i've tripped a little over 10 times, and (being 15) my friends and i can't always trip wherever we want and we end up at each others houses. when we're there, my friends always put on the tv and watch it as we're tripping. when i'm on shrooms, i could care less and i love the show but for some reason when i'm on acid i hate tv and i feel like time is just being wasted as we watch the pointless box. anybody have any feelings or opinions on this?
i feel that tv brings down my trip sometimes, but i still really enjoy watching tv while tripping. especially during marathons of shows so i can watch countless episoads of the same show for 10 hours. after the first few episoads i feel very in touch with the different characters and i really get into the show. marathons rock. but im addicted to tv so i pretty much need it if im tripping alone at home.
I thought it was brilliant, the bits i saw. I cant imagine how you could just sit back and watch it. Change the channel to something with lots of visuals lol i remember having a lot of fun plugging the nintendo in and playing a couple of games jumping around back and forth. you can get some great visual effects with videogames if you control them right (games with lots of motion)
lol tv can scare the shit out of me on mushrooms, how everyones eyes get huge and red, i have to watch cartoons, because then wierd things like that can be accepted, but yeah i do like to watch tv, but only 1 or 2 shows, then i get bored and do something else
not that into TV while tripping (too hard to follow stories), although i've recently acquired a few shows on dvd that i'm interested in trying out (planet earth, clone high, etc). video games, on the other hand, can be awesome. hard as hell, and i never want to play too long (too much more productive stuff to do), but still hella fun. try super mario galaxy.
unfortunately i have no acid right now, but next time i get some i might give tv another chance. are there any particularly enlightening shows or movies i should watch? besides alice in wonderland.
i enjoy watching tv when i trip. well, more like i like to have it on in the back ground as i trip, my mind doesnt really stay focused on it for long periods of time.
I don't really like watching TV while I trip, though I'm not a big fan of tv in the first place but I don't really like movies either while tripping, though I like it more.
well i think your trip goes alot better with music...but if you want a really good trip go for a walk around your neighborhood
seriously don't waste your time on that shithead box, I can barely stand it along with the commercials sober idk how anyone does it tripping. I did it last night but the tv is so repulsive while tripping, unless im watching a phish dvd that is.
why are you guys so militant about what one should or shouldn't do while tripping? different strokes, dudes. you'd be a lot more helpful even if you just rephrased your objections: "i don't like tripping with the television, for these reasons" instead of "you should not trip with the television, for these reasons"
sorry I guess I just hate seeing people lost to such idiocy, especially since its made by the people who are clueless of anything outside of their government controlled world.
