Carelessness While Tripping

Is it common for you to do careless and/or stupid things while tripping? I know it's hard to generalize about psychedelics because they're all different, but for the sake of simplification lets limit our discussion to acid and mushrooms. Are you likely to do something careless that could cause damage or bodily harm? I ask because I have a lot of expensive shit in my room, and I would be very sad if I destroyed any of it while tripping.

Another tangentially related question; is it necessary for someone to watch over you for the whole duration of the trip? I've heard an acid trip can last up to 12 hours - who's gonna want to hang around with you for 12 hours while you're tripping? Would it be sufficient for them to stick around for a couple hours or until you seem to be content in staring at something and then leave?
 
The most destructive thing i think i've done on acid is dropping a glass, and i had no trouble dealing with the problem, though it was a bit of a buzzkill.

Personally i wouldn't want someone watching over me for the full duration of a trip, but rather someone who i could call on if things started going badly, and who wouldn't be offended if i wanted to get lost in my own thoughts and act like they weren't there.
 
I don't think I've ever done anything too destructive whilst tripping. Nothing more than a very minor injury.

The first time I did shrooms I ate 2 grams with no babysitter, just my family in the house, haha. But I didn't think it was necessary for a sitter. I don't even see how people have bad trips; when I trip I let the bad thoughts flow in, but I realize they are just thoughts and I don't let them bug me. I feel like without people around, I can really feel the effects of the drug. But if you feel like you'd be safest with a sitter then don't hesitate to find one.
 
only thing i can remember was bumping into somebody who stepped back as i was walking along a busstop on the sidewalk
 
my and my friends have been abit careless on it, but we imo you still know not to break things you like, you still do have some control in that state.
 
on mushrooms: got into a rather destructive vibe. i unscrewed a lightbulb, called over a housemate. when he walked up the stairs towards me, i threw the lightbulb against a wall, scaring him senseless (he didn't know i had it in my hands)

walking into a supermarket, yelling at the cashier 'I AM HERE TO BUY SOME OF YOUR PRODUCTS' upon entering

after that i retreated into a one-hour curled up nightmare, where i analyzed the consequences of my sometimes destructive/'trollish' behaviour in real life...

ahh yes... the mushrooms :)
 
Mushrooms are something else ill tell you that for sure. I havent had any luck enjoying them, never had a babysitter and never babysat anybody but i sure wish we wouldve done that. I probly wouldnt have a couple of scars that are reminders of how stupid i was
 
On a large dose of 2C-E + Caffeine when I had severe vasoconstriction I was tempted to buy and take MDMA (since I've never tried it before), even though I knew the vasoconstriction could hospitalise me or worse. Thankfully I didn't, but I'd say that's the most careless I've been while tripping - I know if I knew for sure the guy I suspected was selling actually was, that I'd have bought and taken some.
 
Hmm, I tend to be more carefree then careless....It often strikes me as a good idea to turn an old pair of pants into a groovy, fluro pair of shorts, and I've shaved my head and various symbols into it many time when tripping....Also, drawing on my old car (in fact, me and my friends did a rather ornate peace sign on the white bonnet)....

I never feel careless, in a destructive sense. I've thrown away money and other "useless" items (a watch, sunglasses) mainly because none of the items really made sense any longer but I've never wanted to damage something just for fun. I recall a group of my old friends who decided that breaking plates was the height of hilarity; just frisbeeing dinner plates around- I find it pretty weird, and just left the party.

Really though, its not as if you simply lose control over yourself; if anything, you may just be a bit more impulsive and les inhibited, but if you are intelligent enough, you will know where to draw the line.

Regarding trip sitters; being with someone who is tripping (and you are not) can be quite fun, as long as you are willing to tolerate a degree of oddity; you can really help them with their experience. Personally, I find that people lose a degree of trust in people who are tripping, and this makes me paranoid; I only either trip by myself, with Miss Willow (who genrally doesn't trip) or with a group of psychedelisised people.
 
Hmm... can't remember breaking anything.
A really crappy lamp broke once but don't think it had so much to do with us tripping. ( crappy quality )
Oooh i may have chewed on some pencils.
So nothing serious.

But i never had a really bad trip, a bit negative perhaps but never freaked out or anything.
And if your trip go down a bad path and you freak out you might break everything you have or you just cry in the shower.

But don't think it's so common to break your stuff.
 
I think you`ll be fine! The first time I tripped I only spent the first 3 hours with a friend then went home thinking that the trip would be over in an hour or so(I`m not sure what led me to think this other than being my first time/being 17/no internet to get info). So I came home and hung out in my room high as shit for the next 9 or 10 hours. I didn`t break anything or act outlandish.I just watched tv,listened to music and got lost in my thoughts. Sure, I had a hellishly introspective 4 hours when I made the mistake thinking that bong hits would calm me down but I never broke anything or thought I needed a sitter.
 
If you're intoxicated enough that you won't be able to handle something without breaking it, you'll have the sense not to touch it. That's just how psychedelics work. Kinda nifty.
 
I once thought I was god and could heal the sick and give back life. Trying to prove it I started chasing my friend with a kitchenknife, cutting... nah just kidding. I have never done anything stupid on drugs. I actually met a girl who had a mental brakedown. I didn't know her and she was sober (met her on the streets). I was on mushrooms and had to pull myself together and act mental support. Weird acting tripsitter for a random stranger when your tripping balls. But it went well. Never seen her after that.
 
Worst I ever did was tresspass through some inn's grounds or some shit on acid. The old hick owner came out bitching at us, and while my friends were apparantly in the mood to stay and hear this guy's concerns out, I wasn't particularly feeling like getting bitched at by some little impish creature so I called back to him "well we didn't kill anyone so we'll be on our way." as I left and my friends fortunately followed.
 
I talked friends into dropping me at my place to grab a bottle of whiskey even tho we had plenty of drink already & i was on 3 hits of acid.

I went upstairs, changed my shoes, came back & dropped the bottle before i got back to the car... I'nm just glad my friend saw me drop it otherwise i was afraid the'yd think there was no bottle!

Best idea

i don't personally get careless or confused on lsd unless i want to be confused...it is common for most of my friends to be completely out of it,
 
I've taken up to 500 mics of lucy on one trip and stayed relatively responsible. My family couldn't even tell I was high, though they missed me peaking. During the peak I laid incapacitated upon a secluded park bench smiling up at the skies and clouds, very transparent I was having a good time. I fell INTO the sky if that make any sense, you know when dimensions no longer make any visual sense? The word "what" gets only so far as "whaaa ..... ??" I hope the few people who saw me just thought I was slightly eccentric.

I cried in public on 4-aco-dmt, but no one was around to hear me, they were tears of joy no worries.

I have done some embarrassing shit while high on ecstasy, and also whenever I smoke pot.

I read into a situation which didn't really exist, convinced myself that the girl who lives next door to me was in love with me. I knocked on her door and asked if she wanted to see a movie with me and she gave some polite excuse and spared me any shame, been avoiding her ever since. She turned out to be in her late 20s, *maybe* early 30s. I am around 21 years of age:)

Still love that girl though:)
