Casual tripping

[NexusRex]

Quite possibly my favorite thing to do on psychedelics is visit my local art museum. Seeing Van Gogh's starry night melt off the wall was very interesting. Modern art is wonderful, as well as graffiti art. Although nothing will rival being at a Willy Nelson show, and witnessing not one or two but 15 drunk rednecks break out into an all out brawl in front of me. Needless to say i was overtaken by laughter immediatly

every car looked lie 2d cardboard cutouts...

I know EXACTLY what you mean Sometimes I get that when sober.

I always plan my trips to be pretty much undisturbed by anyone not tripping. I've been out to rock gigs and stuff without any problems, strangers are fine, I just don't really like tripping while hanging out with groups of friends who aren't, especially if they don't know what it's like. Maybe it's just being self-concious.

The size of your pupils is one thing but if you're acting like all hell broke loose around you people might still tell
I don't have to worry about stuff like teachers or parents so when I'm clear of responsibilities I can go about my daily business and everyone can know what I took. My housemates should be used to it by now :D Despite my major flipping episode one time : X

ive wandered around in a dollar general on a hit or two looking for bandages for my friends foot that he cut while we were camping....

the consumerism kind of had me chilling outside smoking cigarettes for the majority of the time....

going for car rides are fun on acid, assuming you have someone sober to drive you around....

done waffle house on mushrooms.

done waffle house on molly.

Watched movies with my parents while on ~20mg 2c-b oral or equivilent for whatever ROA....

Smoked a cigarette with my mom while on like 3 hits of acid....

I once held a basic conversation with a drunk sibling while comming down from a sub breaththrough dose of DMT... Just had to keep myself from drooling and tell her that i had not been burning plastic....

I don't do it as much as I used to but I quite like wandering around and interacting with straight people when tripping on most thing - usually nothing too heavy or high-dose though

Acid's probably my favourite for this with (most of) the 2Cs a not-too-distant second. Mushrooms I have trouble keeping it together on so only publicly dose those in a suitable environment where trippers attract no undue attention.

I thought 2C-E would be hard to deal with people on too but I was forced to deal with two rather angry young men trying to rob me and then with the police after plugging 10mg of it a while back. Was actually a lot easier than I would have thought, but still wouldn't recommend it :D

Ketamine is probably one of the hardest to deal with people on so generally don't. Although it can be fun too

A similar topic came up in EADD recently...

It's not so much the pupils that give me away it's more the faraway face, dreamy look and vacant stare that does it. Pulling out a handful of change to pay for something in a shop and spending what seems like and age staring at the contents of my hand only to realise there's a load of weed, pills and so forth mixed up in them is also a common occurance

Fortunately, the shopfolks round here are used to my odd lil ways and don't say anything. I did some shopping whilst so fucked on ket and guice recently and spent so long staring and the alien contents I dredged up from a pocket that the woman just smiled sweetly, said "Would you like me to help you with that?" and took the relevant bits from my hand for me

I barely made it back home before passing out either. Didn't think it would be possible to fall down a guicy k-hole whilst walking down the street but it really is

I've gone shopping in a store while gurning really hard on some great rolls.

I walked up to the cash register holding in the urge to munch on my face until I couldn't take it anymore and just did this huge gurning explosion. I realized what I was doing, my face shot back into position, and I paid for the vitamin water I was buying. The bagboy, I shit you not, winked and said "there's a Party City" across the street, bro"

(For those who may not know, Party City is just a large store that sells party supplies like glowsticks, candy, balloons, etc.)

^^ haha, love that place...

Went in there looking for halloween stuff....

going as a hardcore zombie raver kid to whatever halloween rave is on that day....

They have everything i need as far as latex wounds and makeup to make it look good....

 

[Newbierock]

antimoog your like me a few years ago hah.

One time we went to tesco just before coming up to get some supplies (gum, water all that crap) before we went to a friends house. About 5 hours later were still powering around tesco =/

i knew kids who would come to school on dxm everyday. but that stuffs not for me...........last time i tripped morning glory i drove around for so fuckin long w/ a freind my eyes were crosseyed and i felt like absolute shit.
it was fun but i should have taken it easier that weekend and just posted up somewere,
i talk to my dad while trippin all the time and he cant tell, exept for my pupils and shit like that.

all time favorite was when i went to ethics class while coming down from a tripp, it was very enlighning as we talked about various topics.

 

[Gormur]

yea last year not one day went by when i wasn't blazed or frying sid all day long, driving to work, playing a gig, teaching a class and doing the everyday slave-along humdrum of societal living. but like others have said, you get used to being fucked up all the time and build a sort of mental tolerance...

having said that, it's harder coping with sobriety than most any drug for me, but that's another topic for another day i suppose....

happy tripping

i used to do dxm everyday, so i would end up going about my day tripping everyday, including psychiatrist appointments. in the morning i'd still be tripping until around noon. he would always ask me if i'd been doing cocaine.
i also used to go to work at target on second plateau doses, then when i started my career as a criminal i'd hustle on 2nd plateau doses. i went to my straight edge girlfriends prom on a half eighth of mushrooms (she didn't notice.)

doing everyday stuff sucks on non-dissasociative psychedelics though, i start thinking to fast and get paranoid.

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

Could there be something more in this? I mean, we always hear that only 10% of what we say is in the actual words, maybe you were understanding a lot of what they said by picking up on their body language and unintentional cues etc, more so than when sober? I'd love to see some studies or something on this becuase it sound sincredibly interesting...

Now, my story is:

First time I had a proper trip I'd gone to my parents house becuase they were away and I wanted to hang out with their dogs while tripping... So had about 30mg 4-aco-dmt and some weed... was laying in the lounge room listening to pink floyd up full blast and the fucking front door opens! And in comes the german girl that had been staying with them who I totally forgot about! and her 3 friends! So I had these 4 german girls looking at me and i'm like WHAAAAAAAA in my head... anyway I didn't really say anything and they went and sat down in a separate part of the house, then the main one decided to come and have a mssive chat to me and I had to try and hold myself together for like half an hour (or so it seemed).

I Told her that i'd been smoking weed thats why I was acting a bit strange.. her having never had it before thankfully meant that she believed me... I think!

It was touch and go for a while there though

shit i know what you mean about thinking too fast without anything feeding your brain... for me at least it's that whole ADD dyslexia thing going on so my mind is racing like a motherfucker without anything.. it really sucks, wish i could slow it down without drugs but i don't think that will ever be possible. - meditation and exercise help with restlessness, but not fatigue and learning problems

btw i went to my psych after i'd just plugged a bunch of cocaine. he didn't seem to suspect anything, except he commented about how calm and collected i was at the time %)

that's the thing tho.. when people like me are on drugs no one suspects a thing and actually seem to think everything is going great for us, since we operate on a better level at this point while without the drugs, we're a complete and utter mess

 

[antimoog]

It's hard for me to enjoy weed a lot of the time. I get massive anxiety. But I've never really smoked in a good setting. I'd gone from like, at my house with my best friends, getting paranoid because it's at my house, to smoking in a great environment but with people I was really uncomfortable around.

Alright I'll throw my hat into the ring. So the first time I took acid, I was a sophmore in highschool. I had taken it about midnight the night before, 2 moderate hits. I was by myself and really just ended up wasting it sitting at my computer and watching movies, and after about 6 hours I felt pretty much done with the experience feeling like I jipped myself. that morning around 9 a.m. as I was getting ready for school, I noticed how magnificent and beautiful the mist in the trees was as I was walking to my car. I thought it was a nice after glow until I stopped at a Sonic to get a drink, and it hit me in a wave. I literally forgot how to talk, I couldn't figure out how to pay for my drink so just ended up giving the girl a 10 and to keep the rest. I got this unbelievable anxiety that I was going to be late for school, so I made my way there, all the while staring at my speedometer and glancing around like a tweak at the now monster truck sized cars all around me. By the time I got to first period, everyone around me sounded like a riot was going on, it was extremely intense, and this lasted untill about 11 a.m. So all in all, it was a pretty fun trip looking back on it...
