My first shroom trip was extreme beyond extreme. But I loved it, smotoh the whole way.

You have to be very at ease to enjoy a high-dose trip. Intensity will get the best of you at least once (out of the some 100+ hallucinogenic trips I've made, exactly 6 were bad, to any degree), but I am not saying it's goign to happen.

I figured I'd have many bad trips, being as I am a big thinker and I like to list possibilities. However, that first trip was so intense that I believe it actually stopped me from thinking about anything else besides anything important.

This most likely will not happen to you. I am a very relaxed person, I was miles from anything to care about, and time wass not an issue.

Just make sure you can mentally check off everything on this list before you trip. By the way, "The Man" refers to anyone you would not want to be tripping in the same room with.

- I can walk five minutes in any direction and will have a 50/50 chance or greater of avoiding the man.
- I can talk to everyone in this group about my trip and not feel threatened by their responses.
- I would most likely have a decent conversation with everyone hin my trip group if I were alone with them.
- I would not be surprised to see most of the surrounding people around other known trippers or stoners.
- None of the surrounding people, and I mean NONE, will come into any contact with The Man any time soon.
- I trust all of the surrounding people to not attempt to ruin my trip.
- None of these people will be doing anything that makes me feel uncomfortable.

It may seem silly, but it can all affect a trip.

Happy tripping, by the way.
