Weed has a bad effect on me. Will LSD?

I smoked weed almost every day for about a year and then I cut down a lot - only smoking once or twice a month. Weed has always made me paranoid - When I smoke I feel like I can't swallow properly or breathe properly. I feel like all of my friends and the people around me look at me as if I'm really weird and I feel like everything I say is weird and stupid. I feel ugly and self conscious and like my clothing is too tight.

Worse than all that, I become irritated and angry really easily. I can't take a joke and any little thing that normally I wouldn't even notice, when I'm stoned just infuriates me. I've been smoking more than usual lately, because I tricked myself in to thinking I could control my paranoia. Last night I completely lost it and became violent. I'm pretty ashamed that something so drastic had to happen for me to really realise that I shouldn't smoke weed because it has a really bad effect on me.

The point of this post however is to ask whether I would be okay to try LSD? I know they are different but I want to be on the safe side and ask whether it would effect me badly? I am planning on being in a very comfortable environment with someone I really trust who won't be tripping and starting out taking only part of the tab (because I have heard from some of my tripping friends that the tabs I have access to are really strong).
 
It may and it may not. LSD is a different drug than herb is. I can get paranoid or anxious from herb but I don't have issues with breathing or swallowing and it doesn't happen all the time.

You shouldn't trip if you are anxious, depressed, or have lots of stress in your life.
IME LSD isn't just something that you just take whenever like most people drink booze whenever they feel like it or some people smoke herb recreationally this way.

Acid is different and not like herb but you won't know how you react to LSD (if it really is LSD and not a research chem being passed off as LSD) until you take it.
 
I personally almost never recommend psychedelics to people that don't take to the feeling pot gives them.

LSD is a completely different drug though, if you go into it with an good mindset, in a comfortable place with someone you trust, there is no reason to believe you can't enjoy a dose.

My only advice to you is, if you do decide to try it, tread lightly. Moderate to low dose of LSD is plenty for a first timer, especially if you have a history of not liking altered states of mind. Good luck man, enjoying LSD responsibly can have a wonderful impact on your life as a whole :)
 
Acid paranoia and anxiety is very different to the kind of paranoia, depression or anxiety you might get from pot. I very rarely hear problems with small doses of lsd but I know tons of people that dont smoke pot because itmakes them feel yuck/parranoid/bad. I think you should be ok and if you take a small dose you will know whether you want to do it again or not. Id have a full tab though, at least half wif their strong but I will usually take at least 2 even if I know they are really strong, would never take less but im a seasoned tripper but I can usually not even feel 1 tab.
 
It almost sounds like you're afraid of being "out of control" of yourself. So when you smoke, you get paranoid, and the other symptoms you mentioned..

..Are you the type of person that has to be in control of themselves at all times?

If you answered yes, then LSD is not the drug for you.


...Just my 0.02$, it makes sense in my head.

That does make sense, but I'm not afraid of not being in control of myself, unless I'm alone. I'll be doing this with somebody who I really trust and I know that they'll keep me safe, so that's not my concern. My concern was that I would become trapped in bad thoughts, but the more I think about it the less I am concerned, because I know that if I go in to the trip when I am feeling good about life in a good environment I'll be okay. And if its not for me, I guess I just won't do it again :P
 
For me, weed can produce profound states of paranoia and anxiety. If I'm smoking alone, with family or close friends, these effects are attenuated and can be controlled. I like the roller coaster effect.

LSD, IME, rarely causes bad feelings of any kind. I can happily trip in public or around people I don't know as well. LSD is generally much less anxiogenic than cannabis. But then again, I'm a hard head when it comes to LSD; I need huge doses before I start to really get into it.

Cannabis, for some reason, tickles that fear center of the brain much more than other substances.

I recommend what others said. Try a low dose of LSD before jumping into a full-blown trip. I've heard of LSD users who were barely in control of their actions, to the point of becoming violently angry or doing things like toppling bookshelves or running through plate glass. There is something to be said for self-control; it's the best form of control a person can practice.

Just keep in mind that it's a drug, that it will wear off, and remember the basic laws of physics so you don't attempt any potentially fatal activities.
 
You can do acid.

Most important thing is to remember it's just a trip, and not matter how intense it may seem, or how many thought-loops you get yourself caught in, it all ends in 12 hours. You will be fine.

If you go in with a positive mindset, excitement, and "positive vibrations," you'll come out with a great experience. Remember, tripping is an experience, good or bad, so ride it out and take what you can get. Even my "bad" trips were, in retrospect, good trips because they taught me something.

If it helps you, write a message to yourself and slap it on your door, something like "YOU ARE TRIPPING, IT WILL END IN A FEW HOURS, RELAX."

LSD has never presented a problem to me, I feel like it's to nice of a drug :) I prefer the physical feeling and mind expansion of lsd to mdma. Good mdma has always seemed like LSD minus the awesome visuals.
 
i get horrible anxiety from weed but am able to trip on lsd without any problems

hahaha that would be so fucking funny..

his parents walk in, "what are you doing?!", "read the sign".
 
Lol, I guess I assumed he was living in a dorm/apartment or had the place to himself. I always hated having to deal with the rents whilst tripping sack.
 
The trick to LSD is to "go with it". No matter what you're tripping on you absolutely must go with it. If you start to resist what is happening to you then you will have a bad trip and a bad trip on LSD is among the worst kind there is. If you feel you can totally let go and just be a part of the moment for 12 hours then you should be fine. Seeing as how you cannot do this even on weed then I would highly recommend you stay away from LSD. This is the main reason why I don't use this drug.
 
it is recommended generally that you stay away from psychedelics if you have a mental illness of pretty much any kind.. undue paranoia can be a sign of an underlying mental disorder.. if you do trip and have a terrible time - there is a good chance that you should be interviewed by someone to diagnose for mental problems..
 
Hard to tell until you've tried it. I too used to smoke often, several times a day, but have recently cut back to only a few times a month, tops. I now find that I'm not a big fan of the cannabis high anymore (mainly because I can only find brick weed since I moved), but I still love LSD and mushrooms (these too are now rare treats for me). Ultimately you won't know how you respond to it until you try it, but don't expect it to be anything like cannabis. I had been shrooming for several years before I had the chance to try LSD, so I was already quite comfortable with the experience having worked my way up from smaller doses. Personally, I prefer to drop 3+ hits, regardless of supposed strength, but if you're concerned about your response I'd start with at least 1 hit (though you may be disappointed, almost certainly if it's weak).
 
Bad idea I think lol. I don't want to scare you but I mean when you're on acid... you're on acid... and you're gunna enjoy the 12 hours of your life or you're gunna freak out and hate it... remember it can't really stop... and when things do stop I feel weird and gotta come down on like an 8th of dank to myself.
I used to get paranoid and stuff when I first started smoking and I would feel like I was breathing really heavy and my heart pounding and freak out when my parents were around, but not at all anymore... I think it's because I smoke atleast once or twice a day... but I would keep smoking see how you feel on the long run and then try to decide if you're up to acid or not
 


You sure you're getting LSD?

LSD doesn't have much of a body high at all, unlike DOx or MDMA/MDA.

Even mushrooms has more of a body high than "Real" LSD IMO, and real LSD feels nothing like MDMA. It isn't a pushy mood and besides if you take enough you're gonna have a mindfuck, that never happens on MDMA.

I think you got DOx'd, make sure your shit is legit. LSD is nothing like MDMA. DOx are comparable though, DOI and DOC are a lot like MDMA IMO. And have visuals that only "seem" to be LSD-like at times, but are their own thing.
 
While I agree, lsd and mdma have very different feelings, I have had some of the most euphoric experiences i've ever had with ANY drug on LSD.

If you don't tolerate weed very well, I'd start with something you can modulate the dose

You could try a gram or 1.5g shrooms first instead of LSD or whatever research chem is being sold as LSD.
 
Whatever you do, don't ever combine LSD and weed. I've had anxiety/paranoia problems with weed in the past; and smoking weed with shrooms or LSD always led to a bad trip during that timeframe.

On their own, I didn't have a problem with psychedelic drugs even though I had one with cannabis.
