One Shiva

Acid fucked me up big time. LOL

 

Downtown toronto is amazingly fun on acid...for me atleast.

 

Much prefer high park

 

Yea whens the 3 or 4 hit trip going down? With molly your just going to be a puddle of euphoric liquid!

 

acid is far too out there for me to enjoy it in the confines of 'sober society'. my best experiences have always been in a safe indoor environment where i can completely let go and let the currents take me out to see.

I just realized I've never done LSD in nature, the whole trip from start to finish :O this must be fixed. I'm thinking a morning trip at the river. 3 shivas :drool5:

 

My next trip is going to be outside during the day.

My first time it was 8pm before it started to kick in, and by then it was getting dark, and I felt "trapped" and not able to go out and enjoy my surroundings.

I'm thinking 2 weeks from now

I see your "mood" has changed from never coming back to wanting to trip outdoors lol.

 

Everybody read that comment and didn't read the comment right after it, where i said i know i can keep all these things in my life, just need to improve how im dealing with certain shit i've been neglecting. This has remained strong, as it's just plain fact. I can only avoid it through immaturity, though sadly I do have an awfully large reservoir of that, I hope it is outmatched by wisdom and growth.

I hope when I'm 50 I'm logging on to HF3.0 with my nanobots in my skull and posting a TR about how I just did 4 Hussein blotters (the overlord of New Terra).

:sifone:

ps. the only time i would recommend acid at night in nature is during the winter, if you have snow where you live. Wow. "The Tomb of God".

 

When I was outside, all I wanted to do was like run around through the wet grass and lay in the grass looking at the stars. Then the person I was with wanted to go inside, and I just followed (she was sober) cause I was scared she'd leave me.

Anyways, here's to a great trip next time Writer, for both of us

 

I prefer doing psychs at night myself for a variety of reasons, one of the main ones being that the phone seldom rings at 2 am and nobody is going to be knocking at your door.
But as I have already said elsewhere, for the most part my journeys are taken with headphones on and eyes closed anymore. I've kind of gotten away from the "party" mode of psychs, although I am going to try to go to the desert sometime this summer with a friend. His band often participates in desert fests, and he always brings about an ounce of shrooms.

Last summer when I drank some cactus potion I did it in the early afternoon and ended up spending about 5-6 hours in my backyard, although I was far far away internally.
Doing them at night for me having a wife and kids affords me more control over the setting with everyone tucked away in bed. I would rather that I was the only one here, but that doesn't happen often. Tripping outdoors in an all natural setting is great, but I've only been able to do that a few times.

The real challenge for a psychonaut is to take a strong journey all by yourself with eyes closed. No hiding from yourself or distractions to divert your attention. But those admittedly can be pretty hard journey's as you sort through the stuff that comprises you.
I'm sure you can relate Mr. Writer.

"The fleas cling to the golden fleece hoping they'll find peace
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid
There's no hiding in my memory
There's no room to avoid"

"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out"

 

PB, the only thing I disliked about my trip at night, was I woke up around 10am that day, and dosed at 7 and it didn't kick in for an hour or so, and I was up until 7am, so I was exhausted, physically and mentally.

I'm going to try and take around 11am next time.

What I like about the day is I feel more "free" to walk around, rather than at night I may look more like a creep. But night also has the stars, and the sounds of crickets are always peaceful. Day has clouds, and birds, so it's really a toss up lol.

 

I like to walk around when I'm tripping as well.
I walk around the corridors of my mind.
But that is just where I am at this point in my life.
If you continue to use psychedelics for years as I have, over 30 years thus far, your desires and the things learned will be completely different for you than they are now. I guess that goes without saying, but often people don't get that as you grow and change in life so does the nature and content of your journey's.

Hell, in the time from my last run-in with Lucy and finding a source for mushrooms and trying cacti, 10 years had passed and in that time kids have grown and moved out, and another one was born, my mother died, my mother-in-law had died. All those life changes brought a whole new set of rules and conditions to the game of psychedelics.

I always get a good laugh out of folks who say "I've done LSD 10 times and feel it has nothing more to offer me." We've all heard such remarks before. That is absurd because a psychedelic experience is 95% you and your life experiences to date and 5% whatever chemical you ingested.

 

so have you not done L in 10 years, PB?

i can take and enjoy acid at any time of day or night
i usually dose in the late afternoon though, so i get to trip during the light and dark. tripping when snow is on the ground is certainly awesome, but i'm also glad summer is here for a few months.

i'm not sure if i've ever taken acid on a winter night, but i know i've taken 2ce. i think it goes great with snow

 

there is strong L both liquid and paper out there this summer.

be careful folks. when they say one is enough, one is enough lol.

 

summer + night = mosquitos :leaving:

Oh I can relate PB, especially with those lyrics. Sometimes you just feel like a fly on a windshield with acid.

 

My first trip was in Olympic National Park. Outdoors has a lot of stories to tell.

 

I read and comprehended your whole comment.

I'm curious how you recommend without having done, (trip outside)?

 

That's correct. I wasn't looking for it either. During that time I went probably 3 years without doing anything, even drinking. Thats life.
Actually I think long breaks have helped me to grow and learn more about it and myself then if I was doing psychedelics all along. I was focused on family more during that time. Now that my kids are older and those responsibilities have shifted I found myself wanting to revisit the experience again and see how those life experiences interpret from a psychedelic journey.

When I was young as a lot of you are, I did acid quite a bit, maybe a couple of hundred times or more during a 5-6 year period. After that I did it about 8-10 times over a decade. Then my hiatus from all substances.

I will say though that my experiences with LSD have been some of the most important and life changing, easily in the top ten. I always thought about those experiences and all those years were a part of integrating them into my life in a productive manner. Lack of availability has been the main reason I haven't done it in the last few years, but I'm hopefull with the reports of fresh supplies coming from all over.

You see, you don't just end a trip and then take a day or two to integrate it, it is really an ongoing process. I still encounter situations and emotions that cause me to recall my psychedelic experiences and learn something new from them, even 30 years later.
You will understand better what I am saying as you grow and your life progress's. Some things only become discernible from a distance, whether it be a distance of space or one of time.

I hope you don't think that my hiatus from psychedelics of that long invalidates what I share in these forums, I know some individuals would think that, but if that is the case then they truly don't "get" what the experience is about.

Like I said, psychedelic experiences are 95% your life experiences, 5% chemical effects.

 

I knew you would, I knew you would.
So in your most recent journey were you able to pick off a few fleas?

 

My first acid trip ever I did indoors largely, except when the party was over and I was dropped off at home, and went for a walk outside with music at 2 am on a warm winter's night with a foot of fresh snow covering everything. I overdosed on sparkle.

PB I totally agree about the 95/5. That's why a lot of people take LSD many times and never get a damn thing from it. It's more about the person taking it.

I learned a lot, and I'm still in the afterglow.

 

And I'm sure you will revisit that one trip many times in the years to come.
I have learned that sometimes what we are shown by these experiences doesn't make sense at present, but will as time progress's.
