My Trip Year.

Ya, it seems that with the right things, the whole could be more than its parts. The rc's are new to me so I've been seeing what they are like on their own, the only combo I've done is I and E in equal parts. I'm not too big on I, so I thought i'd see if it was improved in combo with E. Which, sadly it's not. (for me)
I have zero interest in mixing anything with my fave, cid. But some concoction may interest me someday. dunno.

 

My only experience at a music event on acid was half a tab. I wanted to be fairly functional. but it was a full-on, if subdued, psychedelic experience. One of the greatest times ever. Of course that was a Dead show. I also ate molly with it around 6 hours in. I would only trip at big events where you have a tent though. That way you have a womb to hide in, earplugs, headphones. I think I chilled at the tent mostly till post-peak.

A more practical idea ?: trip out at home till the peak is over and have a pre-planned music club to go to with a trip sitter. psytrance, jazz club, whatever. If it suits you maybe try a bigger event. My only reservations about events on acid is the peak portion. After that it's hard to imagine a place not to belong.

One more thing: if a wise man can see the universe in a grain of sand, I think a psychonaut can watch media and not consider it wasted trip

 

i think it's fine to trip at a music festival. but i suppose the festivals i go to don't even qualify as real festivals. they are tiny. and having a tent as a "safe zone" is good. my brother took LSD as his first ever trip at a small festival, and everything was awesome. of course, it's NOT the best setting for it, and you can kinda decide once you're there if it's too crazy.

holler!

for what it's worth, i think twice a month is kind of a lot
i've tripped that often for a few months though, so i can relate. i think even once a month is kind of a lot, for an entire year. but i guess for the last 3 years or so i've tripped at least an average of once a month. it is all relative though like you said. but there's always gonna be HFers who trip more than you, so that can't be your excuse!


for my "trip year"...i guess i went pretty hard in 2009 and 2010. last year i dropped acid 8 times, 2ce 5 times, took mushrooms twice, brokethrough on salvia and tried 4acodmt. most memorable trips were LSD with my love and our friends in the woods, LSD with my brother at the festival, 2ce at Minus the Bear, and 4 hits of white blotter in February that was one of my strongest trips ever. and of course salvia was pretty fuckin memorable. 17 trips.

2009 - i had just got 2ce in nov '08, so i was kind of abusing it. did it 5 times in nov and dec. and 10 times throughout 2009. scored acid for the first time in a long time at a festival that july, and dropped L there and 5 more times (saw two bands on it - Silversun Pickups and El Ten Eleven). saw Avatar in Imax on 2ce! also tried 2cb twice that year, but it was kind of a dud. 18 trips total, not counting two failed attempt at snorting 2ce.

so far in 2011, i've dosed 8 times, but only really tripped ~5 of them (3 on 2cb, twice on L) also tried MDMA and mescaline for the first time (150 mg and 525 mg "dirty" acetate) and had a dud with 27.5 mg 2cb
