Acid at 16

I started doing strong acid at age 13

I never drank alcohol

the best advice I can possibly give you here is first and foremost - do not drink alcohol

LSD is not a drug, it's a lot like psilocybin or DMT

it is a pure psychedelic

its nucleus is "indole" which is also the nucleus of psilocybin as well as DMT, which you produce endogenously, and even of serotonin, which I'm sure you know you produce endogenously

it is utterly familiar and wholesome and loving and kind

not at all like MDMA or ketamine or any of these other psychoactive but not psychedelic compounds which are indeed drugs and are in fact toxic

to be a responsible adult I should give you the reasons why not to do acid - the predicament that you can find yourself in still living at home with your parents is not something I have enough information about that could be detrimental to your well-being. if there's any history of mental illness and your family I would speak to a doctor before actually taking a peak amount of a psychedelic (though microdosing has become very popular and is utterly safe)

lol the suggestions aren't supposed to be in any sequence I'm just thinking of things I would say that I wish someone said to me when I was 13 and 14 and doing three times at a time about twice a week

I'm quite a bit older now and I did some a few days ago with an old friend.. it's fine

LSD is a divine teacher, respect it, ask it questions, treat it like an intelligent being, not a drug (I strongly recommend reading some of Terence McKenna's material before doing it)

it can guide you and safeguard your life, it teaches you how to respect people, how to take care of your health, and how to plan things in advance, it's a dearest friend

preparation - very very important

have a good meal without too much or any sugar or salt about an hour before you dose

and have some food also without sugar or too much salt prepared so that you can eat it when you're hungry without having to stop and think about preparing food which can be a total nuisance and ruin everything :)

whatever you're going to get into, if you draw or play music or will be sitting in a room listening to music -

start doing this right after you dose so that when it kicks in you're already in motion and it empowers what you're already doing

for listening to music I recommend absolutely pitch black darkness with headphones

I recommend Pink Floyd the album Meddle or Atom Heart Mother - warm wholesome organic music that has the exact same.. L energy running through it, it's like a safehouse

if it's your kind of thing have a notebook around and write stuff that you think about because you'll think of many things that you may really want to remember later

turn off repeat turn off all digital gadgets and communication devices, free yourself from distractions

silence is better than listening to music but listening to music by people who are very familiar with that space can be grounding

seriously and I can't stress this enough - imagine LSD is the wisest, most accredited professor/shaman/grandmother you could ever have some hours to spend time with, and that you can get answers to everything you want to ask

do not waste any of this extremely valuable time

how good food on hand, don't forget. simple stuff you can munch on to keep your blood sugar steady - potato salad tuna salad or just fine

don't drink fruit juice or soda, don't do anything too dramatically change your blood sugar, it matters much more than usual

watching Terence McKenna videos, seriously (before not during.. or maybe 5 hours after launch)

you will live long and well if you're humble and engage this angelic thang with utter respect

I can safely say I've done peak amounts about a thousand times, it's one of the safest things around physically — psychologically, that is for you or medical professional to determine, not someone online
