Default LSD for the first time

I was hanging out with my neighbor last night and I was telling her about how i want to try acid. She told me that she can get it for me. I have been looking for it for a while now and Im excited. Im supposed to get it later tonight.

My first question is what should I expect from the acid?

Second, is the myth that acids potency has gone down over the years true?

thanks in advance

If you have a questionable source you can expect to get ripped off, otherwise, whether you love it or hate it depends all on how you go about your trip.

Keep in mind acid, just like all psychedelics, is different for everyone. There's really nothing anyone can say to prepare you for it.

If you take a low dose, expect mild visual distortion. Objects warping slightly, light trails, and things like that.

High dose? Get ready for a mind fuck. There's no way to describe what will happen here because it's entirely dependent on the setting and your mindset. The kind of person you are and the life you have lived also play key roles. Just know that it's going to be a profoundly amazing experience. Visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, physical hallucinations, and mental hallucinations. With high doses you're going to be in for a helluva ride.

Second, is the myth that acids potency has gone down over the years true?

Yes and no. When LSD first hit the recreation scene, it was still legal to manufacture. This obviously meant that it was being largely produced, so the price, even with inflation, was much lower, if there was a price at all (it was often given out for free.)

The common blotter dose has declined a little, but this really only applies to 'street' acid. If you go to a concert or the festival scene, you can bet 3/4s of the time the acid you get will be high quality. Even better, if you can find liquid, prepare to be floored. It's always obtainable at a festival given you look hard
enough

If it's not highly diluted, you're in for a serious mind fuck. You should definitely take some pointers from that thread to assure you don't have a bad trip.

If you're in an uncomfortable setting or around an awkward crowd, or any crowd at all for that matter, there's a very good chance you're going to have a downward spiral. Do it in solitude, maybe with a good friend or two who are dosed up, and just enjoy the ride.

Do not try to control the trip. For the most part, it will control you, however sometimes you'll find yourself in the drivers seat. Once you learn how, you can manipulate your trip for the most part, but for a first timer don't expect to be able to do this.

Don't go into the trip nervous, scared, or anything like that. Meditate beforehand to clear your mind a little.

Going into a trip with anxiety is just asking for trouble.

Since it's liquid, there's a chance it's going to be very potent. I would suggest having some benzos on hand if you can get a hold of any, or at least a couple beers. Either will help calm you down a little should your trip start going in a negative direction. The former is preferred though, as it's a bit more effective, and tripping while slightly drunk can sometimes be unpleasant.

Have fun, and as always, trip safe.

Well, it has to be diluted somewhat. Otherwise it'd be crystal :p

And how do you know it's completely pure? Just taking her word for it?

If it's a pure drop of liquid it's going to be incredibly intense. Maybe too much so for your first time. But hey, it'll be a learning experience.

Dear diary,

Today I posted under my new user name on totse, and pretended it was my blog.

Seriously, just go to erowid and research what you are to expect. If you were to post your actual true experience after you took it, I may care to read, but seriously what is the point of these hypothetical "I might be getting ..." posts. Who the fuck cares. Your not me, your not my friend. If you were my friend you would be calling me on the phone making these statements and granting me access to said chemical.

learn to totse, acolyte.

Its impossible to explain but I will try to give you my description. Its like someone is going through your mind and unlocking an endless amount of doors and some lead to places that are fun and some will take you to different forms of reality that you do not want to go to. That probably doesn't make any sense to you but thats the best I can do. You get to see how powerful the mind really is and how in your sober state your just at the tip of the iceberg.

It can not be pure, LSD is very potent and the doses are millionths of a gram. It has been harder to find for years, since Pickard was sent to prison.

The numbers the DEA released regarding LSD production were a bit off. It's actually quite easy to find if you know where to look. There's plenty of it around still, but acid dealers aren't like weed or any other drug dealers. They're not just going to walk around saying they have it. A lot of places you kind of need to work your way into "the ring".

I hate how people try to tell other people there shit is so 100% pure. No way.. But most lsd i have taken. Has really been about the same for me. Maybe cuz i get it from the same hippie guy but no matter what kind it always seems about equal strength. Lsd is lsd. it isn't like any other drug. I dont like to refer to it as a drug. Cuz when i say drug what comes to mind is pain pills benzos even weed. But lsd is so so different than you will ever experience in your life. I believe one guy posted and said its like opening doors in your head some is fun some you dont wanna go to. That sounds very true. It makes since referring back to the recent trips i have had. When i trip i dont get super laughy and really fucked up. I get tripped out on it but.. i really try to understand the drug so much then. Sometimes this can be bad. Cuz you feel like there is so much to understand but to much to grasp. like we have all these philospical conversations on it. We try to right it down all the things that seem so real and important. But your hand can not right that fast. Best advice for a trip is to really try to grasp it. It well never fully happen but you start to understand more about life. Trips really seem like a learning experience man lol. I may sound crazy but hopefully someone kind of understands out there lol. Happy trip. Shit i may trip soon ill let yall know how it goes when i do... Advice Think.. lol CYA

its all about the people you know, you spent time looking for it to find out your neighbor could get it...

acid has declined since its dawn a bit, take a couple hits and wait a while...

acid will vary in quality quite a bit, but with most 1 hit will provide a pretty mild trip, 2 is a bit more intense... personally 2 seems easier on me than 1, with 1 you might get a sort of mental blue balling... but with 2 the effects will be shoved in front of you. with the acid i have taken for the last few trips (all from the same sheet) 1 would cause mild visuals and a change of mindset, 2 had me staring at my hand watching the skin sink through where the muscle seemed to have disappeared leaving bone covered in veins and skin and with what looked like shit crawling through my veins... kind of a fucked up thing to see but try to not let it bother you... i spent a couple hours wandering around outside by myself listening to Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and smoking cigarettes.... towards the tail end of the trip i turned on the lava lamp, curled up in my bed and just stared at the lava lamp while thinking about things...
