I tend to think of it as seeing the world through alien eyes. Everything, even the most basic things possible seems alien and strange and you find yourself challenging assumptions which seemed to obvious before that they didn’t even bear consideration
My favorite time (well, favorite on just acid) was when I was 19 and still living at home. I got a few hits of acid and took them with my friends the night before spring semester started. After about two hours I drove home and my parents were in the living room watching TV and I had forgotten that I said I'd wash the dishes in the sink when I got back. I am generally quite composed when I'm lit up, but it had been awhile since I'd taken really good acid and I was tripping my balls off. So I'm standing by the sink, scrubbing these dishes down and trying my hardest not to get lost in the soap bubbles, in the way the water comes out of the faucet, and the sensation that the pot is melting in my hand. I still remember that feeling of cold, clean, beautiful precision, like everything has come clear now with all the ultra vivid colors and sharp lines (well, very distinct, obviously everything is waving around.) Finally, after what felt like a month, 58 sneak glances over at my parents and a few carefully manufactured laughs at what was happening on the tv I went downstairs, laid on my bed and watched snakes dangle from the ceiling while listening to Justice's first album. What a fucking awesome night that was. I will never forget it.
So true! I remember one session where we went to a 24hr convenience store at about 3am. My friend went in to buy something while the rest of us waited outside watching. He had a handful of coins which he accidentally dropped onto the chocolate bar display by the counter, all the coins falling between the individual bars. If it weren't for the shop assistant helping him (unaware he was tripping his face off) he would have been there all night. When he dropped the money the look on his face was priceless, he let out a big sigh as if to say "what have I got myself into?" The rest of us were laughing so hard, just imagining how hard is was to mentally hold it together when he was walking in and then to face that!
100% accurate. One time I had to go to rite aid at like 1am for something while tripping, and they volunteered me to go in, and when I got to the register, the older cashier lady knew immediately I was on something lol (lsd), and she said something to comfort me and be playful like "it's okay I won't tell anyone hehe" and I looked her dead in the eyes with a straight face and said "oh I know you won't." And she looked horrified, I got the hell outta there and didn't go back for like a week lol
I love how he concentrates on the real concept of tripping instead of people just talking about hallucination jokes. whats real is the mass confusion you have and disconnected from reality. and time doesn't mean SHIT lolol
waterdamnaged Once I was tripping with a buddy of mine. I asked "What time is it?" "4:55" he replied after checking his phone. Cool. I thought, great! So some time goes by, idk how much, but probably in the neighborhood of 35 minutes. I ask him what time it is and he looks at his phone, then looks at me with a shocked expression and a wide-open mouth "It's 4:51" This got us soooo pumped up because, of course, we had time traveled.
ive tripped so many times, over the years they've all sort of blended together. one of my best experiences tho was the time me and my friend laughed so hard, we both peed while laughing. not our pants, but while laughing, literally walked to the edge of the patio, peed, and came back. we did this one after the other, and continued laughing well after we both peed. i didnt think i was ever gonna stop, shit was just too god damn funny. dont think any laugh will ever surpass that one.
i took two gel tabs and had to put air in one of my tires, as well as fill up on gas. so i went to a BP and walked in. all i noticed was a flickering light above the counter and stared at it for at least ten seconds. finally, one of the two ladies at the register said, “what can i do for you?”. “....uh you guys should fix that.” “what?” “nothing. ten on two.”
@Dylan Richard I'm a psychonaut and have had a few close friends catch DUIs because they got behind the wheel it's not a skill it's a stupid fucking decision stay home or have a DD
I drove me and my boy home in my mercury cougar trippin balls on mushrooms from Atlantic City back home an hour away and I gotta say, the earth is most definitely round and spinning on an axis. I know this because I lived it
trying to explain tripping to someone who hasn't is pretty much like trying to explain colors to the blind. I will say that the part about time being arbitrary comes pretty close to expressing it though.
time becomes either arbitrary or it becomes everything...heeey man i think i can seee time...see can you feel it slowing down.. look at that right there in the air , thats tiiime
I remember a really bad trip where me and my boys were playing Halo 2, back like 7 or 8 years ago, and it started kicking in and I saw spot lights come on me, and I felt like I was being watched like the Truman Show, where the whole world was (as I said) "against me" at the time, and I was so scared haha. The best trips I've had was a buddy of mine had a clock in the shape of texas and it was literally melting off his wall,and I just felt so good haha, good times back in the day! I'll always remember those
You are the star of your own show, everyone is in even in on it writing this to you. Lol I know exactly what you mean tho, people can read your thoughts and you then? Yuup
turning into the child version of yourself is my closest approximation to taking my first low dose of shrooms, in every sense. It's fucking hi-larious. If you remember being a kid when little things made you laugh in hysterics like hearing the word 'butthead' or 'diarrhea' it's like that, things like sneaking around the house late at night and getting caught by your parents is both as tense and hilarious as it was when you did it with your friends in 3rd grade.
Tripping and running an errand reminds me of the time a friend and i tripped and had to take a cat who'd been run over by a car [almost cut in half] up to the animal clinic ,while waiting during the time the cat was being stitched up i'd wandered into another area with an operating room where a cat lay motionless ,I figured it was the one we'd brought by earlier and thought it was dead ,turned and went out to the waiting room where my friend was holding the cat as the ......I don't know where i'm going with this really ...fuck it
perfect forum for trippin stories: I went to a friends house while tripping and tried to pull instead of push open his front gate. I then stood back and re-evaluated my entrance approach for roughly 5 mins. Decided I couldn't enter and went to leave until I found out that my mates had been watching me from the balcony pissing themselves laughing at my inability to try pushing the gate open."
Mahatma Gandhi When you're tripping, your feelings are amplified, per se. So if you don't like change then you're really gonna hate change when tripping.
Hassan Dar I meant 'change' as in change from the money for the batteries he talked about, he seemed terrified of receiving change at the store, just wondered if there was an increased phobia of it while high lol
I've dealt with it first hand, you're right about the money. Last time I had to deal with money on a lot of LSD, I didn't want change. The reason being, is that they are trying to give me something that involves something I don't understand to begin with. I just want to get the hell out of where I am buying something. It is foreign to me. So, it feels uncomfortable. It feels threatening, to get change when tripping. I know that sounds weird to other people who have never had this happen, but you will not want the change! You just want the item you didn't want to have to go get, and leave so you can leave the scary place and go back to the familiar, comfortable, safe place! Anything you're not used to, is not good for tripping. If you want a crash course, try Salvia Divinorum. You will get incredibly high really fast, and not like it, 99% of the time, because of where you are. You think it's okay to do where you are, but in about 30 seconds, the environment you are in becomes terrifying and you have to leave. If you do it in a parked car, for instance, you will feel like you're jailed and encased inside a transformers robot and you have to escape the parked car, if only to get outside. Then you'll feel somewhat better. But for acid, it is very difficult to figure out where you'll feel comfortable. Usually, your room is a safe bet, but sometimes, if it isn't perfectly organized and whatnot beforehand, you will freak out. Try making your bed on a strong dose of LSD. Your bedsheets will do everything in their power to ensure that making your bed nice and neatly becomes an almost impossible task that will reduce you to tears. If you're tripping, you don't want to have anything you will have to engage in consciously, at all, unless it's a happy feeling movie at the most. You do not want to have to undertake any tasks...it's a whole thing.
Are you kidding ? Tripping's still great. I'm 46. You have to be in the right frame of mind, un-cluttered and without all the bullshit that's been crammed down our throat's. Turn off the TV. Lock the door. Put on some Pink Floyd or Genisis, and enjoy.....
I remember once being on just a ridiculous amount of acid when I was about 16, I'd eaten 9 hits of these really killer black tabs and I was laying around on my bed listening to The Doors and shit and I saw a spider on my ceiling. Wound up trying to get at it with my shoe and it ends up getting knocked off the ceiling and falling somewhere on my bed. Couldn't find the thing and I looked for what must have been 45 minutes or so...couldn't lay on my bed for the rest of the damn night for fear...
I took mushrooms one time with my brother & we managed to make it away from the roads & traffic into the countryside to find a place to chill out... then we couldn't for the life of us figure out why there was a bathtub in the field next to us! (for the horses)- Was so funny there was a place to bathe in the morning? The f**k is that doing there?? The first time I did them it was so true about time & money going out the window.
David Cross has most definitely tripped his balls off... I like inside like the concept of inside I get it, Hello today!! , and the way he hides his face when he's stuck in the C battery loop is all 100% accurate as fuck 😂😂
One time on acid i wanted to listen to music and all I had to do was connect ONE CHORD on my stereo and I could not figure it out. So I grabbed my iPod and layed on the floor happy as a clam listening to the Beatles.
When I would trip back in high school all of my friends lived with their parents so we had nowhere to hang out and trip all night. We had to venture out into the world and go from place to place. So we would drive around to different stores and restaurants that were open 24 hours. It was the scenario he's describing but over and over again the entire night. When things got weird and it seemed like the cops were being called we had to get out of there and figure out somewhere else to go. In hindsight driving around tripping all night was probably not wise, but we made it out of that time ok. I've lived on my own for 15 years now and I can trip whenever I want in my own home and I never do. I've had enough nightmarish experiences on acid to last a lifetime. If you keep doing it I think you turn yourself into a weirdo.
I change my mind, King is too cliched I want to be the male duchess (very aware a duke is the make counterpoint but I’m weird) of weirdos! No one hail my sovereignty!!!!!
i took mushrooms and went to the exploratorium in SF. there must have been a hundred school field trips there that day, kids were literally everywhere. I hid in the bathroom for six hours. no joke.
haha yeah kids freak me out when im sober that many kids on shrooms and id hide in the bathroom too but what are you gonna do when the field trip has a bathroom break maaaan
I was tripping once with my brother near a field & we couldn't understand why there was a bathtub there for the bath in the morning.. made perfect sense at the time- well thats for morning!
I don't know. I'm not done with my certification, but checking their history as a runner is good. I would hire a certified emotional control tester. Make sure your attorney is present before the test is administered.
All nimbly bimbly. Ashamed to say I don't remember my first trip. You are right, it's a right of passage. And. It's a very powerful drug- that is also a tool for many different things. I just never turn it down. so Willy Nilly is actually my middle name.
haha. i had the batteries run out while on four hits of acid in the middle of the day. that was awful walking to the store. my roommate was a little more stable than me so i sat in the middle of the parking lot while he walked into the grocery store. twenty minutes later, he comes out with five cans of whipped cream and no batteries.
i listened to that album tripping once and it came on right at the beginning of brain damage/eclipse while i was outside looking at the biggest full moon in years, it was the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
Dark Side of the Moon or The Wall are definitely excellent choices for listening while tripping. Takes on a whole different meaning, especially in The Wall during "The Trial".
light, warm, floaty, feeling at one with everyone and everything or that their anxiety or anger towards you is insignificant, walls or objects morphing or vibrating melding into one another like glitches in the matrix. I just explained it, the good type of tripping at least.
this is so true...one time when I was tripping I tripped over my laptop cord and no lie stood there for like 5 minutes wondering how I was gonna hook it back up
after my drugstore adventure, me and my buddy just sat down infront of some house on the walk there and just laughed about the whole experience for atleast 45 mins... that oh yeah I remember 'inside' I like 'inside' is crazy true
One time I was tripping on acid and I ate a bunch of watermelon and I shit my pants in Walmart not a whole bunch just a little bit but enough to have to change my pants so I tried to steal some underwear and the lady at the dressing room booth figured out my scheme and she came after me so I ran and by the way I was 19 when this happened and I was with my mother and my thirteen-year-old sister so as I was running I passed my mom and sister luckily they said nothing but I gripped my pack of underwear like a champ made it through the garden center sled under a wall on my way to Freedom made my way to a wooded area next to the Walmart and wiped with 1 pair of underwear cleaned off with the second and put on the third moseyed through the parking lot found my mother's car and melted into the backseat and on the way home my mom said someone needs to quit farting and that was the day that I decided I will never eat watermelon again
I know what you mean, tripping is a young person's thing. The thought of doing it now makes me feel ill. I don't know how I ever enjoyed it but I did in my early twenties.
Lols maybe them n00bs who've never tripped before would be like that in a drug store on acid. But for us expert psychonauts it's easy as. I remember this one day my friends were too stoned to call up for a pizza without bursting into laughing. I was just like "Gimme that phone! What do you guys want? Okay got it." Called up, ordered it like a boss. And they were like "WOW MAN! How'd you do that? How'd you act normal when you were blazed as?" and the answer is simple. You don't try to pretend you're not stoned or tripping. You just face the music that it's going to be difficult but you simply stop caring and you accept that they'll probably guess that you're stoned. You stop caring that they might think you're stoned off your arse because I highly doubt they care anyways. It's not like they're going to freak out and be all like "HOW DARE YOU GET STONED IN MY PRESENCE! The cops will hear about this!! Vile weed smoker! Bane of all existence." and if you're scared that something like that's gonna happen then you're not thinking rationally. You just go in, grab what you need, avoid unneccessary conversation and just pay for it and go. If they try to rope you into a conversation just give short quick answers and be done with it. They'll get the hint that you're not in a chatty mood. Obviously it's harder when you're on acid then when you're just plain stoned but still, it's not THAT hard dealing with people whilst tripping. Just be logical about it.
Way back in the day my friends and I were out of our minds on some really good visual acid...just plain looking red squares but MY GOD that shit melted our brains. So were all hanging out in the garage and getting bored...so we decide to go on a quest, as people on acid tend to do. So with no concept of time, we take off walking..."hey, lets go see a movie" a great idea! So we take off, walking the mile or so to the local theater. We get there and not a soul there. Panic. What's going on? There's no one here? So as were standing around in the parking lot like a bunch of idiots, we try to justify why there's no one here...nuclear attack? Hostage situation? Zombies? About that time, a local cop rolls up on us and soon we find out the reason to the lack of moviegoers...its 4am. Oh shit...the cop starts asking us questions and we all hold it together ...except my one dickhead friend who decides this injustice WILL NOT STAND. He starts arguing with the cop asking him "what's it to you, puppet?" and "your just a pawn!" ...Christ...I can almost feel the nightstick getting ready to crack our skulls. Cop pulls us closer and says "what the fuck is wrong with him?" and somehow we convince the officer he's mentally challenged and don't take him seriously. Cop somehow lets us go and we hitail it back to the safety of our boring garage... Much better than being off our gourds in a jail cell. Whee!
Me and my girl did shrooms and she started to get a headache while we where tripping. And she want to drive to the store for tylonol and it felt like a gpd damn hour and the store was like a block away it was horrible but we did it lol
We tried to by Duncan Donuts tripping balls an all we can do was laugh at the poor girl 😅😅😅😅We finally left with $30.00 worth of donuts she picked out for us. 😅😅😅😅😅 That was in the 70s.
We used to hold cigarettes lit side up by the filters to see how inattentive to time we were. You'd look up, see something cool, look down... SHIT it's been like 3 minutes
I saw a monk on the bus the other day. An honest to god Franciscan friar with the brown robe with the rope belt and everything. He asked if I was an artist and if I expected to make a living doing that. I wasn't tripping, but it was still weird.
What is it about having to go up on a roof while tripping. I nearly lost my finger nails trying to hang on to the shingles because the sky witch was trying to push me off.
OMG last time I ate a quarter of shrooms I couldnt understand time. I hated the concept to the point where i smashed all the clocks off the tables because it scared the shit out of me! TRUEST TRIPPING EXPLANATION EVER.
Just saw a kid like this in Dunkin Donuts lol. He takes out a 10 dollar bill, stares at it for 30 seconds, puts it down and then starts smiling when he gets his change. I ask him if he's alright and he just runs to the corner table where he can't figure out which seat he wants. Maybe he's just fucked in the head though?
hahha nah hes tripping ..if hes fuuucked in the head then he wouldnt have 100 dollar bill...lol im kinda fuucked in the head and i dont have no 100 bucks
