LSD / shrooms

[StonerSteve420]

So, I have been smoking weed for a while, but I've always been curious about psychedelics and hallucinogens, namely LSD and Shrooms. So I've decided that I'm going to try them, and for my first experience I have three questions.
1: I want to know which would be best to experience before the other, because I want to experience them separated for the first time.
2: Since I want my first times on these two substances to be as great and safe as possible, what's a good way to preload both Shrooms and LSD (again, not at the same time).
3: What are some good doses for a first timer? I'm a skinny person, 5'9" and about 125 Lbs. I want to mention though, that I want to get pretty high and experience it to the fullest, but I don't want to go overboard in any way. Basically, I want to enjoy it as best I can.
I'm thinking I'll try shrooms first because I've heard some nasty stories about people having bad trips off LSD, and shrooms simply seems like one that I'll enjoy. What do you guys think?

Hi SS, welcome to PD

1) This one's completely subjective and is different for everyone. In my experience I have often found LSD to be an easier trip than mushrooms. It seems to have more of a positive push and is more easily directed.

2) Just make sure you're healthy and feel good and are in a good set&setting.

3) Dose varies and it is very hard to gauge if you haven't had the tabs before. The amount of LSD varies between tabs greatly. You can try to find your blotter design in the acid thread in your regional forum (it should be on the homepage of BL). Send me a PM and I can help if you can't find the thread.

If you know the micrograms of LSD in your hits, I would say 150ug is a good, solid, but not too much dose for a first timer. Some say diving in with a larger dose is better.

Stories about people having bad trips from LSD are just that; stories. Most bad trips on any psychedelic (they certainly happen on mushrooms too) are caused by a bad set and setting. Details about that can be found int the Big&Dandy Set and Setting thread. There's also the idea that no trip is ever bad; there are only difficult trips, you always learn something from them.

More information about LSD and mushrooms can be found in the Big&Dandy threads in the Psychedelic index link at the bottom of this post.

Go with lsd before the shrooms, shrooms are A LOT more ego shattering and you wont know what hit you. besides that lsd is more peaceful. Id say go with around 300 mics of lsd for your first time and then a half 1/8 of shrooms a week later.

I would suggest Lucy to start.

Personal advice would be to do them in a non urban setting just so you can run about, sing shout, all the stuff that you might want to do and if your in the bush no one will come up and question why there are 5 kids dancing on a stump. Also be prepared for the next morning. Its nothing bad just if you trip as a group coming out of it can be quite a lot of fun, so pack you bong and as the scouts say be prepared.

A few search suggestions:

number 2

As you can see in many of these threads:
we don't allow "what should I take" threads as a rule. Please investigate these substances yourself and try to decide from that what is best. It takes some effort, but then you will know WHY you are choosing what to do instead of a couple of people in this thread telling you, however wise they may be

Happy trails and welcome to Bluelight's PD!
