Who's Got A Summer Trippin' Plan?

Hey everyone!
I'm planning to enjoy shrooms on a regular basis (solo) this summer, with a focus on self-exploration, creativity, and general enjoyment of nature.
Is anyone else planing to embark upon an in-depth journey like this?
Tripping once in a while has always been like an "life check point" for me, where I get a chance to step back and take a good look at where I am, where I've been and where I'm going. However, tripping on a more regular basis, I feel like I should have more of a plan of what to explore and what to consider.
I'm at a crossroads in my life and have the opportunity to step back, take a deep breath, smell the flowers, eat the plants, and decide what is next.
Any suggestions? I've already ripped a bunch of the suggested movies from YouTube, a bunch of Terrence McKenna stuff, Psychedelics documentaries and the likes, tripping music, etc. I plan to use the material as "mental seeding of ideas before a trip" vs watching while actually tripping.

you just gave me an Idea of what I could do this summer 
Ive been reading a lot of Manly P Hall books and studying occultisim and religions of all sorts, so that should give me some good thoughts and ideas to explore is psychedelicspace.
Maybe you could pick a religion and play around with its belife systems and practices. Oh and Alan watts is a great person to listen to before a trip

That's pretty much where I'm at, and I plan on many a psychedelic adventuring this summer alone and with friends. Well, Terence McKenna is pretty much the man to listen to. If you go on archive.org, you'll find a whole cache of his talks. Alan Watts is also an awesome guy. I just finished The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley, and I must say it's mandatory reading. I keep a journal and I love writing down thoughts and ideas I had during or after a trip. It's cool to go into trips with plans, and having questions to ask/answer is great, but going with the flow is usually the best thing I think. I plan on mostly tripping in the forests around my town; hard to beat nature. Oh, and Perpetual Groove is a jam band you need to check out. Their music is always positive. I went to their festival, Amberland, last year(and going back this year) and it was the first time I tried acid. It was probably the best experience I've ever had, and they were the perfect band to listen to.

Awesome I'm downloading some Perpetual Groove off of YouTube, and somewhere along the line I ran into a thread of guided meditations and hypnotic things and theta wave things, so I snagged some of those, too.
I've started a journal entry where I'll post my experiences, it's linked in my signature. Last night was my first one of this spring/summer - last time I tripped was about 9 months ago.
Let me know if you start your own similar journal thread so I can come over and comment on it and follow periodically throughout the summer!

I just got a new van. I plan on taking it and some mushrooms on a couple camping trips this summer, and get completely separated from reality. i'm also gonna try to catch a festival or two.

Awesome, nature is so amazing! Be sure to let us know how it goes, we all love summer trippin' stories!
I'd love to hit a festival, but that's not on my books for this summer at least. Have you been to many?
I'm hoping that because I'm staying outside of town a lot, that there'll be some good Northern Lights shows, and some wicked starscapes, and a few nights with lightning bugs, etc. Too bad I didn't have one of those ThinkGeek light show boxes...

Can't wait for the weather to clear up enough for an overnight hike.
Acid, DMT, and shrooms Oh My!

How often do you plan on tripping?
I have a pretty large back-up of LSA and mescaline.. and my first grow is fruiting now! I tend to keep my usage around once every two months, but I think this summer I'm going to up it to once a month or once every two weeks. When fall comes I'll be working my ass off and might not have the time/mindset to journey when I'd like.
I haven't a clue of how I'll go about it though. I think I'll just dose when I feel the time is right!

I think I'll be spending the summer the same way, only hopefully with acid and shrooms. I'll be doing a lot of meditating/personal work. And blissing out to my favorite music, of course.

As I am not very able to get any strong psychedelics around my area I won't be doing many things you guys will, unfortunately. But as a strong advocate for JWH products and blends, I will be smoking and walking through dense wooded areas and grassy planes, It's truely beautiful where I live, and I'll surely take advantage of the warm weather, meditation, calm music and a sunny day in a beautiful place is great for me.
Ill try my best to get ahold of something to set me deeper spiritually, like LSD or mushrooms, so let's hope it works out that way. Great summer plans by the way people

I'm envious, my spread of choices is ... one choice. Ah well, good thing I like the choice!
I'm figuring to trip every 2 weeks or so, with the "trip when the time feels right" aspect mixed in to determine exactly how often.
Last summer I tripped a bunch and at one point I was trying to figure out a list of questions for myself - things to ask myself in order to determine whether now was a GOOD time to trip or a BAD time. I didn't end up figuring it out, and I took a break from tripping for a while, so the "need" went away.
How do you determine when is a "good" time to trip and a "bad" time? Is starting in a good mood enough, or do you ask yourself some questions to ensure the good mood isn't just a veneer for more troubled thoughts you're not really aware of?
Looking forward to your thoughts

My summer tripping plan is to do a psychedelic once or twice a month starting with 2C-C after my exams in a few weeks. I want to have at least one lsd trip and mushroom trip and probably mdma with my girlfriend but also I want to do some less used chemicals like 4-HO-DiPT, 2C-C/P, DiPT etc. and post trip reports here.

Looking forward to your thoughts 
I usually dose every two months. Deciding to dose isn't really too complicated of a process for me. I don't think about it too much.
About a month before dosing, I remind myself that I can dose in a month. I find a week/day that requires nothing of me or the day after. As the time gets closer, I prepare my supplies (for extraction, and tripping), clean my surroundings, make sure I have all of my work/responsibilities taken care of, read some material to ponder while tripping, find questions to pose in case the trip 'flattens out', look at some art, etc..
When the day comes, I clean my tripping area thoroughly, eat a hearty meal, shower, then prepare myself with meditation throughout the day while abstaining from eating anything else. I don't ask myself any questions, but I can easily tell whether or not I'm in the mood to trip. If something comes up that day that is throwing me bad vibes, or I'm just not "feeling it", I won't dose (this has happened quite a few times). However, if I'm feeling good, happy, and anxious to get things underway, I'll sit myself down, thank the universe and the substance, and get to work. 
I think attempting to up my dose to every month or every two weeks for the summer might make me a bit uneasy and cause my mood to feel off when planning those trips. But, we'll see!

Think I'll probably trip once this summer. Go up on the hill above my house and just chill and look at the view of the valley below. I am thinking of bumping up to a whole eighth. First time tripping, I took half an eighth and was with a group of friends.

I plan on having a psychedelic summer when the academic year is over (in less than 2 weeks hopefully). I've tripped around 8 times so far, usually once in 6 months (except doing it twice over the summer). And I had an awesome solo trip a few days ago after almost a year's break. Anyways, since I'll be spending most of my summer in the place where truffles and weed are legal... I'm considering to trip, if I feel like it, at least once in two weeks during the summer, but do you think that would be too often for someone who's not that experienced?
Good vibes and have a great summer, guys!

Man I'm doing the same thing this summer (hopefully). Iv only triped a total of 3 times but I have deffinaty fallen in love with it. I'm just scared of having a negative trip. All my trips so far have been solo but iv told my friends about it and they really want to try it. I'm just wondering if I should trip with them, or if they should experience there first trip solo like I did because that was sweet, any thoughts?

Well, my first experience was with a couple of friends. In fact, I've solo tripped for the first time last week. I think both options are fine and interesting in their own unique ways. But it's up to you to decide, of course  Oh, and I had a freakishly negative trip about a year ago on acid. Totally freaked out but had some friends around to calm me down, which eventually they did but the whole time before that was just terrifying. Presumably, I wasn't ready for such a heavy trip, that's all. And a festival-like environment wasn't the best choice either. Afterwards, it took me almost a year to feel ready to trip again. Apart from that, every single trip has been enjoyable and worthwhile, I must admit. Enjoy and stay safe!

Don't we all?
Dosing from first GT/Australian grow about three or four times. Hopefully one 5g dose.
Earlier this year I tried extracting LSA three times to no avail, but I've got 3000 Morning Glories waiting.
Maybe I'll try cactus again at some point as well.

I already started my summer trippin plans! Or not really plans maybe.. just being outside in nature with good friends and admire the beauty of it all. Makes me so happy! I've been trying to find good lucy but it's not going well, but I have some tryptamines that treat me well (4-ho-met, 5-meo-mipt) but nothing beats good L! I'm going on tour with my band in june and we will try to stop by the alps and find somewhere to do some acid (god please let me find it when in Holland, hehe.)That would probably be spectacular! Do a hoffman.
Happy summer everyone!

I really should. Unfortunately I will be living with my dad in his apartment. While he's very kind and we get along great, he is very anti-drug and he'll be able to tell if I'm tripping. Also I'll have a job and online classes so I won't have much free time :(
But I should definitely trip at least once. What substance depends on what I can find in his town.
Thanks for asking
