High on a plane?

I would like to say that I don't believe that the setting/environment is necessarily important to have a good or bad trip. I think it's all in the mind although the kind of stimulation is important. Perhaps I could wear an eye mask and tune into music...or watch outside the window (if I can). Maybe I should decide after I know how the sitting arrangement will be (a window seat would be ideal). Like I said, I can stay under control and still grasp reality when I am under the effects of things. I'm pretty certain I'm not going to freak out and try to open the cabin doors.....Perhaps I could even write or draw... maybe I can be an interesting learning experience.

 

Obviously from the posts, some have to learn this the hard way Raga :2thumbsup:

 

Perhaps you are right

 

I disagree. That's why Dr. Leary et al have always said "set and setting" not just "set". It's a real thing, not kidding.

 

I think the key is relaxation, as in many situations on LSD.

It's hard to simply be calm because you want to, in such a situation-however, the "control" approach will NOT work..... Trying to control acid will lead to a panic and the realization that you have NO control, over acid, life, you own mind, or even body.....

It would probably be easy on a hunter S thompson style binge..... After a while you simply get used to seeing and feeling things, like how if you never smoke pot and go in public high, everyone knows (or seems to) and you're terrified and fuck everything up, while if you do all the time it's a cakewalk and you stop caring.

 

Yeah a plane is basically a setting where almost everything you would want to do is prohibited: that's why the control factor is so important and would be so troubling on cid.

By far the best setting for psych's is one with a wide range of options, relatively few restrictions, and no judgments for any given behavior you might want to try. <--aka, not a plane.

 

Some of the movies played on airplane flights might be enough to throw you into a bad trip.
