The Big and Dandy Basic LSD (acid) Questions Thread (First archived 10-31-07)

Some nooby q's about LSD.

Hi, i've recently been thinking about trying lsd, not necessarily anytime soon but definitely one day, but i have a few (what may seem silly to you) questions i need answering.

A lot of people tell me it's really hard to 'handle', and it's easy to freak out, is this true? If so how could i make sure i have a great time without getting overwhelmed?

Also, when i smoke cannabis (not often as I've given up due to bad effects), i get very anxious, and very self-conscious about my self-image and question aspects of my personality (i hope you understand that lol), and it's very unpleasant, but does go away when the weed wears off, i was wondering would these sort of effects rise when on lsd?

Basically the only drug I've ever had bad effects with was cannabis, but then again the only drugs close to psychedelics I've used are cannabis and ecstasy.

I'm sorry if these questions seem stupid to you but they are serious, if i do try lsd i want to be able to enjoy it, the experience will be with close friends who i trust, and I'd want it so that we could just let go and have a great time.

And before you say it, i have studied lsd, the reason I'm asking here is because i want to hear advice from experienced lsd users =D.

Thanks!
 
As you know, an lsd trip can be upwards of 10 hours, since this is your 1st trip, you may want to look into something else, but if your mentally and physically prepared for a true lsd trip you *should* have no problem handling it.
I find cannabis to be the perfect addition to any drug, in fact I haven't yet taken a drug that would go bad with weed, hell I'm smoking a bowl right now as a matter of fact. I've never really had negative effects like the ones you mentioned from cannabis, so my perspective is obviouly different than yours.
 
yeah quite obviously so, i guess all people are different. it's not the duration I'm worried about either, my question was all about how to be in a good mindset, how to actually enjoy it, and whether the problems you have with other drugs (like my problem with cannabis) could surface under the influence of other drugs.

that thread sort of made me think about it.
 
Lsd is pretty much mind over matter IMO, but I take some time to meditate prior to an lsd or mushroom trip. If you think your gonna have problems with cannabis then don't smoke it, or maybe take it hit by hit and see how you feel after each one. Pretty much when I'm tripping or rolling, it's kinda like I can never smoke too much. The lsd/mushrooms/mdma/ect. is the dominant drug, and you don't feel the cannabis as much.
 
No matter what you do, DO NOT COMBINE 2 DRUGS ON YOUR FIRST TIME! (including weed)

You say cannabis gives you anxiety, I promise you that you'll have a bad trip on acid if you smoke weed.
 
the usual advise...set and setting and a sitter.

and don't do it in a bad mood. have uplifting music available (i prefer psy /goa trance)

i always found this odd, since it is the same with me too. but sober, i can not smoke pot. all the plethora of drugs i have done, and can work, talk to parents cops on a few hits of mdma/lsd/shrooms.....but 2 hits off joint and i am worthless. i just don't get that drug. unless of course on something else, they it is quite magic, and really intensifies the trip

opening poster, since it doesn't agree with you well either, experiment with a little hit at the end of trip when you still feel it, but feel healthy. i bet you too find it to wonderful then. the anxiety and usual feelings go away for me when on lsd (and mdma and shrooms)
 
I can't agree more with set and setting. I always advise (forgive me if I'm stereotyping but most people who are into psychedelics have some sort of spirituality to them) to do a little soul searching first, and ask yourself why you want to do this. Make sure its the right time, for the right reasons, and in the right place (you don't want to be doing acid just to "get high" and for the first time probably not in a crowded area, for example).

I've found my most unpleasant experiences have come when I forced it (like I came upon some hits and dropped them right away somewhere I didn't really want to instead of waiting), or when I did it for the wrong reasons (escapism, rather than to enjoy acid in itself or for more metaphysical reasons).

Of course your mileage may vary :) Enjoy!
 
Thanks for the replies everyone. I will definitely lay off cannabis when i decide to experience lsd no doubt about it, if i feel anything on acid like i do on weed i know I'll have a bad experience!

And about set & setting, i was thinking of doing it somewhere in the country side, away from everything, i would imagine lsd and town centres being pretty much incompatible lol. so yeah, any other advice on how i can make this a great experience without having to worry about anxiety etc? thanks.
 
Not really, it's better to ask about worries you're having and know what you're in for than to be like "yeah fuck it I'm ready give me some acid" without knowing anything about the drug, that could fuck you up. I'm not even saying I'm ready yet anyway, I'm asking for advice from people with personal experience, then when i do feel ready to try it I'll have an idea what to expect and ways to make the experience good, i think you'll agree that's a better method than just saying "yeah I'm ready", and putting myself through 10 hours of the unknown where anything could happen...

I find when people decide to try LSD without asking questions or doing research that they're not ready for it. This is a harms reduction forum; that sort of elitism is misplaced here.
 
How long to come up (lsd)

I ate 2 suger cubes that were coated with lsd, about 15 minutes after eating a sandwich with a glass of milk. It is now 1 hour 15 minutes after injesting the suger cubes. Do you think the food will cause the LSD to take longer to kick in?

Merged DOHP's new thread in here, as it is the appropriate place to ask basic questions such as this.

I am guessing you have some experience with LSD? Could you answer my question as I have taken the acid now, the question is no good being answered a day later.
 
It has probably slowed down absorbtion somewhat, but a small amount should not impact it too much. Plus, LSD is absorbed pretty quickly before it gets to the stomach. You should be okay, but some people do report come-on time to be longer after food. Personally, I have only done LSD a few times and I never took food before or right after it.
 
How about some people that swear by sublingually holding the tab beneath their tongue for only 1 minute, and then spitting the paper out? Is it true that all the acid is absorbed by then? I prefer to swallow it anyway just to make sure, but am curious.

oh, and food during a trip (particularly chocolate or ice cream) always, always lifts my mood particularly if I am meandering to negative territory. :)
 
I've been instructed to do that, and it seems when I did it I got everything.
Plus I've always thought(before that time) with swallowing a wad of paper that had chemicals on it would antagonize my body more, through the chemical immediately going in my bloodstream, not sitting in my intestines

its so valueble, who would ever want to lose it because they didnt store it correctly, ya know?
 
I recently got a small breath spray bottle with a good amount in it. It would work well for personal use or dosing friends at the time, but if I were to give a friend a few hits for later, what would be the best way to distribute it? I've thought about candies but I need a larger surface area since it's not just a drop. Gum might work but I'm not positive on how well acid works on it. Anyone have any ideas?
