First LSD Trip: Familiarity, Control, & Self-Discovery

okay Okay, so I'm going to be talking about my first LSD experience. So, I did this a few days ago. It was my first time doing LSD. I have a lot of experience with shrooms, but it was my first time doing acid. So, for this first time, I was at work. I got out of work. And then, when I got out of work, I took one type of acid on my way home. And so, I dropped at 11.20, and then I got home around 12.30. And when I was getting home, I was definitely feeling it. I didn't feel scared. I didn't feel anxious. It was pretty pleasant to me, I'd say. So, yeah, I get home. I go and take a shower. And then, while I'm showering, I see that a lot of things are moving. I see a lot of patterns. I see a lot of different things. I feel different. I get a body tattoo. And then, I finish my shower. I brush my teeth. I get dressed. I go to my room. I get dressed. And then, I start feeling a lot of things. So, because I had a lot of experience with shrooms before, I kind of was trying to associate it with what a shroom trip feels like, right? So, I didn't feel scared. And the times that I felt a little bit scared, I knew what to, because I had a lot of information, and I had a lot of— I read a lot about acid before doing it. So, I knew what was going to happen, how long I was going to be high for. So, I didn't worry as much. But the times that I did, I knew how to calm myself down, because, like I said, I read a lot about those things, and I knew what was going to happen, right? So, on my peak, during my trip, I noticed that acid is going to be something completely different for me, because unlike shrooms, acid felt like family to me. It felt so familiar, and it felt more pleasant, and I felt like I had more control of myself than what I do in shrooms. So, yeah, acid is going to be something completely different for me, and I can't wait to experience and trip more on acid. And see what it's like. Something that I also noticed during my peak is that it teach me how to breathe. It teach me how to calm myself down. So, it kind of teach me how to breathe, how to take a deep breath, and then let it all out whenever I'm stressed. And the music didn't feel as pleasant. As it does on shrooms. But I think that was my fault, because I was kind of getting a little worried. I wasn't focusing that much on the music, but I noticed that music is something that actually goes with acid. It's something that actually goes together. So, it's something that I have to experience more, and then I have to see how it goes on my next trips. But music, it'll be something more interesting. Because with shrooms, I usually get high at concerts, so I only experience music with shrooms before. And in general, it elevates the whole experience. But with acid, I feel like it'll be more pleasant. So, the reason why I didn't enjoy it as much is because my environment and my setting at that moment. But I feel like if I go to a festival, to a concert with acid, it'll be very, very pleasant. Saying all this, I was trying to get some sleep because I was tired, and I didn't go to sleep until, like, I think 7 a.m., and I wasn't able to rest at all. And I would say that I was high for about 10 hours, 11 hours, and then when I woke up, I was still high a little bit, but I was fine. I was obviously restless. But in general, it was a good experience. It's something that has a lot of potential. It's something that I have to experiment more with, and it's something that I can't wait to have more experience with because acid feels so familiar to me. So, acid is to look outside, to look at the world, to look at the people. Then shrooms are to look within you. So everything that's going on with you, you should do shrooms and then figure it out, right? But acid is full. I feel like I have more control over myself and, like, I was more conscious. So that made the whole experience more pleasant. So that's it.

Describes a first-time LSD experience taken shortly after work, comparing the familiarity and sense of control during an acid trip to the introspective nature of psilocybin. The user notes that LSD feels more outwardly focused and manageable, highlighting how preparation and prior knowledge helped them navigate the experience effectively.

Also, now that I remember, just like that last trip that I had with shRooms, I think it was my, I think it was the one in September 3rd, but I was gonna say that just like that one trip, this time when I was tripping, when I was listening to music, I felt this almost the exact same way that I felt that day. I felt like I was really close to figuring out one of my traumas, or something like felt like really familiar, and I felt like I was trying to figure something out, and it seems like it happens every time that I listen to music. It's like a song, or like a thought, that I've been trying to figure out, but this time when I did, it happened the exact same way, like I was listening to music, and then it's like something trying to come for me, to, it's like, they're trying to show me something else, they're trying to help me figure out something. The thing is, I haven't been able to, but there's something really familiar about it, that I haven't figured out yet, but probably next time that I do it, I'll, I'll put my thought into it, because it's been fucking me up a little bit, because I haven't been able to, to really put my finger into it, it's like a thought, it's like a sound, it happens every time that I listen to music, and it's something, it's something that feels like it's so familiar, something that feels like from my past, when I was like a child, and somehow it was also, I feel like it was also related to my mom, so it might be something to with my mom, it might be something to with something that I realized when I was a child, I don't know yet, but on my next, whenever I trip again, I'm gonna try to figure it out, and that'll be my mindset, that I'm trying to figure out what was the thing that the psycho's are trying to show me, or are trying to help me figure it out, cause it's been twice now, first time on fruitless, and then second time now on acid, so yeah.

It's truly profound how these altered states can illuminate recurring patterns, particularly when a catalyst like music brings a familiar feeling to the surface. Your intention to deeply explore this connection to your childhood trauma, possibly related to your mother, during future journeys is a powerful step towards self-understanding and healing. These echoes from the past often carry keys to present freedom.
