I have been lurking these forums for quite some time now, mostly in the ecstasy boards and more recently the psychedelic section. I have been thinking of trying LSD at a bush doof (am i aloud to say that?). I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety due to a car crash and a few other things but at the moment it only sparks up every so often, is it a wise idea to try LSD in the state that i am in? I am a semi regular user of ecstacy (every two/three month) as well as recent experimenting with weed, where i had slight hallucination where things appeared to me as the way my brain thought things were (walking down a road and turns and trees where i thought they were in my vision when really they wernt at all). I had a slight panic which i was soon able to calm myself down and lay down
 
You really shouldn't advertise places where you will commit crimes in the future, although i hardly doubt any law enforcement is going to be like "yep, going there to get this guy" because they hopefully have better things to be doing.

Depends on the festival, some are great for tripping, others are the sort of thing that newbies would lose their shit at. More relaxed sort of camping weekend festival > UMF Miami with a sea of 90,000 people downtown in a park for frying.

I doubt it will make your anxiety worse, if it comes up, try not to fight it.... Simply take a deep breath, try to calm the chaos that is your turbulent mind for a second to look at the situation for what it is. Look at why this incident is still affecting you, and try to work to resolve it in a productive manner.

Thoughts and feelings have a way of manifesting on psychedelics even if they are repressed pretty deeply. You go into it thinking "I dont want to have a bad trip" and your still thinking about a bad trip happening. You go into it thinking "This is going to be a positive and productive experience for me" and it tends to take that direction.
 
^I agree, one thing that works for me is: I don't trip often, this will be a good experience because I will not have another soon and don't want to waste it worrying or having a bad time.
 
if your in a good setting with some good friends then you should have a great trip. I have anxiety and depression too and mdma effects that wayyy worse than lsd for me. My advice, don't trip too soon after rolling. First time i did acid was the weekend after a 4 day mdma binge and lemme tell you that was the worst trip of my life. I wasn't at a good point in my life and it was a bad idea to take lsd.
 
take acid with ecstasy and you'll never have a bad trip - or not for too long at least lol
 
just being honest I had a guy I met this last friday who was going to an event with us, he said he was planning on taking some acid.

I asked him if he had ever tried it and he said no.

Long story short he takes his tabs at the event dispite my recommendation that he should probably try it somewhere where he feels 100% comfortable and not around so many people.

He ended up getting delerious standing up off the couch at the event looking pissed as fuck, then he started yelling super loud and ran over to these random girls sitting down on the couch drinking their drinks and he started like pushing them around and hitting them and spilling their drinks while screaming. Then his friend who was also on acid sees what is happening runs over going "what are you doing?!? NOOOOO NOOO DONT DO THAT!!!! STOP!!!" but it was no use he was too gourded and once again to shorten it

first time acid tripper kid got arrested and since other kid was even with him he got taken to the hospital.

If you are unsure, DONT!

had that kid had this panic attack at a friends house, or if it was a friend of mine and i had him over to trip and he started acting like a maniac, I would have physically restrained him and held him until his wits came back, and he wouldnt have been hurt or arrested.

Its not worth the risk IMO. Ive never once had a flip out on any drug whatsoever and I have had plenty of opportunities, even been put into some really bad hectic anxiety ridden situations on them, but everyones different and some people just get too gourded. Dont take that risk and find out if your a gourder or not in the comfort of a secure home away from police or strangers
 
I would really recommend against taking acid for the first time around a large number of people especially if you are prone to anxiety and depression.

If you are feeling depressed you should not trip in the first place and also watch out with MDMA (ecstasy) because it can fuck up your mood even more I think. With anxiety its a little tricky but not impossible, just start extra low.

Would you decide to take LSD anyway do it first (for a good number of times!) in a safe environment with trusted people. If you have little or no experience with it small things can make you uneasy so in a home setting its adventurous enough. If you do it in an environment with who knows how many uncontrollable stimuli, there is a chance it can make you confused or scared and there would be no exit strategy.

Not wanting to scaremonger here, its just a very common rule not to mix psychedelics with settings you cannot control and issues like anxiety and depression. Like I said anxiety can be manageable and if you dont take anti-depressants and feel much more stable than you used to you could trip but still, be extra careful.

Saying you want to trip at a certain place is not considered incriminating enough, other wise bluelight would go batshit crazy over all the people saying they have similar plans or experiences. Unrealistic to worry about that part.
 
Thanks for all the help, looks like i am going to steer clear of LSD for a little longer. Is there anything like LSD but less risks of having a bad trip?
 
Well there's nothing like LSD but you could try mushrooms (if you haven't) for it's shorter duration. I wouldn't say you're less likely to have a bad trip though, it just won't last as long if you do.
 
Definately don't take your first acid trip in a public place surrounded by strangers. That's about the best way of getting the police involved in your "trip" that I know.

I took it at UMF and before dropping said "The purpose of this drug is to make me laugh, feel joy, and experience a vibrant soundtrack to life."

boy was that a good trip.

Although, a UC totally did send me to a weird place, then everyone started going down a bad path. I felt like it was my purpose to pave the way and protect my "tribe" to safety.

My learning from this? If you start to go down a bad path, figure out what the purpose of the path is. For me, people were scared and stressed, i was empathetic which made me a little scared and stressed until i realized that in this moment I could do a greater good by protecting my friends from the chaos. Once i found my role, everything was great! I was escorting a friend to the lake to relax and it was like everyone knew and got out of my way - as if i parted the sea of people (seriously, people were getting out of our way and supporting our quest). kinda cool

dude fuck that, mushrooms are way harder to control and IMHO way more visually intense than LSD.
 
the question i have is this, if you trip out at home, and start to have a bad trip, where do you escape to? thats why i like to trip outside of the home, gives you the feeling of having the option to return to your "safe house"
 
LSD can be an incredibly overwhelming experience at times. I'll go ahead and keep this short and sweet. Given that you have had a light panic attack on marijuana, I would not advise trying one of the most powerful substances known to man for your first time in an unfamiliar setting. Especially not a major social event. I would advise, that for your first time, you take it somewhere quiet and tranquil; and with an experienced, capable guide.

i think that weed is more likely to give me a panic attack than LSD, but then again, ive never taken a high dose
 
Well i am quite proud of myself, i went to this bush doof without taking any drugs at all. Over the next few weeks there is going to be a smaller event on near my friends place so i was thinking of trying it (low dosage a good idea?)there as well as taking some valium with me. Not sure if i can ask this but are there a good dosage to take if things turn pear shaped?
 
I agree that MDMA really wouldn't guarantee a good trip at all. The stimulation from acid can get to be so extreme that when combined with MDMA it might really freak you out.
 
Hits are on average weak these days, and although I started off with 1 hit on 2 occasions, these were by far my worst experiences with LSD. I didn't freak out or anything but I was definately a little anxious because, if you don't dose high enough, you may be caught in between sober and tripping, which is a shitty place to be. This is what happened to me, and I got absolutely nothing out of those experiences, and they almost turned me off of LSD. I didn't use it again for years.

I recently dropped 2 tabs and broke through into a whole other world, it was life changing and overall incredibly positive. In fact, it was so awesome that I dropped 5 tabs a week later, which was the most intense experience of my life, but still very very fun. LSD will put your mind in a very compassionate place which can be a catalyst for coming to terms with life issues. It is not an escape so you will definately be confronting your fears about the car crash and stuff. If you are cool about being honest with yourself, and you are in a great mood the day you want to take it, I really see no reason not to drop. Another thing is that your imagination can come to life, your memories can feel just as real as what you are experiencing around you. Just be ready to accept anything, put the car crash and stuff behind you, because that's in the past it doesn't matter right? You are here today and you are alive and you can be anything you want to be - LSD us not going to hurt you from this perspective.

My advice would be to start with 1 hit, wait a few hours, and if you arn't getting much out of the experience or feeling a little anxious, honestly I would drop a 2nd tab. Once you break through into the LSD world, you will know. Don't fight it, just go with it, and I really think that if you are in a positive state of mind, and positive place in space and time, you will be having such a great, mind-expanding time you will be beyond the thought of a bad trip. Oh ya, and it is physically stimulating, moreso than MDMA, so really, you might be pleasantly surprised by the euphoria you encounter. Another thing - fuck the Valium man, once you are high, you'll probably just laugh at how you even had that little thing. You'll think, what even is that shit haha? Pharmaceuticals are the fucking devil. Just don't be nervous!

And it is my opinion that anyone using MDMA on a regular basis should really switch over to LSD at least some of the time. It is far, far easier on the mind, and there is no down whatsoever - you will probably feel wonderful afterwards, possibly for weeks/months/eternity). And I thought MDMA was everything before I tried acid, but for me, acid blew MDMA (and ever other drug I have every tried - it really is next level shit) out of the water. And to be honest, I really have no idea how any intelligent person with a strong mind, strong body, and a love for physically stimulating, powerfully consciousness-altering drugs could ever have a bad trip on LSD. If you meet these criteria, and you know that deep down inside - regardless of any problems you have encountered along your path - that you are a good person, I say drop that fucking acid, I guarantee you won't regret it!
