I'm writing this up for advice on how to improve my trip next time if there is a next time, not that I didn't enjoy the trip, but the comdown for me was a bit nasty.

Anyway, I took 1 tab with 2 other friends at a party last wednesday at about 10 pm. I've only ever used weed, salvia and nos before so this was kind of a big thing for me. We hung around at the party for a bit waiting for the LSD to kick in. After what was probally about 40 mins none of us had felt anything and we where getting bored with waiting for the LSD to kick in so we started smoking weed. I smoked 1 joint and then, (the acid still hadn't kicked in) we decided we'd need to go get some food because we thought we'd be hungry later and where kinda hungry now.

So we left the party, us 3 and 1 other kid who was just stoned and set off for tescos. I don't really remember when the acid kicked in but I think it was around when we entered tescos. I spent about 10 pounds on shit loads of food and when I was paying for it I can remember I kept laughing and talking to myself. So much that my stoned friend left me because he was so embarassed. Me and all my other friends who where tripping had the idea that everyone in the store was watching us and that we where gunna get kicked out.

We then left tescos, we thought we got chased because my friend shouted about the dangers of alcohol at some people. We got out onto a long empty road and my friend lost his phone and he was tripping. It then started raining and somehow everyone maintained a good trip. Although we didn't start being mean to each other by accident or at least we thought we did.

We got back to the party to find the host had kicked everyone out and lots of people where outside the house. While we where waiting out here for a while a girl started spinning her umbrella around and it was absolutely amazing to look at it, it felt like you where moving into the umbrella whilst it span. We then went back to another friends house with two other people who wheren't on anything. When we got to the house we walked up the stairs and I looked up and the walls where like a big white cave, it was amazing. Upstairs there where cushions everywhere and we attempted to play monopoly whilst I rolled a spliff. I smoked some of the spliff in my bong (No bowl) and left the rest to the 2 other people who wheren't tripping. This is when it got really intense, I started seeing patterns everywhere and when I looked at my friends leg (A girl had got them to wax they're legs) they went all boney and white and shriveled up. After a while I went in the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My face morphed in all differant directions and at one point I must of physically opened my mouth and stuck my tounge out. That was a bad move as my tounge went crazy and big and started licking all over my face. That scared the shit out of me so I stayed away from mirrors for the rest of the night.

Everyone apart from those who where tripping started going to sleep and after a while I decided I should go home and go to sleep. I got a friend who was tripping to walk me home and we bought a bottle of milk off the milkman on the way home (It was about 6 am). When I got back I masterbated, had a spliff and then attempted to sleep. I was shocked that I could not actually sleep. The trip basically ended around here somewhere but I stayed up til 11 the next night when I finally was able to get to sleep.

I think this must of been some decent acid but then again I don't know because I've not really done drugs this intense before. I had a good time but I didn't like the comedown much, would dropping acid at like 12 in the day mean I'd be able to get to sleep at like 2-4 am the next day?

Yea, you should do acid as early as possible if you want to get to sleep. After the trip ends, it is very difficult to fall asleep for several hours afterwards. If you don't want to take any other substances, then you just need to get in bed and lay down until you fall asleep (very hard). Or you can smoke some pot, drink some alcohol, and maybe take a benadryl to knock your ass out.

I'd recommend against going to retail stores on acid. Buy all the supplies you need before hand. It's a scary experience being on acid and having sober people watch you, especially in a bright store where they will look at you and judge you and potentially call the cops. It will likely bring your trip into a paranoid state. It's also scary for other people.

Hehe I don't think we caused to much trouble. I couldn't stop laughing at the women at the till though and I was sweating so much anyone who looked at me must of known I was outta my head.

Okay, this is all personal preference but in my opinion you did several things wrong here.

First mistake was going to the party. It's pretty far from an ideal environment to be in during a come up. There are just too many distractions, and being around drunk people (I'm assuming people were drinking) can put you guys in a bit of a chaotic mood. Next time, I'd advise going somewhere where you're only around other people tripping. If you have any fields, forests, beaches, anything like that nearby -- try going there next time. I like spending the come up period meditating, listening to music, anything like that really. It'll put you in a positive mental state for what's about to come.

Likes fat_thighs said, always be prepared before the trip. I always think ahead as far as food goes because I really dislike going in most public places while tripping. Next time, buy a bunch of fruit, nuts, trail mix, that kind of stuff. It's good to have a lot of nutritious snacks to munch on because the trip can be pretty physically exhausting. Greasy food just never goes down well for me. Bring plenty of water, too, or any kind of juice. Energy drinks aren't a bad idea either.

Going back to the party, again in my opinion, was another mistake. Like I said, too many distractions. When you're alone you can focus all your mental energy on actually tripping rather than the people around you. If you were alone, it's highly likely you would have been noticing the effects a lot more.

As far as sleep goes, don't expect to be able to next time. This is why a lot of people like dosing up before noon, because from about midnight to 3 a.m. or so the effects will mostly be gone, and you'll be physically and mentally exhausted enough at that point to sleep. If you'd prefer night tripping, try taking a nap beforehand, because you will be up all night. In this case, try to have some benzos on hand or maybe a few beers. They'll calm your mind a bit and make it easier to sleep.

Thanks for the advice, next time I trip I think I'll do it with alot less people and in the day.

Find a significant other to share your trip with...there is no better connection than the connection of sharing a trip with someone you care about...Buy a box of oranges i know it sounds ridiculous but oranges are hella fucking good on lsd...Stores..parties anywhere with a lot of people or contact with people who are not going to see to kindly to your tripping which is usually apparent generally isn;t a good idea...Woods+Ipod+girl+oranges+weed=amazing night of fun love and tripping.


Happy tripping:D
