Hey guys,
I’m thinking of trying acid for the first time, but from what I’ve read on other threads and websites, the whole idea that it can permanently fudge you up is a bit scary.
I’ve done shrooms, and shrooms with pot and the first time i did the later i had a pretty bad trip. I was camping with some mates and three of us had shrooms. One of us reacts really differently to them, he goes really intense – like staring at things and seeing things. Me and my other mate just see things which have patterns appear to flow and ripple, and things just become more beautiful and significant. All three of us were in a big 7 man tent and were having fun with glo-sticks and the like. Then us two got a bit bored and went outside, leaving my other mate lying there saying he was in a jungle and it was really pretty. Me and my mate decided to smoke some pot, to see were it would take us. I finished up and went back in the tent for a drink to sort out my drymouth. But when i got inside i felt like i was on a spaceship! the tent was rocking from side to side and felt as if it was spinning round. I started to get a bit scared and decided to get in my sleeping bag (which seemed to take at least half an hour ‘cos it kept moving around the tent). When I got in it, i felt like i had no arms or legs and was gonna die! It was pretty nasty.
The next time i tried it again but stayed outside, I felt the same feelings coming again but i just rolled with it and really enjoyed myself!
So, to finally get to the point a few of my mates are getting acid and i’m trying to decide if i want some. Some have done it before others haven’t. What worries me is that one of my mates got his drink spiked with acid and he had to be carried outta the club and into an ambulance and get his stomach pumped. That was about 6 months ago, he left school a bit later, i thought he’d gone to get a job or something. I saw him the other day and it turns out hes been diagnosed schitzophrenic!! He looked terrible!
I read Globallon’s comment about how your first time could be your last. However, my mate had a really bad childhood, his mum left the country after he was born, his dad died of cancer just before he was 17, and he now lives with his aunty and uncle and their two kids, who drive him nuts. So im thinking the acid ‘accelerated the inevitable.’
I’m thinking of doing it, my childhood has been pretty good, i’ve no family history of mental illness that im aware of, and im pretty laid back. The only thing is my girlfriend might want to do it if i tell her (she’s away at the moment), and if anything was to happen to her i’d want to die.
So……….. Any advice???
my advice…..if in doubt-leave it out!if youve got these worries then your state of mind isnt going to be very good before you do it if you were to decide to do it
if you are going to take psychedelics again (and you have already mentioned one bad experience) – the first thing you will have to do is abandon any feelings of guilt or paranoia about taking the drug.
It looks like you are fairly headstrong and have dealt positively with frightening experiences before…
But the more you think are going to have a bad trip, the worse things may become.
Some other suggestions…
As for your taking a trip with girlfriend, it is very unlikely she would suffer physical problems (overdose/poisioning) from acid; but I am not a medical professional or a relationship counsellor, and do not know her state of mind or the state of your relationship – and you may quite understandably not wish to discuss these matters in a very public forum.
She may be more sensitive; also if you are doing the substance in a male-dominated crowd there is even the danger that someone, even someone you may have hitherto considered to be a good friend may try and crack on to her with the attendant risk of an ugly scene… sorry to sound dark and paranoid about this but its a very aggressive competitive world nowadays, even amongst party people…
of course the both of you may try and do it together without any others present, if you feel that would be safer.
Don’t expect it to be an aphrodisiac though; you will probably only end up helplessly laughing at one another (but in a good way)!
Remember there has to be a recovery time to deal with the lack ofsleep and food -and the time factor – don’t do it when one or both of you are time-pressured because of studies, work, family, kids or whatever …
otherwise for couples there is also a risk of having nasty rows on the comedown because they think its a “good idea at the time” but ends up as “we should have done this but you decided to get mashed instead..“
DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT ITS FINE I LOVE TRIPIN INTO THE TREES MATE ON ACID KS FAT AS WELL
:bigsmile: Listen if you are gonna think about it that much I’d stay away, trippin is a laugh and a perfect fesival drug for me and my mates but not always for everyone, and the fact that you are analysing the what if’s kinda takes the whole fun out of it really.Its like coke is no no for me, everyone’s different, it’ just about being aware.

i think it’s a good thing to get an idea about what you’re letting yourself in for though
you can’t make a decision unless you have the information
the drugs section of this site has some useful info, as does http://www.erowid.org
word up though! if anyone has the smallest doubt about dropping acid, don’t do it. my ignorant ways of rationalizing have served me quite well over the years.:crazy_fre
absolutely the best advice:horay::horay::horay::horay:
[and if you are going to do new drugs find a very experienced and responsible person to keep you company the first few times; one who knows about it, knows what to do if it all goes pear shaped and very importantly someone you trust!]
