Do the Seasons Effect your Trips ?

I for one can't wait for the summer to be honest. Whats your favorite season for tripping and how do the other seasons Affect your trips ?

I'm generally happier in the summer hence I'm more excited about entheogens then, I think its just because there's more stuff you can do in the summer and in the winter everything seems so cold and forbidding.

 

I love to trip in the winter time. I'm much more of a summer person than a winter person, but I'm much more reflective in the wintertime so my trips are always more spiritual. Also the stars are amazing in the winter and I can look at bare tree branches for hours, tripping or not.

Summer trips can be a little intense. I'm more focused on having a good time in the summer than self reflection so my trips aren't as coherent, and sometimes the heat and sensuality of it all gets to me so much that I end up just rolling around in the grass laughing my ass off lol. winter trips are clearer.

 

Seasons don't really have a dramatic effect on my trips. If I had to pick a favorite season I would say spring, everything is blooming and full of life which is great while on psychedelics. Summer is usually pretty good too but mainly because thats when I can go camping or like a lot of good concerts are. Sometimes it gets too hot while tripping during summer though which I dont really like on psychedelics except for ecstasy I dont mind.

I live in southern California, I dont really get snow or a real winter.

 

Seasons have an effect on everything

 

The season definately has an effect on whether I trip during the day or night, what substance I take and what I do during my trip.

Night I love for the peaceful and reflective nature it lends to the trip. During winter I don't like being outside for the whole trip for obvious reasons and if I trip during the day I usually spend most of the trip outside. So, whenever winter comes around I almost always trip at night and I tend to lean towards more introspective psychedelics. The 2c-xs or a low end dose of LSD(1-3 hits) are the most introspective for me so these are my psychs of choice. It's also hard to get ahold of more nature oriented psychs during the winter so that effects the substance I take too.

The rest of the seasons don't really effect when or how I trip, in the winter im mostly shut in but during the rest of the seasons I can do pretty much whatever I feel like doing. I tend to candyflip more often during the summer, but as far as tripping during the day or night it's about equal. The sun is wonderful, but warm summer nights are perfect for just sitting back somewhere and taking in nature.

During the fall and spring I guess I tend to trip at night because I usually have something to do during the day.

 

Nothing beats a warm winter day, all dosed up and playing in the snow.
A nice nordic ski in the bush... Oh yeah.

Been too long since I've done that. If by lucky chance I score before the snow's gone, the xcountry will totally be my plan.

 

I like winter as well. But not this winter, its break time this winter. The night sky seems much better in winter and i also focus much more on the mental part of the trip in the winter, the winter environment is just more conducive to self reflection.

My favorite time is fall, around the time the leaves change, fall sunsets are great.

The only thing i ever really want to do is lay an stare at the stars, LSD or mushrooms

90% of my trips are at night.

Seasons affect my moods so naturally they affect my trips.

 

Acid effects your trips. Seasons don't, although they may affect your trip, if that's what you mean.

 

That may be the most intelligent thing I've heard anyone say ever

 

Rofl

 

winter is great to trip in, and if you have the opportunity to trip in a snowstorm in the day. TAKE IT so much stimuli that the trip take an amazing turn. i personally am not a huge fan of tripping in the summer cuz its too goddamn hot, spring is a so so season cuz overall its a bit boring. and finally fall is probably the best time to trip and take a drive or walk through the woods

 

I think thats what OP meant, to many people miss use the word effect and affect.

Acid brings about(effects) your trips. Seasons don't, although they may move the feelings of(affect) your trip.

sounds pretty smart to me.

 

Damn homonyms!! pfft learn something new everyday

 

yeah, i was gonna say. you probably don't have seasons in california

summer was the obvious choice for tripping, but the past couple of years i have gained a respect for the winter. partly because of tripping maybe too many times on 2ce during the winter i fist got it. that was two winters ago, and i haven't been tripping as much lately. i might try to trip on 2ce during the next big snow storm.

i have had more trips during the summer for sure though. a lot of great memories.

fall is good for all the colors. and spring of the sense of renewal of life. and colors too. now that i think about it, spring is GREAT for that reason. late spring for me, because at first it's just MUDDY.

i think tripping once per season is a good idea for me.


edit: an idea?

maybe we could do something like
summer - LSD
fall - mushrooms
winter - 2ce
spring - mescaline

i only really think that for L and 2ce. shrooms and mescaline i'm not sure about

 

I like my mushrooms in the cooler times fall winter early spring, since i tend to be more laid back, but i don't limit myself to this.

I like my acid in late spring summer early fall since i like to be more active on LSD, again, i don't limit myself to this.

I like your schedule.

 

Porkstock that schedule is spot on!

 

well it can't be the only right answer. there aren't only 4 psychedelics after all. and every year can't be the same.

 

For me it would be

Spring-Mushrooms
Summer- Acid
Fall- 2-cp
Winter-Mescaline

But I doubt there could ever be a one size fits all list, I bet alot of people would find it hard picking just one psychedelic to do each season. Let alone which one it would be

 

hmm... all seasons are good really.

i've had good lsd experiences year around. although, tripping in the summer at a festival is probably my favorite. or well really there are so many cool activities that you could trip during that you could only really do during the summer. tripping in the spring is always really nice too with all the energy that accompanies the renewal of life from the winter. winter trips are nice too, a time between too much going on, seems to bring a unique quality to some trips. and fall -- tripping in the aftermath of the summer.

i don't really like to use mushrooms unless it's nice outside. i had a shitty experience one time in late fall/early winter and with how connected mushrooms are to the enviroment it just sucked since it was freezing and raining outside. but i've had great mushrooms trips in the spring. so i guess for mushrooms spring and summer are a little better for me.

90% of my trips are during the night. another interesting thing to note is the majority of my lsd trips (even though i don't plan this) are on crescent moons.

 

Funny you say this cause its the exact opposite of why i like winter. I don't like a whole lot of stimuli, just me my head and the stars, and usually someone to discuss things with.

I would pick mushrooms for every season, i mean, if i had to pick one.
