How to make friends and meet people in Psychs.

Hey all,

I have lived in Ireland for over 2 years now, but still have had major trouble finding and making friends with the same "interests" as I do ;)

I was wondering if anyone else has been in the same kind of situation, having left there old crew and moving to a new location, and how you would go about meeting people who would be into taking LSD for example.

Do you think it is something you can be pretty open about this day and age? I normally keep that side of my life pretty hidden, as I have a decent job I want to keep and stuff like that, and people are generally not enlightened about such things and still buy into government propaganda BS etc.

Even going to a music festival here in Ireland didn't seem like the place to me. It was more full of teenager's than anything else.

Any thoughts and ideas welcomed :)
 
Go to Socrates Cafe style discussion groups just to meet the open minded in general. I'd much rather make a friend then bring up psychedelics, rather than make a friend *for* psychedelics.
 
I'm normally around Cork.

Yeah I will try the EADD I guess... not really found too many threads around there that really perked my interest tho to be perfectly honest.

I have no problem making friends, and I have a lot of friends. None of them are really into tripping and stuff tho, and I'm not going to like be an LSD poster boy and try and promote it to them, they need to come to that decision themselves. Would be nice to have people to trip with tho.
 
Well, there are plenty of Irish peeps who post regularly in the EADD acid thread and they ain't teenagers so there are certainly like-minded folk about the place. BL is not a dealers social network site so cannot help in that area, but you can get an idea of the events where such things may be available near you and what kind of atmosphere and people are likely to be there which may help.

Also, agreed on the psytrance thing - if you can't score there you really are in trouble :D
 
Well this may not appeal to you, but here's a magickal method for inducing social synchronicity:

Write a letter humbly requesting a psychedelic buddy, with some general reasons why you deserve one. Address the letter simply to 'Them'. Drop it off in a post-office box. Wait.

I did this 5 years ago.

2 weeks after I "mailed" the letter, I met the best friend of my life...

It's worth a try... ;)
 
Oh I have no problem scoring, I am not trying to source at all. I travel for my shit and have no problem doing so....

That letter idea is... interesting... I might have to try it just for a crack.

Psy trance eh? Never heard of it... I am more of a guitar playing rock n roller... might not be my scene :)
 
Half the people that go to psytrance nights probably wouldn't ever listen to it any other time really - they're just really friendly parties with a far wider range of people attending than most other scenes. You're more likely to meet a loved-up old hippy than a tweaked-out knife-wielding chav. And the drugs are always abundant and top-notch too which helps :D

I do like the letter idea myself. Have seen articles and stuff on it (think it was being called "Guerilla Graffiti" or similar in the media but fuck knows why). If you're a member of your local library then maybe take out a few Tim Leary books or the like and slip your letter between the pages when you return it - or just leave the letters and don't take the books out. More chance of getting a suitable "hit" I'd think. Nice idea that. Shame I live in such a tiny place I'd know anybody that picked such a thing up already.
 
Check out the rave scene. Its a lot of fun, you can be into any kind of music and still get into it, theres a lot of variety. You'll definitely be able to find others into psychedelics and there seem to be a lot of good hearted people (in our scene at least).
 
Fair enough. I didn't mean to imply you didn't have friends, and looking back I think I may have come off as a bit rude.

If you were in the US I'd tell you to hop over to a Furthur show : p
