Your Pre-Dose Ritual (or How You Do Your Dose)

What's your ritual for tripping alone? How do you weigh out your drugs, measure them, dose them. What tools do you use? Do you drink some tea on the come-up while doing yoga?


I like to focus on my breathing for an hour or so ahead of time. Sometimes I'll read up (even things I already have read) on the chemical I'm about to ingest just to weed out those pre-trip jitters. I take my box out of the freezer, and go and get my supplies from my closet. I weigh an empty gel-cap, which always weighs between 98-101 mg depending on the amount of powder residue inside of it. I use a pocketknife to scoop the chemical out of the bag and put it into the gel-cap, and weigh that. Usually I have to add some powder a couple times until I get my desired dose. Then, if I'm plugging (I almost never take powders orally anymore.. I enjoy the shorter duration and increased potency) I dump the gel cap into a designated Los Angeles shot glass with some tap water and suck it up with my plug syringe and get the job done. From there I used to smoke a cigarette, but I quit smoking so now I just go sit down and usually read some more online until I'm up and out of it.

Whatchoo do?
 
prepare: music, food, etc
cut tab of strip with orange fiskers.
put it under my tounge.
wait.
chew.
swallow.
roll joints till I start to feel high.
smoke the first one.
rock on.
 
I usually only just stick on some tunes, put some pj's on, go to my nightstand and take my pre-measured dose of whatever. I always have things mostly prepared a day ahead of time for some reason. It's like a two day ritual. I like physically preparing something I take..its actually fun. So i prepare one day and then ingest the next day.

I drink lots of green tea although it depends on what I'm taking. If I'm dosing on acid then I won't drink tea cause of the caffeine but shrooms, dmt, or anything else I will.

And I've never plugged and never will... don't care if it's more efficient or not.. I don't like shit up my ass (well actually shit is the only thing I allow in my ass, haha)
 
I'll usually think about whatever i'm planning to focus on, or read a bit if i'm taking a dose more to gauge the effects of a substance that is somewhat new to me. Then i'll pick out some tunes or viewing material.
After that i get my two mg scales, chems, & gel caps, cross check the weight of the capsule, weigh the powder, put it in the capsule, & cross check the weight again, note the time & dosage & down the hatch, usually with water or a fuze green tea. Or if its something that causes me anxiety perhaps a dark beer or two. Lay back, relax & let my mind float downstream ;)
 
I just like to take a moment to quiet my mind and set my intention to have a beneficial experience, whatever that might be at that moment. I've found that if I'm too rigid in my expectations of what I want to happen beforehand, I end up resisting the trip rather than just letting go and experiencing it.
 
I like first off have a good dinner and some marijuana during the day with some meditating and yoga throughout then to wait into the evening around 7-8 do some yoga then take a pre-dose nap for 2-4 hours so i'll be able to stay up all night if need be. then I wake up as most people are asleep at that time and take my dose and just lay on the floor in my room with some paper and pencils nearby for drawing with maybe some music or psychedelic documentary on my computer. i'll smoke more weed if the come up is bumpy or alien but with LSD I just let it come. I usually just lay on the floor and take it, then start drawing once i'm at a plateau. Some acid trips i've played guitar the whole trip from pre dose till come down.
 
Pretty simple.

I liquid dose, so I measure out my dose with a syringe and add it to some kind of juice and drink it back.

During the comeup I like to take a nice warm shower, it helps to calm my nerves.
 
hmm well it really depends on what substance, or more importantly what dose I am taking. For instance with any low or medium dose of a familiar substance I don't have any ritual at all. Just ingest, smoke a bowl, and wait for effects....

But I have a somewhat more rigourous checklest for high doses experiences. It typically begins by abstaining from marijuana for the few hours leading up ingestion. Also normally starting at an hour or half an hour before I want to dose I start to seriously think about why I am tripping this night, what I want to get out of it, what I want to do with my trip, etc, etc. I also determine if theres any anxiety or nervousness about the up coming trip and why its there if there is any. Getting closer to launch I begin to meditate (real full lotus position meditation) to clear any preconceptions or expectations I have built up mentally preparing in the last half hour. Once I am completely open minded, compltely willing to submit to either heaven or hell, completely ready for the experience, I will weigh my dose out, make a parachute out of it and ingest.

I plan mine out very accordingly.

For about a week beforehand, I start regularly taking vitamins and eating organic.

That day, I'll either not eat or eat only fruit and drink plenty of water.

I rub one off in the shower, which both make me feel refreshed.

Dose while I sit in silence, with either dimmed lights, multi colored lights, blacklights.

Load up bong take some hits.

Haha. The first time I took acid I was sadly naive and took 3 tabs because a friend said that 1 wouldnt make you see shit.. Anyways I hopped into the shower like fourty minutes after I took it, and stayed in there for like an hour and a half.

You'd think a beginner wouldn't enjoy 3 tabs, but I fucking thoroughly enjoyed that night.
 
I gather pot, music, food & tasty drinks. Then I eat the tabs, lay back on my comfy couch, and enjoy. Its not exactly rocket science. :D
 
Great replies. I'm definitely contemplating making my ritual longer and more in depth. I enjoy the ritual for some reason, quite a bit. I don't think I could make a week-long ritual like Zero, in part because I rarely know that far in advance when I'll be dosing. But, I could see a two day ritual like Pho. I like the idea of having it already weighed out. Also, sometimes I will shower on the come-up as well, I'd just forgotten that. Especially on drugs with slower come-ups. Also, let it be known, I'm way jelly of you guys who are talking about acid. I've gotten it twice in my life (stocked the fuck up, too! but supplies dwindled quickly) but it's been a couple years at least. It's interesting to see so many others put value on quieting the mind for a while ahead of time. It really does make the trip less sloppy.
 
I usually read a little psychedelic material to get into the psychedelic mind state.

Take a vitamin b with some tea, usually yerba mate, but if im ingesting in LSD in hold off on the caffeine.

Then i proceed to meditate on why im taking this adventure, and what im trying to get out of it.

Then as soon as i pop out of my meditation i ingest in what ever chemical i am ingesting.

Only amature's drop without proper preparation.
