Could I do acid at a party?

I usually do mdma at parties/raves but I want to go to them more than once a month (as it is, I'm usually at one sober and one on mdma every month).

I tried going to psytrance parties on 2c-e and 2c-i. I enjoy 2c-e at home but I had panic/anxiety attacks at the party. I just couldn't enjoy myself. There was just so much going on and I could handle it. And I was in tears for most of the time.

I do have anxiety problems but I was fine on 2c-e when I was at home just with my boyfriend. It was pretty fun actually (not 2c-i though, I get nauseous on it, it isn't for me). Oh and I tried mushrooms twice (just at home with my bf) and had two bad trips.

I tried acid last week (a low dose) and we (bf and I) were at the park all day. It was great. I didn't have any head/anxiety problems like I have with anything else. It went well.

My bf doesn't want me to do it at a party because he thinks I will get all freaked out like I did on 2c-e and 2c-i. It seemed different though. I don't think I would get as scared and anxious on acid.

Basically I'm wondering this:
Does anyone else get anxious like me? If so, are you fine on certain psychedelics? What do you find best at parties?
Do people usually get anxious/scared with acid?
Would you recommend I try it out at a party?

Or just any experience or suggestions in general.

I do trust my bf and he's pretty experienced with psychedelics but I think I might be okay with it ... I'm not sure though. I don't want to have to leave early again because I get panic attacks.
 
Bring a drug from the benzodiazapine class just to be on the safe side. I often have one on hand for situations like these.

Keep in mind anxiety/panic can happen at any time and for any reason, regardless of the class of psychedelic. With that said, LSD seems to me one of the more forgiving of the psychs, for me as well as quite a few others. One of the few "bad" trips I've had to endure was on a high dose of 2ce, although this wasn't in a public setting per se, just with another person with whom I wasn't properly acquainted/didn't necessarily like.

I am very acquainted and comfortable with most of the people at the party (I attend them once or twice a month and hang out with a few of them outside of parties). I don't have any benzos and I don't think my bf does either. I got out of my two mushroom trips by taking sleeping pills and I just went to sleep and woke up and everything was better.

What do you mean by being one of the more forgiving?
 
probably not a good idea unless everyone there is tripping.

tripping around non trippers tends to get very awkward/uncomfortable very fast
 
^ I agree with the whole tripping around non trippers getting awkward. For me all it takes is one weird look or someone saying something really dumb and stupid to set me off on a downward spiral.....I suggest if you do try it and something goes bad just make sure you have a place where you can gather your thoughts like an empty room or just go outside. Usually the awkwardness subsides in 20 mins or less and then I just laugh uncontrollably at what I was just fearful of. Oh and if the party goers consist of people that like to get in your face and try to make you "trip out" because your tripping and they aren't.....i dont suggest taking hallucinogens at all around them, that pisses me off SOOOO much when im grovin' in a nice trip and some one thinks they are funny and trys to "trip me out", SO DAMN IMMATURE .
 
i dont know if you can.

i can. but we are different people and different places.

low dose trips can be quite manageable socially
 
About a third of the people there are tripping. Most on mushrooms but some on acid too. And probably some people on 2c-e and 2c-i. I guarantee that no one will be getting in my face or making me have a bad trip. It is the nicest group of people ever. Oh, and the other two thirds are on mdma. My bf and one of our friends will for sure be on acid. So I kind of want to join them! Our other friend (there are four of us who go to these things together) probably won't be on acid but she has before. She might do mushrooms or mdma, not sure. But I know she won't do anything that would make me have a bad trip because she's kind of awesome (and when she was having a bad time on acid, I helped her out and stayed with her and comforted her and stuff until things got better for her).

I dunno :s

I could try the low dose again but my bf still doesn't want me to :p
 
Maybe have an 'exit strategy' planned beforehand in case things get too intense for you.. just exploring on acid can be just as fun as being at a party, so if the party gets uncomfortable you could always leave and find something else to do for your trip. If you have a different setting and way to get there planned before the trip it should be no problem. Maybe ask your boyfriend if he wouldn't mind leaving with you and doing something else if things get overwhelming

hehe i think she intoned that it would probably be a psytrance party

looking at you experiences i would say dont bother... a party is certainly not the place you want to try a psychedelic for the first time no matter what psychedelic it is... for instance, altho i find acid to be generally good natured now i had some difficult moments with it the first time i tried it.

all in all i generally do not find tripping in public fun... i did however recently have a great time at club night on a low dose of mushrooms and plenty beer.

mushrooms aren't a good one for you tho clearly... and i guess thats the crux of the issue here... no one can tell you how you're going to react to a given substance... and even if you know the substance well, clearly setting has everything to do with its effects.

if i were you i would just take a low dose of 2c-e since it seems to be your favorite... even if you are getting capsules it will dissolve in water so you can take 2/3 a dose or whatever you want (then just save the remainder to mix later... it will last a year or more in solution i believe).


also, fwiw, i find doing whippits at the beginning of a 2c-e trip tends to mellow out the rest. I guess this is simply due to the rest of the trip simply not being as intense... so you could eat the 2c-e say 3 hours before you want to go out, start doing whippits about an hour after you eat it, completely lose your mind, then when you calm down go out and still be tripping for another 3-4 hours.
 
I would stick to things like ecstasy for parties as thats the kind of drug it is. LSD as far as ive done it is kind of a close friends and solitude drug.

I have done LSD before though, just once. It seems to be my favourite. I just haven't done it at a party before. I am not doing 2c-e at a party again though, it was NOT fun.

I will look up this whippits thing ... perhaps that would be better.

Yeah I'm definitely not doing mushrooms again.

Maybe I will wait after I try LSD again at home or maybe in a setting that is busier, maybe that will help.

I guess I will be sober tonight *sigh* :p
 
I'd say go for it if there all tripping. Use your best judgement.

If you second-guess that, than you're setting yourself for a bad time.

Just go with it and split out if you have to, your other experience was completely different. Festival setting, massive stimulation, no one to relate to who you trust is in a similar mindset, etc. Based on what you said I'd go for it. I'm not tell you to, I just would if I were you. If you get anxious, take a benadryl and go to sleep in the next room or something. Or leave. Nothing wrong with that, unless your doing this specifically so your boyfriend can stay and "have a good time." Which is bullshit imo. Either you're in it together, or not at all. I wouldn't trip alone if I knew my lady wanted to, but couldn't for environmental reasons. But then again, I'm a gentleman...

By more forgiving I meant LSD is very clean, light on the body, etc. 2c-E is very immersive, personal kind of high. Especially at 18+ mg.

Take half a hit, test the waters, then in an hour when alls clear take the other, assuming you still need it. YMMV.
 
personally i do not like trippin in public at all. if im goin to a party i stick to my x and my alcohol, my weed and my dubstep.
 
as with all psychedelics, gotta have a positive mental attitude going in. if you keep worrying about having a hallucination that will freak you out as it kicks in, you just might see it.
 
Well i suppose you've already made a decision.

Just keep in mind.. people are mirrors of ourselves, and as such they reflect back everything we love and fear about who we are.. your usually not aware of the subtle reflections when sober, you might notice the more obvious reflections (arrogance, self-pity, charisma) but when your on psychedelics.. your tuned into 'everything' and this is where it can become awkward because everyone's essentially in a house of mirrors with themselves completely exposed.

You can usually mitigate this by having some form of 'main distraction'.. music or some central focus of attention, which distracts the self from itself.. but keep in mind, everything that may appear negative is you attempting to deal with an aspect of yourself.

Interacting with people.. especially while peaking is never going to be easy because all your 'shit' is coming up whilst your trying to maintain a conversation and the moment that person reflects back something negative in yourself you'll usually panic because all of sudden you feel that part of you know one knows about is suddenly exposed.

^^ This is generally medium-high doses.. LSD is usually more forgiving in this sense, because you can understand the process above.. whereas Mushrooms are a little more tricky, it's not so clear.. there's more emotion involved then rational thought which can lead to some dark places, but equally you can reach moments of incredible bliss.
 
I love doing acid at parties as well. But make sure it's an appropriate party. Not to many drunk people and it's always really good to have a couple people there tripping with you. Last summer we used to have psychedelic parties and they were always tons of fun. 15 people tripping on acid and mushrooms together hell yea :).
 
Yeah you could but take half of the dose especially if you don't know how strong the acid is.

I've seen people totally flip out while tripping on LSD at parties and that includes raves or after parties from raves.
