Forgive swim if this is not the right place for this topic, but it is the most accurate place i could find to post this. Swim was wondering if taking 2 trips in public of average potency these days would freak him out a little too much. Swim has tripped about 10 times previously at home setting with only one blotter if that helps at all?? Peace and love.
its really a personal deal, but i would say that if you're totally chill tripping so far, and if you're at least used to being around plenty of people you know and are comfortable with on a sober basis, you should be fine. but in my opinion if you think about it too much it's more likely to be a problem.
yeah dude, i think you should be fine. just make sure you don't go anywhere that there might be a lot of cops. that might start you on thinking bad ideas and who knows where that could go while your trippin. a nice secluded park or something should do just fine. i wouldn't do it by myself though, i would try to have at least one friend with me
Most generally I would say this is not the best idea even if you do feel comfortable. Acid is tricky and you may find yourself in a situation you would rather not be in. If you do really wish to trip around lots of people(i'm not sure why but SWIM has wanted to and has done it too) then I would suggest taking one blotter and cutting it in half and just functioning normally. The effects will be slight but noticeable but more likely than not you will be comfortable with the dose. Taking two in this setting without any previous experience could lead to slightly negative or negative experiences that are much more easily controlled in the home enviroment. Be cautious and take it slow is my advice... but hey what do I know...
Once you learn to be comfortable in your skin then being in a public place is generally fine. But No one is perfect. Its never good to trip in a place where you feel threatened. However, with experience and episodes of self-perception shift, one can learn to take on a range of interpersonal scenarios. I tell ya what - when i started tripping I felt overwhealmed in public situations with other sober people. IT seemed that they were all keyed in to so many threads of awareness and I felt rather 'out of the loop' and redundant. However at some point I realised that most people are themselves rendered rather powerless by their dependence on certain structures and assumptions of thought. I realised that as long as I kept my own bundle together and lived honestly, I could totally transend the strange mind-games of society, and also, with a twinkle in my eye, brighten up people's day with honest, free expression. Now being in public is great while tripping as long as I do not feel threatened by a group of thugs or something similar. I feel the way that my presence is picked up by people and the way that they interact with eachother, and the web of society seems to be a sort of tangible part of reality that I can send ripples through with different modes of behaviour.
Yeah that's the last best tripping activity bill; going to market and being a person. It blows your mind, to do the everyday mundane drudgery that you tripped to get away from. the circle turns on itself
HAHAHAHA i heard about that, all the prisoners are free'd and the doors are locked and then the music turns on....BOOM BOOM BOOM goes the bass, policemen and women strippers i can see it now....Whos got the handcuffs?:drool5:
Ive been out at a (relatively quiet) university dorm party/drink night at the end of peak/comedown of LSD, and it was somewhat difficult to interact. it can be tough keeping up with normal conversation, especially if LSD makes you really introspective
All of my trips have been in public. Alone and in groups. Never had a bad one, in fact, there's always been loads of super random stuff happening when I've tripped. I imagine sitting in a room listening to music or watching a movie would be quite boring compared to, say, sitting in a park people watching or on a beach watching the cloud and waves and all that good stuff. I think Bill is right, though. If you are comfortable in your own skin, you'll be fine tripping in public.
