LSD

[Doobie Snax]

So, basically i've got a tab of LSD, just the one unfortunately, i was looking to sell some.

Anyway, things have been pretty shit at home lately bla bla bla so up until recently i've been pretty depressed but things are not bad at the minute. I'm mentioning this because apparently you have to be completely happy to have a good trip, i don't wanna have 6 hours or whatever of some really scary shit.

HOW can i GUARANTEE a good trip, it doesn't have to be amazing, i'm just scared that i'm gonna take it and freak out. Is all that exaggerated, when people say that 'if you're feeling bad, you'll have a bad trip' - do they mean it quite so literally, or do they mean it just won't be as good?

I know people can have shit scary ones because i've read many trip reports, i just wanna make sure it all goes ok basically.

So, here's where i need your help, what can i do to make sure my trip is positive, not negative? - And should i perhaps only take half the tab?

Peace

id almost say dont worry and take it. im not in the best of moods lately, with a ton of shit on my mind, and i still had like the best trip last friday. but you could smoke some bud with good friends before hand, smoke after, and HAVE A FUCKING BLAST!

Unless it's very high quality LSD (which I doubt, most LSD blotters that I know of seem to be around the 100 ug mark), I wouldn't split it in half. Also, the trip really is all dependent upon your will power, I've dropped acid when I'm in a shitty mood, and was able to control the direction of the trip. It's more difficult than on shrooms, however a "bad trip" is still possible. However, I've had what most would describe as a "bad trip" and I found myself emerging from it as a better person, it's really all indicative of your mind frame and will power. With that said, if you only have one blotter of what I'm assuming to be average acid, a bad trip won't really have that much of an effect, the only times which I've had a "bad trip" on acid would be at doses of six or seven tabs at a very high potency.

NOTE: Everybody's trip is different, as is everybody's mind. Although in my experience "bad trips" are merely another way of which to know myself better and to expand my conciousness, some who are merely looking for "a good time" might not be comfortable with. There's always that risk. Enjoy.

have u done any hallucinogen before?

You can't guarantee a good trip. The fact that you ask that question and seem a little nervous makes me suggest that you wait a little while. Wait for the situation at home to cool down. Whatever shit is going on in ur life can easily keep coming back at u and back at u on a hallucinogen.

And don't pretend that your happy one day just so you can take the acid.

Intelligent words. If you are "scared that you will freak out," you probably will. A good idea is to go read a bunch of trip reports on erowid. This will show you both good and bad experiences and will give you something to think about. I did the same thing before I took shrooms for the first time. Just take a couple days to think about it and then see how you feel about taking it.

However, you'll never really be perfectly fine with an acid trip, there always is a slight apprehension at the beginning, it all depends on if that turns into a terror of sorts.

its probably lsd-24 and most blotters are 75 microdots

[audiocide]

Apparently hubblebubble is confused. :confused: All LSD-## that Hoffman made were shown as inactive besides LSD-25.. But there is speculation that real LSD-25 hasn't been around since Hoffman's shining day and other bs... It's too much. Just be sure that there is no chance you will encounter a person or situation that is uncomfortable. Any tasks done, errands ran, calls made, etc.

And you could have a fake blotter, a 5 microgram [ug] blotter, or your blotter could be effing saturated (feels stiff) up to 150-200ug. Which is like 2 decent 'hits.' Some would say 3 based on today's standards....

And try to just enjoy it. Sometimes a bit of a placebo effect on top is better than the pure effect.

LSD seems to amplify your mood, so be in a very apathetic or happy mood. Find something to do or a place you like that will lighten your mood, and time it to where this situation arrives upon you at about +1 hour post-drop.

Happy tripping.

im not confused dude the majority of lsd is lsd-24 as it is easier/cheaper to produce hoffmans original synthesis lsd-25 is the real deal

[audiocide]

There is LSD-25 in Hoffman's method, and there is a cheaper, more efficient way to make it that produces a speedier feeling. This was discovered shortly after Hoffman developed the chemical fully. However, if you were told it was LSD-24 you were told wrong... It is just another way of making it that is somehow less pure. Hoffman himself noted that all besides LSD-25 were useless.

Which brings up the discussion of "has LSD-25 been available since the day Hoffman made it?" Some people doubt this 'better' synthesis method and believe that it does not simply remove or include a certain something that changes the trip feeling, but instead is a whole new chemical. But that's more threadjacking that I am already doing... I apologize.

And The only reason I used the word confused was because you said 75 microdots. =D

what do you call them

[hubblebubble]

are you trying to pose as some lsd expert and youve never heard of the terminology microdots?

[sugarmagnolia]

What environ were u planning on tripping in. That is a huge issue. But for you I would like to bring up the fact that you have recently been facing depression. THis alone is enough facts from you for me to disagree with any statements saying you should do acid in a recent time frame. It is unsafe and wont' be very fun if your mind heads on a crash course. I must look like I'm trying to be a buzzkill on this board, but hallucinogens really can cause a lot of mood swings and you doh't want to all of a sudden be sad and not be able to pin why are you sad, or even worse yet know why you are sad and think about it hte whole trip.

Wait till the time is right. You know the time isn't right, for if you knew the time was right you wouldn't be posting on cannabis.com for advice.

Live long and prosper

When they say if you are feeling bad you will have a bad trip, they mean it literally. Acid will amplify whatever feelings you have by 100000 so yeah its not a good idea to be taking it while depressed. Just wait until things start getting better or give it away to someone who is happy

[Doobie Snax]

That's the thing, like i said in my 1st post, things are a lot better now.
Also, (post 8) audiocide, the tab is pretty thick and feels stiff, i expected it to be almost floppy, but its like two sheets of card (only way i can describe thickness).

As for the environ. that i intend to trip in, i'm gonna be with my mate's sister, we blaze together and stuff so i know she's all good, i got it off her and she'll be trippin with me, with my mate hopefully sitting for the two of us.

Peace

Then this one:

The term "microdot" refers to the way acid is sold. It it NOT a unit of measurement. LSD is measured in micrograms: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "75 MICRODOTS" UNLESS YOU HAVE 75 INDIVIDUAL DOSES ON MICRODOT!


Unfortunately, I haven't had any acid in over 30 years - and judging by the quality of the shit that people write in about, it will be at least that long until I have any decent stuff again! We used take halves, quarters, and, if I hadn't had any for a few weeks, even EIGHTHS of acid (from ALD-52 a cousin to acid, sometimes called "sunshine"), and trip-out for 12 hours.

Try to take the time to read the Pscychedelic Experience by Dr. Tim Leary, et al. I used to have it in hardcover, but it's now on the web for free :

[heatherhatesyou]

i dont care how acid's measured. i dont care about my surroundings. i don't care what it looks like. i take acid and i love it. my subconscious spills out into the open. it's the most beautiful and positive drug i've ever tried.

acid is only productive if you're ready to face what your subconscious holds. for some people what they see scares them. for me, i see rainbows.

it's up to you.

LSD always seems to kick me in the ass, Special K is much nicer. And shorter.

Please elaborate, I fear my knowledge of chemistry is not up to the challenge. Perhaps it is only the fact you do not know the difference between "microdots" and "micrograms" which gives me the courage to question your wisdom.
