☮ Social ☮ PD Social Tripping Thread: Euphoric Rambles for Swirling Souls

[Xorkoth]

Yeah social trips are a different beast. Took me a long time to get comfortable with them, and in general I find solo trips to be more useful when trying to get a particular thing out of them.

 

[Cream Gravy?]

I still find it real hard to interact with normies when out tripping hahah. It took me a long time to get comfortable with being in public while frying though, and even now it can be hard; a few weeks ago my friend and I went to the gas station to get beer, argued with each other over who should go in and buy it, then decided neither of us would and promptly went back 8)

 

[psy997]

That's totally something that my friends and I would do, Gravy

A couple of weeks ago I took some 4-AcO-MET for a show, and I was going to meet a couple of friends there. I was okay with tripping in such a public situation, and I was okay tripping around my friends, so everything would be fine in my head. But once we were, one of my friends unexpectedly met someone, and she wanted to hang out with us. Since I was still coming up I became extremely uncomfortable being around someone I didn't know. Talking felt weird, being completely silent felt weird, and a lot of internal processes were going on.

At one point I just couldn't take it anymore and I just had to say: I'm sorry, I'm tripping right now, I think we can talk another time, and I just left the group to be on my own. I didn't know if my friend's friend would be okay with such a thing, but it felt like the correct thing to do, lol. Luckily she was ok with that, and my friends met me latter when she found other people to hang out with haha.

Tripping in public has to many uncontrollable factors.

 

[Xorkoth]

Yeah I was a bit wary of it for Christmas Jam since I was there with many thousands of people, but I went with it and I was quite comfortable almost the whole time, talking to strangers was easy. But then again it was a very psychedelic sort of scene, like a mini-festival.

 

[Solipsis]

Just had dinner with that artist friend, he gave me Durban Poison - weed that actually came from South Africa (2nd generation) that has almost all THC as cannabinoid content! Same sort of pure Sativa like the famous weed called Swazi Gold.
And yeah was a nice evening with him but not sure if interesting to tell.

 

[Xorkoth]

Cool, nice to me with friends you haven't seen in a while. I'm traveling across the country to see my family (with my girl this time!) in a couple of days and we're gonna go see my really good friend from college and his wife, she'll get to meet them. It's so great seeing him, we always have an epic time, reminiscing, smoking weed, catching up. Can't wait.

 

[Solipsis]

Awesome, congrats on the reunion (x2)

 

[Xorkoth]

Oh man last night was great, picked up my sweetie, got home after a long time in the car, hit the bedroom, not quite sure when we fell asleep but it was laaaaate.

 

[psy997]

Ow owwww! I'm sure the love is flowing like Niagara Falls up there

 

[Kaleida]

That all sounds like a blast Xorkoth, glad to hear you're enjoying yourself!

Damn, an imposter! When I was 17 (which was when I started smoking weed), all we could get in my town was shitty Mexican brick weed. I didn't even know what dank was until the summer before college when my cousin got some and we smoked it. People called the weed "A-town brown", because it was rarely even green. Sure got us high though, just had to smoke more of it. But these days I definitely wouldn't smoke that because it seems nasty to me.

I think what I'm trying to say is that we're all spoiled little weed brats these days.

On a related note, is anyone else still kind of incredulous at the realization that it's been fully legalized in multiple states? Didn't think I'd ever see that when I was younger.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of stories like that while complaining to people heh heh. I dealt with that a few times... but mostly I've just always had dank. There's a big difference here from what you described though, for the last few years I haven't been able to find anything less potent even when I actually wanted to, like for edibles or something. I was surprised to see that this stuff even still exists... but yeah, it does totally get you high, it's just a little less full. I feel like the lack of smell and taste probably means the terpenes are lacking as well, which I guess could explain some of that.... And oh of course, I'm definitely spoiled with my cannabis too, but is that such a bad thing? :D

Completely agreed re: the incredulousness as well. It's spreading fast.... Over half the country has at least some form of legal cannabis now. Surely the pressure to change the laws must hit a breaking point soon! One can hope anyway....

Just had dinner with that artist friend, he gave me Durban Poison - weed that actually came from South Africa (2nd generation) that has almost all THC as cannabinoid content! Same sort of pure Sativa like the famous weed called Swazi Gold.

Nice, I had some of that in Denver, it's good stuff. :D Doesn't it have a little bit of THCV too? I thought I remembered reading that it was one of the strains more known for that, but maybe it was something else....

^Used to get Mexican brick down here when I was in high school. It was fun 'cause I could roll blunt after blunt and feel no qualms smoking an ounce bag in an evening with some good friends. One time though, I found a centipede in an ounce sack. My guy told me 'well it's from Mexico what do you expect' so we just used it to make brownies after ensuring there were no more creepy crawlies good times.

 

[Img_9999]

LMAO can't imagine finding a fucking centipede in my weed xD ... would seriously creep me out, specially if I was already high.

The quality of most street weed here in south america is pretty shitty, but in some places like Peru and Bolivia is seriously cheap. Anyway, a few years ago some headshops started exploiting the weird legal gap of cannabis seeds not being illegal here, so all the good strains started showing up. It's pretty much impossible to get in trouble for growing your own here, so most serious stoners have their own plants. It's cheaper and easier than dealing with dealers

Had one of the best trips in recollection last night after eating 20 mgs of 4-AcO-DMT. It started out pretty intense, moreso then expected actually because up until this point we had only tried insufflation, which proved to be nothing in comparison when eating it It was like the difference between eating MXE as opposed to snorting it. The effects were much more profound, open and closed eye visuals were out of this world, music was amazing, the break through option was present...it was basically right on par with eating an eighth of mushrooms. This has to be my new favorite chemical, possibly my favorite out of anything I have tried so far, novelties included.

One thing I want to say is it's been really nice having someone I love to share these experiences with. I used to consider myself a solo tripper really, but having the love of my life to hold onto making her the focus point of all of my trips lately has kept me from having any challenging moments. When I feel myself begin to slip away, I have no fear in letting go because I know if things get too weird and I want to come back, I have my focus point, which is an all encompassing love that fully envelops me. That in itself has proven to be incredibly overwhelming at times on psychedelics, but in the best possible way. Tears of joy. Complete and uttter bliss.

Wait, so, hold on.... You found a centipede in your weed, and then you decided to eat it? You must have a very different mindset from me. xD Wow, I think that would honestly traumatize me for a while, I'd be looking for them and jumping at the slightest movement every time I got a new stash, hahaha. Man.... I guess it's all relative, I at least don't have it that bad! I do totally get you on just being able to smoke through tons of it without feeling bad though, that's part of why I would like some weaker (but not brown lol) stuff sometime too, if I could ever find it.... If I could that would actually probably be what I'd use the most these days, save the good stuff and my tolerance for the days off and special occasions.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what's been happening here lately too; the strains have already been around forever, but the awareness and legal availability in certain states and the seeds loophole (with online purchasing, haven't seen any in headshops yet lol) I'm sure has made it spread even more, to where it's to the point I'm at where I can barely even find anything else. Growing your own still isn't common around here though.... That sounds wonderful. Honestly, I don't know why any stoners would pay so much for cannabis if they could avoid it.... My plan is to basically make myself somewhere legal and then never spend another cent on it again, just have a rotation of huge plants in all stages of life going forever.

Glad you had an awesome time, 4-AcO-DMT is pretty great. I've only used it a couple times so far, but I do also like how it takes me to basically the same place as mushrooms, just smoother. I wouldn't say that it's my favorite over some of the novelties I've used, but it's definitely up there. And agreed on the oral dosing too, not necessarily with that chemical but with tryptamines in general.... I have generally found that oral dosing produces by far the most significant experiences, to the point that I almost never consider taking them any other way anymore. Haven't tried plugging yet though. >.>

Also, I still consider myself a solo tripper generally, but that particular circumstance is an exception. But, I think that's understandable, because it's not the solo-ness that makes solo tripping great for me.... It's the intimacy. Tripping with friends, even extremely close friends, usually just can't compare to that level for me. But, when you do find someone who you can trip with and still feel that way... then you know you've found someone special.

 

[Cream Gravy?]

^Yeah, I mean at first it really bothered me... but when you pay 30 bucks for an ounce, you really can't complain hahahah. I don't know how we concluded that brownies would be the best use. Stoner logic right? Anyways, the weed was so poor that the brownies came out weak anyways, we only ate a few and tossed the rest.

I too wish I could have some mids or something at a reasonable price for rolling up, but it's indeed hard to find. Haven't seen mexican brick in years, and that stuff was usually pretty gross anyways. Different times though... I could source quarter pounds of the stuff like I was buying a gram bag of dank, but you know. Had to go through some sketchy mofos to get it. Probably best those days are behind me 8)

That's wonderful ... Tripping with my SO is as intense as solo tripping in terms of introspection and immersiveness, only even more significant because it is a shared experience. Sharing psychedelic experiences with someone you love is really something special. Glad you had a great time !

Funnily enough, I've never tried 4-AcO-DMT, being the classic RC as it is. For a while it didn't really fancied my attention as I figured it would be identical to shrooms. Then when I did become interested I found out it is scheduled in my country. Not explicitly, but DMT is, so this one too by extension.

 

[Xorkoth]

My girl wants to eat acid with me (she's never done it before) and she wants to take MDMA with me soon, she had a weak MDMA experience many years ago that nevertheless was impactful for her. She's never had a proper roll, but she suffers from PTSD and she's really interested in the emotional opening effects. She's perfectly open and wonderful with me, but with others she has a hard time really opening up and being fully present in social situations except with a few choice really close friends. She's looking to change that. I am looking forward to being her guide, and in general to having a loving, beautiful experience with her.

So far we've just eaten mushrooms together and it was weak... she's never had a real trip, just threshold experiences. She knows I trip a lot and she's always asking me about it, she's really interested in having a full experience.

 

[Cream Gravy?]

It'll be the day when my girl asks to trip with me lol. Her family has a history of schizophrenia, and while she's fine (she's almost 24, I think she's in the clear) and I seriously doubt she'd go loopy, I can understand her apprehension. She doesn't have any interest in herb even, so that really sets the standard. Oh well.

 

[Xorkoth]

Yeah some people just aren't into drugs, it's okay. My girl is a very light drug user, she smokes weed sometimes (like once or twice a week usually, tiny, tiny amounts, like what would be a tenth of a hit for me and it gets her really high - she's a tiny girl though. She had 2 grams of really good weed last her a full year), drinks like once in a blue moon (used to drink more often but her stomach is fucked up now chronically so she has to be careful), and a few times in her life she's tried psychedelics/MDMA.

She just spent 2 months in Cali, trimming buds, and smoked weed exactly one time, and it was to be a test subject for a high CBD strain to make sure it didn't get her high (which it didn't). Haha, if I was trimming buds I'd be smoking more than usual! Looking at all those delicious nugs, it would be like sitting in a restaurant with a buffet of amazing food there and not eating any.

But we did smoke weed together last night. I was on phenibut and I had a tiny bit of propylhexedrine left from a previous use like a week ago (like 50mg maybe, 1/5 of the inhaler, barely enough for a buzz generally), and I was really tired so I used it, and I inexplicably felt like I was rolling, I was talking non-stop and telling her how much I love her constantly, it was a magical night. I guess the drugs (also had 1.5 nice beers) combined with being extremely happy to see her made me roll MDMA-style (and phenibut itself can be pretty rolly honestly, but this went beyond that). I was texting a bunch of my friends too and telling them how much they mean to me. It was pretty wild.
