swimming on psychedelics

[Okami]

Swimming on Phychadelics is awsome..... oddly enough though I was at a massive party in a hotel and when me and a freind found the pool and jumped in on E it totally killed the trip.... sobered me right up. MDMA is strange like that, Ibeza is cool like that. Anyway got out felt compleately sober I think it was the shock of the water being refreshingly cool.... on a hot night. It was wierd once we hit some kind we got our roll back but it wasn't as intense as it should have been.

Read an erowid article that said that the mdma high and neurotoxicity were directly linked to increase in body temperature and when they injected rats with something that lowered there body temperature not only did they show no serotonergic neurotoxicity, they also didn't appear to get high. This is anecdotally similar to what I and friends have experienced. We were once completely baffled by our sobriety when we gurned outside during winter and were barely of bassline, ended up thinking my scales were broken and then read that article. Also a friend told me about a time he took a cold shower to kill a trip and it worked.

Sorry none of that was related to swimming.

I'm a very experienced swimmer, I come from a family of swimmers and surfers so I learned to swim before I was a year old and I grew up swimming in the ocean daily. I prefer to swim while I'm coming up on a psychedelic. It really helps with phenethylamine muscle tension or mushroom wobbles. I think it's unsafe at higher doses.

The best day of my life involved swimming in a pristine forest lake with friends while coming up on synthetic mescaline. Thrashing around in the water was the perfect antidote to muscle tension. I felt pretty much at one with nature in there. The sun hitting the water made thousands of diffracting rainbows.

I've also taken acid, 4-aco-dmt and mushrooms (seperately) in the same forest lake a couple of times. I have to say on a moderately high dose of LSD it didn't feel 100% safe. I had a thought loop about confusing the water and the air. I was swimming alone at night that time which is obviously dangerous.

I swam in the ocean on the Mediterranean while on 4-ho-met. It was a very calm warm sea, and so salty you couldn't help but bounce along the top. I did end up farther out than I expected.

Later that night we went back in the ocean and really tripped out over the bioluminescent trails we made in the water.

where as I have been to a water park on 2 hits of LSD and had a blast. I can remember talking to this hottie hottie about her tatoo on her lower back, cause the patern a tribal of some kind was really beautiful and it was moving. I am pretty sure I told her I was trippin face, and she asked if I had anymore unfortuantely I did not.... LOL

Holy shit! That would be sooo fun. I can't even imagine how much fun one could have at a water park on acid. Dear God, my head nearly explodes thinking about it. Also the zoo!



One night a friend of ours was at the beach with us, he was on a rather huge amount of acid and we were all on pills. We all just sort of wandered off, not really thinking about it and one person went to keep him company only to discover he was having some rather serious internal turbulence. I still think he would NOT have been okay without that one person deciding to stay behind, which was beyond lucky. Not really a swimming story but I guess my point is maybe keep the dose reasonable and definitely have someone keeping an eye on you who's not quite as intoxicated.

Regardless of experience the ocean is dangerous. Throw psychedelics in the mix and you never know what could happen so I would definitely take a trip buddy.

yeah MDMA is simmilar to pychadelics with the body high, but it's odd how something like the cold can kill it. I mean, I have been sledding in the winter on shrooms and had an absolute BLAST. I didn't expect the water.... which seemed much warmer when not rolling to kill the roll. Lesson learned I suppose.

I highly recomend a water part trip on LSD or NBOMe's of 4 and 5 HO's or shrooms whatever floats yer boat.... but the good thing for me is I did not come up into my trip in the park.... I was stable and good hour and a half in when we arrived. Dorneys cool cause early on a hot june day in the summer that park really isn't all that crowded durring the week. The public bathrooms kinda skeeved me though, but thats everywhere...


like I said I love

i have also noticed that cold water kills an MDMA high, but i got in a hot tub and started rollin again right away.
but ive been in pools on lsd at least 5 or 6 times on up to 300ug and felt safe at all times.
ive been on a river float on 25c-nbome and the water felt amazing and refreshing cause it was very hot out. i thought i was floating down the amazon river, i was seein pyramids and animals n shit

Time before last when I dropped acid, my friend and I went body surfing in the pacific ocean ( which is 50 degrees mind). regardless it was an awesome experience. I will say agree with dan k on the fact that the cold water kinda took my mind off the fact i was kinda tripping and on drugs to "shit this is coold". the best part is going under wave and letting waves crash on top of you.
just thought id share my experience.

Never personally swam whilst tripping. But a good friend and experienced tripper said that swimming on 25i is incredible. More so than LSD. I guess this would be due to 25i's body stimulant effects.
