Things to do while tripping at a park

[gingervitus]

My friend (lets call her Derpette) and are both planning on dropping two tabs of "Yellow Stars" LSD (at least that's what I was told they were called; they're just yellow slips though). Derpette and I both split an 1/8th of mushrooms with one more kid so all three of us had a little more than a gram each, so we all had very mild experiences, the visuals only came on when we brought out the Sour Diesel blunts, but then it started going weird and I kept on seeing new things every time I blinked -- like my eyes were a camera going through different lenses. My friends only mentioned how the trees looked like people, which looked like graceful ass dancers to me -- "the trees look like people man". Either way, it was a mild dose. Other than that I've only had Foxy Methoxy (5-MeO-DiPT) that was mixed into some Ecstasy pills I got once, those just made me think deeply -- "trees are like society man" -- and got me pretty messed up, but not tripping.

Derpette and I are teenagers still so finding a nice spot to trip is tough-- last time we drove around the county finding weed and other places to crash. This time, she was going to drive us out to a public park not too far from the mall where my mom thinks I'm spending my day. The park will probably be more or less empty, a few dog walkers and maybe a summer sports league or something in the evening. Either way, I'd really really rather not have Derpette drive while were messed up, she's a pretty good drugged-driver but yeah.. obviously I'd much rather not drive if possible. In order to do that I need to keep us interested for 9 hours or so before I have to get back in the car so she can drive me back to the mall and then get a ride home from my mom -- which I'm not looking forward to at all (any idea how messed up I'll be at that point?).

What this comes down to is what can we do to entertain ourselves for hours at a public park while tripping? I was thinking about spending all my "movie money" on random cheap toys and shit at the mall before we left. Any other toys, tools, objects, supplies or whatever to make it fun? I'm not sure if there are anything that we could bring from home since my backpack would be a little too different and she won't be at her house until we meet up again which means no speakers for our iPods besides the iPods themselves and her car if she wants to let me drain her battery. So, what sort of entertaining/interesting things could we do or buy at a mall for cheap to screw with while we trip?

Along side that, any other general tips about this? Being around my mother while coming down? Preparations? Anything you can throw at me I'll appreciate immensely. Thanks a ton for any help!

And we won't have any weed to give us a boost either.

In general it is recommended to obtain some familiarity with a given substance, knowing the strength (how you personally react to) of the hits you're taking, and more tripping experience in general before attempting a lengthy trip in a public area.

Parks can be nice while tripping, but I wouldn't wanna be stuck at one for nine hours, maybe if you were enjoying yourselves and wanting to stay, but as a strict spacial limit I'd worry about feeling stranded (not necessarily outright negative, but it could get boring/neutral), I've gotten stuck in parks for hours longer than desired to due to trip intensity and it was bleh. I didn't have money to get anything though.

I'd recommend against it, even ignoring the driving while inebriated potential, I wouldn't go into such a lengthy trip knowing I was gonna be stuck in one place, and it's recommended to have somewhere 'safe' to go if things get too wonky, removed from the public eye and where you're comfortable. If you must go, and can't bring a backpack, have her bring stuff in her car.

Anyhow, art/music supplies are highly recommended (to make your own music), something sportsy/outdoorsy for physical activity, naturally you'll have your ipods (do you have one of those split headphone thingies? If you do and you have a video-capable ipod you could always watch some stuff for a while if you want to kill some time). Be mindful of the weather, if it gets cool in the evenings there you don't want to be uncomfortable, so bring appropriate clothing. Also having food/snacks/beverages on hand would be a good idea.

Wait, your mom thinks you're going to spend 9 hours at a mall? Who the hell spends 9 hours at a mall?

I will admit, I was a mall rat a few years back but that illness has been treated. I'm saying were going over a friend's house so backpack is probably gonna work anyway.

But having a place to retreat to is probably a good idea; in retrospect, thinking about being at a park for 9 hours sounds like a really long time even without drugs.

And also thanks for that forum, it's actually quite helpful.

Bring a backpack with food. If you guys get mangled ordering food or going in a grocery store can be a nightmare. Eat some fruit while tripping too, you will thank me afterwards. Bring lots of water and a blanket to lay down on, some of my best times on lsd were just laying in the grass looking at the clouds or closing my eyes. If there are forested areas that you want to venture through I'd bring some high quality bug spray for mosquitos. I'd stay away from the mall or largely populated areas, a few people here and there will be ok but when you are surrounded it can be difficult to 'control' yourself ie - laughing your ass off when people walk by. L will make hilarious ideas just pop into your head (at least for me) and you will probably just burst out in laughter. If you get lost in your thoughts at believe your trip is going south just talk to the people you are with about positive things. Don't stare at the sun for too long either! =)

It was a wonderful trip to the park while doing high doses of paper. We got ripped off, blotters had no acid. Guess I'll need to invest in a blacklight.

the black light thing is hit or miss cant really tell by using a black light, itll show you have something on a object but it wont tell you whether its lsd or not. i would cut a tab in half or in thirds next time to test it out beforehand. there are lsd test kits aswel, ya'll are all really lucky you didn't get another compound and take to much in public. would have been bad news and not much fun at all.

there are a lot of compounds out there people are passing off as lsd nowadays, some can really do some damage if you take to much. some are also a lot easier to take to much of so you have to be pretty careful when looking for lsd and believing others.

True. At least its tough to fake alcohol. No trip, that's okay I can always trust booze. But I think I'm just going to be a little less trustful when it comes to acid and from the guy in general, second time he caused me to lose a decent amount of money. Thanks for everyone's help, pity it didn't end up helping me but thanks a ton anyway! It'll be very useful to keep in mind next time!

Second time this guy has caused you to lose money/ripped you off? Just don't talk to the dude anymore, period.

He's my friend, but he's a damned good liar, I avoid business with him normally but I thought I had a chance at a drug I've had my eyes on for years. Nope. It wasn't his acid, it was like a friend of his friend's friend or something like that. Either way, I need better friends.

 

[2c-goinsane]

yeah fuck that guy(no offense just hating on him for ripping people off). seriously though i wouldn't buy anything from him again honestly, even if someone is giving me free shit nowadays i wont take it if i already know they are selling bunk product or have in the past.

be very picky every time your buying lsd or any drug really ime.
