The lsd dilema

15 Comments

My long-distance boyfriend and I semi-regularly smoke marijuana together.
We were planning on trying LSD together for the first time a month ago. When it got to the planned weekend he couldn't get hold of any, so we decided to wait until the summer break (about 4 weeks from now)
His friend is travelling up to see him and has some LSD that he wants to take with him, and I'm upset by this because it was going to be something special we were going to try together.
Should I tell him how I feel?

(optional background information):

He and I have been together since boxing day 2014, and knew each other for 2 and a half years previously, but he and I were never single simultaneously until we got together.
We're very close, and I want to tell him how I feel and not let it bottle up or wait until it's too late, but I also don't want to control what he does with his friends, and if I said I had a problem with it he probably wouldn't do it. I've never taken 'strong' drugs before, and when I do I don't want to feel uncomfortable about something like this, especially as it's a hallucinogenic.
Without turning this into a debate about people doing recreational drugs (upon which my mind is already made up), what do you think I should do?

Talk to him 14
Don't talk to him 2
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Don't EVER trip with someone if you aren't 100% comfortable with them, seriously, don't do it. That's just asking for a bad experience. Btw, if it's bitter spit that shit out, real lsd has no taste, the fake shit is bitter, you can take it and be fine, but it's not an awesome trip.

      Hey, thanks for the actual advice instead of an anti-drugs speech :D
      I'll keep a note of that :)

    Acid isn't one of those 'bring you closer together' drugs. Try some MDMA or something better. Acid is more of a 'gotta try it at least once' kind of thing. And yeah u wanna make sure ur with someone you trust with your life. Don't take serious hallucinogens lightly. They're no joke. If you are in the wrong state of mind or in an uncomfortable place, you'll have a terrifying trip probably. And becoming "perma-fried" is a lot more common than we are lead to believe. I've seen it. The first night I was in rehab they brought this woman in who had had just a single hit of micro dot. She was absolutely OUT of her mind. Screaming, thrashing, totally crazy. She had no idea where she was, who anyone was, she was in her own little horror world. Even tying her down to the bed and a huge dose of Thorazine wouldn't do it. They eventually decided they couldn't help her after 3 days of her being absolutely exorcist shit. They transferred her to a mental hospital for evaluation. And it's my understanding that she is STILL there, 6 years later, STILL THE SAME. Yes acid is a single drop of liquid. But a single drop and turn the bucket in some people.

      Okay, after scaring the shit out of me...I'm still gonna take it with him. I do trust him with my life. Sounds corny, but honestly, I think this is the right decision (plus we'll be at home all chilled out and my dad will be in the house and he can help if things go wrong, and I live 2 mins away from a hospital, so I think this is a fairly good setup :) )
      thanks for the advice :D

    Couldn't reply up there... Good on ya. Ive just seen some really bad things happen with people doing things to themselves and others on hallucinogenic stuff. LSD and DMT specifically. LSD is kind of a Russian roulette if you've never done it. Acid; It effects different people differently. Depending on how your brain chemistry is specifically set up, it can have vastly different psychoactive results. It's why some people go into la la Mario/Tetris land and see sound and purple toads the size of couches, while others strip their clothes off and run into the neighbors house at 3am, and yet others just sit and stare at the sky or wall and are in their own little worlds.

    We tripped :) It was amazing. We recorded 5 of the 13 hours we were tripping and saw amazing, beautiful things. There were difficult parts that we got each other through and had a generally amazing experience. I don't know if it's just through the power of suggestion, but I'm feeling calmer about life in general now :3

    It's probably better for your own psyche that you told him but don't be fooled; he probably tripped anyway. And honestly, it's okay.
    I recall getting so pissed off at my now-ex because he dropped some acid knowing I was unable to (we found out I was pregnant a couple days before). But, I was only (raging) mad because I couldn't be on his level. It was totally selfish and I knew it. I was still pissed though, damn it!
    In the end, I had to suck it up and deal with it or make myself miserable. Your bf isn't doing anything wrong to you or your relationship by baking with his friend that he probably doesn't chill with as often as he would like. Whether he did or not, don't let it ruin your good time.

    Now, actually doing the Acid: It is imperative that you have these 3 things:
    1) A place to actually bake. Safe, comfortable, with a yard. Honestly, Don't waste your trip indoors. This world is an AMAZING place! And so is your backyard, the asphalt, the peeling paint, the sky! Oh my! Look at that sky!
    2) Full trust in your baking partner. Essential.
    3) Good product. No clue how you would know this. My trusty baking partner handled it.

    I haven't baked in a looooong time but back in the days of my youth, I dropped quite a bit of acid. And loved it.
    It's all in your mindset. Positive vibes. Intuition. Common-fucking-sense. If the vibe is wrong, change the scenery. And keep the damn TV off! Unless you have the quintessential acid trip and watch "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ".

      Wow, you don't seem to have much faith in people :(
      He didn't 'trip anyway', the friend he was gonna do it with hasn't even been to see him yet :P
      He's a trustworthy guy, don't assume things about him :/ I talked to him and he's decided to come see me in a few days to try it instead of trying it with his friend
      And there is definitely something wrong by doing things that you know makes your partner uncomfortable, that's disrespectful, and not part of a good relationship.
      I don't have trust issues with him, we're open with eachother, and we tell eachother when we're uncomfortable with something and explain it from one another's point of view and decide what the right thing to do is like mature people.
      As for the acid, we're doing it at my house, in my bed, warm and comfy, my dad will be around in case something goes wrong, I live 2 minutes away from a hospital, and my walls are covered in psychedelic paintings :3 (plus we'll have eachother ;) )
      I trust him with everything about me, and he does likewise with me and I am sure of this. I feel like I could trust him with my life.
      My dealer doesn't usually sell acid, but I do trust him to get a good product (and he's always honest with me about the quality of the weed he gets me, and he said this stuff was good, so I guess it should be good :D )
      Aaand, as for tv shows, my bf and I are hoping to watch a lecture on quantum physics to freak us out with our own universal insignificance XD
      Thanks for the advice :3

    Talk to him , he will understand and choose to try the LSD with you :D You two can get excited again and enjoy a wonderful experience . I would take mushrooms over the nonsense they call LSD now a days but that's your choice .

      Thanks, I did :) We're going to Amsterdam soon and there are lots of places you can get shrooms there, so we're probably gonna try that too :D

    I think you've built it up in your mind a little bit. I get that it was going to be a special experience that you would share together for the first time. But you need to be adaptable; that might not be how it happens. So are you going to accept that, or are you going to deprive him of his own personal experience

    Yes, talk to him. But what is the talk gong to be? Express that you placed importance on the mutual experience, and that you'd be disappointed if it doesn't happen like that. But don't ask him to not take it just because you're not going to be there. He'll only end up resenting you for that anyway.
    Just accept that you may not lose you're LSD virginity together; ultimately that really doesn't matter, and there's no reason you won't have other, wonderful experiences together in the future.

    And to save GypsySailor the trouble, it's not real LSD anyway, so the whole point is moot.

    Actually, I may have misunderstood - if you mean that you'll all be taking it together, including the other friend... then if you're feeling uncomfortable vibes beforehand, then opt to be the sitter and don't do any.

    Hi auroura,you seem like a smart open minded lass.
    Can tell you from experience doing drugs with people you dont know intimately is not a good idea.Me and an ex of mine liked to get high together...sky rocket high.One weekend a close friend of hers pops in at my place when we are on one of those trips and joins us for the ride.As soon as the ex 'left us' this chick grabs me and leads me to another room.We were both high.Next thing i know she's removing her skirt kissing me etc.Dont take me wrong she was hot and i'm ptety sure if my ex had been conscious that would have been one hell of an afternoon but not only was it uncomfortable cause i dont know this bitch but also cause without my ex knowing about it that would have amounted to cheating on her with her friend.

      I do know him intimately, more closely and trustingly than I have ever known anyone and we have told eachother things that we have never told anyone else before. Plus we're just gonna be cautious and take a little bit and see if we can break through, and it'll be just us :)
