Weed has a bad effect on me. Will LSD?

^Iv never had anxiety during a trip due to weed. Usually it helps me relax, but yes it does often make things more intense.

I dont get anxiety from weed normally so my advice may be pointless to the OP.
 
Killo, I'm sure it's LSD. I've had several other psychedelics and hallucinogenics, and am lucky enough to score some solid liquid or blotters a few times a year (I wish more often ><).

I guess I should have specified that LSD can create a more euphoric atmosphere than I've ever experienced on any other drug, YMMV.

I agree, weed has alway been an important part of all my mushroom and lsd trips. Of course I quickly learned that you have to roll all your blunts before you are trpping...becuase it is close to impossible (atleast for me) if you are trippin out hard.

But weed has always just made my trip better, if anything it even calmed me down if I was feeling kind of weird or something on the come up.

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.

QFT. I would recommend getting reaaally stoned and trying to convince yourself "this is only a drug, in 1 hour I will not be this stoned". Try that and see how it goes. If the paranoia is still persistent, you can bet your ass it will be around when you are on LSD. The advice I have given people is simple. If you are not 100% down for LSD, wait. It's that easy. There is no sense dropping acid now and having a horrible time when you could just wait a few months until you're mentally ready and have a great time. Generally if you have to post on bluelight asking a bunch of strangers "could I handle LSD?", then you are not ready.

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

Not much to say about this one. He basically nailed it by saying "when you're on acid, you're on acid". There's nothing that will really abort a trip if it goes sour, make sure you realize this before.

That being said, there are really not "bad trips". There are only difficult trips. Convince yourself of this.
 
it took me a long time to realize also but pot makes me an asshole, to be honest, ego-inflation, i've seen it happen to others too, only a few it doesn't. It makes me mean to my fiance, dunno. LSD and other psychedelics do the opposite :)
 
I had the exact same problem actually (breathing, swallowing thing) I got over it before I tried LSD. The thing about LSD is that you are totally at the mercy of your emotions, especially paranoia. If you get paranoid, your heart rate speeds up, making you more paranoid, increasing heart rate and so on. Every emotion you experience on LSD will seem more intense and profound. I find emotions tend to snowball (especially bad ones) unless you get your emotions in check.
 
Weed and LSD are very different. I often get some of the same side effects from weed as you do (if we're talking about Cannabis sativa, not indica, here), but old Aunt Lucy hasn't been a problem for me at all. Granted, this isn't a guarantee that LSD won't/can't affect you badly, but if you're going to try it I just wouldn't worry about it (since worrying about it probably will make it happen - mindset is important).

Hey, it doesn't just especially blow up bad emotions, it indiscriminately makes any emotion much more intense, in my opinion.

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 sounds like advice more suited for shrooms than LSD. You'll probably, hopefully, get some moments where your mind is blown to where you could slip out of control for a bit, but for the most part you're actually more in control of the trip than you might realize. With shrooms, though, you get really disoriented and your short term memory seems to go down the tubes, especially at high doses, so you have to be prepared to "let go"... trying to stay in total control of that is an uphill battle. A very steep hill.

I was quite scared of trying psychedelics, because weed makes me paranoid.
So I thought it was possible that it would be 10x worse when doing mescaline. It wasn't! It was a great experience!

Why is weed so popular anyway?
 
Weed also makes me paranoid, uncomfortable, and basically in a bad headspace if I take enough to actually get really stoned.

But LSD? Completely different. I mean, yes, there are situations where I've taken it and had a bad trip, but it's always due to being in the wrong setting (ie. a party with scary dark psytrance, or going to the park alone and forgetting to take water on a hot day). But in the right setting, LSD makes me happy, giggly, my thoughts feel clearer and everything seems more connected and RIGHT in general. I usually don't get paranoid or any other mindset problems.

Things that can ensure a good trip: tripping with good friends that you feel comfortable around, being in or near a safe and warm house, being in or near a space where you can have privacy to be alone if needed, having things to do to keep yourself occupied...
 
personally weed is the only psychedelic i freak out on consistently. i cannot smoke weed unless i got a 40 or two to pound.

lsd and other 5ht2a psychedelics i have no problems with unless i dose with shitty set or setting.
 
I cant even walk around with an ipod on, earphones in ears, after smoking some green(while not tripping), because I get so paranoid at the fact that I can't hear what's going on around me.

When I'm tripping, I really couldn't care whats going on around me. I have been paranoid before, but thats because I forgot momentarily that it was a trip, but a friend told me "We're tripping man, its okay, its not really there".

Don't worry about it, maybe don't smoke green with it your first time, but I would recommend it to you, another time, if you enjoy LSD.

Just relax, go with the flow, listen to what the universe has to say, and fly that magic carpet across the clouds, to the sun, loop around the stars... and back to earth..
 
Weed aint that great. Drugs that are considered "harder" have treated me better then weed. DO NOT smoke weed when coming up or 5 hours before ingesting lsd. Stop smoking weed just cause everyone else does. It took me a while to realize weed was worsening my anxiety and I was listening to other people and not my body's responses. I'll still smoke it once in a while to enhance music or a movie but I cant seem to get anything accomplished except weight gain when Im fried.
 
Thanks for your advice everyone.

I ended up tripping at an awesome Psytrance fesstival in the bush over the weekend and it was the most amazing experience of my life. I had a few moments that were pretty scary (my boyfriend got really sick and was vomitting uncontrollably for about half an hour) but overall it was the most beautiful, crazy, mindblowing thing and I experienced nothing like the paranoia I get from weed.

LSD = <3
 
I am the same. I used to smoke like a chimney. But now I get really severe anxiety from smoking weed. But. Psychedelics are fine. Just as long as you don't smoke weed with them. You can't compare saying that if you can't handle weed you shouldn't mess with psychedelics. Because the reason people like you and me react the way we do to marijuana has to do with how our brain interacts with the chemicals in the weed. lsd, mushrooms, fuck, even dmt, are made up of completely different compounds. So don't worry. You go and enjoy your adventure.
