Eyes are hard to draw. When I sketch, I often leave figures faceless or eyeless because I want to focus on poses or shapes.

How fucking long do LSD trips last?
miniphil527
Enough to party
apotatochip
long enough to learn too much
juzsayin
It depends on the quality of the acid. In the days of 'clear light' (70s) around 10-12 hours. The first 8 being fairly intense.
xmsbeanx
Last I tripped was in the early 2000's but every time lasted around 12 hours for me...but I was always last to go to asleep out of the group
easysteezy
most common is between 6-12 hours, depending on the dose, but it can vary greatly
mortarpadowan
I've had them last up to 20 hours at times, but typically around 8 hours.
waevski
I think it's about 8 hours long starting from when the initial effects hit. It can take an hour or so for it to start kicking in, though.
buttholewizard
I've tripped 3 separate times, and each time it was like 12 hours long. Absolutely fantastic...or horrific. Whichever.
deepdishonyourdick
If you have really good LSD...3 days.
TheiSuck5
Well, a bad trip can leave effects for 20hrs.
LaChicaConeja
A bad trip will last just as long as a good trip provided its the same dose. Effects last 12 hours with the peak lasting from 4 to 8 hours
ionlyspeakthetruth
They're called trips for a reason
shadowlev
My great uncle took too much once and stood outside holding a wall up for 3 days because he thought it was falling over...
vanillamellow
Hahaha oh god.

to summarize all of the comments, between 6 hours and 3 days

A couple hours depending on how much you take.

Actually it's one of the few drugs where dose has almost NOTHING to do with duration.

(2) from him, and different dealers, and I pretty much always feel like I'm coming down faster off just a little bit.
Drpurrpurrpurr
Total 6-11 hours. Onset 20-60 minutes, coming up 15-30 minutes, plateau 3-6 hrs, coming down 3-5 hrs.
comehonorfacetwice
Mine have never been that way, with a single plateau. I usually peak 3-4 times with one that is noticeably stronger than the rest.
vanillamellow
Holy fuck.
bumblebeehedgehogfish
Unless you take it nasally or through the eye (not advised): onset about 5 mins, coming up about an hour, everything else roughly as above.

SirFartsAlot1
It's invigorating.
RollinUpSolo
if you stay up the entire night tripping, you will sleep all damn day.
peterpaoliello
it is, that's why they call it a trip!
fyPhilosophy
It's coupled with euphoria. Drug trips without euphoria are actually quite scary.
pancreas
drugs are not a thing to be taken lightly. and anyone who does take them lightly deserves the consequences of their stupidity.
iamsatan
Shrooms would probably be a better drug if you want a shorter but similar high
raggedyanndroid
Shrooms are also a more physical than just mental high, I believe.
iamsatan
A little bit. But I find they're more fun and you wont be high for 12-16 hours and can actually go to bed after you're done.

Averagepoorstudentcanadianguy
As someone who already did a 5 hour badtrip on pot brownies, I really don't feel like having a 9 hour LSD trip x)...
RollinUpSolo
to be honest op has to be lying. the peak on a trip is 2 maybe three hours. at the sixth or seventh hour the high is almost gone.
Woahilikeit
aww me too! It was my second time. The only thing we had for munchies was more pot brownies. I ended up screaming and not realizing it
thenermis
lol your pretty cool dude
MrROFLKNIFE
Can you really have that bad of a trip with pot?
Woahilikeit
Not really. I freaked out because my senses were going crazy and I no idea what to expect or how to take everything. Then again I've met pt1
Woahilikeit
a few people who have thrown up after smoking too much. Beyond that it's just enjoyable.
Averagepoorstudentcanadianguy
The badtrip itself isn't long, but it seems to be when you're experiencing it and it's very intense. I once called an ambulance for a friend
MrROFLKNIFE
I'm curious because I'm the type who can't handle horror movies, I've had badtrips so far but I can usually keep it out if I focus. Just >>
MrROFLKNIFE
<< always worried that I won't be able to stop it one time, you know?
AsAnAlaskan
I get anxiety at the most intense part of the high, like pacing, checking my pulse, trying not to have a panic attack, the rest of it I like
AsAnAlaskan
But the residual affects leave me shaky and unable to sleep, sad, I miss it sometimes
AsAnAlaskan
Every now and then I'll try it again, just to see... same effect every time.

My personal experience of it lasted ~14 hours, was quite an experience.

as a young, dumb 16 year old I took 2 hits of LSD at 8 pm expecting to be good for my 6 am flight. I was not.
deadlyhandsomeman
Typically around 8.
lazerhosen
6-10 hours sounds more like shrooms. 8-14+ is more like acid.

If it's lasting 14+, probably not LSD but a RC analogue.

Longer, sometimes. It comes back if you smoke pot while tripping, too.
AMisterShoe
Actually its just that marijuana has similar effects on the brain, so it feels like it, but the chemical residuals are depleting.
subutexwiller
Actually it lasts way longer. The crazy visual part last about 9-10h, and after that you just come up with stupid stuff for 12 hours.

piggypiglet
They do when you mix that shit with speed. The first 4 hours were fun...
Facedancer
speed would keep you awake but wouldn't prolong the optics during the trip,9 to 12 hours depending on the microgram dosage is normal
piggypiglet
Not much optical, just paranoia it would go away, then major whirling feelings while trying to lie down - for hours and hours...
Facedancer
yeah,sounds like "good" old amphetamin pushing through.sure wasn't the best experience and i hope it didn't leave a bad mark
piggypiglet
The odd panic attack years later thinking it was a flashback and thus panicking even more but self med by reducing coffee, worked a treat :)

t0nyfranda
In my experience, LSD is a 24 hour commitment. It's a CRAZY fucking experience.

if you actually trip for that long, you didn't do LSD. But you might be talking about the recovery/planning period too.
AMisterShoe
12 hours. Never had a 24 hours effect, though the next day colors look different. I've taken a lot of acid so, yeah. DOC on the other hand.
lazerhosen
I think he means the other 12 hours are for sleep, even so I usually take the next day off work for the afterglow you're talking about.
AMisterShoe
That makes more sense.

Yeah, one time I took some real strong stuff, 2 hits and I was soaring for over 12 hours. Had to sleep, took ambien and (1/2)

As someone who is genuinely curious, how dangerous is LSD, if at all?
Datmurdaa
no danger, granted you get the real stuff and dont take more than your ready for. Always remember if you buy the ticket you take the ride.
imsohungryrightnow
They can actually last longer, but the primary effects are around that long.
AMisterShoe
If you take more than a single hit of it, which should be 10-15 cmg, then yes. Otherwise no. I've had it last 14 hours with 2 hits though.
imsohungryrightnow
I've taken 3-5 hits a number of times. That range left me with minor hallucinations ~18 hours later.

Taking a single hit is for first timers ;)

I'm not stupid mate, I take these things seriously. But it's not uncommon to misinformed when it comes to this particular drug. Similarities
lazerhosen
He's partially correct. Acid is crystalline, taking a thumbprint can last up to 3 months.
walrusarts
That's what I've read, I've had crystal acid a couple of times and only eaten it from the eye of a needle. First time had a lot more though.

lol, acid is crystalline. Most people never see it in such a high concentration though. Plus taking a thumbprint can last up to 3 months.

Yeah, but only DOx's can be laid out on blotter, and are noticeably different than acid. Depending on the 2C, also quite different.

But I get what you're saying. Too often do people pass off research chems as LSD only to have people eat too much and freak out.
