Okay, well today is new years eve as you all know and I plan on going to my friend's small party tonight. (there will be around 10-15 people)
I'm considering trying acid for the first time.
I've read up on it and it seems pretty temperamental, trip-wise.

I know and trust most of the people at the get together and I wasn't planning on taking any more than 2 tabs. Not sure about how "good" they are, but my friend who can get hold of them and has tried them before, said they are quite good.

What I'd like to know is:
- is there any way you can induce a good trip?
- how would it mix with a mephedrone-like stimulant?
- how do you handle a bad trip?
- and last but not least, would you recommend it in that environment?

Sorry if a thread like this has already been posted.

Thanks in advance <3

There is no guaranteed way to induce a good trip. If you're in a good state of mind and in a comfortable place, that's the most you can do.

not well. lsd is stimulating as it is. save the meph, especially if you've never done lsd b4

you ride it out. you wanted to trip, didn't you? have an experienced and sober trip sitter with you and some benzos, just in case.

a small private gathering with trusted friends is a good environment. are they good people and will you feel safe with them?

Good luck!

Thank you very much for the advice :)
 
If you can hold on to the thought that eventually what you're feeling will pass then you should be able to ride out any bad trip. Shouldn't be a problem though, if you're in a good atmosphere I don't think it'll go that way at all. Good luck, you're going to have a blast, tell us how it goes :)
 
Alright, I decided not to take acid tonight as my friend talked me out of it. He wants me to do it in my own house with him and 1 more person so he can keep an eye on me because I don't have a clue what to expect :p
I bought 2g of legal mindmelt to try instead.
No idea what's in it at all, but I'd reccomend it if you like mephedrone :D
Anyway, I had a great time and I'll make sure I remember all of the tips and advice you've given me for when the time arises haha :)

I'll definitely post in the trips forum what I had experienced and Ill let you know when its up if youre still interested?

Again, thanks very much for your help. <3 :)
 
I find that the best place to introduce someone to psychedelics is out in nature, especially the desert or beach. If your trip ever turns sour, you can take a look at the open landscape and be awed by the beauty of your home planet. :)
 
Aaah. Okay :)
But wouldn't a beach be kind of dangerous for a first time? I get bad enough ideas as it is :p
I think I'd rather stay inside for the first time, just so I know first hand what kinds of things to expect from it. :)
Thank you for the suggestion though!
 
-The 'correct path' to a good trip with LSD is to take care of set and setting. Go in with an open mind and preferably positive attitude. Research the basic effects so if you happen to feel teeth grinding or overly stimulated or something you know not to panic.

-The only stimulant that I have any desire to mix LSD with is MDMA. Mephedrone is to short in duration and pretty fiendish which I think may make you miss out on some of the effects of the LSD. First LSD trip I always reccommend it pure, I don't even suggest using weed, except maybe for the very very end, but I personally enjoy reflecting on the experience and weed can cloud my mind.

-Very rarely have I or others I discuss it with have a trip that's just entirely all bad. There can be some overwhelming sensations and a sense of not having control of your mind but when this happen I reassure myself I am on a drug. The feelings/sensations often comes in waves so you will like it feel it strongly for a bit, then it lets up, then comes back etc. Its not unheard of for some people to forget they are on a drug and get disassociated from their surroundings but often you are aware you are on a drug and can recognize aspects of the 'real world.' You may want a trip sitter to watch over you during the experience who can like hang in a different room with some activities. Changing a room, music or like getting water can have a huge effect on the trip.

-As another poster mentioned nature is probably the optimal place for a trip but being in a house you are familiar with can be very comforting. Maybe if you or one of your friends has a house near a trail or nice surrounding scenic area that would be good. Group trips and solo trips are both worthwhile so depending on your personality don't feel you have to trip either by yourself or with others.

LSD really magnifies YOUR perceptions and thoughts so do whatever you normally enjoy. I personally reccommend to stay away from television and movies the first trip but its your experience and to each their own. Music to me is alot more interactive with the LSD experience then television so I reccommend some music for sure.

If you pick a safe environment it can eliminate some unnecessary anxiety, but don't worry about trying to completely avoid any unpleasant moments in the trip. It's not a bad thing and it's part of the learning experience. Learning that it's possible to go from complete terror to complete peace of mind from one second to the next by choosing to is very empowering :)
 
have fun and good luck, sorry your initial try didn't work. But good luck for your next attempt. Remember MIND OVER MATTER!
 
My first acid trip was at a psytrance festival (or doof if you will :D)
I recommend that environment with a group of trusted friends, and preferably experienced with psychedelics. I can honestly say that weekend changed my whole thinking of the world and in a very positive way, I couldn't recommend a better setting.
But wherever you trip I would think it'll be a positive experience if you've listened to the above posters which it seems you have :)
 
All I can add is that you don't over-analyze things. Try not to think about it too much before hand. Have it ready for the right occasion, and when it feels right, just go for it. ensuring that set and setting is good.
 
Ive only done acid twice but I feel that talking should be avoided as you end up getting lost and going round in loops.
Which just pickles you out imo I feel as long as you dont say anything you dont feel like your making a cock of yourself... can people see where im coming from?

none of my friends really take acid.

So do you think it would be better to take acid alone than with friends who are sober?

Since you've already done it a few times then yeah, possibly. Nothing wrong with having a sober sitter, but if they are all sober, it's easy for them to be judgemental and even take the piss. Well, very easy for it to appear like that! Besides, I feel you need people on the same wavelength, or nobody at all.

It's always set and setting. If you feel the company is not right, then it's a bad start right away.
