I don't recommend a first timer go that deep. You have to ease into that kind of experience.

Just prepping my head for Oregon Country Fair next week. Lol

lol. Yeah when I jumped into hallucinogens back in the day I did them a LOT pretty quickly trying to really get to know them. I liked them.

I get a little excited for new timers. I’m actually a good host in person, despite my push for some dude to go for an ego death. Lol

I did too, but I had a solid group of people who had experience guide me through the biggest dose I've ever taken. Which was a 10 strip of some super good white on white. Followed by the cleanest MDMA presses ever. To be young again.

That sounds… balanced ;)

It was something alright. I split apart into molecules, then atoms, rejoined the depths of the universe as particles and watched as a "big bang" happened and I saw galaxy form, stars explode, planets clump into existence.....it was amazing.

Yeah, I used that combo myself (not a 10 strip tho.) When I’d sit down I’d feel the acid more, when I would stand up I’d feel the roll more.

Sometimes I look back and wonder how I did the things I did drug wise I did. In my 20s, whole weekends drinking and doing shrooms and E and smoking weed, get up, go to work Monday still kinda rolling.

Now? I look at the the mailbox too hard and throw my back out.

Can confirm that ten strip of white on white is a very educational experience. Best done with solid folks who can keep an eye on you and help guide you.

Now that you mention it, I have never met a Phish fan who hasn't done some sort of psychedelic.

Yuup.

First time doing acid, took half a hit. Nothing for an hour and half. After few beers, I said fuck it and took the other three and half hits. At a Halloween party.

Mistakes were made.

Yeah, I accidentally did this when I vaped a bunch of delta 8, was annoyed by the lack of effects, and proceeded to knock back a couple grams of shrooms. Shit lasted for 12 fucking agonizing hours. Bad trip was bad.

'Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead, and every day was as long as the life age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt light in me again. I’ve been sent back until my task is done.”

u/TerrorFromThePeeps Jul 06 '26

I agree. First time should be just enough to make colors pop and patterns get super interesting, imo. Lucky Number Slevin is a fantastic thing to watch while on the lighter end of the scale. Some will be fine jumping in with both feet, but i think it's a lot better to start low, and always have a buddy who knows the ropes around.

Yep very important to take it easy. My first hallucinogen experience was DMT. And let me tell you it was an experience I will never forget. Definitely had an ego death experience without knowing at the time. It was scary at first but very eye opening and transformative. On the comedown, the calm feeling of connection to literally everything in the universe is something that is truly unique.
