First time on acid

[eppy]

Me and some mates are taking acid for the first time tomorrow, something I've always wanted to try. I've been taking MDMA for years and smoking weed but I've never been near the psychedelics. So i've been searching around on here, but thought I'd get a post to clarify some things.

I was wondering how much to take for the first time? It seems there's quite a difference between a light trip and a heavy trip (obviously), so I was thinking of having 2 tabs, or perhaps 1 and then after an hour or 2 having the other. Without knowing the strength of the tabs, what would you advise? Could 2 be too much for a first time or would it be sweet?

We were planning on having some at night and then some more the following morning, but from what I've read there's not much point in this and you've got to double the dosage?

Go for two, doesn't seem like very many of the tabs circulating are powerful enough to provide a complete experience with one. Remember, set and setting. At least start the trip in a safe place.

I was thinking that, cause I'd like to get the full experience rather than a light trip. I'm gonna ask the guy what sort of strength they are.

We're sorted for the setting btw, my mum and dad are going away tomorrow so we're gonna be doing it at mine.

At home is definitely the best. I wouldnt worry about what the dealer says, oftentimes they don't know and are just trying to upsell their product. 2 tabs youre probably getting 100-300ug, Sweet spot for a first lsd trip is probably 150-200. I'd suggest chilling around smoking buds listening to music (itll be beautiful), and once youre sure youre both able to handle yourselves go out and explore where ever you are.

Im hoping on introducing it to two close buddies in the next couple weeks. I've introduced a couple people to acid under these settings and have never had someone have a bad trip.

edit: take them all at once, better peak less duration, no arguing with that.

Do yourself a service, my friend. Prepare. If you play an instrument or are artistic in any sense, have a medium prepared and ready to interact with during your trip. Put together some playlists ahead of time. Some of my absolute favorite artists (especially while tripping, but sober as well) would be: jack Johnson, tool, incubus, bassnectar, shpongle and incubus. I have to almost demand you listen to jack Johnson. You'll feel the utmost overwhelming (not in a negative sense) sense of happiness that you've ever felt. Not to say you won't experience this from the trip in itself.

As for the dosage, take 1 hit then an hour later take 1 more. This will help you (to my experience) ease into your first trip and SLIGHTLY lessen the intensity of your peak, while also extending it.

Oh, one more thing, as for artistic medium, I would STRONGLY suggest water colors and white posterboard.

Enjoy your trip my friend. It's an incredibly beautiful experience, and I hope you gain insight from yours.

P.s. If you have problems expressing yourself (as to say, through your words, to others), don't let it get to your head or make you feel awkward. Remember, your friends are going to be going through the same thing! Be peaceful, laugh, be happy and relax.
(This is my first post on this sight, I hope you found my words helpful!)

Yeah mate cheers for that! I play guitar, but probably not to a good enough standard to be playing while i'm tripping balls haha. With regards to music, we're into dance music so will be whacking that on, think I'm gonna have a listen to some beatles as well though.

Not sure whether or not we're going to have them both at once or one as you say an hour later, will have to decide later.

Must say i'm getting pretty excited about it now and can't wait!

^You'd be surprised, you'll probably be able to play guitar/make art in the medium of your choice easier when you're tripping.

Being at home is a good idea for your first trip, and if you feel adventurous you can always go outside, its nice to have a "base camp" for your trip, and music is certainly required.

You'll have a good time man

Visit this recent thread on the subject.

In it you will find that this question is answered in the Beginners FAQ (link is in my signature below)

Also in the Beginners FAQ you can find the First Time Tripper thread and the LSD Subthread, definitely check those out because this has been covered quite enough times.

I discourage any more tips on the question, there are already many of them to be found varying in answer. It hardly helps. Instead I leave this thread open for the TS to ask anything if it still is not clear after reading the basics.

id let the LSD hit before smoking weed, personally.

ive only done acid a handful of times (maybe 5.)
this last time i tripped i did a tab, waited two hours and wasnt that impressed. accidentally hit a whole bowl in one hit (kinda dry bud) and basically found my self in wonderland kicking it with alice. furniture in the room was changing sizes. everything outside made out of rainbows. ceiling dripping. everything ebbing, flowing, oscillating. i couldnt do anything but sit, think, trip, laugh and look scared for 3 hours. it was amazing but be careful.
