Scheming

Okay so last sunday, me, and 3 other people took 2 hits of lucy each. 2 or so hours into the trip everything was great, we were all laughing our asses off, and I was sure it was going to be a great trip. However things turned rather sloppy fairly quickly. We were "disturbed" by a rather angry nontripper who came into my friends house complaining about some weed. Needless to say, he sort of startled us, took us back into reality for a couple of minutes, and completely fucked up our trip. He left, and we ended up "scheming" against each other the whole night. The only way we could explain it is, although we all knew each other, for some reason it felt like they were all strangers, like we were all in a room full of random people. It was really uncomforting, when we were peaking we would burst out random inappropriate things at each other, coming in and out of trip, then realizing what we said, telling each other " i dunno wat im talking about" but then repeating the same random outbursts. I talked to all 3 of my friends the next day after the trip, and everything is fine but they all agreed about the "scheming" feeling. They told me, they too felt like everyone was plotting against each other for no apparent reason. Anyone ever have these bad "scheming" trips? It was my first encounter and I did not enjoy it, it scared me to death.

 

That must have been a strange trip. What a selfish guy lol, didn't he realise you were all on acid? It can really affect your mentality whilst tripping when some sober person goes on at you expecting a response about something, especially if they're angry. The atmosphere after he left must have been completely altered in all your minds having his negative presence change the situation, with 3 of you just there as well it must have been particularly strange as there wouldn't have been much to distract you out of that mentality. I can kind of relate with you on that feeling, once at a mate's house party we were on a very strong trip and a few of his house mates (who weren't on acid) were getting seriously pissed off cos someone he had brought along was downstairs getting really lairy cos he was drunk, anyway they came into our little tripping room and they were saying like get your fucking mate out of our house and stuff. I was shit scared at this point cos everyone was bickering and arguing right in front of us and it was really antagonising, then when the ordeal was over and they got the guy out it left us trippers feeling pretty weird in the ways we interacted with each other, though it went after a while cos there were quite a lot of tripping and we just skinned up some spliffs and forgot about it. Well, that must have been a really bothersome and strange trip for you. At least it's a new experience, it's always good to have different experiences with acid (whether good or bad) as you come to understand the drug from many different perspectives.

 

It's easy to become really paranoid about other people when you're on L or even when you're just really high on bud, as many people would be quick to point out. The thing is, you can never really know what another person is actually thinking... you can never be really sure of a person's intentions. And fears like that can really come to the forefront of the mind when you're tripping. But, in the end, we learn from things like this. Sometimes it takes being scared of your loved ones for a minute for you loved them and trusted them in the first place. I know I became really paranoid after my first trip, but now my relationships are much better than they were at that time because I've realized that we have no choice but to love and trust our friends and family and have faith that they will treat us with the same respect.

 

Its very easy if the mood is set wrong or you are not comfortable with the trip for a friend to feel like a stranger or even a enemy. It seems to happen 99% of the time when people take hits at the wrong time in the wrong place or with the wrong people. most problums with people having bad trips are from those things. Your best bet when tripping is to get out of the public and away from society where you will not run into uncomfortable situations.

 

When I feel the "scheming" thing it's usually because it's a more paranoia-based trip where something made something about the atmosphere seem sketchy. Usually though things are alright when I'm just with a person in the convenience of their own home with nothing to worry about. I handled my last recent ego death pretty well, and it hit me hard. I hate that feeling where everything seems so dull because I feel asthough my reality was stolen from me... The visuals are cool though lol. I wasn't believing the way things were stretching and what not

 

I got really paranoid when i was really high on bud once. It was only the other day, we were out on the streets at night and i had worries about my mum calling me and being home and shit. I wasn't really paranoid about the freinds i was with, although at times i thought they were tricking me about a few things when they weren't. And I went into a pizza place and i was suspicious the ppl working there were gonnna called the cops. I had a really horrible time. it was my first time smoking weed.. Things got really slow motion and it felt like i wasnt really taking in the present tense, more like i was trapped in my paranoia. I was shaky and couldn't talk straight and worried that if my mum called she'd notice. I was walking down the road while the others skated ahead when i fully thought i saw and heard a car drive into the car park next to them and a person start screaming at tthem and really telling them off, i thought it was someone coming to take me home, but none of it happened. They were shouting across to one another. if i was in the right situation at someones house, without worries i think i would've had a better time. I'm wanting to get used to it so that in a year or two i'd be ready to do acid. I have the right reasons and if prepared well it should be okay. anyhow, just thought id share my experience on the subject of paranoia, even though we're in the acid thread.
