Hi there, I have recently acquired some acid tabs, and I am going to this place called peace river (amazing name), and wondered if anyone had any tips. I doubt I will have a bad trip because i just have this awesome mind set right now, but preparation is key to success with any new experience.
Tips and Advice are appreciated! Thanks
 
If you're alone I'd bring a portable mp3 player.. music is a must while frying IMO. Bring some fruit, they taste amazing while tripping. Sounds like you're pretty certain of your mindset, it should be a great time. Have fun!
 
Bring warm comfy clothes in case it gets cold, maybe a book if you like reading. Music for sure, wizz fizz or any sherbet like substance. Weed can be a nice touch for when your trip is wearing off and bringing someone along (unless you want a solo trip) can make it so much more fun because you have somebody you can bounce your insightful revelations off.

Have a great time though
 
Backpack with:
-GOOD Music-
-Water-
-Fruit, as my friend above me said-
-Playdoh, bubbles, crayons and a pad, tennis ball, frisbee, etc..-
-Weed-
-Either make sure you're in good company, or no company. Bad company is the worst-
-Good environment and atmosphere (you have that covered it seems like)
-Most importantly, have fucking fun and enjoy being in the most beautiful states of consciousness known to man-
 
Good music
Plenty to drink
Fruits, candy, gum - any light, sweet-tasting munchies
Paper and a pencil/pen if you're artistic or want to write things down - I find it very useful to write down thought patterns on trips that may otherwise be forgotten
Cigarettes, if you smoke 'em, are usually increasedly nice on acid
Good setting/environment, no strangers around
Good company is great, but my first acid trip was solo (although I stayed at home)
Cannabis - I like to smoke a little in the beginning while it's coming to ease the anxiety and amplify the "buzz" of the acid coing on - and then maybe once during the actual trip I might smoke some more. After the trip effects start weaning, at 6-8 hours, cannabis is great for relaxing and it slightly "rewinds" in terms of the psychedelia, so momentarily visuals and other sensations are stronger. Indica-dominant strains are also good for falling asleep, if you're tired but don't wanna trip (not that much will be happening around 9-10 hours) any longer and wanna go to bed. I have never been able to sleep on acid before 12 hours of onset without weed or benzos.
 
Just being practical: If you plan to be out late at night bring a headlamp or flash light. Got TP? Dunno if you're a chick but I doubt I could go 12-14 hours on acid without peeing at least six times! Got your bus/transit pass? Money for a food and a taxi as well as a cell phone? Bring snacks (avoid the junk food) I don't know about you but for me eating when tripping take FOREVER so make sure they're quick snacks.

As others said: Pencil & paper. You'll probably have something to write or draw and it REALLY sucks to be without the proper tools. Lots of water especially if it's hot out!, good music.

Obviously bring a good set to a good setting. Who wants to deal with fixing a bad set/setting when the secrets of the universe are opened up?

Totally agree if you can take a friend there is nothing better than putting the universe to rights when you are tripping
 
Do it !
Take 2 tabs if you don't want to be disapointed. Most blotters are quite low on the dosage. ou want a full trip for your first
 
only take absolute essentials with you. ime it's a terrible pain in the ass to 1) drag anything heavy or uncomfortable with you, esp. if you plan to wander around 2) get (all) your shit together again when you want to move places. takes hours.

and pack your stuff including clothes before you ingest the material. takes hours too. ;)
 
Your trip depends, on of course the strength of the blotters.
The setting, music, your mood (whether you angry or happy) also affects the trip.
Take one, see how you feel within 30minutes, if you don't feel much difference take another and relax for a while.
What works best for me, is that i take two blotters, after half an hour i got for a cigarette in cold air and it hits me straight away, and the nicotine rush helps boost it.
Have a good trip and take care.

First, if you don't feel like anything in 30 minutes you don't need to re-dose yet. Around 45-50 minutes, or 60 minutes if you've eaten, you should start getting worried.

Also, as far as I know the time LSD is actually active in the brain is a very short time, so redosing is often ineffective other than for purposes of "restarting" and extending the trip; ie. the doses don't cumulate as such. What I've read on it and how I've experienced it in practice seems to support this, but I dunno what you guys reckon. So 100ug taken at once is much more potent than 50ug + 50ug taken, say, 60 minutes later.
The drug has set its effect into motion, but is no longer active, and another dose will not increase the amount of acid acting in the brain all that much. It's got a very short half-life as well.

If at all possible, take your dose, and if after 45-50 minutes you don't feel a thing at all, take 1.5 or 2 times that dose, provided you have access to more acid. I have known of people taking one blotter, then taking another an hour later and just barely tripping, and having highly unpleasant not-quite-there experiences. I have also taken a starter of 2 hits, and then went on to take approximately 10 more, give or take (1 or 2 at a time), throughout the day and never been tripping harder than the first hour or two of the first two hits. Tolerance also obviously causes this.

So try to dose a decent amount, wait a good while, and if you feel the need to wait, re-dose with a slightly higher amount if possible.
