Why does it always happen when you're tripping?

[Tarsarlan]

You know all the weird and wonderful things people do when you're tripping? And they seem to always happen...
Example 1 - The wierd stranger
A group of us are sitting under a tree in a park in St. Kilda, the acid had just kicked in... A scruffy looking guy walks up, we can see him heading directly for us from a mile away, and he plonks himself down right in the middle, asks for a cigarette, then starts to chop up a mix right there infront of us... We're all sitting there tripping while he goes on about how he's homeless and he always comes here to smoke and then he packs a cone and smokes it...
Example 2 - The call from the parents...
You could almost thing they somehow know... They ask the weirdest questions in the weirdest way, and all you wanna do is hang up on them, but can't do it because that would be way too obvious...
Example 3 - Bad/Stupid drivers
Driving when tripping is not at all advisable, but when it absolutely has to be done, or you're all to fucked to think of any other way to get home, the other people on the road seem to try to make it soooo much harder for you... Now I know there's a lot of bad drivers out there, but they always seem to congregate around you when you're tripping...

tars, was example one at the utopia 2 party? that guy was freaky enough as is let alone on acid speaking to you!

My Example One: (ok its more like a funny story, but it just had to happen on an acid comedown)
Driving home from a Tranquil Knights bush doof, coming down off acid, up in the hills, and i mean a massive frikken hill, and almost run outa petrol and have to roll down the hill just getting to a petrol station. could you imagine trying to flag down other drivers to get to a station? could you imagine letting a stinky, acid-coming-down, tired looking raver into your car with such a story to get petrol? id think he was going to kill me

Mac: They were all from a tripping session yesterday after Utopia 2, during the day... So nah, it wasn't anyone from Utopia...

 

[Cowboy Mac]

hehe, naa the one im thinking of was a homeless guy who had a scruffy beard

Try dealing with the police after your house has been broken into and ransacked on acid.
Try having the police interrigate you and pointing the finger at you.
Try talking to a cop while his face is peeling off in front of you.
Try watching your mate read a cats mind in front of the same police...

***Disclaimer: this doesn't ALWAYS happen to me while i'm tripping!!! major case of wrong place, wrong time***
Cut a long story short--- trippin balls at well known fast food outlet, fight breaks out between friend and pimply 15 year old front counter person because friend asked for another cheeseburger (original one looked and smelled like it had been in the bain marie for about 10 years and was about 2cm thick) and was told to fuck off by afforementioned counter person. Police everywhere, friend and i are thrown in the back of a paddywagon (after being hogtied...) 3 1/2 hour lecture at the watchhouse, the whole of that time spent trying to deal with the fact that the two officers had become siamese twins, spent the night and both my mate and i bugged THE SHIT out of the residing officer with asking him "what's the time buddy?" every time he walked past. To add insult to injury, i wasn't even hungry!!!!!!!!!
that was pretty intense... S of samadhi
and K of samadhi's intense tripping experience...
First time tripping... 1 purple om.
(a week prior to this, had gone away to perigian beach, had an allergic reaction to a pollen and broke out in a rash on my back..not too bad tho. )
went to a party, had fun till some pissed girl got alcohol poisoning, ambulance and police turn...time to go. Get back to my house, friend who hadn't been tripping went to bed. Tried to sleep, but wasn't going to happen. Decided to have a shower. Took my shirt off, and noticed a HUGE fucking rash all over my body. Wasn't sure if i was hallucinating or not, so i decided to ask friend, she tood one look, and i could tell by the look in her eyes that i wasn't!!! It then became VERY itchy. I started to freak a little, she told me to go show my parents, who had just come home from a party. After much deliberation on the matter, showed them. Dad decides he should take me to the DOCTORS!!! i'm saying...no, it's ok, but by this time, it's soooo itchy. Long story short...had to sit in a doctors surgery for about an hour watching the couches breathe, the receptionists face melt off, and my dad's fingers turning into flesh coloured snakes. Then spoke to the doctor (who's face was also melting), told him that i was tripping (gotta love doctor patient confidentiality), gave me a cortisone injetion (which hurt like hell) then went home. Apparently the LSD had triggered off my allergy again...
what an introduction to the world of hallucinogenic substances hey?

Ok... very strange tripping experience... 2 sunflowers down in the middle of hyped-up olympic city... the whole city scene gets a bit too much for the band of merry adventurers, so we ferry out to Manly beach... fantastic idea, and everyone's having a great time...
eventually, someone decides that exploring the rocks would be a good idea... so we begin running around this rock shelf in the dim moonlight, all visualling our fucking heads off...
it was after about 5-10 mins that i stepped onto a solid rock ledge... that was actually just another fucking visual... thankfully i only fell about 2-3metres...
but... because i wasn't prepared for the fall, i'd fucked up my leg pretty well... a deep cut on my knee and cut up toes... so, we limped me back to a nearby friend's house... but he had just moved in, and didn't really have anything to stop the bleeding with...
so, i'm in the bathroom trying to stop my knee bleeding with a square of toilet paper when i realise that my jaw feels funny... i check it out, and the left side of my mouth's all swollen... i look at my teeth, and become convinced that they've all been shifted side on and back to front in my mouth...
this just did my head in, so (compltete with cut toes and blood clotted knee), i decide to go to a 24 hour emergency dentist... peaking my head off...
i'm pretty sure the dental staff knew nothing... but it was the single weirdest tripping moment of my life... part 2001:A Sapce Oddessy, part alien abduction, part 6million $ Man... the dentist assured me that nothing was wrong, apart from some minor swelling, but i got her to check about 4000 times... just to make sure...
a few days later, a big group of us were out rolling, and after much laffs at my dental experience, i was christened Buck - mother nature's son...

Ok guys this is what happened to me, when I was in Bali.
Incident 1: Funky and myself decide to share a magic mushroom shake. We go back to the hotel and sit on the balcony, just talking crap for a while.
All of a sudden at about 2am at least half of the people in the hotel just opened their doors and headed straight for the pool. We were like WTF??????
2 guys started fighting cause they'd left the keys back at reception, mind you they were drunk as skunks. We were convinced that 2 other guys were staring at us, and that this hotel was just like Melrose Place.
To this day I'm still not sure if all of that really happened or not.
Incident 2: Another night and another magic mushie shake in Bali, we decided to chill out at the place we were staying at in Denpasar. This was in the bad part where all of the bad spirits are (that's true).
Just when the mushies kicked in in comes this guy that we knew. He starts talking to us whilst he is staring at me. Funky and myself were just pissing ourselves laughing the whole time. Then all of a sudden he starts asking me if I loved him. I was like uh uh uh don't make me embarrass you. Luckily he left soon after.
After that I was convinced that I could see people walking up and down the stairs all night. I also thought that people were going past the window and when I went out onto the balcony I thought there were people walking down there. Of course none of that happened.
At about 5am Funky's Boyf's Mum wakes up and gets up for the day. She sees us and doesn't even ask us what the hell we're doing up at that time. She just talks to us like as if everythings normal.
I could tell lots more, but I'd be here all night.

thankfully i've never had a bad experience on acid, just good, funny times. thats what it's for.
my first time tripping(alone i might add) i found myself talking to my brother for 2 hrs eating a box of strawberries that were at home. it's only wierd because i havn't ever spoken to any of my family for more that a minuite at a time in the past. alot of differences between us kept me away from their religious ways, and my ways for them.
the worst experience(and one of the funniest) i've ever had was in perth a long time ago when a couple of my mates and i were skating at city beach on the roof of the kiosk there. ( it was a perfest kidney shaped bowl with an extremely smooth surface, 'bout a meter high edges, 6 - 8 mtrs down to the groung in places ). we were tripping real hard and it was a perfect night, we were skating real good and i tried a long grind on the lip and lost my ballance and fell off the edge, 6 or so mtrs. i landed on my feet and collapsed to my knees, on the sand. i wasn't hurt at all and all the time we were all pissing ourselves laughing, funny stuff.
guess you had to be there.
quite a poor contribution i know, but, oh well.

 

[mr_fluffy]

hey evol, welcome to the party 'lil bro'.

no, i haven't been tripping yet. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
can't trust anyone over here with my sanity

, so i'm just hanging out until i visit you in melbourne so i can have my trip cherry popped.

oops, sorry everyone, OT.

 

[ruski]

maybe a short story but omg...
coming down off acid must be the most memorable thing for anyone and probably deters most from doing it too often but my god if you ever want to fuck yourself over go to the toilet while coming down....
if the walls aren't melting, the toilet is breathing, if the toilet isn't breathing the bowl is less than 3" off the ground and looks like you could dive into it.. although the last part is actually true... i wasnt tripping at all.. its the single god damned lowest toilet i've ever encountered and if you sit on it the paranoia of the door opening is bad you've gotta keep checking that the door is locked!
the best acid expierence i had was when i had watched hercules just before we went out and i had convinced myself i was james woods (the big bad dood in hercules the cartoon - hates) and accorinding to my friends acted and talked exactly the same as him.. later on i just tripped my head off and danced to drum n bass all night at this rave we went 2 at this old house.. was insane... oh well .. acid again soon me thinks ;-)

 

[dangermouse]

first time i did acid i sat down for an hour telling some poor girl how much of a disgrace i was to my family and how id make up for it by going to church three times a week.
second time i did acid was outside the THUNDERDOME party on parramatta rd in sydney, where george vagas the dodgy bastard had sold 3000 tickets to a venue that held 900.
then the cops came with dogs and tear gassed us all, and i was tripping hard! so we walked back to central (isnt it funny that you can just walk and walk and walk and walk when you're tripping? ;-)) and then caught a bus to beverly hills and walked on the train tracks to get to padstow. look at the rocks on a train track when you're tripping and i SWEAR they turn into crabs.
but the ultimate is watching graf videos... all the graf comes out into 3d, its insane!

[icantfeelmylegs]

whilst this is not purely tripping.. it was my first time candyflipping.. at NYEearthcore down at that FAB river...
Hoffman and a BIG cap of MD
I was there.. mah best mates on the shore G'd up beyond all recognition.. and there's me down at the river boingin around on the rocks goin 'Riddip' like de frog.. before espying a guy on the other shore draped in a green sheet doin all these kung fu/wu shu moves and the sheet melding around him like the big sleeves do in HK action flicks.. his mouth miming but different words coming out.. I realised he was doing this cos I was doin Mr Miyagi and daniel san stylee crane cicks on top of this big rock.. we pose and mime and bad dub some more before he tells me that in the movie 'even cowgirls get the blues' Mr Miyagi and Uma thurman pash-snog.. I am left a gibbering laughing mess on top of a big rock.. Oh my.. what a day.
Recovering from this... I get into the water.. hearing from my newfound family.. the DFC.. the drug-fuct-crew one lass in particular.. goin "Boogi-woogiii!!!!" and then all of them errupting into song.. I follow of course and suddenly I hear echoes of other people up and down the river doin the same thing...
when I get into the water.. I float there.. all under but the tips of my fingers and ties.. my eyes nose and mouth.. hearing nothing but the burble of the water.. and insects.. watching the low, rain swollen clouds morph and twist like molten cotton candy.. Ooo.. after an hour or so.. it starts raining.. faark!! rain has never felt so good.. or been so funny.. all the poor people leaving the lovely river!! poor fools..
shit.. that was long.. better finish.
well.. I suppose in the not too distant future I shall be vying for the title of King of the Candyflip.. it is WAAAAy too much Bulk, Bulk fun!

Bump!!!
We haven't shared acid stories for a while, and there's heaps of new people on bluelight with stories too...

 

[blufluffybunny]

i see little aliens. You know like the ones everyone describes. Big black eyes, small nose and mouths. They are about 15 cm tall and contantly run past me. And they sound like those plasticine guys ummm... morph and his friend....
I've had many of the above experiences, but the aliens I can always count on to come and say hello.
weird

 

[dr rico yi]

I swear i posted this ages ago in this thread. Oh well.
Id had: two blue ohms, was very stoned and had had some dexxies.
At a backyard party, i thoguht everything was made of coral for some reason.
Anyway....a friend of mine was slightly drunk and decided she'd try a bit of fire breathing. To cut a long story short she fucked up and ended up igniting her entire face about 5 metres away from where I was sitting. I was so amazingly detactched from reality that I thought it was highly amusing.
Me: "You really shoudlnt play with fire"
Tripping Friend: "yeah"
Someone else: "Dont just stand there call a fuckn ambulance!!!"
me: "huh...what for.....the fires out" (see i thought they meany call the fire fighters)
Anyway after about 5 minutes i realised that i wasnt living in a cartoon reality and that she'd suffered some rather nasty burns. i got rather spun out and felt like quite the dickhead/barstard.

Jeezzz after reading these posts I can say I was very lucky when I had my first and only trip on a half a Hoffman 2000. 24 hour trip was the only bad point (or good in some peoples book!

).
Goes to show you should always have a shit load of Vitamin C on hand to cancel the effects of the trip in case of emergencies.(or is it Vitamin B complex or something? Can anyone confirm?)

None of those. Try some benzos...

 

[nostalgic]

I have never, once in my life, taken acid.
The only drugs I've done are eccy, coke, speed, amyl (I suppose thats not worth mentioning though) and weed.
But, I've had hallucinations of weed.
The first time I ever smoked weed was with a friend at a party last year. We shared the same stick, he thought he was in a movie, got the giggles, munchies and then fell asleep.
I, however, watched the frames of my glasses turn into pink neon tubing and wobble slightly, before turning stone grey and growing very gothic extensions off the frames. My eyes were framing so badly that I could look in one direction, spin 180 degrees as quickly as possible, and I would see nothing of the rotation. Sitting on my own, down the back of the host's garden, looking at the ground, holding my head and wondering what the fuck was wrong I noticed that the almost perfectly square tuft of grass which I had been staring at had turned into a completely perfect square. Inside the large black square was another square (half the size) and a black dot in the centre. The rest of it was filled with a green colour which didn't match the rest of the grass. In seconds, these perfect squares formed a tessalation across all the ground I could see. They dissapeared. The ground went black. I hit myself in the head, to no effect. All the ground I was standing on turned a orange neon colour in the shape of the black squares. It begun to rotate beneath my wobbling feet. I hit myself in the head so hard I still question myself for it while making my way back up to the house. Life was going at two frames every second. A faint texture covered everything I could see... Almost like completely clear sand all over my eyes. Everything looked very bitty. Anyone who has finished solitare before will find this next one easier to understand... I looked at a particular tree, it's branches were bare. As I looked around it followed the centre of my vision, leaving a trail of that tree (centremeters apart) in the same way the cards at the end of solitare fall down. Only that one tree did it, and not for long. There were a million more things I saw that night, and from the 5-6 times I've smoked it since (each time sharing with others, all whom had average and normal responses from the goods) I've accumulated thousands more hallucinations. It's easy to pull one out of my head and write it down.
This might sound fun, but I get perplexed beyond measure... And frightened to the same extent... Every time I check my phone I expect 30-45 minutes to have passed, every time it's more like 1 minute.
Anyone with some input, who wants to hear more of the work my brain+weed have conjured or who's had similiar experiences with weed, please share.

Ahhhh tripping stories, my favourite.
I've never had bad trip but I used to do inappropriate things that would make for weird times ... once I popped a trip (or two) and went to a nice hairdressers for a haircut. It was a really nice feeling having your hair done but I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror for all that time and ended up just shutting my eyes.
Another time I went to the doctors to get a Hep B shot which of course was such a stupid idea, I was sitting in the waiting room tripping harder and harder and getting freaked out about having an injection and having it react with my trip. I ended up pretending I was in a hurry and couln't wait any longer and left.
I also once took a trip and took some kiddies to the local show. I wouldn't have gone to the show of my own accord but it was so bright and seedy and full of pissed teenagers, I would almost recommend it (And I know that looking after kids when you are on drugs is not very responsible but I was a big tripper back then and really did keep my shit together on that occasion. I wouln't do that now tho).
The strangest trip I ever had was when I went to a pagan festival and took multiple trips for two days till I felt sooo burnt I had to leave. While I was there they had some ritual where you got in contact with your ancestors or something and I had a vision of mine being very angry and disapproving of my drug use and saying "NO NO NO NO" to me. That could have been very freaky but it was all good, what did they know anyway

The best trip ever was when I took 4 strawberries and went for a bike ride at night. I had no lights on my bike at the time and the path I chose had no lights either so it was just me and my visuals flying through space. Magic. Trips and bikes are the best!
It's funny thinking about this, trips are so my drug of choice and I know I had such fun times but I just can't take them anymore. I'm scared they'll burn my head up or something.
Actually, while on this, how long do trips keep for? I reakon I've got 5 or so in my freezer that have prbably been there for a year. Would they still by okay?
