What are the essentials I could have around me to help make my acid trip the best it can be?

You know how with MDMA you need vicks, glowsticks/lights, gum/lollipops/pacifiers, anything soft, all those goodies? What about LSD? I know music is a given, but what else can I have to help me have a good ol' time tripping?
 
Water and orange juice! If not orange juice then any substance that contains high amounts of Vitamin C. According to Hoffman and Osmonds book "The Psychedelics":

Unpleasant LSD and morning glory trips can be smoothed out or even stopped by taking niacin (in the form of nicotinic acid, vitamin B-3 or "niacin"). Vitamin C has been shown to reduce the incidence of paranoia and prevent depletion of the vitamin from the adrenal glands during LSD trips.

So I would suggest going to your nearest GNC or health food store and buying some B-3.

basically all the stuff that's good for MDMA might prove to be great on acid. also a sober friend whom you trust to operate the music machine whilst you are too busy tripping out to realize that the album ended :)

vitamin C "increasing your trip" is largely a myth, but once you are in a trip a nice glass of fresh orange juice is definitely a big bonus. i prefer the full experience of peeling a ripe orange though, as there are smells created by the rind that do not come in the orange juice carton!
 
I'm definitely going to bring my light gloves, and a track of good trance/house/psytrance/goa/etc music. As for the orange juice thing, I didn't know it applied to LSD?? I thought it was mainly with shrooms and ecstasy lol, but I'll give it a whirl. Placebo or not.

So anything else you guys recommend? I don't think I'll just be sitting around chugging a carton of orange juice for the whole trip lmao.
 
You'll definitely want good weather and an appropriate environment/setting to explore. As well as giving yourself a good 12 hours to not have to worry about communicating with people who can't know you're on something.
 
Set and setting, and the summer sun ! Or a warm house, the cold has never been friendly to me on any trip.

Where did you find that? The Psychedelics FAQ? Niacin is not going to abort a trip, vitamin C is not an antipsychotic. If you're worried about a bad trip, get some downers in.

Well, you hardly need all that stuff, but for a nice 'cid trip you just want some fascinating objects to play with, juggling stuff if you juggle, probably an oven pizza, and some chewing gum.

Well I didn't mean NEED, but you get the picture. It provides a sort of boost when people are rolling face. Like an additive.

Hmmm...everyone seems to be saying set,setting,atmosphere,etcetcetc. I was looking more on the lines of something physical lmao, but that's okay I guess. I'll figure something out that enhances the experience.
 
Milkdrop 2 or ProjectM visualizers, your favorite music, good vibes, and ART! I love going to the museum on acid. I will NEVER take acid again without piracetam, I wrote a trip report if you want to see why!

If we plan to dose higher, I keep niacinamide around because it does work as a trip killer (and it doesn't have some of the nasty flush side effects as normal niacin), but having it in your possession can be a double-edged sword: if you think you might have a bad trip, you probably will. So it's your call.

I also get bad stomach cramps on "dirtier" acid, and I came to the conclusion that the problem was gas, so I keep GasX around and usually that problem is alleviated within 20-30 mins.
 
Basically you're going to want your favorites of lots of stuff. You're favorite people, you're favorite place, drink, food, cigs (if you smoke), music, some kind of downer for the comedown to chill you out (if thats your thing)
 
1. A good set/setting
2. A positive mood/attitude and friendly, laidback people if any.
3. Music
4. Juice and citrus fruit
5. Music (Yes, again)
6. Strange/Exotic foods
7. Melatonin (1 - 2 mg) is very good 30 mins before you hit the sack, to calm that never ending flow of thoughts and remind your brain that it's time to sleep.

Enjoy.

Oh yeah, and:

8. Search for treasure.
 
Make sure you have the acid!

Clear positive mind
Juice to drink, fruit to eat.
music, glowsticks.
lighting you can change up
sofa

Anything beyond that may try to get, I usually end up looking at it while tripping and think what the fuck?
 
set everything up so that you don't have to face complicated shit. if youre tripping somewhere else id recommend putting your phone, ID, money, house keys somewhere safe, somehow i end up emptieing my pockets everytime
 
Yep, somewhere along the line you realise the absurdity of your ties to these pointless material objects, and liberate yourself from them so that you can become the master of your destiny, free of the constraints that society has placed on you. Then you realise you can't get in the house, call anyone, or get a bus anywhere.
