Back in the summer my friend crashed is bike pretty hard and barely made it out alive. A truck came into his land and ran him over. He lost his left foot and left hand but is making an awesome recovery. He was up and walking around with a cane a few weeks ago. He still has a long road a head of him.

My question is do you think he should trip with us. All the times I've seen him hes had a really good mindset. He's done shrooms 2x. First time we split a 8th and the second time he went off on his own and ate 5g and said he had a blast. This was fall of 2010. I just don't want him thinking about the accident or anything.

He really wants to do em
 
Oh yea I forgot about that. We would be tripping inside due to his mobility and its going to be 20 and snowing outside. I think will do a half 8th each since will be indoors. I told my dad and he said he would be doing his own thing and wouldn't bother us. He was into the psychs back in his day so he knows whats up lol
 
If he does start getting down, take him out in the snow world haha.
All that bright white light and shimmer is sick on psychedelics. (:
 
Although this could technically fall under "Should I take -insertdrug-?" I think we can allow this. Don't be surprised if this does get closed though. Equally likely it may be merged with the main mushroom thread.

As long as this is kept to discussion of whether it'd be bad for someone that's been through a traumatic event like that to trip or not, and not just a "Yes or no", I think this should be fine.

Personally I think the key is how he's been dealing with it, he should be aware if he wants to trip with you that mushrooms can bring back bad memories, can bring out negative emotions, and you have to be ready to let go and not try to fight it if that happens. Most likely he'll just have a good time, but you should make sure he knows what he's getting into :)
 
I'm a firm believer that people should trip outside. But being that it would be cold as hell outside I can see why you would want to trip inside. But my suggestion would be if he does start freaking out take him out to that winter wonderland lol. I tripped once in the snow and it was awesome.

However it would be quite disconcerting to be tripping out and to look at where your left hand use to be and see a stump instead of a hand. For me that just might send me spiraling into a bad trip but I don't know your friend and everybody has different things that could set them off.

Hell one time The Big Lebowski set me off on a bad trip and that is one of my favorite films of all time.
 
As long as he feels his mind set is fine then I don't see a problem. There may be some time where he reflects on the accident, and why wouldn't he, but it doesn't mean he will descend into a horrible trip. Instead it could be a time to reflect on the good luck he had in surviving such an ordeal. Definitely start with a low dose and work up from there. Discuss you thoughts together while sober and perhaps try and set the tone of the trip a few days out. There may be tears but it is not impossible to come out of this trip rejuvenated and cleansed. It is better if you both go into this trip with a positive mind set rather dwelling on the negatives from the beginning. Having your dad as a trip sitter is perfect to be honest.
 
^Actually it was a combination of factors. We were watching it in my friends room that was painted completely in red. My friend hadn't seen the movie before so he kept rewinding certain parts of the movie because he couldn't understand it because he was tripping. At one point for some reason he kept rewinding one of the parts where Walter tells Donnie to shut the fuck up. That coupled with the red room made me think I was stuck in hell forever with the walls covered in blood condemned to watch this one scene in The Big Lebowski for eternity. Finally I freaked out and ran out of the room and apparently threw a bunch of his family pictures to the ground. Then I calmed down and started hanging around his living room playing with his dog and then I was all right. lol

Yeah that was a weird night.
 
My recommendation is to prepare yourselves emotionally beforehand, just like you seem to be doing by starting this thread. If you guys talk easily about his accident and it's something he seems to be facing head-on (instead of trying to avoid or escape post-accident reality), then this could be a healing experience for him. Even if you guys just want to have a good time, I'd recommend preparing yourself to deal with the issues if they surface during the experience. Just thinking about it ahead of time and having a plan of action if he does hit shaky ground will actually make the whole experience less likely to go south, because you will feel ready to deal with it instead of dreading it.
