gonna drop at like 8pm, how late should i expect to be awake? my friend (who is on it right now sitting next to me) says its pretty decent cid. this is my first time doing it too. you probably need more info but im an acid noob so any info is appreciated.
and yes ive looked on erowid and google. now im looking for HUMAN response and not comp response.

8-12 hours.

And if it's some DOx chemical instead (another psychedelic that can fit on blotter and is sometimes sold as LSD) then the trip may last a while longer than just 12 hours. All the shit I've gotten in the past has been LSD, though.

Make sure you schedule accordingly. LSD generally isn't that easy to fit into a schedule because it lasts too long. If it means waiting a week or more for a better opportunity to do it, it's often very worth it to wait.

I'd expect to be up for a minimum of 10 hrs from the come-up/initial effects (approx 1 hr after dosing)

Until sunrise unless you can commit to going to sleep, which is difficult on acid. You'll lay in your bed with your mind racing about a million different things, not wanting to sleep. Even after you stop tripping, your mind will be in the altered state until you fall asleep.

And when you do finally get to sleep, it will be a long sleep, because acid wears you the fuck out. Hope you don't have plans tomorrow.

will smoking bowls help put me to sleep? i have about a 1/4 left from this weekend.
i have work tomorrow at 1030 am but i just got hired at another place so if i wake up tomorrow, cool, if not, then oh well i have another job on thursday.

No, that's not really going to help. In fact. it might make it worse. I find when coming down off of LSD or mushrooms or something, I can smoke a bowl and I feel like I'm quasi-tripping again. It has a serious weed/stony flavor that dominates the experience, but part of my trip is sort of brought back by the weed. Maybe if you were taking xanax to fall asleep, but instead I'd recommend waiting. Last minute tripping always tends to be not as good.

Favorite things to do are hikes in a forest or something, bring a backpack with food/water/etc, and dosing and tripping in the middle of the forest. My best trips have been miles away from society. Solo or with friends, either way it tends to become something of a journey. Way more profound than just sitting around a buddies house and giggling at the TV because I'm on LSD and everything seems insane. Pristine places are really nice. I'd recommend having something fun to do on it. Like really make an evening of it, while leaving some things open enough that you can ditch whatever plans if you feel like it. It's not that LSD isn't interesting, it can just mean the difference between a mediocre trip and a fucking amazing trip. It's worth it putting in the extra effort to make sure it's really meaningful or whatever.

call in sick... going to work after an acid trip is purely fucking shitty... i dropped 1 hit at 9, had to be at work by 8:15 the next morning... imagine the feeling your body gets after not having a good nights rest, combined with the mental exhaustion that would come with being up a couple days straight... if you can get to sleep try it, hell at like 5am get drunk, you should sober up considerably by 10...

but god some weired shit will run through your head when your on acid all by yourself in a dark room.... you will have to fight yourself to sleep... benzos or alcohol will help getting to sleep...

it would be great to have a really short acting benzo like triazolam... ambien has the same 2 hour half life... 20mg of ambien coming down on acid would be strange...

if you take a good amount you should be tripping until sunrise. and i dunno about busted hymen but for me there is nothing better than bong rips after a good trip. like massive bong rips, liquor helps too, and take a shower when you first wake up.

It depends. If I'm nearly back to baseline then smoking weed is just like it always is. But if I'm still partially tripping it can sort of add some force to the trip and drag it out a little longer.

Honestly, though, I'd rather make plans for a day where you can fit it in more seamlessly. You'll probably have a much better time over all, which is kind of important, because there's a lot of variety within trips. They can be mind blowingly awesome and sometimes they're kind of a disappointment, and a lot of it depends on planning/ set and setting, though I understand a person's curiosity/eagerness

You're probably going to be up at least 8 hours, probably more, depending on how many tabs you eat. If at some point you really do need sleep and you're still tripping, you can probably pop a xanax or two, but expect to sleep for a while.

I dosed at Gathering of the Vibes a couple nights ago at 9 pm and didn't get to sleep until 10 the next morning.

how was the gathering?

how was the gathering?

Vibes was absolutely wonderful. If you get a chance next year you should definitely go.

I wanted to go to GotV but I couldn't afford it. Just like every other fest this summer =\

Oh well. Always the future to look forward to.

Anyway, I made this thread specifically for acid noobs:
