[LSD Subthread] First time LSD

few simple rules that will make tripping far more pleasant in all likelyhood....

psychedelics and blow, rarely a good idea.
psychedelics and drinking, good if you want to dull a trip.
acid and large house parties, not generally a good idea.

if im tripping face, i might lay down for a bit....

acid, like most psychs, can make you emotional and very possibly unreasonable....

true self? probably not.... it just has a way of turning up the volume on external stimuli....

talk to her, just be like "i felt like i needed to lay down, i needed some time to just get away from the party and just wanted a bit of quiet" if she has done many psychs, she will possibly understand.... we all have those times when we just want to be alone and just think....
 
yeah, I would do it in a better environment next time. Also, I don't like to mix other drugs with psychs (especially something like coke), and I certainly wouldn't want to get drunk on psychs (a drink or two suits me though).

I usually enjoy lying down on my bed while on acid and listening to music. Your friend should understand the feeling of wanting to lie down while tripping, so just try to talk to her. Especially if you were dizzy, that is a good reason to be alone.
 
when I use L at night I lay down or rest for part of it. usually when I am coming up and then I get boosts of energy.
I am not sure if your combinations could of made you dizzy but the setting is probably what made you uncomfortable.
its not that acid makes you emotional or unreasonable but you can change moods really quickly and not really know why.
Agreeing with Jamaica, if she has tried psychs before then she will understand why you wanted to be alone for a tad.
 
Everything said so far is golden.

You just had a really bad Set & Setting.

Also mixing drugs (especially things like coke) is a pretty bad idea. It's very natural to need time to yourself during a trip. If people don't understand that; they aren't the kind of people you should be tripping around. Nothing's worse than being thought of as weird or an ass-hole for wanting time to yourself.

Here's the Big & Dandy First Time Tripper thread and the Big & Dnady Set & Setting thread
 
ha women.

your friend sounds crazy, and not in a good way.


A party with 30 poeple sounds like a dull place to trip. I know I'd rather be with another tripper or no one.

Best advice.

Tripping can make one seem strange, distant, ass hole-ish, aloof, whatever, especially to people who either don't trip, have never tripped, or don't think of tripping as an experience. Most people don't understand the kind of things that go on in someone's head as they trip. That's why you want better set and setting. (links posted above)


And btw, welcome to BL! Your question is the first on a long road of other questions. Much of what people do here is make psychedelic trips easier, more fun, and more meaningful to the user. Read up a bit and you should never have a trip like that again.


EDIT: I should clarify. You could still very potentially have bad trips, they just won't be in such a bad environment again (hopefully =D )



the only reason i asked is because she has been tripping on acid for the last 3 days, and i have no idea if she actually means it or not. and she said she was crying in her rooms for hours through the end of the night.

honestly im just extremely worried, i would ask her/ talk to her but she is M.I.A and for all i know she could still be tripping.

thanks guys.

Imagine the bad feelings you had during your trip. It sounds like she's experiencing the same thing, possibly to a much greater extent. It's called a "bad trip", and is quite horrifying. She should be fine though, I would just try to locate her and see how she's doing.
 
I guess it depends on the person...ive done acid with mates and at godskitchen...all was pretty good...just need tunes...water...and sunglasses if done in the day light...your eyes tend to get a bit sensitive.
 
First time LSD: What to do?

Hi, pretty self explanatory thread i guess.

My folks are away for the weekend so minus my sister who smoke weed every now and then anyway, Il have the house to my self and was gonna have a friend over for a pill. Either way, he brought up the idea of dropping acid instead which im not too keen on because I worry about bad trips and stuff.

Basically I was wondering what I could do to ensure that I dont have a bad trip and enjoy tripping should I decide to do it, it has been something Im interested in, I just dont want to be trapped for hours feeling like I wanna die. Would it help if I smoked weed before hand? I am pretty experienced with it. If not is there anything else I can do to make sure that it doesnt happen? except thinking positive things...

Thanks

Get the idea of you having a bad trip out of your mind will help. Be positive, be excited, be happy. Don't worry or be scared. first time LSD is wonderful. Though it may become intense for you at any point, you have to keep in your mind that nothing lasts forever and will soon go away, but while you're there take a minute to look around, you might learn a thing or two. ;)

Read First time reports on Erowid, they should help you get in the right mindset to a great time.

Be safe and enjoy :)

Bad trips on acid are rare, especially if the dose is reasonable. If you only take one or two hits of average quality acid, I bet you'll have an enjoyable trip that's not too overwhelming. :)

Dosage has less to do with a bad trip then set/setting.
 
Have a trip sitter for sure.

I had a trip sitter and still had a crazy trip,

Started great then i faded out and had a weird out of body expiernce.

Then shit got insane and i went on a life changing bad trip, but that only happened because they live in a old ass house and these huge acorns drop on their room and i thought we were being shot at cause its out in the country kinda :P

If you want to have some oxy's or something near by incase things get out of hand it should calm down ur trip a bit. Just don't smoke weed hoping it will mellow the trip it will intensify it. But if ur on a good trip toke up man.
 
Doing acid on friday

A buddy of mine has obtained some acid and we plan to do it this coming up friday. There will be no trip sitter, this will be the first time doing acid for both of us, and we are both doing one hit each.

I was just wondering if us both tripping is a good idea. We will be in a controlled environment and with only one hit each. I have never done a psychedelic before and i was wondering if its something like being drunk where you don't really know whats going on, and you don't have a lot of control. I mean would we go all loco and what not and start screaming and smearing food on the walls or what?

thanks in advance.
 
Its sure not anything like being drunk, no way. If you know for sure that the source is a good one and you keep in mind you're just tripping it should be fun.
Now, I'm basing this on my experience from the 'good ole days'...........I have no idea what the stuff sold is like these days.
 
Just one tab ea should be mild as far as these things go. Some people do report that taking less than 2 can actualy be more difficult than 2-3, but starting smaller is still a smart idea. With the token "everyone is different" disclaimer, i wouldnt be worried that 'you might smear food on the walls' ect. You still know whats going on, what planet your on, with just on one hit. That was what actualy suprised me the first time (which was 1 hit to). Inspite of the crazy things going on in and out side of me, i was still able to think logicly, had perfect motor control ect.
 
you are in control as opposed to alcohol's crappy falling down, unable to speak, passing out crap.. however, several times LSD has brought out different traits in me so that i intentionally did some strange things.. i've done things like trying to hang onto a tree branch and spin around, cutting my hand.. once i threw myself down a hill of pine needles in excitement, didn't get hurt, but i'm trying to illustrate that you will think back to the things said and done friday and laugh..! funny - one time a dude tripping in our group did indeed smear our food supplies all over a tree.. so you are thinking in the right direction.. hehehe.. (that is not everyone though - this was one guy and everyone yelled at him afterward)

i often think of acid and booze as complete opposites - one opens doors, one closes them.. one makes you lose your senses, one makes you finally come to them.. one makes you see cool things that aren't even there, one makes it hard to see what is there at all.. there used to be studies when LSD was legal where alcoholics were treated and sometimes cured with LSD therapy.. LSD takes you into the light - away from the bottle.. ;)

i don't mind going on further with this discussion, but reading on eroid is a great suggestion - you will get real explanations of what to expect..

so, yes - you are aware of what you are doing unless you take a large amount from what i know - if you ate like 10 hits - you would have a hard time being aware of reality or remembering what happened - on one hit - you will be EXTRA aware - you will see the world in crisp, warm detail.. =D

i am looking forward to my next trip.. i haven't had acid since 2000.... :p

i am super happy for you that you are taking your first trip!! i know it will be cool - be sure to report back here! :D
 
Acid can be way intense, especially if it is your first time. I am an experienced user and I can function just fine. However, for your first time you may have to learn how to operate in a new state of consciousness and you may fumble for words.

A few things to remember. LSD is not very toxic. Even if you 'get too high' its not going to hurt you. Dont freak out. The only real danger is doing something stupid while under the influence....oh, that and if you take certain anti-depressants like Lithium.

LSD can take hours to affect you. Dont assume its bunk and get behind the wheel if you dont feel anything right away. It might come on slowly or it might hit you hard when you were barely expecting it. It will last a good 10 hours probably.

Its best not to have any parents or police around when tripping. The less interaction with the neighbors the better. You want to avoid all contactur with non tripping individuals. However, if you do find somebody, just remember that they probably cant tell that you are tripping. They cant smell it. Your eyes wont be bloodshot. Even if the cops find you they wont be able to easily test you for it unless they bring you in, which isnt justified without evidence. Nobody can tell you are tripping unless you tell them. Even if you are experiencing the most intense sensations and altered consciousness and seeing odd creatures in the corner of your eyes, nobody can tell but you so dont trip about it. If anyone asks, you are tired/not feeling well and just want to lay down.

Its great fun. Its good to have some silly art projects. However, it might get difficult to concentrate so its also nice just to have a comfy place to lay back and watch a psychedelic movie or black light visuals. Dancing is also fun, but as its your first time i would recommend a secure home environment over a club scene.

Its good to eat fruit while tripping. I wouldnt really eat any other heavy foods.

I would mentally prepare ahead of time....the thing with acid is that you cant hide from yourself while on it. On a normal day if something is bothering you then you can suppress it or put it in the back of your mind....on acid, nothing is hidden. Everything comes to the forefront. So if you just had a serious argument and something is bothering you, do not take the acid. Wait until you are feeling ok both consciously and subconsciously or you will be forced to confront what is going on in the back of your mind.

Some people like to read some thought provoking philosophy before tripping. Others like cool visuals and psychedelic music.

Its great fun. Nothing like anything you have ever done before probably.
