Tripping with strangers?

Hello!
So I’ve been invited to trip with a small group of people I’ve never met. I’ve only spoken to one of them over FB(how the invitation happened). This person has numerous mutual friends and “seems” cool enough. Also, promise of only the best stuff will be provided(lsd, mdma, dmt). And I don’t have any reliable way of acquiring these on my own. Especially not top shelf stuff. This could also lead to another offer mentioned, of me being able to tag along to meet someone who extracts dmt, and then being allowed to watch the process and learn how to do it myself. Which is a huge opportunity imo. However, I feel really unsure about tripping with people I have never met before. Especially when I haven’t done lsd in a few years, and I almost always chose to do it alone because that’s the way I prefer doing psychedelics. I suffer from anxiety and worry that might screw up my mindset. But also worry if I don’t go I’ll regret missing the opportunity. The opportunity to meet like minded people, make new friends, develop new connects, and gain knowledge. This is my first time posting on Bluelight so I apologize if this is in the wrong thread or breaks any of the rules. I did read the guidelines but was still kinda unsure if this was fine to post. So, have any of you experienced tripping with strangers? How was it? What would you do if presented with this opportunity?
 
Hi mate and welcome to BL

Only time in dozens of experiences I've tripped with strangers (one close friend, one casual mate and 5 strangers) it definitely didn't go well. I did take a super-high mushroom dose though. Definitely not something I'd reccommend (shudder, memory is still unpleasant and this was 35 years ago haha).

I've done it with close friends but around strangers (lower dose, at festivals etc) though and that always went ok for me, but you're still exposed to far more unpredictable environments/peoples vibes and actions, which could easily fuck your trip up

You may be completely different though, but yeah, tripping with strangers is not usually a good 'setting' for the vast majority of people and as we know for absolute certain, 'set and setting' are massive factors in safe/effective/pleasant/healing tripping.

You really need to be doing it around people you're super-comfortable with, so you're not holding onto the ego and can let go. imo/ime anyway.

Extracting DMT is easy, no need to enter a potentially awkward social situation for that. On the other hand, it might be a learning experience. However, you may benefit more from exploring sober (or just drunk/high) socializing if you feel you need more social experience. You may also want to be looking for a plug rather than a social circle with expectations beyond your comfort zone.

As for me i've been tripping among relative strangers but i wasn't super young then and i didn't have anxiety about it. The dose was also very manageable.

I don't know what's the best. Anyway good luck.
 
I thing Its not the best thing. You answered your question when you said that you choose to do it alone with pscychedelics.
If I was you I wont do it.
 
The only way I would recommend tripping with strangers is if you are a staunchly extroverted person, not an anxious person, and extremely confident with psychedelics.

It's generally a pretty bad idea. You'd be going into a situation where you have no idea what the set or setting would be.

It's not something I would do myself, and I've tripped hundreds of times.

However, I have tripped in such a situation while also taking benzos and it was OK. It was still uncomfortable at points, but had a good time.

And yeah, extracting DMT isn't that special or interesting to watch. It's less difficult than baking a cake (literally). A child could do it.
 
Thanks for your feedback everyone. As was mentioned, I think the dose would be a big factor. I would only be doing 1 tab I think for that reason. I also plan to really feel it out first for awhile after arriving before making my final decision. If I go and don’t click/vibe well with them then I’ll politely say i just don’t feel up to it. Im not an incredibly extroverted person, I used to be but as I’ve grown that has changed. However I’ve never met anyone I didn’t get along with. And find it quite easy to mesh with just about any type of personality. So if I go and feel it out and it turns out to be chill and I feel comfortable, and I only take one tab, would that still be a bad idea and a bad trip waiting to happen? The invite is for today so I have to make up my mind now. Also, though I didn’t ask if it was available for everyone, he said he had mdma as well, so perhaps I could just do that. Or would mixing the lsd with the mdma make it a bit easier around strangers, and lessen the risk of a bad trip perhaps? Since mdma helps you connect with others?

How stong is the tab though? The range thesedays seems to be from around 40ug up to a genuine 200ug and the difference between those experiences is incalcuable. Truth is - nobody here knows how you are gonna react

I don't think the mdma plus lsd would make anything easier tbh. The accepted dosing protocol is lsd first, then take the mdma 4 or 5 hours in, or when you're just coming off your lsd peak. So, you'd still have the main part ot the trip as just lsd anyway. The dosing schedule is based on the fact that you definitely don't want to be coming down from mdma while stilll heavily tripping as that could send the whole thing into a bad space

EDIT just noticed how you 'met' these people....why would a group of mates invite a total stranger off Facebook to trip with them anyway? All just sounds a little weird
 
It could be fun but i doubt it. I can trip with mutual friends but it's just me.. I feel comfortable almost every time I trip so i can not give you a good advice. But maybe you should not trip with them because you had a long break since your Last trip. Can you trip at least once or few times by yourself before you meet with them? I would go, but I would make sure I had some benzos or alcohol with me so if i got negative effects I could calm down a little and feel more comfortable.
