Who has these? What is something you have to do before tripping? I smoke a bowl, do some yoga and meditate then drop. it gets me relaxed and open, no anxiety, just good juju.
drink lots of water, piss and shit, brush your teeth, take a shower, make sure you don't have any domestic issues. Nothing that'll make for a bad trip. Like getting busted while tripping. That's bad.
no rituals for me. I'll drop whenever wherever. Tripping acid doesnt mess me up so much that I feel prepping is nessecery for "most" trips. If I was dosing crystal or eating a whole bunch of paper for whatever reason, i would make sure i was in a comfortable area and had a light meal in me. I either feel it's time to trip or its not, so i don't have a ritual. If I had some wierd hard to find or rare blotter like hoffmans or vintage orange sunshine or sandoz liquid...well then I'd probably pray over them or do some other such "ritualized procedure" probably just take pictures.
I like to make sure I've got a good nights sleep first and foremost. I also like to eat something before and drink some orange juice.
i like to not eat before hand, usually get a spot ready to trip at, do some streches, meditate, then of course smoke some ganga to get the mood right.
THings to do before tripping: -Make sure my 120 GB MP3 Player has full battery -Gather 2 Gallons of Orange Juice (or more) -Acquire a Gallon of Water -Forge 3 Joints -Obtain Pack of Smokes -Bottle of Listerorine Mouth Wash (Smoking cigs while tripping makes it 200% more disgusting in my mouth, mouth wash is the cure.) -Pray to myself(God) that I will have a artistic and very active trip.
First I make sure I don't have any unfinished business. I make any necessary phone calls needed. Then I Turn OFF my cell phone (I dont have a house phone). I usually make sure to turn off porch light and lock doors. If it's a real heavy dose, I will spend some time meditating or just some deep breathing techniques to help me relax. Then I dose. During the come up, I usually clean my house. It's a great way to pass the time and it helps to divert the anxiety and pre trip jitters into a constructive activity. Plus a clean house makes me feel more comfortable and relaxed. When I'm finished cleaning, I'll take a shower if I'm not already too intoxicated to do so. Then I relax and go with the flow.
first of all, i go out of town and buy three live chickens. then, i cut off their heads one at a time every hour starting at 1:00 P.M. then after the third one is dead i pluck all their feathers and make a circle out of them, light some candles and start chanting. after i feel like i have chanted enough i boil some water and put some live frogs in the boiling water, along with all the feathers. i let it all boil for about 30 minutes, and then let it cool off and put it in a blender. after that i pour it into a glass and crack two raw eggs into the mix and then drink it all. then, i can take my acid.
Touche, ever since SWIM was graced with the opportunity to dose on crystal, SWIM takes it like it's a hobby. I believe these "rituals" are totally unnecessary. LSD is going to take you to places whether you are prepared to go or not.
i dont really have any rituals but the last couple of times ive tripped it has gone something like this: Friend A: You wanna take some acid tonight Friend B: yeah sure why not Me: Nah i really shouldnt ive taken too much recently, gotta work.... Friends A & B: Come on you'll be fine in the morning. (They go to the fridge and pull out a couple of tabs and eat them) Me: Fine if i have to. But yeah most of the time just make sure im comfortable or find somewhere interesting to go, im pretty cruisy, ill do it wherever, whenever and however much i feel like at the time.
