Have any of you guys taken acid before?

That_Deaf_Guy · 2019-07-08T09:20:15+00:00

I’ve done it 3 times, first one was one of the best experiences of my life, second one is one of the worst. I was tripping over stupid stuff. Third time it didn’t hit well(wasn’t strong enough). Just like how you can’t explain how chocolate tastes to someone who has never eaten chocolate, I can’t tell you what it will be like. It is different from every drug but I loved it and will try again when I get the chance. My advice to you is do it before sunset, have a person to take care of you if things go bad(because it really can) and don’t eat right before you drop it. You will have hella fun that’s for sure(if you drop it with the right person)

Lsd doesn’t change you, it shows you how you need to change.

If you don’t take the effort to do the work, nothing is going to happen.

There’s a lot of bullshit thrown around about how wonderful psychedelics are,

And they ARE, but they don’t fix things.

YOU do. They just show you new things/perspectives/feelings

Shrooms are a better introduction.

I've done it a few times. Definitely made me happier, and gave me a good opportunity for true introspection. Have found myself worrying less about things outside my control and generally being more content with life as well. Honestly recommend everyone try it once in their life.

Recommend doing it in a safe environment, and with others for the first time at least. I've never had a bad trip but I believe that's because I'm very self aware when sober, so there isn't a great deal for me to dig up.

Set and settings.

It's only life changing if you put work into the reintegration after the experience. I sold and done acid for a long time and many people take it for these life changing experiences and never have them (well they do but they think simply taking acid was gonna change their life without putting in any real effort)

ugluk1 · 2019-07-08T09:14:51+00:00

grow some shrooms.

zeekt12 · 2019-07-08T16:20:40+00:00

Yeah, prob 5-6 timea. Tripping again next friday

I’ve taken LSD many times. The first time especially is mind-blowing and you’ll have an “after-glow” of motivation/peace/understanding. But if you don’t capitalize on it, it will simply fade.

Acid sunsets at the beach or in the desert have been some of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

First time I did it I was out of my mind but had this unbelievable confidence throughout and started to realize I was, deep down, a really self assured and confident person even if I was hard on myself sometimes. Most of my other trips (about 4 others) have all been good, and I’ve felt very in control. One trip I smoked way too much (I smoked the other times too but this time I smoked too much after a T break, even though smoking gives me serious anxiety) and essentially had a panic attack and major freak out. Worst experience of my life.

Bottom line, acid will show you different perspectives and help you see things objectively by separating the ego from the mind, however you may not always like what you see and it only becomes real change when you make a concerted effort to use the acid realizations as a guide to improve your life.

Bottom line, you won’t have crazy epiphanies and go on a spirit quest but you’ll get some deep insight into yourself if you respect the drug and are in a good setting with experienced people.

Three times now in doses of 50 - 100 mcg. It was a profound experience even if some people go higher on the dosage.

I started to view things from completely new and different perspectives, you kind of realize some truths of life that were previously hidden in plain sight, not sure how to explain it. Kind of like living life with one eye open and then gaining a second one for a couple of hours..

Concerning women I realized on it, that a lot of fears about approaching and even the act of always trying to keep TRP in mind are actually big mental roadblocks that I put on myself.

I got to experience perceived reality without judgment and attached emotion which was amazing. The insights i gained from it persist today as well to some degree

axxxman · 2019-07-08T13:09:28+00:00

It has been life-changing for me, but don't have too much expectations for your first trip. I've done about 20. I really recommend tripping in nature if possible.

Angelrun · 2019-07-08T10:48:53+00:00

26 times

mantiss87 · 2019-07-08T15:25:09+00:00

Its awesome when done responsibly.

I've heard of the potential benefits regarding productivity and happiness, and want to do so for personal development.

Not going to increase productivity. It can help you gain perspective and become more tolerant.

Note that bad trips are also possible, it's known that some people have recurring nightmares and flashbacks from the experience. It's not impossible to develop full blown PTSD from a bad trip.

Having the proper setting in the room, having a calm state of mind and having someone around with experience with psychedelics is critically important. That is, someone who can talk you down if you go to a bad place.

Many say that it is a life-changing experience so I am curious to hear about those who have experienced it.

It can be life changing for those already putting in heavy effort on a daily basis to change their lives. However this isn't the case with most people. So you should moderate your expectations.

Psychedelics aren't a substitute for professional mental health care.

To those who have tripped before, how was it?

H0tTamal3 · 2019-07-08T17:17:59+00:00

I've done LSD a handful of times. Don't expect it to change your life. Like others have said it can give you a new perspective on things, but I have found with many hallucinogens that you just think you understand the meaning of life. People feel like they have some new perspective on things and have an "a-ha!" moment. I think for the most part it isn't a true change of perspective though, it just feels like it. Then when you try to reintegrate people try to latch onto that perspective but can't because it was never really there, always slightly out of reach.

DMT on the other hand changed my life. It cured my severe alcoholism. With DMT you remain coherent enough to actually process things. The trip is so short that reintegrating with something worth having is more do-able imo.

acid makes everything make no sense to the point where everything makes sense

Ekhochambeer · 2019-07-09T01:12:17+00:00

Fucking incredible. Tripped 3 times, first two were low dose, I just fucked around watched youtube videos and listened to music. The 3rd time was a lot stronger and made me incredibly introspective. I gained a lot of insights from the last one as well as forming some deep bonds with my mates.

Psychedsubstance has a video on the comedown of lsd, not sure whats its called but he looks like hunter s thompson in it, I think he explains a lot of the underlooked effects.

Ialev · 2019-07-09T22:17:47+00:00

Yes I’ve done it 8 times, doses from 150ug to 300ug. On my first 250ug trip my life changed so much and ever since then I have been constantly improving myself in every way I can with a burning desire to never go back to my old self.
