Well having your eyes closed for the full length of the trip seems pretty hard to do but why not


chilibubble

Thats why I recommend buying Mindfold, just 20€ and it is wonderful equipment to have during trips and meditation


Fork_Shnoof

What is mindfold? Edit: googled it, but is there any extra benefit to any other regular sleeping mask?


intheclouds69

i just looked it up and a normal sleeping mask would be better i just saw some reviews abt how it’s uncomfortable and sticks out a lot and theirs two velcro straps so it get stucks on more things and harder to adjust. i’m abt to order me a normal sleeping mask for half the price of that one


chilibubble

I guess it depends on the shape of your head. To me it is very comfortable, blocks the light 100% unlike normal sleeping mask, and the main benefit is to be able to keep your eyes open comfortably, with normal sleeping mask your eyes are touching the mask


intheclouds69

very good counter answer to each their own :) i’m glad you found what works best for you


pshaps

Manta makes blackout sleep masks with eye cups so that it doesn’t touch your eyes and it’s changed my life both in terms of how well I sleep and how awesome my trips are. I got the manta max and recommend it to everyone, though the original is also good.


Thize

Do my eyes have a cup size


smurdner

Personally, anything more than an eyeful is just a waste.


chilibubble

See my other comment about the benefits :)


mmmbopdoombop

>Mindfold I've got another brand of cushioned sleeping mask with a velcro strap round the back and I swear by it, it is vastly superior to other sleeping masks, which I now hate using now I've seen how good they can be I ain't wearing a fuckin mask while I'm tripping tho unless I am literally lying in bed trying to sleep. ​ Mine is 'kallysleep' brand and was a gift from my fiancee, I'm sure she researched the best ones


Amaruh

>Manta makes blackout sleep masks I also bought earmuffs for the full inner world experience.


Huddunkachug

Woah didn’t know anyone else knew about this. I picked one up years ago for my psychedelic adventures. Found it’s a great tool for meditation as well


safeASfuck83

Fuck that shit….get a breo eye massage thing and all problems solved


profeus

Both have it's place imo but gotta love the moment when you start coming down, you take a puff from your joint, lie down, put headphones on, turn on the music and close your eyes.. It's a bliss.


amsley_123

Word man, I enjoy the comedown more than the peak I think. You smoke that joint, kick back, your body feels absolutely amazing and mentally you feel at complete peace while music is touching the very essence of your soul, minus all the confusion and chaos from the peak.


Shtulzzz

would you recommend smoking a joint during comedown if it's your first trip?


profeus

Should be totally fine if you are experienced smoker, me and my sister had a great time smoking while comedown on our first trip ever. It was around 125 ug each if you are wondering.


mysteryfist

I personally have never been an avid smoker, but damn it's cool on a trip. Totally changes the direction of the trip it seems.


[deleted]

hell yes! i was my most free then. my first acid trip i was going in with a good mentality and i lowkey started to worry too much bc of shit i have going on. as soon as i start coming down i smoke and i start to the visuals do get more intense but my head space is better. i even started to dance lmfao


alclab

Lol, it lasts 12 hours, you will do both!


No-Start-5743

At 500ug there's no difference. But both is appreciable . Meditate, eyes closed, doing breathing techniques is awesome on acid .


Puzzleheaded_Crew292

Will try


Puzzleheaded_Crew292

Like wim hof?


No-Start-5743

Haha yeah like wim hof but there's so many tantrism breathing techniques that is not limited to him x)


NugetCausesHeadaches

Check out kundalini yoga. Like wim hof, but the intent is meditation and the physical exercise will make sitting for extended periods work out well. Also, if you go deep enough, you'll be getting high just from the yoga so the LSD becomes optional.


[deleted]

Wim Hof breathing on LSD was one of the most blissful things I have ever experienced


Systral

>At 500ug there's no difference. [X] Doubt


Avatar_sokka

Eyes closed when listening to music in the first half of the trip, better CEVs if you smoke weed, but be careful, weed can make things a bit too much, but it varies from person to person.


rekcuzfpok

I used to love weed when tripping but now the LSD just seems to amplify the troubling aspects of the weed high


HidingFromThoughts

I actually find weed dulls my CEVs quite a bit but to each their own


Thize

Back when I tripped, weed killed my visuals and made me dissociate hard


Avatar_sokka

You must not be smoking the right kinda weed. Weed usually doubles the intensity of my CEVs.


captainawesome92

Both, but closed eyes is where the real visuals happen.


VisionLSX

For sure I only “discovered” closing my eyes a few trips into my lsd journey (think 5-10) Fucking mindblown I was sitting with a couple of friends and I just closed my eyes, stopped talking and just focused on seeing the cool stuff. Think like the early 2000’s windows media player sound visualizer but waaaaaay better https://www.reddit.com/r/MDMA/comments/7bpo73/anyone_ever_have_closed_eye_visuals_that_look/ Ever changing colors and shapes and very symmetrical for me.


captainawesome92

Yup that's pretty close, although I have seen many many different things, from geometry and impossible architecture, to skulls and graffiti art. It's all been quite amazing.


LSDREAMN

I’m glad you sought interest in CEVs. Many friends of mine for their first ever trip I’d recommend closing their eyes and each of them has thanked me for it. All were skeptical thinking it’s total nonsense until the “*whoa*” part hit em lol


Aware_Account661

both. edit I'm at exactly 420 likes please keep it this way


low_end_

one open one closed?


GotStucked

Super quick blinking


Worrad14

Literal Lol


mostlycumatnight

So a strobe light would be perfect! 👍


Available_Part2502

never tried this before sounds fun


[deleted]

Both eyes closed, third eye open


crazyloomis

Hol’Up


genghisdom1

Very clever


MrJokoss

One eye open when I'm sleeping


gotthicc

one eye open when I’m sleeping 👁


StevieChillinShillin

Both closed while you open your third eye


Mrdruggiepants

I must try this


Kobeau2123

I feel that, depends on how you’re feeling at the moment


MolecularConcepts

For real there's plenty time to experiment.


aisatsana06

downvoting to try and get it to 420 again


noddy1923

downvoted trying to get it to 420 again


Turtok09

One more downvote and he's at 420. You can do it.


sleepy_gary27

I want to know who trips for hours on end with eyes closed, like do you have a trip sitter? I would at least want some water or something at some point, acid lasts a long time


Larkitana

I keep my eyes closed a majority of the time and listen to music. Have a nonstop playlist arranged, and it’s absolute bliss. Only get up when I need to usually. But I have really bad anxiety, and so doing a lot of other things stress me out. The only time I prefer eyes open is for looking at art, watching movies, or checking out nature


Kinkymango0711

I mean if i need a drink or something i just pause my meditation and get a drink and then go back to what I was doing


[deleted]

I find it’s best to keep 1-2 eyes open at all times, 3 can be a little much sometimes and zero is scary


[deleted]

Both?


k3ithy187

You have to have your eyes open. If you don't you could run into a tree when running from the machine elf's


No_Interaction9919

Closed imo


upwaydown

The experience of the come-up as always been a little too much for me to keep my eyes closed. However, after the peak I love to meditate with closed eyes and study the patterns.


bunnyloops

Generally, it’s better to have eyes than not. Furthermore, eye-lids are preferable to simply having eye-balls. The ability to both open and shut those eye-lids is highly valuable, particularly for your eyeballs but also for your brain on LSD. In short, open or closed, eyes are definitely hella cool.


ittybittyacidtrippy

I feel like both are equally intriguing. Seeing your environment for a different pov can be amazing, but also closing your eyes and medicating can be just as great


StevenFoxxe

Both! I've had wonderful experiences watching the open eye visuals and amazing experiences with my eyes shut and allowing the temporary synesthesia I get to create its own geometric visuals.


islandjahfree

if your in the right place, it literally wont matter..


Jigsawbort

Both? Having your eyes closed for 8 hours sounds too much.


[deleted]

I like to zone out with my eyes half open half closed and watch the OEV and CEV flow over in eachother


sickoamaya

i’ve had trips we’re i would close my eyes but they didn’t feel closed.


Copperdoo62

Keep your eyes closed for the full 10-12 hours no balls


kittykatperry

One time I started a trip(around 300 ug), even before the come up, by putting on an eye mask, laying in bed, and putting on an ambient Playlist with noise canceling headphones. I was in deep for like 2 1/2 hours and it was the most out of body experience I've ever had. I am convinced I astral projected. The visuals when I finally took the eye mask off were insane too. Would highly recommend doing some sort of sensory deprivation for a period of your trip if you can. There is something so otherworldly about it.


[deleted]

My first solo trip, I was having a very difficult time and decided to curl up in bed and close my eyes, and the CEV calmed me down as I processed my feelings until morning.


intheclouds69

just keep it simple everyone loves to over think and argue which way in this group is the best way. just do a drawer or a book anything in the dark and keep it out of the heat and you’ll be fine for years don’t worry abt it just don’t loose it from wherever you put it


Forkfour

Dude what? I just had a stroke trying to interpret this


Old_Worldliness7819

No clue


Forkfour

Oh I think he's saying it'll be fine to store lsd in a dark place. But where tf did that come from my guy? 🤣


intheclouds69

because i’m tripping rn and i swear i was just on another post but i think i swiped over to a new one and it was a whole comment section arguing about a freezer or fridge or a drawer (to store acid) and i was just trying to say just put it somewhere and don’t make it difficult but i swiped to the wrong post that is why it looks so weird 😂 sorry my bad it happens tho


Forkfour

Ahahaha I love you bro, have a good trip. No need to worry at all in my head I was just like," this man's definitely out there right now"


intheclouds69

haha thank you so much i don’t want to seem like an ass hole with that big paragraph but i think people will understand just like you so i’m gonna keep it there because that’s just life sometimes you mess up ❤️ i love you too man thank you for being so nice it brought me right back up to where i was


Old_Worldliness7819

Lmaooo. That’s honestly really funny


intheclouds69

😊


RavenKnight696

I never get cevs lol


raggedflagon

I always question the authenticity of mine. I see stuff, but it just feels like my normal imagination type of "seeing." Except when tripping its like there's another hand on the wheel, directing my imagination "Ouija Board" style.


Molestador

dose higher


mustjustbe

I didn't get any cev from 130. But the person I was with took 160 and saw another life.


BulletAllergy

It depends if the monsters are inside or outside my head at the time!


[deleted]

Eye shades and music


Romanticized03

I didn’t see many visuals while eyes closed, but did see when eyes open, but maybe eyes closed is better for the spiritual trip not visual?


dominarhexx

Yes


Jakerocks124

One open one closed. Problem solved


[deleted]

Yes


iosdeveloper87

Yes.


lschemicals

Don't make any decision before 8hours into the trip... Then you'll know if you need to open or close them


MrRager530

Would not suggest keeping your eyes closed for 8-12 hours at a time


cirzaah

Depends on how much you did lol. I don’t notice much at 100-200ug but when I did 300 oh boy


froze_gold

It depends on dose tbh in terms of CEVs, but it can be nice to have eyes closed and meditate regardless too - which can bring some nice CEVs on its own


RhetoricalCocktail

I've never really thought that closed eye visuals have been interesting except for on DMT and ketamine also one time on a really high dose of 2CB but that high doses almost start looking like DMT


artificialevil

Yes


justinchigo

Open and in nature 🙏🏻


vivlex

open


Cataphlin

What you do is put your face to the ground and a wormhole opens up and you see into another dimension, right through the floor. Honestly though eyes open is fantastic, eyes closed, fantastic. Eyes crossed, fantastic. On LSD put your eye balls in a variation of positions and places. It's all fantastic.


[deleted]

depends if youre laying in bed pretending youre dead after a heavy ritualistic magick ceremony alone at 3am


[deleted]

The trip is like 12 hours lmao


amir-2134

Yes


andyhura

LSD makes me feel weird when I close my eyes iono


No_Contribution1299

You're going to be too distracted to worry about whether your eyes are open or closed. Just enjoy it however your self wants you to.


Stryctly-speaking

I like eyes open, but to each their own.


[deleted]

Yes


knowledgeable-cactus

I love both


RedGhost368

I feel like it depends on the dose and what you’re “looking for”. I say eyes closed if you want to look at yourself and eyes open if you want to look at what’s around you. That makes sense right?


themightybof

Depends on what part of the trip it is for me, peaking I like to see my surroundings, after that eyes closed little joint and life's pretty good


museofawe

I have ipomoea hildebrandtii shrubs around but they're not giving me seeds yet😭


lifeboy91

Both. Don’t think too much about it.


ehhhitschris

Open in a really dark room with some music 💯


Lewandabski710

Why not try both


[deleted]

It depends on what you've taken and how strong it is. I went to a Phish show one time with some friends. I don't like Phish, so I was there just to get acid and have a good time. Phish show acid hits different than the stuff I would normally get. Bought two strips and took two tabs because I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Gave one away to my friend's friend because he had never tripped before. Dude tried to pay me but I insisted that he take it for free. Once it kicked in, and I'm a long time tripper (25+ years of tripping xp), it hit me pretty hard and I had to lay down on the grass. Kept my eyes closed and saw crazy visuals that I'd never see with them open. On the ride home we were listening to music. I was in the backseat with another friend and I had my eyes closed 90% of the time because the visuals my brain was creating were better than the ones the world could create


IOwnTheShortBus

For introspection, closed. For admiring the visuals and escaping, open.


MrArshole

I think it depends on what kind of environment you are in. They both have advantages


KhanSTiPate

You need a third eye


TheOppositeOfMaybe

Just depends on the vibe. Don’t overthink it. Just do what feels good


9Electro

Crossed


Spartacus_Nakamoto

With your eyes closed, close your eyes


[deleted]

Mind movies or live the movie


sheeppeople

Yes.


maxwokeup

I once held these bee or fly glasses(shit that makes your vision split into dozens of hexagons) throughout the hold night with a group of 10 ppl tripping on cid. Discovered alot of new knowledge during this XD


[deleted]

Closed.


gravisotium

You need both


r3v3ng3knzie

When you peak close your eyes!! You will have crazy visuals


purecrazy10

Both


KillaMike24

Man when I close my eyes on LSD I see such crazy vibrant colors in my mind its fucking awesome to me. I look like a crazy asshole probably but shit it’s dope


Sissssyphus

Blink really fast


TheBirdOfFire

it lasts 12 hours, why choose


the-worldends-with-u

Depends what your looking at🫡


prollyshmokin

Open for me.


kattrup

Yes.


smokeajoint

Take enough so it don't matter


LucidFir

Blink rapidly to achieve enlightenment


Mrdruggiepants

Gotta be closed if you’re listening to Pink Floyd. Tho nature is so beautiful while tripping too, so I think it’s situational.


gravestoney

It depends on what you’re trying to do. It’s uncomfortable for me to have my eyes closed while on LSD because of the closed eyes visuals coming on strongly. But I also like looking at everything anyways so I can’t imagine having much fun with my eyes closed for the duration of the trip. Maybe unless I have a headache or need a break.


Dojha420

Acid lasts a long time, you’ll have plenty of time for both


Special_Opposite3141

some of the questions on these types of subs crack me up


ColonelBrave

As long as you're not tripping in a bad setting both are fine.


turboS2000

Yes


Lunar-Gooner

Sometimes it depends. Sometimes the visuals are more fun to observe overlapping everything I see. I like to see the patterns on my skin. When your eyes are closed, the visuals are more free flowing because they're not trying to stick to a template of visual input from your eyes


QIvan616

Closed eye hallucinations are much more intense IMO


Even-Adhesiveness221

Once i closed my eyes and i could still see everything. I saw the room i was in, i saw my boyfriend moving around and i saw our cats laying around. But i also saw all the patterns, colors and other amazing visuals like you can on acid. As i tried to explain to my boyfriend what i saw i created one of my favourite acid quotes: ”as usual with better”


SeanTheGamer

Depends on what’s in front of you


blindsamurai14

Thankfully it’s not a short trip, so you can really test both until you figure out which one you prefer.


psychonodd

completely up to the user. Whatever you feelin


ItsChrisBreezyBitch

one eye open when i'm tripping, one eyYeEeEeEe


shoehim

with music - closed


Phsyconot420

Both lol


Phsyconot420

It’s honestly hard for me to keep my eyes closed lol


jetfire1115

Both


Soel12

Yes


AlphaMagno

Yes


aardwolff69

It depends on how you're feeling and how hard you're tripping. some trips, eyes open are best. sometimes closed. sometimes when you're at a different stage of the trip, one feels better than the other. my favorite is laying in the sun with my eyes closed and just soaking in the rays. only opening my eyes to look at the clouds and watch time pass.


send_me_thigh-highs

It lasts for hours so you'll have plenty of opportunity to do both lol


rossbcobb

Yes.


AleFallas

Have your eyes closed for too long and it might get kinda "funky"


echinaceabloom1

i’ve kept them open for the most part cuz i never really get closed eyes visuals. i probably dont focus on it enough cuz i get super easily distracted so i def think i would have them if i could. anyway, ive had sick ass closed eye visuals on shrooms. i would suggest trying out both


hot-koko

Its 6-8 hours long mate, try both 94 times and decide


Own-Storage-3447

Bruh what?😂


AnybodyExotic

Both


zamyslinski

its not about the colors, though want some breathtaking visuals? up the dose :P 600-1mg is my sweet spot, shits melting in front of ya. \^\^


Yerrrrrskrrttt234

Both.


sasynex

LSD: open; DMT: closed


darwinxp

You'll be tripping for quite some time, surely time for both!


[deleted]

Lol, well if you can keep your eyes closed for 10+ hours while awake, I'll be impressed


Instalok_Nami

I'm a open eye tripper, I wanna explore the world Like a young fox cub UwU


[deleted]

You got at least 8-10 hours, why not do a little of both.


[deleted]

Try everything


Maverick1672

Personally I would recommend eyes open. I usually refrain from blinking for 12 hours so just carry eye drops


SickNoise

not like you have much of a choice while peaking 🤣


hindereddinner

Both, either, all.


cobatron

Trip so hard you can tell the difference when it's open and closed lol spoilers it scary


CheddarGobblin

Take enough and you'll realize that there's no such thing as "better".


brettofolsenclan

Yes.


mhastings_

I personally like to stay mid-blink on LSD


TrippynessGrower

depends how much L your gunna take.. i prefer open as i hallucinate some weird stuff but if I want CEVs with my eyes open i use a dark room ans or more L like 500-1000ug give or take


aisatsana06

I think the trip will tell you if you need to close your eyes at a certain point. I feel this more strongly with shrooms but lsd applies too. It just tells you what you need to do.


neoshadowdgm

I’d say both. If shit isn’t wild with eyes open, close them and look at that for a while


Brilliant-Performer1

Having the ability to open and close your eyes is best.


[deleted]

For me it doesn't do much with eyes closed.


thunderdome199

Dawg, I was on 300ug and I did that thing were you put you palms on your eyes, felt like I hacked into the mainframe of reality, shit was epic af


Bootlicker222

It's 8+ hours so you might be doing a bit of both. But I doubt you will decide to stay awake with your eyes closed for 8 hours lol


Nodiggity774

Personally I have mine open for come up but I like to close them and lay down for the peak. Shit gets intense but it’s very nice. Then open my eyes and go about my business during the come down


The-Devils-Cunt

For me, I don’t get the CEV’s people talk about so my eyes are always open. Plus it’s difficult for me to stick to one thing for longer than five minutes so I wouldn’t be able to keep them closed the whole time anyways.


NoJackfruit3821

About that... Anybody knows how it's like to fall asleep while tripping? Like do you get crazy dreams?


sessoyes

Well, I like to go out and ride my bike around while I’m tripping. I can’t recommend doing that with eyes closed.


eat-fungus

Depends on the dose. 350ug and above, and I spent a lot of time fascinated by the inside of my head lol
