Introducing friends / loved ones to psychedelics

Its funny, I've never actually introduced anyone to tripping per say except with smoked DMT and every time is was satisfying as the people would always think they were prepared for the situation, but even I, a well traveled phsyconaught am never fully prepared for what the drug can do. Most of the times the trips were good though which is always great to see. One of my best friends had what could only be described as an orgasm on it while I was sitting for her... I think its great to spread psychs around as they do really open ones eyes to new perspectives... but as some one said before, have some benzos or SSRIs on hand because it can go badly very fast -- though that is never a problem with DMT due to the time period.
 
My best friend's first acid trip was with me; we are very close now and we trip and smoke together all the time. I also turned him onto weed, salvia, and away from that nasty alcohol. He says he can't thank me enough for introducing him to all of it.



About tripping with girls: I can only recall one experience tripping with a girl. My girlfriend (at the time) hooked me up with a 15 strip and we each took one and a half on a school night. It was extremely awkward and I would never want to do it again (although I don't think I ever wanna do anything with her again). She was chill, though, and I think if we had just been friends at the time it would not have been awkward at all.
 
If you're going to do your relatives, give them DMT.
Everything else is a worthless trip.
 
My best friend and i tripped for the first time together. It was fucking awesome.

I also introduced another friend of mine to mushrooms, although i wasn't around for his entire trip; just the come up.

There are plenty of other worthwhile psychedelics out there besides DMT, I'm sure there are many people here who would agree with me on this.
 
Intorducing friends and loved ones to psychs must be done with caution.

Also its best if the person introducing the friend is experienced with tripping and know a bit about the person they are giving the drug to, so as not to have any bad after effects like lasting psychosis (i learned the tough way)

I would love to one day be able to take MDMA with my parents. But i know its an idea neither of them would be too happy about.
 
Introducing people to Acid, your opinions?

So the other night I got on acid for my 3rd time, and my mate was round who had watched me do it the last time. After a bit of discussion he was on the fence about taking it, mainly due to an upcoming court case but after I found the literature on the net and assured him he'd be fine he was slightly keener to do it. There was a bit more assurance and guidance from me that everything would be ok before he finally agreed to do it. So I gave him 1 and 1/2 weak tabs and he had a great time, maybe too much (i guess). But for the last 2 weeks he's been visiting old mates in another town where they get on cid regularly (trip was planed before we go on it, i think). While he was there he told me he's been tripping on good acid and smoking ice and he looks like he has been too.

So here comes my dilemma, I introduced him to it and he wasnt sure he wanted to do it at the time but I helped per-sway him to do it and now he's kind of going all out. I kind of feel guilty (worried). His girlfriend is pretty pissed at him cause she went away for those 2 weeks. Are my guilty feeling founded? Is there anything I should particularly tell him? Everyone has a choice and LSD is non addictive so that makes me feel a bit better but yeah what do yous reckon? Would the 'good friend' thing to do have been not to show him, or did I actually do the right thing? Any advice is appreciated.

as far as LSD goes, just keep an eye on him. some people (like myself) become completely enamored with the psychedelic mindset and are prone to go on binges if they have easy supply. however he will soon find his tolerance skyrocketing and he will no longer get the positive effects he once did, and hopefully he will utilize self-restraint and learn to make his non-tripping hours just as mentally fulfilling as his tripping hours have been. he's on a honeymoon period for right now, just be supportive of him in general but don't be afraid to voice your feelings if you see him treating his mind and body irresponsibly.

remind him that LSD is a very powerful drug. unlike other types of drugs, psychedelics can really harm you emotionally if you are unprepared or disrespectful of the power that they can bring out in your mind and heart. and emotional harm is the most difficult to heal, as can be seen in the numerous HPPD/PTSD/anxiety threads on here.

"smoking ice" I assume you mean methamphetamine? stay away from that crap.
 
Mate, in my opinion it sounds like he would've gotten in to drugs regardless if it was you who showed him the ropes or if it was someone else. It's HIS choice to use drugs so you shouldn't feel guilty. You actually did the right thing initially by doing research with him on the net before he decided to try it. What you could do now is discuss with him the risks of using/abusing drugs long-term, and make sure he is well aware of the consequences of his actions. Then it's just up to him really.
 
i would worry about him tripping on too much acid, worst case he will be real spacey for a while and learn to respect it, but the fuck is he smoking meth for?
 
I once gave one of my friends half of A 'Strong' blotter, I had known him for years and he was experienced with high dose Mushroom trips and staying up for days on Amphetamines Ect. I stuck on some chilled out music and we chatted in my house [Alone] and waited for the Cid to kick, he started talking strangely about his high dose mushroom trips and i tried to calm him down the best I could [asked him if the music and lighting was ok, tried not to act wierd Ect.] He said he had to leave and took off, he said he thought that it was the beginning of a bad experience and was too intense for him :( Obviously i made no attempt to stop him leaving, as this may frighten him under the influence... He turned up the morning after near the end of my peak [I had eaten 3 T's of the same Lucy] and confirmed he was fine, he had spent the night in his room talking to him mum about what he saw and how frightened he way, he told her it came in waves and being a school teacher she [and he] now assumed LSD was a poison ! Well we chatted and smoked some good weed, chilled and came down fine, just shows though, Not everybody can handle ego shattering acid experiences, no matter how experienced they think they are. Peace (:
 
i think it is wonderful when someone who may have gone their whole life without trying it takes a dose.. :) i think it is something worth experiencing for everyone..

you need to be careful planning their first trip - i took my gf to the county fair on lsd - the hectic fair made her not enjoy it so much.. i had an ok time, then walking out of the fairgrounds by myself with cops everywhere sucked.. i was young - thinking back i should have taken her on one of our safe nature trips..

Do not fall for the whole "LSD is not addictive" line. Sure, it does not cause physical dependence or withdrawal, but it is plenty possible to get addicted to it. Addiction isn't all just physical dependence and withdrawal. I have known plenty of people who abused LSD and I was one of them. I have met a ton of people in and out of past treatment centers who abused the shit out of it just like I did. I was never able to stay away from tripping when I was an active user. Sure, the rapid tolerance build makes it more difficult to abuse, but it is definitely possible to abuse LSD and other psychedelics to the point where it is basically an addiction. Most people tend to think they can separate physical addiction from mental addiction, as though one were the lesser of two evils, but they are still both evil. I used to reason my use away over and over again, intellectualizing my situation and thinking everything was OK because the stuff wasn't "addictive".

In other words, whether you can relate to my line of thinking or not, whether you've been there like I have or not, be careful with the stuff. Be careful with anything. It's far too easy to fool yourself.

Did your friend use drugs before you introduced him to LSD? If he didn't, I might understand why you feel a bit of guilt. He wanted to do it, though. It was his choice. It was also his choice to go see his other friends and smoke ice. If he starts going crazy and can't stop, all you can really do is talk to him. The ball is in his hands right now and if he's going to stop or wise up he's going to have to do it all on his own. There isn't much that you can do at all and you would probably be wasting your time if you took it upon yourself to try to "rescue" him.

I hope things turn out OK for you and your friend.
 
You definitely should not feel guilty.

Your friend is not ruining his life with LSD. He is ruining it with methamphetamine. Unless you introduced him to that, it's definitely not your fault man. That's a rough drug.
 
Thanks heaps guys. I had a big reply written but I've decided it might cross into personal territory so I'll leave it at this.

<3 BL


Peace

I don't like introducing people to drugs. I would just feel guilty if anything went wrong.

I adore acid, but I strongly disagree with this statement. A lot of people just aren't suitable for psychedelics. I would go so far as to say that MOST people aren't suited to trying hallucinogenic drugs. It's just us select few who are suited to enjoying it :)
