[user_1919]

Have a good trip. Stay calm, observe, and have fun!

 

[Forkbender]

Smile, enjoy and don't make any plans.

First time on acid is usually great (and sometimes chaotic).

 

[mysticwarrior]

Create the best set & setting which you can create! And do like fork says, SMILE and let all the things go. And if everything go's alright, you will have a nice wonderful trip and else you meat the darkness...:snakeman:

Have a nice trip! Have fun and enjoy!

If your used to shrooms, you'll be fine with acid. Everything freaky has a hilarious note to it. It doesn't suck you up that much. Shrooms pull your mind, while acid pushes your mind imho...

 

[Forkbender]

^It can pull as well, but most of the times it is more controllable than shrooms.

 

[Ultima]

well thats good to know. sometimes on shrooms it feels like i dont have much control over my body, hard to explain. but now i know i should go camping for my trip. i dont like acting crazy around people, i get a little parinoid that im gunna go to jail. hrmmm bannf should be fun!

Banff! You are going to have the most amazing experience of your life. It is so beautiful there! Just remember to let go and go with the flow. What ever comes your way, just observe it from a neutral perspective.

PEACE & LOVE

 

[Forkbender]

Have a great time in Jabanff. It is beautiful out there, but make sure you find a quiet spot. imho Jasper would be better (more quiet) and the road up there is amazing.

 

[user_1919]

and the road up there is amazing.

Yes and long. That is one of the routes we encountered in our road trip. There is so many beautiful places you can stop. It took us almost 6 hours to get from Banff to Jasper due to stopping every 2 minutes to take pictures and be immersed in the beauty!

PEACE & LOVE

 

[Forkbender]

^It is even more rewarding to hike it. It'll be a nice week or two.

 

[user_1919]

Oh yeah, for sure a week. The weather is so unpredictable also. When we were driving, it started to snow at one point!

 

[druglessdouglas]

if youve taken shrooms you will love acid and it shouldnt give you any nasty surprises. acid is the best imo


banff. i thought you were talking about this sh*t hole

i guess it was named after this place. dont be fooled by this photo, its the last place you want to trip. lots of smack here though

 

[GOD]

I agree about the mushrooms . To me they are LSDs little brother . Soft and managable . LSD in good doses is realy powerfull and you can loose yourself totaly if your not carefull .

ive had 400mic twice. both times were the best experiences of my life. it felt like 12 hours coming up and lasted over 18. i kept completely slipping into this other world where there were huge aztec/olmec giants walking about on a plane 3 meters above my head. i could play with my aura. the colours leaked out of my friends shirt and flowed like liquid oil around every surface. my slutty flatmate came in with a stolen flower basket and i remarked "couldnt you just take a man home like normal?" at which point she jamp on me and gave me the BEST kicking ive ever had, it was great, i loved it. but my friend freaked so we went out and got very lost in the swirling purple chaotic paisley madness.
we were in a park and at the same time in a vietnam war movie, all explosions and white phosphorus. "what the f*ck is that?" "i dont know" was about as deep as the conversation got. the thing is our heads felt clear. the chaos was all outside our heads. no confusion beyond the swirling visual paterns.
with mushrooms a lot of the chaos would have been internal

today is going to be my first experience with acid and i'm really stoked

question though,

when i first started smoking cannabis, one of my favorite aspects of it were the profound insights i had. but over time, i stopped getting them and now i mostly just get "stoned"

does this also happen with stronger psychedelics?

 

[Bastiaan]

That's normal, if you stopped using cannabis for a while and then smoked again your insights will be better again.
With other psychedelics I really don't know.
I think it's the same but people don't usually use these as much as people use cannabis I think.
I myself use cannabis as rarely as any other psychedelic but I know most people use it much more.
I have used it a lot in my past as well though so I know about this lessening of insight quality.
Just leave enough time in between your experiences and you won't have to worry about the answer is my advice.
It's an interesting question though

 

[user_1919]

Don't abuse and it won't happen.

 

[druglessdouglas]

if you take acid on a weekly basis the insights become rarer and less profound. if you take a long break you will regain the insights again. it becomes "new" again and will teach you about yourself again

how do you guys relate to the amount of trips per unit of time?

I, personally, have been thinking about this lately. What things, of any color and form, have modified the amount of trips per unit of time?

I usually just follow a whisper inside when deciding to take a trip. and it may vary from once a month or less, to once a week.
