Any general tips for someone who’s planning on taking LSD for the first time?

Newbie Question

As the title says, I’m gonna try LSD for the first time in a couple of days. I’ve had it tested to make sure it is of quality and I’ve gotten it from a reliable guy who supplies me with other goodies from time to time.

From what I’ve been able to learn, the peak is usually 1-3 hours after ingestion and the dose I’m looking at is 120ug. Any general tips would be greatly appreciated since I’m not sure what to expect.

Don't do it in the mountains or a place outside I've done it and got really confused and shit could get really bad if I had a bad reaction. Stay at home, turn of the lights and get a disco ball or something like that. Drink a lot of water and make smoothies and you'll enjoy your night to the fullest.

IME, I need to walk around on a come up because I get really anxious. Going outside is great, just make sure you have a home base and are familiar with the area and don't wander too far. I had a couple trips that would've turned sour if I hadn't gone outside for a 20 min walk.

Just go with the flow, don’t panic if you feel strange or overwhelmed, it’s normal. It’s an amazing experience in my opinion. If things start to go bad, just gently remind yourself that it’s just the lsd, anything you feel rn will pass eventually. If you’re doing it by yourself, I recommend making a playlist of your favourite songs beforehand and listen to them during your trip, or watch a movie. Everything feels so much more intense and emotional on lsd, so youll enjoy those things more :) I also recommend not looking in the mirror. That’s a personal preference, although I know others mention it too because in my experience I look insane and can see all my pores, flaws, etc. anyways, I’m babbling, just relax and enjoy!

I will remember this! I’ll have a friend that’s gonna watch me to make sure I don’t do anything I’d regret!

Just keep your head space in a positive place. Music is really good so if you want, set up a playlist and jam to that (make sure it's longer, I've heard that short playlists can cause thought loops). Other than that, just remember it's a stimulant and you'll likely have trouble sleeping for a while after you've come down.

Thank you! Any particular music that you’d recommend?

I used to roll a lot and always listened to MDMA like music when I tripped too...

Then I realized that Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and The Beatles literally made music on LSD and it shows when you are tripping! Some of the best music I have ever listened to while tripping and I was never really into it before. Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven literally knocked my socks into another dimension.

Good think that that’s the music I usually listen to then. Looking forward to experiencing the difference while tripping!

If you have Spotify, I made a playlist to keep good vibes going during your trip: https://open.spotify.com/user/12161131021/playlist/2vqx7KEAe6ThXdlF1e1VQZ?si=QNN43zaYTOG_QZbLodUoCg

Lots of water!! Or something like Gatorade. And depending on your trip if you want to enhance it a little smoke some tree. Lol. Just definitely keep positive thoughts and enjoy the ride!

As a person who hasn't danced with Lucy yet, I've watched that show and always figured it would be great for tripping.

Have you ever watched "Brad Neely's Harg Nallin' Sclopio Peepio" (also formerly on Adult Swim), especially while tripped out? That's been my go-to for shrooming ever since I found out about it, so it's something I'll definitely plan on watching for my first acidic experience. The only shitty parts are just some annoying repetitive shit, but the rest of it is just whacky shit and it's hilarious. As Dr. Steve Brule says, "Check it out!"

Just take it. No need to come to a forum with lackluster knowledge on lsd itself, have a comfortable place where you can meditate in and you should be fine. Overthinking is futile
