Psychdelics are my favorite type of drug besides alcohol and none of my friends like to trip anymore. I've grown PF tek shrooms that I can't give away, brew mescaline tea, and ayahuasca jello shots and can't get my friends to touch them. For them it's weed, beer and occasional pills (hydro's, xanax, soma etc). This really sucks because tripping solo is starting to get really old. Back in the late 80's I would buy sheets and sell just enough to get my money back, then it would be party time and I could go anywhere and hand out freebies to friends. I've long since lost my connections for LSD since I quit all drugs for about 12 years, and now all of my friends just stick to weed.
So trip by yourself. Solo trips are better anyway. If nobody wants to experience the psychedelia, then that's their problem. Fuck it.
none of my friends like to trip as much as me. plus i don't live near a lot of them, and it's hard to find time where our schedules match up. i first got some 2ce back in 2008, and i've only got two of my friends to try it. i can't wait to introduce some of my friends to 2cb and maybe mescaline extract.
I agree, solo trips are better. I can't stand tripping with other people because they always seem to ruin my trip, either with their stupid questions, or they start having a bad trip.
I'm the tripper, everyone else comes along for an occasional ride if I have something particularly mellow.... Fact is, most people don't like tripping very much, and everyone needs a break sometimes. (I'm talking to you, douchebags who talk about legalization making everyone trip all day)
i'm in a similar sort of situation.. i think as people grow older (what is that anyway) they seem to not like "letting go", like they need to have a certain degree of control over a situation to feel comfortable. and we all know that for a successfull trip one needs to let go and flow with what the experience has to show, if we try to control or even desire control a bad trip is just about inevitable. so i guess the knowledge apprehension of that "give the substance control" thing just turns them off.. perhaps i am wrong but that my thoughts.
I think that's what keeps a lot of people of any age from tripping. Or rather, they often prefer alcohol because you let go of caring, and so you don't care about losing control over yourself and your environment. Psychedelics make you care a lot, and lose some control. But I think you have more control, because it's just you that you're seeing. Psychedelics are not for people who like forgetting, but for people who like thinking, changing, doing, building, etc. OP, I'd trip with ya. Tripping buddies are always good(and good ones are fucking hard enough to find), and tripping buddies who dose you for free? what the fucks wrong with your friends?
I tripped on the way to the outhouse in the dark this morning.....Luckily I didn't land in the mud.....;-D
I've been doing the solo trip thing since I got back into tripping about two years ago. It's cool to do sometimes, but I miss the days when I was in my late teens and we'd all trip in a group. I've never had problems with people ruining the trip either, LSD was so common in New Orleans during the late 80's that most of the people I knew at the time were experienced trippers. I'm not really looking to do the 2-3 day binges that I used to do since I have a good job and real responsibilities now.
People who enjoy psychedelics are rare. Psychedelics activate higher brain function and most people are simply not willing to go there. They change dramatically change your life and sometimes the transitions aren't easy.
Another alternative to consider is that you're high enough to place value on baseless feelings of enlightenment. Just sayin'.
I don't always like trippin alone. If its really strong I may need a buddy to let me know I'm on acid and this aint reality! know what I mean. lol
