First Time Trying stuff At Coachella

[Boourns]

Wow that seems intense. How was the comedown/afterglow (if there is either pertaining to shrooms) after Friday and how did you manage on Saturday knowing the next day you would be tripping on L?

I know someone that was extremely depressed and devoid of energy all day Saturday after shrooming out at Fever Ray, but I don't know if that's the norm or what.

[heart cooks brain]

I ALWAYS feel like shit the day after an intense mushroom trip. sometimes i have crazy anxiety attacks when i'm coming down. other times it's fine. acid is much more smooth

Im always fine and dandy the next day after a shroom trip, sometimes with acid though I can feel a little fried the next day.

But you see man theres no right answer, everyone has different experiences with this

[Gribbz]

Has anyone ever had their first experience with tripping at Coachella? If so, how was the trip and what were the circumstances? I am considering trying something during the next Coachella, but I'm still hesitant about experiencing an intense alteration of the mind

Personally, I wouldn't trip for the first time at a music festival. I recommend tripping in a controlled environment first.

I took shrooms during Fever Ray this year... intense as hell... and it wasn't even close to my first time.

I'm done with mushrooms at Coach.

EDIT* What Greghead said.

[GnarVee]

started munchn shrooms for Atoms for Peace.....didn't really kick in till Snoop Dogg's verse during Gorillaz's performance of Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach.

most terifying....mind blowing....life changing experience.

Like everyone says, depends. Are you cool in crowds? Will you lose your shit externally? Do you have deep rooted issues that may become your focus and make you miss out on Coachella? Will you go over the recommended amount because you can handel it? Obviously you will be surrounded by a lot of good vibes and that is very excellent for your space journey, but you have to do your part and not be a baby about it. That first hour can be a bitch. If you do it at Coachella for the first time, make sure you are with experienced friends who can keep reminding you things will be cool. Don't forget to have water, juice or Gatorade handy before you eat them. Standing in long lines can be facsinating, but there are better things to do and see.

This. That night after Fever Ray...I don't even know...it was such a fun night until everyone went to be around 3 and I was still wide awake and going strong

[juloxx]

ya fucking right

[303dubbin]

mmmm i love me some dmt. idk about that early tho.

[unknown]

Fucking Darryl.

Hmmm maybe Fever Ray mushroom cult wasn't such a great idea afterall... So many people experienced terror that night.

[sbessiso]

I loved it, sure those shrooms made me move to the back to sit and wrap myself in a blanket during echo and the bunnymen but goddamn it was great and dont even get me started on vampire weekend, that shit was spectacular

miss you lilia

[Gribbz]

I've only tried acid once... but it was fantastic. Way better than mushrooms. I might do it at Coachella.

[Cdubby]

I got so baked in 2009 watching the Yeah Yeah Yeah's that I was just staring at the sky, looking at all the colors. I thought the apocalypse was occurring and I started freaking out- but it was all internal, I kept a cool demeanor on the outside. Not sure how that happened with just weed. I would definitely be naked wizard man if I touched a hallucinogen.

[heart cooks brain]

I started tripping out from pot at Pitchfork '08 during dodos. There wasn't a cloud in the sky I felt like I was in the truman show, inside a perfect blue-ceilinged dome. I shook it off after a minute or so, but it was weird.

we should do this as a group. I learned my lesson, much more fun to trip with other tripping friends. ninja tune taught me a lesson or seven fantasmiccc

[Mr. Porter]

I never thought this thread would get this much response. Thanks to all for the input. I'm inclined towards tripping in a comfortable environment rather than Coachella...for now. I will stick to bud and culminate all the great memories of the weekend by rolling on Sunday. Same regimen as this past Coachella!

I had done mushrooms before but the first time I did them at Coachella, I ate them during the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they hit me way faster then they ever have before, maybe the heat? But, it was super intense, I love the YYYs, but honestly was having a very hard time enjoying the music or even focusing on anything in particular because of the visuals. Continued having a bad trip for about 20 minutes, then my friend who was also tripping basically just said everything was fine, lets see My Bloody Valentine. Trip immediately got amazing My Bloody Valentine>Public Enemy>The Cure>Etienne De Crecy was an amazing lineup for tripping.
Long story short, even if you do freak out, it likely won't last the whole time, but be prepared for part of it to be really intense. Even with the freak out at the beginning I did them again last year and had a great time as well, but similar experience. Might as well try them before, some people try them and hate them or get really sick, so you definitely don't want that to make you miss a day of Coachella.
As for comedowns, I seriously have never even heard of a shroom comedown or feeling shitty the next day. Every time I have taken them when its over, I kind of just feel like I am tripping a little bit until I go to sleep, wake up and feel like a million bucks.

I need a strong, sexy bear man to watch (take advantage?) over me. Know anyone?

[choice cat]

i would really want my first time frying to be at coachella because of the possibility of it being super fuckin awesome.. but i just don't like the idea of it being either really really good or horrible/worst day ever.

[juloxx]

It pretty much comes down to this....

if Coachella is during a full moon fucking do it

[choice cat]

i don't follow

[ivankay]

Full moons have the potential to dance along with everyone else.

Well I didn't feel anything that Saturday as far as the mushroom after effect. I didn't do any drugs Saturday though except weed and then I've always wanted to do acid so I was just anxious and it was the best things to ever happen to me.

Take in mind though I'm a very positive person and don't get mad or stressed easily and I love being alone. So my story may vary than yours. I freaked out for 5 minutes on my Acid trip but I composed myself. Some people can't compose themselves after feeling a certain way

[Gribbz]

Agreed! I did it with my best friend... made a big difference.

[heart cooks brain]

It is much easier to bring yourself back to baseline normalcy on acid compared to mushrooms. Mushrooms have a mind of their own, while acid is basically your mind, but wrong, if that makes sense.

[westcoastpirate]

I don't know about that, I think it's easier to come down from shrooms than acid. I've only done acid once at Coachella 2009 and I won't ever do it again.
