Experiences - Was this acid?

[Panda]

First off , Hi everyone! this is my first post.

Ok the question I have is was the substance that SWIM look acid? I'll explain:

About two weeks ago SWIM and some friends bought some "acid" and SWIM took 2 hits (gel tabs btw).This was only SWIM's second time trying it but the first time she barely tripped and got a headace so she is'nt shure if that was acid either (only one hit that time).However on the second time SWIM tripped about as hard as you would off of a good dose of shrooms and was convinced it was acid.

Well about a week after SWIM and the same friends deside to buy alot more of the same stuff and go out of town and rent a hotel room.After getting settled into the hotel room thay desided to dose (SWIM took 3 her first dose)
and rented a a movie on the cool hotel tv with a game controler for a remote (something that made SWIM giggle).SWIM rented a horror movie and was shure that would flip her out ,because she had a few expericences with shrooms and scarry stuff that wernt plesent,But was fine and really just got cought up in the suspence of the movie.After the movie was over SWIM tryed to convince her friends thay should go walking around but one of her friends had to stay with his wife (a phonebook that he had just married himself to) so thay stayed in the room untill the trip was almost over and phonebook-man went to sleep.

SWIM and the rest of her friends desided to dose again but this time with 5 hits and went out and had a lovely stroll thru the local colllage area ,were thay were let into the art mesum for free because thay all threw on fake british accents and acted like we knew something about art ,which thay dont.SWIM and her friends stayed in childrens area of the art mesum makeing
works of art untill it was close to checkout time and headed back to the hotel to wake up phonebook-man .

Phonebook-man (being the only sober one) desided SWIM and the rest of the group should drive back twords home and stop at a friends house and re-dose then go for a walk in the woods.SWIM and the everone but phone-book man couldent wait untill thay got to the other friends house and took two more hits in the car for good measure without him knowing.

Once SWIM and her friends got to the other friends house thay all dosed 4 more hits and set out on a hike.Well about 15 mins into the hike SWIM realised she was exaused and sat down for a rest but apparently everyone else didnt notice and kept on going.SWIM tripped out for a bit looking at all the pretty things in nature then when she finally came out of the daze she was in realised she was lost, but she didnt panic she just started yelling for them untill thay came back and smoked a bowl with her and pointed her the way out of the woods.Then SWIM went to the car and instantly fell asleep.

So dose that sound like acid? the whole thing lasted something close to 20 hours and i was under the impression that you couldent trip that long on acid, and i also would think that since i know SWIM would have freaked on shrooms had she realised she was lost that she would on acid too.But really nothing could make SWIM scared despited the fact that close to the end of the trip she was exaused.Just would like to know if SWIM has actually tripped on acid.

Also sorry about it being so long but i wanted to explain the trip good because i really want to know if SWIM has done acid before.

Oh yea SWIM slept about 2 hours after doseing the last time..is that normal, to sleep on acid?

[podge]

Hmmmmmm , its impossible to tell really. that sounds like a lot of doses for someone who had only taken it once before , but maybe they were extremelly weak hits. Sleeping on acid is very hard but if swiy had been tripping for twenty hours already maybe swiy was tired enough to manage it. the only way to know for sure would be to get them tested or get a friend with tripping experience with mushrooms,acid and mescaline and maybe with research chemicals to try differenciate the effects.

[Panda]

Well SWIM knows thay were weak because around here you always have to take alot to get any good effects,so says most people i know, good stuff is hard to come by.also all but the first and last doses (two diffrent people were holding half of the stash) SWIM has a feeling the dude holding them licked them.he had a odd smile on hsi face everytime he gave SWIM some.

Physically it didnt feel anything like shrooms or dxm (only other things SWIM has tryed) a slight headache the whole time + SWIM couldent feel her body because it was so cold.But SWIM did have the sense of adventure you get when doing shrooms.

[podge]

swim doesnt know , more than likely swiy didnt get chemical psylocybin or chemical mecaline....they are very rare and even then a dose probably couldnt be squeezed onto a gel cap. maybe it was a Rc or maybe it was a weak batch of lsd , swiy will have to get it tested to know for sure im afraid.

[Pinkavvy]

Nobody at all could tell swiy what it was just by sepculation. Next time try the black light test. (if it glows under black light it COULD be lsd, if it does not, then it's definately not lsd.) For the time frames swip would guess it to be a DOx compound, but again nobody can say for sure without testing it.

[Panda]

thanks for all of your imput people..didnt know about the black light thing SWIM will have to try that next time she gets something.

[mr. strawberry]

well, my initial reaction was going to say "hell no" how the hell could swiy take that much lsd and be asking "was that acid?" but i read the responces of others and now have to ask the question.... since all the acid SWIM dropped was in the early to mid 1990s (and the shit was usually VERY powerful) is it really that weak these days that one would have to drop 15 fucking hits to trip? and then even still feel the need to question the valitity of the substance? thats insane!!!! That was one of the many things swim loved about lsd, how just a couple hundred MICRO grams could seld one into another universe for 10-16 hours.

LSD fine tremor of the extremities,
Where you and I changed our identities

BTW, did i read that correctly? the guy who married the phone book was sober? now I can see someone with a head full of cid talking to a phonebook telling it that noone but it understands him and how he loves the phonebook and preforming a little ceromony of love or something but why would a sober person do that? if i read it wrong i appoligise, im getting over a nasty cold and im still abit out of it.

This is what gives it away. Whenever someone is really "Trippin'" off acid there is absolutly no way someone could just instantly fall asleep on this stuff. An experienced Psychonaut used to just lay in bed for hours just hoping to fall asleep when he would be coming down off of acid. And this wasn't as soon as he was coming down, this was at least 12-15 hours AFTER he had been tripping.

Just like mr strawberry said, you'll know if it's acid or not. There's none of this, "Oh well I think it might be acid I don't know." Your best bet is to just take your loss and move on.

[mr. strawberry]

and if i had taken 12 hits of acid theres no way id even think about trying to drive a car. i know people who have driven on 1 hit (very dangerous) but on 12??? and really being swiy's first time trippin? im just not really seeing it.

[CRUNK]

Yeah sometimes people pay more attention to the visuals and the patterns then they do on the road. Of course if you try to stay focused on the road you'll do ok. But yeah, Swim noticed that driving on the road looks like one of those psycadellic screen savers. Especially when you drive at night. Of course he doesn't recommend it though, because some people flip out when a cop get's behind them.

[Micklemouse]

Never, ever drive on acid kittlings, or any other substance - any cop worth their salt will suss pretty quickly if swiy are pulled over, never mind the out & stupidity of even thinking about it.

That said, SWiPanda at no point says that anyone under the influence of any drug ever did any driving. Also she said that SWiP fell asleep in the car at the end of the trip (at least that's how I read it), when she was exhausted - a perfectly reasonable & natural thing to happen in my opinion. Also, SWiP did not take 15 doses to trip - she took 3 initially, felt effects, then redosed much later, to a total of 12 blotters over a 20 hour period. So can we stop ripping the poor girl apart & implying that driving whilst on acid is o.k., & get back on topic?

SWiPanda - A Certain Mouse listened to this story & the replies given so far with a wry and wistful smile on his face. While he agrees that there is no way of knowing without a reagent test, & that any opinion given is speculation, he told me that to his memory it does indeed sound like acid, albeit multiple doses of very weak acid ( it would appear that there are some hella weak blotters around, if the recent post here about how to hypothetically dose blotters in the 25 - 50 mic range is anything to go by. Sick I know, but if this & other reports are anything to go by maybe indicative of a trend). Tolerance to lsd builds quickly, & after a while additional doses add little to the psychedelic aspect, & more to the stimulant aspect.

[mr. strawberry]

My oh my, well, I didn't mean to give the impression that I was "ripping the poor girl apart". I was simply trying to imagine the trip. As I stated, it has been some years now since SWIM did it and 12 (i did origionally say 15 but then when i read it a second time corrected it to 12 in my second post) and 12, even over a 20 hour period and taking tollerance into conciteration seems like it would have been very intense and thats why i was asking if thats how it was these days. I was actually curious about it.
About driving, huh HELL NO would I ever think its ok to do on that chemical. WAY WAY WAY to unpredictable. just my opinions.
