Miscellaneous Is tripping on Halloween a good idea?

Only on Benadryl :D

I think I might grow a few cakes of mushies just for Halloween, it does sound fun.

Hell yea, tripping on Halloween is an annual tradition... nearly mandatory!

But skip the parades and parties and bars.... stay home and gather a handful of friends to trip together... gather early so everyone is there and ready at the end of the light of day... then just at the first detectable hint of twilight (or perhaps at the sight of the first star or planet) drop a big dose... Nothing like coming up on a fat dose of good clean LSD during a crisp clear fall twilight, not much is sweeter than that, it just feels so RIGHT!... and carve a few pumpkins... put a red bulb in the porch light... admire your simple but lovely work... and muse upon the spirits of friends passed, imagining they are sitting there with you... play some atmospheric music (but nothing too cartooney)... wear a weird outfit and have a strange tripped out mask ready for kids that come for candy... muse upon things cosmic... read some Poe aloud... later at midnite go out into the back yard and make a little bonfire... light a sage bundle and burn some offerings in tribute to the souls of your departed friends while passing a nice sticky doobie around.

Thats what Halloween is for!!!

I love it when I'm all high and tripping going through a haunted house and then come around a corner to see one of these things. For those who have never been exposed to it, the blacklight painted tunnel rotates around the walkway to make you feel like you're spinning through the vortex.
 
Last halloween my friends and I were on acid. We decided to go for a walk, I was really enjoying the walk until someone driving past in a car decided to try to throw eggs at us. Needless to say the walk ended abruptly after that, I felt much better once I got home and felt 'safe' again.

I tripped on 5-MeO-AMT three years ago at that thing in Chapel Hill... I didn't like it. There were WAY too many people, and there wasn't really anything to do, and at least when I was there there was no music playing or anything either. Just lots of people walking by looking in shop windows. And the restaurants and bars had a stand-offish vibe to them. They wouldn't let you use the bathroom unless you stood in line and bought something. No joke, there were hired bouncers scowling at long lines of potential customers, checking receipts before letting anyone in the bathroom. And there were no outdoor toilets! Not that I could find anyway.

I found it lame and it had a hostile vibe due to the bad spirit of the businesses that were making money off the event. Maybe it's not like that and I was just tripping or found a bad part of it.

A better place to trip on Halloween would be somewhere with a couple of friends where you could be alone and safe. Or outide somewhere aware from civilization. Being around crowds of people is rarely a good thing on powerful psychedelics.

Hey Xorkoth, a few years late lol but did you actually enjoy 5-MeO-AMT at all? How many times have you used it?

I tried it once, many years ago, about 5 mg, can't remember exactly.

I actually enjoyed it pretty much, had a great social time at a large house party and some nice albeit rather mild visuals, patterns, extra colours and colour brightness. It was all good, but the residual stimulation lasted all night. Had I planned for it, I would have dropped a lot earlier and prepared for a full night. I find trying to sleep when you can't is frustrating, but if you simply accept it as an inevitability it isn't nearly as bothersome.

Never got nausea or jitters or any other nasty side effects people often report, just residual stimulation. I always warn people about the "nasty" side effects simply because of how often they are reported, but I could see myself actually enjoying it occassionally if I prepared for it by dropping earlier and preparing myself for the possibility of a long night with little sleep.

Just wondering if you got nasty side effects? I didn't find it profound or all that valuable, so I doubt you thought it was all that great, but for what it is, it was a nice stimulating and social experience with a nice touch of visuals.
 
I got nausea every time. I never tried it beyond 5mg. It generally felt kind of weird and off in my body... edgy, tense. I found it made me socially awkward too until I had a few drinks, but this was back when I was younger and had a much harder time socially, and these were new friends.. Also all psychedelics were a lot rougher on me then. So I don't know how it would be today. I can definitely say I enjoyed a few of my experiences, and that a few others were not so much fun. Overall, AMT is better in every single way, and 5-MeO-AMT didn't provide anything unique for me really. It was a relatively strong but generic psychedelic/stimulant effect, without any sort of actual spiritual activity.
 
^I wonder how much of the negative side-effects are due to 5HT-3 agonism, since it is more serotonin-like on account of the 5-MeO (it's the 5 position that does it -- for people that don't know -- since 5-hydroxytrypamine is serotonin). I got sent a half gram years ago by accident from a vendor when I ordered DPT (thanks to Erowid's version of Tihkal I knew the alternative name it was labeled as and recognized it). I've never used a single dose because of the bad reports. But now that I have ondansetron, a 5HT-3 receptor antagonist, I might try some out. Since 5HT-3 activation is correlated with nausea and anxiety I'm betting the combo would be a big improvement over 5-MeO-aMT alone. It'd be nice to have literally 100 free trips for free.

On topic: I think the most "Halloween appropriate" drugs around are dissociatives. They really enhance "dark beauty" for me (a dusty oil stain under a dirty florescent light might look more beautiful than a flower to me under their influence). They enhance my appreciation of horror movies a lot more than 5HT-psychedelics, which is why I think they're the best class of drug for breathing in the Halloween atmosphere ("Mother of Tears" is a great pick for a Halloween movie, BTW).

There's a "haunted house fair" not too far from where I live with four haunted houses and a miniature carnival between them that I think will be an incredible time on either DXM and ondansetron or 3-MeO-PCP. I love that I can take JWH-018 to places and smoke in a bathroom without worrying about the smell, especially since cannibinoids and dissociatives combine so well. The strobes that haunted houses tend to use really play off of the flanging visual effects of dissociatives, too, not to mention the disconnected, dream-like world they imitate.
 
^ You mention you find AMT better in everyway compared to 5-MeO-AMT but do you notice many similarities between the two? Since I've only had that one experience years ago with 5-MeO-AMT I can't really compare them, but I'm curious as to similarities.

Anyways, I've always found LSD to be perfect for Halloween weirdness, although I'm thinking the more mentally benign 4-AcO-DMT will be my ally this year.
 
Wow looks like we got 3 people from NC here, I'm in Durham currently.
I'd love to trip on Halloween but I'd kind of want some place to go like a concert or haunted house. I'd still love walking around seeing all the costumes though, mainly because I wouldn't feel too paranoid about all the people. Do people still try to interact with you as they walk by? I Usually walk around the local parks and trails tripping but a lot of people usually have to say hello.. I'm never usually paranoid but I do kind of feel concerned. In day light I notice my pupils aren't as noticeable since they shrink but in the early evening I'm more worried so I'd like to experience being out in a darker environment where there are just too many people for anyone to care or want to interact with me. Plus if I'm not too cheap I can just get a mask and get away with the pupils for one day out of the year.
The good thing about the park is it's pretty easy to find a nearby bathroom or water fountain. My biggest issue with tripping outdoors is just that I'd rather be some place like the river or mountains and I have no way to transport myself while on these substances. Kind of why I'd be interested in finding local people who have plans for these events.

I remember a friend tripped on Dramamine right before or after Halloween and he said he still saw people dressed up and running around anyway. Oh yeah, also.. don't want to get bombed haha so on second thought maybe I'll stay indoors and hide from the trick or treaters.
 
I'd say go for it.
I'm going to be in New Orleans for Voodoo fest this year, I was thinking of dropping, but im not sure. I'll probably just stick with some MDXX if I can locate it. Any advice?
 
House party, some friends and I are dragging our gear over to set up Ableton and Traktor to rock out till the wee hours.

I'm tapped for ideas this years so I'll be in the ubiquitous Hunter S Thompson costume, so I believe tripping is kind of mandatory, i.e. it's part of the costume, you just have to accept it. Hopefully pure MDMA (well almost pure, sassafras as they call it) + Metocin (Met Flipping?). Should be worthwhile in my estimation.
 
tripping on halloween is fun in my experience as long as you have a few trips under your belt and you don't have horrible social anxiety or it could go south fast i myself have bad social anxiety but found if im gonna trip in a crowded area and take about 1.5mg of xanax im fine so you may wanna have anxiety meds on hand just in case and in case your trip does turn bad it'd be a good idea to have haldol or thorazine on you so you can just knock yourself completely out till the lsd wears off
