Acid vs. reality?

[cassetoi]

hey guys, i'm new here and new to psychedelics as well. i've been intrigued for a long time but just recently i've decided that i'm ready to try acid. i'm gonna take 1 hit with 3 of my friends who have had plenty of experience with tripping and all sorts of drugs.

my experience with drugs is: weed (fairly often), ecstasy and molly (LOVE it), various pharmies, and nitrous.

i occasionally experience some anxiety/paranoia/discomfort when i smoke, and one time i had a really bad "trip" from weed around when i first started smoking and hit some strong sour deez... my thoughts and world got caught in a loop, life felt like a video game, thought i was gonna die, i also didn't recognize my friends for about 10 minutes... weird shit, and from just weed too.

i was wondering how acid compares to weed and ecstasy in the sense of how disoriented (negatively) you feel. when i'm rolling i feel grounded and have mental clarity and can enjoy the ride, whereas with weed, i sometimes get confused, anxious, and disoriented.

the only other concern i have is how i'm going to feel days and weeks after. a part of me is worried that i'll be spaced out and feeling detached from reality, or that reality will never be the same, like i'll never come back to the real world 100%...

Acis on a low dose usually doesn't cause any negative effects in people. I'd start witha low dose. It is most likely to be euphoric and very very interesting. Not a certainty, because everyone is different and some people are affected more, but if everyone was too worried to even try a small dose, then we wouldn't even know what this drug did.

I personally find weed causes more social anxiety and paranoia than LSD. In terms of after-effects, you should expect to feel a very warm and feel-good afterglow until you're back to normal, if you take this advice and start on a low dose. By low dose I mean a single tab, although you cannot tell the potency of a tab, it's the best you can go on. Perhaps you can get someone more experienced to try one first and approxamate the potency.

Although the most intense euphoria I've experienced was on my first MDMA use, the feeling I get from LSD is always deeper and more profound. This may not make sense if you've only taken MDMA, but when you have your first acid experience you will understand, I believe.

As always, trip safely, make sure you're in a good frame of mind and have a sitter on hand, preferably an experienced tripper.

Just start low and be careful.

If anything psychedelics put you in better touch with "reality" (when used properly/with foresight).

Cannabis is a very powerful drug at high doses - your experiences are fairly common - does not mean you are overly prone to anxiety or bad trips.

Psychedelics just show you a different facet of 'reality', if they alter your view of reality it is only because they have shown you more of it.
