so i took it for 1st time with my friend outdoor in nature .he done it before and during the trip he told me dont go too deep into visuals , he is thinking that can cause bad trip . I was looking forward to see some visuals but i only seen very few and not very intense. do u think its becuz of his comment ? or is it common to not having visual ? and is it really bad to focus on visuals does it make you panic ? how thats possible?
tnx
 
No doubt you are going to get a rush of people telling you that what you took was not LSD. In fact they have no idea of the LSD availability in your geographical area and social circles. So lets assume what you did was acid.

In my experience LSD is not particularly visual at lower doses so this is completely normal. Also some people are less sensitive to visual activity than others. It's not unusual to trip without visuals so don't worry. Also I question your friend's assumption that getting into visuals leads to a bad trip. Anxiety, confusion, fear and being around situations/people outside of your control lead to bad trips. Next time tell him to stop fixating on things going wrong and start enjoying himself.
 
Low doses of LSD do not really cause noticeable visuals but, still has pronounced mental effects. Especially, if you are new to LSD. Someone who has done LSD a bunch may be more aware of the effects and pick up on the visuals around them a bit more.

As for focusing on visuals... There is nothing wrong with focusing in on particular visuals. Trip anxiety will be different for everyone based on many factors. Especially, the setting.
On higher LSD doses it becomes impossible to not be completely immersed in the visuals.
 
Oh that's just perfectly normal, I'm not really visual prone myself and not having visuals on LSD is definitely not unheard of. If you're confident about tripping then try 2 tabs next time, then the visuals will start to show themselves

If you got an NBOMe then it would've surely been visual

not necessarily. I did 400ug of 25i and it wasn't visual at all, some slight disturbance and very minor cevs, but really nothing changed. 800ug was a totally different story though.. but there is another poster on here who claimed to have done 1mg on a tab and didnt get any visuals. So even the nbomes are dose dependent. I definitely was not sober at all on 400ug but didnt have much of anything visually.
 
Most NBOMe blotters I've seen are laid at 1mg which should be extremely visual for almost everyone, there's a good chance that other poster had some tolerance or just a bad sublingual technique. At any rate you'd have a much larger chance to get visuals on an NBOMe than to have visuals on LSD on a single tab
 
Low dose LSD is not visual at all, at least in my opinion. Haven't had a high dose yet, but I think that might be different.
 
Sounds like you just didn't get enough to experience open eye visuals. The visuals typically do not induce panic or fear, even if you focus on them. I could imagine they might if you had not known you had ingested a psychedelic, but it sounds like you are keen to experience a new state of consciousness.
Did you have any change in head space? Were colours brighter? Did you laugh a lot? Any profound or interesting thoughts?

oh yea thoughts . all sort of thoughts coming and going in matter of seconds didnt even give me time to analyze .at one point i wished there was subject at school to study psychedelic so in 2, 3 generation people views on psychedelic would compeletly changed for better. i also was reading my friends mind wrong or right analysing his movment and body language and tone of his voice. that was crazy .pho0o!! and thinking he is doing same thing at same time . some not pleasent but overall great .
no brighter colors i could notice but what i was seeing in nature it was like postal card or 1080p hd videos : like you watching beautiful scene in a movie sort of thing .

Ive had sugar cubes laid with L well over a decade ago now when i think about it ! but i found those to sharpen the mind but not to be particuarly visual at all, Though i did only buy them twice and did drop them on top of pressed rolls both times, but dropped the chance of obtaining them when a small trickle of marvelously strong visual and introspective type of Microdots came through, and dropped them with my ecstasy at the time instead, as i favour the more colourfull trips myself if possable, as i was realy into nightclubbing and jumping around on the Md, so i chose the more visual dots to create a more intresting edge to run along. and ive spoken with an older friend who hit the scene much earlier than me in a differant circle than me of course, and he said that they used to get a type of blotter called " Window paines " Sp ? " And he said they were very giggly and had uncontrollable laughter on the peak, but he never tripped visually from that particular type of blotter .
My friend said he realy liked them, and would often try and specifically source them over other types in the area at the time, because of the other very enjoyable aspects to the " Trip " From them.
 
definitely nothing to worry about--this happens all the time with lower doses. however i feel like visuals are a good indicator of the intensity of the trip (for me!), if there arent really any visuals, i can afford to dose a little higher. if i was in this situation, i would take two to three times what you took OP.

Same as ^^^ Or try some differant tabs, if theres any available to you, but if so stay safe, and start small with anything new obv's .. To test the waters as it were .
 
My vision gets sharper (likely due to dilated pupils, mebbe something else going on too.)
Sometimes I see trails or "breathing" walls if I stare...
But I don't see full on hallucinations on a tab or two of acid.

Once my vision felt doubled/tripled/infinitypled n then I had a seizure -.- so if it gets TOO overwhelming/intense, lay down and have a friend near you.
 
IMO it is better not to focus on visuals because high expectations can make it much easier to get disappointed. Typically I got the best trips from being surprised by effects I was not anticipating. Just letting go regarding what might or might not happen is also generally very good as a prophylactic remedy against panic. But it doesn't hurt to keep in the back of your mind that lowering your guard so much that you fall into a meditative trance can cause you to go extremely deep, which can bring you to a point you are not prepared for. So keep it somewhere in between and you should be golden.
 
I took acid once that turned out to actually be 25I-NBOME, and I took 6 tabs, so I believe I may have OD'ed a bit. If that was 6mg, it would explain my minor HPPD I developed subsequently. Fuck that dealer. Anyhow, in response to the OP's question, I'd have to say that if you take small amounts of LSD you're likely to get no visuals. I have only had vivid hallucinations from acid once and that was on like 15 or 16 hits.
 
In some rare individuals, LSD causes no visuals whatsoever, regardless of the dose. They get all of the other effects, like body load and defragmentation of mind, but they see nothing.

I used to know someone like this. He tried to counter it with heavy doses, but all it did was put him flat on the ground.

I've also read that some ketamine abusers permanently lose their ability to have visuals while on LSD, but I haven't read research confirming this.

That's definitely not true regarding ketamine abusers. I just did 2.5 hits on Saturday and had an excellent trip. It wasn't a super strong trip by any means but I was getting visuals, everything was sharper, lots of trails, everything was more colorful and vibrant. The ground/objects had some amazing patterns to them. One of the better trips I've had in a while.
 
I don't know about the new RC's that have popped into the mainstream in the past 5-6years, but LSD is the only thing that gave me that chaotic thinking process on a loudspeaker. My ears would hurt my thoughts were so loud sometimes. If you know it's LSD for sure, go big, but I am one of those who laughs at the idea of 3-5 modern hits being a heavy dose, lol(see)...

I tend to would panic without experiencing visuals. Waiting or wondering what's going to happen, after already knowing what to expect, got to me, and after a while, I learned not to expect anything. This can happen to anyone with experience as well...I had a few occasions similar. LSD is weird, and it's really not something someone can give advise for, other than don't mix certain chemicals with it and just sit back and hold on. I'm rather surprised people didn't go rampant on the fact it wasn't LSD, but I suppose that is due to the types of posters getting to the topic first.

Just remember: you're not going to die, you can't fly, you will come down, and have fun. A roller coaster might always seem scary in the beginning, but at the end, if you didn't let go, you'll regret not being able to enjoy it. Unless you're just crazy, but you would've already have learned that on a low dose...maybe.
 
I forgot to mention my friend who took it with me (same dose) had visuals . and it wasnt tab it was dot !
