Going to a cabin in the woods Airbnb with a friend. I plan on music and good snacks, but otherwise don't really know how to set a good vibe.
How long does it last?
Recommended movies or other activities?
Edit: great tips and advice all around. My friend is not 100% sure they want to partake, so it might have to want for another weekend. I'll post updates if it happens
Edits: ya know a lot about drugs 🧐
Before going, have you used a test kit? If not, PLEASE consider waiting until you can test your shit.
My friend dropped acid with me, only to discover later on that it was 1) 5 times the strength of what would be considered a typical beginner's dose and 2) laced with another substance, maybe PCP. He broke my jaw when he started to trip out and we both had to be hospitalized.
If you have tested it and its fine, then definitely spend most of your time outside! Remember to put sunscreen / bugspray on beforehand, though. The strongest effects will last for like 6-8 hours, with the whole trip easily lasting 12, and you'll definitely appreciate looking at clouds / plants / the world in general. Additionally, I would suggest weed or cigarettes (if you dont think you'll get hooked, of course, and dont mind a little tobacco) when the effects start to wear off. I've found it makes the comedown smoother.
I found that, on psychedelics, I very rarely have an appetite. The snacks will definitely be good for after the trip, though.
Simple comedy shows or movies are good, as are visually stimulating movies. I wouldn't pick anything with too harsh a tone or with a lot of violence. Definitely bring some paint or colored pencils with paper! A fun drawing game my friends and I did was that we all took turns drawing different parts of a creature (someone drew the legs, then passed the notepad / paper to someone else who drew the torso, etc), but honestly, as others have said, any kind of art might be really enjoyable.
A few additional tips:
I just wanna say that, no matter what you may feel in the moment if you start to spiral, remember that the trip WILL end. I've had bad trips where I can't shake the feeling that I'll be trapped in the hallucinogenic reality, and I definitely agree with others when they say that its best to let go, enjoy it, and explore the experience.
As others have said, blankets will be nice to snuggle up in! Also, just for safety purposes, definitely let a friend know where you are and when they can expect you to come back (say, the afternoon after the day you trip).
Connecting with the other people who are tripping with you is fairly magical and a good trip is unforgettable. Enjoy the experience comrade!
