Trip tips

[Corpsey]

Any tips welcome, i'm in the mushroom/acid area usually, more mushrooms than acid

Recommendations for activities (particularly given its freezing outside), music, ways to counteract the bad trip and so on

thirdform welcome to recommending taking 500 doses and having a mental breakdown to breakcore

Go in well rested as @Mellsman said here once

 

[WashYourHands]

Avoid ponds or lakes (too soon?)

Avoid ponds or lakes (too soon?)

And clifftops, too.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Don't do it with friends who fancy themselves as practical jokers.

One of the worst trip experiences I had was around hour 8 of a trip in a cabin in the woods. we had run out of all activities by that point and werent tripping hard enough to make doing nothing fun but still high enough to make the silence extremely awkward and we all agreed to go to bed probably 4 hours earlier than we wanted. So some type of movie player for back up think is important

Choons

LOL imagining you all sitting there in silence

 

[linebaugh]

that was the same trip where earlier in the day one of the three friends and I laughed until tears for a solid five minutes at some joke and after we stopped the other very solemnly went 'I dont get it' so we were already sensitive to that sort of thing.

we were looking at I Spy books which is a good Trip Tip however

 

[Corpsey]

I'm assuming you couldn't go outside at this point, surely the woods were calling?

 

[linebaugh]

no we spent most of the trip in the woods and that part was great

the wilderness in texas can be insanely hostile. I was wearing normal shoes and jeans and my feet were still bleeding at the end of it. Im fairly sure you would die if you tried to walk an hour barefoot as all vegetation has evolved massive spikes and theres a pile of fire ants every 10 feet. Felt like a safari

 

[Mr. Tea]

Have some Xanax or similar on hand in case things all get a bit too much for you.

Don't go into it tipsy (let alone drunk), but a few glasses of good whisky or rum as you come off the peak can be absolutely glorious.

Where's Wally/Waldo could be fun, or maybe it would drive you permanently insane, who knows.

i'd be out there expecting a dungaree clad swamp man to emerge from the undergrowth with a pair of handcuffs and a shotgun

 

[Corpsey]

first time i did acid the guy i did it with gave me a beta blocker informing me it would help guard against panic attacks

i didn't have a panic attack so who knows

‘Xanax‘ could be anything, better off asking your GP, always amenable people with benzos. Dress smartly. Suits get easier access to scripts as any ex-user will attest to

You could also include reading about tripping in thorny Texas with bleeding christ-like feet and, subsequently, could they sort you out, just in case thorny Jesus appears as Pinhead. Be creative but not too creative

Really? I thought it was all but impossible to get a prescription for benzos these days, even if you have a legit anxiety disorder, since GPs are so wary (and with good reason) of people getting hooked on them.

I’d take a run at a gp over a Xanax bar pressed from god knows what, harm reduction etc
