Acid

[u/Acidic_culture]

Even with all my experience with this beautiful molecule, lucy surprises me every single time. I love tripping & have good amount and variety of trips under my belt & here are some pro tips that would help someone approaching LSD.

1. Respect it, always take psychedelics with gratitude & a positive set & setting. i.e, you have to make it easy for you to let go of your everyday self.

2. Company matters if you're new to the substance, after a while popping it at festivals or just day tripping in meausum or beautiful hills like these will come along.

3. Always have tripkillers, research a little you'll definitely find a otc pill which works effectively.

4. Dedicate a full day to the experience, all 24hrs from the moment you pop. (That includes sleep) i.e. no other responsibility/nowhere to be.

5. Acid isn't going to make you smarter or enlightened. It'll only amplify what's already there.

6. LSD is very stimulating, dance it offf. Dance is active meditation & it really helps neurodivergent people like me to pull breakes on my brain, specially on 200+ bpm.

7. Drink a lot of water & electrolytes, don't ignore this it really counts in a good trip.

8. Stoners trade carefully, weed amplifies acid too much especially when you're tripping outside a closed space. But you'll definitely enjoy weed once you get a hang of it. People who don't smoke weed regularly please leave it alone or be carefull enough.

9.Smokers will have a huge urge to smoke non-stop during the trip, but please be mindfull of your smoking.

1. Follow a little meditative practice for a week before tripping if possible, meditating on peak is an experience you'll enjoy but will need a little practice for.

Some really pro trips for all,

1. 75-150mg pregabalin does wonders in terms of comeup & the experience of the trip, given you have no tolerance.

2. Try listening to the whole Voyage 34 Album by porcupine tree while peaking on acid if you haven't already, you probably won't understand the lyrics all well but it's really necessary you do that if you have a couple of good introspective trips under your belt.

3. You don't need anymore than 200mcg to get all there is in acid trip, there is nothing you're going to achieve by upping this dose. If you really want to do 300mcg but that's it.

4. Be mindfull of tolerance. A min. of 2 weeks & average atleast a months gap between your trips is ideal, otherwise you're wrecking your tolerance.

5. Be mindfull of sourcing, avoid sourcing on streets & if you do ask questions. What? How? Everything, if it feels fishy walkaway. 99/100 times it would be just a dud or underdosed tab but you don't want to trip on 300mcg or any other rc unknowingly.

6. There's no such thing as a bad trip. Just like tripping, It's all in your head.

7. Best time to trip outside in nature: pop before sunrise, eat by 4 PM, kill trip & sleep.

Best time to trip at home or indoors: pop before sunset, eat breakfast, kill trip & sleep.

Best of all, old school tripping on the mountains with buddies & laughing till your cheaks hurt actually works wonders for people going through a tough phase or life.

I had a beautiful experience on lsd yesterday on these beautiful mountains above, trip report soon.

Bro Anesthetize by porcupine tree is <3 while tripping

Well written though I disagree with some aspects. Pregabalin is not needed for the trip. It’s abusing the substance.

Any psychedelic should be considered with 24hrs in mind because the shifts happening take time.

Not just meditation, but a cleanse before the trip is really beneficial.

Doing it in a natural environment heightens the experience. Music is subjective but high bpm can feel good. I personally listen to psy but one thing to consider is to avoid lyrics during the peak instead flow with melodies and sounds. Your brain isn’t processing things in a linear way and words or language can get in the way.

Thanks for sharing these points. I’m retagging the post as a guide.

75-150mg is therapeutic dose for pregabalin so I wouldn't call it abusing but just making it easy for yourself, especially for neurodivergent people as we're gifted with mild anxiety all the time & if comeup is smooth and your body surrenders during comeup, the whole trip is enjoyable. If this is abuse candy flipping shouldn't be a thing is how I see it. Edit: though it's definitely unnecessary for the trip it's just a little add on.

Lyrics yes, making sense of lyrics on peak is little disturbing but your body has a sense/memory of words just like musle memory & body guides the visuals without brain having to make out the meaning of lyrics, I hope I'm making sense.

I had a beautiful experience listening to voyage 34 & I still recommend listening to the full album while peaking it's an hour long so it can really be difficult but I am all for it. I love psy, I listen to 150bpm & lower during starting point of the trip & listen to psycore or forest 200-250bpm after 6-7 hours into the trip.

Agree 100% on cleansing part.

Think about it this way - using a gabapentinoid to regulate your nervous system when the lsd is actually using it to channel the energetic surge you are going to experience is actually limiting. Not really the right way imo

In the traditional shamanic approach, the build up or challenge/discomfort is part of the experience. Smoothening everything with other supplements isn’t the right way. That’s my opinion, so hence I call it abuse/disrespect for the lsd.

Cleansing is such a powerful ritual that when done right, the experience happens smoother because the challenging work is done before.

What you are talking about the body and energetic memory is kind of misconstrued. I teach about the mind-body-energy balance and language is a mental process. It’s a deductive process that is handled by the mind and that’s why in traditional ceremonies we avoid trying to make sense of words during the early process. Feelings, intentions are what the body and energy store and these are not done in the form or words but rather emotions and sensations. I can take you into much greater depth on how these bodies interact, if you’re interested.

I glad you had a great experience listening to Votage 34, I have heard it and have several such tracks which I gravitate towards. Psy for me came as a guiding force through a Babaji I revere. Though there are many factors in the music that are influencing the experience. I can tell you this because of the experimentations I have done with and without digital music across trips.

Probably most of what I said is anecdotal/personal but let's just agree to disagree, I think making yourself comfortable enough is necessary.

I am very much interested in learning about how these bodies function & interact with each other. Thanks for taking the time & setting things right.

Boom shankar 🔱

You mentioned cleansing before a trip. Steps to the same ?

[u/Beyoume → u/infidel108]

Physically - eat fruits for a couple days before. Less oily foods and fast some,

Mentally - cleaner thoughts and mindful practices

Energetically - meditating and simple kriya practices

Loved this bro! ❤️

Edit: Expect urinary retention with pregabalin combo but nothing good hydration and electrolytes won't fix.
