Should I take shrooms on the beach with my friends

[Noahsteelers34]

It's been almost a year since my last trip, and I've been waiting for the perfect time.  Me and my best friends are going on a trip to Ocean City New Jersey right after our semester ends, and my friends insisted on taking them together on the beach. I feel like it would be nice being out in nature, and also tripping with my best friends, but at the same time am not sure if its a good idea to do them outside.

does anyone have experience tripping outside or with friends? the most I've done is 1.5 grams and am looking to go deeper and have a mind blowing experience this time. I was thinking around 2.5 grams.

A few things; 

 

-You wont be able to really experience the trip, your friends will be distracting you. Don't expect to contemplate much or connect with the medicine deeply 

- Seeing that you're out in public away from a bed. It could go bad and you could potentially have a rough time. Personally I hate tripping in public. Get way too tripped out. But having friends with you could help

 

If you're doing it just for fun or a good time it should be fine and could be great. Just have your own space and don't take too much. Less is more

Some of my most life-changing shroom trips were actually outside (in a big city - but at a time when it wasn't that crowded, think "late Tuesday evening") and with a group of friends, most of whom are deep into psychonautics an consciousness work. But I can see how it could potentially go sideways if it's more of a "broooo let's pop some mushies on the beach man, I heard this stuff's mind-blowing" kind of situation. Doesn't mean it will, but it could. But if your bros are chill and mature you will most likely be good.

There is a certain synergy effect to mushrooms: if you are taking them collectively, people sort of "speed each other up", so the subjective effect of 1.5g can feel more something like 2.5g, keep that in mind. Also, if you are going for a "mind-blowing experience", then an option to sit/lay down should be readily available at any time. In general, it is probably a bit counter-productive to go for some "grand metaphysical earth-shattering realizations" in a social setting; however, I assure you, the deep appreciation of "mundane" things and quality time with your people can be equally, if not more, epic sometimes.

2 grams dried sounds like a plan. Have fun!

Depends on how busy the beach is, you guys will go much more 'deeper' if you go to a more secluded beach and have an intimate trip. If you wanna make most of the medicine that is. My first experience was a secluded beach house with two close brothers and there was only a few people who visited the beach the entire day so we pretty much had the place to ourselves and made a fire afterwards into the evening, one of the most meaningful experiences I've had. Feels like yesterday and yet a lifetime ago.

Taking psychedelics by the beach is actually quite good. I took 125ug of LSD on a beautiful beach once and the visuals are amazing. You can always bring a sheet or towel to lay down in the sand. Incredible connective experience.

It's nice if you're alone and have space imo. When i trip it's really dramatic, dancing moving laughing crying and I don't like people looking at me while I go through that process.

@BlessedLion I definitely agree with that, the only thing is when I’m tripping alone I feel like it’s easier for me to go to a dark place then when I’m with people. Same thing with being outside versus just cooped up in my room 

@M A J I

Ocean city is definitely not the first thing I think of when you say “secluded” haha
