Trip sitting

So a friend who has never had any previous experience with psychedelics has asked me to be his trip sitter for this weekend. I have never done this so any tips you guys have so I don't screw it up royally?

 

just keep him in a good mood.. convo with him.. help change his settings when need be.. and just be able to help talk him down if he has a bad trip.. basically you are there just to make sure nothing happens and that his mind stays focused on the positives

 

^^^yeah in my experience as a trip sitter your there more for company than anything. also its good to have someone sober to drive, make food, etc things that are difficult when your really fucked up.

 

the main task of the sitter is to prevent/escape a bad trip.

if stuff goes bad, either hold a conversation, change the scenery, or et a music/movie going

 

other than the above, i would say to try and act like you're just hanging out. try not to be too involved in his trip, unless needed.

i assume you guys are pretty good friends and that you have experience with psychedelics. if so, you should be good.

what's your friend trying?

 

also, dont be a dick and try to "trip them out". Just smoke some weed, and hang out for the day, playing vieo games, movies, music, and talking

 

Yep yep pretty much what everyone else is saying. Just pretty much go along with whatever the person tripping is doing and try to convince them that they are going to be okay and to change the trip if it starts going bad. And I am also curious on what they are trying...

 

He took 20mg of 2c-e since from personal experience it seems like it wants you to have a good time

 

did he have a good time?

did you trip with him or were you a sober sitter?

 

advice to all - don't try trip-sitting when you are tripping yourself.
it doesn't work and can make you question yourself and effect the flow.

 

I was a sober sitter and my friend enjoyed himself immensely

 

^good show.

next time, maybe both of you can share an experience, if you are confident to be on your own or find yet another person to sit.

 

This is going to sound weird but I personally do not like to have a trip sitter the first time I experience a new chemical.

I will tell my friends to call me every so often, but I find I'm better able to handle things introspectively if things turn bad.

After I know what my reactions will be I do like having people around.

 

I am just the opposite I like to have a lot of friends around the first time and then be alone after I know what effects it has

 

im in the same boat with ya here. i like to experience a chem myself first so i know wat to expect. after those first couple trial i take to a new level with ppl.

 

exactly, i want no distractions. the only psychadelic i would never want to do alone is LSD. Lasts too long to be without company

 

i can understand trying a new chem alone, but it's always more fun with a friend or two...

 

make sure you keep them calm if all hell breaks loose and dont ask them anything that requires them to do something alwauys do the labor for them? if tht makes sence. just hangout with them and if they go wondering follow lol

 

whenever i trip (on anything) i prefer just having one other person with me. (who is mature enough to actually sit back, and enjoy the trip *quietly*)
that way with just one person, dont get so lonely and you can actually have a good, indepth trip. whereas when there are multiple other people i am bombarded with "omg, you can believe what just happened!"
