Tripping inside a prison cell

I read a thread about tripping on a plane, and it reminded me of when I was in juvy for 6 months (I've only been in real jail for 11 days, so juvy is my only comparison to a long stint in jail) and REALLY wished I knew someone that could send me some 2c-I blotted onto a letter. But I didn't know anyone with access to it at the time, so it never happened.

But my question is, what are everyone's opinions on tripping in jail???

I know the first 1-2 weeks it would be a TERRIBLE idea, because the shock of being in jail with nothing but an orange jump-suit mixed with any level of ego loss would probably be too much of a shock when you first got there, and you'd probably want to join a gang and start killing people for them, and end up institutionalized.

But after 1-3 months, once you feel like you were born there and are going to die there, maybe then It would be fun to stare at the wall as it wiggles, and think some deep thoughts and maybe write a book or some lyrics if you're a musical person. And jail is really not "restrictive" once you get used to it. As long as you don't cause trouble you stay in general population, which means you have like 75 people to talk to, and some jails don't even have cells. Just bunks and wall dividers. But since the bathrooms in jails are "gym" style sometimes (with lots of toilets instead of just one in your room), you don't have a locked door or you'd be shitting your pants sometimes. So there is basically "open space" as well as plenty of people to talk to. And you live with them, so you get to know them pretty well.

I just want to know what everyone's opinion of tripping (on ANYthing) while trapped in a small metal/cement box is...
 
When I trip on phenethylamines, I rarely leave my bedroom. LSD and 4-sub tryptamines however make me really want to escape my apartment and go adventuring. I have never been to jail so can't imagine what it would be like but I would say that it's only worth doing if you already know what your behaviour is like on a particular class of substance.

Seems like a horrible and desperate idea, because the setting is not controllable... it is being controlled by others. And that breaks an important rule for me.

I would practice meditation instead.
 
Well, I've never been to jail. That said, even when I'm in a comfortable space, I find it really unpleasant to hide the fact that I'm tripping from people who I'd rather didn't know. I imagine that in jail that would only be worse.

Of course you wouldn't want to take a new substance in jail, lol. And you're right about staying in one spot on phenos. On 2c-I I felt like we were in one room talking about the world, while "Life" was on the outside and couldn't hear us.

I tried meditating in jail, and I just fell asleep. That's what happens ANY time I try to meditate sober.

I never feel unpleasant about hiding it, I just feel like everyone already knows and like maybe they're tripping too. :D

I tripped in actual prison and was just fine.

In fact, I had just dosed and then got called to fix the plumbing (being the emergency plumber at the time) and thought I was going to have a bad trip.

But...

When I got to the lieutenants office and was waiting for the officer to take me to the offending plumbing, I looked up in the sky and saw a single tiny cloud in the otherwise clear empty blue sky shaped just exactly like a skull and cross bones. I immediately laughed, and knew I was going to have a good trip and stopped worrying about it. Being a dead head has its advantages, I was not afraid of skulls at all, nor a single dose of LSD.

The trip worked out quite well from there. Fixed the plumbing and got back to the party and everything was good.

I spent almost 6 years in prison and this dose was about half way through my sentence.

I've gotten weed and doses (undetected) into a number of county jails over the years and most people enjoyed them as much in jail as they would have outside. Maybe even more, since it's nice, as they say, to be able to take a trip without ever having to leave the farm...

Very helpful post.
 
Haha its fun you should mention that, I tripped LSD and got held in a drunk tank for 28ish hours it wasn't the worse trip I ever had but the lack of mat really makes one uncomfortable normally let alone when I was tripping. It was a pretty nice does 3 tabs. I remember thinking though if I ever went to Jail long term I think I could handle solitary and being in a constant trip state my entire sentence lol call me crazy.

Also look into isolation tanks those things can actually make for some very introspective trips. ( Kinda like a box but with water inside)

I've heard about isolation tanks. Joe Rogan swears by that shit.
 
Sadly I have yet to indulge in that. Hopefully one day with high doses of mushrooms. They give me wild sythesthesia so isolation would be a nice counter balance.

I've never experienced Sythesthesia, except with smells and people/experiences and stuff like that.
 
Tripping in a box? Would be conked off your mind on amphetamines, benzos and opiates in an aeroplane count? Honestly I have to say that was one of the FUNNEST experiences in my life. I really don't suggest it to anyone though. I kept compulsively redosing oxycodone during my 10 hour flight to Cuba while being tweaked off my tits on amphetamine. I'm talking guerning all over the place, freaky kind of high. I got into the plane - and luckily was in first class so the stewardess sort of allowed me through but I'm sure she knew I was out of it. I got in, tried to sit down and still in my seat but no way was that happening. I proceeded to down 2mg of Xanax and a 10mg Valium to try and calm me down. It did to some extent - but I was definitely still tweaking. As we were taking off - I literally thought my heart would explode from the sudden speed change and my body full of amphetamines. Anyway, we're climbing higher and higher and it seems like both of the drugs seem to be kicking me in the face a lot harder, like one minute I'd be super tweaked, the next zombified. Then I added some oxycodone to the mix, and oh boy, did that add to the euphoria. I was already pretty damn euphoric but I had no idea I could experience it in this way. It kicked in really quick and stopped me from tweaking so hard but that opiate warmth and euphoria was intense. Super intense. I melted into my seat for the next 2 hours watching some really crappy film before passing the hell out and waking up in Cuba. Man, that opiate feel was mad. I think the mix of three was what really made it.

Not exactly a prison, but still. I've repeated this experience numerous times since but only with oxycodone and its never been as intense. It's still been lovely, but I usually fall asleep.

That sounds terrible. I don't like amphetamines... They make people weird.
 
i had to come down from 25i and meth in jail holding for 2 hours once before i was bailed out, it was just boring, a bit nerve wrecking especially being my first arrest and the warrant was served 9 months after the offense so i didn't see it coming at all. was arrested at my home.

That sounds terrible. You probably came up in book-in.
 
been locked up a couple of times high it makes it more fun some thing to do in the cell :) full blow stim psychosis can be fun when you get taken in for something you have not done and you are all ready fighting shadow people making for a fun night really was people walking through the cell door standing outside shouting at me weird stuff
 
HAHAHAHA LOL.....while the idea of you tripping in jail amuses me to no end i think you would be better just bringing in some benzos or opiates because they would come in much handier in that kind of miserable situation.....although, i have had friends who would sneek tweek in when they went and swore by it(no i am not going to tell you how so don't ask....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

EDIT:IF one could get benzos or opiates in jail you would have a heck of a bartering tool those things are worth a shit load a noodles or trays.....but FYI don't ever take drugs from people in jail they might be snitches and if not always remember you get NOTHING and i repeat NOTHING for free ever in jail....period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1%)<3
 
I had my first acid trip ever in prison in 1989 or 1990.
Had never even seen a blotter before but my mate had weekend home leave as he was near end of his sentence.
When at home he posted me a letter and hid the blotter under the envelope seal as the screws always cut the letters open at the top so they didn't find it.
I looked at a small square piece of blue blotting paper & thought this can't do anything.
Anyway once we were banged up for the night I put it in my mouth & chewed it.
Within an hour I felt really strange and spent most of the night feeling paranoid thinking the Dj on the radio was talking about me constantly and I thought I could hear the screws outside my cell getting ready to come in and get me. Not nice for my first experience of acid but I've had great times with it since then.
