Trying to convince my girlfriend

[kmad]

Hi

This summer, my girlfriend and I are going to a festival in British Columbia called Shambhala. I've convinced her to go with me to that, but she seems scared of doing any psychedelic drugs, which is what everyone usually does there.

I have a lot of experience with mushrooms and a little with MDMA and LSD but I can't seem to assuage her fears about tripping.

How could I go about letting her know that mushrooms are practically harmless?

if she beleives in god. tell her god made it just like he made u and me.

Show her some good information about psychedelics.
I wouldn’t go about convincing anyone to take anything, let alone a psychedelic.
So leave it to her to make that decision herself.
All you can do is provide information,
And there’s plenty of that on the internet.

Peace.

^I agree.

psychedelics are not anal sex, you know ?

If she really doesn't want to, don't force it...

I've been in the same situation. She took the mushrooms (her first time) because she knew I really wanted to trip with her. But that was her only reason.

Worst trip I ever had...

Has she had any experience with Cannabis? Usually after many sessions with Cannabis, you get curious what other psychoactive substances are like. Maybe she needs something to draw her attention towards mushrooms. I would suggest getting high off Cannabis a few times, and just talk about the trip while she is high. If you can put it in the right words, almost anyone would want to try mushrooms after. But don't force her if she really doesn't want to, as she may have an bad experience her first time if everything is to crammed in. By the way, where about in Canada do you live?

PEACE

Even before I tried cannabis I recall taking sips of mushroom tea. Just experimenting with a threshold dose, a teaser. Tea is somehow rather gentle and inviting as opposed to some pill or weird piece of paper or smoking (if you are not a smoker!), and I think I got a mild buzz off of it, nothing psychedelic though. Enough that I tried mushrooms again and again when they came around.. a bit more each time

But yeah, agree with all the above. If a person isn't genuinely ready and open, that is a bad trip in the making right there. I still wasn't really ready the first time I did acid even tho I really wanted to.

Even worse if you are afraid she isn't into it it might ruin your trip even if she IS having a good time. My first trip I was with my GF and she spent a good deal of her trip fretting that I was in a bad way.. (I was toward the end, well not TOO bad i guess.. but the first half was awesome actually)

No one should try to talk someone into doing psychedelics . Most people learn from example . Take her with you and let her see what the festival is like , what the people , especialy you , are like on trips . Women are usualy curious beings , if she likes what she sees she will do it , if you try to convince her she probably wont . Give her time . Its a bit like kids , if they think you are trying to push them into something they often stamp their feet and fight against it . If you just lay it in their way and act inocent and let them think that it just happend like that they often do it .

Would you have done your first trip on a festival?

Don't talk her into doing a psychedelic drug for the first time on a festival where she is in an unknwn environment with a lot of unknown people.
The first (few) times should always be in a secure and familiar environment.
You or (more importantly) Her don't know how she will react to the particular substance, so please don't take the chance of it being a wrong decision.

Ofcourse people could have a great first experience with psychedelics at a party, but you could determine much more external factors when you're at a closed location, playing your own music, making your own atmosphere.

About the extacy comments, this is an option, but we're already talking about deciding for her what she should do.
If she doesn't want to take anything, don't let her take anything.
Inform her about the workings and experience of psychedelics and MDMA, if she is interested she can make her mind up for herself.

I wish you both the best!

Why don't you just take her sober to there and go tripping/rolling yourself. When she's with you while you're under influence during the festival, she sees your behaviour and probably will love the effect is has on you.

If she's around people with who she's closley related, and sees how their response is, you can accompany her with a mild dose when you're both together. Of course when it's her own free will and you being her guide.

psychedelics are not anal sex, you know ?

Unless if you're doing rectal ingestions.

I do not know how old she is. This is very important! And if you force her in any way even if you become passive-aggressive(du not know how to say different) shrooms, LSD will be hard for her. Higher chance that she will never again try any of drugs which you as I see love very passionately. Try to make for her a hashish cacao. Half gram of hash dissolved in the spoon of hot oil or butter. Then put this into cup of cacao. Hash eaten works much, much stronger then smoked! 100% stronger! Similar to the one third of acid blotter. Similar not the same. If she like that give here E or 2CB. Shroom,acid,cacti aren't for beginners. But if she doesn't want use drugs doesn't force her. I believe that you love her? Respect that. Alcohol can be enough for her even if festival is "acid" one.

Then just don't do it?

[tryptonaut]

I can only repeat the echo

But then you have to be careful to tell her the differences between ecstasy and real psychedelics - because if she takes ecstasy she'll probably become totally enthuasiastic about trying everything else immediately. Which wouldn't be a good idea.

"But then you have to be careful to tell her the differences between ecstasy and real psychedelics - because if she takes ecstasy she'll probably become totally enthuasiastic about trying everything else immediately. Which wouldn't be a good idea."

Echo + 1 . I had that problem with an inocent houswife i took to a psytrance party . She wouldnt listen to me and took E when i wasnt there and then started dropping everything she could get her hands on and fucked herself up in public ............................. in every sense of the word ..........

 

[Goran.Hrsak]

GOD what you mean with "started dropping everything she could get her hands on"?
Has she starts to drop more E or booze into herself or has she starts to drop bottles and glasses? Housewife you sad? :wink: I would like to know have you survived without face-replace husband angry-rage attack? Some husbands can be especially atomically bomber mood-ed in such conditions of "public embarrassment" (this means that people who know her and friends sow her and blah-blah her some months after event :wink: )

I would like to hear what happened to you my friend. PM me because you doesn't want to spread matter for gossip and possible make more problems. But only if you like to. Roll a dice. I often do that. PEACE MAN. Real shit!
One more thing why not to give E to the "High temper 'naturally' 'wild' or 'scary' woman".

But if you pick E cause LSD and shrooms are harder then rolling dice and you can't predict what can happen, use half of tablet or even one third. I used such amount at beginning when my brain were fresh and lower dose has been just fine. High-building dose at beginning only took away nice introduction and saturate XP-feelings-effects of any drug! Sorry because I have introduce some other thematic links.

Sorry Goran , in England they say drop some acid or pills and mean swallow it . She wasnt married , she was divorced and walked up to me and talked to me in the park . I said i was going to a psytrance party and she asked to come with me . She didnt realy have any knowledge of drugs and had never been to a party before . After about 5 minutes there she wanted to try E and i said slowly , slowly , dont rush into it , find out what it does first . She waited till my back was turned = i went to the toilet , and five minutes later she took some , then some more , then some acid , then loads of coke = everything she could get her hands on in as big amounts that she could get all mixed with masses of speed , Ghb , 2ce , alcohol and cannabis . She started to go to partys from thursday evenings untill monday mornings and thought that she could trust everybody . She ended up walking around in a party naked and being fucked publicly by 12 guys . She made big debts and landed in a psychiatric hospital . Poor girl , i did my best , it wasnt my fault . She was just another person who wouldnt listen , who thought that she new better and fucked her life up .
