Tripping with parent/s?

Anyone ever done something like this? How was it like? How did you convince them?

I've been thinking about it but have no idea how to even start that particular conversations (hard mode - neither are all that pro drug including the legal ones) and would it even be safe for them (both healthy and around 60 years old)? I guess I'd like to show them what psys can offer.

I was considering a lowish dose of some of the more benign substances and having some benzos on hand just incase.
 
I think my mum would benefit from it greatly. However I think the likelyhood is zero.
 
Yes, I'd love to share this experience with them but convincing them to want to try.... I have no idea how to even begin.
 
Also my mum has struggled with depression in the past - I wonder if she would freak herself out...
 
I have no idea (tho I don't think my mom has problems with depression), that's why I would pick compounds that I feel have the smallest chance of causing bad trips and/or physical discomfort, start low and have some benzos on hand just in case. And of course we would talk about what to expect before even touching anything and I would be there to provide support.

Would really love the input of people who have done it especially if it was the parents first time using psys...
 
Was it your or his idea? Are you otherwise open to drug use (I guess since you're on bluelight but still)? Was it a positive experience?
 
Do they know you use drugs? And how do they feel about that? They may not be pro-drugs, but if they're okay with you using you might have a chance. If not, I wouldn't even bother because that'd probably only be asking for trouble. Keep in mind though that you're the only one here who knows your parents.
My strategy would be to slide in the subject (subtly ofcourse, not dropping "hey mom, dad, wanna do some LSD with me?" out of nowhere) when you're all drinking. I remember half my family talking about their experiences with weed during a drunken Christmas dinner, ghehe. Everyone gets looser on alcohol and that'll certainly help with your issue.
 
My parents very rarely drink beyond more than 2 or 3 glasses of wine, and always together. There is certainly no way that my dad would ever consider doing anything illegal because he works in a sensitive job and is extremely anti drugs in general.
I think my mum might be more receptive but I have no idea how to broach the subject without the social dynamic instantly shifting from adult-adult to parent-son.
 
There is absolutely zero chance of me even convincing my parents of taking a puff off of a joint, let alone trying a psychedelic.
I still have to hide my very occasional pot smoking from them; only because they are paying my tuition and dorm fees, they wouldn't cut payments but its just easier this way

Ummm I guess it was mine... I had already had one at a party with friends, and it got very cold, and he was out delivering pizzas. I was with a group of friends that had I had met when I took him out pubbing for his 18th birthday. On that night we had taken some pills and not shared nor even told him we were on them.
So I texted him and asked him to come and drop my jacket off to me when he finished work, and when he arrived one of my friends mentioned that we were all on pills last time they met him, and he joked , "you buggers never gave me one"
So I felt bad afyer he left and called him back and gave him one, telling him what to expect etc, and supervised till it kicked in, at which time he spewed :P. After it peaked he wanted to go home as was over hanging with a bunch of mostly older folks and so went home but then he wished he had of stayed.

He had tripped several times before this with his mates, but this was his first 2cb experience and he loved it, wanted to get some for his mates the following weekend. He would tell me when he was going tripping and at first I was uneasy, but I see so many kids his age getting fucked up on grog, in fights, being total dicks, I think I would rather he took acid.
I have quite an open relationship with him in regards to drugs, and we discuss them. Well, I spose it got down to him seeing me up for several days from time to time... sort of gave it away.

They are against what they consider hard drugs (opiates, cocaine, heavy drinking) which I don't really do other than the occasional drink too many (too many as in walking around wobbly not lying in my own vomit) and some benzos/ghb every so often. They are ok with social alcohol use and mom is ok with smoking (I guess considering she smokes) and sometimes takes a benzo or two (not recreationally, she has a fear of flying and they really help her with that) maybe once or twice per year. Don't know how they'd feel about me smoking since I don't (never got the point of it really). They also sometimes joke about MJ and think that I smoke it occasionally ( I don't because I don't like the effects). We've never really discussed psychedelics in any great depth so I really don't know what they think about them. I was thinking about a strategy similar to yours - start discussing the subject, at first more in general, later about trying them. Maybe even give them some research to read/watch. And see what happens.

Luckily neither of my parents jobs do drug testing (not really a big thing in Europe), so we're safe on that front.

It is weird, really weird... but I'd like to share such a wonderful experience with the people I love.

Wow, you're a cool dad man. Hope I have a similar relationship with my kids.
 
Maybe going on a trip to Amsterdam (shouldn't be too expensive at least for us Europeans)... truffles are still legal there....
 
My mum and I talked about it before. She has taken a smoke of ganja from time to time and taken her fair shair of rx drugs.

Getting my mum to take a load off and smoke isn't easy but I know it helps her. I usually just set up a nice atmosphere if I want to use with mum. She always gravitates to her pills, but its a start.

We have talked about shrooms and X and she is interested. I guess she wants the setting to be right and not have a lot of shit going on in her life. I sure don't want her to have a bad trip.

I guess setting would be key when turning your parents on to the joys of good drugs. I know mum will drop some shrooms with me, but it will probly be on holiday at a nice outside spot.
 
I've thought about this, and would love to do it. I've also talked to my grandfather (who I'm very close with) and he's expressed interest, although I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with that because he's 74. The psyche that I would want to do with parents is mushrooms


I opened by talking to them about psychedelic use and trying to get them to see the beneficial and spiritual side of it, but they not only rejected it but became very worried about me and still occasionally try to bring it up with me, telling me that they aren't comfortable with me using these substances and such.

Now, while I imagine that I'm much younger than you are OP, and still am in high school/largely dependent on my parents, I would make sure that your parents are very open minded before trying to have this talk. I thought my parents to be fairly open minded but the talk still backfired.
I'm going to have to tread pretty carefully while using drugs in the future, as my parents are keeping a fairly watchful eye on me. I've got mushrooms and baby woodrose seeds in my room, but now I have to wait until my parents go to bed because they check on me.

I think that with a good set/setting, a sitter she trusts (you), not doing heroic doses and having a few benzos just incase (don't even have to eat them just knowing they are there helps) you would lower the chances of a bad trip considerably... or use some think like 2c-c or 4-ho-met that's even less likely to cause bad trips (if she's open to rcs).

I'm not a doctor so it's probably best to confirm this with one, but if he's otherwise healthy and you don't pick one of the stimmier psys he should be ok.

And I definitely agree on the whole open mindedness. The reason I'm even thinking about this is to show them a nice experience not to cause fights in the family. This is why if I proceed with this plan I will definitely do it slowly, presen as much literature as possible. and judge their responses every step. And if they decide they don't want to try, well that's also a valid choice, right? Especially if it's an informed one and not based on propaganda from mainstream media.
