The Big & Dandy First-Time-Tripper Thread

Alright, I took the blotter two fucking hours ago and nothing is happening...
I am pissed.
Paid 15 for that shit.
Could more time be possible?!?!

 

[Xorkoth]

It's quite possible that after 2 hours you wouldn't have peaked yet. But unlikely that you wouldn't have felt ANYthing. It could possibly be a DOX (like DOB, DOC or DOI), but I usually feel those before 2 hours too. They wouldn't peak until 3 or 4 hours though.

First LSD (kind of)

Many years ago I took some dry mushrooms, and had what people describe as a difficult trip, however that trip lead me making life changing desicions, I went to film school. Now I'm about to graduate, and I feel like I'm again at a decision making point in my life. So I'll take LSD sometime soon.

Over the past years I took LSD several times, but each time I took half or quarter blotters, and couldn't really let my self go as a result I either had sleepless nights wondering what to do or being somewhat uncomfortable around people. I also always have an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach which stops me from enjoying anything really. What always accompanied was the sense that I never am in complete control over my life.

This time I want to make things much more significant, firstly I will take it in the morning, spend my time mostly in the garden, not have people I don't really know or don't like much around. I'm gonna go in deeper and take a full blotter. And I have some questions to you ladies and gentleman.

1. Please name some music which isn't overwhelming some music thats really mellow but a twist is always welcome, Im not familiar with terms such as trance or chillout, or what counts as parts of these genres so be specific if you can, I like my music hard and brotherly but I guess thats not the kind of music I should listen to while under the influence.

2. I've read threads about Lsd, and although its not recommended by experienced users to interfere with the trip regadless of the direction it takes unless things are really out of hand, I still like to have some xanax ready, from what I understand .25mg is enough and I shouldn't go above .5mg is that accurate, also is klonazepam a good second choice? (I have access to rivotril) if so in what doses?

3. I always took it expecting to change my life for me which I now realize the wrong way to look at it, could this explain my insignificant experiences? Or could it be that I always swallow my blotter after chewing it for a couple of minutes is this a wrong way taking LSD?

4. Any idea on what to do about the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach?

5. Also on my previous LSD experiences I smoked weed non-stop, (I usually smoke once a day) and here I'm finding out that many people advise against it, is there a reason to it other than not knowing what to expect?

Bottom line is I want to a better person and along the way I want to have the memory of a significant experience behind me to give me support in my decision making in my path to achieve self sufficiency. Cheers to anyone taking the time to read or reply.

^ It's really quite simple... just relax and smile and be yourself, and eventually the acid will take you where you need to be. Don't bother trying to consciously guide the trip - it just doesn't work that way. (If the come-up is anxious, don't worry - those feelings will usually easily melt away once you start peaking, with perhaps some good to help the mood along.) Anyhow, yeah, Let Go and Just Be! A garden sounds like a great place to enjoy an acid trip.

Please name some music which isn't overwhelming some music thats really mellow but a twist is always welcome, Im not familiar with terms such as trance or chillout, or what counts as parts of these genres so be specific if you can, I like my music hard and brotherly but I guess thats not the kind of music I should listen to while under the influence.

Just listen to your favorite music, whatever genre it may be. Anything you're passionate about.


Also, there really isn't any good reason to smoke weed whilst tripping on acid - believe me, just take enough acid and it'll be plenty by itself for life-changing revelation and/or pure recreational euphoria, whatever your goal may be. I'd suggest, if your blotters are weak/medium strength, take a couple.

1. I've listened to all sorts of music while tripping, jam bands, trance, house, Peruvian soul, Zambian rock, electronica, a wide range of great music, but nothing compares to the incredible sound and bizarre and insightful philosophies of life of ABBA . Really anything with a pleasant or interesting sound is good, I'm not a fan of music that's hard while tripping but I also don't like music that's hard while sober. If you like (small) orchestral music at all consider Olivier Messiaen's Oiseux Exotiques.

3. I hold mine under the tongue for a while but I'm pretty sure it's mostly superstition and that if you put blotter in your mouth you're going to trip no matter what you do next.

4. I love that feeling, it sort of reminds me of the moment before an orgasm.

5. I'd save the weed for the end of the trip, but it can be great then.

As for significance it's not like you'll find career plans written on the back of the tabs. Just deconstruct the moment, where are you, how do you feel, who are you with, and go with the flow from there. Think about what you see that's important to you and what you see that isn't, and examine your values. Maybe you'll just end up laughing for a while, that's good too.

Hi guys!

I'm going to be taking acid for the first time in a few days, basically I have two tabs of what is "good" acid according to a mate who takes it a fair bit. Now, I've read over the thread and I know about setting etc, but I just want to let you know my plan.

I plan to take my first tab 2-3 hours before I leave the house, I'm going to be at my home with two good friends, who will be sober(they're taking stuff later), then we're going to go for a walk to the train station and catch a train to a music festival, then once comfortable I was going to take more.

I'm a fairly strong minded person and don't get freaked out by much, would anyone disagree with me doing this?

Will I be level headed enough to walk into a festival? I will have to walk past drug dogs aswell ^_^

Thanks!

Need Help Begining to Explor Psychedelics

Hello Bluelight members! Let me introduce myself: I am WillieWortel, I have am 19 years old, I just moved to Holland from Michigan. I really enjoy smoking weed, but I am also very curious about other psychedelics.

I have smoked weed, probably no more than a 100 times. I have a very high THC sensitivity, and when I am uncomfortable I get a little paranoid and anxious. I am very open minded and I really enjoy reading LSD, LSA, Mescaline, Mushrooms experiences at Erowid.

Here it is rather easy to get pretty much and of those drugs. And I am really interested in LSD.

But I have some problems: I won't have a sitter, I still don't have friends that I trust here. I am also not the type of person who likes to do stupid things, of course on THC you never feel like doing anything physically, and with boose I never did all the stupid things my friends did. I am a little homesick from time to time, but I am very happy with the person I am.

I am a very deep person also, I keep getting weird flashbacks from experiences I am sure never lived before, and I think are from past lives.

Do you recommend me to try LSD? If yes, tell me how can I set up the mood to avoid any bad trips. I live in Meidenblicht, very near from the isomere, which is like a huuuudge lake. I could maybe appreciate nature there? Or is it better in the comfort of my apartment?

Other thing about myself: When I usually get bad trip from weed is when I am in a very crowded place, with no possibility to seat, and many noise, or with no possibility to fall asleep.

And if any of you ever want to come here, and get a tour of the great coffeshops in Holland send me a message! haha!

Maybe you should wait until you have people you can trust to do that sort of thing with. If you get into some bad headspace, its always nice to have someone around that can help you out. You'll be amazed by the people that come out of the woodwork, if you just give it some time.

I have only tripped alone once, and I much prefer company to keep up a good mood. Your first trip on any new substance should never be alone, IMO.

+1! Grew up listening to ABBA in the car with my mom. It has it's own peculiar vibe to it that can be nice while tripping.

Your first trip on any new substance should never be alone, IMO.

There are 2 camps on this one. For me tripping with people just led to a very inhibited trip where the stupid rules of social conduct still applied. Leaving the group to stargaze or sit by the water was viewed as "weird behaviour" Most of the time tripping with people has just led to an inhibited trip with more anxiety.

I always trip alone. There's more freedom to do what you want, no inhibitions, no rules. Sure if you get caught in a hard spot you have to find your own way out of it and deal with yourself. This can be very rewarding however. You can go deeper and higher when your alone and there are no distractions.

Funny story - last weekend I was on DOM, and my wife and I started listening to music on one of the music cable channels. Some ABBA song came on, and it showed pictures of the group. I had never seen them before, and it really tickled both of us to be seeing pictures of them performing while hearing the song. They look nothing like we expected! It was indescribably funny. :D

First Time LSD Questions (Thread Closed)

I've been waiting for acid to arrive in my city since spring break, and it's finally here. I've been notified by my friend that this is good stuff, though I don't know what's good and bad since I'm not very educated with the different types, and that I should try it.

(I would read up on the Trip Reports, but of course when I need them most BL is cleaning up xP. I read all there is now, and will read some on Erwoid.)

I'm planning on buying 3 tabs. One for my first time, 2 for my second. I figure it's better to play it safe than ruin my experience.

Now my questions are briefly, "How long does it last?" "Should I be around my parents at all curing the trip" and "The visuals. [1 Tab] Are they just distorted like shrooms, or full on hallucinations?"

I know it's not advised, but I really don't have a choice with this, is that I'm not going to have sitter. It's not like blazing where I can "Walk the dog", come back and not have to worry about anything. I'm going to "Fish" at this small lake in my neighborhood because the nature will be nice, and I can have an excuse for being there for so long, but I don't know how long I should stay for. Also I have colored contacts so my pupils won't appear larger than normal.

Anyway, thanks for reading if you went this far and hope you can help. Once I get ahold of the little buggers and everything goes down, I'll be sure to submit a nicely written trip report.

 

[dread]

1. The trip lasts forever, in a way... but the acute effects will be over in 10-12 hours.

2. If your parents are ok with you tripping, then sure.

3. If by "full on hallucinations" you mean seeing pink elephants marching down the street and such, then no, you probably won't see those on a normal dose.

Sitters are not necessary. I personally find having a sober sitter distracting and useless. However, tripping with someone more experienced, who can act as a guide on your trip, is what I would recommend for first timers.

 

[justfitz]

Well I just got 2 hits of some "good" blotter tabs. When I drop them here in a day or two it'll be my first time, so i'm plenty excited. I had some great times on shrooms, and I'm glad I was finally able to get ahold of these doses.

 

[jamaica0535]

I'm planning on buying 3 tabs. One for my first time, 2 for my second. I figure it's better to play it safe than ruin my experience.

i would say 1.5-2 hits... It would be intense but if you can handle mushrooms 2 hits of LSD should not be anything you can not handle.... I tripped balls my first time and it was one of the most purely beautiful thing i have ever experienced but i was left thinking "i could have done more". I took 1.5.

Now my questions are briefly, "How long does it last?" "Should I be around my parents at all curing the trip" and "The visuals. [1 Tab] Are they just distorted like shrooms, or full on hallucinations?"

I would give yourself about 12 hours total. You will probably feel something like a little bit of anxiousness in the 45 minutes or so after taking it. From there it fades into tripping. The trip itself will probably last about 8 hours. and aftereffects might last about 14. Hour 14 is generally around the time i can sleep comfortably....

Are your parents fine with you tripping? If they are and your comfortable being around them, it might be fine.

on 1 tab you might get some distortion and movement of objects, mirrors are kind of interesting although what you see might not be appealing, just remember that its the acid that's making you see these things....

on 2 you will probably get some more intense fractals on surfaces and more movement.

I know it's not advised, but I really don't have a choice with this, is that I'm not going to have sitter. It's not like blazing where I can "Walk the dog", come back and not have to worry about anything. I'm going to "Fish" at this small lake in my neighborhood because the nature will be nice, and I can have an excuse for being there for so long, but I don't know how long I should stay for. Also I have colored contacts so my pupils won't appear larger than normal.

I don't normally advise a trip sitter at all, sober people annoy the shit out of me when im tripping.... stop waving your god damn hands in my face asking "you trippin man?".... I know only one person who i would have no problems hanging out with me while tripping, he will treat you like your sober...

What i do recommend is having someone to trip with, its awesome having a good friend who is experiencing the same thing. You have an outlet to share all of these ideas that seem so perfect with someone who will understand them...

Being around family kind of sucks, try to find some reason to get out of the house for the day and go down to a large park or something....

 

[The Winner!!]

About taking psyches at school. My mom told me her first lsd trip was at school and it turned her off of lsd forever, she told me its fucked her up to this day... So please, don't do psychedelics at school.

 

[jsnake]

I'm thinking about trying LSD, friends have talked about it, but not 100% on it yet. I've taken low doses of shrooms on 2 seperate occasions and I'm 19 years old. Been smoking hooch since I was 16 if that makes a difference. I think I have a strong state of mind currently, as I'm currently addicted to weed and am probably not going to sleep because this is my second night without for about 3 months since I quit the first time. What damage does it do and what are these rumours I hear about having flashback trips later in life? Anyone got any facts that might help me decide?

Slight concern over LSD

I have been given the opportuinty to try some LSD for the first time and i'm very keen to do so. I've been doing my research on LSD for nearly a year now and it's definatley somthing i would like to experience with a few of my friends that will also be trying it for their first time.

Now i have two concerns... the first being that i have somewhat a mild case of social anxiety (self diagnosed) where i find it difficult and sometimes uncomfortable to make conversation with people i don't already know. My concern is that LSD could make this much worse after reading about it's ability to somtimes trigger latent psychological and mental problems.

My second being that i've recently experienced what i guess would be quite intense paranoia whilst smoking cannabis. I very rarely smoke cannabis and have only done so say 20 odd times, and usualy it would be fine and enjoyable, except my last 2-3 experiences where i started to think my heart was beating extremely fast and intense, and that i was not breatheing enough (felt like i was only filling my lungs to about half capacity every time i took a breath). Am i likely to experience this on acid aswel? I know they are two completely different things but i thought i'd play it safe and ask as they do share certain qualities.

Anyway thanks to anyone who reads and gives their input, much appreciated!

 

[tBirdee]

The only thing i can say having never tried LSD, is if your feeling like any of the above will happen right before you take it, and your really not sure and think your gonna have a bad time, i would suggest saving it for another time when you are comfortable.

Everytime Ive done mushrooms and thought i was gonna have a bad trip, well, bad trip.
