how do you space your trips?

[????????]

i've found that to me is enough to have one of the personal, self-oriented trips, every six months. in fact, i just had one that left me with the feeling of not wanting to do lsd again... i feel drained, but in a positive way. as in, i feel i have all my personal issues in order and going for another high dose solo trip would just be totally unnecessary and tiresome. as a matter of fact i would actually be scared if i were in such a position since i truly feel i got my things in order; what would i say when the questions arise?

and, wouldn't an ideal trip just be a one time thing? i mean ideal in the sense we talk of an utopia; a concept that in practice does not exists but it's still useful as a figure of speech. so i mean THE trip, you know, one that shakes your soul and sets you straight. a spiritual slap in the face. an experience that wakes you up so you can live as a responsible, careful, happy individual thereafter. in this way i can see that a guy who has done a lot of trips does not necessarily deserve my admiration... or well maybe it's a sign he had a lot of things to amend...

and whoa i don't dare to say such a thing as i won't trip again (i said lsd because is the most accessible one for me and the one i've used in my 5 experiences so far) but it's the way i feel now and i guess it shows i've reached a good, stable mind. let's see how i feel in six months from now!

if i were to trip now it would be out of curiosity, like trying a psychedelic distinct to lsd, or pure hedonistic purposes, which i'm not comfortable with since that's why i have cannabis anyway.

so how often do you trip?

man its been so long since ive had decent acid i barely remember.years.
a good trip leaves you euphoric but very drained. it can feel like your brain is burned. from the smallest Planck space to the whole universe and every outlying dimention in one fun packed whistle-stop tour and thinking about EVERYTHING non stop for 10+ hours can be a little too much. if its good you wont be in any hurry to do it again. for a while at least

I take it you had a good trip, Felipe! Did you take the second blotter?

Sometimes I don't trip for months, because I got enough for a while after a massive dose. Other times I won't reach that state and trip again within a few weeks. Since august I had 6 acid trips, & only 1 was deep enough (ca. 250 mics). It ended kind of bad, it felt unfinished, so I did it again the week after with a friend to finish it up and now I feel like I had enough acid for a while. I'd like to do shrooms soon, though. :wink:

I try to trip at least every three months. I never feel that I need time to digest the trip, it's just a matter of finding the time to plan the next 8 hour session. I once took a week off from work, and did three different psychedelics on three consecutive days. At the moment I'm considering having a DMT rush every morning (or evening) for a certain period of time, say two or three weeks. Not necessarily a breakthrough experience every time, but just dipping in regularly, gradually upping the dose.

Once a month is okay for me.

At the moment i am experimenting a little bit with different psychedelics, so i guess i trip at the moment 2 times a month.

Last month i tripped 3 times on shrooms, something i wouldn't normally do
'Normally' (there is no norm) I like to dive deep once every six months.
But the first trip i took last month was with a friend with whom i've never tripped before and i had trouble diving inward because our styles kind of clashed.
So i decided to take another dose a week later alone at my place, my first time in my new home without a sitter.. i learned a lot.
The last trip was more of a spontaneous event for me when another friend was planning to take them in the evening and i had some spare days.
I think i've had enough for a while now, my next one will be around spring probably..

I feel when i trip more, there is less to learn or it seems less meaningful to me.
But my latest 3 trips felt more like a continuation of a theme, and after the third it felt like i finished something, so it depends i guess. Timing means everything.
Integrating the experience means to me taking these insights, discoveries or revelations and living them in my daily existence, which may take some time.(forever)

I usually space during trips, not in between them.

At one point I thought you were rather in the range of 2 times a week. :lol:

 

[Brugmansia]

Once a month. But my substance choice varies so much that each substance gets it's rest to stand up with a brand new wake up.

Each year seems different, intuition whispers where my mind is up to. This year was a mushroom/DMT/2CB year. While 2007 was almost completely filled with acid, weed and San Pedro. I finished that phase with 4 drops of acid which left me with a marvellous memorial stone.

Last week I closed the mushroom phase by pushing it over the limit, they're going to hibernate till fall 2009.

yeah i did take the second one. now i kind of wish i didn't since today i'm going to this place by the beach with friends + music and i'll stay up until at least 6am of tomorrow to catch the bus back home... an ideal trip scenario! but well i guess i'll make up with massive amounts of cannabis :mrgreen:

wow you guys trip a lot. i personally don't feel like tripping while on my university semester, so i guess that's why the 6 months. to me tripping is like pushing a reset button in my mind, so i can start clean every semester again

 

[druglessdouglas]

to me tripping is like pushing a reset button in my mind

yes!

 

[st.bot.32]

to me tripping is like pushing a reset button in my mind

absolutely. i usually have at least one powerful trip per year, and i think of that trip exactly like you stated it

i also like lighter trips (like one hit, or 1.5-2g or something) as the opportunities arise (music making or other creative exercises, relaxation/reflection for an evening) so on average probably once a month, more or less when available. otherwise, a sufficient dose of cannabis will usually fill the need..

I was thinking of making a thread just like this yesterday.

A one-winged bird brought a bag of awesome sid and I was thinking of how should I plan to consume this enormous amount of rocket fuel. For now I think it will be when the mind whispers, once per month as it has been until now.

Well, to be honest, last month this almost happend

 

[restin]

Welcome back, Nomada. Is everything fine?

 

[Nomada]

Hallo


my university semester has kept me hectic beussy
but now its the beginning of summer and the sky is beautiful and my head electric.

 

[restin]

Oh. I really envy you. It is winter here and dark and gloomy. The snow is beatiful though, you never have snow, do you?

Fine you're fine :wink:

 

[Nomada]

We don't have snow but it pours like some Jesus is mad at us This year it rained three times more than any other documented year!

My autoimune disorder (asthma) got weird with all this humidity and the stressed out social system. And though I feel healthy and strong, my glands are no longer infected but they remain inflated. I'm fighting it though: Yoga, much sleep, and some herbs an old woman gave me.
The doctors are clueless as to why my glands are going insane and I believe this condition has a spiritual dimension that I should address in order to heal.

thanks for asking restin :wink:
