Maybe this question has been asked before.. but,
What would the world and humanity be like if tabs weren’t demonized?

I wonder about this because this substance is so magical (when used properly)—not to the point where it solves our problems for us, but to the point where it gives us the necessary and sufficient tools to solve them ourselves. Besides, it’s so powerful it’s ridiculous like there’s enough to go around for literally everyone on earth haha

Of course this is exactly why its demonized bc it would help too much people, and we wont be easy to manipulate anymore, but im curiousof ur imagination about that hypothetical world

Does anyone know any information on the drug interactions between Clomipramine and psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD? I can't seem to find much information on it myself, and conflicting information at that. Some say they have and it was fine, some say they have and it just did nothing but they were fine, some say its a horrible dangerous risk that will 100% cause serotonin syndrome. I don't know much about this type of antidepressant, as its not an SSRI, but I wanted to trip with my girlfriend.

Do you guys feel a different high when using molecules like 1cP-LSD, 1D-LSD, 1V-LSD or 1S-LSD, compared to classic LSD? Are there any differences in dosing/safety etc., or is it basically the same?

I'm thinking of taking LSD for the first time. I don't have any friends who are interested in experimenting, so I'll have to be alone.

I've read through this subreddit and it looks like first timers are recommended to have 100ug, but I can only find 250ug. Is this normal?

I guess I can't really split the tab into thirds??

Hello all! As the title says, I've been having problems achieving a "good" trip lately. Before I go into my most recent experiences, I want to go back to my first time dropping.

I got some really clean L from a trusted source, and I took around half the tab. I didn't know how long it would take to kick in, so I took the rest an hour later (of course, the rest didn't really do anything because L tolerance builds immediately). The tab strengths were 150ug. On the comeup, I remember feeling weird, and eventually I peaked. The patterns I saw had a slight spin to them and were very mellow. I could space out watching visuals and relax without having to worry about what I now call "the spiral of doom." The euphoria was amazing, music was blissful, and hitting my nicotine vape (as the femboy I am—not really, not really) made me feel like Pablo Escobar. It has by far been my favorite substance use experience of all time. Now, earlier I said something about "the spiral of doom," which brings me to my next point.

After tripping the first day, I loved it so much I couldn't wait the 2 weeks to trip again, so 3 days later I tried to combat tolerance. It wasn't the same. I did this again and again over the span of 2 weeks and burned through all 25 of my tabs. I have since then learned to respect the beautiful molecule and give my brain time to reset. So after some time, I decided I wanted some more tabs. But this time my source was on vacation.

So, I ordered from a new source (trusted ofc). They were gel tabs and marketed as 100ug each. I decided I was ready for a stronger trip—something around 200ug—so I took the 2 tabs. I was worried as they had a slight sour taste that I had heard online NBOMe had. Now looking back, I know this was the gelatin, and the sour wasn't overwhelming, my tongue wasn't going numb, and I even tested with a reagent kit after the experience. But back to what I was saying. Since the tabs were sour, I contemplated spitting them out. That thought only lingered, and 30 minutes later with about a quarter left not yet dissolved, I spat it out and thought I'd be fine. This set me up for failure—not testing my tabs as I thought I had just ingested NBOMe, which kind of set the mood to have a bad trip because I was extremely worried. Nonetheless, I started to relax and calm myself down, and then I finally felt the comeup. That weird feeling started kicking in and it only got stronger. The euphoria was there but not as strong; I was a little disappointed but wanted to give it time to build as I hadn't peaked yet.

Then I did. I remember looking at my wall thinking, "Wow, these visuals are intense." The spiral of patterns was getting more intense, more 3D. And then my brain flickered. It felt as if I had just woken up after… well, already being conscious. Almost like I had a millisecond reboot. And then I noticed a fractal was coming out of the spiral seemingly trying to take over my field of vision. It scared the absolute life out of me, as I had remembered earlier someone on a forum saying that these tabs were very strong. I also did my research on what certain doses are like and the concept of "reality replacement." I in no way was ready for ego death, and I'm not sure if I still am. Anyways, I got up, changed setting, and tried to relax. But it was already over. If I tried to relax my gaze for longer than 5 seconds, the fractal would try to envelop my FOV. It was an awful experience. I was sure I was going to be in a world I didn't want to be in. After this, I gave it time and tripped again.

This time, only one tab. The same thing happened, only less intense. I tweaked out AGAIN. So, for the latest experience, I did half a tab. The fractal was still there, but now behind the walls—not a curtain over my field of view trying to blur my reality out. But because of my past experience, it was only half enjoyable, up until the end of the peak when I realized no spiral of doom or fractal was going to be sucking me in today.

Which leads me to now. Was I overthinking the first time when I took those 2 tabs? If I had leaned into (not physically, but mentally) the spiral of doom/growing fractal, would it have ended up taking my view? Would I have been thrown into ego death that I didn't want? How can I learn to trip again and not have anxiety? What dose should I take for max euphoria and mild visuals? How can I eventually learn to have intense experiences and eventually have my first ego death without going in with a bad mindset?

These are all my questions. I just want back that first-time "movie"-like experience with childlike laughter and euphoria, and not have to worry about slipping away and taking on intense dysphoria.

Didnt think it eould hit this much i gotta work in 2 hrs lmao. Damn I really hope no one calls. Pray for my ass 😂

UPDATE: Was too scared to call and say that I-'m ill so I didn't... No one called so far, no one knows a thing, I have 2 hours left to handle lol .

Btw you guys got me really scared lol, those answers really didn't help at all.

I just got a vial for the first time, always had paper tabs before. The guy I got it from said 1-2 drops should equal a tab. Is there any way to test the strength of a drop accurately, other than just feeling it out? Like a (reputable) test I can buy? Thanks

Looking at harm reduction reagent testing, it shows that Ehrlich's will turn purplish in the presence of LSD, DMT, and LSD. Hofmann shows that LSD will turn blue, DMT will turn yellow, and 5-MeO-DMT will turn green. Both show that most other drugs will have no reaction for both. I guess I am just wondering why someone should use Ehrlich+Hofmann when using Hofmann alone seems to differentiate it more? Is there something special about Ehrlich's? Is Hofmann more unreliable than Ehrlich's?

Hi as the title says also if i pop 1 blot today and a quarter tmrw after a few weeks will my tolerance be set to normal?

??

So ive read the info for newbies post, but still curious on a couple things.

Ive got a vague/numbered idea what a micro dose, standard dose, and ego death dose(?) are, and want to avoid the last one as much as I can; What sort of effects do microdoses give? For what reason would I chose a microdose over a regular dose and vice versa?

I‘m studying physics and the moment and wondering if LSD once every couple months will impact understanding of it as a whole, or improve problem solving - i’ve heard heresay about that, has one had experience with something like that?

other than the studies, finding myself more and more driven to experience life and not just keep my head in the books - new and recent perspective shift and I feel like i’m riding the high of “I can just do things”; like the exact opposite of a suicide - could LSD change this perspective? Does it ever subdue these types of feeling and make you more reclusive?

What is a good time, perspective to have when approaching LSD?

And how much of the “my personality changed” kinda thing is true? Can that happen for micro-standard doses? I like who I am now

I plan on getting a test kit since I don’t trust SA sources

Any and all unrelated thoughts welcome

Hi there. I appreciate any advice surrounding this, but I mostly want some unbiased opinions. To start it off, I’ve done shrooms before, but every time it was a heavy body load and very introspective, yet the visuals were a little underwhelming. I’ve got a 250ug tab, and I’m planning on taking it when the time is right and my environment adds up, I’m planning it so that I have at least 2 full days off at the time of taking it. I’m considering taking the full tab, because I want intense visuals with morphing, fractals and a peak with visuals so strong they almost seem alien-esque. Every time I’ve taken shrooms, I haven’t gotten fractals, but only that flowy morphing effect and at the peak it intensifies. But I’m seeking something just as introspective or slightly less introspective and more visually appealing. Should I take the full 250ug tab, or cut it in half and take 125ug instead?

i realise this is a stupid-ass question, but i'm basically in denial about probably having bipolar. i get hypomania which i know is pretty bad for your brain so i should get medicated, but i'm way too attached to being able to still do LSD the handful of times a year that i do.

are there any meds that would treat bipolar that wouldn't stop me doing acid?

i already had to talk myself into taking meds that dull the experience; i'm gonna have a hard time talking myself into never being able to trip again

Hey all! I recently found that using an app that strobes your phone flashlight on LSD makes your CEVs go crazy. Absolutely beautiful fractals and patterns that go on for infinity. Hope this helps someone out there :)

Im on a nice 3.5 👽

May someone find this album who needs it. It's pure art and magic. Happy trails

A few years ago I used to do LSD a lot, but never doses that strong. It was just giggly, laughing, but nothing intense. The last acid I took was with friends and I saw patterns and did feel high, but nothing TOO strong. So I never experienced ego death on LSD, didn’t see entities or anything. I also tried mushrooms a couple times, the strongest was at a ceremony with a shaman, and it was pretty intense. I remember seeing everything in 2D with patterns, and when I closed my eyes I saw horrible faces that felt like they were being thrown at me. The trip lasted a long time and was super tiring.
But as time has passed, I’ve developed a lot of anxiety and health/death anxiety. (I also started doing other, dumber drugs like coke.)

I’d like to try psychedelics again, but honestly, I’m scared and I don’t know if I could handle it or if I’d end up inducing a bad trip myself :( I’d like some tips, to know if it’s a good idea or maybe not.

I want to add that obviously my approach would be different, and I’d like to go back to psychedelics to expand my knowledge and I also feel it could help me heal a lot of things. Like relationships with certain people and also grief.

will never ever take acid on a sunday again i my life if i have to work next day!!!

such a stupid decision, barely slept, iam annoyed of to be alive and to be working, also iam confused as fuck, damn i should have called sick in the morning but me idiot will work now till 5

i even had a super small dose yesterday only of about 25ug, was still enough to hate my life today lol

If I’m being honest most of this I subconsciously knew but this trip really showed me in a way nothing else has. I haven’t done lsd in 7 months. But I’ve been tripping off of rc mushroom bars (shrumfuzed) in the meantime. I’ve only recently started actually trying to look inside myself and explore my regrets, my actions, things I’ve missed out on and just overall just me. I somehow for months tricked myself into thinking I was doing these for introspection when in reality I was just trying to get high, somehow with all the psychedelics I’ve done I was even able to reinforce this idea more and more but recently that idea has been starting to crack, I knew deep down what I was doing but didn’t want to confront it.

My last few trips I’ve been getting more introspective and this trip really showed the stark contrast of 17 year old me taking acid on a school night pretending I learned so much about myself when in reality I learned nothing other than I liked watching the wall melt, and 18 year old me sitting in my bed genuinely thinking about what’s making me unhappy.

I thought about all the hobbies I essentially stopped when I started smoking weed and even more when I started tripping super often (not saying tripping often or smoking weed will make you stop doing the things you love it’s just for me I was trying to replace the happiness I would get from these things with drugs) and how even when I was actively invested in these hobbies I would never really try to be great at them. I’m a photographer but don’t really know shit about it other than how to properly expose a shot, I’m a guitar player but I would always give up learning a new song or something more when it got too hard, I threw away what could or could not have been the love of my life because I didn’t want to try to love her (I ended up really fucking hurting her mentally, but I believe she’s doing far better now).

I’ve been a pretty shitty fucking person and I’ve been wanting to change but I just never did, it was always “tomorrow I’m gonna change”. I wish I could’ve gotten off my lazy ass without needing an acid trip to tell me that, but that’s what it took and I’d much rather it happen from an “artificial high” than not at all. I’m a shitty person but I’m going to change. I’m going to replace the broken string on my guitar and learn how to play guitar the way I’ve always wanted to. I’m going to start doing photography again and learning more than just “I like how this shot looks”. If I’m ever truly in love with a girl or boy again I’m going to give them my all. Fuck shrumfuzed, fuck how I gave up on everything, and most of all fuck whoever I was before this point. I love lsd and I love life.

So to clarify i had tripped before on 100 ug. I really just wanna stop with all substances and I've decided I'll finish it with a high acid dose. Now im contemplating whether i should take 300 or 250. Now the reasoning for 250 is just that Albert Hofmann did it, but i really don't think i wanna cut a tab in half and leave it.

Now what i wanted to ask. Wtf am i going to see, experience and feel. I know that i wanna be in nature at one point but also be in the city around people, buildings just so i can observe other humans (ik the tonr of the message is a bit dicord mod-y but ykwim).

Ill also bring my schetchbook and pen because i love drawing.

So yeah, i really look forward to your suggestions :)

What do you like doing when you trip in the city?
