Setting - What to do during first LSD trip?

[daveman]

Personally i have never reall</span>y
had a bad mental trip on acid, but some of my friends have gone pretty
crazy and thought they were permanently insane. My trips are
never really a crazy blur. I get more of a feeling like "what the
hell did i do for the last 6 hours". I also find it hard to make
any decisions. I have taken 2-4 hits each time. first time 18

thanks dave,


so is it true that people (not necerally having a bad trip) talk to trees and just sit on the floor playing with a ball for hours? (im talking about more of a low dose.) Do you know what your doing and do you realise that its not normal?

Yeah sorry for making another post i had another question - can you still engage in normal convosations? i just want to be prepared as possible so im am ready for whateva happends.

You've never even seen someone on acid?! You really aren't ready man. I was 18 when I first did it at least.

It's likely that nothing bad will happen but you're putting yourself in a risky situation if you don't understand how it effects you. Read up on it and understand it's negative side effects. I strongly advise you not to do it for a few years. I have a 16 year old brother who wants to do it but doesn't understand the drug either so I warn him not to do it. All I can do is give the same advice to you.

On acid: different effects for different folks.


There are 2 basic ways you can allow acid to affect you:


1. Try to set up a trip where I have a steady supply of trippy things happening (mind zooming into different realms), and


2. Have something to do. The acid will allow me to bring a level of concentration to the task.


Most trips are a combination of the 2. They can happen at different times, so you can plan to do some concentration-task at some point (say, 3 hours in). If you have some favorite music, it's fun to listen to it early on (in the first hours), and near the end.


The difference between talking to a person on acid, and just a regular Joe, can be pretty tiny. One thing about it though, if you take the time to slow down before you talk, the words can flow like poetry. You can be in AS MUCH control as you want to be.


Since you are young (and a first-timer), it may help you to plan for the trip: Write out what you would like to do (think about, make decisions about). Go through some more reading material. Pick out your DREAM trip.


One thing about a trip, you can be anything you believe you can. Go in with confidence that you will be changed for the better when it is over. Millions of people have had life-changing experiences. Millions more have had gentle changes. One thing is for sure: At least one thing you believe today, will change (because of the change in perspective that acid gives).


If you happen to have a guide with you (a OK idea, for at least part of the trip), that person can give you feedback about how your voice sounds (or how your sentence-structure sounds). Then, your brain can concentrate on improving it (making it appear normal).


If a crazy blur will occur, it's usually the next day. A great deal of stuff can (and usually does) happen during a trip. Some things will still be crystal-clear the next day (or the next year). Some things will not surface again after they are felt. The rest can come up, from time-to-time, in the future.


If you have more questions (or need a more specific answer), throw them out there.One thing is for sure, if you do NOT ask, it makes it harder to find out.


Good luck, in your new life.

You are usually in control while tripping. I also disagree with what nature boy says, you dont need to see someone tripping before you take the dive. It has nothing to do with it. 'My friend' had never seen anyone before and wasnt sure what he was getting into before he first did it, and he now trips all the time. You are in control and do what you want, but your thoughts may be a little altered than normal, just as your decisions change when you're drunk.

That's all well and good but to be honest I think the guy should have someone with him considering he's gonna do it for the first time and he's only 15. You might have been able to handle it better but it's different with everyone so he shouldn't take the risk the first time. I knew a dude who was well accustomed to acid and he took some alone and broke all his knuckles punching a wall. Not nice.

On a lighter note, I love talking to people on acid when I'm buzzing on E. It's the funniest, most unparallel conversation one can have. I once had one with a buddy of mine named DJ (look it up DEA!) and it went something like this:

Me: Oh man, do you remember the night when I marched up to your house and it took like four hours because I got lost because I was polluted drunk?

DJ: Huh? *Stares at hand*

Me: C'mon man, you gotta remember. It was the night where we all did coke. Remember?

DJ: Huh? *Stares at tobacco sprinkled on kitchen table after joint-building*

Me: Are you ok? You're not going mental on me are you? Can I help you? Do you want me to go away?

DJ: AAAH! *Staring at tobacco* Get those damn ants off the table, they're freaking me out!!

Me: HaHaHa!! Man it's just tobacco, I love you man.

DJ: *Giggles satanically to himself* Far out. Hahaha!!

Those conversations are so hilarious because the guy on E is so worried and full of questions while the guy on acid simply doesn't give a shit.

Just wanted to point out that you have to be eighteen to be a
meber of this forum. Also the DEA and right wing actvists always use
"how drugs corrupt our youth" as propaganda. Please stop[ giving them
what tehy want.
