Why 6-8? And 2 days? Never did acid, hence my question 😊
Socialise with a group and experience it together
Recover from the comedown
I feel like legit LSD has zero comedown compared to almost every other drug out there! Waking up the next day feels mega refreshing and normal compared to a heavy roll, a night of blow, RCs, or especially drinking.
Ket, LSD, snd G are the most “no comedown/hangover the next day” substances in my opinion.
It's not the comedown really, it's for psychological integration. It takes time to get acquainted with your freshly rewired brain lol
I've stopped any and all RC upper for this reason... and the toll that my heart paid
Time to prepare your headspace + environment is always good, too. I liked a day on either side. 2-3 days for integration after is ideal though. There's no way I have time for that nowadays.
Neither of these things are 100% required, FYI. You should try to have an experienced user for your first time to help guide dosage and keep you grounded. But you can find your own sweet spot for trip companions (1 or none for me) and I’ve never had a “hangover” the next day. YMMV I guess.
I surely would never touch such things without some experience guide I would also trust. But then again, I would probably never try it anyway, as I might end up liking it. And then I'd be spaced out 24/7 until it bores me :-) Besides I'd probably never feel comfy enough around others to do drugs. So that's that. Just my curiosity :(
There certainly are people that use often and others still that microdose as much as daily. But one of the best things about it, imo, is that, for the average user, it’s pretty self limiting. While I’ve never had a “hangover,” you do need to set out pretty much a full day for the trip. And if you’re using it for therapeutic or philosophical purposes, that generally stays with you for at least a month ime. It’s also a reason it’s far less of an addiction threat than people are lead to believe. Just FYI.
I'm retired since my 20s, so i can take as many days i would need. Would really really really really want to try for philosophical reasons. How would i have to imagine "stays with your for at least a month"? Like in, not tripping but still remembering the insights? And if that gets me a net-benefit, how would i NOT want to do it over and over again...i'm a pathetic weakling in terms of hedonism :-)
As with anything in life, it’s subjective and personal so you very well may want to constantly partake. I’ve just never felt the need to immediately chase ego death or the self centering I’ve experienced. Only once it’s been long enough that I feel it’s worn off and it would be beneficial to go again.
But all this is just my anecdotal, singular experience. If you’re interested in reading more, whether you actually end up trying or not, I recommend erowid.org as a fantastic resource.
