[LSD] Visual Colour/Shape Distortion help and advice?

[KingLordMaster]

NOTE : I DO NOT PROMOTE, ENCOURAGE OR EVEN ULTIMATELY AGREE WITH THE USE OF ACID/LSD. If you haven't taken acid and are still checking out this question, allow me to say this. The potential risk of acid changing the way you think, see and do things is very real. This could be in a very bad way, or in a very good one, with all variations in between. LSD might not be deadly or toxic, but its powerful stuff, I recommend the use of this drug only for the ones who, as they say these days, 'wish to expand the mind' and the general scope you have on things. Thank you for reading.

Hello everyone.

I would like to ask advice (I'm sure there are some amazing people here) on acid. Before I proceed with the details of my question, I would like to clarify a few things, maybe it would help you better answer my question.

I have taken 1 acid tab twice, seperate experiences (the real stuff), and have only done so recently (as you know, you must really prepare before you even think of taking it the first time, I sure as hell did, excuse the language).

The enlightement I got from it was really a lot to take in, although the trip really wasn't intense, in the sense that I did not experience any real colour, sound, smell and shape distortion around me. Now I know that some people like to sit down and watch trippy visuals on computer and tv screens, or even go to the cinema during an acid trip! I can imagine that this 'stimulates', and helps with the whole visual distortion stuff.

The thing is, I'm not into that. On acid, I like to do the following:
- Listen to music (usually heavy rock)
- Meditate and do some thinking about everything in general
- Go out and feel the world and space around me
- Sex. Women. My sexual appetite and confidence is MASSIVE when I'm under the effects of acid.

Now I'm sure that you can appreciate that this is good stuff, but does anyone have any tips on how to enhance the visual side of the trip which I'm supposed to experience? Other than trying other acid forms from different dealers. Is there any activity or mental process which could help me before and during the trip to really at least some slight distortion in colours, forget the shapes and stuff.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
- Alex

Take more and smoke cannabis, they really do go hand in hand. Other than that? Well, Irunno, I'm very much like yourself when it has come to my own acid experiences (I have 15ish under my belt, but only 3 of them were 250+ mkg), and I can really say that the more you take, the more pressure it puts on you, together with colours and visuals et c.

Other than that, what really instigated a whole new level of trip on LSD for me was Salvia. I don't mean together, but the good lady Salvia showed me some really nifty things about reality, which thereonafter have been included in my LSD trips. Nowadays, there's a full-on hallucinogenic fractal vision effect, no matter how low the dosage.

Other than that... Well, the good music. I recommend pretty picture-esque tunes for visuals, like 1983 (A mermaid I should turn to be...) by Hendrix, Shpongle, Zeppelin, Beatles, the Airplane and so on. Oh, and a nice tripcloth. Fractals are cool, especially once you get a hang on how to "manipulate" it yourself. It's fun, but that's basically where it ends, at fun.

Myself, I'm not in for the fun and pretty in the hallucinogens, but it's a nice experience. I'd truly like a Yellow Submarine trip someday (up on what, 1200+ mkg?) but right now I have my eyes on going back to large psilocybin doses (because, frankly, what you find in those trips ... well, there's nothing like it).

Thank you for the advice.

Am taking acid with 1 good friend of mine today. Will be taking 1+1/2 dosage in one go, with tabs (well, square pieces of cardboard paper to be honnest!) will smoke some pot maybe 4-5 hours after I've taken my dosage.

Will try the salvia thing. I've done it once from a bong or a crack pipe or something, I remember it lasting no more than 10 seconds, and I smoked an entire bowl in 1 hit or something.

Any extra advice on which salvia to take, which type (like where to get it from) and how to consume it properly?
Would be much appreciated. Thank you

PS: Still haven't done the yellow submarine on acid. I've only had 2 trips so far, and I'm eager to explore our universe, too impatient to watch anything on a screen. Will save that for sometime later though :wink: eheh

Well, what I was thinking of with the Submarine trip is more like such a dosage that things become Submarine-y, dig? Although, if there's ever any kind of visual media to enjoy while tripping, that's probably it.

With the salvia: I've tried numerous versions, although to be honest, it has always been so-so. Smoking extract didn't really work for me (I think I smoked too little, and the rest I had I gave away during a gathering where I was on 2 tabs of acid + some lsa, that was interesting!), and I did smoke leaves, too, which gave some mild nausea mostly and some hallucinations. What DID work, however, was leaves made into a small ball, then placed in your mouth (I had dried leaves which I bought off shayanashop, I think, which I had in water for a while, then picked out some 20 leaves and rolled them into a ... I forget the word, but basically, a ball). I let it lie in my mouth for some 25 minutes, not swallowing the saliva, then spitting it all out into a bowl next to me. Warning: the taste is horrible. Like ... really, really, really foul. What ensued was ... a mild trip (which was interrupted by my stepdad coming home, putting his key into the door to the house which at the current state was ME. it felt like he put the key in a hole in my body and twisted me all around to open up and let all the fresh air out, the lady with it).

If you're interested in Salvia, just google it and find some good guides. I'm sure there's lots of goodies on here, but also erowid and youtube (though, don't bother with the "i'm smoking a bowl of extract in front of a camera"--it's a whole wrong turn to the side of the wrong turn you can make when it comes to salvia. Even indigenous people have sitters next to the person taking salvia in the same way I recommend it, because, to paraphrase: some people wander off never to come back.)

On your acid trip: have you tried being in wild nature? Being on your own? It's good to have a sitter, but as McKenna put it, the ideal sitter is a friend who is three rooms away, and when you need him/her, you ring your Tibetan bell, he sticks he head in the door and says "It's cool, lay down." There's so many sympathetic emotional things going on with LSD (and other hallucinogens), which in all fairness is the bomb and worth to explore, but doing so with others can really take the focus off you. It all depends on what you're doing the trips for, I'd say.

Thank you for all the tips and all.

I haven't yet been under the influence of acid in absolute wild nature by myself, but I am looking to do so very soon. I understand the idea and reasons of having a sitter, but I really seem to be in control of things at the moment. I've always enjoyed solidarity, and personal/private journeys, wether I'm doing any drugs or not. Until I plan gearing up for a safe but a more intense trip, I won't be needing a sitter. But thanks again for the advice! Could use a woman though hahahaha :lol:

Myself, I never got the sexual aspect of acid (or other psychedelics). If I took a trip with my woman, maybe .. the time I did, though, absolutely not. it's like ... anti-sexual. So animalistic, that if there would be sexual energy, it'd be ... meaty? fleshy. porny. Irunno.

Nature is great, not just by yourself. If you've got some woods or such around you, where you can safely go for a longer (louder...) walk, then try it out with your friend.

Have a nice flight!
