I was reading a bunch of trip reports on erowid and it got me curious how many people go out there and do certain everyday tasks while tripping, like washing your car or going to the store.

I also want to hear the stories where people had to do these tasks unintentionally, such as being told to do something by a parent while you were tripping or something :P
 
Eh well it's probably best to trip when you've organized your time so as not to have to deal with everyday chores and you have a window of peace to trip in which one will not be disturbed. But as we all know, urges arise. Such as gummy worms or glowsticks. and in these cases, going to the store can bve an adventure. But having to do things while tripping because there will be concequences if not can spawn unwanted anxieties.

And of course it's all relative to how hard one is tripping. a ++ trip can be controlled in public with relative ease and experience, but paying for articles while communing with god as it manifists itself as the lottery tickets at the cash-out counter can cause some questions to be raised.

I know haha. I don't intend to do anything when I trip. I was just curious about how it went for those of you who have had to do stuff.
 
I find being in any public situation (not necessarily a chore or anything, just with people who aren't tripping and don't know you're tripping) can be fucking crazy enough at times
 
The candy aisle at the grocery store is fucken AWESOME when you're on LSD. Oh, the colors! :D

But aside from a walk down the street to get some candy and juice, I try to stay out of the public when I'm tripping. There are so many variables outside of your control, you just never know whats going to happen.
 
Way back when in high school I was a delivery driver at a local chinese restaurant (one of the few non-Chinese to work in a Chinese restaurant, I think).

Anyway, it was Sunday, and my day off. So, I decided to gobble a 1/8 of shrooms with some friends of mine at about 1pm.

Lo and behold, come 5pm (the time the restaurant opens for dinner) my boss is calling my phone non stop. Eventually I answer the phone and she's freaking out because my buddy didn't show up for work (we rotated slow days and both worked fri/sat). I call him and he's like- sorry dude, I am fucking drunk right now, I can't work. Asshole.

So at about 6pm I go in.

I thought, 5 hrs after dropping I was ok. Boy was I wrong. I was going in and out of tripping balls.

Standing in the kitchen I thought I could understand my boss and the cooks yelling at each other in Mandarin (I couldn't).

Finally, they send me out on my 1st delivery. I pull up to address, only two find 3 police squad cars with the lights flashing parked directly in front of the house I'm bringing the food to!

So, tripping harder than ever, I freak out and pull around the corner and park. Then I come walkin' up the street with the food to deliver. Cops were there for a domestic disturbance across the street. Can only imagine how suspicious it looked to see some pimply white boy come walkin' up the street with an armful of chinese food (we used cardboard boxes, not bags). People who ordered must have thought the same- as they were outside watching the cops when I came with the food.

To this day I still can't figure out why I parked around the corner. lol.
 
Back when i was doing alot of acid, about a year ago I'd trip and live a normal life. I always perfered to drop at night though so most of my daily tasks were done. Ive gone shopping on acid, talked to my parents, even ate dinner with my parents.

I guess im lucky though acid and i have found a unique place together. I've been asked many times if im even tripping because of how normal i act. I love being out in public tripping and acting normal. If i have no reason to go out ill at least get a pack of cigs. I love being in stores and what not like that "i know something no one else does" thing.

I tried to do it with my cousin but he freaked out. Ended up going behind the stop and shop giving me money to get him cigs acting all sketchy. I tried explaining to him that if he just stops thinking people know no one will but giving me money behind the store people will think hes getting crack.

I've done it all on acid. Talked to the parents, went shopping, drove (definately not recommended), been questioned by the police, went to the ghetto, ect. Like i said i dont recommend doing any of these things acid and i just go together, its more like a really really trippy weed for me haha.
 
^I'm in the same boat szuko.

Actually just this past monday I watched the FSU vs UM game at a friends house with about 15 close friends there and none but 2 knew I was tripping the entire time. I used to actually go to class and take tests on acid, study on acid, and pass with good grades too ;) I just recently came into some again and love being on it whenever i'm not at work. That's the only thing I won't do tripping...work. That sounds like such a waste, especially in my line of work.

I wish I had enough to last me the rest of my life, because if I had enough i'd even go to work on it, it makes things just that much more interesting..
 
A time that stands out was going to the corner store to get water, gum, candy, and who knows what @ T + 3:00:00 into 30 mg 2cb HBr. Everything was well but I'm sure the clerk heard a bunch of "ooh's", "aah's", and "whoa's" from the participants. After all, flouro lighting, shiny racks, and colored packaging is entrancing in such a state. The participants thought they were keeping it together fairly well but when checking out, were treated to a light show by the clerk.
Apparently, huge pupils, bloodshot eyes, giggles, and the overall demeanor of 5 year olds on a school outing was enough to prompt the clerk to shine the red laser from the check out scanner onto the assorted crap addorning the store counter. One item was a candy-filled disco ball. As he was doing the light show he was also doing the whole techno-beatbox thing like "Duh-ts Duh-ts Doof Doof Doof" To make it funnier the clerk was in his late 30's, really clean cut wearing a crucifix.
 
I went for a walk down to the store one time on 1 hit of blotter.. it was a mild dose, so it was nothing too bad.

Also hopped on a bus and went to the zoo on 2 drops of liquid (through the city.. what a horrible sight). I didn't end up paying for the bus.. i was too disorientated to understand what i was expected to do.. for some reason they let me pass.. i guess i looked too 'intoxicated' for them to want to make an issue out of it lol.

Also driven a few times while coming down off liquid.. every car looked lie 2d cardboard cutouts.. not the best idea, but i think everyone does there stupid little stunts on drugs at some point in there life.
 
7 years ago when i bought my first gram of 2c-i i did just about everything on it.
Go to school, work, talk to parents, etc.

I had become very accustomed to the effects of 2ci by that time and felt quite comfortable doing it in any situation.

i would have a bit more trouble pulling something lik that off on a headier psychedelic like mushrooms.
 
Haha great stories :)

I personally have never done a psychedelic (plan to very soon!) but have had a few visuals caused by weed + MDMA.

I wish I could get that comfortable mindset with drugs. I always feel like it's a ritual taking anything, focusing primarily on the substance and how it effects me before I can enjoy the world. I smoked weed for roughly two years and never surpassed that mentality.

I know what you mean about it all being mental when someone is freaking out in public, thinking everybody knows... but for less experienced trippers, or those who do not usually trip in public settings, it is very difficult for them to act like nothing is happening when they're actually in another world, so to speak. In many cases, I agree nobody will know if you just go about your business.

However, I disagree when being around people who are actually trying to communicate with you... ESPECIALLY in an interrogative way like the police or some parents would. I know when I was younger, I could NEVER get away with eating dinner alongside my strict parents while tripping. Luckily never had to talk to the police, but I am sure I would not be able to handle it...

A big reason for this is... the DILATED PUPILS!! Even when I am on the gradual comedown of most trips (especially LSD), and do not feel all that warped-- if anything feeling sober compared to the earlier peak-- my pupils are still HUGE! And they remain so for quite some time.

People who feel like they are in any position to notice something like that will wonder or even confront someone about their giant, gaping pupils... particularly the police, they are explicitly TRAINED to... but in any case pupils are the giveaway. The pupils are also a big reason WHY people feel so sketchy in public... since they are tripping they let that image of themselves get in their head and freak out. That is why if I have to go out I try not to look in the mirror as that will make the mental aspect of shadyness even worse.

Theres my 2 cents!
 
It all depends on the substance as well as how experienced you are with the substance. I feel very comfortable on 2c-b almost anywhere in public, usually at doses of 40+mg sometimes 60+. However, I have tripped hundreds of times on 2c-b alone, so i consider myself extremely experienced with the substance. 2c-b also seems to make everything seem "fake", even in the higher doses i realize im on a drug and can attribute all sensory distortions to the drug and not to my external reality.
 
Yes it depends on experience, when I have enough with a substance I can use it with everyday tasks, actual responsibilities need to be postpones but otherwise I very much enjoy doing 'the little things' while tripping. Because everyday stuff you can do pretty meditative, which is a great time for psychedelics! :D
 
Ah now i feel the need to say my eyes are so brown they are almost black. Everyone goes "and your lucky because unless you shine a light into them you cant see your pupils." So am i made to take acid or what? haha. I give you that that is the main reason for my comfort level, no not even my parents or the police would notice and if they did its my alergy meds.
