How often do you trip ?

Hiya folks Well i was just wandering on average how many times in a month do you trip ? Is there a recommended number of times to trip in a month, it just got me wandering because does it take the magic away doing it to much (though i doubt it) lol but i dont know.

Im getting the overall concensus from what ive read that once every couple of weeks is pretty much the best way so do you guys think this is true. So ive got to admit i like the inebriated state pretty much but cant be bothered with alcohol anymore and my old fail safe valium is a no go plus i dont smoke weed so in these circumstances how do you get rid of the cravings to get wasted inbetween your trip days.

I know theres plenty of other highs i can try so what would you recommend for filler inbetween my trip days. I was looking at pre rolled joints on a head shop site the other day but i cant remember what the stuff was, i think it was the stuff they make indian peace pipes from. Anyway something that would chill me out every alternate weekend except weed because i cant stand the stuff.

Sorry i realise thats more than one topic, feel free to ignore bits if you want

 

:santa1:

 

Between trips: hookah tobacco and/or kratom.

kratom is very pleasant to chill out on.

As far as how often to trip, don't go by any sort of consesus or average you are noticing here. Go by what feels right to you, that could be 24 trips a year or it could be 2.

 

hey largeamount of shit if you dont like my threads dont read them instead of making stupid little post titles like that, grow up

 

When I am able, I trip 2-4 times per week. That's definitely not the average though, since I go through long periods where I just don't have the opportunity or the time to trip. Right now, for example, I haven't tripped for a couple of months, and I haven't tripped multiple times within a week for a year or so.

I think "too often" depends on the individual. You just have to find what's right for you. Nobody else can tell you what's right or wrong for you.

 

it depends on what's in stock...this summer i've probably averaged once or twice a week

when school's in, i trip much less frequently...maybe once a month

 

Depends on what type of footwear I'm using.

 

I'm assuming you all are referring to acid trips?

I don't know if you refer to DXM as a trip, I always have, but I've done it 4 times over the course of about 7months. Of course, DXM must be spread out further than LSD for obvious health reasons.

 

I wasn't referring to LSD, personally. All of my acid trips have been months/years apart, unfortunately. I was referring mainly to RC's; especially 2ce.

 

i was talking about mostly rc's, with the occasional mushroom trip, and periodic MDMA. i rarely use lsd.

 

yeh just whatever your sacrement is really

 

lets see,

33 years since my psychedelic cherry got popped
roughly accurate estimation of 300 psychedelic experiences in that time inclusive of all substances used

300/33=9.0909090909090909090909090909091
trips a year averaged over my lifetime up to and including the LSD I am currently under the influence of.

Oops, it's actually been 34 years so the adjusted number of trips per year averaged over my lifetime up to and including the LSD I am currently under the influence of is 8.8235294117647058823529411764706

 

lol

 

LOL, PB_Smith, ever hear of the concept of "significant figures."

Ignoring averages, i am with querillabedlam. No scheduled, but i try to listen to "the call." Some call it "the shaman's call," but not being comfortable with that term personally, i prefer just the call or call to trip.

For me, it comes in waves, sometimes following festival schedules, sometimes not. Overall, in terms of trends, here's what i've noticed:

LSD: Approximately 5 times a year
MDMA: Approximately 2-4 times a year, absolute max
Mushrooms: i quit taking them, but back when i was a student under their tutelage it was like maybe 12 times a year.
Various RC's: Approximately 8-10 times a year.
DMT (smoked): Frankly, as frequently as possible. It is my main sacrament. i would vape it daily if i could. i do it a couple times a week, rather faithfully, but i have been known to take 2-10 weeks off.
DMT (oral): Used to be about 6 times a year. After getting thoroughly ass-kicked on 4.5 grams of Syrian Rue & 135 mg of freebase DMT, i must i cannot currently face my pharmahuasca fears, he he.

Peace & Love,

Brrrrp!

 

What, my figures are significant. I just wanted it to be an "all encompassing" number. In reality that included about a 12-13 year break except weed.
Plus it's a perfectly acceptable LSD influenced answer.

Dang Woman! You are for sure a star trek psychonaught "Boldly going where no one has gone before"
It is always reassuring in an odd way to hear that even the exquisitely experienced in the world of psychedelics such as yourself can still get your ass-kicked hard enough to put the "fear" into ya. I can totally relate.

But let me ask this as I'm sure you have asked yourself, is it a fear of the experience or what you were shown in the mirror during the experience that has you reluctant to go there again?
For me it is usually what I saw in the mirror.

 

This. I usually get a window of time, maybe 1-2 weeks at a time were I feel it's "right" to trip. Sometimes, I go weeks or even months where I'm just not feeling it. Unfortunately, those windows of good mindset need to coincide with my "real life" schedule in order for the trip to happen. If I'm in a good mindset, but know I don't have enough hours to devote to a trip, then it has to wait until next time. Sometimes vice versa. Mostly, this means I don't get to trip nearly as often as I'd like to.

Before February of this year, I hadn't tripped at all on anything (just smoked weed and drank) for about 5-6 years. Not because I didn't want to, I just kind of lost all my old connections and put it out of my mind for that period of time. This year, my interest was reignited and I've probably tripped about 20 times since February (if you count Methylone and Salvia) but they've been spread out more and more lately. I'm definitely going to try and get in at least 3 more trips before the summer's out. I have some combos to try and unfinished business to attend to.

My most recent trip was my first time with LSD this past Friday. I always feel antsy to trip again in the week following regardless of substance, but I try to give myself time for my brain chemistry to reboot and to avoid tolerance buildup.

 

To Spicey Cat - I also have no "trip schedule." It's when it calls. I did my first three dxm experiences within 2 months of each other, and the fourth came about 3 months later. Give or take a few months, it's hazy. Lol. Or have I done it 5 times? I can never remember.

 

For me usually a few times a year, or whenever something comes around. It has been just under a year since I last tripped Though i'm alright with that, Lucy will show her face again sooner or later..or maybe the fungi

 

Great question. Honestly, i'd say it was the mirror - i was someplace i did not want to be and something was coming for me i didn't want to face, he he. i think i could face that place today, as DMT has (without my even trying or aiming for it - typical) cured my insect phobia.

But, it was also the high dose. i am free to admit that i am endlessly fascinated by DMT but run into the fear/panic wall quite frequently when i take breakthrough doses. This experience was like a 2 hour breakthrough dose and then more hours returning to baseline. The increase in bp/heartrate are tough on me mentally and encourage panic. It was like a breakthrough but without a body launch and the body load was "suffocating," he he.

Typical issues for me, "i can't breathe!" which i have done A LOT of work on and even counsel others on now. i have learned more about how to breathe abdominally and how to just surrender completely even to "death" or "suffocation." (Oh, and for you hardcore Grof fans, my birth was vaginal, smooth, quick and uneventful . . . go figure.).

i WILL take pharma again and probably even ayahuasca someday, i know this for a fact. But, just like waiting for any psychedelic call, i am unable to put a timeline on it. i sincerely hope it will NOT be 20 years as i don't have time to waste. But, i accept whatever comes along these lines and have learned a lot about trusting my self and subconscious.

Gads! Rant, rant, rant. What a huge ego i have. Wish i could activate the "Journal" section in my personal page here. . . .

Peace & Love,
Spicey Cat
Brrrrrp!

 

I tend to take LSD about once a month. I would take it a bit more often, but due to my location, its kind of difficult to get. In between that though, I enjoy smoking some green. Not too much because you do not want to find yourself addicted, but just enough to where everything is too near perfect.

The wonderful thing about lucy is that each trip has always something new and exciting in store. With marijuana, it's always kind of the same high, nothing new to look forward to, but it gets the job done. Drop some once a month with some smoking sessions is the way to go.
