I am going to trip for the first time and I'd like some suggestions on what to do for fun. Should I do it at home in the city or out in the woods at camping? Can you suggest anything fun to do while tripping such as lightshows or any tricks? Thanks in advance!
I would say, be in a situation where you have the most control over your environment. This is most likely at home, where you are free to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable at any point during the trip. So you can move around if you want, or lie down, listen to whatever kind of music, or no music, have the option to be social as well as the option to be alone (this option to have alone-time is especially important and so often disregarded). You don't have to worry about being in a fun setting, the experience itself is going to be fun and rich with all sorts of insights that you are going to want to remember. I made the mistake of trying to be in "fun" situations my first few times, and it for the most part just distracts from the best parts of the experience. You will learn alot about life and about yourself so be prepared for a profound experience that best works with a flexible environment, where you can control things in accordance with the experience you are having.
then again there's the other philosophy, to push the limits of chaos and test your ability to cope. The ken kesey, hunter s. thompson, beat poet, "acid test" method, where chaos is part of the fun. I guess it depends on your personality type, but a first time user who's cautious enough to post on these forums and ask questions, would probably want to play it safe the first time around. Get your bearings, then take it to the next level, is my suggestion.
i can fuckin thrive on the chaos if im in the right mood... just pushin everythign to the complete edge and just livin in it to the person above me, if u know your ready, then u are
Make sure you're outside atleast some part of the trip, nature is beautiful, and as said before sunset and sunrize are great too. Clowds can get really interesting shapes. Tripping in woods or at the beach is good. I always like to smoke spliffs in my trip, and drawing is pretty fun while tripping too. Make sure to do it with friends, socializing and LSD-talk is great too. Just do what comes to your mind, in the trip you'll know what you feel like doing. Make sure to bring enough stuff, a trip can last long so having food is never a bad idea. Also, music is great, just listen to anything you like sober and try it in your trip.
if you do it outside in the daytime. id strongly suggest you do it away from lots of cars and streets. like deffinatly somwhere natural overgrown away from all cars and people. somwhere where you dont have a single care in the world about them, cause if you dont it will be really unsetteling, can get overwhelming. just seeing a car pass then another then another, can get really overwhelming. choose a place where you know nothing, not anything will overwhelm you . maybe its just me and my paranoa, but thats my adivce
