Top Ten Things To NEVER Do While Tripping

haha yea thats the trip

 

If walking along the beach at night, don't edge your way to the ocean while the tide's coming in so you can "touch" it. Everyone's boots get ruined.

 

don't judge it. just be it.

 

what does that have to do with this thread

 

Don't think about your regular obligations, you can do that next day.

 

thats mentioned in the Top Ten Things To Forget While Tripping

 

I forgot

 

Never try to act completely stone cold sober, it'll be way too obvious, especially if you overact.

On a side note, never dose at lunch at high school then realize you actually need to pay attention to the next class in order to finish senior year.

 

Double post, grrr.. stupid phone

 

Dont sneak into a unknown persons garage at 3 in the morning and take their chainsaw and go on their front lawn and start it.

 

hehehehehe that's so funny. what happened after?

 

the only way Ive ruined trips is by thinking too much about it and not simply enjoying that wait - the ultimate spiritual reality is simple existence without ego

 

Pull into a petrol stn to get something (i can't remember what) only to see a coupla cops talking to the night attendent through the kiosk window then panic and drive off and spend the next 1/2 hr. saying 'are they following us'

 

Hmm my one suggestion would be: do not handle firearms...

 

God, i'm flashing back to a Further Festival where there was a guy nearby who had had WAY too much of something/everything - my guess was a potent brew of maybe LSD/alcohol/cocaine. Difficult to tell. What not to do? EVERYTHING this dude did:

First he's singing along and screeching and tearing off his clothes - thrashing all over the place, yelling, "I WANT TO STAY HIGH FOREVER!" His "buddies" are backing away and laughing.

Next he starts pulling on his cock in a very radical and violent manner, such that the 50 year old nurse (a DMT friend of mine!) was alarmed that he would do permanent damage to his junk.

He starts thrashing around radically and bumping into people around him. Not cool, but Further Festival folks are loose and flexible. But, it's when he outright and rudely knocks over the small stature, thin as a beanpole and looking fragile as glass, young woman. Not cool. Even more not cool: His friends up and bail. They are out of there, as they know there will be no chance controlling him and they don't want to be part of the scene.

Pretty soon, two giant, beefy, RANDOM dudes (not security or rock med) just tackle this guy and bring him to the ground. Within a minute, they are handing him off to Rock Med.

What truly sucks is how behavior like this has an incredible ripple effect on everyone in the immediate area. i was tripping on 50 mgs of 2CB and finding myself making fight/flight plans if this guy got too close. My husband, not on drugs, was doing the same thing. i was literally making plans on how to pick up the blanket and gather everything up in one fell swoop so that we could boogie quickly. i was also reviewing some physical fighting techniques i knew and was getting ready to deck the dude if he even "accidentally" bumped into me. Definately put a sideways turn to my trip and i'll bet to the trip of many others in the general area.


Every once in awhile in life, it is good to get completely uninhibited and/or to completely loose one's sense of oneself. But, i cannot stress enough how essentially important little things like set and setting as well as dosing levels and schedules can be very key factors in whether or not this is a wonderful night that everyone remembers fondly or a hellish/painful experience, the sooner forgotten the better . . .

 

Uhmm, You do understand the concept of humor don't you?
If you didn't pick up on it, this thread is intended to be a funny one, so share something funny or crazy you have seen or done.

There are other threads that deal with the spiritual, personal growth aspects of psychedelics.

 

Do not take huge K line while you are spinning on the festival.

A friend of mine - he actualy fell out of the dj box but somehow managed to mix music perfectly without fucking it up. Amazing!

 

don't go christmas shopping. just....don't.

 

first of all, i recommend you do not trip acid with your best friend for the first time while camping in the woods overnight without a trip sitter. but if you do...

do play the game where you have to set up the tent before the drugs kick in

do lay on the ground and see the trees go up for miles

do trip so hard that you continue passing the bong back and forth although it is empty until you profess, coughing, that you cannot possibly smoke any more

do drink ice cold seltzer water with the all the delicacy of fine wine

do sit in the car with the radio on scan and put your feet on the windshield and make toe prints and footprints all over

do bring a butterfly net, wave it around your head and feel its force-field

do walk on the gravel barefoot because it hurts so good

do drive home around 4 or 5 in the morning when the roads are quiet and the sun is beginning to rise

 

^^^ do not make your first post while high on crack .
