Got invited to a wedding in a foreign country in a few months.
Is it a bad idea to do shrooms for the first time a few days prior to travelling 6 hours by train to said wedding? Do travel and unfamiliar environs fuck with the high / increase risk of psychosis?
I did acid a few years back but the effects were dampened by bipolar meds. Still a fun time. This was taken in the comfort of somebody's home though.
Also general psychedelics thread, I guess. The last post on the other shrooms thread was in the Before Times.
I'm a little confused by your phrasing. Doing shrooms for the first time while traveling to another country is not an amazing idea. Doing shrooms six hours before you leave might be quite tiring; not optimal but not really a risk. Doing shrooms a few days before you leave is totally fine. If you're anxious about the journey that may colour the trip, especially if it's the same day.
Just don't do a heroic dose and you'll be fine.
"A few days prior" will be fine, with stuff like acid or mushrooms you do tend to have a bit of a hangover period the next day or two where things can still seem a bit surreal and you integrate the experience, but it's not like you'll be too fragile to do things.
What you want to be more concerned about is if your nerves and/or apprehension or anxiety about the wedding and travelling itself colour your trip. The main thing about psychedelics (as a beginner, at least) is to make sure you're in a good mindset when you take them, and you're in a comfortable and secure feeling environment when you do so. That's not to say you have to be at home and shouldn't leave the house; I've always found that excitement and unpredictability, such as taking a big dose when you're out on a camping trip and then go for a long aimless hike, makes for a much more powerful and intense trip. Even just going fora walk to the shop and back as you're coming up can help to kick things off- But like I say, the important thing is to make sure you are comfortable mentally, or you are liable to steer the trip in darker and scarier directions.
Also be careful what you mix with them. Weed will always intensify things but it's as much of a risk of things going better as going worse, especially nowadays with everything being super high THC and rather low, comparatively, in CBD- Those mindfuck skunk strains are very liable to push a psychedelic trip into anxiety and unpredictability. A few drinks or a few lines of coke have never hurt, in my experience, but try not to overdo it. And it should go without saying, don't mix acid/mushrooms with other drugs that invoke similar effects such as ket or MD, unless you are feeling very brave.
