Hello guys !
I was wondering what is your opinion on drugs or combo for a music festival of the kind mentioned in the title!
Cheers :)

i would not be comfortable at all doing so but thats me. i enjoy more relaxing smooth jams while in lsd. jus go to http://electricforestfestival.com/ been there past 2 years, great vibes, cops dont fuck wit u, great music, orgainzed fest. nothing to complain about!
 
I've taken LSD at techno parties and techno festivals (Awakenings in Holland), it was pretty cool but at the festival it got a bit too much and I left on the early side. If you can handle your shit it can be amazing but also very alienating.
 
I don't think I'd enjoy any psychedelic at a large scale music festival, les alone at a hardstyle show, I'd wanna kill myself.

Not entirely because I dislike the music, but just something so fast paced and volatile sounding. The drums would be too much.
 
If you listen to a lot of that music during your trips then it could work out well enough, but IMO psychedelics lend themselves better for slower music. It could get very hectic and you'll end up like Solipsis or something. But again, if you can stand the music during a trip then you're probably fine. You should go for something like 2C-B though, something deeper doesn't seem like a great idea

Why not go for some MDMA though? Isn't that the main drug of choice in the hardstyle scene?
 
Hey thanks for the answers guys! I enjoy a lot mdma yes, but i think it lacks music enhancement (or light). I know people people that say the light and sound is great under mdma, but never experienced such thing myself. 25b-nbome was a really amazing experience for me on a music point of view. Music felt so deep and really like if there was a 15.1 sound system right in my ears, but the bodyload was not that nice. And getting visual deformations outside with many people around is not the best idea i think. But I really enjoyed the music side of it.

Hardstyle is not my stuff (more likely hardcore) but you cannot escape that in some festivals and I like it also so its good. But taking psychedelic drug at festival is something that i'm not sure about (as few guys said here). Its really easy that things can go wrong, and I know i'm a bit weak on the mental side (2c-c has scared me few times at doses of 65mg).

:)
 
Well, a non-visual dose of a phen (I.E 2C-C, but I would personally not pick that one) might be what you're looking for, but that social anxiety stuff some have on psychs would still be present. Though not as much as on a full tripping dose. In the end we can't really tell you what to do, because only you know how you are when you're tripping and what you can tolerate. I'd imagine that when you're just hanging out and tripping and someone puts on hardcore/hardstyle then I'd go crazy, but if that's something you can enjoy then this wouldn't be much worse.

P.S Psychedelics at raves/parties/whatever aren't so bad as long as you keep your dosages sane and the music is fitting. Like weidfish said, something like Deep House or maybe IDM stuff like BoC would be more appropriate. The only problem I have with psychs at raves is that regardless of the compound I always have the idea that they are repeating the same songs over and over again. Sometimes it's one of those pretentious teen fashion shows and I turn to silence (no conversation) because of the bad vibes. It can be a real hit n miss situation, but once you "hit" (good music, good people) then IMO no party drug comes close.
 
Come one guys, even if it ain't your thing surely you can see that someone who loves that music would have a cracking time tripping at such an event? It's been added as a proviso that the tripper should be fully appraised with the power of his drug should he plan to use it in an intense enviroment.

Personally, I'm not huge for tripping indoors, so regardless of the music involved I'd rather be outside. But I plan to give it another go at some indoor, trancey affair at some point in the near future, while I am engaged in a long break from stims.
 
I love hardstyle and I love psychedelics, but combining the two? whew I'm really not sure if I'd want to do that. Strenuous physical activity, sensory overload, a sea of people, I would worry I'd freak out or overexert myself, or get dehydrated while out of my gourd.

If you'll be "dancing" (hakkuh/jumpen) most of the time I'd say something that doesnt interfere too much with your hydration and exertion. A low dose of shrooms comes to mind. If you'll be mostly roaming the crowd you might try something more stimulating, such as one of the amphetamine phenethylamines (DOC, TMA's, 3CE).

So if you are hell bent on combining a hardstyle festival with psychedelics, use a physically benign one like shrooms or LSD if you want to go physically wild and have a more stimulating one if you want to go mentally wild.

Oh, and bring earplugs and sunglasses so that if it gets too sensorily or socially intense for you on psychedelics, you can cocoon up by turning the lights, sound and social scrutiny down. If you have them -- take benzos with you.

Everyone seems to be ignoring the trance inducing aspect of energetic dance music. I've spent nights in the infamous London club Club UK on LSD. There were some stomping, Hard-Ass techno DJ's spinning at that place, as well as the full-on uplifting trance I prefer normally & I found myself drawn to surprisingly hard & sometimes sparse musics whilst tripping for their trance-like aspects.

Now I'm not going to deny that tripping in a rammed Wandsworth rave was dicey on occassion, not least the night where I was forced by a bouncer intrusion to neck both a trip AND a pill at the same time in the lav (not part of the plan, I planned to share them!). Some nights the vibe just wasn't right & an early-abort-cab-home would occur. I don't remember ever aborting a night out on MDMA... so yeah, I do understand the reticence of some here, but my only concern personally would be the crowded indoor enviroment, not the speed or "hardness" of the music or "the loudness of the drums".

Doses of whatever the op intends to use should be cautious at first, so in the name of HR I'd advise that at the very least.
 
I love hardcore/hardstyle... I always roll/trip most of the time. Its fun as shit and shuffling or whatever you do is even more fun. My friends spin hardstyle and we'll all drop acid... then they'll start their set a little after.
 
Cheers guys for the comments ! Feeling less alone haha. Yea Nolys, defqon this year probably. would love to go to dominator but no time this year. Thank you Asante for your message, year i always make sure I have glasses ! :D
 
Okay, spinning tripping is fucking difficult! I heap kudos on those that can pull this mission off!

Lucky you mate! I was supposed to go but other arrangements and lack of money to buy a ticket on saturday got in the way :(
Hope you enjoy it!
 
Mate, saturday tickets will be on sale THIS saturday. Weekend tickets were for sale last saturday :) But yea price is ridiculous :( I am still uncertain to take something extra than mdma and (maybe) coke but since my experience with 25-b i just want to have that feeling again ! :D

Yup, two of my friends spin together in a group that I won't disclose the name cause then people are going to find me a hell of a lot easier on this. Anyways they're playing a pretty big show in July and I'm wondering if we'll get them to trip again. We usually do and I'm impressed how they don't fuck up their sets... I know I would. My other friends who spin dnb and drumstep only roll... as well as other DJ's I know and chill with. Not all can pull tripping and spinning off lol
 
Nah seriously, I can't do it, it's a mess up there Lol Pills & DJing, fine, DJing tripping, nah, can't do it! If I had something psychedelic, I'd give it a try again, just for a laugh like ;)
