Know your dealer. Don't get it through any shady sources(goes without saying for any drug)
I've only done it a few times, and had good experiences overall. But the last time I took it, I didn't really trip for the first two hours. Then I decided it was bunk. Tried to go to sleep, and couldn't. And heard a loud piercing noise on and off for a while.
And that's why I decided never to take it again. |

I've done it twice. Those two afternoons / nights were the best drug experiences of my life. :)
If you decide to take it, you should know a few things first (other than the most obvious thing: get the stuff from somebody you trust, preferably someone who has done a hit of the same stuff himself):
(1) You'll probably have a whole lot of ups and downs, really good and really bad feelings during a single trip, and those feelings will seem like they're never going to end because of what acid does to your sense of time. Still, you have to remember in the back of your mind that you're just tripping and that the acid will wear off eventually.
(2) If you have any paranoia or worry at all about your mental or physical health, be prepared for a sense of dread to hit you as the acid starts to kick in. You may think, "Why did I do this to myself? What if I end up permanently damaged?" Etc. I ended up freaking out on shrooms once because of this feeling, but after that experience I learned to stay rational enough to avoid having any blowouts on acid.
What happened for me was that I felt this fear / dread for the first two or three hours and then I was able to relax and enjoy the ride.
(3) Signs that it's kicking in: Time seems to slow down. You may have trouble interpreting things people say, or notice yourself interpreting speech or text in eccentric / unusual ways. You may also interpret noises differently, e.g. when I was tripping the sound of a crowd cheering on the TV sounded like a bunch of people being slaughtered. Ordinary objects will start to look more visually "interesting," and you'll start to notice more patterns in textured objects (like wood grain, for example). You'll probably feel a bit nervous and your heart rate will go up.
(4) Good way to keep calm: Have something readily available to concentrate on other than just your own thoughts, especially for the first few hours, during which you might be feeling pretty uneasy. I found that music helped, since songs have predictable start and end points. Which brings me to...
(5) Setting: For your first trip one of the best ways to keep calm is to stay in a predictable environment, one where things like social interaction, level of noise, sights and sounds are all fairly well under your control. Be in a place that seems safe to you. You can walk around outside (I did), but for your first trip you probably shouldn't venture very far from whatever your "safe" place is. One fun thing to do, though, is have a sober friend drive you around with some of your favorite music playing. It's just awesome: the way the road moves, all the colors of the lights at night, the way music sounds, etc. I had my friend drive by a local lake, too, which was looked amazing.
Take the right precautions, and you can have a lot of fun. I'm a very introspective person, so I spent a lot of the time in my room by myself, listening to music and just thinking about a lot of different things. If you end doing something similar, know that you will question lots of things about your life, big things like important relationships or your future or religious beliefs or whatever. That you may end up asking yourself some things that make you uncomfortable, questions whose answers you may not like or want to consider. Some people end up wishing they hadn't tripped because of issues or doubts that tripping can bring to the surface. I thought it was worth it -- your mileage may vary. |

Ah, the power of suggestion.
I had this idea for a while now on how to really up a person's acid trip. But I could never do it to anyone because I thought it would be too messed up. So I'll share it to the c0r. Go up to someone that you don't know, but obviously know that they're on acid, like at a party or some other social event. Walk up to the person steadily, and in a solemn but assertive tone say, "Satan is coming for you." Then pretend like you just came out of some weird trance, shake your head for a moment, and then walk away. I hypothesize that the person will be in a total :wtf: mode he/she will probably end up believing what you said was true and freak out. And if he/she does decide to come back up to you and try to threaten you, just give them a crazy look and disavow any knowledge of saying anything. Should work well. |

I've personally never done it but if I were to try it this would be the most important thing to take into consideration. My opinion on this is that one must question these things whether or not they like the answer they come up with. It is important to your development as human and as a person. Those who do not like such an experience are those who do not wish to grow and become better people.
This is perhaps why LSD was hailed as a wonder drug by the psychological community of the late 50s/early 60s when it was still legal. Sadly it was never put into widespread use under the supervision of psychologists; this could have been very beneficial. LSD being leaked and widely used by the public can be seen as beneficial in some aspects but its also caused many to abuse the drug, merely taking it to get "ed up" rather than explore and expand their own minds and better themselves as people. |

Another thing to watch for: when you talk to people, you may find yourself leaving things out, words or sentences, because you think that the stuff you leave unspoken is somehow "implied" by the stuff you actually do say.
I found myself doing this a few times, to the confusion of others. :p |

This is also very true for shrooms.
I spent one night on 6 grams of shrooms "exploring my mind", and evaluating my life from a "different perspective".
That night literally morphed my life into something 100% entirely different than it had been the day before. I felt that I was looking at myself from a disconnected and unrelated point of view that helped me to make decisions about my future, my relationships, my job, my life in general without having the emotional or personal attachment to any of it. Quite frankly, it was one of the most enlightening experiences of my life, and without it, I am not sure where I would be today. That night encouraged me to take action in areas of my life that at that point, I was too afraid to do anything about.
It can be scary though. To objectively assess your life can be a little overwhelming; you become far more aware of things that your emotions, fears, wants etc. normally cloud your judgement from.
Not to mention, if you are in a bad place in life, it can be frightening to truly understand how bad things might be, and what kind of a mess you might be in. At the same time, it gives you the insight to change it, and pull yourself out of that bad place. Luckily for me, that is how things worked out.
My suggestion: If you decide to go through with it, and you find yourself on a self realizing trip, go with it, accept it, and don't dismiss it as "acid influenced nonesense". Keep in mind though, not to confuse a self realizing trip with a self freakifying trip.
If you can learn from the experience, and grow as a person afterward, you have had a successful acid trip. |

Again, I really love your descriptions of your drug time :)
I'm always hopeless at any kind of coherent story, it just ends up....so random... |

taking high quality acid (preferably sandoz delysid) is still on my to-do list for life, and the longer it'll be on that list, the higher the likelyhood of me compromising for lesser quality acid will be.
i trust no one that i know regarding measuring acid quality. :( |

^^ You worry too much, a lot of the underground chemists produce LSD that is even purer than the stuff Sandoz put out back in the day. Many of them are very skilled and meticulous.
LSD has led to some sticky situations, but in the end stuff always works out for the better! |
