' It is true that both the woman and the male worker are condemned to silence by their exploitation. But under the current system, the worker's wife is also condemned to silence by her worker-husband. In other words, in addition to the class exploitation common to both of them, women must confront a particular set of relations that exist between them and men, relations of conflict and violence that use physical differences as their pretext.”' “The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppresed
Edit: Posting this was suggested by fellow comrade /u/ScreamoBMO the topic was how to reduce risk when consuming LSD (commonly known as acid). Please be aware that taking acid doesn't make you cool, posting does. If you struggle with substance addiction I recommend not reading further.
That doesn't help your friend, however as general advise I recommend doing acid after you are 27, do it in sessions which are at least 2 weeks separated from each other (without the effect of other drugs, so no THC, alcohol, coffeein (at best), speed, MDMA, shrooms, keta, coke, or so). Do have a friend with you who doesn't trip and you trust enough to trip.
In case you got LSD tabs (so small, thin less than fingernail sized tabs of paper with around 100 to 125 mikro per tabs - 100mikro for LSD25(*) and 125 for stuff like 1p-LSD) do take less than an eight of a tab, so not more than 12.5 mikrogramm (this is roughly! use a scissor to prepare your tabs before) for your first test. Stay at home, start early-ish (since the effect will last to 10-12 hours and some people are still energized after 12-14 hours, take it early enough before you want to go to sleep).
Acid is working in over long periods of times, however you will notice after a while like a few dozend minutes that you have a slight effect. The maximum effect will be the first peak (or hilltop as I call it now). from then you will have a slightly reduced effect till you find you are suddenly at a new hilltop (which isn't quite as high as the one before) and this goes on till you have traveled towards the outskirts of your journey. In that way it is like hiking: you start with the big hill you want to climb and then you move through a hilly side back to the grasslands.
If you start with that "low-ish" of a dosage you will get a slight feel for some (but not all!) effects of acid. You might be more relaxed, a bit more happy, the world might look less gray than it is usually the case, some people take it in as more colorful. You might feel a bit off, which is your brain telling you that unusual experiences are going on. That is normal and nothing to worry about, remember: after the trip which lasts at most half a day you will be fine and you are safe with a friend and an environment you know.
I strongly recommend to prepare a few fruits and an easy dinner to eat during your trip and have something to drink (water, tea, juice) ready. Also I recommend to have nice blankies and if you like the possibility to play relaxing music (and the option to turn it off it is too much). Furthermore having a few pens to draw can be nice. Cuddling might feel nice, however at the first trips I recommend not doing sexual stuff with your trip sitter (and some might never do, which is fine and some advise). You might feel more horny than usual, you might feel more active and energetic, might talk more to your trip-sitter and draw some connections you typically don't. You might be introspective, but at that dosage it should be hand-able. I don't think acid is for everyone (and if you are on some medication like MAO-blockers or antidepressants or such it might actually not have very much, or different, or no effect except stress for your body).
After such a trip wait at least the 2 weeks so that you don't have tolerance buildup and if you like you can increase the dosage to a bit below a quarter of a tab (so less than 25 mikro). This will be a vastly more intense trip with new effects. However since you learned how to experience acid you can see which elements are new and which you already know. You will also be able to handle feelings better. E.g. letting go of emotion and having the trip sitter with you. Typically and with time most people I know will go to something like an 1/8s of a tab plus a bit so you are around 20 mikro.
The next trips would be either the same-ish (or lower) dosage as before and changing the setting e.g. walking in summer through a forrest that is easy to reach (when you feel comfortable with that and can easily reach a safe place from there - remember not to drive your car for 1-3 days after tripping). Alternatively slightly increase the dosage by not more than a bit over an 1/8s to 1/4 max per time and stay in rooms you know and feel safe in. If you increase the dosage or have dosages that are above 45 mikros or so I recommend to not go to clubs, festivals and alike unless you have some experience.
The effect of acid varies strongly influenced by set, setting, dosage (and skill). The arbitrary levels of sub-microdosing (nearly no experienced effect), microdosing (small effects), "meso"dosing (20+ mikro), the fluid-fun zone (anything between meso and intense), intense trip (50+ mikro), deep trip (70+ mikro), very deep (and only recommended rarely after reducing tolerance and after several month gaps in between, more than 70).
I personally don't recommend at all anything that is a whole tab, or more (100/125 mikro+).
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor or lawyer and the effects vary by person, as such even the categories will be different to some, I would advise to go step by step, though
Within the fluid-fun zone to intense trips, you will very clearly feel much more influence of the atmosphere of where you are onto yourself. This means loud places and streets are bad, but comfy places might be nice (and relaxing music can be nice, but also too intense). Clubs and festivals might be mega intense and depending on yourself you might be comfy with a few trusted friends cuddling and dancing, but also have moments of just cuddling in under and with blankies for an hour or so. When you go into the intense trip dosage it could be that you reflect on yourself and your past and how social relations and feelings built up your personality and such. Remember you will have no otherworldly view of the world, but have experiences cause by yourself and your conscious. You might feel more connected to the world and others. You might also want to redose often and take more, this I don't recommend. If you did trip a couple of times, some people do take a bit of THC which for some kick offs a different kind of trip, that is intense. I have varying emotions about it and would advise to test it on a smaller dosage of both than what you typically know.
Acid dosage doesn't give linear effects. Double the dosage and you won't have only double the effects, but much more in quantity and different ones in quality.
Q: When I do it as you advise wouldn't that mean I am busy over multiple summers with LSD?
A: Yes. This might happen. However it is more secure and you might be able to enjoy the effects much more than when you take a whole tab and don't quite know what to expect. From the people I spoke with and who tripped and those who tripped with me it seems that step by step reduces bad experiences and increases the resilience of the people testing. If you find out early on it isn't for you long term negative effects are more rare and as such people can enjoy it more if it helps them. There were also studies (or at least 1) that showed that people who had slight increases in dosages would be more comfortable with their LSD experiences. As such I advise the at least 2 weeks gap between trips (and that is also to reduce tolerance effects) and have a handful of steps to reach a trip of 50+/70 mikros (which many people in the past started out directly with).
Q: How should I store the excess LSD when it takes so long to consume even three tabs?
A: I advise to not store material that is criminal in your country at home. However this is an example in which the society and its repressive laws do increase problems. It would be best to have known tabs of a known source and have them stored well and tested (this is the first tab you want to use, send it to a lab). Acid stored on a paper tab can be stored by wrapping it up in aluminum foil and putting that into a plastic bag so that no water will get to the tab. It ought to be stored at a cool (at least below 20°, but not freezing(?)) , dry and dark(!) place. Some people bury it in the outsides (watch fingerprints, also be aware many police jurisdictions don't need a warrant to dig stuff up or catch you during the act, but would need one for your home).
(*): Please consider that some tabs that are bought don't just contain LSD25, but sometimes are laced with an unwanted drug to deliver a fast kick. This is not ideal as the interactions and reactions are more different than from one substance. If there is a possibility to drug check , do send a drug check station of your country one of your tabs so it can be tested.
After I had a terrible experience on my second round of LSD, I established these rules. With them, I have had numerous experiences with acid and other psychs and have yet to have another challenging trip.
Start your trip early on a weekend or another day where you have no responsibilities. Enable do-not-disturb or just turn off your phone so you won't get wired off of a weird text or something. I usually start at 7-8 AM as long as it's light out. Trips can last as long or longer than 12 hours so I like to have a few hours of sobriety before going to bed. Starting early will also help you fall asleep much easier. You do not want to attempt falling asleep while you are still wired, you (a) won't be able to unless you have xanax (more on this below) and (b) it'll just really annoy you esp. if something's on your mind.
Trip outside (at a park or on a hike/trail nearby). Obviously more useful for those of us that live away from urban areas, but I can't stress the "outside" bit enough (slight detour - there is nothing better than putting your bare feet into a river/creek while tripping. Incredible experience). More often than not I've found that staying indoors for a long period of time leads to increased paranoia ("the walls are closing in"). Whereas being outside, you are surrounded by nature, being warmed by the sun, etc. It's great. This is a reason why the vast majority of my trips take place in between April and September and I typically only follow through on the plan if the weather is nice. The last time I tripped indoors my trip buddy and I looked at each other at about 1.5 hours in when everything was getting going and we immediately decided to bolt outside. Way easier to breathe imo.
Music has a bigger impact on the mood/mind than almost anything else while on LSD. I strongly recommend to build a 8-12 hour trip playlist full of either music you like, improvisational music like the Grateful Dead (these guys literally spent their 30 year career playing acid-based music), anything that's relaxing. Typically, your death metal, punk, angry type music will make you have a bad time! The most important thing is to create your trip in a way that it actually helps you keep the good vibes going.
Trip with people you trust. Ideally, I don't think it's a great idea to do LSD on your own. I usually do it with my two closest friends - friends who wouldn't judge me or embarrass me if I did or said something stupid during the trip. Above all else, you should only trip with people who you'd be comfortable telling really personal stories to. Trip sitters are a great idea, but they aren't completely necessary - especially if you're tripping with people that already have experience. But if you think you'll want to go somewhere (do not drive on acid), it's nice to have someone who can shuttle you around if you want to change your environment.
Speaking of changing your environment - this is the number 1 solution to mid-trip bad vibes. If you aren't enjoying it, go somewhere else. A new environment/surround will usually clear things up.
Wait at least two hours before adding to your dose. Remember that you can always take more but you can never take less. Know exactly when you dropped so you know when it actually effects you. I can't tell you how many times I've heard horror stories of people re-dosing after 45 minutes because they don't feel anything and then they have to deal with the consequences of taking a heroic dose. My advice as someone who has tripped a bunch: you never really need more than 1 or 2 tabs if the acid is legit. The redditlordegodeathists will talk about how amazing their miraculous trips were, but getting there is mentally, physically and emotionally taxing. You can get all the benefits from LSD with a moderate dose.
Have an exit strategy (optional). Lots of people don't know that xanax/benzos can basically end a trip. It's never come to this for me/my friends, but if someone's having a really bad time these can and will pull you right out. A corollary to this is to BE CAREFUL FUCKING WITH WEED ON LSD. Lots of people (regular smokers) think a joint/bong rip is a great idea from the comedown. BE WARNED: it basically reinvigorates the trip and your visuals. Personally, mixing weed with LSD has only led to crazy amounts of paranoia. It wires the hell out of me and I'm a daily smoker. Be very very very careful.
Anyways that's it. I've got 20+ trips in my back pocket on LSD proper, 1P, and ALAD. If you have any questions I'm all ears. Please do drugs responsibly and if you follow these rules you will never have a bad trip.
