my friends have been drinking heavily and they want to buy acid and take it but they wont believe me that alcohol will dull the trip so please, put any info on this.


or at least put a link describing why it will dull a trip.
 
They won't believe you? If all else fails I don't see the problem with letting them find out for themselves...

I don't think you're going to find any scientific articles on this subject. You just have to be more convincing...
 
^ Well said :D You might as well be a mod ;)

And yeah, this ain't no emergency. Best case scenario is that it'll dull the trip and nothing bad will happen.

However; alcohol and psychedelics can breed quite a messed up state. The fog from the alcohol can precipitate a massive state of confusion and the potential amnesia also plays a part. I don't know quite how to explain it but a similar thing can happen with benzos.

The memory gaps and "not-there-edness" can cause some very bad things to happen that likely wouldn't have happened if they had dosed sober.

How much alcohol is the determining factor really. If it's one or two beer it likely won't make any difference; just dull it, but if they're messed up and drunk; things can happen.
 
between four of us, we drank 2 24 cases...and i apologize for the title of this thread, its just that the guy with the acid was on his way here and i wanted to prove them wrong
 
i apologize so so so so so much...i'm drunk as fuck which is why i posted this but i just wanted to prove them wrong and have evidence for why they wont trip that hard
 
well my friend just said that she was looking at me and two of my friends and said that the two of my friends she saw double of but she only saw one of me and when she was looking at two of my friends she saw purple flashing lights and when we were in the garage she said that she was seeing crazy ass shit........so what the hell does that mean?
 
obv....but i was just wondering than how alcohol dulls a trip.....like the mental portion? cause everytime i've done lsd that was the only thing i was on.
 
It mostly makes a trip just fucked up for me. Fucked up has its place - do a bit of fucked up myself sometimes - but you get a lot more benefit and enjoyment from acid if your not really drunk before taking it. Can also make the trip kinda dark and scary.
 
Basically, you could be losing a lot of the potential that the LSD has because your mind is clouded from the alcohol. You will still get visuals. In fact, I'd wager that the visuals might get more intense due to the alcohol... But many of the people who use LSD are using it for the mental portion of the trip, and I imagine you're going to lose a lot of that to being drunk. Also, getting a hangover in the middle of your trip can't be very enjoyable....

it means she is experiencing the effects of LSD.
laughing my ass off.
 
Well alcohol normally makes your movement impaired, you feel more loose and out of control and vision and sound can get vague.
Imagine that effect on top of a trip, it can get pretty dodgy. IME it doesn't kill the trip rendering it ineffective but it unbalances and removes the focus so that you lose the plot and just flop around all over the place.

Not recommended for beginners but can be *fun*, sort of. More like saying 'lets get totally fucked up' not 'lets have a beautiful trip'.
 
i NEED one or two beers before a trip as it relaxes me and relieves any anxiety I may have about the upcoming experience. I've only been on LSD once drunk, but I took the acid first and then got drunk. I had a great time, was a lot lighthearted and funnier IMO but two of my friends wigged out hard and got all depressed about issues in their life they wouldn't have worried about without alcohol.
 
Drunk tripping can be a bit crazy/dangerous. The inhibition reduction of the alcohol & the strange thought processes things like LSD cause can result in people doing kind of ridiculous things... Sometimes that can be fun, sometimes not so much. These are the types of things that result in people ending up naked in the reflective pool at the washington monument or throwing whiskey bottles at mailboxes in gated communities. Now while there's nothing inherently wrong with either of these things, they can have unpleasant consequences...

This being said, i drink when i trip fairly often. Not all that heavily though. Usually I dose an hour or two before I start drinking, depending on what I'm taking. Then I just casually sip beers over the duration of the trip, that way when i'm nearing the end of the psychedelic effects, i'm also getting relaxed & sleepy from the beer, Definitely eases the comedown phase, sans benzos. Also, i'm a bit of a beer aficionado, so having a few good beers during a trip is a rather pleasurable experience for me.
 
Well ive never drank and then tripped but i sure have drank a shitload while tripping and it never seems to do much in the way of getting drunk but it does make you trip less intense but it can be enjoyable if you are at a party or something. The trip is still fun and enjoyable but its alittle more relaxed for me.
