How old is he, I thought he was around 25 or so?

To try to make a little more sense out of the confusion... Outdoors is great. But outdoors in a subdivision, or any place with a lot of people, is no good.

If you're planning on trying it at your parents' house, you'd be better off to do it when you know they aren't going to be there for about 7 or 8 hours. If you can't do that, then at least make sure you have a place you can hang out where you won't have to be around them or talk to them.

It's not like pot, it's a strong drug, to be respected. There's no "maintaining," because that word doesn't really have a definition when you're tripping.

And if you're looking for visuals, try to find things with intricate designs on them... Oriental rugs, piles of leaves, cool posters, etc. And fires are great, they can look trippy even when you're not on anything.

I actually agree with Untermensch here. Urban environments suck ass when tripping, and can be dangerous. The woods are where it's at.
I don't think there's anything wrong with dropping acid at 18, hell, I was doing it when I was 16. I should say, there's nothing worse about acid than there is about any other hallucinogen, and it's a damn sight less harmful than coke, heroin, or PCP.

Actualy outside is good. You really want your trip to go off? Take a good 3 or 4 mile walk with your friends ands just bullshit. It gets the blood and stuff pumping and when you get back and sit down and look around the room... well buckle up my friend lol. Besides, locking yourself away and hiding from your enviroment isnt a good habit to encourage while tripping. Itll carry over to your every day psyche, hidng to do things you like.

Fuck man, try day tripping too, thats a blast ending your trip on a sunset. Colors over laying the trees and the roads, i mean talk about walking the golden road eh ?

Man i miss trippin

Yea, agreed. I meant that in my post above, dont trip out in the city or something, the woods and relitivly safe and secluded places are where its at. Let me know how it works out, then send me some cid lol

Done it. I was peaking right at sunset on the top of a small mountain in late fall. The upper branches of the trees all looked like elegant cursive handwriting, I spent quite a while trying to read it. That was an AWESOME trip, same one where I saw all the gremlins in the tree bark.

my respect for nightshade just decreased

Why? Because I used to do drugs? That's pretty shallow.

i guess it is

That's cause he is shallow.

So you dont use drugs or more to the point, NEVER have used any MJK ?

ah yea - i felt bad about that too - not cool.

What are you talking about? Cats are always looking for higher ground.

Nightshade wrote:Done it many times, the best way to describe it is that it's like an amplifier. For EVERYTHING. It makes everything you see and hear that much more interesting, detailed, fascinating, etc.
Best done in an outdoor situation, stay away from man-made stuff as much as possible. Do it with people you trust, and have some weed handy. Always pack a bag when you go on a trip! I've had some excellent trips in the woods, I remember some very vivid hallucinations while sitting on a branch of a HUGE oak tree. I was seeing gremlins running around in the bark. Acid doesn't make you see things that aren't there per se, it just exaggerates things you're already seeing. Being in the woods at dusk or at night can really accentuate this.
A trip sitter isn't a bad idea, but not strictly necessary if you're in an environment wherein there's no chance of observation/intervention by authority figures.

this man speaks the truth...
all but two of my trips have been in the woods. (woods i knew very well of course... and after two days of eating acid we actually manged to get lost... pretty fun times)

the two that werent were still good.
one was on gell-tabs at an all day festival concert (90's rock-pop, no bad mojo or ass-hats around... IIRC blues traveler was headlining, and as me and my mate were making a village out of wood-chips, they were on-stage... and we barely noticed... good show)
the other was at a friends house in cleveland... just sat up all night playing with fun 'trip toys' (toys are a MUST for in-door tripping; preferably tactile mind games. like those metal interlocking rings and shit like that)

oh, and acid doesn't really require a sober sitter... since its more of a 'social experience' ... your trip is generally better if everyone else around is also tripping balls.
The best 'sitter' I ever had for an acid trip was a mates girlfriend, she had done acid several times before, just had some shit to do the next day so wasn't doing it with us... so she walked around in the woods with us until she noticed all was good and we were starting to peak.. then she just slowly faded off and went home.
was the perfect time for her to leave.

all this reminicing reminds me i need to eat acid again before i'm 30.
trick is finding it around here... not very easy to get anymore.
seems once X got popular the pharmies stole the market and acid fell off the radar.

glossy wrote:Serious question embedded in all your stupid trolling:

I'm going to drop acid in a week with a good friend while we're chilling at my place. I've already asked around and have got a decent idea of what to be careful of, but me and my friend are both complete newbies to it, so has anyone here got anything to help with ? Such as, is it easy/impossible to sleep while you're tripping, and how useful will I be the day after (I've been told you feel "scattered", which is kind of like the comedown on E).

Thanks guys

oh... one point that hasn't been covered...
EAT ALOT BEFORE YOU TRIP

eating while on acid is a disgusting experience, i don't recomend it.
when i was doing my tripping, we would usually make up a big pot of pasta, have dinner, drop for desert, then smoke a bowl and head out for a hike in the twilight.
usually end up comming back at dawn.

oh, and make sure you block off ~10-13 hours of time removed from society.
and don't eat more after an hour because "its not kicking in"
it generally takes 3-5 hours to peak.
and don't worry about taking a 'half-hit' just eat a full hit out of the gate. you can't OD on acid, and 1/2 doesn't get anyone high.

enjoy.

I was 16 and stupid. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't do it.

You would of had to have done alot of mind altering drugs to want to go into mathmatics.

writing is the same way...
i can't fathom how anyone would want to be a writer without being an alcoholic on copius ammounts of opium.

I'm willing to bet that most of the people I partied with in HS would be shocked as shit to know what I'm doing now.

what does acid do that shrooms don't?

and what do shrooms do that acid doesn't?

I'm really interested in the spiritual expirence involved with it after trying shrooms a few times. How were your expirences? Any tips?

used it once and it was ok lampposts starts to wave at me and crazy stuff like that. however i would never do it again as i dont see the point of taking something to make u feel better. unless it due to pain.

if u cant feel good without drugs then goto a doctor and ask him for help.

im not saying drugs are wrong im just saying that they dont solve anything and most of the times cause more problems.

I rarely do drugs to feel "good".

more for the mind-expanding experience (in the case of pot)

the social lubrication (in the case of alcohol)

the cognitive and physical boost (in the case of caffeine)


sugar's probably the only drug I take to feel good, though I rarely use it.

haha... wtf do you think a doctor is going to do other than fill you full of drugs that cost 20x more and do little more than wrap a big scarf around your brain.
