As for keeping track of time, I set my stopwatch on my wristwatch before ingesting any chemical, it helps to keep track of your journey.
-------------------- "I have come to tell you that you are free. Many ages ago, My consciousness left man, that he might develop himself. I return to find this development approaching completion, but hindered by fear and by misunderstanding. You have built for yourselves psychic suits of armor, and clad in them, your vision is restricted, your movements are clumsy and painful, your skin is bruised, and your spirit is broiled in the sun. I am chaos. I am the substance from which your artists and scientists build rhythms. I am the spirit with which your children and clowns laugh in happy anarchy. I am chaos. I am alive, and I tell you that you are free." HAIL ERIS! ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!

Never even thought of a stopwatch. I think I'll start doing that.

Animal tip? If you have a pet, hang out with it and run your fingers through its fur (assuming it has that).
I find my (usually OVER joyful) dog to kind of be scared of me/my friends/roomates when using mushrooms. He looks unsure and turns his back on us. We use a lot of different drugs from time to time, only mushrooms seem to bother him. Do not worry, we never even thought about feeding him some, and I do watch everyone carefully to make sure no one tries to do it. Would you have any explanation for that? Perhaps a way to overcome his "fear" of shrooms-intoxicated fellows?
BTW This is my first post here, what a great community!

be somewhere you feel safe (no cops, parents, random people, people at all sometimes). its better to point out what you dont want than what you do. dont be the kid that tested the really strong acid driving a car on empty with nowhere to go in a thunderstorm on the highway... catch my drift. oh and some good musics always nice...marley, floyd, the beatles etc.

I wonder if he sees the unusual size of your pupils and gets scared of that. I've noticed my dog can tell that something's different, so maybe that's it.

I'd doubt it. Probably just your body language.

If the pigs ever ask why your eyes are so dialated just tell them you went to eye doctor and they put these drops in your eyes.
Remember they cant prove shit unless you tell them or you have something illegal on you.

My theory so far is that he kind of "smells" that something is going on in my belly/psyche and that it's making him uncomfortable because he'S not used to it and doesnt know what to expect, kinda like if he was seeing a shroomed person as "unstable". Or maybe I read too much dog psychology books.

I think one of the best things to do for a first time tripper, aside from making sure they do their homework, is watch what you say leading up to the experience. There's no sense telling someone about the cactus thorns you were still digging out three weeks after your last big rodeo. That open, inviting field becomes a source of anxiety when you're positive that every bit of tall grass is sticking its needles in your leg.
They need to be ready for a beautiful experience, so talk about the good things and the beauty. You know your friend (you'd better) and you know what makes them feel good so promote those ideas. And before you head out, if y'all have the right kind of agreement, a little endorphin boost never hurt...
I don't like to keep the time. While tripping it's too much of a tie to reality. If I check it at 10:30 then go away for a thousand years I feel like an idiot when I check it at 10:45.
Spraying DEET on your body is like spraying DEET on your thoughts.
The second you see fog, chomp your stash and take a walk.
Accept it.
If the cat bites, leave it home.
First post in the Shroomery, btw. I love this place.

This is my first post too, I have a cat that is normally skiddish as hell but she always likes to hang out with me and my wife when we're trippin'. Probably because we lay on the bed with music playing, Anarchy (the cat) hates being picked up so she thinks we can't when we're laying down. The rest of the time, she runs and hides if you even look at her.

This is Anarchy as a kitten, she's a lot older now but still looks like Phantom of the Opera.

Always keep a mars bar or the like handy just in case your blood sugar drops. Or a can of coke or whatever - it can do wonders if you start to feel woozy or whatever.
Every trip I've ever had I've smoked green like a trooper. Come to think of it, I've never experienced a trip without it....I've always seen a beautiful symbiosis between the two drugs. Maybe I should try a trip without any marijuana for once. Next trip is penned in around Christmas time. Got some lovely liberty caps ready to go.
Very nice ideas. Great post

i dont know if this was said, but if your tripping to hard turn on the lights, and cool your body down, it wont stop the trip but it will make it less....trippy...and if you wanna trip more then you already are, you can stand next to a heater and heat up your body, but be sure you dont heat up to much just get like a little heat going on and you shuld be good. because you dont wanna over heat and dehydrate and what not.

Taking a hot bath/shower not only speeds up the time it takes for a trip to kick in(from my experience), it leaves you feeling refreshed and your skin gets hydrated.
Something about a hot shower, gets the circulation flowing more smoothly and can help with any bodily discomfort.
As has been mentioned, weed and whippits can mellow out a trip, decrease body load, and leave feeling calm and relaxed, and the nitrous/whippits help you to laugh, which is good if you are having a bad trip, and laughing is good for you anyways.
Being out in mother nature and admiring her beauty I've heard is awesome.
Leisure/recreational activities, assuming they're not too physically demanding, can be quite enjoyable. Whether it be video games, watching a funny/trippy movie or cartoon, or drawing. Even riding a bike can be quite fun.
Don't watch films/shows that give off bad vibes.
Read some philosophical/spiritual literature, focusing on letting go, being one with yourself, etc. etc.
Stay away from negative people, people you're uncomfortable/nervous around, and anyone and anything that might give you a bad vibe, or negative feelings.
Just some helpful tips.

the free thinker said: 13. Make a good mental note of the time of ingestion. This is something I like doing, so that if or when I start to get too far out there, I can remind myself that in another four hours (or however long depending on the substance used) I'll be back to my normal reality. This is especially helpful when undergoing intense high-dose trips where it becomes difficult to grasp reality.
This tip saved me during my last trip. It was a bit intense but I knew i would come down in a couple hours so all was good.
