Fr, I'm 100% comfortable walking around a busy city centre on acid, but as soon as I have to speak to a sober person I completely lose it, its just so confusing to try talk with them.
so true on slurring the end of sentences. It's like your mouth/tongue relaxes before you finish whatever you were saying. I also get a weird difficulty with hearing what I am saying (maybe because I'm overanalysing my speech) which makes it even harder to get words out without slurring or trailing off haha
I had a full conversation with a stranger on a hiking trail who had run out of water and asked if I had any to share while peaking on 500ug. After, my sitter had to calm me down because i was nervous that I was a weirdo to the guy even though I was acting perfectly normal.
Unless you had a tolerance built up your tabs were probably underdosed, on 500ug you would not be acting normal, any speech would absolutely be jumbled, and you'd have a very hard time understanding what the hiker was asking for.
I used to take it and tell no one. On purpose but just to see if anyone noticed only 3 close friends could notice the saucer eyes. Have fun. Wish I had some of what you got.. nice Christmas it would be.
Seriously. When ordering food while tripping a few weeks ago, I decided I was going to play it off as being drunk to not raise suspicions, and for some reason the words that came out were "i have drank the drunk"
When I sobered up, I came to realise I probably just needed to hand him the money and not say anything and all would have been fine
Ahahahah, all the problems start when you feel like you need to explain yourself.
One time I was tripping with a friend and having a bonfire on a beach, and a lady came over with her kids. My trippy self decided to explain that we were inspired by the other bonfire at the other end of the beach.
Ive noticed this too, almost no one can tell as long as youre chill. Some people on acid just might get paranoid and anxious feelings about how they look, and since they are high those feelings get amplified and thats what can make a person seem to ne tripping if they start freaking out about it
Yes, other people only notice that you're under the influence of something if you panic and start trying to act normal. That's when you end up acting weird
Yeah exactly, I live in a big city but like to trip outdoors so I worked up my courage and after a while I realized no one can tell as long as I dont psych myself out.
That is a good rule. I extend it to where people won't notice or pay attention to me for more than 5 seconds or so. Walking around the neighborhood is fine, going to buy something at a store less so (though I have, and can keep it together fairly well).
most people don't give a fuck.
like seriously, at worse you'll get a "huh" in someones mind.
you are not important enough for people to care or focus on you unless your acting like a crackhead.
how many people do you pass by daily and think "oh my god why is that person standing there?"
Like literally as long as you're not talking to your self like a crackhead or something (and i mean like a crackhead, not a talking to yourself but like trying to fight fucken shadow people or something) then literally 90% of people won't notice you and won't remember you.
but if you start getting in your head about "they know that i know" then yeah, you'll act like a crackhead and then people might start to notice lol.
I did at the beginning but after a while I stopped caring, most of those thoughts are just there to make you anxious and spiral, dont have to listen to them
That's an hilarious fear I can totally get behind. I've conducted sober experimenst with the "standing in place for too long". Successfully so. People aren't usually freaking out - once tried to move a caterpillar and a lady helped, sometimes I look at textures or mechanic fixtures, ... It seems that emitting curiousity is somehow even inviting to certain people.
Me and my friends were tripping and walked by some front yard in my neighborhood that had a lot of weird buddhist statues and we were very amazed when the owner came out and started telling how this apartment building was going to be demolished and how she made this front yard to make the best of something which will pass. All while we were tripping and trying to go along and make normal small talk
I once bought movie tickets on acid. I rehearsed in my head 100 times. Yet when I spoke it was jumbled up garbage. All my friends laughed. Only one other was also tripping.
So I laughed too and said "Sorry I get nervous. Can I get two tickets for..."
Worked and it was great. The trick to tripping in public is to just be yourself, but not get caught up. In either the trip or social interactions.
One of the skills I learned from being a stoner during high school and also being in the band program that was run like the military was how to hide my highs. A few years ago when I was 25 I went to work one evening after my break (server at a fine dining steakhouse) a few drinks in, high off a pen, a line, and 2 tabs. I was told the second I walked in that I was gonna be in a private event that was a wedding rehearsal dinner for 50 people with one other server. Went through the whole shift peaking and having an absolute blast and made $500. At the very end while me and the other server were resetting the room I told him what I was on and he was baffled because he didn’t even notice since I was just being normal.
My eyes dont dialate that much on acid, only when in a dimmer setting they look big. Outside in sunshine or with clouds they look regular sized. But even if your eyes dialate you can use sunglasses or just not give a fuck
Yeah, ran into someone that decided to take some sort of pyschedelic at a convention (mind you, while drugs were common here, it was only at room parties, not so much the con space). Needless to say, they were having a horrible time freaking out in the bathroom. That was obvious.
Also, if you act really strange on psychs, that would obviously be noticeable as well. Personally, 2C-B makes me act like a freak. I'll just be standing there, almost drooling, staring at all the pretty lights and colors. If I were to go out in public, I'm sure people would notice, because it's not normal to just sit there gawking at a flashing light.
I always trip at hotels and love walking around looking at the decor, especially all the patterned carpets, with my girlfriend. Unless you noticed how fucking dilated our pupils are, it's not really obvious what we are doing.
I agree with everyone here but it makes me think of this story which i have to tell:
Me and a friend were hiking through one of our country's most beautiful and scenic nature reserves, smoking a lot of green but also low dosing some Acid (between 35 and 75 μg), seeing wild horses and deer and loads of cool birds. But as dusk fell we knew we had to move back to civilization and find some dinner, and we decided to go to Amsterdam.
So after trekking back through a dark forest full of subtle visuals and weird distant lights we found the train station and we entered the train to Amsterdam, which a few stations later became JAM PACKED. So the whole train was crowded as fuck and we were just cool looking at our phones, when my friend messaged me (while sitting next to me) "don't look, but the guy sitting on front of us is deadass staring at us through the gap between the seats" and when I managed to quickly let my eyes drift I noticed that his pupils were wide as fuck
He actually looked very nice, probably just a guy who bought a bit too many shrooms while in Amsterdam and was trying to telepathically communicate with the other people who happened to be tripping near him
Taking a crowded subway is already crazy, but it’s even worse when you’re high, hahaha. My friend is absolutely right — it’s true that you somehow end up finding people who are also tripping. It feels like you start giving off an aura that attracts them.
I remember one time I was alone at the beach, high — I had taken 3 g of mushrooms — just enjoying the sunset. Out of nowhere, three guys came up asking if I had a lighter. I lent it to them, we started talking, and they ended up telling me they had taken LSD for the first time and were waiting for the trip to kick in. I told them I was high on mushrooms.
I ended up staying with them until the next morning. We ordered food, made a bonfire, and then I went home without even exchanging contacts. It was one of my best trips because of those guys.
I always feel like a gross, sweaty mess when I look in the mirror, especially if I'm about to go outside while tripping. I'm gonna have to take a picture of myself if I use acid ever again. I need to see if there's any truth to this post...
The only time I’ve tripped in public was at the zoo, and it was fucking cool. I was kind of afraid I’d get sad at the animals being in captivity, but I was to distracted with how amazing life is in all its forms to be worried about that lol the reptile house was the best. The scales morphing around the snakes was a really fun experience. I will say if anyone wants to do this, know your limits. Since there’s usually a lot of people there, it can easily become overstimulating.
I remember taking a bunch of acid during a Peter Frampton show at the Trump Taj Mahal. I tripped my fricken balls off and the show exit was on the board walk. The first guy I walked across yelled “that dude is tripping hard”
Last time I tripped in public was at a music festival. I hit the dose perfect and I felt so fucking cool. Completely in control, held it together perfectly for security but man did the grass look awesome. Like I was a giant walking along an endless grassy world. Lights were beautiful and the vibes were peak. I would absolutely love to get that specific trip again
Honestly look at all the people you see walking around, would you guess that any random person you looked at would be tripping? Even if they're acting a little weird? Or do you just walk past them and go about your day?
That's how I imagine everyone is looking at me, just the same way I look at them, and it makes being out in public a breeze
Been a long time since I tripped but once in college I walked on to a basketball court in the middle of a pickup game, asked to see the ball at half court, drained it on an overhead behind the back throw, and walked away. Coolest I ever felt
My last night in Tokyo I dropped a tab I was wanting to split, but the group all spilt up. I stayed with my buddy to watch the sunset at the top of shibya tower. Was a wild night, made it through fine until my ex-gf finally noticed back at the hotel. I was like “yea, I figured you would have known.” Apparently she didn’t which is wild cause she introduced me to it.
10/10 would do it again. Beautiful city with wonderful textures. Plus side nobody bumps into you in Japan.
Except if you have light eyes you still look like a crack head because your eyes go completely black, can’t hide those pupils. If you have brown eyes you’re good though.
Can't find legit Blotters and I live in a college town. No joke 19 colleges. 3 major colleges a Junior college a religious college. A ton of trade schools from CDL welding HVAC but not a drop of Blotters in sight. Meth heads tweaking on the corners but legitimate medication like shrooms or Blotters Gel pyramid can't be found maybe a trip to Colorado might help?
Untill you start talking
Fr, I'm 100% comfortable walking around a busy city centre on acid, but as soon as I have to speak to a sober person I completely lose it, its just so confusing to try talk with them.
My ass goes back to being completely nonverbal on the peak lol
I can speak even when tripping crazy hard, but it starts sounding like jumbled word vomit, and I'll slur and trail off the ends of most words.
so true on slurring the end of sentences. It's like your mouth/tongue relaxes before you finish whatever you were saying. I also get a weird difficulty with hearing what I am saying (maybe because I'm overanalysing my speech) which makes it even harder to get words out without slurring or trailing off haha
Same and since I used to beat the shit out of for that as a kid I just go nonverbal lol
Literally thought I was the only one.
Nah it definitely happens to the best of us. I think its related to being punished when I couldn't get my words out as a child
I swear bro, the frequencies are different
I had a full conversation with a stranger on a hiking trail who had run out of water and asked if I had any to share while peaking on 500ug. After, my sitter had to calm me down because i was nervous that I was a weirdo to the guy even though I was acting perfectly normal.
Unless you had a tolerance built up your tabs were probably underdosed, on 500ug you would not be acting normal, any speech would absolutely be jumbled, and you'd have a very hard time understanding what the hiker was asking for.
i was bouta say, you sure your sitter wasnt bsing you to make ya feel better?
Could have been that too
I used to take it and tell no one. On purpose but just to see if anyone noticed only 3 close friends could notice the saucer eyes. Have fun. Wish I had some of what you got.. nice Christmas it would be.
Seriously. When ordering food while tripping a few weeks ago, I decided I was going to play it off as being drunk to not raise suspicions, and for some reason the words that came out were "i have drank the drunk"

Thats a somewhat painful memory lmao.
I can feel the akward pause after you where done speaking to her.
HAHAHAHAH
Ive noticed this too, almost no one can tell as long as youre chill. Some people on acid just might get paranoid and anxious feelings about how they look, and since they are high those feelings get amplified and thats what can make a person seem to ne tripping if they start freaking out about it

Yeah exactly, I live in a big city but like to trip outdoors so I worked up my courage and after a while I realized no one can tell as long as I dont psych myself out.
It's also important to avoid talking, because it becomes impossible to have a conversation with sober people.
It’s definitely hard to order your thoughts correctly but it just depends on the dose
if im dosing to be able to talk normally, its not about to be a fun trip.
Really? I’ve had a lot of great times in social settings on half a tab. But he that’s just me!
Exactly, thats why I have a rule about never tripping somewhere you have to hide it. Only Festivals, Nature, or at home.
That is a good rule. I extend it to where people won't notice or pay attention to me for more than 5 seconds or so. Walking around the neighborhood is fine, going to buy something at a store less so (though I have, and can keep it together fairly well).
Yall don't worry about like standing in place for too long or something?
Just accept that people are going to think that you’re high on weed and/or autistic.
As for the last one, I’m not saying they ought to think that, but I predict that they will.
most people don't give a fuck.
like seriously, at worse you'll get a "huh" in someones mind.
you are not important enough for people to care or focus on you unless your acting like a crackhead.

One of the fears that remains in the post trip.
Depends what I am doing. But I definitely do not regret watching some live glassblowing for 2ish hours straight
Me and my friends were tripping and walked by some front yard in my neighborhood that had a lot of weird buddhist statues and we were very amazed when the owner came out and started telling how this apartment building was going to be demolished and how she made this front yard to make the best of something which will pass. All while we were tripping and trying to go along and make normal small talk
The building in question has been demolished.

Until someone talks to you lol then the whole facade completely comes apart
My friend, referring to the rave we are at: “Is this here all the time?”
Me, tripping: “Do you mean like eternal recurrence?”
Edit: rave, not race
I can totally feel this conversation rn lol that’s so me when I’m tripping sack
I always trip at hotels and love walking around looking at the decor, especially all the patterned carpets, with my girlfriend. Unless you noticed how fucking dilated our pupils are, it's not really obvious what we are doing.
hotels always seem to have the best carpets for tripping.
This is too accurate

some of the best trips i’ve had have been in public
This is so true lol. I always feel like I’m some hulking sweaty monster but in reality I’m just a little guy looking at something really intensely
Same except I'm 6'3 240lbs so I am a sweaty hulking monster compared to most people
I always feel like a gross, sweaty mess when I look in the mirror, especially if I'm about to go outside while tripping. I'm gonna have to take a picture of myself if I use acid ever again. I need to see if there's any truth to this post...
Going to a chrimbo light show next Sunday in public wish me fortune good friends
As long as you are passive, and just look like you are listening to music or on a walk or something, no one looks that deeplylol
The birds will know
The only time I’ve tripped in public was at the zoo, and it was fucking cool. I was kind of afraid I’d get sad at the animals being in captivity, but I was to distracted with how amazing life is in all its forms to be worried about that lol the reptile house was the best. The scales morphing around the snakes was a really fun experience. I will say if anyone wants to do this, know your limits. Since there’s usually a lot of people there, it can easily become overstimulating.
Am I the only person who doesn’t really care if anyone knows? I’ll straight up tell people lol.
“Hey what are you up to?”
“Living large, took a few tabs so I’m riding the wave, you?” 🤷♂️
Depends for me. In my peak I would be a weirdo and probably wouldnt like to be around many people. In the afterglow Id be pretty chill and funny.
I remember taking a bunch of acid during a Peter Frampton show at the Trump Taj Mahal. I tripped my fricken balls off and the show exit was on the board walk. The first guy I walked across yelled “that dude is tripping hard”
I remember walking home through downtown after seeing Walker & Royce and I swear the bums were scared of me because of the smile on my face
Yall go out in public? I just stay home and watch homestarrunner
fr mate
I've been both.
More like this for some
Last time I tripped in public was at a music festival. I hit the dose perfect and I felt so fucking cool. Completely in control, held it together perfectly for security but man did the grass look awesome. Like I was a giant walking along an endless grassy world. Lights were beautiful and the vibes were peak. I would absolutely love to get that specific trip again
not even about how i look, but how i act. for some reason i depict physical melting while being a solid being.
Honestly look at all the people you see walking around, would you guess that any random person you looked at would be tripping? Even if they're acting a little weird? Or do you just walk past them and go about your day?
That's how I imagine everyone is looking at me, just the same way I look at them, and it makes being out in public a breeze
I don't even like being sober in public most days.
I just get very grinny, I can’t help but
Been a long time since I tripped but once in college I walked on to a basketball court in the middle of a pickup game, asked to see the ball at half court, drained it on an overhead behind the back throw, and walked away. Coolest I ever felt
Maybe more wide eyed and sweaty
I always this
Thankfully I'm regularly anything in between charming and super awkward. Trained hard for that matter one could say.
Public is crazy. Society is crazy. I never feel like I fit into it all, even sober.
My last night in Tokyo I dropped a tab I was wanting to split, but the group all spilt up. I stayed with my buddy to watch the sunset at the top of shibya tower. Was a wild night, made it through fine until my ex-gf finally noticed back at the hotel.

I look at myself in the mirror when I'm on mushrooms and that's what I see
Can't find legit Blotters and I live in a college town. No joke 19 colleges. 3 major colleges a Junior college a religious college. A ton of trade schools from CDL welding HVAC but not a drop of Blotters in sight. Meth heads tweaking on the corners but legitimate medication like shrooms or Blotters Gel pyramid can't be found maybe a trip to Colorado might help?
It was so funny going outside my first time. It was last summer it felt like a dream when I biked in my local park.
Now looking to get some new acid because I want to trip again.
r/drugscirclejerk
Yeah maybe until you try to have a conversation lol
I literally tripped yesterday and couldn't be in public alot just because i thought i looked like the first pic 😭
