How to find tripping buddies?

[Jayman]

As the title implies, I am finding it very difficult to find anyone to have and share the psychedelic experience with anymore. Amongst a world filled with ever increasing hedonistic drug users , opioids amphetamines cocaine, the occurrence of someone wanting to sit back with and expand ones mind is ever decreasing. It has been a number of years since I have found even someone wanting to do MDMA. I have been using the mind-numbing drugs for a few years myself, mainly opioids, and also am finding difficulty aquiring a taste for psychedelia again. Which is distressing to me for the fact that I am who I am because of my experiences with MDMA and psychedelics , I love the multi faceted perceptions I was allowed to assimilate to my personality. Without those types of drugs I would be a close minded fool.

Has anyone had this same trouble in finding partners?

And also with converting back from just pleasure drugs to enlightenment type ones?

it can be tough finding like minded people, but this depends on what kind of person you are in the first place... hang about druggy places you will meet druggy people. hang about druggy hippy places and you re bound to find someone you may like

Well enough put but I am unsure of what a hippy druggy place would be... the last place I could even partialy relate to that would have been highschool... that was over 7 years ago

 

[kingme]

well there are usually parites with specific music that attent to this particular scene... though to be honest id rather meet people at festivals... a better crowd and the atmosphere is more chill..

try to find like minded friends first, not directly trip partners

You could go through dozens of tripping partners and not really meet someone who's suited to call a close friend. Like kingme suggests, I would try to just make friends in general first, and when you find people you get along with, turn them on to psychedelics. That's what I do and it's been much more meaningful than just finding people who like to trip.

Yea, I think that was my methodology I used back in the day. Befriend someone then inform them on the great wonders of tripping as well as all possible negative sife effects. A total objective and my subjective opinion of the experience. I havent really sought out friends after a near psychotic break involving a male friend a female girlfriend and MDMA DXM , cannabis and ether. Alot of betrayal from two people I would have done just about anything for. To not know whether I am just delusional or that everything that I suspect plus more is real .... can really throw someone off.

IME it's best to trip with people who you are friends with for reasons other than just drug buddies. I always found it awkward tripping with ppl I didn't relate to outside of the drug scene. Try to establish a real friendship first.

i would vote that mdma falls into the class of hedonistic drugs. hallucinogens however, are more like a chore or challenge that a hedonistic experience, and there aren't many people intelligent enough, fearless enough, and openminded enough to engage in tripping. I know its tough, I mostly trip alone myself, its just how it is.

i went through the same phase as you....psychedelics, to opiates, and almost ten years after doing opiates, back to psychedelics. It has been though in the sense that psychedelics can never fill the role of opiates. That relief, escape, and daily useability just isn't there. But coming back to psychs has caused me to "reawaken" and evaluate everything about myself and life once again, and actually make me become disgusted with opiates and guilty about abusing them.

Maybe try dissociatives? they are more of an everyday abusable type drug (like opiates) but with a psychedelic edge. but serotonergics will always make you straighten up
