Small dose lsd to prepare for high dose?

[RecoveringPothead]

Would it be reasonable to say that if I want to drop 4 or 5 tabs in a few days with little experience at such doses that it might make the trip easier to handle by taking one single tab tonight so I have at least some tolerance.

If I only took one tab I would have a tolerance 3 days later but not enough to really ruin a 5 tab trip or am I wrong.

This small amount of tolerance could theoretically allow me to go on that high dose trip being more prepared by having a bit of a tolerance and the mild trip fresh in my mind or am I wrong?

I say just go into it without any tolerance. What's the point of taking a high dose if you don't want the effects to be as intense? IMO you should either jump in (which I've never regretted) or dose lower.

Good point. If I'm going to jump in I may as well do it wholeheartedly and without reservation.

However let me try to explain this better. The goal in having some tolerance wouldn't be to reduce the intensity per se (although it obviously would to some degree) but to sort of prime my mind to be in a "let it go let it be" sort of mindset to reduce the "shock value" for lack of a better phrase.

The goal would be to still have a very intense trip but already be in the lsd frame of mind, so to speak, so its easier to let go and go along with whatever comes my way.

maybe instead of doing 1 tab and then 4-5 tabs a couple days later, just take the second trip down a notch to 3-4 tabs and forget the first trip. That way you will still have a pretty intense trip but dont have to worry as much about not being able to handle it. Im not a fan of LSD in low doses.

I'm thinking that might make more sense. Last time I took a high dose it was the most intense I've had. Took 2 tabs then 2 more 1hr 45mn into the trip. I feel as though I should have taken it all at once.

It was getting intense...not a bad trip by any means but it was odd and there was a discontinuity about. It got super intense and the sky started turning into fractals then I felt fear as if I had to hold on to the arm of the fractal I originated from (from the perspective of my higher than ever before mind.)

I suspect from my more mellow trips that if I was able to surrender to what was happening the fear would have turned to joy and I also suspect that not redosing could reduce the confusion I was experiencing.

5 might be pushing it. I like the idea of ego death but no idea translates into experience one you've launched into the experience haha.

I also had the insight (could have just been fear but I'm inclined not to dismiss it) that this level of high was awesome but at the same time the limit of what I am ready for.

Perhaps 3 all at once, 3.5 max would be just what I need. Perhaps the ego death that sounds so amazing in theory is just something for another time in my life.

I have a limited number of tabs to work with (9 1/3 after taking 1 2/3 a week ago) so I'm trying to decide how to make the most of them without shooting too low or too high.

It comes around so rarely that its so tempting to shoot for the stars but I have to be fully commited to that before making such a decision. I can take 4 trips to mars or one trip to the big bang with still enough left to get me to mars some other time haha.

Just do it with the intent you'll be enlightened... that the whole point, no fear only confidence... you'll be awesome

That is my intention. I am ready to at least combine the two doses of two I took last time into one dose of 4. Ultimately it will depend on how the vibes are in my head. I don't know anything about what happens when you take more than 4 divided into 2 doses of 2. All I know is things started getting a little scary but I also learned from that trip how ambiguity about what to do was fucking it up. It wasn't the dose that was the problem it was the set and setting.

I'll probably follow Terrence Mckenna's advice of silent darkness this time.

The one thought that I can't seem to get rid of is the thought that I was as far out as I wanted to/was ready to go (my do not take more than this amount thought) but after coming down I found myself wanting to go beyond that.

So I must recognize that thought for what it was, the voice of fear. The "voice" beyond the fear says "Now's your chance so go for it!"

Just take a high dose your first time. You can always take a low/moderate dose later. But make sure what you are taking is actually LSD.

Taking to low of a dose can be a wasteful tease. Take at least a full standard dose. Then go for the epic dose in future. As long as you do your homework and know what your getting into some what then psychodelics are very safe and blissful and arent usually negatively overwhelming unless your mind lets it therefore you letting it. Eye have a trippy mind so trippy drugs are in sync with me very well.

I dunno. I'm a huge fan of low dose LSD, and I think it's also a great way to dip your toes in the water. Some people even prefer to begin a high-dose trip with a smaller dose, and then redose an hour or two later to push it to the next level.

Thank you all for your helpful input. I have a question regarding this issue.

Last time I double dosed. Took 2 tabs then 1hr. 50min. later 2 more. If I was to take all 4 at once how much would you guess (because I know the best anyone can do is guess based on their experience) I could anticipate the subjective effects to increase compared to last time.

In other words last time I split the 4 tabs into 2 doses of 2 spaced apart by almost 2 hours.

If this time I were to take all 4 at once do you think I might get subjective effects 50% higher than last time. If that is off could you estimate what percent increase it would yield to take 4 again but all at once?

If I wanted a 50% increase in effects would 4.5 be a more likely way to get there?

Thanks again. I set sail tonight!

Edit: I will know soon enough

You should sit. Let gravity ground you. Mot westerners use their heads as the center of gravity, cause that is where their thoughts and identity reside. Feel your ass settling into the cushion. Fell your center in your hara, in your belly. Keep your spine straight, and allow the ribbons of tension in your maxo facial muscles in your face, please the tension in the roof of your mouth, allow your scalp to relax. Be aware, open, and the thousand petaled lotus will bloom on it's own. It won't happen as fast as it did when you grew it open with LSD 25, but it will stay open longer, and it will respect your discipline in opening it with your own consciousness rather than chemicals.

lol. want to take LSD? here, why don't you instead start a meditation practice that will take 20 years to come to fruition.

(not that meditating is a bad idea or anything, but they are two completely different things)
