" as "Magnetosphere" and you can still pick the Apple version, still listed as just "Visualizer" I believe.
>
> I just discovered this recently, and actually I might like it better... more about MANY sparkles (looking at times like an immense tripped-out swarm of alien fireflies!), less about several big planets...and also it switches up more often and seems MUCH more delicately responsive to the music.
>
> Actually they both have quite a different "feel" and are both immensely cool and amazing. Apple's feels more "epic", but somewhat ponderous and less responsive... the original more delicate, fleet-footed and "Fairy-like."
