Lsd Trip Report: Bad Lsd Or Bad Setting?

[Wes Thoughts]

Summary: I took 6 hits of LSD over the course of 8 hours while drinking 6 beers and I did not experience that strong of a trip.

Details: So I picked up 30 hits of LSD. I split a half vial with my friend which was supposed to contain 50 hits but I think we were hooked up with some extra. Anyway, we didn't have blotter paper so we used an eyedropper to put the LSD on Sour Patch Strawberry candies. We added 2 small drops from the eyedropper to each which just about covered the whole top of the candy. We assumed this would be about 2 hits per candy. We still ended up with 60 candies total, with a bit left in the vial too. So we each took one drop from the vial on the back of our hand and licked it off to test the potency of the stuff. After about 10-20min I felt good with a slight visuals almost like more vivid sight with slight tracers. My friend and I waited about 1 hour to make sure this stuff wasn't going to kick our ass then we each did another 1 drop on the back of our hand and licked it off again. This time I noticed the same effects just a bit more. Vivid colors, very pleasant and relaxed feeling slight tracers, like everything was moving a bit slower, very pleasant though. We were drinking beer the whole time and was about 3 beers in at this point also. This feeling along with the beer gave me confidence that I could take more so we popped a double hit candy that we made thinking that would absolutely blow us away. I did have some very strong visual effects now. It was dark by this point and we were sitting outside drinking beers around this color changing LED orb that was the most amazing beautiful thing I have ever seen and it seemed to appear 3d and have geometric shapes within it. Nothing was out of control though. My friend also had an LED frisbee so we were throwing that around the yard a bit and I felt a little floaty and odd but was able to play frisbee just fine. I did notice lights flashing all around me as if they were coming from the sky like lightening or something. I went inside to use the bathroom and this is when I really felt the effects. The rooms on the way to the bathroom and the bathroom itself seemed to be breathing and changing size and angles of the toilet and sink were changing, slightly though nothing unbearable. After this probably because I was half buzzed on beer (about 6) I decided to pop another candy (2 drops) to see how crazy it could get. I didn't notice it getting progressively stronger from that last 2 hits. We decided to watch a movie at that time. We watched Underworld: Blood Wars which was epic (probably because of the LSD) and at about 3-4am my buddy was falling asleep so he went upstairs to go to sleep and I did the same on the couch. I noticed that the artwork on his walls was looking really 3d and holographic now but it was nothing insane and I just enjoyed it as I fell asleep. I awoke at 8am and felt totally fine. I had taken that last hit around 1am too.

I did not get the LSD with the intent of just taking it in social settings but I felt obliged to my old friend for getting it for me and I wanted to experiment with the strength of it. I do plan on using the rest of this for meditation and contemplation on my own but I am concerned with the strength of it and if it is even LSD.

Question: So I guess my question is shouldn't 6 hits of LSD have knocked me on my ass and made it an intensely strong trip? Was it because of the social setting and the alcohol that I didn't really find it that crazy? Is the LSD diluted too much? I used to take mushrooms back in the day (about 10 years ago) so I have experience tripping so this didn't scare me at all. I have had mushroom trips that have literally knocked me on my ass and turned me into a vegetable so I know what it's like to trip hard. Also, I didn't get the same ego death feeling or perspective shift that I have had from mushrooms. I have taken small amounts of mushrooms before and noticed a lot more of a distinct shift in perspective on the world.

What do you guys think? Bad LSD? Bad setting? Too much alcohol?

Your protocol is totally wrong if you want to do this for growth.

NEVER consume alcohol with psychedelics!

Liquid LSD? That sounds super-sketchy. That would DEFINITELY require a drug test kit. Liquid LSD of unknown concentration or quality is super dangerous.

Never do multiple doses throughout a trip.

You're treating this substance totally irresponsibly. You're lucky nothing bad happened. Doing what you were doing is how people get killed on these things, and why psychedelics are much demonized.

@Leo Gura Isn't LSD usually turned into liquid and then put on blotter paper to be taken? I don't intend on taking it in that situation again. I knew I wouldn't gain any growth from that setting but I was expecting perspective shift or some existence questioning that I could dial in on when I took it in a better setting. I mainly only experienced visuals which is disappointing if I plan on using it for growth. I think I am going to order a test kit before I take it again.

OK! Now you have done some crazy shit! And alcohol for growth? Nothing to do and this is how we learn.

If you are serious about finding truth you need to start the hard work! And yes! That includes a daily practice of meditation. Do that for a couple of months and the next time you planning on doing a trip, do it in silence and have at least an idea on how much and how strong it is. 

You have many many many years to live and experience and if you continue like this you will probably end up like a party boy with awesome insights  But as we all know, that will never lead to satisfaction.

@Outer This was the only option I had for it. I don't really have many drug hook ups. I haven't done drugs in years.
