Hey .net,
Hoping you all could help me with something. My friends are tripping tomorrow for the first time and they want another friend and I to "babysit" them. Anyone have any tips for me? I half know what to expect but at the same time I don't want to do anything to freak them out or ruin their good time.

Maybe they should try it when they are more mature, although at least they are trying to be safe. Won't be fun for you.

I suggest something that freaks them out real good.Like, every time you say something, whisper it and provide your own echo.

You should trip as well....

If you get up to go get something, walk backwards.

Just let to their own devices for the most part, and keep an eye on things. If they get freaked out just smile & remind them that they ingested drugs & will feel better in a few hours.

Avoid mirrors at all costs, or have them see for themselves!

lol... i remember the first few times my college roommates and I tripped, we would hide all the knives and tape the drawer shut.
There really isn't much to babysit... just let them do their own thing unless they going to do something dangerous
lol... yeah avoid mirrors and time. For some reason, my friends and I always made it a point to not ever look at the time.

Give them placebo and YOU take the only real acid. That should be interesting.

Unless they're each dropping ten strips or they're smoking dmt I don't think a sitter is necessary. I suggest you bring weed and beer for yourself.

Everybody is different, but I suggest going somewhere relatively secluded out in nature if possible and the weathers nice. Bring an acoustic if anyone plays or some drums. Might want to try just sitting and meditating for a while if things start to get edgy.Or maybe staying indoors, putting on some headphones and listening to Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish starting roughly 20 minutes after dosing. Cant go wrong there.

Just hang out with them, it should be a simple as that. Try not to make fun of them or do anything to crack their reality.
Definitely bring weed and beer or whatever* for yourself.
*probably not PCP. That might not be helpful.

Try to avoid asking them how they feel all the time/bugging them constantly - just hang out with your other friend as normal and only intercede in case of a real problem

1. Mirrors, definite no no. Stay away from them2. Sleep, no one should sleep, it can cause brain damage in some people.
3. Do not suggest going anywhere unless they do first.
4. No harsh or fast music like metal, dubstep, thrash, uptempo jazz, electronica, drum and bass.
5. Public or crowded areas should be avoided. Unless going to Phish.
6. no messy food if they get hungry like pizza.
7. No narcotics like coke.
8. Do not convince them they are going deaf or blind.
9. Encourage party favors, like funny glasses or wigs. Bubbles are fun and small toys to keep them occupied.
10. If one of them finds an ant on a wall and stares at it, and blows on it for 3 to 4 hours, let them be.
11. Redbull or Monster after 6 hours will re-ignite the trip for an additional 2 hours. That is your call.
12. Keep the Our Father Prayer handy. This does actually work to calm someone down. But you must read the whole prayer, and repeatedly.
13. Do the box gag with your hands. It works every time.

also, the our father prayer would probably launch me into the depths of psychosis, YMMV..

Take away cell phones. My first time I couldn't figure out how to work it, not to mention that everything got all swirly and I became EXTREMELY confused.
I was with my sister (who has more L experience than I do) and she caught me just as I started freaking out about my cell.
"Oh yeah, don't look at your cell phone."
That's all she had to say, like it was some longtime rule for tripping. I put it away and had a great time the rest of the night!

@Busta_Move - really? I absolutely hated mirrors. And bathrooms in general. Actually, I always preferred to be outside. Walks in the woods and such were always the best times for me.
Score: 1
Yeah it was awesome. I could see deep into my Scandanavian roots....my ancestors & stuff. I watched myself turn into a wolf, a demon, an angel, a Hindu God, etc,etc.... I'll never forget the way the toliet in the upstairs bathroom of my parents house sounded as it flushed. All slow motion too.....Sign'd on being outside, that's the best place for it.

@Busta_Move said: There's nothing wrong with mirrors.....I used to love staring into them & getting lost in the hallucinations.I second that, mirrors can be a lot of fun. I spent about 30mins in a bathroom facing a mirror and walking towards it and away from it.

I love mirrors when i'm tripping (not the song, all the drugs in the world couldn't make that good.) Everytime I go to the bathroom when tripping I usually spend a minute or so staring at it. I find it funny how big my pupils get when I trip, it always cracks me up. The main things I would suggest is staying occupied and having good music to listen to. Nothing is worse than tripping balls with nothing to do. Everybody is different so there's really no way of knowing what people will be comfortable with once they start feeling it. Nature walks and bonfires are great (although, you have to be cautious that nobody does anything stupid around it.) One of the last times I tripped my friends and I just stayed up all night getting stoned, listening to music and playing N64. Damn that was fun haha.

Driving tripping is a lot of fun. Depends on your tolerance and how hard you're tripping I guess. I'm not advoacting driving while f***ed up, but ya know. After Mansfield last year I drove my friend Becky's car to Darien right after the show. It was one of my most fun drives I have ever done. Seh slept, I raged Utica on a dark highway. It truly felt like a video game. But in a good way. As far as phones go. Sometimes you need them. At shows, if I'm starting to get really weird, pulling out the phone and flipping through it is a great way to get some normalcy back into your brain. Doing "regular" type stuff in that mode, you just kind of come back to earth.

Just don't let them stick forks in electrical sockets of chase after moving cars and everything will be fine. It might be hard for you to connect with them but bring something "trippy" and bust it out when they are peaking just to be a good guy. But don't get all in their faces if your not trippin' it can be annoying.

During a cold fall night some friends and I had some L that we were holding onto for the right occasion. On a whim we thought it would be a good idea to take it that night since we had nothing else better to do. We were still in highschool at the time so we were confined to the basement in his parents house (which was finished atleast) with nothing to entertain ourselves but basic cable. Not very enjoyable. In hindsight we should of planned better but that's the downside of being young and stupid. You do stupid things. I'm quite envious that you got to sit outside and enjoy nice weather with a 3rd story view.
