[LSD Subthread] First time LSD

TheShed said:
The first time i took cid was in a forest, in a tent, in the pouring rain beside a mental hospital and morgue. as Shock said, it depends also on how much your going to take. I took a half tab first time and really enjoyed myself although a good friend of mine let the anxiety kick in. Although on our second time we took a full blotter and it was a much more fun and memorable experience! Be safe and have fun.

That sounds like a truly AWESOME setting. And yes, ballsy as well.
 
Man it was hard to keep my mind off it! the friend who kinda freaked told a story that when he was up there, he looked up into the hospital (its abandoned now, and completely run down) and saw a man in a large black overcoat with a clown mask. He ran for his life and looked back and the same creepy clown man was standing outside the front door! prob was just some freaky mental person who came back to relive his time at the nut house..
 
^ that is fucking scary. I'm sorry, I just had to say that. That sort of experience might be the only thing that could make me have a bad trip on a longer lasting psych.

(I've only had one bad trip and it was with DMT, long story)
 
I did acid for the first time all by myself, and I did like several 25'ers, and it was a very soul-searching, identity-finding experience. Loved it! ^_^

Then again, I generally enjoy being by myself.
 
I was wondering, for a first trip, would it be way too much to take 2 tabs? They're supposedly around 100ug, but it seems everyone says they're a bit less so I'm guessing closer to 80ug then. Would that be too high a dose for someone who has never tripped before? I haven't decided set or setting yet, I just wanted to know for future reference.
 
I tried LSD for the first time last weekend... holy shit, one tab of strong blotter and I loved it loved it loved it! I have a ton of experience with mushrooms and I found the trip to be so much less anxiety producing it isn't even fair. I could tell the trip had the potential, in the wrong environment, to go south... but it was AMAZING for me the whole time. I was able to be social and venture where mushrooms make me want to curl up in my bed and close my eyes because of the intense body load.

The come up was interesting as it was long and drawn out... I found it was during this time that the real work can be done as your mind enters this unique and insanely clear headspace. Two thumbs up in my book!!

2 tabs for a first timer (especially if you've tripped before) shouldn't be overwhelming. Just do it in the right place with the right people.

Ok, cool. But my next question being, would it be ok alone? Or with one sober sitter?
 
I don't have any experience with psychedelics and I'm eager to try LSD for the first time. I don't know how strong the blotter will be and I think of taking only the half of it. Someone said that as it will be my first time I should go big and take the whole blotter. Any opinions here? Also I think I should drop it in the morning, will it be better than at night?
 
It's pretty impossible to know how strong your blotter really is but apparently most of the blotter in the US is on the weak side. One whole blotter should be a good intro into it... At least I found. I liked dosing around noon. Since you have never had any psychedelic experience. Just be somewhere comfortable and clear your mind!
 
I have never done acid before and I'm going to be getting some acid sometime this week. I'm probably gunna purchase 2 tabs. I've heard that they are some pretty amazing ones and really good quality from a couple trusted individuals. Would it be better to take both for my first time or take one, and save one for a second trip later?
 
^The answer will vary widely based on the amount, and of course we on the net know 0 about your exact hits. The BEST advice is probably form your "trusted individuals" who have tried these specific blotters from the same supplier.

If they say 1 hit is "Strong" or above, then only do 1.

If they say 1 hit is "Medium" (well above threshold effects, undeniable visual changes, trails, afterimages, crawling textures, etc., but nothing TOO major like demons or interdimensional doors [not to frighten you, hehe]) then its really up to you... if you just want to dip your toe in the water and get a general (ableit mild) demonstration, just 1, otherwise and/or if you are adventurous and tend not to get flustered on drug experiences, then do both.

If they say 1 hit is "Mild" (while still being "really good quality" as you say) the good quality may just refer to the perceived "clean"-ness and not to the strength, so in this case definitely do them both. The VAST majority of blotter going around these days is quite weak, almost below threshold level effects for just 1 hit, those making them seem to be assuming everyone one is going to take at least 2 if not more it seems, dammit.
 
I want to try LSD

I have had the chance for a while and have had a fair share with other drugs/hallucinogens.

I enjoy being in control though and have some pretty intense anxiety every now and then, the only reason I haven't tried it.

Fungus seems to get a bit dark for me sometimes. So I ask fellow Bluelighters, what are some good things to keep mentally noted during the trip?

Thanks for the advice and hoping for a fun time!
 
I just read on your thread in Ecstasy discussion you are currently suffering from anxiety.
Perhaps wait until that subsides before you try LSD ?
 
Mushies are MUCH heavier than LSD is, mentally speaking. LSD is playful in comparison, where mushrooms will cause you to rethink your every fiber of being. Of course this can happen with acid too, but to a much lesser degree.
 
^Whereas for me the exact opposite is true. Even with relatively high doses of cubes ( 40-50 grams fresh ) I remain perfectly calm, lucid and rational. The same is not true of LSD for me. This is the difficulty with psychedelics: the effects are so subjective and so variable one trip to the next it's almost impossible to make generalisations that are true at all times for all users.

Dilated Eyez, LSD can be very confusing on the come-up, particularly at doses high enough to cause depersonalisation ( ego death. ) Anxiety during the come-up is likely to colour the rest of the trip unless you're able to recognise it for what it is, and let go of it. That might be an issue for you given your need to stay in control, at first at least. You can control it, and stear the LSD where you want it to go, but that I think comes with practice. If you've found mushrooms a bit too dark for you LSD won't necessarily be any better / lighter, though it's worth mentioning that I always used to smoke a lot of draw when I was on acid which does tend to deepen and darken the experience. I think it's probably quite different when used on it's own. If you decide to give it a go I'd suggest starting with a low dose, maybe as little as half a blotter if the acid's known to be decent quality. Something around 75-100ug perhaps.

The one thing you must always remember is no matter what happens, no matter how confusing it gets, everything you're experiencing is simply an effect of the drug, and it will pass. It's when you cling onto irrational thoughts and feelings that arise that things tend to go badly. Note them with interest, then let them go and move on. You can come back to anything worth further investigation once your down.

I tend to find the complete opposite - mushrooms are caring, gentler and have a better bodyhigh. LSD, as Terence Mckenna said, can be a bit harsher. But it all depends on your mood - sometimes LSD is gentler than mushrooms if you're in the right mood.
 
I have to say I agree with Pj on this one. Mushies to me are a confusing, chaotic experience where i often stop and ask myself "am i ok?" "am i having fun?" "this is weird"... that's my internal monologue, which can be pretty dominating if you know what i mean

when i get electric, its just... flows. i feel like im plugged into some sort of cosmic power source, not harsh and speedy like ice, but gentle and omniscient, benevolent but at the same time warping and fluctuating, never able to quite put my finger on the feeling
