What you like about day tripping as opposed to night? I'm a night person so always started doing my shit when the sun went down! wether it be acid or e or any party drug. All the times i've done it was at night. I would think the sun would kind of bug me during the day.
You miss a huge amount of visual activity and beauty at night. It's still great and all, but you're missing out if you don't do it during the day. "day tripper" is not some sort of statement about when you trip, it's a tongue-in-cheek insult, like someone who's just in it for the trendwhoring, like a tourist, the kind who goes on day trips on like a guided tour or something.
I started out with mostly night trips but my past couple have been day trips, and they have been pretty stellar, I like them about equally. Some of the reasons I prefer day trips is it gives me a full day of recovery, which I need now and is often about all I get with work and such. I also find the day turning into night as the trip starts to settle a very interesting dynamic, conversely I find the sun coming up pretty amazing as well when I trip over night. For day trips, I usually choose to surround myself by beautiful scenery, so the backdrop of trees, streams, rocks, parts of nature seem so vibrant and lively during the day.
I prefer night trips and I would disagree with roor about losing visual activity. It depends if you want the visuals to involve objects around you or if you want them more entirely created in your mind. I personally find the stars to be magnificent on LSD. I would say I enjoy the feeling of looking into space to looking at clouds. Also where I live the streets aren't sketchy at night, so I find that if you want to avoid people while tripping but still be outside, the night is the time. Also, lava lamps, laser lights, black light posters, and other various trippy toys and lights are better at night. I find that listening to music in a dark area (preferably outside on a warm night) is my favourite trip. For me, my night vision is improved on LSD, and the blanks that my eyes leave are filled in by my overactive tripping brain. This causes more of a surreal experience for me, the light usually makes things too 'real'. EDIT: tripping at night DOES throw off the sleep schedule a bit. What I try to do is take a nap the day of dropping, then drop at 6-8pm (sunset is nice to also see) and then I trip and at the end I vaporize a lot of weed so I can fall asleep wherever I am. I then will try to sleep until noon. Then I live out that day and then toke heavy again to fall asleep early that night. I can use weed to get enough sleep at the right times to maintain a good sleep schedule. I also find that smoking weed the next day for sleep purposes causes a mild trip that is fun to paint/draw/make music to until sleep occurs.
I personally like the night, getting lost in the dark wilderness for 4 hours while tripping will grow hair on your chest. Your mind will fill the voids of darkness
I feel like both have there own qualities to be explored. Maybe the answer to whether it should be a day or a night trip can be more determined by asking a few questions. First off, what time of day do you have open? How much of the substance you have? What is the setting? Are you alone in deep introspection, or with friends out in nature? These are all factors they play into whether you want to take either of the trips. Ill explain a little of both. Night: If you look traditionally ceremonies which include psychedelics, especially ayahuasca and salvia rituals, and I think even mushroom rituals are all head at night. Night time is more the time for the introspection. I feel that you can go a lot deeper in the night time. Something about now the day is ended, your body and mind know work is no longer needed, it switches into that mode for now its time for me to let go of day, unwind, and relax. I feel this is the time for the large doses, the ego deaths, the big shabang! In the night time, there is not as much outer stimulation coming in. Your visuals start to come out of your own mind more. You sink deeper into that inner world. You are closer to the dream state and the sleep state. This plays a big part in what you are experiencing. And then just on a more practical note, the colors are gonna have different hues then in the day time. Things like watching movies, or late night adult swim are more enjoyable. Music is better because you are more relaxed. Not to mention, going to a show a night, and dancing the night away, amazing! Day: Day is more for the exploration of nature. In night you learn of the heavens, in the day you learn of the earth. You work is still in progress, you body and mind are used to working through the day. Everything is alive and awake and buzzing. Nature walks, group trips, or even just exploring your backyard is great in the day. Low doses can be quite pleasant in the day time, since you can still function, but have a heightened sense of reality. Visuals are very bright, and play of the environment around you and are organically intertwined. You can still have very deep trips in the day time, but it will be a different kind of experience then the night time. Depending upon your dosage, the day time can be very progressive. I love the woods or walks around the neighborhood. There is always something magnificent and marvelous to see. A group of friends and I once witnessed a tree bloom its bright red pedals all at the same time. We had all scene it but had no idea whether it was the mushrooms or real. I have gonna back and forth many times and I still can't pick a favorite. They are both part of this wonderous experience. Both I pick both!
I think I just read that part of the good things about night time tripping is movies and adult swim....... Yeah, I'll take the day
^haha then you read the most meaningless part. You missed everything about introspection and the relaxation from the day being over helping you go deeper into the experience.
looks like i'm going to have to try it in the day soon At least the high of it, usually the comdown is during the day but never the peak. i'll wait for a warmer weekend though!
My first time was a night trip, and it was absolutely amazing however afterwards I have always preferred daytrips, so i can be more with nature and the weather is nice and hot so i can go outside
I remember dosing and going to Quiznos with my cousin, I couldn't stop laughing once I saw how incredible the sky, clouds and sunshine looked. good times :sunny:
I am usually a night tripper by necessity (parents who send me to rehab for psychedelics) but there are distinct advantages I find with night tripping. I find the sunrise a plus, the quiet outside is serene and the privacy is helpful. However, I have enjoyed day tripping because of the convenience of stores being open, the entertaining qualities of other people (facial expressions, interesting interactions, and general quirks) and the enhanced visual stimulation. In the case of DMT, I always prefer night because darkness enhances visuals. For ketamine, I find the time of day has never mattered. In surmise, night all the way!
As much as you may think this is true, SAYING it will MAKE it true. How many time have you tripped at night and how many bad trips have you had? I personally don't think I've had a bad trip, but my view could be skewed.
