Dose - Is it better to drop all the LSD at once?

[Nature Boy]

Say SWIM had two blotters as his dose of LSD on a particular night, would it be more efficient to take both blotters simultaneously rather than spacing out an hour or two between ingesting them? SWIM is of the belief, that once LSD is active in the mind, dropping more at later stage of the trip is, in a sense, a waste due to his belief that once LSD is active further dosage will not be as effective as the activating dose i.e. you get more for your money if you were to use the two blotters on two completely different occasions or else just drop them both at the same time.

Does anyone else agree with this or have an opinion on it?

The one time SWIM redosed on LSD he was disapointed. He redosed at +4 hours but it seemed to extend the trip rather than intensifying it. SWIM was left with that uncomfortable just above baseline feeling for many hours and eventually had to take some valium to sleep.

Yes, SWIM agrees with this. Re-dosing only seems to prolong the trip without intensifying and prolongation of the trip is one of the things people like to avoid while on acid. The peak is excellent but the long comedown/after-effects can irritate many. SWIM doesn't mind it too much but knows a few lab monkeys who absolutely despise that seemingly endless period of time. When in that situation it's better to not attempt sleep (if one doesn't have any diazepam or other benzos) because it can be nearly impossible. SWIM usually watches movies in that state. A good movie can be incredibly compelling after the peak of an acid trip.

SWIM would agree that dropping it all would be very intense and more fun (if you like it that way). If SWIY likes that sort of thing then go for it, otherwise SWIY will probably get a bit bored with it all as I doubt SWIY would reach the same cresendo of the first high. Or...how about this, SWIY could drop half, then after a few hours, drop 1.5 that way SWIY should get a double bump, so to speak.

swim has experimented and found both ways can give better highs depending on mood what there doing ect. dropping both at once gives a greater come up and peak experience. but also swim has found taking one some time after the peak of the first they get a good experience to, as they already have acid in there system so the extra dose gives another sometimes more intense than the first feeling. swim has also noticed there seams to be a point that once you have taken x amount of acid you don't get any higher but just a more dragged out experience which as some will no this can be very frustrating as you just want it to stop, because your bored of the feeling. swim would say experimentation is the key to find out what is right for people. although swim does not personally recommends experimenting with such things.

It depends on what your goal is for the next 24 hours. Swim has found that both ways can be pleasurable. If swim wants to have fun for a long time, you can redose to prolong the experience. If swim wants to go the next day, 2x is recommended. For some monkeys, All at once can be a jagged lift off but again monkeys are individuals. Some love the full on throttle! Diffrent strokes for different monkeys!

SWIM finds redosing just after each peak much more enjoyable, as SWIM gets to enjoy a tour trough the various dimensions / stages of the psychedelic experience, instead of rushing trough them at warp 4. SWIM will get to the dimension he wants to go anyway. And yes, SWIM should better have time if he goes for this route. However there are times that SWIM does the rollercoaster effect. Overall SWIM finds the former to give trips which give more afterglow and more positive impact on life. It also gave SWIM the chance to see how alice works and how to navigate. But that may be personal. IMHO that is much easier to perceive lower dosage than at higher. It also gives the benefit of reducing the times where SWIM takes more than optimal.

SWIM took one hit of lsd which wasn't nearly strong enough after waiting an hour then took two more, then after ten minutes or so said "what the hell" and took the last one. It was sweet.

SWIM says that for a longer less intense experience redose near the end of the first peak, for a more intense experience but less duration take all the hits at the same time. As most people have said it really depends on the person and their moods, SWIM prefers to take it all at once because a drawn out psychadelic experience (especially with the time dilation) tend to bother and confuse him.
