Drugs are good, mmkay?

[psu199]

Does anyone else think it's funny that various plants and mushrooms evolved to produce these crazy effects in possible predators so they wouldn't get eaten, and now those same effects are the reason that they're being eaten today? Maybe I'm just stupid, but I think it's pretty ironic.

Shrooms are OK I guess, but back in my misspent youth, I did LSD before any other drug besides weed, so other hallucinogens just couldn't cut the cake compared to LSD.

The advice given by some folks here about being a good mood, nice safe environment, etc is really important. Nothing fucks up a good trip more than "reality people" killing the buzz. Couple other tips from someone who has dropped maybe 200 hits of LSD in my day:

1) Darkness and TV are good things. So are locked doors and unplugged phones. Keep the trip contained to a small environment and all will go well.

2) Orange juice, a multivitamin, and any soda with caffeine are all handy to have around as well. I always recommend to anyone looking to trip that they down a half gallon of OJ and a multivitamin about an hour before dosing. Being strung out sucks, and taking the vitamins, especially C, helps mitigate it.

3) Be in a good mood. And I mean, pay your bills, balance your checkbook, do your homework, clean your house, etc. Get life nice and tidy before you trip. Even the tiniest nagging thought can wreck an otherwise decent trip.

4) Get a notepad and some pens. Nothing is funnier than reading the crazy shit you were thinking about while tripping a few days later. I did this with a girl one night after tabbing down 3 hits of window pane, and man was that some hysterical stuff. Best was "Oh my fucking god, the closet just ate Tracey. I'm so scared, but Pink Floyd rules." We giggled for weeks reading that shit.

5) Fuck mushrooms, go for the gusto and drop acid. It's cheaper, lasts longer, better trip, and the peak is more pure. Easy to score at any hippie show like Phish or whatever.

6) Be very, very, very cautious about tripping with a significant other. Ecstasy is one thing, and good fun for sex games, but shrooms and LSD can do crazy things to relationships. I recommend never doing it, but have successfully tripped with a girlfriend once, so it is technically possible. Just beware.

7) Stay away from hard liquor, buy beer instead. Good to mellow the edge of a trip if it gets too hairy.

8) Don't spend too much time near mirrors if you're new to the game. It can suck hard hallucinating on your own image. Best to run through a few trips before braving the mirror. Same for toilets and sinks. The old adage of "don't look down" works good for that stuff.

9) In general, remember the rule that an ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure. The more you stock up, arrange things and prepare for your trip, the better off things will go, and the more fun you'll have. Spend that money and those braincells wisely, as both are in limited supply. =)

That about covers my advice. Like I said, I tabbed probably 200 times before I hit 21, and ate shrooms maybe 20 times. I haven't gone near drugs in the 15 years since, and likely never will again save alcohol, but it can't hurt to help new folks get the best for their buck. Have fun, stay safe, and keep it from getting out of control.

Venjenz: Great advice.

Dropping acid is one of the best things I have ever done for myself in my entire life.

I dropped for the first time when I was in 7th grade and I admit that was too young and not for the best. Since then I dropped a few times throughout my highschool career.

The last time I dropped acid was my junior year of high school (currently in the summer before my junior year of college). It was an amazing trip and after it I was literally a completely different person.

I went from being a degenerate who never did anything except smoke weed and do coke and painkillers to a person who actually had some motivation. I went from normal classes to all AP or honors and my gpa went from 2.3 to 4.0. It was the changes that occured in me after the trip that helped me join an economics team which helped me get into a decent college (Bentley College in MA) rather than going to community college. I still did well in college and was able to transfer to NYU where I have a joint major in Economic Theory and Mathematics and am minoring in Mandarin Chinese.

I'm not saying taking acid will make you smart or anything, but it definetely straightened my life out and I have been working more to my potential since then.

On the negativer side, being a non-stop party animal got me more ass than being a somewhat diligent student does.

OR MAYBE! you should find someone that doesn't think you are so fucking stupid and will sell you real shrooms... 4g's? and nothing? fuck that

[Zanetsu]

As much as I hate to say it, Twiztid is right, no fuckin way you ate 4g's and didnt get shit off of even a crappy shroom, your shit was bunk as fuck.

I agree. I had an eighth of some blue stem gold capped shrooms, and this was not even close to my first shroom trip but it was the most I had at once and I never tripped so hard in my life. I had a horrible trip I thought I was going to die, worst 2hours (The peak) of my life. But it makes a really great story.

[Blaezenfury]

jesus christ you guys are retarded or somthing.

I said that the shrooms were fucking garbage, hell my friend is 5'10 130 pounds and she took 3 G's and didint feel shit, my other friend is about 6'2 and 200 and he didint feel shit either. they were shitty quallity.

I'm very, very sensitive to marijuana, I believe. Even at the peak of when I was smoking it, which was only 4-5 times a week, every time I smoked it would paralyze me.

I was left in this state where the rest of my body didn't exist and it seemed like all the energy that went to powering it went directly to my brain. I won't say that I "tripped" because I've never done a hallucinogen to compare it to, but depending on when and where the location was it would have polar opposite effects.

I remembered times where I was the typical "laugh at anything" stoner which was very incredibly enjoyable and intense, but then other times I was in a brooding contemplating mood. I would look at a bottle of Ketchup and just become so depressed by the label because I instantly saw that the marketing had absolutely nothing to do with the product. I had been fooled.

Various things like the latter would happen depending on what was around me. I would say the largest epiphany's of my life happened while on marijuana.

iv done a lot of shrooms in my time, and i know this will sound cleche(sp) but i had the best time doin em in amsterdam. I bought this small bag of hawaiian shrooms, and thought yea il down this and get some minor high, but it was great! Closest to acid iv come to from shrooms, had a ball!

but yea the dude who pasted a few posts up about advice is right better then the lame kid who was like did e ugly chicks got naked and seemed hot, i highly doubt you have done e son. ugly chicks dont get hot, you just feel more like having sex, the chick is sitll ugly and you know it.

e/coke and shrooms/lsd are on totally different levels. e/coke gives you intense focus. whereas shrooms/lsd gives you like none! Well no focus when talking with others (who aint high)

[twiztid_420]

umm, If you really want to fuck the girl always is alot hotter




x10000 on extacy...

[FusedTritium]

dropping acid ensures that you will not be able to focus on anything for more than 3 seconds...especially when driving. My front bumper is evidence of that.

and yeah...i roll with pure mdma and you know exactly what the girl looks like...it's just that you don't care.

Haha you just dont give a shit cuz everything is awesome.

I just read Venjenz's post and that really is good advice.

Unfortunately I knew none of that before I started. Looked in a mirror for about 20 minutes while going crazy...tried to take a shit and flipped the fuck out on the toilet...called a bunch of people...had shit to do the next day...etc. It was bad.

Here's another thing I've noticed about LSD...every time I drop I always end up smoking cigs near the end of the trip but once it's over I don't want to smoke for like two days. Every time, without fail. Then I start smoking again...but still. Kind of weird.
