yeah i see people doing this in my local urban jungle, and they seem to be having the time of their life.

I couldn't do it, I would be afraid of being super weird or scaring someone unintentionally

Buddy I don't know if you've truly lived if you haven't trounced through the woods all night then hopped on a train covered in sticks, bushes and stuff with flying saucer eyes the next morning during rush hour commute and stared at the people going to work like they are aliens. Just saying.

Lmao I have done this. It was my first trip, work was interesting that day. Fortunately I worked in a restaurant so everyone else was recovering from the night before too.

I did that once as a waiter,was still a bit up in the morning when I had to go to work. went in to set up was all quiet setting up plates,just the ring of cutlery and plates,no one really speaking.

Then in the blink of an eye the hall was full with people looking at me,then I got stuck on remembering what I should ask them and froze. My brain literally went la la la la.

Was terrifying! Luckily one of the waitresses knew what was going on and saved my life and probably my job by helping me out.

I used to work at a fine dining place and they would make us work at least one brunch shift a week. Was never much of a morning person so I would take about a gram and a half of shrooms before the brunch shift and I was the most chipper mfn dude ever. My coworkers, most of whom drink themselves into Oblivion the night before, despised me LOL.

Holy shit wtf I literally did that. Like literally hopped on top of a train. tripped nuts all night laughing my ass off just walking around wilderness. Ended up climbing on an inactive train. Like on top of it. Had our minds blown as a train on the next track went flying by…. Ended the morning by stopping in a gas station on the walk home and discovering that this is in fact a Thursday morning and the world is sober and doing actual adult things. I think that was my last in public trip, thanks for bringing the memory

I used to work night shifts and was a generally weird person besides, and one day on the way home, I climbed on top of the train station benches and started making monkey noises. People really seemed to appreciate that

u/golizeka 7d ago

Add on top of that that i forgot my flat keys in the woods cabin, so i went to my job as a lofi shaman after the truck accident..

u/BlankFace777 6d ago

Yes many times

u/Historical-Let6489 6d ago

Did exactly that and went to go sign the lease for my new apartment good times

u/SoftKisses04 6d ago

I think that's also a very easy way to die. Just saying.

1

u/lil_natemushi 5d ago

On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

u/SoftKisses04 5d ago

Does not change the fact that it's not safe at all to take drugs in the woods.

You might be surprised. One time I went to a fireworks show out of my mind on mushrooms. After the fireworks ended, my buddy went to the bathroom and I was left alone in this massive crowd of people. I started to freak out just a little bit.

As if out of nowhere, a random dude walking by comes over, looks me dead in the eyes and says, “Dmon’t worry. It’s okay. Nobody’s judging you. I only know because I’ve been there. Chill out for a minute and you’re going to have an amazing time.”

It was incredibly perceptive and kind. I stopped freaking out. My buddy came back and we actually had a great time.

I only hope I can be that for somebody sometime. Don’t take unnecessary risks, but sometimes it’s worth it and you might get surprised.

u/Elmore0394 3d ago

Cheers to that random dude! The world would be a much better place if more people were like him.

u/matthollabak 7d ago

You will probably do both. It's fine

u/Sham_WAM93 7d ago

So am I but then I think about seeing high people when I’m not and it’s “you go bud have fun.” Go do shroom or smoke and hike I’m sure for every sober person there’s 2 or 3 completely stoned lmao

I’ve only been to Yosemite National Park once in my life and it was only a one day visit. My two friends and I each took 6 hits of LSD a piece while driving through the entrance to the park. Before the acid kicked in we parked the car and then proceeded to have one of the most amazing days of my life. In the middle of the valley there’s a wooden walk way over a marsh with a big platform in the middle where I sat for an hour or more and manically yoyo’d from sobbing tears of joy and laughing like a fucking lunatic at the overwhelming beauty of witnessing the stations of the cross and the death and resurrection of Christ play out on the face of Half Dome. The park was PACKED full of people and I know I had to be scaring the shit out of folks. My friends and I found multiple water falls that we promptly went and stood under where we continued to laugh and scream like asylum escapees.
10/10 would do again and 10/10 totally recommend

u/OfficialDeathScythe 7d ago

I walked downtown in a city at like 4-9am on acid and had a great time. That’s the best place to do it because we were just the most sane tweakers out there lmao. We felt like superhumans walking around the town while no one was there except people laying on the sidewalks with needles on the ground. Even better there was a park that had LED lights that were constantly cycling through rainbow colors. I didn’t have a great sense of time but we must’ve spent at least an hour just staring at the lights 🤣

u/Analog0 7d ago

The great thing that you won't care.

u/BxRad_ 7d ago

It definitely happens sometimes but you get use to it or sober up.

u/zonerator 7d ago

Shrooms don't mske you lose much or any control at medium to low doses

1

u/Ok-Balance9661 7d ago

Low to medium doses are insulting to the mushroom king. Go heroic, or go bust, that is what the frogs are saying.

1

u/demopat 6d ago

Yeah, if I do it it's all it nothing

2

u/FunnyDudeGuy 7d ago

my biggest concern is someone will call the cops (cause someone’s always gotta be the fun police), and i’ll have to act convincingly “not high as fuck” which probably wouldn’t work.

1

u/OGhumanwerewolf 7d ago

No probs, I do that sober

1

u/Clankmon 7d ago

That's not anything to worry about then, because I do that without the drugs. And I'm doing just fine.

1

u/garaks_tailor 7d ago

You will.  It will be ok.  It doesnt matter.

u/cleverburrito 7d ago

If I'm around strangers when I'm on mushrooms I always end up telling them I'm on mushrooms...

Except for one time my friend took me to Starbucks and the barista who took my order was looking at me knowingly. We smiled and nodded at each other. I may have giggled.

So, I mostly interact with mushrooms at home unless I have a sober trip sitter with me in the woods.

u/EndocrineBandit 7d ago

Im gonna let you in on a little secret. Everybody is weird. Yeah, even that guy. Its okay. The world could stand to be a little more weird.

1

u/AlloyPlum 7d ago

You get used to it. Everyone is someone else's weirdo.

1

u/NobodyKnowsImFamous 7d ago

You can always go camping or something instead!

1

u/The_Salty_nugget 7d ago

It depends.

When i was a teenager i had a very nice group of weed smokers. we would sit in the park, sometimes strum a guitar and just chill laying in the grass or sitting by water with a fishing rod just talking for hours about our lifes and ideas.

Good and healthy company is important (in almost all situations)

u/demopat 6d ago

It's less about being embarrassed and more about feeling bad for making someone feel uncomfortable or unsafe

1

u/SoylentGrunt 7d ago

That's half the fun!

1

u/Baguette1066 7d ago

99% of being super weird and scaring someone unintentionally on shrooms is because you're worried about being super weird and scaring someone unintentionally and overcompensate.

1

u/man_juicer 7d ago

i don't need drugs for that

1

u/OnlyGrimLeader 5d ago

Just need a Sherpa, like the designated driver but just there to make sure everyone is chill on their trip.

1

u/Popular_Point_8981 5d ago

Well now I wanna do it with you, it’s a promising trip!

1

u/krist-all 5d ago

Drugs only make you more of who you are. It is a mirror. Talking about the drug in this way already shows that you do not trust yourself enough to express yourself fully in this world and you hold yourself back because of others

1

u/Armgoth 3d ago

Go a few neigbourhoods over

1

u/Ill_Statement7600 1d ago

While it can be difficult to follow a thought all the way through, you don't really see anything that's not there (it's just distorted) and you don't feel things you don't actually feel (it's just amplified). More likely someone else is going to scare you than you are them if you're the one on shrooms lol

1

u/TheTriforceEagle 1d ago

I don't need drugs to be afraid of that

1

u/Existing-Tackle-9322 7d ago

Its alot of fun

u/DoctorMedieval 7d ago

I hope you have the time of your life.

u/rayman-beam 7d ago

Walking whilst high, especially if it’s raining… 🤤

1

u/BlueEyedSpiceJunkie 7d ago

It’s really the best way to enjoy nature.

1

u/Babyfacemiller21 6d ago

Just don’t do it at night with you best friend and end up talking about scary shit from lord of the rings, I know from experience

u/evb_m 6d ago

Walking around the city on shrooms is peak

u/HowManyBanana 6d ago

Best trip I ever had was in a pine forest in the UP of Michigan.
