Hello all, first time poster. SWIM is taking acid for their third time ever and is wondering what time you guys prefer to trip at? He has only ever taken it at nighttime and is wondering how daytime tripping would compare. He understands that, yes, it depends on your company, your mood, yada yada yada but is wondering what pros and cons you've had specifically with day time and night time. Thanks, Zaij.
Nights are deeply mystical, full of wonders.....days are childlike, playful and giddy - nature truly comes to life as you bloom like the flowers, sing like the birdsong i've always liked to schedule my trip to incorporate a bit of both day and night experience - it may depend on the goal of your particular quest
Day ftw. Sunshine + acid + nature = life changing day plus you actually get to sleep when you're supposed to, so the metabolic footprint is negated
Night time. No one should really take acid when it's hot, or in a hot enviroment. Ideally it should be taken when it's cooler outside, thus night tripping would typically be better for this outlook(I know i'm gonna get disagreements here). As for day vs night, night has the benefits of freedom from society for everyone is asleep and there are no disturbances from any outside parties. The recommendation is night time. as for jet lag, trips should planned for ahead of time so one can have the time the next day to recover. If one can't afford this time then one should wait till this time is available.
I don't think I've ever taken lsd during the day, I usually drop around 2am, getting to watch the sun rise as you peak is fucking incredible.
I'm not so sure about what Shady Grove says (shouldn't take in hot environment) - what if you live in Houston? Cool is better, but hot is fine. I said above that it's good to experience at different times. Same for different places & physical & social environments.
the advantage of day time is being able to see people, or nature, during its most active time. i think it can give more insight on the relationships between things. i've found nighttime to be more introspective since you have less distractions so you can go deeper into your mind.
i think day time when your went to learn about the world, and night time if you want to learn about yourself.
Day, because I like night trips as well, but the beauty of nature comes out in greater abundance during the day than night.
That's not my advice but I will explain. In India many different kinds of natural psychedelics are used by yogis even hash is quite popular. This advice is given in one of Ram Dass's writings, it is an idea of the maharaji given to Ram Dass by one of his disciples. Do whatever you would like and I understand you live in a hot enviroment but these are just recommendations from a spiritual standpoint and I understand some if not most people don't use acid for spiritual purposes so really all the power to you. Just shedding what little knowledge I have to all of you.
Well... experienced trippers trip in the desert (burning man). That's pretty damn hot, and I will be tripping in the desert at some point before I go out. It would be an amazing mystical experience that is incomparable to other environments. As long as you're drinking water heat is all good.
like I mentioned, It's not my idea. Experience does not equal spirituality. Enjoy the desert because I bet it's freaking awesome(seriously, no sarcasm at all). I really want to go, but I'm not sure I would trip the first time I went there because I am not as used to that enviroment as other people, but I hear it's beyond beautiful.
