Opinions - First time reassurance

[0ctavarium]

SWIM is 100% sure he will trip tomorrow, and has read the textbook facts for months now and is very excited. However, he just wants some first hand first trip tips, like things to avoid and stuff. Don't give him the basics, as he already knows all of that, tell him things that might not happen, but could cause bad stuff and etc. SWIM wants to make 100% sure to trip safe.

try and think of everything you might need, like get your music in a certain spot so you dont have to find it, get some food ready that you can just eat. Sometimes cooking on acid is fun, but other times it sounds like the meat is screaming in pain haha. Make sure you tidy up a bit otherwise you will see bugs crawling out of the mess, which is sometimes fun. SWIM actually enjoys seeing long centipeed things crawling towards him and over his arms, its amazing. Oh and if you go exploring outside bring some sunglasses just incase you bump into someone you have to talk to while your acting weird and you have big pupils. People looking at you strange can cause anxiety.

Hope you have fun, i wish SWIM could trip tomorrow

Thanks SWIY. SWIM never thought about food.

My raver friend has never really had acid turn into a bad trip. The only serious issue is if the blotter ends up tasting fucking awful and metallic, read up on the effects of the DO(x) chemicals and brace SWIYself.

If SWIY have plans for going off on an adventure with friends (ie SWIY isn't going to sit around at a friend's house and chill the whole time). Definitely pack a backpack with random small things that can make you happy or could come in handy. Chapstick, gum, candy, paper, pencil, markers, water bottle, extra clothes, room to take off your clothes and put them into the backpack , condoms + lube, and my raver friend is forcing me to add glowsticks to this list cuz... well... he's like that.

when swim likes to trip he likes to have a notebook , music , glowsticks , water bottle and some gum it always makes for a good trip

and he also likes to turn his phone off so he doesnt get startled if people call

SWIM had his first acid trip a few days ago and was suprised by how euphoric he found it.
SWIM thinks he would be hard pushed to have a 'bad trip' at a sensible dose.

SWIY should just relax and try not to think about his experience as good or bad.

SWIM is really pissed off. Him and his buddy took 2 tabs with some sort of 69 cancer horoscope print, waited at least 3 hours and nothing. Now it's been like 4 hours since he's taken them. Hopefully it's not some rc that will kick in an hour later because SWIM has somewhere to be. They didn't taste bitter, just like paper, so SWIM is not worried but he's pissed off that he blew his hard earned cash on it (even if it wasn't that much). Someone is going to have their car fucked up.

if there's no taste and no effect, it's just paper. But your lab rat probably didn't need me to say that for it to come to the same conclusion. Best of luck with sourcing sound research materials in the future.

One thing I can tell you from personal experience, DO NOT pick up the phone. In fact, turn it off because unless you are pretty good with acid, there is a really good chance that someone who shouldn't call you will call you and your hand will answer it by itself and then you'll be there for 15 minutes trying to mumble sh|t.

Trust me, keep the phone around just in case but turn it off and do not call people while your are on it unless its an emergency.

This is an exelent post. SWIM finds all of those items essential. And turning off your phone is such a good idea. When SWIM receives a phone call on LSD, SWIM finds the fact that he is talking to someone who isnt there so very confusing and generally just cant reply to the person on the phone so he kin dof ignore the person on the phone, every now and then comes back to the conversation and says "sorry i cant really concentrate", and often he completly forget the whole conversation.

SWIM recommends not making sure that nothing goes wrong. Just don't think about what might go wrong, theres no point. If you think something bad might happen, there is more chance that it will than if you dont. Like, don't go round locking all you windows and doors, SWIM has had many trips, and has been with alot of people on there trips, open windows are actually very nice. If your doing it outside, SWIM recommends doing it in a secluded place, having people (strangers) walking by you while your tripping is kind of annoying, its nicer to be left to your group.
Toys are quite fun, SWIM finds LSD makes him childlike, so childrens toys are quite fun to play with. Puzzles are fun, absolutely impossible, but fun to try and fail. Other acid toys include - lava lamps, uv lights (if at night), paint is good (finger painting?) or any other instrument of colour, a sunny day with a few clouds is such a help, soft/comfortable cloths (sounds funny but its nicer when things are softer). If your indoors, some might say 'stay away from mirrors' but from SWIM and his friend's experience mirrors ahe never caused them problems, they are intense, but no bad trips.
If you have an animal friend, they can be very nice to have around. Im nnot sure if SWIY is doing this alone, but SWIM recomends being with someone for SWIYs first time.


Just read SWIY tripped and failed. Sorry about that, sometimes when one thinks to much about getting high, you dont. It could have been acid, but SWIY and SWIYs friends just thought about acid and getting high too much that you mind didnt make it work. Like watching a kettle boil, similar thing.
