Help me have a pleasant first time acid trip

Pleasant, as in, avoiding thinking I'm living in the 7th level of hell during the trip preferably.

I am going to be taking it alone at about midnight tonight. Been planning it for about a day now and I think that's a good time, as I won't be having work or school.

This will be my first time tripping. I don't know what to expect except the thousands of trip reports that I've read. Yes, I'll be alone and outside at night but the atmosphere in my neighborhood is amazing, I feel like it's in the middle of a gigantic park, it's beautiful, with lots of space and places to sit down and relax.

I'm only running into a slight problem it seems and that's getting myself to believe that it won't be exactly like this experience I've had with synthetic cannabis (probably am 2201), which I ended up having a panic attack and that did feel like I was in hell. I went through this three times before finally being done with the stuff. It's literally probably the worst mental experience I've ever had, and while I don't believe acid is going to do that to me based on what I've read I do secretly think that the experiences could have predisposed myself to being able to trigger them easier.

Hopefully this is NOT true. Does anyone have any thoughts about this plan? Would like some, criticism? Or feedback? Anything from an experienced user I feel would help. Thanks. :)
 
I think you should wait abit till you get over that fear man... You sound hesitant to try it, and when you subconsciously suspect the worst, most of the time the worst will happen during your trip. If you do decide to try it keep the dose low, like maybe half-1 tab..

Thanks for the input, and yes I have thought about waiting because for that reason. However, at the same time I consider myself a person who can rationalize anything. First and foremost, those spice trips were the worst drug experiences I've ever had, and I've done quite a few, leading me to believe it's just an anomalous occurence with just that drug, and also, I believe the panic attacks were manifested mostly by the overwhelming, sudden changes in my body that spice is known to induce, that acid, from what I've read, doesn't do.
 
Two tips:

A) Cannabinoids are nothing like psychedelics, and the chances that your AM-2201 experiences will affect your acid trip are pretty slim IMO. I will easily become an anxious wreck on cannabinoids, but I find it very difficult to have a bad trip on LSD.

B) Start with a LOW DOSE. Every single psychoactive chemical I have ever tried, has been introduced at either a threshold or very low dosage. And I have never, ever, had a bad first trip (I've had some bad trips later on though). Lately, I start with sub-threshold doses for every new chemical I try, and slowly work my way upward, over multiple experiences. It is a wonderfully gentle way of getting acquainted with a chemical and I cannot recommend it enough.

Yes, this is more along my lines of thinking. I know that acid has a sort of stimulant effect to it. The spice I took, seemed to actually have a debilitating effect on my motor functions, to the point where I "forgot" how to move (ended up throwing up all over my friends furniture that day). Have not read that happening about lsd or any other psychedelic substance, however there is literature everywhere about store bought incense causing those effects so I more or less believe the chances that it will not happen like that.
 
since its your first time i assume you dont have easy access of it, otherwise stepping it up would be the wisest step, but in the spirit of adventure id say just do it! thats how it was the first time i tripped at the tender age of 16, i wouldnt have wanted it to happen any other way!!

make sure you have a sitter/ground control/someone to chill with and make sure you dont get naked and play in traffic!! THIS IS IMPORTANT.

some people just do NOT mix with psychedelics, but you shouldn't think youre one of them because you get sketched off of spice, fwiw ive seen people who love smoking DMT completely wig out on synthetic cannabinoids.
 
Appreciate the advice, in fact I feel like I'm pretty much past the fear now. This thread all but solidified that I think.

Anyway, My weed plug is "expanding". lol. He started receiving MDMA caps, which I bought regularly and the quality is remarkably pure. I bought 4 tabs of this acid, word on the street is, it's amazing, so I'm not really worried about the quality. Step it up huh? I would honestly but I won't have a sitter.

Idk how re-dosing on psychs work. The best option for me right now really is to take a half tab just to start. But if the option opens to take the other half and get the full effect I'm down for that too.

^I'd do this.^

Take the dose you're comfortable with.

I took a full dose my first time but I have friends who started on half and usually took that.
 
Dose a 1/2 tab to get an idea what the chemical is for the first time. remember more is less. Happy and safe tripping! You can always eat a whole tab next time :)
 
First off, completely disregard the connection between your synthetic cannabinoid and LSD. They're completely different drugs, with completely different effects on the body. Other than that, I'd say nerves are part and parcel of your first trip. I'd say if you aren't nervous about your first trip you haven't done enough research. This doesn't automatically mean you are going to have a bad trip.

To be honest, I'd just take one tab. The first time I took acid I took half a tab being cautious, and I just felt jittery and 'different'. It was disappointing (especially seeing as I couldn't try it again for another 2 months).

One tab of commercial quality is unlikely to send you on a totally out of control trip (although of course a bad trip is not out of question), but should give you a good feeling for the drug
 
Right, I'd be extraordinarily careful with Cannabis (and all derivatives of), especially if this is the first time you have used LSD. I've only had one bad trip (and have tripped many times, probably around 40-50 times now on a range of chemicals), and this was (in the main), a result of smoking potent Cannabis on potent LSD. The effects intensified about 10 times and was virtually sensory overload. Basically was just far too intense. I also wasn't in the best headspace to trip that night so that may have influenced things a little, but I believe smoking the Cannabis was the primary factor here.

To be fair, Cannabis doesn't agree with me, I find it very anxiogenic, whereas LSD is generally, on balance pretty anxiolitic. Combined, the anxiety of the Cannabis seemed to synergise with the LSD to make a high anxiety, very high intensity trip which whilst I saw some incredible things, wasn't much fun at the time. Of course today I could probably handle it, but perhaps best not to go back there.
 
A lot of people usually say tripping alone for the first time is a bad idea but it just all depends on mood set and setting
One thing I will say though is if you are going to do it alone I wouldn't be wandering around outside the whole time, especially that late

I did lsd the first time alone, my sister and her bf were sleeping in there room the whole night, and I had an incredible time just chillin listening to music and stuff.

If you absolutely want to go outside though I'd say take the L a little earlier around 7 or 8 because it will take a good hour to feel the effects and if it's good quality will last for a good 8-10 hours, then wait and see how you feel first while you're just chillin in your room or whatever and if you wanna take a little walk outside go for it.

If you do feel like you're going to have a panic attack or something awful is happening try to have a benzo on hand just in case and just take like half a valium or whatever if you don't have a tolerance to them.
I think you'll be fine though and have an awesome night if you just try to go into it with a positive outlook and confident mood :]
 
Start with a very low dose and work your way up.

If you don't have access to enough LSD to do that then simply remember it will wear off in a few hours and won't do you any damage. Whatever you do don't call the police for "help" if you feel uncomfortable. Just make sure you are at home in a safe environment and lay down till you feel better.
 
after i tried L a few times i realized i love to get a few drinks in me before i drop. i feel like most of the time guarantees a good trip for me because i go in with a relaxed, i don't care, easy going mind set. thats just me tho

I agree, being nervous is normal and good.

You really should be equal parts nervous and excited before your first trip. If you’re not then it probably means you are not aware how bad psychedelics can go and that you will therefore trip recklessly (too high a dose, bad set/setting etc) and/or not be at all prepared if things do start to turn bad.

As everyone has said start with a low dose. Personally I would advise a first time tripper to start with a ½ because most of the tabs I get would be quite a strong first trip and its just so much better to have an underwhelming trip that leaves you a bit disappointed but eager to increase the dose next time than an overwhelming trip that makes you swear off psychs forever.

Alcohol takes away the anxiety really well for me too but unfortunately it also dulls the trip quite a lot so I avoid alcohol when I can. However, I do like to keep some on hand for emergency use to calm myself down if I get really anxious or overwhelmed
 
daytrip with a close friend on a nice, sunny day. make sure you get to take in the beauty of outdoors, if you can at the very least get to a park or something.

i love tripping through the night too, but i find day tripping but be much more easy going and forgiving. all my outdoor daytrips on L from when i first started are the most memorable as far as just having a nice mellow adventure. just get you some shades, a blanket, and maybe a radio or some headphones, and stare up at the big blue sky. you'd be amazed at how entertaining that can be, esp under a nice big oak tree where you can look at the sky through the branches %)

if ya wanna do a night trip, something like camping, getting to build and watch a fire, and be excluded from the rest of the world is pleasnt and makes for a wonderful first few trips type experience imo.
