Opinions - Things to do During a Mushroom Trip

[whatswimdo]

Ok, so here are just a few things SWIM has tried while Tripping on Cubensis.

1. Before you start to trip. take one sheet of newspaper place it in a fire place (assuming you have one). Light it on fire and let it burn itself out. let it cool till you are peaking or close to, or even right after. Light up a smoke, assuming you can remember and that you even smoke. Push the cherry on the wall or ground of the fireplace till it just lightly breaks up without falling apart. Now ash the broken cherry peices on the still intact but burnt peice of newspaper until you get one ore more of the fragments to start chasing around the newspaper. The thought process this sight invokes is incredible!

2. If you live in an area where there is a forest type surrounding in your back / front yard, while tripping. stay in your house for a bit, then walk to the doorway looking at the frame of the door (after opening the door). and stop before going outside. Look out the door, and think of how different it is outside than inside. and picture yourself walking into another dimension or another environment. as you walk outside, notice the complete change of your feelings. try to remember how long you were standing there at the door looking outside. it's mind boggling to say the least. and helps create an adventuristic type mind set while tripping.

3. Only do this if your alone. Distractions cause this one to fail quite misserably. but the effects can entertain for the entire trip or as long as you want it to! turn off all the lights in your house. close all the curtains so no light is coming in (best done at night). now turn on a good movie that you have seen before, whatever will work. ( i like to watch The Dark Crystal while doing this ). after the movie is on. sit on the ground about 4 feet from the TV. Turn yourself so that your back is facing the TV, and your front is facing a wall, or flat surface like a wall. Now after sitting there only listening and seeing the reflection of light on the wall, you can if you don't consentrate on doing it, you will begin to actually SEE the movie on the wall. The characters change, the way they look in the movie changes. hard to explain without you actually doing it. but lots of fun!

4. This one is a bit odd. but if your comfortable with your sexuality etc, and your an open minded person. this can be the best peak of your life. or at least it was for SWIM! Turn on a pornographic film. get extremely comfortable and relaxed on the couch or ground or whatever. after a while of watching. keep it on. and close your eyes. best to do this before you peak. it's like having a full body orgasm, without it actually happenening... also as a side note, Doing this with someone you are normally intimate with can extremely enhance your orgasm if you decided to go that route.

If you have tried this, or are going to do any of these. please let me know what your experiences were! post here. as i don't read all posts. just ones that catch my eye.

Thanks everyone, hope these are fun for you

Nice post SWIM has done a few of these on several occasions...another one:

Pour yourself some water. As you go to drink it, tell yourself its something else, like orange juice, wine, etc. If you're in the right place you can actually redirect your senses - its amazing.

A great one is going out at night when its a full moon. Because your pupils are the size of dinner plates you can see so well it looks like a sunny day and because your boiling, Sunbathe =D its great!

[JumpinJackFlash]

Moonbathing, bit Adams family that, sky on a dark night it always good, especially when you can see some stars. Stick some music on lie on a blanket and see what happens, SWIM has this odd graphic visualiser effect where spirals of stars move from the brightest stars with the drum beat, but up to your own mind really, I have a friend who is always convinced she can see superman!

Hey guys! haven't posted here for a while so ill be as talkative as i wanna be.
anyone got any good ideas for stuff to do while on shrooms? SWIM procured some shrooms from a mate of his after a psychedelic party and goes on his holidays soon. he will have much time and not much to do with said time. there are no more psy parties on in his area before new years and he wants to have a good time consuming said shrooms (probably gonna make some chocolate). any good ideas for some activities?

[E-Pro]

Some Fun Activities Include:

listening to music, (I would recommend WEIRD random stuff, Modest Mouse)
looking at the stars,
sex.

I wouldn't recommend trying
to watch any trippy movies
you usually lose interest

[Metomni]

- SWIM takes a walk with every mushrooms experience
- At least one movie is almost always viewed
- Music, usually ambient, but anything is awesome
- Meditation for the obvious reasons
- Food is great
- Sex is even greater

That's the important stuff.

swim can see that picture moving and swim is straight, that is spooky.

^Listen to natural sounds, on cd if you must, SWIM listened to a cd of whale recordings once (not the diluted shitty ones which have an overture- just pure indiluted whalesong)... damn thats awsome. While listening to this he proceeded to play on his didge, he's bad but it didnt matter coz he was on shrooms lol... as he was coming up he had a conversation with his dog aswell and they agreed on going for a playfull walkthrough the local feilds, It was a brilliant bonding moment between man, mans best friend, and some higher power. It was utterly beautiful... Though SWIM would never replicate this; mushroom experiences cannot be replicated due to diffirent dimensions in mental state at diffirent times... Go with the flow, have some trippy things nearby and just do it!!

One could take out a SNES and play Donkey Kong Country 3 with one's girlfriend. Fun times.

SWIM found it to be the most hilarious experience of her life.

SWIM recommends climbing a tree while your tripping. He tells me that it is really intense, he felt as though he was being nurtured by the tree, and the leaves looked so beautiful.

[theratdude64]

SWIMs first trip he had a nice home theater playing music and listened to Trivium's Ascendancy CD. Mainly Track 1, the End of Everything. It actually sounded like angels were flying around the room, with the choir. Very nuts.
And can't beat Grass barefoot

Link to CD:
http://www.amazon.com/Ascendancy-Tri...5716089&sr=8-2

theratdude64 added 2 Minutes and 54 Seconds later...

can't figure out how to edit?

Anyways, The Gustav Holst Arrangement - The Planets would be quite awesome. SWIM has yet to hear it on a trip, but aspires to.

[augentier]

nevermind.

shrooms will do your body good..

SWIM has listened to requiem for a tower, the batman begins soundtrack, and the last samurai soundtrack on shrooms,, he finds its only really enjoyable on the comedown when the afterglow is felt nd slight residue of the visuals are present, perhaps because the structure is to odd/complex/slow to get into while tripping...

though based on SWIY's previous post,, SWIY likes metal?? ever listened to American Head Charge while tripping?.. its better to do this with their softer versions,, especially just so you know,, damnnnn its beatiful :P ..Or even perhaps Fear Factory?.. some of their earlier albums have little to no vocals in it and are mainly a weird form of instrumentals
Then theres the obvious... Tool

[theratdude64]

SWIM should really look into that. He didn't listen to too much music the last times, but wants to focus more on that next times. SWIM loves metal

Things to do on shrooms... There are so many good ideas that have been thought up. For first timers being in a safe location with a sitter is usually the best thing to do. SWIM had an amazing time with his friends in the comfort of their apartment with Papa Irish telling us things are going amazing. After awhile outdoors became the place that felt right to shroom but anywhere safe is awesome. SWIM needs a constant feeling of safeness when tripping either by having someone sober and smart around or in his own stomping grounds. All SWIM wants to talk about is what his next trip is going to consist of though, so here it goes.

SWIM is an exWorld of Warcraft addict but hes having his brother walk him around in the environments and cities while it is projected on a wall. Then an actual walk around the enormous park which is across the street while listening to his favorite vocal trance that melts his heart and give chills, then a visit to the skatepark to say hi to friends and watch them do amazing things. After a good walk some fresh fruits will need to be eaten, either some waterLOLon, grapes, strawberries with sugar, or anything fresh that gives a feeling of renewal especially a huge glass of water. Then SWIM plans on doing what he feels like next, watching a movie, taking a nap, drawing and learning new creative tricks, or just more music, who knows thats what makes them so amazing. Have fun!

This sounds fantastic for Swiy...though, Swiy, cannot move much of the time whilst tripping. If he CAN move, he is too physically active, and would probably draw undue attention

Swiy, loves, and would trade Nothing in the world for a good trip, sitting in the hottub, watching the clouds turn to stars, the wind rustle the trees and smoke shi sha.


Also, swiy one time, somehow "felt" the refrigerator "humming" throughout his entire body as an electrical current.

Swiy would probably plan on getting a deep tissue massage after hot tubbing for an hour, whilst tripping mildly, and enjoy the sensations.

swim likes to go to a park (away from people) and chill with friends when coming up and peaking.

when he's coming down he likes just the opposite (somewhere crowded), like the mall he finds it intersting to look at people there, they always seem like some sort of blind-robot after swim just came down from a peak of the trip. it amuses him and his jack-off friends.

walking around outside

watching crazy tv shows
-family guy will have you laughing your ass off and asking how they came up with this shit

sitting around talking, pretty much doing anything is cool

[ncsponger]

Here's a good story....

When swim was about 18, he and a friend went to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg,VA. For those who don't know this is a killer amusement park.
Swim and friend brought along 7grams of dried cubensis. Shortly after entering the park about 10:00am, they halved and consumed the mush with a bottle of water while standing in line for a roller coaster. Within 30 minutes the mushrooms took effect.

For 9 hours they fumbled through the park, smoking bowls in eyesight of everyone, babbling like idots, and trying to find rides in the massive park. All in all they only rode about 2 rollercoasters. Swim doesn't remember too much of it because it has been about 5 years since then. A young male employee busted us behind a security fence smoking a bowl. He just laughed and said "move along guys"(he had a beard and was wearing TEVA sandals!!).

It was a very confusing day but amazing now that swim thinks back and reflects on that special day. By the end of the trip swims feet had massive bloody blisters from walking so much trying to locate rides!! For some reason back then swim could handle and enjoy the fungus. Now he does not particularly enjoy the sensation, but he still consumes cubes occasionally.

Siskel & Ebert give 2 thumbs up for Busch Gardens Williamsburg under the influence.

Swim agrees that watching family guy is great when tripping. Tripping goes hand in hand with the random humor of family guy... at one time swim was so messed up he didn't realize he was watching a compilation episode.

[Mammon]

Watching late night TV while tripping is hilarious. All the cheap, rubbish programs they get just to fill airtime can have SWIM in tears of laughter.

That, however, might just be SWIM.

[doppey]

A walk in the park/Forrest. Making music. Dancing (Doesn't matter if you know how, just moving to music in and of itself is enjoyable.) Art gallery/museum trips, Checking out downtown architecture if applicable.

Haha

one time my friend was frying so hard he said "it feels like i know brian"
