Finally Trying Acid (i never thought this day would come)

[Korn3x]

I've done a lot of different substances but have never done mushrooms, acid, mescaline, or anything like that before, except for a few times where i did high doses of DXM combind with weed (if that even counts).

anyways, i've been doing a lot of DMT, which has totally opened my mind to trying acid, which i thought i would never see myself doing as i'm more into depressants like opiates and shit. i have 1 hit, but it's supposedly fairly strong acid. the kid i obtained it from said that even 1/2 a hit is enough to fully trip, but i'm going to take it all at once, which is what he recommended.

anyways, i have no idea what to expect. i've done a lot of research on it, but i still have some questions. i'll have the house to myself for pretty much the whole day (i was supposed to have it the whole day, but a family member may be coming home early so i may have to have to act "sober" sometime at night). will i be able to handle myself accordingly? or will it definitely be obvious i'm on something?

will i be able to handle a phone call? or should i mute all the house phones so that i don't have to worry about it? and could a phone call trigger a bad trip?

i'll be at home with my dog, and i don't think that i'll be able to get a sitter to watch over me. i'm pretty worried about having a bad trip, but i think once the acid kicks in i'll feel much better, just like how when i start to feel the effects of DMT i'm not worried anymore. is it dangerous being by myself for the first time? am i gonna be doing something stupid like trying to let me dog wander outside without its leash or something and ultimately lose my dog?

also, i originally wanted to do it somewhere scenic, but everyone who i asked said i should do it in my home so that i feel safe. is it safe to wander outside if i feel ok?

and what things should i be doing while on acid? i heard music was awesome, so i'll have to create a huge playlist or something. if i like rock, rap, dubstep, would these genres be ok? is linkin park or korn going to be good choices on acid? or could that type of music put me in a bad trip so i should stick to more mellow tunes?

sorry for the long post, it's late and i'm tired. if i forgot anything important to do or should know let me know. just wanna make sure i have everything down. i'm lookin to just have a good experience, and not permanently alter my mind in any way, which i've heard could happen from heroic doses or constant use.

Trigger a bad trip? Who knows, i doubt it tho.. Could u handle a phone call? I dont know.

is it dangerous being by myself for the first time? am i gonna be doing something stupid like trying to let me dog wander outside without its leash or something and ultimately lose my dog?

First time on acid, i would highly recommend a sitter.. My second or third time on cid, i dosed by myself and by the 4th hour i was kinda freaking out for some reason, i could control myself but was still heading towards a bad trip, Then, as if by the hand of god himself, My friends showed up and i calmed down.. Letting your dog wander could happen, but again, no one on this site will be able to answer that except u.

also, i originally wanted to do it somewhere scenic, but everyone who i asked said i should do it in my home so that i feel safe. is it safe to wander outside if i feel ok?

I would suggest if u feel u cant help but go outside, Go into your backyard.. Somewhere u can still feel safe but also star gaze.

and what things should i be doing while on acid? i heard music was awesome, so i'll have to create a huge playlist or something. if i like rock, rap, dubstep, would these genres be ok? is linkin park or korn going to be good choices on acid? or could that type of music put me in a bad trip so i should stick to more mellow tunes?

All depends on your mindset.. I personally stay away from darker music or music which could be considered "hardcore" or "twisted" in nature.

Things to do on acid? Look at the stars? I honestly couldnt tell u dude, Its all up to u .. One thing i suggest that u do tho, while u r hitting your peak, Listen to the song "Lucy in the sky with diamonds", It really is a different experience to listening to it on any other drug.. The anticipatioin i felt during the parts leading up to the chorus where the song "kicks up" was fucking amazing..

You're already thinking too much about it. Don't worry.. listen to some tunes and just enjoy the beauty..

its really hard to say because depending on dose, set and setting lsd can produce a huge range of experiences.

If its a medium-strong tab I wouldnt count on being able to act completely normal in the evening - maybe if you feel you cant just go to bed early and pretend to sleep or say you feel sick or something?

I wouldnt answer the phone - theres no reason to and it could go wrong e.g. it could be obvious to the person that you're on something.

Doing it alone for the first time means that no one can look after you and reassure you that you're ok but also that no one can mind-fuck you (deliberately or, more commonly, accidently). Probably better to have a trusted friend but I generally prefer tripping alone myself so depends on your personality.

It should be fine to wander outside if you feel up to it - nature is aweome on acid but it includes trees, grass, clouds that you can easily see in the suburbs or even out the window. Doesnt have to be some amazing view or anything. Maybe just dont go near main roads or anything like that.

As for what to do on acid - I think most people find that trip 'toys' or 'activities' are unnecesary. You generally just need your mind and music and something cool to look at (which could be anything inside or out like your ceiling). And nitrous oxide is a must for me when tripping but maybe save that for next time - shit can get very real.

Enjoy

I thought I was starting to get pretty experienced with tripping, having done it about 15 to 20 times before realising that you never know what its going to throw at you.

I was once freaking out because I knew the guy I lived with was coming home with his girlfriend. They both know I take LSD but for some reason I freaked out about it and had about an hours worth of anxiety before I managed to change my mindset. That hour felt more like an eternity at the time tho. It was the first time I've had any kind of major negative emotion that seemed to come out of no where, so I am a bit more careful these days about where I take it and stuff.

I suggest you be careful to, in that regard, and enjoy it!

 

[jackie jones]

What can be done sober can be done on LSD. In time you will learn that with the correct dose, you control the trip. It does not control you.

No worries.

i love smoking weed with people, but there are a lot of times where i really love just getting completley stoned by myself and chilling at the house whenever i have it to myself, which is rarely. does this mean that i should be able to have a good trip by myself?

all my closest buddies work, but i have a few good friends that i could maybe try calling over. how close of a friend do i need to be with the sitter? does it make a difference?

any suggestions as to what i should do? should i turn on the tv or fiddle with the computer? or is just looking at walls and ceilings going to be fun enough? ive heard of some people watching the wizard of oz while playign the dark side of the moon by pink floyd, but to me that sounds like a wasted trip, altho i could be wrong.

also, how intense is this experience going to be compared to DMT? i couldn't imagine being in a DMT trip for 12 hours. are visuals going to be coming out of like everywhere and everything? or is it a lot more subtle than a DMT breakthrough?

also, what time of day should i take it? i was thinking maybe really early in the morning, maybe at like 6:30 or 7 a.m. that way my entire day isn't used up and i can still function later in the evening since i'll prob have to call my parents and let them know everything is ok at the house.

edit: i also have 1mg of xanax. could this help if i have a bad trip?

edit edit: and how much proper mindset do i need before taking it? do i need to be meditating or be mentally prepared like a week in advance or something? it's spring break so i feel like this is as good of a mindset as i can get.

It wont be as intense as DMT, imo.. If u can handle DMT, u can handle LSD, but, the main thing u need to ask yourself.. Can u handle tripping for 6hours..?

If a bad trip comes on, Eat the xanax..

Parents?... U r underage???

 

[Budisti]

I took acid alone and talked to mom in the phone when i was still tripping balls,had to focus hard and slap me in the head but I still sounded bloody stupid; but i guess she didnt notice. I watched Alice in wonderland and the cat kinda freaked me out(he looked like he knew something) 8(
I really recommend a sitter so you get a touch of reality Xo

 

[Solipsis]

Acid is definitely more subtle than a DMT breakthrough unless you take a seriously huge amount of acid like 750 micrograms. I couldn't imagine being in a 12 hour DMT trip either although I find that a good dose of mushrooms or 4-AcO-DMT can come closer to a medium level DMT trip.

Trips have different speeds it seems, some go very fast like vaporized DMT, but oral DMT is slower and mushrooms are as well. 4-AcO-DMT is even slower and feels "dilated", there is actually time to catch a breath.
I don't find acid very difficult to handle because it is very rational instead of dreamy. I can follow thought patterns that have a more rational basis even if they are sometimes a little bizarre and if there are many more of them in a shorter time.

Don't pick up a phone on acid or any other psychedelic that is remotely serious. Only on really weak ones would I find it a good idea. Not because a normal phone call is so hard to handle but it may not be a normal one.
People may ask you things that require a sober calculating mind to answer properly. People might give you bad news. You don't want those confusing/difficult/awkward situations, trust me. It sucks if there are people who are alarmed if you don't pick up your phone for the better part of the day...

I'll give you an example from personal experience:

One time a female friend of mine called me during an acid trip and uninvited me to a dinner because I was having a hard time with her relationship, one of my best friends sort of stole the girlfriend - her - from one of my other best friends. I withdrew myself from that argument and apparently they felt betrayed which was a really harsh thing to put on a friend. I was shaken up by the phonecall much more than normally because I was vulnerable from the acid. Do not put yourself in situations where you might be hurt because it is extra nasty on a psychedelic.

Tripping when you are underage is not something I can recommend. It is not like watching a rated movie you are not supposed to. Until you are in an adolescent phase where you have finished integrating a good part of your identity I think it is bad to fuck with it. First finish laying the basics before you go having it temporarily rewired by a psychedelic. I don't really care if people say they are mature early, plenty of people say that including ones that still have a lot to learn. I wanted to try out shit when I was younger, I smoked weed and drank and stuff like that, but I am glad I waited with stuff like LSD and MDMA until I was 18... and I definitely didn't mature late, in fact I left for college when I just turned 17.

Anyway I hope you will take this into consideration, or anyone who is not 18...

For anyone who decides to trip, xanax is a fine exit strategy to keep on hand but do not take it unless it is necessary. Bringing an early conclusion to your trip can keep things unfinished in your mind and it can confuse things without really knowing.

 

[Korn3x]

i should have stated earlier in my first post that i'm 21, and am just home from college for spring break. the opportunity arose that i would have the house to myself, so i figured it would be the perfect day to give this a go.

it wasn't until recently that i opened my mind up to trying acid. hearing that it's not near as intens as DMT puts my mind at ease. i love DMT, but tripping that hard for that long can't be good lol

 

[Solipsis]

Anything that would maintain that intensity for hours has the capacity to traumatize but also support enlightening insights. Some DOX or compounds in the Fly series may do this when overdosing as well as many other psychedelics when taking foolishly high doses.

 

[Sega420]

if you're experienced with DMT then i think you'll be fine for your first acid trip.
happy tripping

 

[PriestTheyCalledHim]

You should be fine.

As for the question about the phones I don't like to talk on them when I'm tripping so I don't answer them and I'll turn off my cellphone.

 

[bluegreenman]

haha your asking all the questions I have. It seems like lsd is making a slow rise again, A lot of people are new and trying it for the first time lately. Im still waiting to get mine, and trying to prepare my mind for it. Im not worried about the trip AT ALL. I am just worried about my HPP that I already have, getting really bad. I might buy multiple hits and do a test run with half a hit to see if im sensitive to its effects. I hallucinate on almost every drug, and have always been a very visual person, So do you think this would factor into the kind of intensity my trip would have? ie: everytime I smoke weed, I trip out, get lost in my minds eye, and see the walls as if they are oceans. I wonder if the sensitivity to visuals transfers to lucy

 

[atara]

have never done mushrooms, acid, mescaline, or anything like that before

anyways, i've been doing a lot of DMT

So, uh, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I think you should be able to have a good trip by yourself yeah. For me personally negative thoughts and anxiety when tripping are usually because of the other people even really good friends. I like to just be in my own word and not have to worry about anyone else. I guess it depends on your personality - in life do you generally need people around or are you happy by yourself.

If you do want a sitter it just needs to be someone that you trust and feel completely comfortable with - ie you wont be all self-conscious like 'am I acting weird? does this person think what I'm saying/doing is stupid?'

any suggestions as to what i should do? should i turn on the tv or fiddle with the computer? or is just looking at walls and ceilings going to be fun enough? ive heard of some people watching the wizard of oz while playign the dark side of the moon by pink floyd, but to me that sounds like a wasted trip, altho i could be wrong.

On the come-up its common to feel a bit anxious because of the anticipation and simulant effect of the lsd coming on so I like to have a shower and then watch a dvd (generally The Simpsons) until I feel the acid fully. After that though I personally dont like watching 'trippy' things its 100x more fun to stare at the ceiling/trees/clouds/whatever and enjoy the colourful patterns and other visuals.

also, how intense is this experience going to be compared to DMT? i couldn't imagine being in a DMT trip for 12 hours. are visuals going to be coming out of like everywhere and everything? or is it a lot more subtle than a DMT breakthrough?

From my unfortunately very limited DMT experience (a few sub-breakthrough hits) the visuals wont be as strong but theres just sooo much more time which makes the experience very different. Having the DMT experinece is good though as you know what tripping generally feels like and you are used to the visals etc.

I prefer tripping during the day because of the visuals especially outside and just generally like it more but a lot of people prefer night-tripping. But yeah get a good nights sleep, wake up early and go for a walk/run or something to wake your brain up and release some endorphins and then have it early.

Its good to have the xanax as a back-up but I'm sure you wont need it.

As for preparation you just need to be feeling happy and healthy. Eat well and exercise in the days leading up to it. No need to meditate unless you want to.

Have fun

ok thx for the advice. I think I may probably prefer to be by myself too.

currently wAtching adventure time on cartoon network and that show seems like it would be crazy on acid lol. that show is a trip in itself.

and I'll try to follow ur advice on the comeup and keep myself occupied.

one more thing, will I eat normally throughout the day? should I just keep some fruit on hand?

 

[Godzilla]

I don't suggest tripping alone your first time. U can get pulled down into a hole quickly and you won't be able to recognize it because ur inexperienced. Find someone u love or trust to share the 1st time with.

Acid is a strong appetite suppresant for most people. I generally just have some sports drink and canned and/or regular fruit which I eat more because it tastes nice and because I know that even though I dont feel hungry my body needs energy.
