Kid A

Who has tried it? I have a free house to go to on the weekend and me and two other friends were considering spending a day there. The original plan was to just smoke pot the whole day, but now we were considering trying acid instead.

Basically me and a friend would get there in the morning and as soon as we were comfortable we'd take a dose while the third friend sits us. Nobody else would be there...three people, one sober, two trying acid for the first time. Free house, no distractions, lots of living space, carpet on the floors etc.

This would technically be the hardest drug I have tried or even dreamed of trying. To be honest I'm not nervous about it, I just wanna know if there's something I should beware of. I've heard people say once you try it you are never the same again, which puts me off completely. I intend this to be a one time thing, or if it really is the time of my life then maybe a twice a year thing. I know there's no health hazards, but I've heard rumours of pyschological effects and personality changes...which scare me more. I just need some advice, and if anyone has tried it I'd appreciate a "warstory." This thread could very well determine my decision.

Edit: Forgot to add...anyone who says anything resembling the following:

omgd drugfs are bad dont do at drugs are foR IDIOTS!

...just don't.
 
Well, being the person that I am, I'd say don't fucking try them. There is really no point. A couple hours of being high is not worth it dude.
 
Okay, let me put my answer this way. I want to feel what burning my hand feels like. I intend it to be a once-only experience. Should I do it? It sounds fun.

I'm biased against the use of all drugs, so sorry, but that's the only way I can answer you.
 
I agree with X-Act and Max. There are so many safer and healthier ways to enjoy life; to me, using drugs is just an excuse to die.
 
To add something unbiased, don't.

My older brother went on a bad trip, and he went vegetable.

I think what they mean by 'never the same again', is that while on Acid, you can see shit. Literally have shit in front of you, and the risk of said 'bad trip' could leave you scarred for life.

It's more russian roulette than other drugs, as most others, you're worried about getting caught, this is hoping you like what you see.

Of course, this is all VERY close secondhand experience, so i'm not t he best example.
 
@Max, Xact and Great Sage

Don't take this as angry, but those kind of comments really don't help. If you're going to say no, even if it's your biases speaking, at least give a reason. "Just an excuse to die" is bollocks and "there's really no point" means nothing. If you're strongly against drugs in general and don't have some sort of anecdote or experience on the matter then it's best not to comment.

And StrangerDanger...out of all the people I've talked to I've never heard of something like that. It's almost hard to believe that it was the drug alone that caused your brother's condition. More details would help.
 
Not to sound degrading, but no health effects? It physically alters the brain. That's a health effect IMO.

I've heard a lot of bad stories about it. A lot of people's minds wasted. If you do, be VERY careful, and take a low dosage at first.
 
Dude, I work in a hospital and let me tell you: never do acid. This chick came in so messed up from it she didn't even recognize her own parents, and couldn't comp-rehend most things being told to her. I was like she was in her own world. And that was only after doing it once. I also heard a story of a guy who came in on the stuff. He thought he was Jesus and was eating dirt. Also, you can randomly have episodes from acid years after you took it.

The point is, doing it in a safe place wont garuntee your safety. You can get so fucked up from it it can fry your brain. And worse, you'd might land yourself in a hospital where your rents would find out. Dont do drugs, get high on a little something called life.
 
Oh oh oh, Kid A, i didnt mean to stop typing.

He's fine now, i didnt mean he's like in a coma, it was just for 2 hours he just flipped his shit, then sort of, blanked for almost a day.

He's fine, but still addicted to such drugs.

All i meant was, (And i have no idea to the physical effects) is it's a gamble, an essential 50-50 to whether the next 2 or so hours is going to be off-the-wall awesome shit, or that scene from Gene Wilder's version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory (you know the one)
 
Everybody who has posted in this thread is an idiot so far. First of all, LSD is not addictive at all, get your facts straight. It is a life-changing experience. It makes the world beautiful (to me) and gives you insights that you could never realize sober. It makes your realize all you thought about reality may not be all there is to it. Everybody, except cowards and victims of government propaganda, should take LSD.

And after your post, that quote just became a whole lot more true. Perhaps my cowardice means I'll never have the guts. ~_~

A drug that alters your mind state so drastically just screams "My life is so fucking boring that I need to take this to keep myself sane."

But on a neutral note, I'm always up for trying something new and I'd probably be tempted if I was in the situation you're describing so I don't blame you for contemplating such a stupid act. Whatever you do, be careful, man.

Uhh no. No lsd user I know, including myself, uses lsd to keep themselves 'sane'. My life is actually filled with action, and lsd just adds to the insanity. And btw, sanity is subjective imo.

On the subject, I have taken lsd about 50 or so times, ranging from one hit to 15 hits (blotters) and also in combination with other drugs such as mushrooms, cannabis, mdma, cocaine, amphetamines, DXM, ketamine and nitrous. I guess you could call me a psychonaut if you feel like labeling things. I have also tried it with heroin but the heroin was too strong and I could barely notice the acid. LSD is my favourite drug, but I have not tried DMT yet.

Tips for a good first acid trip: Have pink floyd on, and be near nature. Have nothing to do and switch your mobile/cell phone off. Take a walk to anywhere but in a familar location so that when you come down you will, hopefully, not be lost. Make sure you are with other trippers, and point out things you see, chances are, that they will see them as soon as you point them out. Make sure the only sober people you have with you are not anti-drug, and preferrably fun people that will tell a lot of silly jokes and stories.
 
Well, you asked for it, so here is an article on lysergic acid diethylamide. Pay special attention to sections 4.3 and 4.4. Are you sure you want to risk temporary insanity and possibly permanent psychosis for that kind of pleasure?
 
Two things that resulted from LSD> One Flew Over The CooCoo's Nest and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. My mother was and still is a hippy and is passing this lore onto me.

She says anyone who plays Pokemon shouldn't do Acid cause it could cause the space-time continuum to remake itself.

On a more serious note, I'd say don't do it. If you do, find out where the LSD came from and if it was laced with anything and don't mix it with ANYTHING on your first time. I've never done it myself but if you want to do a hallucengenic psychotropic drug. Try to learn the bad side effects and what to look out for.

Choop, I wouldn't admit to that considering I prefer to be addicted to games and the net.

I do not condone this action but I also believe in the Wiccan Rede (An Ye Harm None; Do What Ye Will) and if I try to deny him his free will to choose; I am doing harm. Some things have to be learned first hand and this is probably one of them for him.
 
Well there's a lot of irrelevant information in this thread at this point...I'm just wondering if taking this shit will affect my life. I'm a succesful student...I think my life on the whole is great. I average about a 90 in my studies and I hardly devote time to them. I've got a lot of good friends, I've got hobbies, I go out and I enjoy myself as much as I possibly can. I just wanna make sure that when I start school again I can continue this trend.

YES I understand acid trips are intense...it's really the only other drug that appeals to me besides marijuana. I really just wanna experience something like it without having it bite back. If this isn't possible, someone please let me know.

It's going to be reliable stuff, with reliable friends I've known for a long time, in a calm, safe location.

And also, I don't need links to Wikipedia... I can research on my own. I just think some personal facts would be beneficial.

edit:
V I don't need to be reassured that people act abnormal while tripping...that's basically the point. LSD isn't addictive like a lot of drugs fyi. There have been no documented LSD overdoses in history. I realize people can unknowingly put themselves in danger...that's not a problem in this case...I thought I made that point clear. I'm talking about things I could possibly regret in the future, effects of the drug...not fork wounds
 
Stick with weed if you're gonna do anything, LSD will fuck you up. At my school a few years ago, two kids came in trippin balls (LSD and shrooms were in their system) and got into a fucking fork fight stabbing eachother deep as hell and one had to go to the ER, they didn't even realize they were bleeding, they didn't feel the pain. I wish this was funny.

I've seen lots of shit go wrong with drugs, even weed can be bad because all of the dipshit middleschool kids around here buy in town even though all of the shit here is laced to hell and back, it fucks you up, and not in a good way.

The moral of this post: If you do drugs stick with weed, it's still not exactly good for your body (one blunt has as much tar as nearly half a pack of cigs), but if you want a high, it is generally the ONLY drug with which you do not risk addiction or an O.D. death on, just make sure you get the good shit, laced shit can still kill you. Booze is ok too, but avoid driving or going out anywhere with fast traffic when using it, that goes for weed too.
 
stay with your weed and dont adventure past that. This is what I suggest after having parents (esp my father) that was like a garbadge disposal when it came to drugs.
 
I have taken lsd at least 50 times and I haven't had any bad experiences, but that's just me. Oh yeah and I am pretty thick into the rave/party scene here and most of my friends and dozens more aquaintances have never had any bad trips or any thing bad happen to them on acid. But that's just me and the people I know. It's all in the head man. If you think something bad is going to happen, it will happen. If you have a positive outlook and remember that it's just a chemical and will be gone in a few hours, prepare to have an insanely fun trip!
 
Go ahead and take it!

We're not here to make your descisions for you, so go ahead and take a little extra acid. Screw starting with small doses. You'll have the whole thing in your system eventually anyways! Once your high, you're too high to tell your limit, so just take it in all at once.

Don't hold back on us, we want you to tell your experience with us, so perhaps we may be influenced to take a certain course of action.

No reason to be scared of acid, if your body can handle LSD well, why can't it handle acid? Somebody that has survived climbing Mount Everest technically is more fit to climb it than a person who has no experience. You have that background experience, so don't get scared. Just have a hell of a time.

When you do die from overdose, give me joor pogeymanz. Ima gunna clonez them good.
 
Try it, don't listen to the government bullshit on this.

If it isn't that good then not a problem - stuff gets out of your system in a few hours and if you like it you have a new diversion you can use every once and a while. But be careful - it's powerful stuff.

I think I gave my reason clearly enough, even though I used an example to convey it.

LSD is the drug that can cripple someone's brain the most, out of all drugs. I won't divulge on its effects, seeing as other people here have given a hint of it, and you said explicitly that you "can research all of that yourself". Note the word 'can cripple', not 'will cripple', meaning it didn't cripple the brain of everyone that tried it. But, to use my example again, not everyone crippled their hands after burning it, either. That doesn't mean that burning your hand is an advisable thing to do, though, right?

You say you're afraid that your life will be affected after taking the drug. I think you're not an idiot, and can choose between

1) Taking the drug and have X% chance of affecting your life, where X is greater than zero.
2) Not taking the drug and have 0% chance of affecting your life.

Bottom line is: do what you like, after all. I'm not forcing you to do anything, and probably nobody here is. I just gave my opinion. You can either accept it or reject it; it's fine by me. I gave it for free, after all.

Why, thank you for calling me an idiot. So just because you take LSD and it makes your world beautiful means that everyone should take LSD? What kind of argument is that?

It can affect you in a positive way. Just taking LSD once will not harm a healthy person's mental health (well there is about a .0001% chance)

I wasn't arguing, man, I was just giving the opinion of an experiences LSD user. Which is probably a more credible opinion from someone (forgive me if I've assumed wrong) has not touched LSD. If it was up to me, I would force everyone to consume LSD, but it's not, and never will be. The reason for this is so other people can experience what I have experienced and see things and experience the extreme euphoria that LSD creates for me. However, I know lsd will not affect everyone as positively as it has affected me and my mates, but whatever.

Take the lsd and don't even think about it. Just let it take you where you want to. If you realize you are somewhere you don't want to be, or a sober person with you (highly recommended) realizes you are in distress, you can will yourself out of there with your mind. Godspeed, man.
 
I have someone who wants to say something about this:

Hey Kid A, I would of signed up for Smogon to say this, but I'm too lazy so instead I'm spamming my boyfriend's account.

Personally, I've never taken acid, but my older brother used to take it a lot when he was about 18. He's 30 now, and as far as I know he was perfectly fine in the years from 18 - 30. It's only now the side-effects have really started to show. He gets weird flashbacks from the trips he used to have, and will zone out for hours at a time. This might not sound so bad, but he has two kids under the age of three who need looking after, if he had flash backs while looking after them, or spaced out while driving - well, I'm sure you can see why that's bad.

Ultimately it's up to you, and I'm definitely no expert on LSD or any sort of drugs, but while your first trip may be fine, and you could be fine for years to come - it's the slight chance that something might go wrong even years from now that should be taken into consideration too.

Good luck with which ever choice you make. :)
 
I remember getting a drugs talk in school a couple of years ago and though I'd previously had no interest in them whatsoever, and still don't for the most part, I always wondered what it would be like to have a trip with LSD or shrooms.

Magic Mushroom trips are apparently less intense than LSD ones, so you might want to try them instead. Also, I've heard that your mood greatly effects the sort of trip you experience. Because of this, if you do it be in the company of friends, on a full stomach, in a familiar place, maybe with some of your favourite music playing in the background (though perhaps not if you're a big fan of hard rock and rap, heh).

Though bear in mind that a good trip *will* make you want to have another, so you may end up getting hooked on the stuff and fucking yourself up regardless of whether you intended it to be a one time thing or not. (Also, the only prior experience I have with drugs is being within a couple of metres of two of my friends smoking weed for like 3 mins.)
