I've had many opportunities to try LSD and have passed on all of them because i felt like i wasn't ready for such a powerful drug. I tried it for the first time two days ago.

pre-trip drug consumption: One 70-90mg MDMA pill (Blue sherrif's badge), a lot of cones. I had dropped the pill at 2.00pm, and had all but comedown by the time i went to consume the tab. I have a pretty high mdma tolerance, and an extremely high cannabis tolerance.

I took the drug at the same time as three other friends. Two of my other friends had never consumed LSD before either and one of them had had it around 15 times.

We decided to have a little bit of fun with it and consumed it downstairs in my friends basement with nothing but a TV for light and a Wii and xbox.

7.30pm - Placed one Che Guevara tab underneath my tounge, and had swallowed it by 8.00pm

8.15pm - Starting to feel a warmth in my body, things seem to be a lot funnier than they really are.

8.30pm - I smoke two cones and immediately start to feel an intense wave of body rushes. The body rushes seem to be at my chest, leaving me feeling breathless and making for a very intense start to my trip. I was really enjoying myself by this point, laughing at a lot of shit that wasn't really that funny.

9.00pm - Things start to 'breathe', slowly but surely my vision starts to turn all fish-eye lens style, i look over at my other three friends who are all out of their mind, probably a little more so than me at this point. Even my experienced friend was sitting there giggling at the TV screen as my other mate played the Wii.

9.30pm - The waves of euphoria start to amplify, things become really intense. We turn the light on just to see how things are, and as soon as the light goes on the fish-eye lens affect is in full play. I start seeing 'behind the eye visuals'.

10.00pm - My experienced friend's face is half blue/half red. I am laughing at everything, there are small vortex's appearing at the other end of the room and the whole room is patterned, and very green/red/blue. The behind eye visuals cover everything in the room with what looks like newspaper writing.

10.30pm - We run out of cones and cigarettes and decide that a walk down to the shop to buy more cigarettes will be a fun idea. At this point none of us are experiencing nausea, and we're all having extreme body rushes, talking shit, stopping half-way through sentences to laugh at shit. The moment i step outside my vision goes completely black, and shit starts to get extremely wacky.

10.45pm - I feel like i'm in a circus walking down the street, weird noises are pulsating through my head, although i can't distinguish what they are as i'm too busy watching the vortex's ahead of my swirling out of control and my friends head looking like some sort of beast from a freak show. The whole time the trip gave me the vibe of being very circusey. I had no clue where i was, i couldn't focus on anything, and a pretty strong nausea had started to settle in by this point. THe whole walk was in complete darkness for me, my peripheral vision was all vortex's and everything seemed so out of proportion. My mate who had taken LSD before started to talk about a rodeo ahead (making it up). As he explained it, my mind began painting the picture, and i watched as a rodeo with light everywhere began to appear up ahead. Luckily we got home quite shortly after this as things were getting way too intense for me.

11.30pm - we were back safely at my mate's house but his mum and little brother throw me off and freak me out. We go up stairs to get some sanctuary but the whole room looks like darkness, all i can see is what's in front of me, which keeps warping and changing, still making me think i'm in a circus. My other mates are tripping just as hard as me. None of them had had a pinga before taking the tab and i think this was why my trip now seperates from theirs.

12.00pm - I am in complete mindfuck, my stomach is on the verge of vomiting, the walls are still breathing, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is on, but watching it only makes me panic more. I start to notice myself going a bit insane. The mindfuck becomes way too much for me and i think i'm going to vomit. I go to the toilet and stand over it, the walls start to pattern and an extremely bright light appears to be shining down over the toilet. I end up not being able to spew, get a glass of water and try to calm myself down.

12.30pm - I am still in complete mindfuck, no matter how hard i try, my mind reverts it back to something bad and makes me sick. I'm not really freaking out, to my friends i look like i'm just spacing out, but inside my head i'm having a shocking time, just waiting for it to finish.

for the next 4 hours it was all the same, the visuals slowly died down, and gave me a better sense of security, although the mindfuck stayed there the whole time. I really couldn't handle it, i don't know if it was too high a dose for my first time or what, but i don't see how anyone could slightly enjoy this drug at a festival or anything, even when my mates were considering inviting over two other close friends to smoke some weed with us i freaked out and asked them not to. The visuals were extremely overwhelming and walking in complete darkness not knowing what was going on and thinking i'm in a circus scared the shit out of me. But what made the experience undesirable for me was the extreme body load/nausea i felt after what seemed to be the peak. I'm not sure whether i was still coming down from the MDMA earlier on or what, but after i got back from that walk, it was all downhill.

I think i could enjoy LSD a lot more if i were to have taken half the dose i took. I just really wasn't ready for the mindfuck it produced, and the extreme warmth/rushes i got.
 
sounds like you had some good stuff, bad mindfucks I have notice can be easily triggered from being indoors, your mind can feel trapped, making you have dark thoughts and loose concept of time, outside its a much better place to fry, with much more scenery and more room to explore you can really open up your mind and enjoy all the effects.
 
yeah agreed, being in your budies house with his family is not an ideal setting. Should have stayed out doors or took a little camping trip. By the way playing video games and watching TV while tripping is a dumbass thing to do.
 
I failed to mention it started raining about half an hour after we arrived home which is why couldn't go back outside. Otherwise i would have been very keen to go back outside, as it was outside when things were the best. As for playing games whilst tripping being stupid, i knew what i was taking was going to be a high dose for me and tbh i wasn't really ready to explore anything intense, i just wanted to get the feel for it. I had no real problem playing video games and found great amusement in the patterns and shit created by them.
 
Wow your acid must have been POTENT stuff, true mindfuck and nausea usually doesn't come from taking 1 hit for most people. But everyone is different.. it sounds like your body might react to the drug in a more physical/nauseating way than usual. I've taken extremely large amounts and while sometimes it makes me feel weak and wobbly, its never made me feel truly bad.

I think half a hit (of that same blotter) for your next potential try would be a good idea for sure.
 
Yeah from my experience.. been in-doors your mind can feel trapped.. you cant exactly do anything (in terms of explore) so you end up 'thinking' a hell of alot more, especially in conversation or trying to understand something your witnessing.

The best way to avoid that 'mindfuck' (for me anyway) is to direct 100% of your attention too one thing.. music is usually the best thing to just focus on, cause your not trying to think too much.. and you just loose yourself within the beats.

I always find when im expected to contribute too a discussion between friends about anything, or im expected to 'do' something.. is when my mind just goes wack. But yeah.. i've never experienced the nausea you described.. but i have felt somewhat 'drunk' while on LSD.. in the sense that my perception of balance was massively warped.. so i felt like the ground i was walking on was tilting, causing me to stumble.

Oh man. The time that I took 4 1/2 hits of acid, it rained. I was sitting in this field of grass behind a church smoking a blunt. When I finished I felt one rain drop. It quickly turned into a complete downpour. After words the sky cleared and I saw the moon and clouds. Fucking brilliant experience. I was really wet when I went back to my friends house at 4 in the morning. They took the same amount and everyone had there own blunt.

Good times.
 
Yeah, the guy who i got the blotter off is a complete tripper, like, one of the type of people who's so fucked up they'll take 2 tabs in the morning, every day. He talks to himself and shit, and now i can see why, the acid he got was fucking potent as. As for the whole nausea/bodyload, i'm hoping some of it i can contribute to the comedown from the mdma, as i usually get a little sick on the comedown and always have a pretty bad bodyload, i'm sure peaking on the LSD whilst coming down from the MDMA really enhanced the nausea/bodyload making it a lot worse. I've got two more of these tabs and i'm thinking of trying another full one next month without MDMA to see how i like just LSD.

Another thing, it seemed as though before i'd smoke a cone, things weren't very visually intense, but the moment i had 2 cones, the visuals kicked in hardcore, and it seemed when the stone died down, the visuals did as well. Is it usually weed that helps bring on the visuals with LSD or was it just a coincidence?
 
lol sounds like a good time. Also smoking pot with LSD makes it a completely different experience.

Yeah very different.. i prefer weed with LSD though.
 
weed makes the trip more hazy/cloudy for me. but still enjoyable just less i can remember.

yeah i have to be doing something on acid, not always outdoors.

ie. rave,party,outside,biking,camping .

but not sitting in someones house watchin tv.. booring and anxiety causing
 
weed definitely increases the anxiety levels for me, but usually in a benevolent, exciting way.

i love weed.
 
Ditto about tripping indoors with non-trippers, moms, TV, video games, shopping etc.

My fav places are nude beaches, festivals, forests, mountains and with REAL friends.

LSD is a mental, introspective drug, 4 me it really is a trip/vacation when in a nice environment and U have everything u need with u.
 
^ Yup! If you know other people are fucked up on something, your usually more comfortable with embracing the trip.. i find that myself anyway. If your around people who are sober or your trying to hide the fact your tripping from anyone.. it just turns to shit lol.
 
ive tripped 5 times, and my first time i got naseua but that was the only time.. and that was probably the least intense, or 2nd least intense, trip that ive had.
also, i know what the OP means about trying 2 move in the dark with visuals everywehere.. very off-putting lol
 
When i had LSD for the first time it was (rather stupidly) late at night indoors at my place. Also was a complete mindfuck while i was just waiting for the trip to end hoping that i wouldn't lose my identity.

My suggestions:

1) Have a "trip" plan preferrably somewhere quiet outdoors with friends where you won't be interrupted by strangers who may freak you out

2) Play some music that you like. It tends to help and makes the close eye visuals quite intense.

3) Keep some CNS depressants on hand pre-trip like barbituates which can calm you down and maybe even help sleep

4) When trying a drug for the first time don't mix and match. You don't really know now if it was just too strong, weed combinations, MDMA combinations etc..

I did a candy flip on my first trip and for the first 2 hours i was grinning but the rest was just trying to come down.
