So my roomate and I have been curious about mushrooms and acid. We’ve never done it before. Actually, I did, kinda. I was at an outdoor music festival and was really drunk and did a hit of it, but didn’t really feel anything like described. I felt good I guess, but I can’t really recall anything weird or out of the ordinary that one might feel heavily on the influence.
My roomate and I smoke pot (I do more than he does), and I’m very happy wtih that. However, we are thinking about trying either mushrooms or acid. I’m not sure if we should start with one before another to gauge our reactions or what.
My roomate even thought of the possibility of doing one of these drugs this weekend at a Halloween party with a couple of bands playing. I was thinking that that might not be the right environment to do that kind of stuff in (especially for our first times), but I’m not sure.
I’m also a little concerned about both of these. As much as I want to experience the spirituality and awesomeness that I hear people describing from doing these, I’m afraid of having a bad trip. I have indeed had a history of depression, and in the past, would take medication for it. However, since I’ve been in college, I’ve felt I haven’t needed it as much, and for the first time I’m completely off all medications this year. I mean, I still get stressed and sometimes I get down, but nothing as serious as I used to feel. With that in mind though, I worry that these drugs might summon some of those feelings that I often feel may be deep underneath.
But maybe I have nothing to worry about. I don’t know. I thought I’d ask some people with some experience.
Another issue I have is that we currently live in dormitories. There’s a somewhat loose “3 strike” rule where if you are caught with alcohol/pot, etc you get in trouble with judicial affairs. Supposedly after your 3rd strike you can be kicked out of the dorms. I have two strikes related to alcohol, and my roomate has one related to alcohol. I’m afraid if we have a bad trip (or perhaps a good one) we may get out of hand or something and the last thing I want is to raise the awareness of the RAs or patrolling police in the midst of a good or bad trip.
So what are your thoughts?
