first time acid

So I'm dropping acid for the first time tommorow in the wonderful state of Wisconsin. Any suggestions, comments or warnings would be great.

Be cool, and so will your trip.

How old are you, might I ask?

20, and I've been waiting for a long time for this.

Just relax and have a good time man. Keep your cell phone off, and anything else that can bring you back to reality.

Make sure you get your favorite orange juice and bubble gum. If it's good acid, and you don't have any negative people/things around you, then you will have a blast.

And if the acid is on paper, then make sure you pay for a full hit. A lot of people like to sell one hit, and divide it up into 4 hits. So really you're only taking 1/4 a hit. I had 3 hits dropped on tums and it absorbed amazingly well into my system. Also, If it's good stuff, I wouldn't take more than 3 hits your first time. That is plenty and you will love it. And unless you take a lot, don't expect to see purple elephants and all that crap.

Exactly. Don't expect anything, don't try to rush the experience, just sit back and let it do its thing.

Like he said, if you only take 1-2 hits, depending on the cid, you won't be out that badly. I had 1 of some very clean lsd a month or two back, and I had very slight visuals, but I had a great time.

I have done it twice. I recommend that you take it early in the morning because you will be trippin all day. Definately have bud with you because everytime you smoke it increases your high and definately makes you more relaxed. I would go out in the forest and what not and just venture around if you can. Im hoping your doing this with a friend or something and not by yourself. It just isn't the same if your by yourself Just have fun and expect not to sleep at night.

Have a good breakfast the morning you take it too

I would suggest if your at a house have most of your shit set up. Definately get some orange juice and either a pack of gum or a bag of starburst because sometimes you clench your jaw. My first time I went to a poolhall and slept over a friends house and for the first 5-6 hours I was having the best time of my life and for about an hour period I had a bad trip and eventually pulled out of it. You definately need to be confident in yourself because I felt lucky that I pulled myself out of the bad trip because I've seen people spend an entire trip feeling how I did for one hour.

1. Cyric is right, keep your phone off/don't answer phonecalls. My one "bad trip" in many uses (past tense because the supply dried up, damn) was brought about by answering my phone.

2. Remember you need to eat and drink water. It can be easy to forget this.

3. Remember it's just a chemical working through your system and it WILL pass.

4. Most people at some point on most trips regret taking the drug and wish they were sober. Be cool, deal with things, and know you will go back to enjoying yourself.

5. Don't hang out with people you don't fully trust or get into situations where you'd ordinarily be a little on edge/paranoid (because it'll be 10, 000 times worse on acid).

6. Try to have a sober and trusted companion with you to help you out as need be.

7. Don't try to drive.

8. You can't be fully prepared for acid the first time. It's a very powerful drug that totally changes perception. The visual stuff is often a very minor component of the trip.

I highly, highly reccomend, staying in for the first time you trip. You need to be comfortable with your surroundings, and the people that are around you. Don't take it too late at night or you'll never get to sleep. Also have pretty of weed handy, to help knock you out when you do want to try to sleep. And also just know that you'll feel like absolute shit the next day as well, so make sure you don't have anything important to do the next day. Let us know how it goes.....

I just wanted to correct the " 3. Remember it's just a chemical working through your system and it WILL pass." acid breaks down and passes threw your system in like 2 or so hours, the lsd doesnt make you trip, it sets off your brain ona trip and it just comes out of it when the time is right, so basically you could take it and trip forever, but its very unlikly

Very good advice. +rep for watchin out

i used to eat acid like candy and geltabs but i do agree with stick to one hit for first time and i always liked to be camping or by fire away from people and stay out of drivers seat at least until u have more experience with it and then only if it is a must like driving back from concerts or raves you will surely love it but remember there are peaks to acid u should remember that u will feel like you are coming down but smoke a joint or a cig and i always buy the vitamin c drops like cough drops and plenty of liquids.p.s..if you drink alcohal you will not feel the effects until the acid wears off so keep in mind of how much you drink,and glowsticks are awesome.....talking about it makes me want to do some i do have a bootleg recipe on how to make it you only need two ingredients neither one illegal

Ok im not trying to scare you and hopefully you have already tried your first trip so this doesent put you off.

About 5 years ago i was in a friends house with a few friend having a few beers and j's just chilling when the subject of getting trips come up so we decided to have a speek about it and ended up getting a whole sheet full (strawbs)that was the name of them.

There was about five or six of us in there all having tuns on my friend decks to see who could scratch the best

We all took a full one each and sat down and started talking about shite that happens on trips,about half way into the night one of the people in the house thought it would be a good idea to go and sit in the house owners clothing wardrobe.

We were all laphing or balls of at this time and thinking to areselfs "whats this guy doing" ?

He ended up staying in there for around three hours and wouldent come out.

Everyone was getting worried about him and eventualy got him to come out,the only problem was he looked different and was acting strange.

We all thought he just had a very bad trip and should go home and try and sleep it off,but a few weeks later come and no one had heard from him.

He showed up about a month later still looking the same and acting strange.

His complection changed from a normal skin coulour to a dull dark gray/green coulour and when he walks down the road he tends to look as if he is sticking to shop windows as he is walking.





I have never touched a trip since and would never do again.

To see someone normal one day then the next looking like a smack head is quite hard to belive.

Man don't scare him out of tripping acid for his first time which was obviuosly stated in the OP. This is called a "permi-trip" and this only happens when you trip balls and your mind does'nt come back to reality so your stuck on an acid trip. I don't even know if these are true I've just heard of them. I've also heard of people taking extreme amounts of LSD and not being normal again, maybe it falls under the same category, maybe not.

Thats why a said i hope he had his first trip before reading this story and another thing is i know its true because i have seen it with my own eyes.

Also the person affected only had two in that night so i wouldent class that as a large amount would you ?

take a shit before tripping. pooing while frying balls sucks

And here I am, back to earth after one of the most amazing trips of my life. It really wasn't what I expected. I expeced more visuals like my shroom trips, but it was more of an "inner high". We spent most of the late afternoon until sunset just walking through the woods and exploring. We just followed a path and ended up where we started. After walking out of the woods it was dark and we came upon a lake where the moon was shining its light onto. The water was absoultely calm and serene. My friend then decided to toss a huge stone in the water and the ripples it made started flowing to us and it seemed as if they continued flowing out of the water into enternity.


The only tense moment was when we had got back from the nature walk and smoked a bowl and a j, then we listened to Crimson and Clover by I believe Thommy James and the Shandels. During the song my buddy looked at me and said with such chilling honesty, "This song is too good." He than got up and said he had to go for a walk. When he came back a little later he told us that he was very close to losing it. After this we all just chilled and talked about the earlier part of the trip and everything smoothed out nicely.

Overall it was an amazing, amazing experience, and I've felt like I've really gained insight into my own mind. As long as the setting and people you with are are chill it will work out good. Also turning the cell off was key. Thanks for all the advice from everyone, I appreciate it greatly.

If you want your visuals to increase, just take a bit more next time..(Even one hit can make the visuals waay better.) But don't ever take much more than you're used to taking.

I might try acid for the first time tomorrow
I'm going to my friends trailer so we can chill by the fire and go adventuring in the woods if we want, and we have somewhere that we can go inside and just do what we need to do. After reading this article I'm way more prepared for my trip. The only thing we dont have is someone sober to look after us, but I think we'll be ok. It's my best friend and I and We're good at looking after each other, so it'll be ok.
