I recently tried LSD for the first time in my life, I'm an 18 year old male. I took 3 hits of acid, being my first time I didn't know nor care how potent it was. Before describing what happened it should be known that I'm never doing acid ever again, not out of fear but out of self-preservation.

T:0- i eat two sugar cubes, each containing 1 hit of acid from san fran, they said acid was tasteless but it seembed to strike a nerve on the tip of my tongue, nowhere else but the tip. One of the sugar cubes could've had 2 hits but I don't really care.

T:30- body is tingling, getting kinda giggly, driving is more fun than before, minor waving, I reach my destination, a small lagoon near my area, this is where I will spend my entire trip.

T:1 hour- first true peak. Let it be known for my first acid peak I was completely overwhelmed, all that could come out of my mouth was "the colors." My trip sitter, N, had dosed the previous day and was still fried, uncomprehensible and the sitter didn't help. Great...

This is where things went wrong, the instant my mind stopped focusing on the swirling greens, reds and whites I was seeing everywhere and started feeling regret for tripping instead of going to school, the entire world flipped upside down. I was still unable to really talk other than a few blurted words here and there but what was really hectic was the visions that started to take form. The valley I was in instantly became a death trap with thousands of carcases hanging from thorns embeded into the rock. I saw huge man sized birds circling me, then suddenly I became the only person, I knew N was there but I couldn't c him, the birds started attacking me. I ran off into the forest at the end of the valley in fear for my life. I walk around tripping out, the visuals are stunning complete hallucinations, people hanging from trees, thousands of eyes. Not intimidating like the death trap of a valley.

I continue along a trail for a while until I run into some people from the high school I went to, I tell them I'm tripping on Acid and they're friendly but something is awkward. I don't know these people, they make me feel uncomfortable, something is wrong, then ZING. another peak and my mind starts racing, i start blabbering jibberish, jumping up and down, freaking out, I could feel myself do these things and want to stop but I felt an unbearable urge to do them. This is how the trip continues for about an hour, unbearable urges to do random things. Touch the trees, take my shoes off, then my shirt, then my pants and finally my underwear, count to 3 on my last 3 fingers, pray to god and a long list of other things. Inbetween these urges I was delighted by some beautiful eye candy, lots of unique coloring and rare hallucinations (auditory and visual) unlike any other psychedelics i've done but the urges don't stop. After about 2 hours of heart pounding radical self indulgence, I'm here naked in a lagoon tripping balls. The sky is swirling into huge hurricanes raining down from the sky. N left me alone when I started freaking out and it really helped, people talking to me did nothing but confuse me more. I really had to be by myself to deal with the last part of the trip.

There is an odd connectedness you feel with acid, I felt like I was caught in some giant web that connected every living life form. Plants and animals, the dirt wasn't in the web. While on LSD I thought I could control the lines that connected the life forms, I started feeling extremely special. Then the thoughts started flowing like a river, a never ending river of self revelry, I controlled life I thought. My mind was encouraging me to do things, to be someone. I AM SOMEONE. this thought really struck a nerve, because after this I felt godly for about 2 hours and if my friend hadn't picked me up I would've continued on believing I was god. This isn't like the center of my universe god, this is like Jesus the messiah god, I saw a crown of thornes above my brow and stigmata in my hands. This was my list vivid visual, my friend found me naked in the lagoon and drove me home, this was after tripping for 8 hours straight. I had to pick my car up the next day with my mom.



Just a conclusion, It seemed my mind propogated whatever I already thought, be it negative or positive. The second my mind floated towards negativity, the visuals went into a scary unreal side. When I was positive, I was jesus. These extremes of emotion and the manic feeling I had are the main reasons I'm distancing myself from LSD. Chaos and clarity are within everyones mind, LSD just seemed like a magnifying glass on which was which.

PS I think this was written like shit but it's 5am and I just had a pretty intense flashback to LSD while I was shrooming today and had to write about it.

i've been there. my advice to you is to not rule it out completely, but definetely sit on the idea and ponder for a couple of years. a lot of ideas run through you in a year, and in two years, even if you still don't want to take lsd again, look at it as a "i don't want to take lsd ...yet", not "i'm never doing this again". the positive reflection in the body of taking things as they come along rather than the blanket approach is notable :)

concur on the allegedly "tasteless" acid, it's always tasted like ink for me.
 
If you do decide to take acid again i suggest you are prepaired with some marijuana. My first time on acid i was overwhelemed and shaking with insane throughts in my head that would just never end. Voices in my head and i was basically insane. I find now that smokin some weed really can calm you down and takes care of that feeling that you need something, but just cant figure out what! Very nice report by the way.
 
I would have to seriously question the competence of the so-called 'sitter', who allowed you to take three hits on your first time. :X

I've said 'never again' after a heavy brain-frying acid trip before, but I keep going back. %) Try it again with ONE hit the next time dude, acid is a beautiful thing if you treat it with respect. :)

for a first / second time user with a not so great track record with lsd, having weed to smoke during the trip isn't the greatest idea, it may slightly dull the brain for a second, but you will trip harder after the smoke. of course weed tolerance will affect this, but having benzos on hand would be a better idea. a half valium when things get too much works well, it calms the thoughts and the trip down :)
 
^ Agree totally. The only less than positive experience I've had with lsd involved smoking weed (around the 5hr mark). It certainly made me trip harder and also launched into some very obsessive thought loops over the amount of time the drug would continue to affect me. It wasn't the most horrible experience, but it's not something I would wish on an inexperienced user.

Also, 3 hits is a pretty big dose for a first time. If you ever do try it again, 1/2 to 1 tab would be a much better way to ease yourself into it :)
 
MMM, I wish I knew what it felt to be a god, hehe. Good report

Oh by the way, when I took 3 hits of acid, I also saw a web- but I didn't feel this web connected to anything, it was just there- I was tripping in my room and this web was sooooooooo pink and big, I touched it/ felt and it was so amazing. Man I was tripping balls!

And reconsider not doing acid again, it is an amazing experience.
 
I smoke weed on the trip, it really just made things worse. I felt really fucked up and it just made me feel more fucked up, it really didn't mellow anything out. I smoked at the hour mark, right before I started having doubts.
 
Really. My problem always seems to be that i can't calm down. My racing thoughts drive me crazy and then i find my body trembling. Weed always takes care of it... Well i havn't had a bad trip persay on acid yet so i guess i dont have any advise for that.
 
reality? at bonnaroo

The first time I ever took the psychadelic funk called acid while already trippin was at bonnaroo 2006..... There is really some crazy shit that goes on there but thats besides the point. It was a friday at bonnaroo when my 2 buddies and i are going to the main stage to see oysterhead and tom petty... I kinda brought mescaline the day before when we arrived and i eat a few of two pellets of those bad boys... at this time the sun was starting to set and the heat and exaustion seemed to not exist. I believe those started to kick. Later durning the tom petty show my friend came across some rolls and he and i both took two of them.... About 15 minutes later i was now rolling nuts.... and the lights started morphing into the LCD screen like no other... the visuals at this point were damn killer... about half way into the concert a couple arrives and starts talking to us and chillin with us.... after we met them we started smoking a couple bowls with them and then they offered acid..... at this point i believe i was very volnerable to compolsive things so when she offered it to me and my friend we each took two hits of liquid and my friend was damn crazy and he dropped it into his eye....Almost directly after we took it we started to really halucinate and we were in the middle of one hundred thousand people and we were beyond comfortable..... Its really undescribeable how the lights worked with tom pettys voice because it seemed to be pouring out of his mouth.... I remember when the croud from the concert were filing out my buddies wanted to go to the camp site to go rest before they were going out to party all night i think i kinda left them for some reason..... by this time i was speeding and tripping the hardest of my life... I tried walking around for a whle but it did not really work out i eventually sat under the fountain they had at bonnaroo and i started to read the newpaper they had there and when i put it down i see a guy that looks very entrigued by the mushroom fountain so he comes by and starts talking to me and a guy that was also reading the paper.... at the time i really didnt think of anything but i started getting the chills up and down my spine but it was crazy and is something i call "THE FUZZ".... At this time the guy states himeself as a very chilled out guy and the guy next to me was a very ANTI- somthing and i was feeling very negative vibes from him and i believe the other guy did too....

<and then i had the craziest VISUAL OF MY LIFE... at bonnaroo they have mardi gra parade that runs at anywhere between midnight and 3 in the morning... so i was getting all into some crazy conversation with some guy i have no idea who he is and i start hearing the cagun music or something then i look up and see these crazy jester like people dancin with the music and then the music gets louder and louder and louder and then they really disappear and i am left in complete shock

so eventually this guy asks me if i would like to go on a walk with me and i was like hell yea. we start walking around bonnaroo and he was telling me all about his life.... -- this guy was from maine and i had never met anyone from maine before in my entire life... He was an organic farmer the had some good buds.... he was all out really finding yourself and being really your own god.... i found this guys every word to really stick to my brain i really never thought of anything thing like this ever.... we eventually end up in the beer tent and this guy out buys me a beer.... This guy was a realy family man he sates and i believe that he tought me some crazy shit and it may have occurred and epifany <was i trippin too hard to notice or was he fuckin with me the whole time?>

Then throughout the night i had two really really weird accountances.... When we had a converstaion before i told him i was tripping he said.... I BELIEVE ACID BROUGHT US TOGETHER

And the other one was when i was at his campsite with him and the old man after he was showing me his old school jeep i took a seat and then him and the old man seemed to stand up and all of a sudden it looked like they were peering over me like trying to scare me and the backround literally melted into my feet and in my head i was like NO this is not happin and it went back to normal.... WAS that their intentions...? i really do not know

This guy states that he has no record of really living... he says he has no drivers license so SSN or not any record that says he exist.... i believe his words were genuine but who knows.... Another crazy thing about this guy is how he snunk into bonnaroo. he had a bracelet that was a mixture of the ends of other bracelets.... and he fit under an old school jeep wrangler back bench while the guy that went with him was a 60 year old man that has been in the mountains of maine for over ten years without human contact.... the guy told me his name when i asked and he says im the firs t person hes told
his name to anyone besides that guy and his family..... He recommended the book ATLAS SHRUGGED By AYN RAND and he said it would change my life and i have still yet to pick it up but i KNOW i will some day....


during my first acid trip i was basically alone but i def had a life changing experience that i am still to figure out in my head.....

so i ask do you think lsd is more of a drug or and experience and i say be ready for something very very crazy
