Hello all, first LSD trip.
#14279814 - 04/12/11 07:34 PM (12 years, 9 months ago) |

Hey erryone,
First of all I'd like to introduce myself. I'm an 18 year old guy from Montreal. Last year of high school. Hopefully college next year. I like playing competitively computer games, I like drawing and 3D animation. Music is a big part of my life. I mostly enjoy Electronic music but listen to just about anything as long as it sounds good to me. Right now I'm into Dubstep, but other than that I like bands like Pink Floyd, AC-DC, The Doors etc.
My experience with drugs is very little. I smoke weed once or twice a week. I don't smoke a lot either. I need about 0.2 grams in my spliff to get high so that's pretty neat since it's cheap and it doesn't bother me at all. It's not like I'm on a diet or something that I follow... it's just that I feel like smoking that much per week since I don't want to mess up my studying like last year when I'd smoke each day at school. Other than that, I've tried Salvia twice. First time didn't go so well. All it did was make me laugh and hear things that weren't actually there for a few minuts. No visions or anything. Second time was better. No weird sounds or laughter, but had somewhat of an intense experience and visions. I felt like the reality was destroyed and I'd never be able to go back. Ended up with some weird stuff. It was fun and I'd gladly do it again.
Now on to the matter at hand. I bought a blotter of LSD a few months ago and this Friday is the ideal day to take it since I have the whole day to myself since mom goes to work in the morning and comes back later at night on Fridays. The other factor is that there is no school that day giving me the possibility to take the hit in the morning and be done with it by the time she gets home.
So, what's the problem? Well, since it's going to be my first time I have a few concerns I'd like to take care of so that I don't think about them while I'm tripping and instead focus on the actual trip without any worries.
First of all, I'd like to say that I've done my homework for this particular drug. Visited other forums, read stories, effects, bad trips, good trips, what setting is ideal, what should and not do while on lsd, how one's Ego comes into play. Schizophrenia and LSD, What to do in case of emergency, and all that.
What I've done so far is that I've decided to split the hit which I'm guessing is around 100mgs in two. This is a decision that I'm happy with for my first trip. Half a hit, get the idea of how LSD works and become familiar with it. I'll be having some friends around that I trust though I won't be indoors. I'll be outside with them. This leads me to my first question: I will take the lsd in the morning, and go out to meet up with the guys a little bit later. What concerns me is if I will be able to maintain a certain amount of reasoning and logic to be able go out and know the way to the meeting place, also the ability to stop at the red light, walk when it turns green. Basically pay enough attention as to not get hit by a car or something. I'll be taking a bus but still, I'd rather not wander off. Even if I can't see the colors straight, will I have enough of my mind left to be able to say to myself something like: "ok I'm seeing that cars are passing and people are chilling at the sidewalk so I guess I'll chill with them. Ok cars seem to be stopping and the people are starting to cross so that must mean that it's safe to cross". Stuff like that.
Next thing I'm wondering about is the length of the trip. I've read that it can be from 7 to 12 hours with afterglow. My concern here is if when I get home and the effects haven't worn off completely, will I be able to appear as if I'm not on anything in front of other people that aren't supposed to know. I'm guessing that I will since it will but I'd still like to be sure and maybe get some info on what the afterglow is exactly and what happens in that period of time.
Finally, I'm wondering if LSD makes you talk to imaginary stuff. I don't wanna look silly in public. Depending on this, I might ask a friend to come pick me up instead of me going alone.
When I leave I'll have a bottle of water with me in case it's hot outside or in case I just feel like drinking some water xD, along with that I'll have my mp3 player and listen to some ambient music - Dj BlueOrb sets. The rest will be dubstep which I might not listen to until way later. No additional trinkets or stuff on me except keys so that I don't have much stuff to look after. Probably gonna tie my shoes which I don't ever do cuz I don't wanna have to be checking for that too. Prepare clothes for the weather on that day. Don't wanna get caught in a hard rain with only a t-shirt rite.
Thanks to erryone, and I'm glad to be a part of the shroomery.

First of all, I wouldn't suggest only doing half a hit for your first time. You should probably just go with a hit, half a hit wouldn't get you that high and it would be kind of a waste of a blotter.
I would also suggest you do not go on the bus while tripping, or be in public areas in general, you're gonna want a nice place that's not too public, but also has a good view of nature whilst tripping, although your house would do just fine.
Third is, I definitely would not recommend going to hang out with sober people high on acid, it's just not good vibes, at least to me, also, they might try to sketch you out, and that's NO fun on LSD, trust me.

hey, thx for the reply.
I was kind of thinking of taking the half hit so that I would be able to go outside instead of boring ol' inside. That way I don't freak out but still get to experience the LSD even though it will be weaker. It's not that expensive so I'd rather just take it slow. Even if I stay at home I wouldn't take the whole thing cuz I wouldn't have anyone to be with me in case something goes wrong, and I'm not sure I would be able to take care of myself if the occasion arises. As for my friends, I doubt that they'll fuck with me because they've had their share of bad trips and I trust them.
This is the way I see it... I could be totally wrong though. Maybe it really IS an awful idea to do what I wanted, but I'm just looking for a way to make it work. :P

100mgs of acid would be enough to fry you for life bro. 100 micrograms sounds more like it.
anyway dont overanalyze it...even thow its natural to have some anxiety before your first trip.

i took 2 hits the first time i tripped and walked around town and hung out with sober people. The acid turned out to be pretty weak, which was not necessarily a bad thing, and sober people were kind of interesting but also kind of annoying, btw i was tripping with another friend, which is also a good thing to do your first time. i definitely would take at least 1 hit. if you take a half of a hit, you will probably end up wishing you took more. also, if you get tripping pretty good, hanging around at home and listening to music, drawing, etc. would probably be much more of a fulfilling trip.
just my 2 cents

50ug is barely over threshold dosage. More like headache medicine than a recreational drug. If you're right about the dosage (which nobody can say for sure) then you would experience little to no observable effects. I'd personally recommend two full hits BUT if you REALLY want to take it slow that one hit will suffice.

I don't reccomend going out in public on acid. Like the other dude said, you don't get good vibes off people in public. Also, if these people you are meeting with aren't tripping either than I say avoid them too.

The "afterglow" is an immense feeling of well being and good vibes that follows an acid trip. I always get this but some people claim to experience a "crash" (the opposite) after using LSD. I guess it's because they take LSD while tired while I make a point of ALWAYS dosing after waking up. As for being able to handle yourself around other people I will tell you this - you WILL BE OFF BASELINE. People that don't know you probably wouldn't know the difference but those that do will definitely be able to tell that you are not baseline (baseline refers to a set of behaviors a person usually exhibits). That being said many deception experts will tell you that being off baselines doesn't necessarily mean that you are on drugs or up to no good. People get off baseline when they hear good/bad news, have a great/terrible day or are just plain ill (have a headache).
My advice is to just let yourself act off baseline, people will notice but that doesn't necessarily they will jump to negative conclusions. If they ask you if you're on drugs try not to get defensive. Just smile and say "my drug is LIFE!". If you really feel like you can't handle yourself around others and this is giving you bad vibes - tell the people that you have a severe headahce and that you need to lay down.

i hear ya... well it seems like I'll be chilling at home then. I could always do it outside later on.
I've got my two halves so I'm pretty sure I'll take one at first. If I don't feel like it's as good as it could be, I could always take the other one too.

thx for the replies guys.
hey, thx for the explanation. The only person I don't want to know what I've done is my mom who will be back after about 12 hours after I've taken the drug. (take it (9:00 in the morning after waking up. this is the usual time I wake up in order to feel good through the day. Mom comes home around 23:30)
thx for the replies guys.

I agree with the other posters. Definitely take the whole tab, a half probably won't do much. Taking half at first and then the other half later on does not increase the intensity of the trip, but does make it longer. Taking it all at once is probably your best bet considering your time constraints and desired intensity.
Also, I do not recommend being in public while tripping. One hit or one half hit probably won't be so much that you'll be acting weird in public, but being around people you don't know can send some bad vibes. If you're taking the bus to your destination it would be best if you were with someone, or at the least not tripping on the bus.
Other than that it seems like you have a good plan. Have fun and good vibes man!
Edit: I just saw you said you'll probably take it at home, I missed that initially. That's probably better than being in public your first time, especially since you don't know how it'll affect you. Invite a friend over if you don't feel comfortable alone, but I've found that solo trips can be just as fun, and sometimes even better than with others. Definitely go outside if you can, I haven't tripped outside yet but I will be in about a month; I hear it's amazing!

well I guess I'll just take the whole thing then. I doubt that it'll go wrong since the conditions are just fine, but I was wondering how easy it was to turn a nice trip into something horrible... What are some stuff that I should not do when I take it?

lol I'm not sure at all. I trust the guy that hooked me up. Though honestly, I'd rather have it weaker than too strong and regret it later. I'm not an experienced drug user so yea.. xD

IDK, bud...I completely understand your logic, but LSD isn't quite like booze or buds. I dont think you're going to lose your cool or anything off 1 hit, ESPECIALLY if you're going in as well educated as you say...
For example, I have some (weak) L that if I take 1 hit I just feel gross and nasty at the threshold dose, but higher doses just feel good man
Its like losing your virginity, you can only do it once...May as well go for the hot blonde instead of the fatty craterface...
You'll do as you please, which is good, but we're saying this for a reason, an experienced reason..

i took two my first time as well. the only part that was overwhelming was being around sober people, people that have never tried acid. this was Very annoying, because they just wont understand what you are experiencing and they wont be on your level. if theyre good friends, it probably wont be annoying if youre just chillin...
definitely take the full hit; if its good acid, youll be in the zone at the peak. couldn't hurt to have some weed on hand. and my afterglow lasted atleast 24 hours; you wont be tripping but still thinking slowly. have fun dude
-------------------- I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

I've read that LSD isn't supposed to be a light show, but rather a mind challenging experience. Basically, my deepest concern is the visuals. What I mean is that I think I'm more afraid of something that I would start seeing that I wouldn't want if case something goes wrong. What I'm not so much afraid of is my thoughts. I'm the kind of person that likes to be alone and just thing about different things on his own so I'm pretty confident in my mind and it's ability to handle and rationalize anything bad that might happen.
Thoughts?

Haha
It's hard to explain, but after your first time you will understand.
Psychedelics have the most profound effect on your thoughts. It's basically the opposite of what you fear.
LSD is a psychedelic not a deliriant. It wont make you see pink elephants, or talk to invisible people it will simply alter your perceptions of things.
Either way visuals simply reflect that state of mind your are in. If you are having a good time, you will interpret your visuals as good. If your having a bad time, you will most likely fear your visuals.
I describe LSD visuals in this post a little bit.
LSD has the most profound effect on your thoughts. The ability to understand what is going on, where you are, who you are and what you're looking at. Most people that have bad trips have them not because of the visuals or "hallucinations", but because they feel like they have "lost their mind" and were not expecting it.
N.B. The following story is me describing a bad moment I had on acid. Read only if you want an example acid can adversely affect your ability to understand what's going on.
Quote:
I was tripping alone once (8 decent hits) listening to: "dark side of the moon - great gig in the sky". I was getting some strange vibes from the track so I deiced to change it.
At this point I'm still having a great time. So I walk over to my computer and try to close windows media player. But the fucker wouldn't close (you know how the buttons don't work sometimes). So in my mind I started to panic thinking I'm frozen in time and I'll be listening to this song for eternity.
I then realize that that's a stupid notion and verbally reassure myself "the computer's playing up, just start the other song". I am not really freaking out yet but I'm kinda frustrated and that's not good vibes.
As I navigate with windows explorer to the folder where I have the Beatles. The screen appears to be growing and shrinking and changing color synchronously to great gig in the sky (yes it's still playing even though I feel like I have been at the computer for a few years already).
So while the visuals aren't scaring me, because I'm already in a negative mindset - they seem to be purposely tormenting me.
Anyway I get to the folder with the Beatles but instead of clicking the playlist I clicked the "Play All" button. Now this was a BIG mistake. It started launching every single beatles song I had in VLC (another media player program I have installed). AT THE SAME TIME. So I am now just hearing a blur of dark side of the moon and like 50 Beatles songs at once.
So what did I do? I said "fuck it, I'll fix the computer later - I can't work the thing" and walked over to the lounge and sat down. Whiles't sitting however I started to replay over the scenario in my mind until the point where I didn't know if I had really used the computer or not. So I had no clue whether the computer was fucked up or I was just unable to hear my music properly (full volume 51 tracks playing at once).
I walk back over to my computer. See it's just the computer being fucking up. Try to fix it. Fail. Come sit back down. Still not sure if I had ever even got up. Repeat.
So here I am freaking shit thinking that I can't get up, because every time I try to get up, I only imagine it. But nothing ever actually happens in the real world. This coupled with the music sounding demonic as fuck was the most terrifying shit ever.
Eventually I called a mate over to talk me down a bit. And then had a pretty good trip after that.
Anyway this wont happen to you, but the point I'm trying to make is that psychedelics primarily effect the way you think. Not what you see or hear. So keep that in mind.
Anyway, don't overthink it and just have a great time. As I said, after your first experience you will understand.
Good vibes bro
