Depressed about quitting weed - - - Bad 'set' for tripping LSD?
    #23818946 - 11/10/16 09:36 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

I recently had to quit using cannabis due to randoms at work.  I decided I like my job well enough to make the sacrifice...at least until something better comes along.  It's been 3 weeks since my last toke, so it's still very fresh on my mind and I'm a little depressed over the situation.

I know after more time, my mind will reacclimate to sobriety, but for now I'm struggling.  It was a 10+ year daily habit so I know it has effected my body's chemistry.  My 'feel good chemicals' are nowhere to be seen and I'm in a constant state of dysphoria.  I deal with this by keeping myself busy and productive and sleeping or exercising when I have nothing else to do.  I trust that given enough time, my body will return to an even homeostasis.

I should also mention that other than this weed situation, my life is in pretty good order and I'm generally pretty content.

So my question comes in here.  Based on the circumstances listed in the above paragraphs, is my 'set' too negative to trip?  Specifically on LSD?  Should I wait until I'm not so hung up on weed? Or could tripping possibly help me in my transition?

I have experience with using mushrooms.  In the past, I've always waited until I'm already feeling good mentally to trip.  Plus I've always had weed as an enhancer.

I still have mushrooms on hand, but also in my possession are about 30 good hits of LSD (tested to be the real deal).  I have yet to partake, because it's been hard for me to find the time to trip for that duration.  But now that I'm not spending money on weed, I can afford to take days off work pretty easily. 

I will probably save the shrooms for when I can smoke again, but I'm very keen on the idea of finally dropping the acid.  I hear the euphoria and self exploration LSD provides is unmatched and that's exactly what I'm looking for.  My only hesitance comes from mushroom experiences, where instead giving me a fresh perspective, it just intensifies the negatives of my current perspective to the point of making me regret taking them.  Luckily, with mushrooms, it's all over in 4-6 hours tops.  The thought of 12 hours of hell terrifies me.

So to reiterate my question, would you advise dropping LSD with the current dysphoria I'm feeling?  Is it more likely to make me feel better or worse?  Thanks.

I'm glad you've made the decision, and are going through with it very honorable! Indeed after 10 years of use you will always feel that lack of for a good while. The fact that you have not smoked is great and would only make my LSD trip that much better, in my eyes the LSD trip will show you how proud and happy you should be for yourself for making and going through with these decisions.

If you're looking to cleanse some subconscious attachment either will work - LSD or Mushrooms in your case go for LSD for a new experience :smile:

I've been there before. I was addicted to cannabis, smoking myself into a stupor everyday but now I rarely smoke. I actually thought at one stage I would never be able to quit. Keep up the exercise. Even when you don't feel like it just force yourself to work out. You'll always feel better afterwards. Be proud of yourself for quitting, a lot of people don't have the willpower to quit. Enjoy your clean lungs

It's not a great idea to trip if you're feeling depressed, although it could also potentially lift you out of the depression.

I like going into an LSD experience as clean as possible, so the longer it's been since I used any other substances the better. I'd love to trip after a month of no cannabis!

I'd be surprised if the thought of cannabis even crosses your mind, until the come down at least. As for the 12 hour duration, you probably won't be able to sleep for 12 hours from dropping but the actual trip itself is 6-7 hours long in my experience, after that it's just a nice afterglow where music sounds amazing.

Thanks Eclipse3130.  Based on irl friends' opinions and yours, I'm feeling confident that I can enjoy an LSD trip in the near future.

thehighking, you didn't really address my question, but thanks for the encouragement.  I need all that I can get.

peace and congratulations California  :sunny:

Exactly the dilemma.  What is more likely to happen is my question?

LSD is more positive than mushrooms IMO - those run the gamut.

Also, depression (depleted serotonin) potentiates LSD so keep that in mind when choosing your dosage.

Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order:
1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine
2)Amanita (urine drank twice)
3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose)
4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators)
5)Salvia (need to try quid)


All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental.

Blessing.

With the right set, setting and dosage, I think you'd be just fine.
