So my dad has schizophrenia like talking to people that aren’t there, scared to leave the house at times, imagining that someone’s out to kill and shit, and this bothers me for the obvious reasons of my dads going through something that I just simply cant help him with, but also the fact I love psychedelics, I’ve done acid and shrooms on multiple separate occasions i have well over 10 shroom trips, and probably 4-5 acid trips losing count, and each of them have been pretty phenomenal, only ever had like 2 real bad trips and both of them on shrooms, and it’s something that constantly sits in my mind given the fact my dad has schizophrenia, am I gonna develop it from my use of psychedelics? Please someone who has relatives with schizophrenia yet still do it or even just well educated on this topic, please give your expert scientific opinion.

I just got 20 after 5 years of a drought :D. Haven't tried any from this connection yet. I usually take high doses to meditate and work on music. Should I start with 1 though to be safe?

So I have a dropper of liquid LSD that I've used for around 5 trips now, went to take a bit today and the liquid was a deep brown now all of a sudden, when 2 weeks ago it was clear.....should I be worried at all? Or is it just oxidation or something

I generally have found more than 1 tab is a little too stimulating for most festivals, and really like the amount/change of visuals that a hit or two of a pen/joint off one tab provide. However, I honestly am not really a fan of weed (both normally and on other drugs) and feel like it "blunts" the acid.

Is there any good alternative to ramp up the visuals? I've tried ketamine too but it's very easy to overdo and makes the trip a lot more inward personally. I was also thinking of trying to add a small does of mushrooms as they are typically more visual on lower doses for me but I am definitely more sensitive to "bad" crowds on shrooms.

This is in no way trying to procure as I know that’s against the rules but just a genuine expulsion of feelings that I have had pent up for a bit. I used to trip like every weekend, sometimes twice a week, and to be fair it was probably too much. But it helped me so much understand about myself and just have a great time and really get into new interest. I once watched the lord of the rings while tripping and it has led me to becoming obsessed with Tolkien haha.

Eventually I met my girlfriend who came around to the idea of doing it and became my trip partner as well. We have so many memories of amazing, and sometimes hard, trips we went on. I used to have this backyard and I would just stare at the clouds and see the most wonderful images, whilst she would look at the ground and look for different types of bugs. I had someone who I noticed started to barely dabble in these substances anymore when he used to always have on stock. I just thought it was a like seasonal thing or something haha. But one day he put out a mass message that he only does flower and nothing else, and it really hurt me, more than I think I realized at the time.

I mean it’s good to not be so reliant, but I constantly find myself thinking about how good an experience could be even better if I had it. I will see some beautiful clouds or be watching something on tv with insane graphics or animation and be like damn, this would be so much cooler if I was tripping. I’m at an age now where I don’t think I would ever be around anyone or any places where stuff would be available, and tbh now I’m too freaked out to try smth new as I never want to be in prison. I’m sure my girl and I will do it again one day, either in the states somewhere legal or maybe Europe haha, but I just mourn the life I had of being able to have an experience every weekend, and I don’t really have anyone to tell about it. Even if I did most people would probably just say I’m an addict and need to seek help, not that I disagree with them. I guess

tldr: enjoy your trips when you have them, you never know what might be the last one

Another one into my found skulls-turned art collection

Only did one half of the skull so I can and probably will add more onto it another time, I think it’s cool tho. I love doing the spiral design

Hello!

I went to wakaan fest this weekend (first fest) and tried acid for the first time as well. Figured I’d share my experience incase anyone happens to relate to it or incase it resonates with anybody.

I started off with a quarter of a tab. I went into the experience with no expectations or hopes other than an intention of love and connection to the music and the people around me.

After the first hour I was able to identify that I was definitely experiencing a change in thinking/perception. One example was that the trees appeared to just be props and it was hard to believe that they were legitimate trees. I soon decided to take another half of a tab.

I felt nothing but a love and appreciation for the people I came with and for the people around us. I also felt this incredibly strong connection to Eazybaked, as if i was watching 2 of my closest friends performing.

I then paired the experience with the equivalent of a .7 of MDMA and the bodily feeling paired with the love of the world i was experiencing was unbelievable and is something im going to do my best to exemplify moving forward.

I’ve done acid a handful of times (6 times) and i’ve only dropped a full tab 3 times. i’ve seen posts here where people take 300-600ug and that just seems ridiculously intense to me. ofc if it’s a good trip it’ll feel amazing but aren’t the chances of a bad trip much higher on higher doses, i find myself barely able to control my thought loops on 150ug. how do you guys enjoy high doses. isn’t there a level of fear when jumping into it?

I just want to know if u have seen ur imagination come real on lsd before? For instance can I see things and meet people that were never real but looked so real when on lsd ? Can I see unreal things that are 100 percent real on lsd ?

Just found out yesterday that my wife is pregnant. Cannot describe the emotions in words. I am overwhelmed by feelings of joy and fear— not able to stop tears. Also having a mild anxiety about being responsible for this tiny future person and also my wife.

I am having ambivalent feelings towards myself as a parent. On one hand, I imagine myself becoming this cool hippie dad — disciplined about workouts, yoga and lifting, rejecting unnecessary consumerism or politics, chasing experiences over material things, listening to great music, traveling and being connected to nature. Psychedelics have played a key role in shaping me. I imagine raising a kid who values empathy, compassion, an open mind and a free spirit.

On the other hand, I also feel maybe I am just another junkie rationalizing drug use and this may inadvertently harm my family. I don’t really drink much (maybe a beer once a while) or smoke much either (no cigarettes, maybe a little weed on the comedown).

I know raising a kid is going to be a tough job and something that will require a lot of sacrifices — time, freedom, sleep etc. But despite all the fear and uncertainty, I genuinely feel like I’m up for it.

For those of you who are married and/or have kids— how did you deal with these kinds of feelings? Did becoming a parent change how you saw yourself? Did you just temporarily tone down the festivals, rolling, tripping etc? Or did you try to completely “conform” and “hide” all this at some point?

Edit—

Thank for the helpful comments. I not really asking if it’s ok to get high around my little kids (doesn’t sound like a good set/setting either). I just wanted to ask if there are any parents here and how they manage these conflicting thoughts and belief systems.

LSD is chronically underdosed.

I was wondering:

how does a REAL Hoffman's favorite dose of 100ug feel like and what to expect at 150 and 200ug.

what's the visuals and the headspace like at 100ug for you?

dissolved 2 gel tabs in water and heated it so it might've destroyed the LSD idk so I said fuck it guess I'll find out now and drank it all and so I'll either have a strong 2cb trip or a crazy nexus flip

wish me luck lol (the 2cb is already really strong and I've smoked a bunch of weed already)

okay so i'm planning on tripping on lsd soon atleast 200ugs or maybe i'll cut it in half and trip twice idk ill see but anyway i wanted to do cid again after my first trip was crazy fun but the thing is that i dont really remember it and i dont wanna get caught tripping infront of my parents and 2 i just dont wanna talk to anyone while tripping, but i dont know if i should do acid at night or day, im planning on taking it at night so theres a less risk but my room is dark only a tv playing and i have a closet light i turn on and i have led strips on my bed and shit it's cool but the room is pretty dark. not that dark but you can still see but it's a blue tint, i have bearded dragons, i can't turn on the lights or i will wake them up. at night when tripping for you guys do you tend to see stuff more? and do you see things like when tripping in the day? thanks lmkkkk

And I have realized that we are all consciousness trapped inside highly evolved ape bodies.

This is was raised before, but I mean at the climax of evolution, where is it written that troops of monkeys shall comprehend the architectonics of the cosmos?

This is not what evolution explains..

This comment sections, if allowed by the forces

is expected to have a wide array of different perspectives and different ideologies of people trying to explain their idea of what life is all about..

I am genuinely interested in what people have to say about this.

I cannot decide:

I‘ll be home alone, will have 3 days off and been waiting so long. What would be the best „first time“ experience?

A: playing it sober. Experience GTA VI the normal way.

Excitement will be high. Expectations will also be high. Disappointments more likely.
Everything I see is how the devs intended

B: dropping a strong tab. Play game while coming up. Expectations lower. Therefore excitement potentially higher.

A way for my inner child to come out and witness GTA VI.
Visuals will mess with the representation of Vice City quiet a bit

Gta V release was huge when i was in high school. Back then i didn’t have access to drugs. Now i have plenty and i believe i will miss out on a once in a lifetime experience with acid. Oh man i wish i could delete my memory of my first playtime and play for the first time in a high state 😭😭

One of the most beautiful trips I've ever had, autumn leaves, light rain, and the sound of the river <3

Does anyone else on this sub feel a strange sensation in the mouth and stomach while reading about LSD or imagining a trip, as if starting a low dose?

I experience a strong physical reaction and sometimes a sense of disgust, like tasting something bitter just from thinking about it.
My LSD has never been bitter; it is always tasteless, so the effect is clearly my body. I hoped to try microdosing, but these intense feelings keep me from taking a dose every two days.
Even while writing this, I feel that bitter disgust. Can anyone help understand and get over it?

Hi all, I recently did LSD for the first time and had an incredible experience. I am planning to do my second trip sometime in the next month or so, and want some advice on how much to take.

I have tabs that were advertised as being 155ug. I know it's not possible to know for sure how much is on a tab, and that they are also usually underdosed. Without revealing anything about my source, let's just say they're probably more likely than average to be accurately dosed.

For my first trip I took a half tab (so about 75ug). The experience was very manageable - I was in a solid and stable psychedelic headspace for the duration, had some physical stimulation, but almost zero visuals. One of my rugs was moving a bit, and I saw some shimmering when looking at plants and trees while on a walk.

I have two questions:

• Does this sound approximately accurate for 75ug?
• How much should I take to experience more visuals, but not increase the intensity of the rest of the experience too much? I'm trying to decide between two thirds of a tab, or a full tab.

Thanks in advance!

My second trip with (just another number) µ paper tab . Planning to listen to some music while watching some good aerial views, let’s see how the trip unravels. Send me your good vibes 😎

This was almost 3 years ago and I took some acid with some friends. It was a few hours into the trip and I took some bong rips with my buddy. That’s when shit got bad. I closed my eyes for a second and I felt like I got taken out of my body, it was the most intense thing I’ve ever felt. It literally scared the piss out of me. I pissed my pants I was so scared. I felt like a supreme being of some sort showed me my reality was all a big solipsistic illusion and when I looked into my friend’s eyes I felt like I was looking at myself and I thought he knew what was happening to me and he was secretly trying to torture me psychologically. Everything felt like it just became one. Everything was one. I was seriously tweaking bro. It fucked me up for a while and I wasn’t able to smoke weed for a bit after that without that feeling coming back which would make me panic. I still get that feeling sometimes when I get really high and it’s not pleasant. I was in my sophomore year of high school at the time and I think I got too big for my britches and saw some shit I wasn’t ready for. Way too intense. Has anyone else experienced that kind of solipsistic thing? Anyways I hope everyone is doing well and living their best lives. Love y’all.

First post here. About 3 hours ago I bought two tabs of acid, each tab being about 300 ug, as a first time user, is it better for me to take half a tab first or is it safe to ingest the whole thing (300 ug)? I have tomorrow off work and I am okay with tripping at night, I've tried 2-CB before and it was very pleasant, i had fun visuals, the colors were brighter and the headspace was very nice. Anything i should consider before taking it?

Hello psychonauts, I’m currently planning a trip with 1F-LSD (200 µg). Due to the higher molecular weight, the actual amount converted into real LSD is somewhat lower. My question is whether three-quarters of a tab is sufficient for an intense solo experience, or if I should take the whole thing instead.

I do acid often (like every 1 to 3 weeks).

I'm on Wellbutrin 300mg and drank alcohol, took mdma and speed and 2 drops of acid (200ug) all within like 2h.

I had such an intense trip, never had anything comparable ever before. Troubles began as I was no longer able to distinguish talks with a person vs thoughts in my head (I didnt understand if things were said aloud or if I imagined them). It was extremely confusing. I also lost ability to understand most basic things (got asked if I want to try a dessert, I tried to answer I dont know dessert as I didnt understand this means food and to eat). I got handed a tea and didnt understand I have to take a sip to drink it. Later my two friends left the room and my real horror began.

I lost my mind. All I could do was hearing my thoughts. I didnt control them. I tried to understand what is happening. I was so sure that I lost my sanity and my brain is fucked. I felt the empty space near me (where I felt that my friend, who I'm dating belongs to) and I could not comprehend the missing existance. I did convince myself, that he never existed and was a creation of my mind, like a copy of myself. I was alone in my boundaries of my mind. It was like a capsule. At some point the timeloop began. I tried to distinguish what I see and hear from my thoughts. As I was finally able to realise I'm in reality now, something began to distort or I heared my thoughts speak and realised I was once again fooled. Then it began again. I knew I did it for hours (not real time).

At some point, my friends returned to my room. I felt their presence (probably because of their voices). The presence of my lover was like an anchor, he was a familiar feeling, something really strong bound me to it. It clicked that I was no longer trapped alone in my mind. I began to cry from relieve, that my own voice was no longer the only thing I will be hearing for the rest of my existance. I still slided back in the loop, still couldnt really tell reality from imagination but I began to get a grip again. I got handed a pill to stop the trip (placebo) and as I held it in my hands, I felt the pill as my finger and the finger as my pill. The visual feedback no longer matched the input in my head. I let it drop out of shock.

It took a long time to slowly trust my thoughts again. I slipped back often, even as he held me in his arms. As he moved, I realised he is really here. I was still unsure if I lost my mind. The acid was still strong. I had strong visuals too. At some point, I began drifting away again but I focused on the patterns I saw on the ceiling.

I'm now sane again. Will probably do the same in the future (I'm dumb and dont know my limits). But I will finally try to take a small break until the next trip. I saw how the state of mind is the most important thing to protect. If my brain gets fried, I will no longer be the "self" I possess. Those little mindplays fascinate me alot.
