Always wanted to try it. Has anyone done Salvia? Standardized 10x extract was absolutely insane. Shrooms are an interesting window into an alternate world, Salvia is a door.

I like being able to tell myself that I'm fucked up, something I was not able to do during that 5 minute trip into hell that was salvia.

So, in light of that knowledge, I suggest staying away amongst the many other reasons. Not sure why exactly acid was like that for this guy considering the possibilities with all of his other vast experiences with drugs but it is what it is.

Acid addictive? Wow, that guy must've had one hell of a mind. I've used everything you can think of and more, but I found that acid was WAY too heavy to use more than like, a couple of times a year.

He used to tell me that he doesn't expect to live past 30 and genuinely meant it at the time. I believed him considering the amount of stuff he used. He has completely changed since then. He never does any of that stuff any more. One interesting part about him is that he was not a junkie by any means. He was a very smart, respectable, and responsible guy in every way with exception of his drug usage. I don't ever expect to meet someone like that again.

Very true. A real trip scares the hell out of me. I've always wanted to do it again the right way with a torch lighter, but I have yet to work up the sack.

That reminds me, DO NOT listen to Pink Floyd while tripping. Since PF is founded on acid and insanity, it is a very VERY bad mix. :evil::music::shocked:

I agree. Its too powerful for me to handle. I don't see ever being able to handle it. And that was with I think 5x or maybe 10x. Something very evil about that drug.

Shrooms for me was absolute hell and absolute beauty all in the same night.

I will disagree with you there lol; I have listened to DSoTM or Live @Pompeii every single time I have ever tripped.

Because it's not enjoyable in any sense of the word (IMO, of course)

You know what I really wanna do?

Drop acid and watch the Wizard of Oz.

Seriously, that would rule.

heh, that reminds me. I was studying real hard for calculus final in college. The last problem was a pretty big one taking the entire page. I worked on it for about 10 minutes and then the integrals and symbols started dancing with each other and swirling on the page.

Great, I'm having a flashback. Got up, turned my test in and went home to enjoy the trip.

Is it an experience? It's called a trip for a reason. Your mind goes somewhere else and your perception of everything is completely fubarred, senses blur and intermingle. And hoboy the hallucinations, not talking about "oh that color looks pretty" - I'm talking about full blown you see shit that doesn't exist but yet it looks real.

pretty much summed it up

Fun stuff.. if it was sold in stores I would make sure to do it once every 6 months or so. Really helps to clear the head.

I've done acid quite a few times and I've yet to have a bad experience. I wish I could tell you how to avoid it, but I really can't even imagine what it's like to have an unpleasant experience while on acid, everything is just so much fun. About the worst thing I've ever had happen was when I did it at a party full of internet strangers and I kept hearing voices from people around me and I had nearly convinced myself that they were talking about me, but even then I was in control enough to realize that they weren't.

I've tried salvia 3 times now and have yet to have a breakthrough. I wont try it again because it's really harsh and none of the reports I've heard/read from people who HAVE broken through have been particularly appealing. Plus it only lasts like 5min. to half an hour. Not worth the price of admission (it hurt my lungs and throat) imo.

I did mushrooms first, but that was because I didn't know any better. I'd say they are more powerful than acid and I would recommend a beginner start with acid. Besides, mushrooms can cause a lot of nausea and stomach discomfort. Acid doesn't have this problem, but a bowl or two will usually clear it up anyway. In fact, coming up on any hallucinogen will be weird and weed does a lot to smooth things out.

I think any experience you have makes you a different person. I mean, your personality now is simply the product of all the experiences you've had up until the present. Tripping for the first time is a pretty big experience of course. so.. in other words, yea.

If you have the chance and are not already mentally unstable/schizo, I'd say try any hallucinogen. They're great fun and you might even learn something about yourself.



Also, this is just me and you probably wont feel the same way but I think trip sitters are overrated. Like I said though, I've never felt out of control of a trip and in need of someone to tell me not to hurt myself or anything like that. In fact, I tend to get annoyed when I'm tripping and my friend (who's just trying to be a good friend, so I don't get too mad) says things like "You've taken a mind altering chemical, you're going to be OK, it's just temporary, it'll wear off in a few hours" I guess if you're not as well grounded as I am, it would be a good idea to keep these things in mind. He also suggests to even write them on your hand/arm and as a message to yourself if you find yourself starting to lose it. Another good idea, but not necessarily one that I ever needed to be told.



In conclusion: Do it, it's fun :D

While I've never tripped, I have been a babysitter for trippers.

On one night, had two people with experiences bizarre enough that it turned be off to trying it myself. One guy was chased, terrified, into the corner of the kitchen by a kitchen tile (black & white checkerboard tiles floor) that had flipped up and had become a shark's fin, swimming toward him. He'd found the hidden kitchen knife and unintentionally cut himself and one other person trying to defend himself from the shark. Another guy, after being MIA for about 10 minutes, I finally found in the garage sitting on the hood of the car there, talking to a whole, frozen fish from the freezer.

You only say this because you're experienced. I don't need sitters for low-dosage trips, but for real trips I still request a sitter. You just never really know when you've pushed the boundary too far until you're way past it.

Sounds like me.. Where you from?
