Hey people! Anyhow, got a question about ecstasy and festivals. Anyhow, I’m a 41 year old Canadian (which means I smoke a lot of herb)… however, its been a few years since I’ve done shrooms (use to do tons of mushies, and acid back when I was younger)… however, today I’m mostly just chillin with herbs… life changes when you get older ya know.. Anyhow, my question is… I’m going to the Rothbury festival this weekend… and the two shows I’m looking forward to see the most is Thievery Corporation, and The Crystal Method… Now, never having done X, would you guys think that this would be a good spot to try it out my first time (it will be me and my wife at the event)… Is X a good festival drug (I heard you can be quite tired the next day)…. Or should I stick to shrooms (which I know)? I've read the trip reports, and it seems like something I would like to try.. but also knowing a bit about psycadelics, I know things cannot be put into words... As well... I'm not sure if a large festival is the right place to try x... (but chrystal method, dancing, etc - just has some kind of apeal to me).. so I'm asking for advice.. Also, the above depends on actually finding x at the event… but for some reason, I don’t think that might end up being an issue… but ya never know. Thanks guys Soc
do BOTH and a festival is totally the right place to do it for the first time just have plenty of water!!!!!! (its my fav, and I love doin it at festivals...endless people and hours upon hours of music and lights) it won't be an issue!! Enjoy rothbury!! It's gonna be legendary
wait i thought about this after...I'm not trying to be rude, but just to be safe... You're 41, have you had or do you have any heart problems?
Hey goodvibes... Thank you for the info... and no worries... I don't have any heart problems... I am in good health and up until a year ago I use to love running (did a few Marathons... so no... cardio activies are more than fine on my end too... And no, I don't blame you for the question... I have heard its quite different from things I'm use to... (a lot more "energetic" is what I hear)...
Awesome, well I hope you get to try it; and if there is a place to try it Rothbury is in the top 5 but please have plenty of water!!! It is true, you can over hydrate, but that's rare. Just drink small sips when you're thirsty (and that will be FREQUENTLY) ahh I am soo excited for you
Thank you Goodvibes! I appriciate your input... and yea... This is something I've wanted to try for years... and if I don't try at Rothbury, than I'll never try. I'll update everyone after the show... have a great long weekend guys.... Peace Soc
Eat some molly if you can find any. Also the combination is great too if you're willing to give it a go. The few times i've combined two two I've eaten my rolls then 20 mins later I eat some mushies so I'm rolling on my mushroom come up. Have a good festival.
A festival is probably the best place to roll. The music, the good vibes and the crowd dancing with you is awesome. Go for molly instead of rolls, though. You can put anything in a pill. Not much else looks like little amber-colored shards of molly. This is what you want to look for. Also, don't mix it for your first time. Not saying that it's not relatively safe, but my first time rolling, I also took LSD and mushrooms and ruined myself. I can still roll, but it just doesn't compare at all to the first time.
Hey guys... Thanks again for all the info... We leave at 6:00am'ish sharp tomorow - trying to make it there for the wailers. Drummer, not sure if I'll be up for mixing (other than herb and stuff)... but with the X - I'm kinda weird that way... I would like to know the feel of that particular substance.... and mixing takes away from something (at least I find)... Anyhow, I'll let ya guys know what happens.. Oh, last (and silly question)... If my wife does not decide to partake... would you guys recomend abstaining from x? I remember always not being very comfortable on shrooms or acid - unless everyoen I was with was on it... if someone was not... they just didn't belong in my world at that time... I would not want this to happen to me and my wife... as its our first festival (and fun, togetherness, and a new experience) is more important than trying something new... Thanks guys Soc
The only thing that will happen is you will feel closer to your wife, even if she decides not to partake. X doesn't put you in your own world like other psychedelics often do. Everything in your mind will make sense to others not on the drug, unlike LSD and mushrooms.
Yeah, definitely take it even if your wife doesn't, I mean it'd be best if she approved of you doing it though [just to keep goodvibes ]and hopefully she will
sounds awesome! And thank you both for the input Anyhow, taking out the dog, hitting the sack early, and on the road for 6:00am (or so). Have a great long weekend (to those of you in the states) - and I'll give ya the info on how the festival turned out in a short bit. peace soc
Hey guys! OMG! that is all I can say about this one... Thanks everyone for all your advice! However, I never in my wildest dreams would have though that this festival would have been so beatiful... My wife and I hit the forest late our first evening... there were elves running around, art everywhere... people were doing so many cool things everywhere... there truly were no words to express this. Anhow, to make a long story short... my wife knows I want to try E - and is cool with it, but, for this one, she wanted to join me in the forrest for something deep... so we did mushrooms instead (something she is comfortable with)... it was magic... like a story book... and at this time, so many things about my life have now changed. On a side note, it wen't so well, that my wife (who always though she would hate festivals) is hooked... She absolutly loves them!!!! and I now have a permanenet festival buddy.... We ended up doing mushies, dancing to the Crystal Method till 4:00am, then just cuddling under a tree in the forrest... Anyhw, next fest we go to, I will give E a try.... but this time it just was not somthing I wante to do... as she was into something else... so I had to make my girl happy Drummer, btw, you metnioned Molly (yes, there was a ton of Molly around), I would say more than Rolls... Is that a better choice than E (I heard they are very similar)? Peace everyone.... and sorry, no updates on my first E experience... but hey, I got my wifes permsion to try next time... and I have a festival buddy... so life is good. Soc
Elves running around...sounds like a fantastic journey!!! I am happy to hear it and that ^^^is just beautiful!! I hope to have that someday! A partner that enjoys letting loose at festivals is the best kind of partner to have! And cuddling under a tree...priceless!! I am happy to hear about this and if you care to share how your life has changed I think some of us would love to hear it...if not I understand somethings are not explainable (is that a word) and even if they are, they are not as special or do not seem as special when spoken about.
Hey goodvibes, Yes, there were elves actually I think they were fairies... what happened was this. @ Rothbury, they had a section called "Sherwood forest". It was a huge forest area (very well groomed), full of wicked trippy lighting, lots of art (i.e. colourful things hanging from everywhere), and lots of performers dressed up as elf’s (they had wings and things), covered in neon lights and stuff... it was the freakiest wildest thing I ever saw... it was wilder than anything I could have ever imagined. My wife says it was like a fairy tail storybook. Anyhow.. Yea, it did change a lot of things in my life... and I would love to share it... I’m not proud of all of it… but things are the way they are. As I sat in the forest, we were listening to the music, watching these lights make patterns all over the trees... we hugged, and watched this as though we were watching a movie... there were other great people around us all the time... Anyhow, hope this does not sound weird.. As I watched the beautiful things around me, I also was being alert and listening inward. When I left, (as some people would know from some of my postings a month or so back) I had some hard feelings towards other people that did things the way I though they shouldn't have. At 41, it gets tough to find people who are able to leave their families for a weekend, and just go chill at a festival. I did have a friend of mine, who was in when I mentioned the trip.. so I bought us both tickets - and he eventually backed out without paying me... I was quite bummed out... my family (mom/sister) has been on me for everything from me being a vegetarian, to not being into church, etc... I'm waiting to find out if I have a job right now that I'm after (been unemployed for a month and a half)... I work in IT which made me a shithead in terms of being empathetic to others when it comes to work... I just figured, jobs are a dime a dozen.. (I'm better now, and more humble). I realize that if my buddy did go with me, my wife would not have had this experience, and we would not have this new found love (going to festivals together). I re-evaluated so much in my life that night... I always knew how much I loved my wife... but now I know my purpose is to make her happy... make our kids happy... and to be good to everyone I meet... nothing else matters... not work, getting hung up over comments about church... about being veg... I know I need to stop believing I know what people should be like... If they are not happy with me, that is none of my business - its theirs... and I don't need to pollute my soul with anger and crap anymore. Anyhow, sorry, its a big ramble of things... and I don't think I can explain it very well... but it was a beautiful night... we opened up, and talked about so much.. I told her I wanted to try E (as well as some other personal things that we talked about)... and I just think some good things are on their way... and some great changes are going to be made as of now... Anyhow, sorry for the long ramble... as you know its not possible to explain the trip... but the above is what I was able to take away. PS: You probably know, drugs have changed a bit since I was younger... lots of kids were walking around saying... (mushrooms, hits, etc... things we knew), but, there was so much around that was also new to us... (i.e. Rolls, Molly, Love, and others)... I knew what some of the new drugs.. which impressed my wife.. she asked how I know... and I told her: Hipforums.com PPS: I am trying to upload some photos of the woods to my profile... if you wanna see a fairy, check it out. Peace GoodVibes... Richard
Glad you had I good time. I streamed as much of the festival as I could on my computer. The phil show was bumpin' and it looked like a superb crowd of folks. Sounds like a magical experience indeed. Peace and happy future festivaling
I've had the same experience on L, where you just realize all of this anxiety and stress over things that other people think over what you believe is all emotional nonsense. Were here now on Earth and joy is the only thing that matters. It's a beautiful thing to know and I'm glad it happened because its truly an important thing. Peace
Hey goofydrummer - I compleatly agree... I use to love L when I was younger... it acctaully taught me so much too... I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for that gift... You know, as well as enjoying people.. I have also developed an enormous love for art now... (never had that before). PS: Hey, are you really a drummer... I play bass.
Hey guys... Found one really awesome pictures of the woods... uploaded it to my profile... (you can't miss it, as its the only good one of the place @ night ) Peace Soc
