Hi, I've recently got my hands on some psilocybin shrooms. This is supposedly enough to get me trippin. I still have a few questions though:
Do I have enough sitters for me and my friends? I have two sitters, and there will be three of us tripping.
Is outdoors a safe environment to do this?
(Woodsy area)
Anything else I need to know?
no matter where you are on shrooms you'll have fun.
Also a sitter? That's really not necessary for a shrooms trip unless you're doing more than like 7 grams.
You can get a bad trip, two sitters should be plenty though.
You're all set. Enjoy.
I think people over-exaggerate the need for trip sitters. The only drug I've ever needed a watchful eye for is alcohol.
Nature is best. I recommend trying to get some knowledge out of them rather than just doing them for fun, though either way you will have an adventure.
You don't need any sitter on mushroom unless you take a lot more than usual. And outside will be perfect, be ready for a nice trip and have fun!
2 sitters is definitely more than you need, but you will have a great time. Try not to get lost in the woods >.<

I know first hand that trip sitters are important. My friend broke his hand because I stepped out for 5 minutes to talk to my dad one night. It's bad if something DOES go wrong, better safe than sorry. That usually seems the route you like to take Anubis, keeping people safe. I'm rather surprised with your answer.
How did your friend break his hand? What was he on and how much did he take?
I mean, sure, you should have a trip sitter if you're taking more than an eighth of shrooms and you aren't very experienced with psychedelics, but on a low dose in a semi-controlled environment, what kind of trouble are you going to get yourself into?
If you've got a bunch of newbies trippin in the woods, then yeah, it would definitely be a good idea to have someone sober keepin an eye on everyone.
The first time we took LSD together, we did it on a camping trip. There were five of us there. Four of us took LSD and one guy (no longer a member of the group) was drinking. Only two of us had taken LSD before, and I didn't trip the previous time (Alcohol weakens the effects of LSD significantly). By the time we were coming up, the other guy was already drunk. So there were the four of us, tripping pretty fucking hard on a relatively new drug for us, and one drunk guy, in an unfamiliar campsite in southern Illinois, more than four hours from home. The night was crazy, but went on without any issues. We managed to get a fire burning, cook food, etc etc, while tripping.

My point is: if people can't handle themselves on a drug, they shouldn't be doing the drug.
Hmm... I didn't think of it like that. That definitely makes sense, and I agree with it. I always know if I can handle a drug, and if I can't I say no thank-you.
Mine happened with a kid who had done them before, and only did 2 grams. He just tripped really hard, and he wasn't even having a bad time, he was just stupid and said "I like pain" and tried to get pain for himself. Turned really bad from there, because the other sitters were shitty and didn't do anything about it. They wanted to tell him that fucking spiders were all over him. Retards.
I'm just saying if you think you will need one, you shouldn't be doing it. But you still will, so use one please. They do serve a good purpose.

Sound reasonable Anubis?

Acid is a good drug to have a sitter with to be honest. So is coke considering how much you can do all at once.

Okay, I think I may be misrepresenting my views on this. Responsible drug use dictates that trip sitters are vital. I agree that trip sitters are important, especially when diving into a new drug. I just think that many people are too worried about having a trip sitter. There are a lot of times that I wouldn't have minded someone to be there to reassure me and remind me that it's just a drug, but I've never truly [b]needed[/b] a trip sitter, nor has anyone that I've tripped with. In fact, in "difficult" periods of a trip, we all prefer to be alone.
Trip sitters are good for people who don't know how they will react on a drug. There is absolutely nothing wrong with covering all your bases and making sure there's someone there watching your back. I guess the thing that irks me about the OP is that he and his fellow trippers sound like a bunch of kids who are planning to go in the woods and take some drugs to see crazy shit. I hate kids who think that drugs are all fun and games. Those are the stupid fuckers who truly need trip sitters.
There are people who need trip sitters to pull them out of dark spots, and then there are people who need trip sitters to make sure they don't do stupid shit and hurt themselves or others. I have no problem with the former, but I don't think the latter should be doing drugs.

I don't know. Of all the hallucinogens I might have an issue with, LSD seems the least likely.

I just prefer to trip alongside people that I can trust to handle themselves well under the influence. I don't like having sober people around, because it takes away from the experience. You just need to take the time to somewhat plan-out the trip beforehand.

I love your way of thinking. It's so different from mine but at the same time I totally get it. You articulate your point well sir. My best friend trip sits me, and he can't do the drugs himself for medical reasons, so he really gets into it and lets me explain things, and REALLY tries to make me trip more, because he wants to know what it feels like. It's awesome, my trip sitter is fantastic. Maybe that's why I like one so much. I don't like being alone through a rough patch. Tonight I do, for other reasons, but usually I like other people there. Keeps me happy.
I do think there is a place for drugs to be recreation. I agree you shouldn't do stupid things while high, I smoked tonight to relieve some stress, finals are over, I'm done for the year with school. It was an occasions. I was out in the woods and they wanted to start a fire with a book and I poured water on it and left. They followed me out. Fucking retards, so many fur trees, they go up SO fast. But I digress. Drugs are fine when being used recreationally, you just have to be smart about it. It's fun with a group, just use common sense.
Your point I believe was that those people that don't use it with a bit of intelligence are the ones that shouldn't be smoking, and why if they put 21 as the pot smoking age, it'll be a lot less abused. I know they'll legalize it here eventually.

Dosage?
Weather forecast?
Previous psychedelic experiences?
Having trip sitters would make my trip less enjoyable but if it's your first time i guess it doesn't hurt to have them
It depends on your trip sitter I think. I've had some cool friends who don't do any drug but they enjoy me being high so much they make my time more fun.
Though, some drugs I'd loathe having a trip sitter. Like E and shrooms.
