Okay, so this will be the second time I trip. I wanted to catch the fireworks this year, and it's right on the beach. So my plan is to get there early maybe noonish, dose around 2pm, maybe 4pm, trip during the day AT the beach, bring food/drinks, watch the fireworks at night (would still like to be tripping for this), and then go home. So my question will be, I'm assuming alot of people will be at the beach, trying to get their early for the fireworks and what not would anyone see this as an inappropriate setting? Anyone have any stories about watching fireworks while tripping?
second trip.. its kinda hard to say.. i would have probably wanted to be around friends.. not around a crowd of people.. but, i personally never want to be around a crowd of people when youre high, are you talkative and social?.. if you are, then tripping in society, amongst fireworks would probably be orgasmic in general, for best results tho i recommend minimal human contact, really. interact with people that are well experienced in GOING with the flow[in conversation, finding activities, letting you explore your mind] let your mind create the best movie you have ever been a part of
I'll be with 1 friend. Most of the day I just expect to zone out, with my music, and stare at the clouds. "Go with the flow" rather than last time where I felt I needed to do so many things. I'll have sunglasses on so for all most will know I'll be sleeping lol. I will admit this time around I'm less scared/nervous, as I know what to "expect" and I know at the end of it, I'm still me. Contact shouldn't be a problem, I'm just not sure about all the people around me. But then I should keep reminding myself, no one will know what's going on in my head.
What Arthur said pretty much covers it. I would only suggest that if you want to experience the fireworks to the fullest potential of the psychedelic, don't dose until more like 4-5 in the afternoon. Dosing at 2 would have you on the way down before the fireworks even start, assuming that it won't even be dark until 8 or so. IF it is any of the LSD that has been going around, keep in mind some out there is VERY POTENT, and if it's a new batch for you, proceed with a little caution in public. Given this is your second journey, wouldn't want you to be surprised and overwhelmed among a lot of strangers in a public place.
yea man, it sounds like you need to have a few more trips in a more secluded enviroment before you go to something out in public. even the public event doesn't really sound like a very tripping-inducive enviroment. every time i've tripped in public it's been at a festival or concert. i'd suggest just not tripping at this event, and doing it in a more personal enviroment perhaps with a friend or two.
Take only 1 hit. Expect the social pressure around you to hit some (unless you're REALLY good at blocking it out). Don't take a second hit till later (like say at 8PM, you find out you'll just be chilling with friends the rest of the time, and you don't have anything else to worry about). I would dose 4-5 hours before the fireworks. Re-dose if you want it and the night proves to be solitude and peaceful enough that a 2nd hit won't break you, but decide that 2-3 hours tops after the first hit. Enjoy. Don't get retarded until you have an environment that can catch, cushion and push along your state of mind into beneficial motions...
I understand what you're saying about being in public. But last time I felt so trapped in doors. Not only would I be on the beach, toes in the sand, and watching the waves/clouds, I'll also get to witness the magical display of fireworks. Mmmmmmm. 4-5pm sounds good. Last time I tripped I couldn't sleep until 12hrs after I dosed. Was a VERY long day. I will dose at the beach, and I'll just sit there/lay in there with my sunglasses, and zone out with some music. It's not like I'll be walking down the street, or wandering the park lol. If things get too "out of hand" I'll have my friend bring me somewhere else.
For all curious, I took 2 to 2 1/2 and the amount of people there didn't affect my trip. My favorite part was when the fireworks were going off, and I had my headphones on. A grateful dead song came on (I really should have copied down the name of the song) it seemed to flow perfectly with the fireworks. I honestly paused it 2 times because I thought for sure I wasn't wearing headphones and the music was just blasting from speakers some where. I felt like I was the only one there. Although, near the end of the trip, I got my ass kicked. I ended up crying. I was laying in the back yard looking up at the stars (one star for whatever reason seemed to be looking right at me the whole time) contemplating the meaning of life, and I just started crying. (I also, while looking at the stars, they seemed to change into numbers, and numbers were just popping up all over the place, and then the stars began to move around in different shapes. I was kind of freaked out because I know deer and other animals roam around at night, so I went inside. I will be taking a break until certain things in my life change. I feel like acid/shrooms make me look at my life in a different way. I can't hide from my feelings on them like I can when I'm sober, so it kicks me into gear to make a change for the better. I will be back lucy!
Yes, this is true PB. It definitely helped me see things I repressed in order to remain "happy" but, now I'm happy without having to hide negatives in my life.
