1: Go out into nature | Outdoor Tripping
The best thing you can do while tripping on psychedelics? Go out into nature! It will be a beautiful and incredible experience that you will never forget. The world is crystal clear and has never been more beautiful. You feel incredibly connected to the earth and can finally find your inner peace. It is the best place to trip if you want to meditate or reach a deeper understanding of yourself. For this it is important that you choose a place where you meet as few people as possible. Large forests, the dunes or vast nature reserves are perfect for an outdoor trip. Please go well prepared. Think of company, food, drinks, suitable clothing and a charged phone.
Be careful: tripping in nature can be pretty intense. Especially if you are not alone and meet all kinds of strange people. It is therefore only recommended for experienced psychonauts. Is this your first time tripping? Choose a familiar place and postpone nature for a while. Read more about your first trip here.
Ricardo: “I went for an evening tripping with two friends. It was already late and the sun was almost coming up. We decided to take a good dosage of magic mushrooms and walk to a nearby nature reserve. Just before we got there, the shrooms hit like a bomb. The sun came up. It was so incredibly beautiful. For an hour, all three of us were silent, walking along the trails and through the woods while listening to chill music.
The trees, the grass... everything seemed to breathe and I felt one with nature. After a while we came to the lake. We sat down on the dock, with our bare feet in the water. A cigarette and a drink with us. So beautiful, it looked like a movie. We sat there tripping for a while and then laid down in the wet grass. I could feel the life in the soil when I laid my head down on the grass. We tripped for almost 4 hours in the nature reserve. It became awkward when the first people passed by who were walking their dogs. Then we went home. The experience was magical. We will do it again soon.”
Make some psychedelic art!
2: Make some art | Trippy Art
Perhaps you have already heard that a psychedelic trip can bring new insights into your life. But not only that: your creative insights also go to a new level. Creating art while tripping can produce incredibly cool trippy art. Grab a few sheets of paper and pencils. Let your brain do the work and draw whatever comes to mind. You don't have to be able to paint or draw beautifully. It's about letting your thoughts run free and translating them into art. You can make it as crazy as you want. Pull open the paint and go body painting on your trip-buddy. You can also write your thoughts down, by the way. Make a poem or a beautiful story, created from insights you got while tripping. Creating art or writing down your thoughts can help you get things off your chest. It is very calming and meditative.
Did you know that many artists and writers have created their best works under the influence of psychedelics? Just look up "psychedelic art" or "psychedelic artist". Some examples are Tokio Aoyama, Mario Martinez and David Normal. Whether they were actually tripping while creating their works is not entirely known. But psychedelic drugs have certainly had a great influence on certain art movements. New art movements have even been created through the use of psychedelics. Get inspired, get out your canvas and live it up. Maybe you will be the new Rembrandt (but just a little different).
Layla: “Together with my best friend, I use LSD from time to time. We had already written songs and made drawings during one of our trips. We thought it would be great to paint, so we got all the supplies in the house. The first 1.5 hours of the trip were very intense and we couldn't focus on our work. After a while we got into a relaxed and creative vibe. Our paintings became more and more beautiful, but also more absurd and strange. Some we really couldn't show to other people.
After a while, we joked about body painting. What started as a joke, seemed like a really fun idea at one point. We grabbed an old comforter cover and I borrowed a bikini from her. I laid down and my girlfriend was able to have fun. Whether it turned out really nice, I don't dare say. But we had the most fun. We laughed for hours and made crazy things on our own bodies. Afterwards we had to shower for 20 minutes to get everything off us. And cleaning up took much longer. By the way, one of the paintings is in my study. I love it.”
Music has never sounded so beautiful!
3: Listen to music | Trip Music
Listening to music takes on a whole new meaning when you're tripping. You don't just hear it. You feel and taste it too. First, make sure the setting is perfect and make yourself a nice place to sit. For example, throw lots of pillows on the couch, turn off the lights and light a candle. Start with your own favorite music. You have to figure out for yourself what works for you while tripping. Is it psychedelic rock? Goa or psy-trance? Mellow reggae? A melodic techno or just your favorite pop artist? Go find the ideal trip music for you. Close your eyes and let the music carry you away. Songs or albums are a whole journey in themselves. You understand the message or story behind the music even better while tripping. Think of it as listening to 3D music.
Some musicians are inspired by psychedelic drugs. It is also almost certain that some music was created under the influence of magic mushrooms, LSD or other psychedelics. Music that is based on psychedelics naturally does well when you are tripping yourself. But there are also songs that are not intended for this purpose, but can nevertheless enhance a trip. Here are some artists you should listen to while tripping. How about Pink Floyd, Grateful Death, Tame Impala, Paul Horn, The Doors, The War on Drugs, Jimi Hendrix, Shpongle, Ben Howard, … The Beatles, Ozric Tentacles, Ben Böhmer, Noisia, Skrillex, Lane 8, Phase, Dead Meadow, Hallucinogen, Jefferson Airplane and many others?
Max: “We were using 2CB with a bunch of friends at my house. We watched videos on Youtube, played our own music and just sat around and talked. It was late and everyone went home. I stayed with one friend and decided to take some more. I have a record player at home with music by Pink Floyd, The Beatles and The Doors, among others. So, trippy classics. The sun came up, we laid by the window and could look outside. The music was so beautiful. It touched me very much. So intense, that at one point I started crying. A kind of tears of happiness. It meant so much to me at that moment. Very strange, but also very nice. Music really makes you feel something when you're tripping. I enjoyed it for four hours.”
Playing trippy games will certainly cause a laughing kick.
4: Gaming and Playing Games | Trippy Games
Playing games with a bunch of friends is always fun and entertaining. Imagine when you are tripping. From a game of checkers to Monopoly and from Call of Duty to Star Wars games. It can make your evening great. A board game guarantees laughs. Video games bring you a kind of tunnel vision, making it seem like you are in the game yourself. Often trippy games only work if the trip is not too intense. Otherwise it is difficult to keep your mind on it. A mild trip and a cozy table full of games is a good combination. In the meantime you can talk, laugh and act crazy. Priceless.
Yessin: “Together with a group of friends we sometimes enjoy magic truffles. We had hosted music and movie nights before, but we thought it would be fun to host a tripping game night. We had set the table nicely with small snacks, drinks and games. We started with Jenga, then 30-seconds and a game of bullying. Then someone came up with the idea to play Hints. That game where you can't say anything, but only act out. We all had to make up 10 words and put them in a bin. You can imagine that they were very vague and strange words.
Once we started, the first word went completely wrong. I had to portray a Gigolo and had to imitate all kinds of sex positions to get them on the right track. After 2 minutes, everyone was on the floor bursting with laughter. We played it for hours. Every time we go on a trip with this group, Hints is a must.”
Having sex while tripping is out of this world!
5: Get into bed | Psychedelic Sex
Having sex while under the influence of psychedelic drugs is out-of-this-world. If you and your partner feel good during the trip and are a little bit horny, dive into the sheets together. Psychedelics change the way your senses work. Sex is many times more intense and feelings are stronger. You melt into each other's bodies and feel every movement. You feel very connected to each other and it makes you tremendously happy. Psychedelic sex is not only incredibly hot, but also very funny. If something silly happens, you can spend 10 minutes laughing uncontrollably.
Sex while tripping is fun, but do it safely. Intense trips can affect your thoughts. Out of the blue you may get a strange feeling or think someone has other intentions. Pay a little attention to each other during sex on psychedelics. Keep talking to each other and make it an unforgettable experience.
Joyce: “My boyfriend and I think sex combined with drugs is fantastic. It started when we came home after a festival and were both really tight on XTC. We had sex and were instantly sold. Not only did it feel really good. My boyfriend could go on for hours and we were both at our best. We had done psychedelics before and we thought it would be interesting. So we did. A few weeks later we did magic mushrooms together and almost immediately jumped into bed.
If you think sex with XTC is intense, you are in for a treat. Once we were tripping, I jumped on top of my boyfriend. It seemed like everything felt 20 times more delicious and intense. We spent at least 2 hours in bed and both had multiple orgasms. But it tasted like more. We wanted to do it once under the influence of mescaline. Through a good friend we could get mescaline powder and we made tea of it.
The trip was very intense and at first we could do nothing but lie down and listen to music. At some point my boyfriend took the lead and we started having sex. It all felt very strange. It felt like we were siamese twins. At some point I lost control of myself a little. My boyfriend looked like a Martian and I panicked. That was not a nice experience. I went outside to smoke and let it sink in. After half an hour everything was fine again and we continued. From that moment on we take it more slowly and pay attention to each other while having sex on psychedelics. Don't think too lightly about it. It can become very absurd. But above all, it is very delicious. We would recommend it to every couple.”
Staring at the TV for hours.
6: Turn on your TV | Trippy Visuals, Movies & Series
Images, visuals, movies or series. They are wonderfully beautiful while tripping. Your television looks like a painting. The colours crawl across the walls to you. The sounds resonate deep into your brain. It's as if you were there yourself. Yes, watching TV while tripping on psychedelics is totally awesome. Especially if you know what to watch. Some movies and series seem to be made especially for psychedelic trips. Like the documentary Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics. Others just do very well when you're in higher spirits. Check out our Top 25 Trippy Movies & Series. There's a little bit of everything in there. From beautiful nature documentaries to futuristic animation series.
Make the setting perfect before you turn on the TV. For example, turn off all the lights so that the screen appears to spread across the entire wall. If you're watching a documentary about the ocean, your entire room will be lit blue. Find a nice place to lie down and make sure there is plenty of food and drinks nearby so you don't have to stir. Watch out you don't get sucked into your television?
Aaron: “I don't really do anything but watch TV when I'm tripping. Often I take magic mushrooms, magic truffles, 2CB or LSD with friends. We turn off all the lights, turn on my 65 inch TV and we're up all night. My favorites are The Midnight Gospel and Planet Earth. The Midnight Gospel is really intense when you're really tripping. The colours pop out of your TV and it all goes by at lightning speed. The stories seem to be made for psychedelic trips. My most absurd experience was with Planet Earth. We watched the whole series. A friend of mine was doing psychedelics for the second time and was tripping hard. You should have seen him! Whenever a volcano came into view, he would get hot and take off his vest. When images of the North Pole came on, he was shivering and put the vest back on. When we looked at an ocean, he held his breath the whole time. We didn't say anything the whole time and he didn't even realize it. How we laughed about it! It shows that when you're tripping, you're really immersed in what you're looking at. You feel like you are there.
By the way, have you ever seen Pikachu on Acid? It’s really great!”
