What is it with natural disasters and dosing...?
I heard about the pandemic and my first thought was, 'welp... let's watch this shit burn in super HD...'

Awesome stories. It's amazing, and I guess kind of expected... given the intense sensory experience, how hard those situations implant themselves on in your memory... especially the music.

With hurricanes it was that sheer power of the earth roaring. We dropped almost every time one rolled through until a friend of ours almost died when a major wind caught his coat and almost blew him down an embankment into the east river at 3 am. Would have been the end of him except he blew past one of my other, much bigger friends who saw him coming and managed to grab his coat as he was flying past. Dude came right out of his coat and kept going but stopped short of the bank since the wind lost its grip.. Ironically the guy who saved him was also the same guy who, the year before saved another friend from getting sucked out into the ocean in a massive riptide. We saw him get pulled under and yelled and just as my hero buddy turned around to see what was going on, buddy went cruising right by him in the current under water and he grabbed him by his long hair and pulled him up and helped him out on to shore. Also.. tripping balls in a small hurricane, this time at the beach like fucking idiots.

Yeah... luckily where I'm at and where I've done most of my tripping, we just get some damaging wind and flooding from hurricanes.
The power of the ocean is so magnificent without any influence.. really feel for those in the danger zones.

I've done a fair amount of surfing and snowboarding tripping and, luckily, never had the elements swallow me up.
I've been graced with superhuman reflexes and strength a few times when I'm on... making it out of swells I shouldn't have that swallowed up other (presumably) non-tripping people.
Launching over rocks or pointy treetops (when there's 10' of a base layer... not something impossible) that I probably would have the wherewithal to simply avoid otherwise.
Ugh... one time I was just tearing ass down a slope, went to carve and hit an icy patch, somehow managed to catch enough of an edge to stop myself from losing control... come to a complete stop and there was a jagged broken branch pointing right at me that seemed to be about 3 inches from my face... as you could imagine, tripping... it felt like the entire mountain, all of its trees, rocks and snow came cascading around me and that branch while I just sat there stunned

This page should have a WARNING: DO NOT REPEAT THIS CRAZY SHIT
I should also add that I was not, nor would I ever allow myself to be, tripping hard when I do decide to do extreme activities... just enough to have some psychedelic visuals and a nice body high. Not that that's an excuse. Don't do this shit.

I have one memory of driving while tripping because I tried to never do it. But I was heading home from a friend’s summer place out in the woods/back country of that town. And there were lots of twists and turns and little hills and valleys, and it just created this cartoonish imagery in my mind of my drive while I was driving, bopping along to this.

Thats awesome! Its wild how much the music you listen to dictates the experience.

Soundgarden or Alice in Chains were always in my top shelf back in those crazy days. But we used to really trip ourselves out sometimes with shit like Ozric tentacles or other prog shit.

Always a crazy experience on shrooms at music festivals. In 2007 I saw tool at Bonnaroo while on some chocolates and it was pretty intense. They had lasers making all kinds of geometric shapes in the air, crazy surreal repeating graphics on the giant monitors to each side of the stage, and of course there's Maynard's voice.

It was all great but maybe a little too much, everything started to visually melt together. I kept sitting down and trying to pack a bowl to level out a little but I could barely see what I was doing and was getting paranoid that rather than grabbing weed I was accidentally packing grass (like from the ground next to where the bag was) in instead. My friends swore it was just weed but they were tripping too so of course I didn't trust them either. Lesson to that story is prepare some blunts before tripping so you don't have to worry about that shit later.

To quote a passage from Matthew; Alright alright alright!

They fuked up and didnt send a few items, so i contacted them and they apologized and are sending the forgotten stuff out today with an extra surprise syringe as an apology lol. Ill take it.
Grabbing the pressure cooker tomorrow, And ill order a pressure guage for it off amazon.
Hopefully ill have everything together and ready to roll in a week or two. Need to make a still air box still too.

Was very happy to see how fully established this culture is. Shit is spreading up the sides of the dish.

Oh yeah!

Went to see Radiohead at thunderbird stadium for the Kid-A tour. It was an outdoor arena and I swear the entire crowd was high on acid or mushrooms. Every 5 mins someone would walk past selling it.

Anyway halfway through the set they played Let down from ok computer iirc, and the sun was just setting so the sky was all kinds of amazing pink and purlpe colors. Just as the song got quiet for one of the breakdowns in the middle, an enormous flock of Canadian geese flew overhead, honking in a massive V formation and i swear the entire crowd stopped watching the band and was staring up pointing at the sky watching these geese. It was super strange, like the whole crowd was overwhelmed by Canadian pride at these stupid geese lol, as soon as they were past the crowd just erupted in applause and screams cheering on the geese, right in the middle of a damn song lol.
It was epic.

Thom Yorke at the geese,
"buggers"

I love Radiohead, seen them twice at roo too, tripped the first time I saw them but it was much more mellow than my tool experience. Radiohead just does these great, long sets with no bad songs, perfect for lounging and smoking.

Phil Lesh and Friends performed the same year and I remember there was a guy near me in the field with a glow stick attached to the line on a kids style fishing rod he had, he was casting it out and reeling in all these tripping people that didn't seem suspicious of a moving glow stick.

Totally. They were up there with my favourite bands to trip too for sure. Especially when ok computer first came out.

Saw them twice for their Hail to the Theif tour, I think three times for In Rainbows including the Bonnaroo 06 show that was absolutely bonkers.
Definitely some of the best tripping music for me at the time.
Now I just listen to birds, wind, and trickling water.
Or pace around my house for an hour trying to figure out where a noise is coming from... pro tip : it's usually the HVAC system.

Favorite to this day:

Listen to this. Seriously, the whole thing.

This album is hands down imho the best trip music to come out in the last 15 years.

We listened to this whole album on an 8th each during our last fishing trip. Listened to the whole thing laying on the deck of the boat while watching meteors streak across the sky. It was amazeballs. My face was sore the next day from all the smiles!
This album is as psychadelic as it gets.

Love me some Aussie psychedelia... Tame Impala definitely kickstarted that thing into the mainstream.

You'll probably like this a lot

Yeah man i like that a lot. I love analog sounds.. reminded me of this lol

Dirtbag · Nov 12, 2020

My buddies had never heard that tame impala song before and the part where it goes a bit quiet and you hear a voice in the background say "Hey, what are you doing out here? Youre thinking about everything arent you?" Just blew their fuckin minds lol. I just heard this high pitched giggling coming from the other side of the boat lol.

Yes man! Floyd has been the soundtrack for countless trips.

Watching the movie "The Wall" on a coulple grams makes for an amazing experience. Ive probably done it half a dozen times lol.

MIMedGrower · Nov 12, 2020

Tripped out old Floyd

Dirtbag · Nov 12, 2020

First time i heard this i was on 2 hits of windowpane.

Dirtbag · Nov 12, 2020

Same night i heard this for the first time. My buddies older brother was our tripsitter in charge of the tunes, and he did us right!
