Have you ever introduced friends to Psychedelics?

If so, which one? What were the circumstances which led to their interest in trying/your interest to introducing them? Did it turn out well for them in the future? Did they achieve what they were hoping for? And more? Or less?


Wondering this as I may be introducing the world of Psychedelics to a person who means a lot to me and my experiences seems to have sparked an interest in her... Personally knowing her and her history, she is a very strong minded person but I believe bringing out these hard-faced history into her face could be for the worse, though at the same time it could be very beneficial...
I'd much rather have a MDMA heart-to-heart experience before but unfortunatley that is not possible to obtain... 2C-C is what I am hoping will easily help me help her overcome the cultural/personal/historical issues which seem to upset her on a day-to-day basis... It seems like the lightest and easiest to gauge regarding dose and intensity... Building up over therapeutic and beneficial trips without overwhelming someone...

I know everybody reacts differently to different drugs, for me I find even the bad trips are realizations of myself that I truly believe is insight from a higher power/my soul/the earth/whatever trying to help me in the bluntest of ways. These trips when done alone can be horrifying and psychologically damaging to those unprepared for them and without support from close people... I feel the bottom line with bad/scary thoughts is acceptance of the feeling itself. Until one accepts what is causing the issue it will stay forever till the drug wears off and you can ignore it and brush it off...


I am there for the ones I introduce, and will wait for the perfect time to take-off. Most likley setting would be out on a open, peaceful, mountain range with no cliffs or dangers or people. Away from society and the city which brings so much stress and cultural worries... With additional and trusting close friends who also have experience. People to talk with... Opinions on this setting?
Only problem I see is maybe they want to witness some form of society, which probably would scare them abit while tripping, but is still possible becuase the spot would be near a out-of-city town by a lakeside...
Other issues arise if the person simply does not feel comfortable outside of a house/room... Than setting would change...

There are a few others who I may try to bring joy/understanding into their lives as well, but I honestly would like to hear other's stories with these sorts of experiences for themselves and others. :)
 
From my experience introducing people, which is not too vast, you shouldn't force them. Get them to know that you're able to introduce them, and let them come to you at their own time. Tripping is something that should come from within, not by request of others who won't stop talking about how coll and full of insights it is.

Also, be prepared for the fact that each person trips in a different way, on terms of dose/response, as well as mindspace and the way they deal with difficult experiences. You can surely help them, but they'll have to find their answers for themselves. For example, once I tripped with a friend (his 1st trip), and it amazed me as that day was so meaningful to me, with real changes (for good) in my personal relationships, and for him it was just a nice, different afternoon.

So you can try to bring joy and understanding to them, but don't try too hard. You'll be above average if you bring it to yourself.

Truth, I'd be more of a sitter/fellow tripper to help them dwelve into their own minds...
I guess I forgot to mention that it's mostly up to the individual to find answers for themselves which I did mention to the others but didn't include into this post =D
Bringing a bit of joy in another person just brings a certain feeling inmyself I can't really explain. Fixes the balance of empathy I feel to those around me in which I feel they are looking for answers but have tried all other options without having the oppurtunities to explore within their own psyche

I've met people who take these for purely recreational experiences - gave a strong dose of Salvia to somebody for their first experience beyond Marijuana, and they just screamed non-stop in terror for 15 minutes while the others sat around laughing at them...
Awful, terrifying experience I'm sure. That person hasn't touched much else since, except with her boyfriend and LSD without the additional idiot friends...

I do believe these things come to people on their own without them searching for them... That is just being greedy no matter what good intention may exist underneath it... I don't lead trips, I like to be there for supportive comfort and safety...
 
yeh i have introduced my 2 best friends to LSD, speed, ketamine, mdma... it was all at the right time, i used to take it and they would ask more about it, i told em what i knew and something i ALWAYS say to people who are going to try anything is to "read up and do your own research, NEVER take something just on someone elses advice" i think its important that they know as much as they can, they get the curiosity and i have the tools and experience to help them into what can be a scary world!
both my best mates had lsd with me on seperate occasions one was a night out in skegness, one was a night in lincoln, both times were the top two nights of my life! ill never forget that for as long as i live! :)

i HATE this! with a passion! stupid tw@ts screwing someone over! very sad, something like that could really screw you up! me and my friends are close and we always know we can help each other out, i cant be around ball bags if im tripping it puts me on a downer just being around them!
 
2C-C is always my preferred psych for a friend's first trip.
It's fairly predictable and easy to measure. The only negative physical effects that come up now and then are body temperature fluctuations during the trip and a headache the following day.

My 2nd choice would be a low-mid dose of mushrooms.

But like the others were getting at, I try to be careful who I introduce these things to. They need to have some desire of their own to experience a trip.
 
In my case back in high school people always aproached me once they decided to do a phycadelic. Most of the time i barley knew them but they came to me because all there friends did was weed and alchohol, also because i was constintly on dxm and had alot of stories and early experiance with peyote, mescaline, salvia, lsd, hbwr, ketamine, deleriants, mushrooms as well as massive oral dosages of weed. i ususally just sold them some dxm caps or gave them some ground hbwr and told them how not to die when taking phycadelics. As i look back i regret almost all of my refrences...
 
I have introduced many people to psychedelics. In fact on two separate occasions I introduced people to 2c-e, and they ended up calling 911 on themselves and snitching on me. Luckily I didn't get into any legal trouble, but I was interrogated by the cops. I've learned 2c-e is a terrible psychedelic for beginners. Its pretty strong, and the physical side effects are overwhelming and often nauseating. The worst possible time to feel like shit is when your tripping, and that's exactly what 2c-e dose.
 
Today I fed my friend 4-aco-dmt and it was beautiful. It was his first psychedelic experience and I loved being able to guide him through it.

Prior to this, he had only smoked weed and drank, maybe ritalin here or there. But he seemed to me like the ideal candidate for this sort of thing; kind of gave off the right vibes if you know what I mean. So last night after we had smoked I brought up the topic of psychedelics casually--and I sort of slipped it into conversation that I'd be tripping today. That turned into me innocently asking if he'd ever be interested in doing such a thing, in which he responded in the affirmative, and here we are.
I hope he takes a lot away from today, because I know I have.
 
I remember when I introduced my best friend to acid.

We sat in my bedroom having tiny adventures for hours until, in the early hours of the morning, we walked across the road to the park to sit on the swings and watch the sun come up. It was glorious; the park sat atop a hill and overlooked a vast stretch of city vista that glimmered in the dark with a thousand argon-yellow streetlights, and as the sun rose it burst like a watermelon, spilling orange and gold and red into the cloud and the blue sky. He afterward said it was the single greatest experience of his life. I still shiver with joy thinking that I gave that gift to another being.
 
yes, i introduced one of my really good buddies that i have known since the 3rd grade LSD. He loved it, said it was definitley one of if not the most memorable experience of his life, he said he never not thought lsd would be like that, also said it made him open his eyes up to the world more. Him and i tripped together on the same dose he handled it very well.

That reminds me of one time when I did shrooms with my gf (at the time) and another friend. She was all gung ho to do them, and as soon as she was tripping she completely flipped out, saying she wanted to undue it and wanted to go to the hospital... I tried to explain that she just needed to wait it out, and then she kept trying to call 911.

Luckily, I was able to stop her and get the phone away... I gave both our phones to my buddy who left by himself, and I had to spend the rest of the trip trying to calm her down and help her to enjoy it. It was a terrible experience to have to deal with her... what a waste of shrooms lol
 
Two nights ago I introduced two friends to shrooms, everyone had a fantastic time.
I thought it would be an average dose, but for some reason we all ended up fucked.

At first I was doing a fairly good trip sitter job, but after the second tea (I had double what I gave them, due to it being there first time) I lost my shit, in a good way of course.

We sat up for hours, even watched the sunrise, that was extremely magical. All had sore stomachs by the end of the night from laughing so much. Had a ball.

They both left the next morn with big smiles on their faces, thanking me for such a great time, considering one of them was on hands and knees for 3 hours, waddling round my kitchen table with a blanket wrapped around him, thought at one stage I'd got him too fucked, but he looooved it.
 
The only psychadelic I have ever introduced to people is 2C-C just because its so hard to bad trip on. I would feel terrible if I gave somebody a substance that they freaked out on, my friend gave someone he knew mushrooms for the first time and they bad tripped and kept on repeating "Why did you do this to me?" Which would obviously make someone feel pretty terrible.
 
You hqve to be really careful with this. I have helped alot of people trip and a couple of them had latent mental illness that surfaced. Both of them were very eager to trip, it seems that sometimes those most eager.to dive in can be the ones at risk of adverse reactions. Its a strange and important responsability. I agree with the above posters that 2c-b or 2c-c are a good starting point. people may be weary or chemicals they may not have heard of before, but starting someone out on something like LSD can result in some seious problems.
 
I used to love introducing people to psychedelics (and new drugs in general) but have come to change my mind after one of my mates has become practically obsessed with AMT. Not even in a using it to enchance your well being kind of way, just "love getting fucked and seeing cool shit".

My policy now is to let people know about them and then wait for them to ask me. If they never do them then you can't miss what you've never tried right?
 
I've introduced at least two people to their first dissociative (Ketamine), and at least four people to their first psychedelic (2C-E for the first three, then aMT for the fourth, which I consumed for the first time at the same time.).

I enjoy introducing people to new experiences that they'll like provided that they already have some interest in the first place, as it's always fun watching someone during their first ever trip and it's good knowing you're there to help if any problems arise, rather than them having their first trip alone or with someone who can't be trusted to help out.

All of the introductions have gone well, and it's made me come to some conclusions about the psychological impact of your background knowledge of a substance on the trip you have - since with all these people, the little they knew about the substances were what I had told them, and their trip really seemed to reflect my exact words rather than the broad spectrum of effects people experience.

For example, I convinced all the people taking 2C-E that it was nausea free (because, for me, it was) - and none of them experienced any, while a friend of mine who took some of my 2C-E later on after having read up about it online, including reports of bodyload etc - had severe nausea and vomiting. With the aMT I actually told my friend it was going to be quite nauseous because most reports seemed to indicate that, and it was very much so, for both of us - while the second trip, I convinced myself that the nausea was psychological, and went on not to throw up :)
 
I'm like a virus, I infect my environment with drugs (especially psychedelics).
Pff, I hate it and feel sad about it.
 
i've introduced my brother to LSD, and some other friends to 4-aco-dmt

I've also introduced a couple people to MXE

no bad experiences so far!
