[original post:]

im trying acid in a few weeks time with one of my mates.
just curious about a few things:
-how much acid should i take to get tripping
-how long roughly should i avoid my family for
-is a house a suitable place to take it, or am i going to want to wonder off other places?

1: The dose will probably vary depending on where you are located, ask your connection if they know, otherwise maybe look at the acid in america 2k7 thread?

2: You'll probably want to have a day free, just so you dont have a timeframe to worry about and have the freedom to experience what may or may not turn out to be a lengthy trip.

3: You might want to wander off to other places, but really the place you should trip should be one thing above all others, comfortable. the best place to trip is going to be a place where you are emotionally comfortable and at ease in, with people you are comfortable with.
 
a house is good if you spend some time making sure you have everything you're going to need. Drinks, some toys, music, some nice decorations. Get rid of any serious clutter or freaky posters.
 
First time i tripped i took 2 hits and had a wonderful time. I think 1 is too weak.
You should avoid your parents but honestly,..if it's a weak trip I have no problem talking to rents on cid. A house is fine, just have some good music and some friends. Have fun dude.
 
yeah theres no way of telling how potent the hits are. 1 hit of some kind of acid may be stronger that 3 hits of another type.

ask the hook-up how strong they're are and how many he thinks you'll need.
 
take two hits. if it's weak, then you'll be happy. if it's strong, then you'll just trip a bit harder but since you'll be tripping anyway there's not that much of a difference between one and two, unless you get a phenomenal amount of acid on a blotter which is pretty unlikely.

you'll want to avoid most people for about sixteen hours... even though you stop tripping around 12-14, you won't really feel back at baseline until you have a good sleep after the trip

don't prepare. the only thing you will need is mary jane, rolling papers, and a lighter. i prefer not to use bongs while tripping because a) it's hard to figure out how to hit the thing and you may drool all over it b) you don't realize how big a hit you are taking, and may trouble your lungs. anyway, no matter what you prepare you're probably gonna be more fascinated by random shit and eventually you're gonna be bored with sitting indoors and will definitely have the urge to go out exploring.

have fun :)
 
^[Borat voice:] that there is some wise advice - NOT /[Borat voice]

dont prepare? nano goes off muttering set, setting, intention, information, drug, dose, incoherently..

wow! there are 300-400ug doses goin roundabout these parts, ~30 freakouts at the last big bush doof...would be highly amusing to see a first-timer on 2x these (again) as even a few ol' hippies were seen to be climbin trees...
 
personally, i've never even touched all the shit I thought would be neat while tripping. Why would you want to control the set, setting, intention (the what?) and other shit? If you prepare everything you may just be setting yourself up for a bad trip. My best trips have been doing completely spontaneous adventures like going to a club or sneaking into parks after dark, preparing too much can spiral into a bad trip when you realize the drug has decided to take you on a completely different direction than your "intentions."

LSD is pretty exhilarating too, and a wild journey in your mind. I always find that if I don't keep up physically by going and exploring new things, my overstimulated mind starts going in a loop and pulling me deep into a bad trip. Twelve hours is a LONG TIME TO BE TRIPPING, there's no way anyone can prepare for something like that, especially when the drug is a new experience and you realize things you enjoy doing sober or on other drugs are completely uninteresting on acid.

Really, the only preparation that needs to be done is to be with someone and carry yourself level-headed to stop yourself from doing stupid things (like crossing a street without looking both ways, or dressing inadequately for cold weather... but hey, i've done both, and i'm still here!)
 
man, take 2 hits, avoid your parents all day, and a house is a great place and if you want to explore you can leave the house. stay in a good mindset and youll be fine. as tempting as it is dont drive.
 
If you have a few weeks I suggest you take a trip to Erowid and read a good few experience reports, the good and the bad.
 
thujone, I like having options available so I can be spontaneous.

For example: Have paints and paper sitting somewhere. Get a trash bag that you can use as a tablecloth, and put it next to the paints and paper. Get your guitar tuned up and all those confusing tangly cables plugged in nicely. Have your ipod charged, put it in your backpack, and toss in a water bottle and a sweater in case you want to go out for a hike.

You don't need to use any of the above. But if you want to, you don't want to have to worry about any of the pain-in-the-ass setup at that point in time :P

Houses rock, if you associate that particular house with warm positive vibes. I would only trip in a house I feel comfortable in. Parents should be out of the equation for the whole day. If you're going to dose at noon, tell your folks not to expect you home til at least midnight. You should be fine by then. (And if you're a little slow then... just say you're tired.)

(And have plenty of ganja. If your hands get jittery after you come up, it helps to have your bowl pre-packed. So do that about the time you dose the acid.)
 
That's enough advice, I think. To the OP, [eK], there are so many threads asking this exact same question in this forum that it's almost staggering. Searching should bring up many, many threads. I think this is probably the most common new thread posted in this forum.

As such, I'm closing this. I think I should make a "first time LSD information and suggestions" thread, and then somehow make it easily noticeable, to attempt to cut way back on these threads.
 
1st time doing acid need advice

im getting 3 hits total tomorrow. i want to do enough to get the full effects but not too much to where i cant handle it. i was thinking 2 would that be too much for my first time? will i get the full effects from 1 hit?
 
Will you be alone?
However, take maximum one. You don't know how strong they are and you have not done it before.
You could also do a half and and wait a bit and then redose. You still have 2 left over for another time to give you a proper blast if desired.
Whatever you do, be safe.
 
Take 2. Blotters tend to be on the low dosage end anyway, and 1 will seriously bore you and in all likelihood disappoint you. Just my advice, though. The first experience with a certain drug is often the most pivotal in forming your opinion of it - don't let it fall flat.
 
A good first time dose is 100 micrograms orally, but nobody can tell you how strong the hits are unless you know the person who made them. In your case I would do one blotter for the first time, then save the two for a second trip. Redosing may be a waste of acid (depending on how soon you do it), so just save the others.
